Chapter 2269 Historical Materials and Current Situation
However, given the current rate of consumption, the gold core's energy supply may not last another twenty days, even if Cangyan Kingdom does not continue to increase the amount of excavation work.
The efficiency with which Cang Yan orchestrated the operation surprised the Qixia Sect.
The problem facing Master Yuan is very real:
What to do next?
Although Wei'an City must be suffering from a water shortage for more than twenty days, it seems that Cang Yan can help it get through it; looking at it this way, it seems that Qixia Sect doesn't have as many bargaining chips as it used to.
Could it be that we really need to make peace with Cang Yan?
……
The Illusion Sect has a special method of communication, and now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, many immortal techniques can be put to use again.
Liu Qingdao soon received a reply from the Jucheng Sutra Repository:
According to the oral account of Qianhuan Zhenren, a cannibal did indeed appear from the end of the war between immortals and demons until the early Middle Ages.
This was the first and only time that cannibals appeared on the historical stage, leaving a significant mark on history.
At that time, in the Takizawa Plain, which is in the southwest of present-day Beka, there was a city with a population of nearly 400,000. Taking advantage of its advantageous location, it developed into a very prosperous city. Even in an era rich in spiritual energy, it was no small city.
Because several sects and families live in this city, not only the descendants of immortal masters also multiply here, but legend has it that dragon eggs also exist in the city. Therefore, the city walls are built very thickly, and the external magic arrays are also very complete.
However, one day, a sadist suddenly appeared.
The city's thick walls and magic arrays were completely useless, because this disaster broke out directly from inside the city!
The cannibal and its eight limbs secretly killed dozens of people in the city to replenish their strength. By the time the city realized something was wrong, the power of the Jindu demon had increased, and it began a large-scale massacre.
Although they were born of the same mother, the combined strength and man-eating efficiency of the eight Jindu demon cubs couldn't even compare to a fraction of the sadistic cannibals.
In just two days, the three to four hundred thousand people in the city were devoured by the Jindu devils, with only a few thousand escaping the city.
More than 90% of the living creatures here are eaten by sadists.
Upon hearing the news, several major immortal sects rushed to subdue the demon, but it was too late. More than a dozen immortals were no match for it, and it even killed six or seven of them.
At that time, no one knew that it had a special talent: the more people it ate in the first ten days after its birth, the stronger it became; the stronger the prey it ate, the more its strength would increase.
After the cannibal devoured these immortals, its ferocity intensified, but it also injured itself. It then went on to attack other cities to continue eating people.
It caused great panic both among the immortal sects and among ordinary people.
Finally, it was only with the intervention of a true immortal and the support of a host of other immortals that this scourge was truly vanquished!
However, these immortal sects had already suffered severe damage in the ancient war and had not yet recovered their strength. They were then betrayed by the sadists, resulting in the death or serious injury of several immortals. They could not continue and soon declined until they disappeared.
The Immortal Sect that was in charge was Yuanshan.
The Qixia Sect of today is a branch of the former Yuanshan Sect.
Upon hearing this, Dong Rui suddenly realized:
"It turns out that the sadistic predator recorded in history was destroyed by Yuanshan. This is not surprising. Qixia Sect inherited Yuanshan's mantle and may also have inherited the spoils from the sadistic predator."
Looking at the two pieces of broken glass on the table, He Lingchuan blurted out:
"Brain core!"
"Huh?" Dong Rui didn't hear clearly. "What did you say?"
"This is the brain core of a sadist! Just like the inner core of a monster." No wonder this thing looked familiar; He Lingchuan also had one in the Panlong World.
The Heavenly Demon once sent the Jindu Ghost Child to Panlong City. After General Hong killed the sadist in the mine, he dug out its brain core and gave it to He Lingchuan as a reward.
The reason he didn't immediately recognize the two fragments was because they were different colors and vastly different sizes.
But after reading the history of sadists, he found the uneven texture on the fragments increasingly familiar.
Isn't this just the folds of the brain?
“This predator, which was personally destroyed by the True Immortal of Yuanshan, was exceptionally powerful. Only a mountain based on it could block the waters of the Ice River, and no matter how much was dug out, it would grow back in the same amount. Moreover, it possessed sufficient supernatural powers and the ability to protect itself.” He Lingchuan pondered, “However, its power must also have its limits.”
"The Qixia Sect has already obtained over a thousand catties of Xuanjing through the Heavenly Centipede," Liu Qingdao whispered, reminding them, "If we use it to power this sadist's brain core..."
“It’s all about time.” He Lingchuan squinted. “Qixia Sect is very confident. They believe that the drought in Weian City is more severe, with a million people about to run out of water. They think we will compromise first.”
Dong Rui reached out and ruffled the broken pieces on the table: "Have you come up with a solution yet?"
"Either speed up the attack on the underground brain core, or find the entrance to the Qixia Sect's cave. Or, we can do both." Before Dong Rui arrived, He Lingchuan was discussing this matter with Liu Qingdao. "Elder Liu believes that the Qixia Sect's secluded cave is a small world, not a trap set up on Xunyang Mountain. If they remain hidden, no one will be able to find them unless we find the entrance."
Liu Qingdao nodded.
During periods of spiritual scarcity, most immortal sects and great demons choose to lie dormant in enclosed spaces to prevent the precious spiritual energy from dissipating. Furthermore, once the entrance/gate is closed, enemies cannot find or enter, such as the Upside-Down Sea.
If Qixia Sect doesn't want to confront Cang Yan head-on, it can simply play the coward and watch Wei'an City sink into dire straits.
This is a form of coercion, but the degree of leverage is well-managed.
It appears to be a bloodless conflict, but in reality it endangers the lives of millions; it is insidious and vicious.
“What a clever tactic. We’ve dealt with so many newly emerged demon immortals, but the Qixia Sect is somewhat different,” Liu Qingdao said in a low voice. “However, when I spoke with Sect Leader Yuan earlier, he was still extremely arrogant, just like he was over a hundred years ago.”
Just then, a guard rushed in from outside, knelt on one knee, and held a long arrow above his head:
"Report! An arrow has been fired from outside and has embedded itself in a large tree in the forest."
Liu Qingdao took it and casually asked, "Where's the archer?"
"Commander Weng has already led men to pursue them."
A letter was attached to the arrow, and Liu Qingdao, unconcerned that the note might be poisoned, unfolded it casually.
A token slipped from the note and he caught it in his hand.
Upon seeing this, he raised an eyebrow, quickly walked back, and handed over the note:
"Your Majesty, please look!"
He Lingchuan glanced at it and saw only a few lines on the letter:
"Elder Xu Wenqin of the Qixia Sect led his disciples to infiltrate Weian City to gather information, and they are currently staying at the Yuefu Inn on Xiaozouma Road in the south of the city."
“Xu Wenqin?” He Lingchuan stroked his chin. “Tianwu has admitted that Elder Xu of Qixia Sect is indeed that name.”
