Chapter 1011 1011: Meng Jueyan's Shock
Once finished, Han Yu activated his jade slip and called for Meng Jueyan.
A few minutes later, light footsteps approached from outside the room.
Knock.
Knock.
The door slowly opened.
Meng Jueyan entered cautiously.
The first thing she saw was Ju Fan sitting cross legged on the floor in deep meditation. Cold Qi drifted around him while his expression remained perfectly calm and lifeless.
"Master?" she called out softly.
At that exact moment, she suddenly felt a hand rest lightly on her shoulder.
Meng Jueyan's body trembled violently and she spun around immediately in shock.
But then she froze... Completely froze.
Her eyes widened while her breathing stopped entirely.
She simply stared.
One second passed.
Then another.
And another.
An entire minute went by without her saying a single word.
The face before her felt impossibly familiar.
Not Ju Fan.
Not the cold Legacy Disciple feared throughout the Blood Sect.
This was someone she thought she would never see again for the rest of her life.
"Han… Han Yu?" she finally muttered weakly.
Han Yu smiled faintly.
"So you still remember me."
His voice carried the same relaxed tone she remembered from long ago.
Meng Jueyan's mind went blank.
"Remember?" she repeated almost absentmindedly.
At first she thought Ju Fan had merely copied Han Yu's appearance somehow. Perhaps he had seen him before or learned about him through investigation.
But now…
Something felt different.
The expression.
The voice.
The eyes.
Everything felt far too real.
Han Yu simply chuckled softly before speaking again.
"Surely you have not forgotten your fellow acquaintance under Elder Yi."
The moment those words left his mouth, Meng Jueyan nearly collapsed. That was something only Han Yu would know. Only someone who had truly been there all those years ago could say something like that.
"You…" she whispered while staring at him in disbelief. "How?"
Her reality felt like it was collapsing around her.
But slowly, her thoughts began connecting together. One memory after another surfaced in her mind. The strange kindness Ju Fan had shown her from the beginning. The way he seemed unusually interested in the orthodox sects.
How he had secretly saved disciples from the Twin Leaf Peak Sect and other orthodox sects. The hidden distaste he carried toward the Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect. The way he protected certain people while destroying others.
The merchant organization.
The strange methods.
The impossible schemes.
All those little details she had never fully understood suddenly began fitting together perfectly.
"You…" Meng Jueyan sat down heavily onto a nearby chair while staring blankly at him. "You were Han Yu all along?"
"Of course," Han Yu replied casually. "Why else would I have saved you back then?"
He smiled slightly afterward.
"And why I saved my senior brothers and sisters as well."
Meng Jueyan felt completely overwhelmed.
It was simply too much.
The terrifying Legacy Disciple Ju Fan.
The genius creator of the Narcissus Mirrors.
The mastermind behind countless schemes.
The feared inheritor of terrifying techniques.
All this time…
It had actually been Han Yu.
The same Han Yu she once knew from the orthodox sects.
The same Han Yu who supposedly disappeared long ago.
She needed nearly ten full minutes before she finally managed to organize her thoughts properly.
And once she did… Everything began making sense.
Every strange event.
Every inconsistency.
Every hidden action.
Even Ju Fan's personality that seemed to be a bit erratic at times, suddenly became understandable. She realized this was not because the man was eccentric but because it was Han Yu pretending all this time.
"Then… everything that happened in the sect…" Meng Jueyan began carefully.
But before she could finish speaking, Han Yu gently raised a finger to his lips.
"Shh…"
A sly smile appeared on his face.
"Some things are better left unsaid."
Meng Jueyan immediately understood.
Her expression changed instantly.
She realized that even knowing too much could become dangerous. The Blood Sect was already hunting invisible enemies and imaginary conspiracies. If even a fragment of the truth ever leaked out, the consequences would become unimaginable.
As such she forcibly buried those thoughts deep within her mind.
Han Yu nodded approvingly seeing her reaction.
"Good."
He then began explaining parts of his overall plan.
Not everything of course.
Han Yu still kept his deepest soul cultivation secrets hidden. He never explained exactly how Soul Projection worked, nor how he controlled others, nor how he managed to create a second body through revival.
Meng Jueyan also wisely chose not to ask.
Some secrets were simply too dangerous.
Still, Han Yu gave her enough details to understand the broader picture.
He explained how both bodies would function. Ju Fan's body would remain hidden here within the safe house most of the time, maintaining the identity of the Blood Sect Legacy Disciple.
Meanwhile Han Yu's revived body would move freely outside the sect and continue expanding their influence across the continent. Whenever necessary, Han Yu could return and control Ju Fan again.
The arrangement sounded utterly insane.
Meng Jueyan listened quietly for hours while Han Yu explained everything calmly.
The more she learned, the more stunned she became.
At one point she simply stared at him blankly before finally speaking.
"You… you actually deceived the entire Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect…"
Han Yu leaned back lazily.
"In a way."
Meng Jueyan almost laughed from disbelief.
"In a way?" she repeated. "You infiltrated the sect for decades, became a Legacy Disciple, manipulated the elders, built hidden organizations beneath their noses, pushed the sect into chaos and made them believe imaginary enemies existed everywhere."
She looked toward Ju Fan's meditating body.
"And now you even created a second body while keeping the first alive."
Han Yu merely smiled innocently.
When Meng Jueyan saw that expression, she suddenly felt slightly speechless.
Then realization slowly dawned on her.
The terrifying Ashen Moon Remnants.
The hidden conspiracies.
The invisible enemies.
The sect destroying itself through fear and paranoia.
Almost all of it…
Had been orchestrated by a single person.
Han Yu.
And somehow…
He was still smiling casually about it.
'He's the biggest scammer in the entire world.' She was sure of it.
