Chapter 1382 - 1382 39 Cloud of Suspicion

Chapter 1382: Chapter 39: Cloud of Suspicion Chapter 1382: Chapter 39: Cloud of Suspicion “Who is it?!”

“What sort of person are you?”

The radiance of the jade bi reflected the darkness of the deep cavern, making it appear even more secluded.

Qin Lingxiao’s expression was solemn, and she vigilantly looked around.

Yet, she could not perceive any movement.

The surroundings were as desolate as before, with the dripping sound of water becoming more pronounced in the gloomy cavern.

However, Qin Lingxiao would never believe it to be a mere illusion or auditory hallucination.

A mortal might, but she certainly would not experience such a thing.

Moreover, although the voice spoke the language of Fenglin Continent, it carried a slight, barely discernible Zhongsheng Continent accent.

...

“Who exactly are you, sir?

Please reveal your identity.”

Qin Lingxiao looked around at the shadows again and called out loudly.

“Me?”

“Hey, just an old fellow.”

That voice, its origin unknown, echoed in the utterly lonely cavern.

The voice was androgynous, with a tone laced with self-deprecation.

Hearing the other party’s voice, Qin Lingxiao quickly calmed down.

Calmness begets tranquility, tranquility begets wisdom.

Her thoughts turning, she continued to survey her surroundings and called out loudly:

“Sir, your Fenglin Continent language is so fluent, nearly imperceptible of the Zhongsheng Continent accent, and you deliberately spoke with me…

Surely, you’re not just bored?

May I ask, who exactly are you?”

The drip-drop sound of water in the cavern hurried momentarily but soon eased down.

Then, a loud burst of laughter suddenly resounded from deep within the cavern.

“Girl, you got it wrong.

I am indeed just bored…

Otherwise, given the enmity I had with your Fenglin Continent years ago, when you just fell from the chaotic flow of Yin and Yang, I should have obliterated your spirit.”

“Enmity?”

Qin Lingxiao felt a chill in her heart.

The voice ‘heh’ed, seemingly somewhat displeased:

“How come, your elders never told you about it?”

“Over ten thousand years ago, it was I who led the Saint Mages of Zhongsheng Continent in a great battle against your Jin of Fenglin Continent.”

Qin Lingxiao’s heart suddenly clenched:

“Ten thousand years ago?”

In her mind, she vividly recalled the history mentioned by a Divinity Transformation cultivator from Zhongsheng Continent not long ago about Zhongsheng invading Fenglin Continent but being repelled.

This person, was actually a participant in that great battle?!

No, from the tone of this person’s words, he was clearly the instigator.

“Wait!”

“Ten thousand years ago…

Void Refining?!”

Qin Lingxiao was profoundly shaken.

There was no other possibility!

A Divinity Transformation cultivator could only live for about four to five thousand years.

This person spoke of over ten thousand years; if not lying, then he must undoubtedly be Void Refining.

Thinking of this, Qin Lingxiao’s mind grew increasingly puzzled about the other party’s intentions.

The voice, seeming to sense Qin Lingxiao’s emotions, grew even more dissatisfied, raising its volume:

“You little girl, do you only know about cultivation and remain ignorant of such significant matters?”

Qin Lingxiao immediately shook her head subconsciously:

“No, I have searched through all the related documents in my clan concerning Zhongsheng Continent, yet there was no record of this.”

This situation could mean that the related records were inadvertently lost.

Or it could be that the Qin Family ancestors simply did not record it.

The former is unlikely, because even though the Qin Family might lose it unintentionally, it’s impossible that Longevity Sect, Wanxiang Sect, and Youxian Temple would all lose it too.

The only possibility is that the event was deemed too minor, so much so that not only the Three Sects, even the Qin Family did not specifically record it.

But saying this might provoke the other party, so Qin Lingxiao swallowed her words after they reached her lips.

Yet clearly, the owner of the voice also realized this, suddenly becoming furious:

“Fenglin Continent is truly overbearing!”

“Overbearing!”

The person repeated “overbearing” twice, clearly extremely angry.

Seeing this, Qin Lingxiao kept her composure.

Seeing that the other party, despite being furious, still did not attack her, her mind entertained some thoughts, her expression unchanged as she spoke resolutely:

“Sir, since you hold a grudge against Fenglin Continent and are a senior from ten thousand years ago, why bother teasing someone like me?

Just speak plainly whether to kill or slash!”

Upon hearing Qin Lingxiao’s words, the voice fell silent for a moment before lightly ‘huffing’:

“Little girl, you are quite feisty, somewhat like me, and your Talent is not bad.

Although you are from Fenglin Continent, I quite like you.

How about, you take me as your master?

I can teach you how to overcome the emotional tribulation, to achieve Class V…

But Class VI might be unlikely now, this world does not allow for Class VI.”

Qin Lingxiao’s heart firmed.

It was clear from the other’s words that her realm had been acknowledged.

Yet, what astonished her more was the other’s proposition.

“Take you as my master?”

Qin Lingxiao couldn’t help but frown:

“Why should I accept you as my master?”

The other party burst into laughter again, repeating:

“Good!

Good!”

Qin Lingxiao’s frown deepened:

“What’s so funny?”

The voice continued to laugh for a while, and although the person was not visible, it seemed as if they could be seen laughing heartily.

After a while, the person slowly ceased laughing, and then the voice turned slightly cold, carrying a hint of sternness:

“You carry the secret techniques of Yuanci Palace, you are already a disciple of Yuanci Palace, so what is wrong with taking me as your master?”

Qin Lingxiao’s heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed in shock:

“You, you are from Yuanci Palace?”

…

“What exactly is that thing?”

Daoist Yuanci retracted his gaze, but his mind was still replaying the scene he just witnessed.

That umbilical cord-like pipeline, seemingly connected to the boundary wall.

But due to the angle, he could only see part of it, unable to grasp the entire situation in full view.
