"Because he's guilty," Ye Bufan said, "Gongyang Jue was once a peak powerhouse of the Great Accomplishment realm, but Su's father is just an ordinary person. After seizing his body, it takes a long time to adjust."
For this reason, after taking possession of another body, he found a place to hide and cultivated for several years.
Even with that, he hadn't completely merged with his physical body. Later, when Earth suddenly experienced a resurgence of spiritual energy, it provided him with the perfect opportunity to recover his strength back to the Void Core realm.
With this power, he decided to take a walk in China, but he directly possessed someone's body and didn't have his father Su's memories. He didn't know much about what happened in the capital.
And having been trapped in the ancient mirror for so many years, he has no idea what the world is like now.
Out of caution, Gongyang Jun concealed his appearance and secretly sought out Dongfang Renjie, helping him erase the memories of the Soul-Severing Blade. He intended to use Dongfang Renjie's hand to establish his own power and further investigate the truth about Earth.
"Speaking of which, Ye Bufan paused, "It's also his bad luck that he happened to run into me returning from the Kunlun Continent at this time."
When he saw me obliterate the Sun and Moon Holy Fire Cult and slay the eight-headed serpent, he realized the vast difference in power and immediately went into hiding to continue his cultivation.
After so many years, he not only fully recovered his previous strength, but went further, reaching the early stage of crossing the tribulation. Thinking that he could fight me, he returned again.
The result is that the earth went through an AI upheaval, and I made a strong comeback. He found out that he was ultimately far less powerful than me, so he came up with this way.
I have to say, his plan was pretty flawless, with multiple layers of strategy. Too bad he ran into me though.
He said that the first of the top ten most venomous poisons was hardly a threat to him now, not much different from flour.
With the account of events finished, those around shook their heads and lamented that Lord Gongyang's luck was truly lacking.
His physical body was destroyed, and his soul deity had finally found a place to hide, but ended up drifting abroad. He couldn't find a suitable vessel to inhabit.

Just when I finally met Su Hongzhang, he returned to the scene twice in a row after Ye Bufan's forceful comeback.
If ten years later, he wouldn't just be a powerhouse of the Mahayana period, even someone in the Nascent Soul stage could become the overlord of this world.
In a nutshell, it's just four words: born at the wrong time.
And just then, the Eastern man, Jie, knelt before Ye Bufan with a thud: “Ye Yixian, I was wrong before. Please forgive me and don't hold a grudge against me any longer.”
Beside him, Dongfang Hui also showed a pleading look. No matter what, he was her blood brother after all.
"Forget it, let bygones be bygones. People are not saints, who can be without fault. I'll tell the head of the Eastern family later and lift your previous punishment!"
Ye Bufan waved his hand dismissively. He wouldn't exaggerate to say that the current outstanding figures of the East were completely insignificant to him.
Moreover, the right decision was made this time, and he is Dong Fang Hui Zhong's own brother. Since he has reformed, we should no longer hold a grudge.
"Thank you, Immortal Doctor Ye!"
The Eastern man was overjoyed, for this time he had finally made the right choice and changed the course of his life. He would no longer have to live like a prisoner.
Subsequently, the Gao family arranged for Su Hongzhang's body to be transported back to China and buried in three days.
Next came the wedding of Gao Dagang and Zheng Huafie. Although things happened very suddenly, they were handled neatly and efficiently. Outsiders were unaware of what had occurred and there were no negative repercussions.
The next day, a grand wedding was held on Hong Kong Island, and the couple finally tied the knot.
Ye Bufan spent two days in bustling Hong Kong with his companions before returning to China. On the third day, he buried Su Hongzhang with Su Ruyue, laying him to rest alongside his deceased wife, Bai Ruili.
(The extra chapters are to make up for regrets. These chapters fill in the gap about why Dong Fang Renjie betrayed and also give a result for Su Hongzhang's disappearance.)
