111: Chapter 111 Investigating the Truth

"Then have you watched the video of the scene? Was there anything unusual at the car accident scene?" Xiao Yuchen continued to ask.

"I have seen it." Qi Xiuyuan suddenly stood up. "The scene was indeed a bit strange. It was nighttime, the lighting was poor, and Qi Shan was driving very fast. Your parents suddenly darted out from the side of the road.

Rather than saying they darted out, it looked more like they were thrown out by someone. It's just very strange; looking at the surveillance footage, there was no one else around at that time.

When he came back, my younger brother even told me that he had been targeted for a staged accident, but because he was driving too fast, he hit and killed the person who staged it."

Hearing Qi Xiuyuan's words, Xiao Yuchen seemed to understand something. That was indeed not an ordinary traffic accident; it was someone deliberately disguising it as a traffic accident.

"Then what about the video? Is the video still there?" Xiao Yuchen asked.

"I watched the surveillance video at the police station. The police station should have the video on file," Qi Xiuyuan replied.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation."

Xiao Yuchen did not offer any explanation and left the Qi residence directly. Afterward, he called Zhou Tiancheng and asked him to help find the video recording of his parents being hit that year.

When his parents passed away suddenly that year, Xiao Yuchen was so overcome with grief that he actually forgot to check the surveillance video.

Half an hour later, a video was sent to Xiao Yuchen's phone. The content of the video was about the same as what Qi Xiuyuan said; his parents were indeed thrown out by someone.

Moreover, he discovered another problem: his parents should have already passed away by the time they were thrown out. Qi Shan was indeed framed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen dialed Zhou Tiancheng's phone number again, asking him to return a portion of the Qi family's assets to them. This was all he could do.

Zhou Tiancheng did not understand why Xiao Yuchen would do this, but since Xiao Yuchen said so, he just needed to follow instructions.

After settling this matter, Xiao Yuchen went to the cemetery again. To his surprise, the two tombstones next to it had disappeared, and some workers were expanding the tombstone of Xiao Yuchen's parents.

Xiao Yuchen didn't understand what was going on, so he found the cemetery director. When the director learned that the person who came was Xiao Yuchen, he was very polite and explained his thoughts.

Xiao Yuchen did not refuse the director's deliberate flattery, but he needed to verify some things, so he asked the workers to leave first.

After the workers left, Xiao Yuchen stood in front of the tombstone for a long time before slowly speaking: "Father, Mother, in order to find out the truth, I must offend you."

Xiao Yuchen dug out an urn from under the tombstone; it was his father's ashes.

Opening the lid of the urn, Xiao Yuchen cut his finger, dripped a drop of fresh blood into the ashes, and then performed a hand seal.

"Spirit Seeking Technique, rise!"

Xiao Yuchen let out a low roar, yet the ashes showed no reaction at all.

"As expected, this is not Father's ashes at all. Since Father's ashes are fake, then Mother's ashes must also be fake. Could my parents still be alive?

But how did the other party manage to do this? What was their purpose? If my parents are still alive, where are they? Why don't they come to find us?"

Various questions emerged in Xiao Yuchen's mind. This Spirit Seeking Technique could not only check whether the ashes had a blood relationship with him, but could also confirm whether they were transformed from spirit bones.

The so-called spirit bones are the bones within a Cultivator's body. Xiao Yuchen had just tested that these were not spirit bones. The reason he was sure of this was that he felt his parents were Cultivators, or at least his father should have been.

Why was he so certain? Because the jade stones his father gave those relatives were not ordinary jade, but Spirit Stones, and they were Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

If his father was not a Cultivator, how could he have so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones on him? And how could the scar on his face have disappeared?

Therefore, Xiao Yuchen had a bold guess: his parents might have come from the Cultivation World, because there shouldn't be any Top-Grade Spirit Stones on Earth at present.

Moreover, since his father could casually take out Top-Grade Spirit Stones, would his father be a low-level Cultivator? He should at least be at the Soul Transformation Stage.

A Soul Transformation Stage expert could be said to be an invincible existence on Earth, so how could he possibly be killed by a car? The reason he went to the Qi family and came to the cemetery was just to verify his thoughts.

Although his thoughts were confirmed, he didn't know if all this was done by his parents or by someone else.

If it was done by his parents, then at least it could prove that his parents were likely safe, just having left for some reason.

If it was not done by his parents, then it was a bit troublesome; his parents were very likely captured and brought back, and they might even be in mortal danger.

Regardless of the situation, Xiao Yuchen was helpless. Not to mention that he couldn't find the entrance to the Cultivation World at all, even if he found it, what could he do with his current cultivation level?

The Foundation Establishment Stage might be very powerful on Earth, but if in the Cultivation World, it wouldn't be much different from an ordinary person, so Xiao Yuchen was now urgently wanting to improve his cultivation level.

To ensure there were no mistakes, Xiao Yuchen used the Spirit Seeking Technique to examine his mother's ashes, and sure enough, those ashes were not his mother's either.

Back then, he had personally taken his parents' bodies to be cremated, so the ashes could not have been wrong, but for a Cultivator, none of this was a problem.

That person behind the scenes must have found two people with body types similar to his parents, disguised them as his parents, or they directly took a Disguise Pill. He was just an ordinary person back then, so it was normal that he couldn't discover it.

Thinking through all this, Xiao Yuchen drove home. His mood was significantly better; as long as he hadn't seen his parents' corpses, he still had hope of seeing his parents again.

When he returned home, Li Yiran, Xiao Yuxin, and Dashan were watching TV in the living room, but the two women were clearly a bit absent-minded.

Seeing Xiao Yuchen return, the two women hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation. Xiao Yuchen knew that if he didn't say something, these two would definitely not be at ease.

Therefore, Xiao Yuchen did not intend to continue hiding it and roughly recounted the process of events, but he did not mention that Xiao Yuxin was not his biological younger sister and the matters regarding Cultivators.

"You mean Father and Mother might still be alive?" Hearing this news, Xiao Yuxin was very excited.

"Right now, I can only confirm that the ashes in the cemetery are not Father and Mother's. As for whether they are still alive, I cannot determine that yet," Xiao Yuchen said truthfully.

"That's great, at least there is still hope. Brother, you must find a way to find Father and Mother."

"Rest assured, I will. Suddenly knowing this news, my mind is also a bit chaotic. Before, because many things were uncertain, I didn't tell you."

...

In the afternoon, Second Elder Yao Chen and the others returned. They successfully helped all the Disciples detoxify the five poisons powder, and Elder Yao Li also successfully became the new Valley Master of the Medicine God Valley.

Because many matters needed to be resolved by the Valley Master, Elder Yao Li stayed in the Medicine God Valley for the time being.

"Huh? Your cultivation levels have actually improved, and some people have even improved by two small Ranks. Is it the effect of that Divine Pill of mine?" Xiao Yuchen noticed the abnormality in several people.

"Yes, Master. Your Medicinal Pill is truly too miraculous. I was previously at the Early Stage of the Xiantian Realm; just by taking one-sixth of the Divine Pill, I broke through to the Middle Stage of the Xiantian Realm," Second Elder Yao Chen replied excitedly.
