Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 38 Reasons
"Your true identity." Ji Chuan did not care about the reaction of the Lord of Jiuyou Palace, but just spoke calmly and hoarsely.
He stared at Qiu Shiyin's face, which still vaguely resembled a human, as if he wanted to see through something.
"Qiu Shiyin, a toad, a monster, and also, the extradition officer of the underworld." Qiu Shiyin slowly told Ji Chuan all her identities one by one.
"Actually, you've known for a long time that I'm a 'toad', right?" Looking at Ji Chuan's calm eyes, Qiu Shiyin said with a smile.
How could a white swan live with a toad? That's just a fairy tale used to fool children.
There are no white swans at all. From beginning to end , they are just a group of toads.
"The sword was born from light. Green Waist, I feel the deathly aura from you." Ji Chuan smiled.
Ji Chuan knew very early on that Qiu Shiyin was not a normal human being.
But he didn't care, and even felt heartbroken.
Ji Chuan's voice sounded a little weak due to the huge loss of blood.
Because his Nascent Soul was clamped in Qiu Shiyin's claws, he was unable to use his spiritual power to recover from his injuries.
"Yes, I am a toad ." Qiu Shiyin's voice sounded like crying, complaining and grieving.
Qiu Ning’s story is actually her story.
"You could have stopped the source demon of the maze and saved those children." Ji Chuan whispered.
The children he was talking about were the toads adopted by Qiu Shiyin.
With the power displayed by Qiu Shiyin at this moment, how could those source monsters whose minds were confused kill the children from her hands?
But in order not to reveal her identity, Qiu Shiyin just watched the source demon wreak havoc.
"Do you remember the question I asked you?" Qiu Shiyin slowly raised her head, and there was a power that penetrated people's hearts in her yellow and enchanting eyes.
"Master Shangxiu, can you save every child who is about to be abandoned?" Qiu Shiyin murmured and repeated the question.
"No, you can't. So, what's the point of me saving those hundred children?" Qiu Shiyin's voice was extremely calm.
"Over the past thousand years, do you know how many toads have died on this land shortly after they were born?
This land was not originally suitable for human survival, but greed made the human race stay.
With the huge benefits of the Yuanshilan mine in front of us, who can give it up?
"No one can do that, including you from the Sword Sect." Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became sharp as she asked and answered herself.
"We in the Sword Sect have never known about the toad." Ji Chuan's voice was soft, his eyes were silent in the shadows, and his specific emotions could not be discerned.
"Yeah, as a great Taoist master, how could he care about these mortals?" Qiu Shiyin chuckled, "So, I have to solve this problem myself."
Qiu Shiyin's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Yuan Yaozi, who was sitting powerlessly on the ground with blood all over his face.
"Lord Shangxiu, do you know his identity?" Qiu Shiyin suddenly smiled and asked.
Seeing Ji Chuan remained silent, Qiu Shiyin started talking to herself, "He is Yuan Yaozi, the only bloodline of Yuan Yao King. He was born with the Yellow Spring Death Vein and can absorb countless vitality.
Thirty years ago, in order to give birth to the Yuan Yaozi, the Yuan Yaozi devoured all the vitality of the Yuan Yao Queen and she died tragically.
The furious Source Demon King therefore launched a massacre in the source land to vent his anger.
From then on, Yuan Yaozi became the Achilles' heel of Yuan Yaowang.
Even if you are a disciple of the Sword Sect, if you kill Yuan Yaozi, Yuan Yaowang will launch endless revenge on your Sword Sect until your death.
The Source Demon King chose Qiu Ning as the protector of Yuan Yaozi because Qiu Ning's mind has remained at the level of a four or five-year-old and he would not have any ulterior motives.
It was also because of Qiu Ning's protection that the Source Demon King dared to go into seclusion with peace of mind, and the Source Demon Zi dared to leave the source.
But they don’t know that Qiu Ning listens to me.
As long as I give the order, he will allow you to attack Yuan Yaozi.
This was the original plan of the Lord of Jiuyou Palace. He wanted me to stop Qiu Ning, and then let you, the disciples of the Sword Sect, kill Yuan Yaozi with your own hands.
Once you kill Yuan Yaozi, Yuan Yaowang will become an irreconcilable enemy of your Sword Sect.
You should know how terrible it would be for an eighth-rank demon king to hide in the dark at all costs just to take revenge on your Sword Sect, right?"
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. When the Source Demon King, who has no worries, sets his sights on the Sword Sect, as long as he hides in the dark and waits for an opportunity to attack the Sword Sect disciples who have left the sect, he will cause the Sword Sect a huge headache.
Once successful, it would mean that the Lord of Jiuyou Palace has found an eighth-grade helper for the underworld to target the Dao Sect of the human race.
Qiu Shiyin said softly, "I don't care about the fight between your Sword Sect and the Underworld. I only know that when the Source Demon King is desperate to retaliate against your Sword Sect, given your Sword Sect's temper, you will definitely clear out the Source Land to serve as a warning to others. The Source Demon King can use the Yellow Spring Death Qi in the Source Land to become almost immortal, and even use the Nine Netherworld Geomancy Map to hide in the Yellow Spring. In order to kill the Source Demon King, your Sword Sect must also close the crack leading to the Yellow Spring Realm. Once the Source Demon dies, the space crack is closed, and the Yellow Spring Death Qi will naturally dissipate. This is the only way I can think of to save every toad."
As she spoke, Qiu Shiyin glanced at the Lord of Jiuyou Palace, "Lord, this is also the reason why I joined your underworld. How could I be willing to associate with a bunch of scum like you who betrayed the human race? It's just that although you are targeting the Sword Sect, I am... but it just happens that we have the same goal..."
Qiu Shiyin turned her gaze back to Ji Chuan's face, which was gradually turning pale due to blood loss, and apologized softly, "Although I know that the Source Demon King values the Source Demon Child very much, I dare not guarantee that he will definitely fight against the giant Jianzong for the sake of the Source Demon Child. But I know that if the Jianzong knew that their chief disciple Ji Chuan died at the hands of the Source Demon, given the temperament of the Jianzong, they would definitely not let the Source Demon go. It's a double insurance, so..."
Qiu Shiyin's claws exerted a little force, and the rich death energy in the claws had already slightly penetrated into Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul, "Master Shang Xiu, I'm sorry."
Not only did she want Ji Chuan to kill Yuan Yaozi and arouse the wrath of Yuan Yaowang, she also wanted to kill Ji Chuan to provoke the wrath of Jianzong.
…
The Jiuyou Palace Master's gaze was obscure and difficult to understand.
He thought he had planned everything, but he didn't know that it was all part of Qiu Shiyin's plan.
"You calculated everything," Lu Qingshan, who had been watching everything, walked forward slowly, looked at Qiu Shiyin, and suddenly said, "You only miscalculated one thing."
Qiu Shiyin, who was about to destroy Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul in one fell swoop, paused and was slightly stunned.
"Brother Ji Chuan not only knew that you were a toad a long time ago, but in fact, when he attacked Yuan Yaozi , he already knew Yuan Yaozi's true identity."
Lu Qingshan said softly: "So, Brother, who knew the identity of Yuan Yaozi but still chose to attack him, is just like what he said. It's not that the Sword Sect cannot give up the interests of the Yuan Shilan Mine for the sake of mortals, but the Sword Sect has never known about the Toad."
Qiu Shiyin's cold pupils suddenly dilated and she said speechlessly, "This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. Do you think that since the Lord of Jiuyou Palace deliberately avoided the title of Yuan Yaozi, we can't guess his origins?"
Lu Qingshan's voice was like a low hum, chiseling every word into Qiu Shiyin's heart, "In the source land, the four great demon kings lead the demons. The source demon son is at the fourth level, but he can command so many source demons. In addition, there are fifth-level peak source demons as guards. The Lord of Jiuyou Palace has to call him sir. We can't think of any other possibility except that he is the son of the source demon king."
"I immediately told my senior brother that Yuan Yaozi is most likely the son of Yuan Yaowang. If he is killed, it will cause a huge conflict between Yuan Yaowang and Jianzong."
"But Senior Brother did not hesitate at all. He risked his life without hesitation and attacked Yuan Yaozi."
"The reason why you think that the Sword Sect will disregard the existence of mortals for the benefit of the Source Stone Orchid Mine," Lu Qingshan sighed, "is simply because you don't understand sword cultivation."
"Why are you unwilling to give Jianzong a chance and see how Jianzong performs?" Lu Qingshan asked.
