Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#1536 - News from an old friend
Seeing their expressions, Jun Wu Xie knew that this was no small matter.
"What on earth could be troubling them so much that they can't resolve it?"
He felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
"It's news about the people Lord Jun knew in the lower realm."
An Ning took out several letters from her bosom. These letters were very primitive; even in the mortal world, very few people would use such an outdated way of writing letters.
There were several envelopes made of ordinary paper. The mouths of the envelopes had sealing wax, but the wax had already been removed, leaving only slight imprints.
Clearly, An Ning and the others had already opened and read the contents of the letters, otherwise they wouldn't have known that they contained news about his old friends.
Jun Wu Xie took the letters, and holding them in his hand gave him a sense of being separated from the world.
He had come into contact with such letters when he was in the lower realm, and at that time he could only be considered to have just begun his cultivation journey, still in the Xiao family of Qingyang City.
This kind of communication method was very common in the mortal world of the lower realm in the past, but since the popularity of rune communication devices, no one has used it anymore.
Although the upper realm doesn't have rune communication devices, it does have simple rune papers made by cultivators, which are specifically designed to provide convenience to the mortal world, so they are sold very cheaply.
Those rune papers only require the use of very low-level, readily available materials, and can be mass-produced in large quantities without consuming any energy.
If mortals were still using this kind of letter to transmit information, it would be understandable, but his old friends were all cultivators above the Saint Realm.
Having been in the upper realm for more than ten years, their realm must be more than just the Saint Realm. In this environment of a great era, even the slowest should be at least the Great Saint Realm.
Jun Wu Xie took out the letters and read them one by one. His calm expression made it impossible for the women to see what he was thinking.
After he had finished reading all the letters, he walked into Linglong's courtyard and sat down at the jade table under the tree.
The women followed and sat around him, all quietly watching him.
"Have you sent people to investigate the situation and verify its authenticity?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at the end of each letter, where no names were left, but a fingerprint covered in blood was left.
Based on the aura of these blood fingerprints, he could determine that the blood must belong to his old friends in the lower realm.
However, whether they really wrote such letters, whether they themselves put their fingerprints on them, or whether it was something else, was hard to say.
"This humble servant had several ancient ancestors from the Golden Armor Tribe and the Thunder Summoning Tribe secretly investigate the truth, but only obtained partial information.
What is certain is that the matter of the Bone Abyss mentioned in the letter is true. The clues we found are consistent with what the people who sent the letters said and the situation in the letters.
As for the other letters from the Unlucky Province, we have not yet confirmed whether they are true.
There are strong people sitting in the Unlucky Province. The ancestors of the two tribes have not yet entered the Unlucky Province, and they sensed a powerful aura from a great distance. They were then warned by the divine thoughts of those strong people, unable to enter, and unable to use their divine thoughts to investigate."
"However…" An Ning hesitated, carefully glancing at Jun Wu Xie, and said, "Don't be angry at what this humble servant says…"
"Speak."
Jun Wu Xie didn't know why she would have such worries. What had she done that made her think he might be angry?
"It's just… this humble servant had people use soul-searching techniques on the people who came to deliver the letters, to explore their sea of consciousness memories. But don't worry, it didn't cause any harm to their souls. Afterwards, they were given a large amount of Saint Spirit Pills, and people were sent to safely return them to their hometowns."
She stated that, except for the people who brought letters from the Bone Abyss who were in the Saint Realm, all the others were below the Saint Realm. Their realms were very low, some were only in the Acquired Realm, and could almost be considered mortals.
"These people, equivalent to mortals, actually have such courage to dare to cross such a long distance to deliver letters. Do they know about the soul-searching?"
"They don't know, we did it secretly."
Jun Wu Xie nodded upon hearing this, and then didn't continue the topic of soul-searching.
It was good that they didn't know, otherwise wouldn't it chill people's hearts?
Thinking about it, people with such low realms dared to come all the way from such a distant place to the Eastern Territory, Azure Province, to deliver letters. This courage and determination was commendable, and even braver than cultivators in the Saint Realm.
The Unlucky Province was very far away even for people in the Saint Realm. It was not located in the five territories of the southeast, northwest, and center, but outside the five territories, a very barren place.
Of course, saying it was barren was only in comparison to the resources of the areas occupied by the major forces in the upper realm.
No matter how barren the Unlucky Province was, the resources there were still much better than those of the previous Azure Province. It was just that the environment was relatively harsh, with frozen soil and sandy soil everywhere, very little vegetation, and the climate was either bitterly cold or scorching hot.
The cultivation resources of the Unlucky Province came from the exploitation of underground resources by the people there, such as minerals, Earth Saint Springs, and fossils of various Saint Realm creatures formed in ancient times, etc.
This could be regarded as another channel for the cultivators there to obtain resources in a situation where surface resources were scarce, the environment was harsh, and the vitality of the world was depleted.
"In recent years, our Dawn Dynasty has been thriving and its reputation has been blazing. The news has long spread throughout the entire Canglan Ancient Star. Lord Jun's old friends must have learned of this and tried every means to send letters here.
First, they must not be convenient to come forward themselves, perhaps guarding against other major forces, or perhaps the Unlucky Province side has strict restrictions on them.
In that case, it is already extremely difficult to find a means of transportation that can allow people below the Saint Realm to cross several realms to come here.
But we dare not act rashly. First, there are strong people sitting in the Unlucky Province, suspected of being in the Mixed Origin Saint Realm or above; second, we are worried that the strong people of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall are spying in the dark. Even if we take them out, once they leave the Unlucky Province, I am afraid they will be hunted down by the strong people of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall."
At this time, Xu Yan Ning said, "According to the situation, those old friends in the Unlucky Province should not be in danger of life for the time being, but the people who were forced to hide in the Bone Abyss are different.
After we received the letters, we investigated the matter of the Bone Abyss from all aspects. The Bone Abyss is located in the southernmost area of the Central Territory, and it is a very terrible and terrifying secret land.
It is said that a terrible thing happened there, countless cultivators died, bones piled up, and the resentment and baleful aura soared into the sky. If people enter it, even the strong ones of the Eternal Saint Realm will have their souls affected. If they stay in it for a long time, they will become mentally deranged, eroded by the baleful aura, and become bloodthirsty madmen!
Those old friends who were forced into it have been there for a not short period of time, I am afraid they have already…"
Speaking of this, Xu Yan Ning sighed heavily.
These days, she often recalled the familiar faces during her growth experience in the lower realm in those years.
Having personally experienced the doomsday torrent, she valued the life and death of her old friends very much. This feeling and mood cannot be understood by people who have not experienced the doomsday torrent.
Those people were all comrades who once fought side by side against the darkness, people who could entrust each other with their lives. Everyone was a hero of the era, whether male or female, everyone was an upright person!
"The letter did not write who forced them into the Bone Abyss, only mentioning that their identity was exposed because of an unexpected familiar person. I think it's because they don't want us to confront them again. But since someone dares to touch our old friends in the lower realm, this debt must be settled. Have you found out which forces are involved?"
"We were also very surprised at the time, wondering who the familiar person they mentioned in the letter was, but they didn't say the name. Later, we found out that the person was from the King Human Clan of the Western Territory.
There are two strongest forces in the Western Territory, one is the King Human Clan, and the other is Little Spirit Mountain. These two forces are no small matter. They are ostensibly the dominant forces, but they can survive every doomsday torrent.
After the doomsday torrent, many eternal forces in the starry sky came to Canglan Ancient Star to plunder, but these two seemingly dominant forces were able to remain unscathed and were never plundered.
Therefore, they are unfathomable, and even eternal forces are unwilling to confront them head-on.
Whether it is the King Human Clan or Little Spirit Mountain, they are extremely mysterious. Little Spirit Mountain also has several affiliated forces, one of which is called the Demon Subduing Temple, and even the Demon Subduing Temple is at the dominant level.
Speaking of the King Human Clan, combined with the familiar person mentioned in the letter, Lord Jun, have you thought of anything?"
Xu Yan Ning had already made some guesses in her heart, because it was easy for her to associate it with one person.
"Xiao Renwang!"
Jun Wu Xie's eyes were indifferent. In the past, because the doomsday torrent came too quickly and suddenly, he had too many things to do before that, so he didn't have time to find Xiao Renwang and get rid of him.
Xiao Renwang was very mysterious and was a reincarnated person.
To be able to reincarnate, one must not be a half-sage from the lower realm. At the very least, they must be a strong person above the Supreme Saint Realm in the upper realm to have a very small chance of success.
Therefore, he speculated that if Xiao Renwang's previous life was a person from the upper realm, then he should be a strong person in the Mixed Origin Saint Realm, or even the Eternal Saint Realm.
The person that their old friends were all familiar with, and who came from the King Human Clan in the upper realm, and the King Human Clan must have the bloodline of the King Human, then there would be no one else. It could almost be locked on Xiao Renwang!
A cold light flashed in Jun Wu Xie's deep eyes, "This person is sinister, vicious, scheming, resourceful, and good at using strategies. He always hides in the dark and calculates. He is a very dangerous person.
However, now that I know where his lair is, it turns out he is a member of the King Human Clan. Now, rescuing people from the Bone Abyss is the most important thing. I will find a time to settle the score with him in the future.
So, is it Xiao Renwang who led the people from the King Human Clan of the Western Territory to chase and kill them, forcing them into the Bone Abyss?"
"No, the King Human Clan only has Xiao Renwang and a few strong people in the Saint Ancestor Realm. According to the news we found, their initial pursuit failed. Later, I don't know how they persuaded the Ancient Clan to participate.
The Ancient Clan sent a large number of strong people, with the Supreme Saint Realm leading the team. Only then did they make them have nowhere to escape, and they had no choice but to enter the Bone Abyss to avoid disaster."
"Ancient Clan?"
Jun Wuxie recalled that back in the Remains of the Outer Heavens, he had fought with Ling Qingyu for the Chaotic Sacred Heart. Weren't those divine beasts who later pursued and tried to kill him, only to be completely annihilated, from the ancient clans?
“Yes, the ancient clans are the strongest force in the Central State besides the Heavenly Dao Academy. Although they are nominally a dominant power, their foundation is deep, and in reality, they are far from being a match for ordinary dominant forces, similar to the Human King Clan and Little Spirit Mountain.
Moreover, because the ancient clans are a force composed of various tribal alliances, their scale is extremely vast. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to occupy such a vast and rich area in the Central State, which also has the Heavenly Dao Academy, and enjoy all the high-quality resources.”
“Junior Brother, this matter needs careful consideration. Now that you understand the general situation, both the Human King Clan and the ancient clans are behemoths.
Although our dynasty is developing rapidly now, it lacks foundation and experts above the Eternal Realm. It is not advisable to collide with them head-on.
Moreover, there are still the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall and the Fallen Red Dust lurking in the dark, watching us like tigers stalking their prey.
With so many super forces, I'm afraid even the Heavenly Dao Academy would have difficulty deterring them. Once things become uncontrollable, the consequences could be very serious.
According to the current information, the letter from the Unlucky State should be real, but the situation at the Bone Abyss is different.
Although we didn't find anything unusual during the soul search, for people with profound realms, a little trickery can deceive the messenger. What he saw was only what the schemer wanted him to see, forming memories in his mind, so what we see is also not the truth.
Don't blame Senior Sister for overthinking. Senior Sister feels that a net has been set up in front of the Bone Abyss, waiting for you to jump in.
Since your enemies from the Lower Realm are involved, they must know you very well. Their primary target will definitely not be your old friends.
Although your old friends are all geniuses with outstanding talents, they cannot pose a threat to that person from the Human King Clan.
Therefore, he doesn't need to make a big fuss and go to great lengths to kill them all.
His real target must be you!”
“My Lord, Concubine, Yan Ning, and Yun Shu all think so. Besides, the Bone Abyss is such a terrifying place that the hope of surviving once you enter is extremely small.
Although we really hope they are still alive, the chances are very slim.
It has been half a year since we received the news. If they can really survive for so long, it means they must have treasures that can resist the harsh environment inside.
If that's the case, then you don't need to worry.
Therefore, we think you should put this matter aside for now, seize the time to improve your strength, and go to the Bone Abyss when you are strong enough. Even if they have set up a net, you can use your powerful strength to defeat it.”
An Ning persuaded, feeling very worried.
Whether it was based on an objective analysis of the situation or out of selfishness, she didn't want him to go to the Bone Abyss.
It was already very obvious that Xiao Renwang and the ancient clans had set up a trap in front of the Bone Abyss, waiting for him to jump in.
Even Yan Ning thought so. Although she was very worried about her old friends in the Lower Realm, she also didn't want Jun Wuxie to take risks based on the actual situation.
Jun Wuxie was silent for a moment, then said: “If I hadn't asked Jing Ya to send them to the Upper Realm in advance back then, they wouldn't have had to live in hiding all these years, living so hard, and being worried all the time.
Now that I know they are in danger, how can I ignore them? Moreover, this matter is within my ability. No matter what, I have to go to the Bone Abyss, to see them alive or dead!”
Jun Wuxie felt regret in his heart. Among the old friends from the Lower Realm, he already knew that someone had fallen many years ago. That genius named Zhou Lin was his once loyal follower.
Zhou Lin died under the pursuit of the Seven Killing Tower!
Seven Killing Tower, in recent years, he has been busy with other things, so he put this matter aside. I don’t know if the current Seven Killing Tower has already hidden, but Yan Ning has been in the dynasty these years, she will definitely not ignore this matter, so he is not worried. Even if it is hidden, where it is hiding must be under the control of the dynasty's intelligence. Now, all the old things have come to an end, and the new things have not yet begun, it's time to settle the score!
“Junior Brother, do you really want to go to a place where two forces no weaker than the Eternal level have set up a trap?”
Linglong's beautiful eyes were filled with unconcealable worry. She was really worried and afraid that something might happen to him. What would happen to them and the dynasty?
