Chapter 1086 - What She Had To Face
"If it"s just based on martial techniques, we can"t be sure that it"s them. It might be a coincidence," said Zhang s.h.i.+zhao as if he was trying to explain things to himself.
However, no one responded. Everyone knew that a martial technique that could turn flesh and blood into nothingness was a strange and unique technique that they had never even heard of, let alone seen it. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
They felt a slight chill down their backs. A thousand years ago, Golden Pill Sect was at its peak as one of the five great sects. But it collapsed due to the surprise attack of their enemy. Now that their enemy had once again reappeared, how would they protect themselves again? The most troublesome thing was that they did not even know who the other party was. How could one defend oneself from something unknown? Even if they wanted to take the initiative to attack first, they wouldn"t know where to start.
"There"s one thing I don"t quite understand. If it really was those people, why didn"t they attack for the past thousand years? Why did they attack now? Even if they did, they should have attacked the sect. Why did choose you?" Su Yizhi tapped his finger lightly on the table as he muttered to himself.
"Perhaps they came for the flower," said Zhang s.h.i.+zhao with a frown.
When they remembered how the old man earlier behaved, that theory was possible.
"In other words, they are aware of the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Nirvana Flower. The fall of Golden Pill Sect a thousand years ago was also caused by its bloom." Elder Yuan"s eyes lit up as he started to come to a realization. They had been trying to figure out the cause of their fall and now they were one step closer to uncovering the truth.
"That might not be the case." Su Yizhi shook his head, "Before the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Nirvana Flower bloomed, no one even knew what it was supposed to look like. Even if they really came for the nirvana flower, that meant they already knew what it looked like and could have easily obtained it then. Why wait until now?"
Zhang s.h.i.+zhao and Elder Yuan fell silent. Su Yizhi"s a.n.a.lysis was very reasonable. For them to wait another thousand years just for the flower meant that they could not identify it. In that case, why did they bother Golden Pill Sect back then?
Thus, there had to be another reason for the destruction of Golden Pill Sect a thousand years ago. But, what was it?
A thought flashed through Ling Chuxi"s mind. Perhaps, she had overlooked a very important matter.
The fact that the Cang Yuan Sword heart was hidden within the sect sword was a secret that even the ancestors of Golden Pill Sect did not know about. The other sects definitely did not know about it either. If they did, Golden Pill Sect would have long been targeted by the other sects.
It was also because of this that Ling Chuxi had always believed that her enemy back then was just targeting the sect sword without knowing the truth about it, so she wasn"t too worried.
But now that she thought about it, what if the other party was actually targeting the Cang Yuan Sword?
When she remembered the divine consciousness she had sensed when she first entered Kai Yuan City as well as what the sword spirit had said, Ling Chuxi suddenly thought of a possibility: the enemy attacked the sect and caused its destruction in pursuit of the Cang Yuan Sword heart but failed. Now that the Su family had reappeared after a thousand years, the enemy finally revealed themselves again.
And their ident.i.ty was none other than Senior Cang Yuan"s former enemy!
The more Ling Chuxi thought about it, the more she felt that her speculations were right. She couldn"t help but shudder. It was no wonder that the Golden Pill Sect of the past was destroyed so quickly and suddenly. How could Golden Pill Sect withstand such an opponent? If these black-clothed people were really related to such an enemy tonight, Golden Pill Sect would probably have to face a huge crisis. And now that they had just rebuilt themselves, they were even more vulnerable than ever.
One day, she would have to face a huge threat.
