Chapter 151: The Questions from Three Years Ago
“It’s true.” Jiang Yun nodded quickly. “What’s wrong? Did you hear about the Power of Blood Shadow when you were in Yu City?”
“I spent two years in the Sakura sect. During that time, Yu City was in chaos. However, there was one thing that I thought was suspicious.”
Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s wrong? What was so suspicious?”Jiang Yun sat up straight.
“It’s a long story… Let’s start with the fight between the two families in Yu City…”
Jiang Yun moved a little closer and listened carefully to Qin Xiaoxi’s story.
It turned out that when Qin Xiaoxi was studying in the Sakura sect, Yu City was in endless chaos. In order to gain control of Yu City, the Liu family and the Xiao family fought for years, and many people lost their homes as a result.
However, when Qin Xiaoxi arrived at Yu City, the outcome of the struggle between the families was pretty obvious.
Liu Jingsheng, the head of the Liu family at that time, obtained some treasures that helped force his spiritual power to the level of a Spirit King realm. No matter how hard the Xiao family fought with him, their spiritual power was, at most, barely at a Spirit Lord realm. Therefore, the outcome of that struggle was already very obvious. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Xiao family had no advantage.
But it was also strange when the head of the Xiao family willingly withdrew from this battle.
Perhaps he was afraid that his family would suffer the same fate as the Yu family.
But what was even more strange was that Liu Jingsheng’s family all died after the mid-autumn festival. Every one of them died an extremely horrifying death but Liu Jingsheng was nowhere to be found.
Some people said that Liu Jingsheng had gone crazy and killed his entire family. Some people said that the Liu family had committed too many sins and was punished by the heavens. Of course, many cultivators thought that this was caused by the treasure that Liu Jingsheng used to breakthrough. Some also said that the death of his entire family was similar to the aftermath caused by the Power of Blood Shadow from a few decades ago. Anyway, everyone had different things to say about the incident.
However, two days before the Liu family was killed, a group of people from the foreign lands arrived.
“So, do you know what those people from the foreign lands look like?” Jiang Yun was curious. Although this group of people from the foreign lands might have just been there by coincidence, after all, in Yu City, there were many cultivators and businessmen from the foreign lands.
“One day, my senior sister and I saw them at the market. Based on my intuition, there’s definitely something wrong with that group of people.” Qin Xiaoxi frowned.
“What do you mean?”
Qin Xiaoxi put her index finger on her chin and thought for a while before giving a rough description. But in the next second, Qin Xiaoxi seemed to have thought of something and added, “Well… There were men and women in that group. The men were all tall and burly, they had beards and short hair. There was nothing suspicious about the men. The suspicious thing was that the women were all wearing hoods despite how hot the day was, and they were also dressed very promiscuously.
Jiang Yun was confused.
“Among the three big countries… why haven’t I heard of people dressed like this?” Jiang Yun also felt very strange. The group of foreigners that Qin Xiaoxi described has never been heard of even in the neighboring country.
This was getting more and more bizarre.
“This… Do you still remember when you saw that group of people?”Jiang Yun thought for a while and suddenly asked.
“Let me think… it was just a few days before the mid-autumn festival two years ago… Why are you asking this???” Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.
Jiang Yun suddenly understood.
“That time… everything matches.”
“What matches?” Qin Xiaoxi was a little puzzled.
When Jiang Yun heard the time, he seemed to have understood something. Three years ago, when his master was still alive, he went to Yu City. He said that he had something to discuss with the sect leader of the Sakura Sect, Lin Xue.
The strange thing was that after his master came back from Yu City, his body began to deteriorate. However, his master never mentioned anything about it.
All of this was too strange.
“Let me ask you, do you still remember when Mount G.o.d of Heaven met with the Sakura Sect?” Jiang Yun asked.
“Let me think… That did happen. At that time, everyone said that the sect master of Mount G.o.d of Heaven would come…My sect master also ended her seclusion because of that.”
Qin Xiaoxi was a little puzzled. “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“Then it fits… at that time, my master was going to Yu City… and when he came back from Yu City, his body got worse and worse. In the end, even when the old man pa.s.sed away, I still couldn’t find out the slightest reason why.”
“You mean… your master came to Yu City to investigate the Power of Blood Shadow?” Qin Xiaoxi was a little shocked, but on second thought, what Jiang Yun said seemed to be able to connect everything.
“I don’t know what he was investigating, but… if Liu Jingsheng was really harmed by the Power of Blood Shadow, then my master must have gone to Yu City to investigate the Power of Blood Shadow.” Jiang Yun’s expression was solemn.
“Then according to what you said, the Power of Blood Shadow already existed on this continent three years ago?” Qin Xiaoxi cried out in surprise.
“It’s not impossible. Think about the power in He Zhao’s body. If it simply reappeared, then it would be fine. I’m only worried about an even more terrifying possibility.” Jiang Yun’s eyes were wide open as he said this, coupled with the atmosphere in the cave, everything seemed a little eerie.
“What’s the terrifying possibility?”
“I’m worried… that the Power of Blood Shadow was never completely wiped out decades ago and remained in this world.”
Qin Xiaoxi thought about it carefully. All of these were completely possible. After all, the Power of Blood Shadow was a scourge to all living things, and its power was extremely terrifying. It would make sense if it was not completely wiped out.
“If it really remained from then till now, then I’m afraid… that the Blood Shadow sect has already infiltrated every corner of this continent. We’re in the light… and they’re in the dark.”
