Swish!
The ring of light disintegrated and disappeared.
Su Jingxing panted and calmed his breathing, but he couldn’t hide the shock on his face.
Blood Eye Cliff…
What a perilous land.
Just by getting a little closer, a great terror would descend.
Could the hidden hand left behind by Xiang Qingtian be this Blood Eye Cliff?
“No!”
Su Jingxing shook his head and calmed down. He carefully recalled the information about Blood Eye Cliff and the great terror he had felt when he saw it from tens of thousands of miles away.
This great terror was not targeted at Su Jingxing alone.
It was as if there were all kinds of natural disasters affecting everyone and Su Jingxing was merely one person among them.
The great terror on Blood Eye Cliff was targeted at everyone!
Therefore, this was most likely not Xiang Qingtian’s hidden hand.
The reason why it wasn’t 100% was because Su Jingxing couldn’t be sure if Xiang Qingtian had tampered with it.
According to the information, the Blood Eye Cliff had existed for a long time. It was unknown how many years it had existed. In any case, before the Xiang Family established the new Chu Nation, the Blood Eye Cliff had already appeared.
As such, the great terror of the Blood Eye Cliff had existed for a long time.
It had been so many years, but there had been no major chaos in the New Chu Nation. This meant that the terror of the Blood Eye Cliff was only targeted at the area where it was located.
He would be fine unless he stepped into its boundaries.
Su Jingxing’s main body took the path of spiritual martial arts, and his cultivation was in the third class of the Essence Opening realm.
The Essence Soul took the path of divine martial arts, and its cultivation was at the peak of the ninth class of the Void Soul realm.
Despite the combination of the two, peeking at the Blood Eye Cliff still terrified him.
Given Xiang Qingtian’s cultivation, would he be fine against the Blood Eye Cliff?
At this thought, Su Jingxing relaxed.
All he had to do was not touch the Blood Eye Cliff. Of course, he had to be vigilant and check it from time to time.
For the time being, he had no idea what Xiang Qingtian had left behind. He could only suppress his thoughts.
…
After browsing through the information of the New Chu Nation again and making sure that he did not miss anything, Su Jingxing returned to the capital and returned the information.
Then, the Essence Soul descended from the Void World and rushed to Ao Chunqiu’s residence.
His main body went to the Void World to keep an eye on the movements of the New Chu Nation.
The murderer who destroyed the You Family had been confirmed to be Xiang Qingtian, but the strange phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace had not been fully clarified.
According to Xiang Qingtian, he had almost never entered the palace. He had seized the Heavenly Star Disk from Ao Chunqiu’s hands.
Ao Chunqiu was the only one who entered the palace.
The strange power that enveloped the Chengtian Palace was still there. If he wanted to know the answer, he would have to ask Ao Chunqiu.
It would be even better if he could find out from Ao Chunqiu who the two women who injured Xiang Qingtian were.
This was Su Jingxing’s intuition.
Ao Chunqiu was related to the two people who injured Xiang Qingtian!
…
As the Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office, Ao Chunqiu lived in a large manor in the eastern suburbs of the capital.
However, other than Ao Chunqiu himself, there were not many people.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul descended from the sky and landed in the manor. At first, it caused a commotion. Soon, an old man who looked like a butler quickly came up to greet him. He bowed down and shouted nervously, “Greetings… Greetings, Martial Sage! I… I didn’t know that you would be coming…”
“Has Ao Chunqiu woken up?”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul interrupted calmly.
The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor restrained its aura and scanned the entire manor with its eyes under the mask.
“Yes, yes. Master just woke up.”
The old man replied carefully, “This way, Martial Sage. Master lives over there.”
With that, he lowered his head and led the way.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul slowly followed behind.
The two of them passed through most of the manor and entered an old-fashioned building.
In a room built entirely of wood, he saw Ao Chunqiu sitting on the bed and drinking medicine.
“Master, the Martial Sage is… is here,” the old man opened the door and shouted excitedly.
In the room, there was a long-haired woman who was serving Ao Chunqiu his medicine. When she heard this, she turned to look at the door and her eyes widened.
The pale Ao Chunqiu also turned his head slightly to look at the door. When he saw Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul in the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor walk into the room, he was first stunned. Then, he got out of bed and wanted to bow.
“Greetings, Martial Sage!”
Ao Chunqiu shouted as his body moved.
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul raised its hand and released its soul power. An invisible force held Ao Chunqiu down and he sat back on the bed.
“I just want to ask what happened in the Chengtian Palace.” asked Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, ignoring the long-haired woman.
“Chengtian Palace?”
Ao Chunqiu’s pupils constricted. Then, he raised his hand to dismiss the old man and the long-haired woman.
After the two of them left and closed the door, Ao Chunqiu exhaled and said, “I dare not hide anything from the Martial Sage. There is a secret chamber under the Chengtian Palace that the You Family discovered by accident about 20 years ago. This secret chamber is very well-hidden and the method of entry is extremely special. Even in the You Family, few people know about it.
“…Because I have a close relationship with the You Family, I learned of the existence of the secret chamber ten years ago. I found out that after the secret chamber had been discovered, the You Family had placed many treasures inside. No one would have thought that they would be hidden in a secret chamber in the imperial palace.
“The source of this incident is a treasure in the secret chamber. It was suddenly activated for some reason and guided worldly energy to settle in the sky above Chengtian Palace for a long time. As time passed, more and more worldly energy gathered.
“By the time the You Family discovered it and entered the secret chamber to cut off the source, it was already too late. The two mysterious women in the Snow Nation’s delegation entered the secret chamber almost one after another.
“Snow Nation’s delegation?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul raised its eyebrows.
