Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1816 1817: Demon Hunter

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, then I'll share my thoughts with you all. Actually, this matter is very simple. The answer is, no one ever led the Demon Hunters into the cave in the first place."

Everyone was extremely shocked after hearing this answer, as their appetite for suspense had been whetted. Whoever had led the Demon Hunters into the cave would end up in the news tomorrow.

But now, saying no one led them into the cave, these people naturally couldn't accept it.

Ling Zhenfei certainly knew his conclusion would cause an uproar, but at this point, Watanabe Kazushi said, "How does that count as an answer? I saw with my own eyes Hoshino Yuji taking the Demon Hunter inside."

Ling Zhenfei continued, "Actually, it's quite simple. What you saw was your own illusion, because you, Hoshino Yuji, and Lu Tao were already injured from the encounter with the Demon Hunter captain earlier.

The so-called illusions you later saw were actually created from your own thoughts, a reflection of the slightest distrust you buried deep in your hearts towards one another.

Because of that slight distrust between you two, just like Lu Tao didn't trust you islanders, even though it's a deep inner imagination, it has always existed."

Hoshino Yuji said, "Impossible, how can there be such a poison?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You yourselves mentioned after being poisoned, your mind acts up, becoming somewhat unclear."

Hoshino Yuji asked, "Why would they do this?"

Ling Zhenfei replied with a smile, "They certainly have their motives, even after capturing you and then letting you go, it was all for the same reason—to let you kill each other just as you're doing now."

Everyone was extremely surprised after listening, almost unable to imagine such a complicated and magical process and reason.

But what Ling Zhenfei said was reasonable, leading many to start discussing it. Some supported what Ling Zhenfei said, but some opposed it.

On the platform, Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi were somewhat stunned, indeed puzzled after all the things that happened over the years.

After the two families came out back then, they started fighting, and originally the Hoshino and Watanabe families had a very good relationship, it was only after this matter that things soured.

The relationship between Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi is actually separated by generations, but since both are family heads, the generational difference was downplayed.

Hoshino Yuji could go to Foreign Land Space originally because of their relationship.

Hoshino Yuji was watched growing up by Watanabe Kazushi, it can be said, Watanabe Kazushi understands Hoshino Yuji very well.

Hoshino Yuji is certainly a warrior, with great respect for Bushido. No matter what mistake he makes, Hoshino Yuji will admit it. Could the collision really change Hoshino Yuji just because of what happened in Foreign Land Space?

After coming back from Foreign Land Space, Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi don't even know how many times they fought, but each time Hoshino Yuji adamantly said it had nothing to do with him.

Yet Watanabe Kazushi didn't believe him at the time, because he saw it with his own eyes, how could he easily believe others?

But now Ling Zhenfei's words also made him feel strange, because what Ling Zhenfei said seemed indeed unquestionable.

Seeing their expressions, Ling Zhenfei knew they were beginning to have some ideas.

Ling Zhenfei continued, "Those Demon Hunters must have planned it this way. First, you're already poisoned, and over time, the poison will act up, making you unable to die but desolate for life.

Once you're returned, your inner illusions will lead to mutual killing, and further conflict between the families, causing more cultivator casualties."

Watanabe Kazushi asked, "Why would they do this?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Because their aim includes all of us, not just one. And the outcome is already very clear; your two families fought to the death over this matter.

If the Demon Hunters who let you go see the current situation, they're definitely pleased with the outcome they've orchestrated."

Lu Tao said, "What you're saying makes some sense. In this world, many things are not as they seem; what the eyes see often carries deception."

Watanabe Kazushi said to Hoshino Yuji, "Dare you swear on the time in Foreign Land Space?"

Hoshino Yuji said, "I dare swear to the Ancestor; if I truly led the Demon Hunters there, may I never die peacefully. But do you dare swear?"

Watanabe Kazushi immediately swore to the Ancestor, "If I lie, let me be poisoned again, trapped in the horror of venom for life."

After swearing, Ling Zhenfei saw the hatred in their eyes diminish greatly; Ling Zhenfei knew he had helped them resolve the conflict.

Ling Zhenfei asked Lu Tao, "Senior, what do you think, do you believe them?"

Lu Tao pondered for a long time and said, "Perhaps what you said is correct, we've all been duped by the Demon Hunters. For the past twenty years, my heart has been filled with hatred, longing for revenge, but now it seems we've indeed been fooled."

Hoshino Yuji was very excited, "Big Brother Lu, hearing your voice again is really thrilling. The hatred between Watanabe Kazushi and me is mostly because of you; we all thought you were killed too."

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Indeed, the battle was too fierce then, you fell off a cliff, and we thought you were dead. Now thinking about it, it's ridiculous. As cultivators, falling off a cliff isn't that easy to die from."

Lu Tao said, "Indeed fortunate, I met Zhenfei, it was Zhenfei who helped me cure the poison; otherwise, I would absolutely be dead."

Hoshino Yuji smiled, "Big Brother, Zhenfei also helped me with my poison. Moreover, I have good news—I've married my daughter to Zhenfei."

Lu Tao was taken aback after hearing, "You've acted swiftly, finding yourself such a promising young son-in-law so soon; normally you're cautious, but you've been so decisive on this matter."

Hoshino Yuji awkwardly smiled, if not for the duel, his daughter's marriage wouldn't have been so hasty.

Watanabe Kazushi also said, "Lu Tao, where are you now, it's been twenty years! I miss you very much."

Lu Tao laughed heartily, "Yes, twenty years it's been. Who could have thought, for these past twenty years, I've been thinking of you, even if it was for revenge, I truly never forgot you."

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Our families won't fight anymore, after we settle the matters at home, we'll come to find you."

Lu Tao said, "Certainly, I'm at Zhenfei's villa now; I have a small courtyard here with beautiful scenery where you can stay when you come."

Ling Zhenfei knew there was no more business for him now; the three old men, not having seen each other for twenty years, were surely going to talk for a long time.
