1517 The Truth is Out
“Do you know who the black-robed man who has been targeting Xia Wanyuan is? I’ve investigated for a long time but I can’t find his identity.”
Ever since the black-robed man first appeared, Jun Shiling had sent people to watch him the entire time. In the past few years, he had gradually figured out a portion of the black-robed man’s identity.
What could be confirmed was that this man was the sect master of the hidden continent in World D, but what was not clear was that
He had already appeared in China three hundred years ago, and in the past three hundred years, this person had been secretly searching for news of Xia Wanyuan, even though Xia Wanyuan had not appeared at that time.
It was only after the current Xia Wanyuan appeared in China that the black-robed man came to China more often, and the focus had always been on Xia Wanyuan.
Lin Jing got someone to capture a subordinate who had served the black-robed man. According to his subordinate, this black-robed man’s preferences were very strange. He was clearly from World D and lived abroad all year round.
Whether it was his eating habits or daily living, he liked China’s traditional style.
The place they lived had to have a private home forest, mountains, and rivers. Even in the desert, they had to artificially create landscapes. Their usual eating habits were completely the same as China’s.
Such complicated information had indeed interfered with Jun Shiling’s judgment. He suspected that this black-robed man had some relationship with Xia Wanyuan, but he did not know much about the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that he had met Xia Wei, it was a good time to verify it with him.
The black-robed man had been moving quite frequently in the past few years. Xia Wei, who had been paying attention to news about Xia Wanyuan, naturally discovered this person. He had also been searching for information about the black-robed man.
Xia Wei’s eyes darkened. “If I’m not wrong, that person should be the King of Jiangdong, Jiang Qing.”
“King of Jiangdong??” Jun Shiling frowned tightly.
Jun Shiling was not unfamiliar with this name. In Director Xia Wanyuan’s movies and previous life experiences that she usually revealed, this King of Jiangdong had once appeared.
Back then, the family that destroyed the Great Xia Dynasty was the Jiang family, and Jiang Qing was the main general who destroyed the Great Xia Dynasty. Later on, he ascended to the throne. Unfortunately, not long after, Xia Wanyuan brought people to restore the country, and Jiang Qing was nowhere to be found.
Jun Shiling knew that this person was Xia Wanyuan’s strongest opponent. “Why is he here? Why did you guys revive??”
At first, Jun Shiling only thought that Xia Wanyuan’s existence was because of some crack in time. However, as more and more people appeared in this era from a thousand years ago, in addition to the various information he had gotten someone to investigate, it showed that things were not that simple.
Speaking of this, a hint of frustration flashed across Xia Wei’s eyes.
“In the end, this matter is still because of me.”
Xia Wei sighed. Back then, after Xia Wanyuan passed away, Xia Wei could not accept this blow at all. As time passed, Xia Wei finally could not help but use his secret technique.
At that time, there was a legend among the people that as long as they could activate the Nine Stars Rotation Array, they could recall their loved ones’ souls. Xia Wei believed it and found someone who knew how to activate this array.
And that black-robed man was the King of Jiangdong, who had faked his death and fled.
However, at that time, Xia Wei had never suspected the identity of the black-robed man. Although he had always been on guard, he did not expect the man in front of him to be their former enemy.
Jiang Qing’s ancestors were from the hidden family, and the hidden family had indeed retained this secret method to reverse time. At that time, Jiang Qing had told Xia Wei that the spirit of this array formation was the aura of an emperor.
He needed Xia Wei to burn twenty years of his life as the price to extend Xia Wanyuan’s life.
Xia Wei naturally agreed. He followed the steps Jiang Qing had mentioned and prepared the huge array step by step.
Because of his obsession with reviving Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei did listen to Jiang Qing, but he had always been vigilant.
Before the array was activated, the people Xia Wei had sent to monitor Jiang Qing realized that Jiang Qing had secretly gotten someone to sacrifice the construction people to the array.
Xia Wei knew that Xia Wanyuan loved the people like her own children and definitely did not want him to revive because of someone else’s blood. He suggested stopping, but Jiang Qing seemed to be a little impatient and let Xia Wei discover a flaw.
However, it was too late. Jiang Qing brought Xia Wanyuan’s corpse into the array and forcefully activated the entire array.
Xia Wei only remembered that there was a white fog around him at that time. Later on, he completely lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was at the bottom of Continent F, which was aloof from the world.
After hearing Xia Wei’s explanation, Jun Shiling still did not understand. “What’s Jiang Qing’s motive for activating that array?? What has this array got to do with the Xia family?”
“In order to take revenge, he wants to go back ten years ago, back to before we fought. As for that array, only the Xia family can activate it. I’m the only Xia family member born at the most sunny time in hundreds of years. Only I can activate that array,” Xia Wei explained patiently to Jun Shiling.
The questions he had had for many years were finally answered at this moment. Only then did Jun Shiling know that Xia Wanyuan’s appearance was because of a mistake in the array.
“Then is his current goal still to return to that year??” Jun Shiling had been searching for the motive of the man in black. Now that he heard Xia Wei’s answer, he finally understood.
Why had Jiang Qing been looking for Xia Wanyuan, but he did not do anything for a long time? Because Xia Wei had not appeared. Xia Wanyuan alone could not activate this array formation.
“Mm.” Xia Wei nodded and reached out to peel off the clothes in front of him. The black nine-pointed star on his chest quietly entrenched itself in front of him. “I’m different from my royal sister. I entered this world physically. I don’t have much time left here.”
Looking at the nine-pointed star on Xia Wei’s chest, Jun Shiling frowned slightly. He thought of something. “Jiang Qing appeared three hundred years ago. You mean that he didn’t enter this world physically?”
Xia Wei shook his head. “No, he’s a corporeal body.”
Xia Wei clearly remembered that when he was swept into the white fog back then, Xia Wei had forcefully pulled Jiang Qing along. Furthermore, he had studied the black-robed man’s figure and actions. He was clearly the King of Jiangdong back then. There was no mistake.
“But he-”
“This means…” Xia Wei looked up at Jun Shiling. “He’s going to disappear too, so he’s been so anxious to find me recently.”
Jun Shiling stood quietly, a huge amount of information constantly intertwining in his mind. “Why did he conclude that you and Xia Wanyuan would definitely go to the appointment?”
“Because of your and Sister’s child.” Xia Wei looked straight into Jun Shiling’s eyes. “A child from someone who went against time and is forcefully born will not live past ten years. Only he knows how to crack it because he’s the only remaining member of the hidden family in this period of time.”
