I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 639. Xia Feng's Background, Treasure Concepts and Attributes

"Was the First Emperor awake the whole time?"

"...It seems you know more than I thought." Sachan composed himself. "Actually, he wasn't awake... No one can truly be certain of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's condition, but all I know is that the sect wants to return the candle to its rightful place, and what will happen after that..."

"what happened?"

"I don't know... I don't have that many permissions anymore..."

"..."

Yu Cang fell silent for a moment.

Within the Desolate Sect, the Grand Preceptor Sajue should undoubtedly hold a high position, but it seems that his child does not have the status one might expect.

Yu Cang was not worried that Sa Chan would lie. After being tortured repeatedly, Sa Chan's mental state was on the verge of collapse. At this time, he could not exert his control as the protector of the country, and his mental state was completely exposed to everyone's eyes.

Beings like the weeping woman, who can directly perceive emotions, can be used to accurately identify whether someone is lying.

It seems that this is all the questions I can get.

Yu Cang stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Hmm... it feels like something has been forgotten.

He got up and paced back and forth in the room, his mind racing with thoughts.

He had a gut feeling that he might have overlooked a very important piece of information.

What is...

Seeing him like this, no one else in the room spoke to disturb Yu Cang.

On the ground, Sachan's body was still trembling. The mental anguish made him close his eyes and unable to relax his body.

He struggled to speak, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of relief:
"Gulp...kill me..."

The current Sachan has nothing left.

His younger brother, Salang, was killed, and his father, Sajue, was dead; his family was completely shattered. And the only one left, Sari… well, judging from Yu Cang's expression, he might have already forgotten him. But he knew in his heart that even if Yu Cang forgot, after he left, the crazed hunters would capture and kill this child who had lost all his support…

Faced with the power of almost the entire Longevity Tent, Sari, a young man at only level six, had absolutely no chance of resistance.

In this situation, even if Sa Chan managed to save his life from Yu Cang, he wouldn't know how to continue existing in this world.

He had lost all hope and purpose in living.

Moreover, Yu Cang probably won't let him go—the things he did for Sa Jue are enough for Yu Cang to kill him countless times.

Therefore, he has accepted his inevitable death.

If it weren't for Mara using his authority to control him, he would have committed suicide long ago.

Upon hearing this, Yu Cang paused in his steps.

He frowned slightly, turned his head, and was about to say something when he saw Gu Jieshuang standing to the side.

For a moment, he was stunned, and information flashed through his mind. He finally realized what information he had overlooked...

Zulong Snow Mountain!

Thinking of this, he quickly walked up to Sachan and asked, "Were those forbidden card masters who summoned the evil dragon at Zulong Snow Mountain your people?"

"……Yes."

What are they trying to do?

"I don't know either, that was someone else's responsibility..."

"..."

Although Sa Chan's words were vague, Yu Cang had already obtained the answer he most wanted.

The evil dragon of Zulong Snow Mountain was the first forbidden card that Yu Cang came into contact with, and he still remembered the legends about it very clearly.

Legend has it that three thousand years ago, there was a national-level card maker named Lü Chunqiu. He spent half his life in business and became incredibly wealthy. He even raised dragons in the snowy mountains.

Lu Chunqiu is a national-level card maker. Because he wanted to create a mythical-level soul card, he stole the bloodline of the Qin royal family and attempted to use it as fuel to create a mythical-level forbidden card!

Finally, the First Emperor naturally saw through his scheme, and after he broke through the myth, he ordered Lü Chunqiu's death on the First Emperor Snow Mountain.

As for that evil dragon, it has also been passed down and is hidden in the Ancestral Dragon Snow Mountain!
It's unclear what kind of sinister methods that evil dragon used to evade the association's investigation, but it was discovered by a group of forbidden card masters.

They attacked the defenses of Zulong Snow Mountain, stole the evil dragon, and flew towards the Dragon Burial Pit.

At that time, Yu Cang summoned Ye Lai for the first time. Taking advantage of the fact that the evil dragon had just appeared and was still weak, he severely injured the evil dragon. After informing the association of this news, he stopped paying attention to it.

That evil dragon wasn't really a threatening target. Thousands of years ago, the forbidden card was never successfully crafted, and its power wouldn't exceed that of a Transcendent Being, or even be lower.

Although Lü Chunqiu's goal is a Mythic-level banned card, how easy is it for a banned card to break through to Mythic level? Even if the Ancestral Dragon Emperor did not stop Lü Chunqiu, he might not have succeeded.

Thousands of years later, the evil dragon was severely weakened, not to mention that it had been seriously slashed by Ye Lai when it was first born. Such an injury could have triggered a personality disorder in a forbidden card.

Therefore, neither Yu Cang nor the association took it too seriously.

Now, after Sachan admitted that the Ancestral Dragon Snow Mountain incident was also caused by the Desolate Sect, Yu Cang suddenly realized something—the material used to create the Evil Dragon was the bloodline of the Qin royal family!
Having experienced a series of events related to bloodlines, including the Bloodline Empire, the Heavenly Gate, and the Longevity Tent, Yu Cang now knew what kind of evil power existed within this bloodline.

So, is it possible that the Desolate Cult went to great lengths to awaken and take away the evil dragon in order to use its bloodline power to control the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, who was sleeping deep in the True Dragon's Dead Land?

If the First Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom were still a myth, doing this would undoubtedly be wishful thinking. However, the current First Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is merely a half-dead being, whose life may not even be considered real. Under these circumstances, it is really hard to say!

It was not hard to see from the Tianmen incident that there was a connection between the Desolate Sect and the Bloodline Empire. They may have already obtained the method of manipulating bloodlines from Yaoqi and Jieting at that time, and were just waiting to use it on the Ancestral Dragon Emperor!
Upon realizing this, Yu Cang felt a chill run down his spine.

He had a hunch that this guess was pretty much right!

But, not bad.

Yu Cang breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew that shortly after Ren Zheng accepted the candle, his parents disappeared, and at that time, Ren Zheng was in a great inner struggle.

Now that Yu Cang knows the truth, he can be sure that at that time, the Desolate Sect must have intentionally or unintentionally tried to lure Ren Zheng through various means, just like the last message his parents sent!
Fortunately, the old man kept to his duty and didn't impulsively enter the dragon's death zone.

Therefore, it seems that the real purpose of Shen Zheng giving him the two soul energy pointers at Zulong Snow Mountain was to use Yu Cang to deliver them to Ren Zheng! He wanted to use Ren Zheng's guilt to lure him out of the ancient capital!
Perhaps, during the incident with the Fire Star, when Madam Yu inexplicably handed the chess piece to me, she also had this thought in mind.

That's good, it means that the Desolate Sect believes they don't yet have the strength to confront the Yan Kingdom head-on... They don't even dare to enter the city to attack a mythical town.

Perhaps they dared not expose themselves... After all, even if they successfully controlled the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, the Desolate Sect would only have two myths.

but……

As if thinking of something again, Yu Cang's brows furrowed once more.

Not right.

If that's the case, then why did the Desolate Cult take away the evil dragon at this particular time?

If the evil dragon is necessary to control the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, then shouldn't they have prepared the evil dragon five years ago when they planned to lure Ren Zheng?

Why five years from now...? No, these are two different things!
Yu Cang quickly realized that something was wrong.

Controlling the Ancestral Dragon Emperor using the bloodline power within the Evil Dragon Forbidden Card is likely a "branch" of the elixir of immortality—ideally achievable, but not essential. The true purpose of the Desolate Cult is probably not this…

!

Oh, right, the Netherworld Heavenly Realm!
Remember when Di Chang'an saw the Ancestral Dragon Emperor in the True Dragon's Dead Land? He was seated on the dragon throne in the very center of the land. And beneath that throne, Di Chang'an sensed an extremely terrifying aura of "desolation"!

He speculated that three thousand years ago, Emperor Chang'an must have dragged the Netherworld from the sky into the ground and sealed it under the dragon throne.

The true purpose of the Desolate Cult is to unleash the power of this world, which is completely infected by the desolation, and thereby completely destroy the Yan Kingdom!

But... it sounds like this purpose has nothing to do with the return of Tong Zhong Huo... On the contrary, if the Ancestral Dragon Emperor is suppressing the Netherworld Heaven, shouldn't he try every means to weaken the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's power? Why would he want to return Tong Zhong Huo?

...There must be some other information that he overlooked!
However, one thing should be certain.

Yu Cang's gaze turned serious.

The Desolate Sect, which had been inactive for five years, suddenly took action and captured the Evil Dragon. This must mean that they have made new progress in this area. Perhaps even without relying on the Tongzhong Fire, they have a chance to release the Netherworld Heaven.

This made Yu Cang feel a sense of urgency.

He had a premonition that there was a great secret hidden in that desolate heavenly realm.

Finish up what needs to be done in the Longevity Tent as soon as possible, and then go back.

In the original plan, Di Chang'an intended to eliminate the True Dragon Death Land immediately after fighting the Desolate God. Now it seems that this decision was very wise.

The True Dragon's Dead Zone, without anyone realizing it, has become an unknown time bomb, ready to explode at any moment!
Because of Emperor Chang'an's respect for the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, the association has never conducted large-scale explorations of the True Dragon's Dead Land. This mythical and dangerous place is full of unknowns.

It is precisely for this reason that the Desolate Cult was able to secretly carry out so many schemes within it.

"...Yu Cang, kill me."

Sa Chan was unaware of Yu Cang's thoughts; he only wanted to die.

His words brought Yu Cang back to his senses.

“…Bo Xun, get rid of him.”

Mara nodded, and then, without anyone knowing what he did, Sachan's figure vanished from the room without a trace.

"Boss," Gu Jieshuang leaned closer, "have you found any clues?"

"……Roughly the same."

At this time.

Lou Yan also returned to the post station.

The moment he stepped through the door, he was finally able to completely let down his guard and reveal the expression a child his age should have.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

……

First Tent

edge
Wen Yang and the three national-level card-banning masters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Cen Zhenguo: "Just now..."

Baiyan seemed to be deep in thought: "It does seem like a divine intervention... but at that moment..."

"Is it really not my imagination?"

"...Probably not."

Several state governors fell silent.

At the moment the gods descended, they sensed countless auras of mythology.

There were spirits like the Year Spirit and Mara, there were wild gods, and there were also beings from the other side of the world, like Emperor Chang'an and his people.

Even they, as the rulers of the nation, had never seen so many myths appear at the same time.

The ghost looked shaken: "Luckily we left first..."

So many myths! And most of them are even local myths!
In other words, when Yu Cang first emerged from the top of Lingguang Mountain, it was very likely his last chance to escape!
If they had been just a few seconds later, and Yu Cangfang's several legendary figures had appeared, they wouldn't have been able to escape even if they wanted to.

“Wen Yang, kid… I owe you a huge favor this time.” Cen Zhenguo was also filled with lingering fear. “From now on, in the Desolate Sect, I will definitely follow you!”

"Speaking of which... gentlemen," Hundred Eyes said with a grim face, "it seems the divine descent has failed, so what about the bishop...?"

“That guy’s been acting crazy, but he shouldn’t be dead yet.” Ghost shook his head. “He probably wasn’t even there in his real body this time… Don’t worry about him. Let’s get out of here quickly. Once Yu Cang has completely taken control of the Longevity Tent, we won’t be able to leave.”

"That makes sense... Let's go, let's go..."

Cen Zhenguo scooped up Wen Yang, and the four of them vanished from the spot.

……

Post
Lou Yan told Yu Cang about Na Zhe, and Yu Cang said he could trust him a little.

After that, he chatted with Lou Yan for a while and then told him to go back and rest.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Cang obtained information about "Ling Sui":

……

Soul Card Name: Ling Sui

Category: Summoning Card
Number of anchor points: 1
Quality: Connectivity

attribute: none

Race: God/Humanoid
ability:

【Descended to This World】: This Soul Card cannot be linked for summoning. When "Lou Yan" fails to summon "?? Me", this Soul Card will replace "?? Me" and successfully summon it.

[The Forgotten]: This Soul Card does not consume Spiritual Stress. It has its own deck, with each Soul Card having the same level as the user. These Soul Cards can be used by consuming the user's Soul Energy.

【Unknown Sea】: This Soul Card can record a permission on the anchor point, and then borrow the corresponding power through the permission (current permission: Buddha Kingdom).

【Return to the Otherworld】: When this Soul Card leaves the field, it is removed from the deck. It will only be added back to the deck when the 【This World】 is satisfied.

……

Looking at this description, Yu Cang seemed to be deep in thought.

That "?? of me"...

That's probably the key to becoming a god as a scholar.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips.

It turned out to be the case.
