Chapter 49: The Truth of Famine, the End of Life (1)
“Didn’t Qilin Fei defeat Zhang Feiyu in the Battle of Changshan? Could it be…”
Su Mu’s brows twitched as he already had a guess in his heart.
“Your guess is correct. It was too easy for a powerful dynasty to erase a person’s traces. Even if she had the power to intimidate Jiuzhou Blood Sea!”
“The so-called Qilin Flying General is just an adjutant under the Valkyrie Bai Zhi.”
“After that battle, this divine general who had made great contributions and killed so many people that the land of the Nine Prefectures trembled suddenly disappeared!”
I have always been curious about what happened to Bai Zhi.”
“It wasn’t until the bronze beast coffin was opened that I obtained the answer.”
Zishan Daoist looked a little melancholic.
He could tell that he had a good impression of this Scarlet Blood Valkyrie, and even worshipped her.
Such a talented person had ended up like this. It made people sigh.
Zishan Daoist didn’t even bother to investigate what Bai Zhi had encountered before she died. He could guess most of it from the terrifying resentment and murderous aura on her corpse.
Although he had accidentally learned a shocking secret, Su Mu had not forgotten their initial conversation.
“What does Bai Zhi’s corpse have to do with the Beiling King’s illness? And why did he refine her into a drought demon?”
Hearing Su Mu’s question, Zishan Daoist’s expression returned to normal and continued,
“Zombies are evil spirits. Not only do they have no blood in their bodies, but they can also absorb blood to replenish their energy.”
“However, when it evolves to the peak and becomes a drought demon, this kind of ghost will turn extreme yin into yang and produce supreme blood essence!”
“Hanba’s blood essence is a divine item, it has endless magical uses!”
“Nourish the body, strengthen the vitality, eliminate all diseases, eliminate all evils, and so on.”
“So, no matter what the Beiling King’s illness is, as long as he consumes the Hanba blood essence, he will be able to recover. It can even help him prolong his life!”
“But how can Hanba be easily refined? Before seeing Bai Zhi’s corpse, Xuan Zhenzi had never thought of this.”
“But with Bai Zhi’s corpse, it’s different!”
“She was a Martial God before her, and her body’s toughness is rarely seen in the world.”
“Moreover, after death, it accumulated a terrifying aura of resentment. It requires the bronze mutated beast coffin and a large amount of Yin Wood Soil to barely suppress it.”
“Her corpse is the best material for refining corpses!”
At this point, Zishan Daoist’s expression was a little gloomy, and his voice was filled with anger.
“But Hanba is a very ominous creature. Once he descended, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
“Not to mention that refining her requires a large amount of blood essence.”
“These are all human lives!”
“I also tried to persuade Xuan Zhenzi not to do such a thing that would harm his virtue, but he didn’t listen at all. All he could think about was climbing up the big tree of the Beiling King and strengthening the Black True Sect.”
“I have no choice. I can only pretend to be obedient on the surface and wait for an opportunity in secret to destroy Hanba.”
“It’s a pity that I still underestimated the extent of Hanba’s terror.”
“With my abilities, even when Hanba was at his weakest, I would not be able to hurt her foundation.”
Zishan Daoist was a little disappointed.
He took a huge risk to destroy Hanba the moment she took shape.
This was his only chance!
However, the moment the Four Symbols Sword Array entered, Zishan Daoist knew that his plan had failed.
Hanba was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
The Four Symbols Sword Formation could only cause some trouble for Hanba, but it was not enough to destroy him.
He didn’t dare to think about what would happen next!
Jizhou would soon be a barren land!
After hearing Zishan Daoist’s words, he combined it with the records he had read from the history books in the real world.
Su Mu had basically pieced together the truth behind the famine in Jizhou.
Even though Zishan Daoist wanted to stop it, Hanba was still born and brought a terrible famine to Jizhou!
As long as Hanba did not die, the famine would not cease!
Later on, the famine gradually improved, which meant that someone must have dealt with Hanba later on.
Otherwise, even in the real world a few decades later, Jizhou would definitely suffer from a great famine, and it would even spread to other realms!
As for Beiling King…It was recorded in the history books that he had mysteriously disappeared, but no one knew what had happened.
There was also the Heavenly Sect.
After the end of the first dungeon world, Su Mu had looked up information about this sect, but he didn’t find any useful information.
Was there any special connection between the Heavenly Sect and Hanba?
Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn’t help but think of Qing Xuzi.
This Daoist was younger than Daoist Zishan, but his cultivation wasn’t much weaker.
He was not a simple person!
After drinking the tea and finishing the matter, the two of them once again embarked on their escape journey.
They did not encounter many difficulties along the way.
Five days later, Su Mu brought Daoist Zishan to a barren mountain.
After confirming that no one was following them, the two of them entered a hidden cave.
“Brother Mu, you’re finally back!”
Just as he entered the cave, a slim and elegant young girl with bright eyes and white teeth ran out towards Su Mu. It was Liu Leqing.
Liu Leqing’s martial cultivation was too low, Su Mu couldn’t bring her along, so he could only place her in a safe place.
“How have you been recently? I brought you a little gift. See if you like it?”
Su Mu handed her the specially bought rouge and a pearl hairpin.
However, Liu Leqing, who usually liked these things the most, did not even look at them.
She stared at the block, bit her lip and asked worriedly,”
“Brother Mu, why do you look so pale? You… Are you hurt?”
Zishan’s dao art of making talismans with people had caused irreversible damage to Su Mu’s body.
To be able to live until now, it was already because of Su Mu’s tenacious vitality.
But… This was almost the limit!
Su Mu could feel that he had already reached the point where he was like a lamp that had run out of oil.
He took advantage of this last moment to rush over to see Liu Leqing one last time.
Su Mu smiled and patted Liu Leqing’s head, saying:
“You can say that I’m injured. My life is coming to an end. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.”
“You must learn to take good care of yourself in the future and live well!”
Su Mu didn’t know if the simulated world would continue without him.
However, the people in this simulated world were all extremely lively.
After a few reincarnations, Su Mu could no longer live his life in the simulated world with the mentality of playing a game.
Therefore, when he was about to die, Su Mu’s first thought was Liu Leqing.
Hearing Su Mu’s words, Liu Leqing’s face turned pale.
Her body trembled slightly and she almost fell to the ground.
First, her father had passed away, and then the only person close to her had left her!
A young girl who was only 17 years old had experienced two major blows in just over a month. She had gone from being the apple of her eye to being alone.
How could Liu Leqing accept this?
