Chapter 492: Past Events
Su Jinxi has been busy these days.
Following her command, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat tribe abandoned their ancestral land, which they had held for countless generations, and the entire tribe came to this place that was completely unfamiliar to them.
Everything has to start all over again.
Of course, the tribe was not short of supplies. Although they left in a hurry, they took many good things with them with them using their spatial rings and did not leave them in the Demon Realm. Of course, they did not need to worry about the things left in the Demon Realm.
Since the Demon Emperor would send Demon Lords to hunt them down, he would naturally not forget the Nine Lives Demon Hill in the Demon Realm. Whatever remained there would also be looted.
However, this treasure land, which can be described as a fairyland, is enough to make up for the things that the entire tribe failed to pack up and take with them when they left.
The tribe needs to be rebuilt, and there are many complicated matters to attend to. Fortunately, with Su Fangchun and Su Luo around, Su Jinxi's pressure is not too great. She still has half a day each day to snuggle in Gu Heng's arms and have him stroke her hair.
The days passed quickly.
Yin Xueling became increasingly impressed with Gu Heng's painting skills. Although she could not become Gu Heng's apprentice, she was already content with the status quo.
natural.
Yin Rufeng agreed without any surprise, bringing the entire Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan under the purview of the Desolate City Array.
In any case, the strongest of these foreign demons are just pets to Gu Heng, posing no threat to the entire desolate city. It's better to do Gu Heng another favor.
Everything is progressing steadily.
...Guhua Mountain Range.
Two cultivators from the Eastern Frontier Alliance, led by the town mayor of Guhua Town, ventured deep into the mountains where the explosion had occurred.
The two cultivators who arrived were Liu Yu and an old cultivator who acted as her guards, both of whom were at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
"Such a big thing happened here?"
Liu Yu frowned as she looked at the large pit in the Ancient Flower Mountain Range.
It seems that the town mayor was right.
The explosions here were truly terrifying.
This place is located in the rear of the Eastern Frontier Alliance, not too far from the Central Region. It took the people sent out by the mayor of Guhua Town some time to reach a stronghold near the Eastern Frontier Alliance. Then, the cultivators of the Eastern Frontier Alliance reported the matter to their superiors, who would then decide how to handle it.
...And then, no one dealt with it. The reason was quite normal: the situation at the front was very tense, and besides, there was no news of any demons sneaking in from the rear. Even if they had, why would they come and destroy an ordinary mountain range?
Such things are then considered unimportant.
Liu Yu came here mainly to do something.
The Eastern Frontier is currently engulfed in war. As the heir to the position of Valley Master of Thousand Sound Valley, and with a powerful old Taoist master of music in charge of his teaching, his cultivation has already broken through the Integration Stage, which can be described as extremely rapid progress!
She didn't want to stay cooped up in Qianyin Valley forever.
However, Valley Master Luo Xian also disagreed with going to the front lines to fight the demons.
Even when leaving Thousand Sound Valley, one must have a protector at the tenth level of Tribulation Transcending to accompany them.
So, having no other choice, Liu Yu came here. She couldn't go to the front lines, but she could handle things that happened in the rear.
After much deliberation, the events that occurred in the Ancient Flower Mountains are the most bizarre and mysterious, and there are probably some unknown secrets involved.
"Mr. Liu, could you tell what caused this explosion?"
Liu Yu was puzzled, so she asked the cultivator protecting her.
"I don't know."
The old cultivator surnamed Liu shook his head, his eyes solemn.
The explosion's range was terrifying, but there was no residual spiritual energy fluctuation here, indicating that the explosion wasn't caused by any cultivator's technique; it was more likely...
Some kind of incredibly powerful magical artifact!
For example, things like "damaging precious jade".
With the recent intense fighting, the Eastern Frontier Alliance has also brought out some very ancient treasures to use. They have a small number of "Destruction Jade" in their possession. The quality is not high, but the killing range is quite good. The only pity is that the manufacturing method has been lost and cannot be reproduced.
But who would throw this stuff here to blast dirt for fun? It would be more meaningful to blast fish.
"Whatever happens here, it has nothing to do with the demon race, but even if we try to investigate, we probably won't get any results."
"That's what Old Liu said."
He couldn't be bothered with anything that happened here.
After all, his mission was to protect this idle and proud young woman; Old Liu didn't care about anything else.
Undeterred, Liu Yu decided to search along the Ancient Flower Mountain Range again.
result.
She actually found something unusual!
There wasn't a single demonic beast in this Ancient Flower Mountain Range!
How could this be?
Logically, the explosion might have frightened the monsters, but it certainly wouldn't have scared them all away. There's only one possibility: the monsters in these mountains are already gone...
then.
She also naturally discovered the still bubbling blood pool in the mountains, as well as the "array nodes" surrounded by a large number of discontented monster corpses.
Now, even Old Liu got nervous.
Beside the pool of blood, Liu Yu and Old Liu looked at the red-robed corpse that had been dead for at least ten days, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.
"These are cultivators from the Blood Soul Holy Sect!"
Old Liu, after all, was a man of the world, and he instantly recognized the sect insignia on the corpse. His expression turned solemn: "How come these bastards from the Western Regions are here?"
Looking at the blood pool again, his expression turned even more grim.
"Blood Soul Holy Sect?"
Liu Yu was somewhat puzzled. She knew about this power, but very little; she had only heard snippets of information about it.
"Holy Maiden, you may not know this, but the Blood Soul Holy Sect is a transcendent power on par with the Thousand Sound Valley. Located in the Western Regions, they operate with great secrecy and eccentricity, making them quite an anomaly!"
Why do you harbor such deep resentment towards this sect?
Old Liu's tone was very unfriendly, and Liu Yu quickly asked why. So Old Liu told her the origin of the Blood Soul Holy Sect.
“Holy Maiden, thousands of years ago there was a great war against evil. Have you heard of it?”
"I know a little."
Liu Yu knew some of the past events of the "Great War Against Evil," but not much.
She wasn't born in that era, after all, and the ancient records didn't want to elaborate on it. After all, this "war to exterminate evil" was essentially a joint effort between the "righteous forces" of humanity and the great lord of the demon race to wipe out the "evil cultivation alliance," which was also made up of humans! It doesn't sound very pleasant, does it?
Not to mention that the relationship between the demon race and humans has always been poor, and now they are engaged in a series of direct wars.
"The Blood Soul Holy Sect was once a member of that 'Evil Cultivator Alliance'!"
At five or six hundred years old, Old Liu wasn't particularly old for a cultivator at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. But he must have had a relative who had witnessed much during that great battle and survived, and thus told this descendant about it.
"My father told me that the Blood Soul Holy Sect was originally intended to be annihilated, but somehow they reached some kind of agreement and betrayed us on the most crucial day of the war against evil!"
"They stirred up trouble behind the back of the evil cultivator alliance, but because of this, they were deemed 'meritorious' and were not wiped out."
Old Liu slowly recounted the past, and Liu Yu listened intently.
"But my father said, 'A leopard can't change its spots.' Those evil cultivators are used to following crooked paths and heretical ways; keeping them around will only bring trouble. If the Blood Soul Holy Sect isn't destroyed, the Great War to Exterminate Evil will only leave behind the seeds of disaster..."
Liu Yu was naturally aware of the dangers of heretical cultivation.
Although the evil cultivator alliance was destroyed, small groups of evil cultivators continued to appear in various places. They were doing things like blood sacrifices to mortals and setting up formations to seize the power of evil and heretical paths. This blood pool in front of us doesn't look like a good thing at all!
“Holy Maiden, this blood pool, and the place where the corpses of those demonic beasts we just saw piled up around the mountains, are probably the ‘eye’ and ‘node’ of a large formation!”
"Old Liu said in a deep voice."
Without a doubt, this pool of blood must be destroyed.
Although the Blood Soul Holy Sect has changed its allegiance and survived to this day, it was originally a member of the Evil Cultivation Alliance. Is it possible to expect them to walk the righteous path and stop practicing evil magic in the future?
Whatever they're planning here.
This will definitely not benefit the Eastern Frontier in the slightest! "And this guy... his cultivation at the Tribulation Transcending stage, although not as strong as mine, but seeing how cleanly and efficiently he died, I wonder which expert did it."
What shocked Old Liu even more was the red-robed corpse.
This person's cultivation level was quite high, but even someone as strong as him died here.
"...Could it be that someone killed these cultivators and then detonated some treasure to alert the Eastern Frontier Alliance?"
The idea suddenly popped into Liu Yu's mind, so she blurted it out.
Thinking this way is indeed logically consistent.
But why go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be simpler to just notify the Eastern Frontier Alliance that something had happened? Why make it so complicated? It's quite intriguing.
Moreover, Liu Yu examined the only wound on the corpse; it was a penetrating wound caused by an arrow, which had directly destroyed his heart meridian. The skill with which he wielded the bow and arrow was so sharp and clean, truly befitting an extraordinary individual.
"Old Liu, take this guy with you and go back to report."
"As for the array formation in this place, let the masters of array formations in the alliance take a look and see what its purpose is..."
Liu Yu pondered.
She felt that if she could destroy the Blood Soul Holy Sect's grand formation, she might be able to resolve the current crisis and prevent the evil forces from growing again.
However, she doesn't understand formations, and Elder Liu is more experienced, so it's better for Elder Liu to make the decision.
"Since the Holy Maiden has given the order, this old man will make the arrangements accordingly."
Old Liu agreed.
They had only come here to assess the situation, but the formation before them was clearly beyond their capabilities. None of them were proficient in formations; brute force might be an option, but the risks were obviously unknown.
Why don't we go back and call for reinforcements?
This red-robed corpse is the evidence!
The Blood Soul Holy Sect is untrustworthy, but it is clear that thousands of years have passed, and their backstabbing behavior back then seems to have actually earned them the recognition of certain forces.
But many cultivators don't think that way.
If they can be slaves to two masters, then why do you think the Blood Soul Holy Sect can't be slaves to three masters?
Betrayal either happens zero times or countless times.
