Chapter 603: Chapter 604: The Old Madman

"Pu!" Jiang Shengtian spat out blood, an ugly sneer spreading across his face; "You finally saw through me, I thought I could fool everyone for a lifetime!"

"I have seen Jiang Shengtian. Though he is arrogant, he is upright as a person and would never associate with the demon sect, let alone imprison his own daughter or plan to kill his own grandson!" Mo Lao said coldly.

Ye Wudao’s body shuddered as he said, "What, Master, he is not Jiang Shengtian?"

"Yes," Mo Lao nodded.

"Great Demon King, it’s my bad luck to fall into your hands! Just kill me!" Jiang Shengtian said.

"Before you die, tell me your true identity!" Mo Lao demanded.

"I will never tell you!" Jiang Shengtian refused.

Bang!

Mo Lao stomped on Jiang Shengtian’s face; "If you don’t talk, I’ll crush your skull with my foot!"

"Cough, I’ll talk..." Jiang Shengtian’s eyes showed fear; "I am a member of the Shadow Hall of the demon sect, my real name is Chen Kui, under the orders of the Shadow Hall’s Deputy Hall Master, I was impersonating Jiang Shengtian to control the Jiang royal family!"

"You indeed are a man of the demon sect!" Mo Lao sneered and said, "Then where is the real Jiang Shengtian?"

Chen Kui remained silent.

"Not talking, eh? Then, would you like to taste the strike of heavenly thunder?" Mo Lao sneered coldly.

What?

Chen Kui’s complexion changed drastically, terror evident on his face; he certainly did not want to be reduced to ashes.

"I, I’ll talk!" Chen Kui said fearfully; "I wanted to kill Jiang Shengtian, but that old thief had practiced a secret art making his body impervious to weapons. I could only imprison him in the death dungeon of the Jiang royal family!"

"Wudao, go to the death dungeon of the Jiang royal family!" Mo Lao ordered.

"Master, I’m tied up by this rope!" Ye Wudao said with a wry smile.

Seeing this, Mo Lao raised his hand and instantly shattered the ropes binding Ye Wudao.

Once freed, Ye Wudao’s face lit up with excitement.

"Wudao, I know where the death dungeon of the Jiang royal family is. I’ll take you there!" Li Yi said.

"Okay," Ye Wudao nodded.

...

Jiang Royal Family.

Death Dungeon.

This place was devoid of daylight, breeding mosquitoes, with prisoners in each cell distorted by torment.

"Let me out!"

"Hurry and let me go!"

Ye Wudao, looking at these people, asked, "What’s the deal with these people?"

"They have all offended Jiang Shengtian!" Li Yi explained and then paused before adding, "They are still better off. I heard that in the last cell, there’s an old man who has been imprisoned for over a decade without a bite of food or a drop of water."

"Then what does he eat, what does he drink?" Ye Wudao asked.

Li Yi shook his head.

A moment later.

"We’re here!" Li Yi said, pointing to the cell in front of them.

This cell was specially fortified, and a blood-colored talisman was stuck on the door.

Inside the cell, there was a man in tattered clothes, looking like a beggar with disheveled hair, catching rats in the cell.

"Got you!"

The old beggar suddenly grabbed a rat, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and opened his mouth to swallow the live rat whole.

"Hiss!" Ye Wudao drew in a sharp breath; swallowing live rats was too twisted.

"This man is Old Crazy. He’s been eating rats and drinking snake blood for over a decade, out of his mind, and he might just be the one we’re looking for!" Li Yi said.

"I’m so hungry!" After swallowing a live rat, the old man still felt ravenous, but his cell lacked any food, to the point where not even a fly dared to enter.

"Old Crazy, you’re going to eat all the rats and snakes in the prison!"

"Leave some food for your brothers too!" other prisoners trapped in different cells complained.

"I, I want food!" Old Crazy shouted; "Give me food!"

Ye Wudao stood outside the cell and called out; "Jiang Shengtian!"

Boom!

Hearing this name, the old madman’s body shuddered and he immediately stared intently at Ye Wudao.

Such a terrifying gaze!

The next moment, the old madman’s body flashed, and one hand tried to grab Ye Wudao.

Bang!

At that instant, the blood-red talisman attached to the cell erupted with a terrifying force, instantly repelling the old madman.

The old madman, completely unfazed by pain, firmly gripped the iron bars of the cell and roared, "You, who are you?"

"Are you truly Jiang Shengtian?" Ye Wudao asked.

"I’m asking who you are!" the old madman bellowed, "How do you know my name?"

"Old madman, stop bluffing!"

"If you are Jiang Shengtian, then who is the current Clan Leader of the Jiang Imperial Family?"

"Are you starving and hallucinating?" the other prisoners scoffed.

"I am Jiang Shengtian, I am Jiang Shengtian!" Jiang Shengtian bellowed.

Ye Wudao looked at Jiang Shengtian and said, "How can you prove you are Jiang Shengtian?"

Jiang Shengtian suddenly lowered his head and fell silent.

"Heh, old madman, looks like your bluff has been called, hasn’t it?"

"If you were Jiang Shengtian, how could you possibly have been imprisoned in a cell for over a decade?" many prisoners mocked.

Seeing Jiang Shengtian’s gaze dim, Li Yi shook his head and said, "This guy is just a madman, he’s not the real Jiang Shengtian!"

Ye Wudao nodded and was preparing to turn around and leave when suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yi asked.

"I’ll ask him a question!" Ye Wudao turned around, his gaze focusing on Jiang Shengtian inside the cell, "Do you know who Jiang Shengtian’s daughter and son-in-law are?"

"Ye Lingtian, Jiang Qin," Jiang Shengtian answered woodenly.

"And the son of Ye Lingtian and Jiang Qin, do you know his name?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Heh, this young fellow, claiming he’s Jiang Shengtian, how could he possibly know so much!"

"Exactly, this old man is delirious, just a madman!" the prisoners mocked.

"Ling Tian and Little Qin’s son!" Jiang Shengtian’s wooden expression showed confusion.

Seeing this, Ye Wudao sighed in resignation, shook his head, and said, "Let’s go, Senior Li!"

Li Yi nodded, patted Ye Wudao on the shoulder, "Don’t be disheartened."

Just then, the old madman suddenly spoke, "I remember now, I remember now, their son is called Ye Wudao!"

Boom!

Ye Wudao, struck as by lightning, fiercely turned around, his gaze tightly fixed on the old madman trapped inside the cell.

"How could this old man know?" Li Yi was shocked internally, knowing the old madman had been imprisoned in the cell for over a decade, how could he possibly know who Ye Wudao was.

Not to mention that Ye Wudao was just a child more than a decade ago!

Moreover, this death cell was completely cut off from any contact with the outside world.

"You know Ye Wudao?" Ye Wudao asked incredulously.

"Of course, I was the one who chose the name Ye Wudao for the child. Impressive, isn’t it? I even spent a lot of money to have a master calculate it!" the old madman said proudly.

What?

"My name was chosen by you?"

Ye Wudao’s body trembled, he asked, "What else do you know?"

"Twenty-some years ago, Ye Lingtian and Little Qin got married, and a nasty old man made a scene once, all high and mighty, claiming my daughter stole his son-in-law! How could I allow that? But that old geezer was too strong, I couldn’t beat him!" the old madman said, his face showing helplessness.

Ye Wudao’s heart trembled, the nasty old man he referred to was probably his own master, the Great Demon King!

"Later, it was still Little Qin’s kind heart that moved that nasty old man!" the old madman spoke again.

Exactly!

That was indeed the style of my master!

He was domineering and acted by his own rules, moral yet ruthless, but he highly valued relationships!

"A year later, Ling Tian and Little Qin had a child. I held him, and the little brat even peed on me—I don’t know how many times I had to change his nappies!" the old madman said, laughing. He then looked toward the door at Ye Wudao with a hopeful, dim gaze and suddenly said, "Ah, if Wudao were still alive, he would be about your age."

With a thump, Ye Wudao fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, he exclaimed, "Undutiful grandson Ye Wudao, kneeling before grandfather!"
