Chapter 758: 265. Master, you are truly righteous (5.1K words – please subscribe)_2
Although Senior Sister’s power is not insignificant, if you learn my secret, you will be drawn into a situation that even Senior Sister and Elder Ning cannot bear to face. That’s why I said it has nothing to do with you.
I haven’t mastered the power of the Wa Saint; the Wa Saint could kill me at any time. I can only use this power in certain situations to intimidate others.
Ning Yunmiao’s expression softened considerably. She sent a thought: “I came here because of the two female cultivators in your world. Wang Susu and Tang Ningxin, they’re worried you’re up to no good because of Tang Yi and his wife’s disappearance.”
Then…
She explained the entire context and sequence of events.
Song Yan squinted, sending a thought: “Elder Liu, Elder Crane, and the owner of the Shadow Refining Treasure Realm all have issues.
Senior Sister, have you ever thought that by speeding up your arrival here, you were hoping to give me a choice? Then why is Ming Ruyin here? What is her reason for rushing here?”
Before Ning Yunmiao could respond, Song Yan continued his thought: “If you really follow what you said and let Ming Ruyin go back, Senior Sister, you may find yourself in danger, and the female cultivators in my world will also face retribution.”
Ning Yunmiao sent a thought: “Did you really slaughter the sect here and devour the cultivators?”
Song Yan replied thoughtfully: “The Emperor of the Long Night is brutal and unrighteous; most of these cultivators are merely Pole Guardians, complicit in evil. Without their deaths, the Western Nether Realm would never be peaceful.”
Ning Yunmiao was pensive, then sent a thought: “Then why do you look so dark now?”
Song Yan replied thoughtfully: “Has Senior Sister understood how I survived the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss step by step over these hundreds of years, and how many things I encountered? It’s just being influenced by one’s surroundings.”
Ning Yunmiao sent a thought: “I have been reflecting for a hundred years and did not know these… Elder Dan initially deceived me, saying you died in battle with the Evil Demon. It was only recently, after my grandfather returned, that I learned you had been exiled to the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss.”
With that, the two fell into silence.
No more misunderstandings.
There were no injuries caused by misunderstandings, nor irreversible matters arising from them.
Neither of them were children; if they could truly sit down and communicate calmly, they could understand each other’s thoughts clearly, and wouldn’t make arrogant assumptions, turning a winnable situation into a loss, or making straightforward matters mysterious and complicating simple problems.
If Ning Yunmiao’s mind had only “unsullied justice” and couldn’t listen to any words, if Song Yan driven by pain thought about leaving, bidding farewell to the past tonight and falling into darkness. Then, Ning Yunmiao would have taken Ming Ruyin away in front of Song Yan, and after returning, Ming Ruyin would have been rescued by her companions and would “punish herself with three drinks,” thus avoiding punishment, and Ning Yunmiao would have been targeted, suffering an attack at some point. Song Yan’s world, including cultivators like Wang Susu, Tang Ningxin, An Li, and Su Yao, would have also met untimely deaths.
Luckily, these two are quite reliable.
The above scenario did not happen.
Not only did it not happen but because of their attention, it began to shift in another direction.
Ning Yunmiao sent a thought: “Can you really make her speak?”
Song Yan said: “I can.”
Ning Yunmiao said: “Then do it.”
The two ended their telepathic communication.
Song Yan intensely stared at Ning Yunmiao, said sharply: “Since you don’t believe me, then ask her!”
He suddenly grabbed Ming Ruyin, and in the hidden triumphant expression in her eyes, he directly used the power of the “Wa” character, saying: “I want you to reveal all secrets within the time of an incense stick.”
As he spoke, the pre-prepared demon body surrounding Song Yan became a scapegoat, directly removed by a small white hand born from the void.
This time, his questioning was very clever; he set the limitation of “the time of an incense stick,” which reduced the cost. Yet, even so, Song Yan was astonished to find that the demon body he had prepared this time was almost entirely taken away by the small white hand. This indicated that his seemingly simple request was actually very significant.
Ming Ruyin had reacted very quickly when at the Broken Jade Pendant, but this time… she truly panicked.
Then, before she could react, she was already ensnared.
At this moment, she felt filled with a reckless desire to confess, a suicidal urge to reveal all the secrets she knew to the man before her, even if it meant the heavens would crumble, the earth would shatter, and her body and soul would perish, she was determined to speak.
Smack.
Song Yan released his grip.
Ming Ruyin fell, gasping for breath, and then said: “These secrets are killing me; today I must tell you!”
“Forbidden Talisman Blood River, I’ve always been carrying out the will of the Forbidden Talisman Blood River.
We call that person Blood River Saint and Blood River Lord, whereas we are Blood River Sect disciples.
It’s not just me; many high-ranking members in the Myriad Swords Star Realm are among us. I know a few. Liu Venerable, Yun Linzi, Fu Chengjian…”
Ming Ruyin rattled off several names in one breath.
Upon hearing the names, Ning Yunmiao momentarily froze, then closed her eyes, quickly accepting reality, and then said: “Wasn’t the Forbidden Talisman Blood River already gone? I remember it was history before I even started cultivating.”
Ming Ruyin ignored her.
Song Yan said: “Continue.”
Ming Ruyin said: “I know some things about this, even though I hadn’t started cultivating by then. But what Ning Yunmiao mentioned should be about the time of the first righteous-demonic war. That was many years ago…
That era was called the Blood River Era.
