ninety thousand miles

Chapter 497 Sorting out
After a moment, Wen Guying let go of his hand, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai felt a little uneasy when he looked at him. He asked, "What's the matter? Is there still a person like me in this world?"

Wen Guying said: "Yes, and your brother should be able to sense your presence now."

"What happened before that?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei said: "Perhaps, in a certain time and space, there is indeed only Jiang Song, but no Brother Jiang. And that time and space is the correct time and space for that thing, for the demon spirit and the high priest of the God Clan."

"It's possible." Li Chuan also guessed that there might be other timelines besides the one that Little Mouse experienced. He asked, "So they have to erase Brother Jiang's existence?"

"There are two possibilities." Jiang Mei replied, "The first possibility is that they used some means to correct what has already happened in this world."

"What about the second one?" Jiang Bai asked.

Wen Guying answered him and said, "The second possibility is that they were trying to replace this time and space with another time and space."

"Which one is more likely? Also, who did it? The evil spirit?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said, "It's not a demon. We have fought with her before, and she doesn't have that kind of power."

"Who is that? Chi Lin? He...is he born too?" Li Chuan asked.

"Not really." Wen Guying said.

"That, that thing? Could it be Yanyunke?" Li Chuan asked, and then he denied himself and said, "It must be an immortal. Could it be that an immortal from the upper realm took action at that time?"

"Perhaps, that is the reason why the fairyland was once again isolated from the human world," Jiang Mei said.

"Why?" Li Chuan still didn't understand.

Jiang Mei waved her hand to stop him from asking any more questions. She said, "No matter what, judging from the results of the Abyssal Fire Mirror, Brother Jiang is safe. What we need to do now is to deal with that thing and then leave here."

Li Chuan nodded to show that he understood.

Jiang Mei said, "When I was repairing the formation just now, Gu Ying and Junior Sister Yao told me about your experiences. I already know about the arrangements made by the gods and demons for the future, the past and present lives of the Soul Devourer, and the connection between the spire and the secret realm of Huai'an Mountain."

Wen Guying responded, "We all think that the solution to these problems must start with the demon spirits."

"How do I get started?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's the two points you mentioned before. What is the purpose of the evil spirit? And then, as the evil spirit of the White Walkers, what is her purpose?" Wen Guying said.

"Do you have an answer?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said: "Not yet, but from what she did after she was born, we can see some possibilities."

He analyzed slowly, "Not long after we left Wochi, she might have left Xinyuan. She remembered what Chi Lin told her, so she immediately found the spire under the nunnery and contacted Yanyunke."

"Twenty or thirty years ago, Prince Su came to his fiefdom, Yashan County. Under the deliberate calculations and enticement of Yanyunke and others, he developed a liking for monsters. He may have known some future trends, such as how many years the Great Jiang Dynasty would last, or that a monster king would appear within a hundred years. He may even have seen the immortal we speculated about, and he believed everything they said."

"Perhaps, he didn't completely believe it, but he longed for that position. He waited for many years, and finally he decided to obey them." "Yanyunke may have learned about the existence of the spire from here and from Shadow. So he asked the Stone Dragon King to place part of the stone platform of Heyuan Town here, and with the power of the stone platform, he found the coordinates of the spire."

"At that time, the spire was still dormant, but energy would occasionally leak out. And it was first found by a descendant of the demon clan, who built a nunnery to suppress the demon clan's holy relic. Then, Yanyunke killed her and stole the nunnery."

"After that, Yanyunke wanted to wake up the spire. He must have made many attempts. Jiang Lei from Qing Sect and Elder Xiao from Xuanyue Sect must have contributed. The protection of the spire made their magic useless. In the end, they relied on Prince Su to find some mortals and used their energy, flesh, blood, and souls to create a road connected to the corridor."

"If they are given a few more decades, the spires will probably be reconnected and restored to their original state."

"It should be like this." Li Chuan felt that the fragmented information was restored to its original position.

Wen Guying said: "At this time, an accident occurred and the demon spirit was born."

"Is anyone helping us? Who is it?" Wukong asked.

"Maybe not a specific person," Wen Guying answered, and he continued, "After the demon spirit came to the human world, she found the spire, and then she discovered the existence of Yan Yunke, Jiang Lei and others. After figuring out their identities and their relationship with the demons, she appeared in front of them."

"I think Yan Yunke must have found a way to deceive her. The evil spirit wanted him to turn the demon master sleeping in the spire into a shadow for him to command, and she wanted to kill him first." Wen Guying said.

"Not necessarily," Jiang Mei reminded Wen Guying, "She has no one to use."

"That's right," Wen Guying said, "Then there was the troupe's trip to the capital. Her purpose should be to kill the empress, help Prince Su ascend the throne, force Gong Wuguang and his disciples to leave, and then... bring Li Chuan back."

"She must have made a lot of preparations for this."

"The first was to awaken the spire. Many people died for this, and she got the key that Chi Lin left inside. The second was to prepare a host for the Soul Devourer. I think there should be a connection between these two things, otherwise it would be hard to explain why the servants in the palace were infected with the amnesia disease."

"Jiang Lei must know." Jiang Bai said, "I will torture him when we catch him."

"Why do I feel like you are eager to try?" Li Chuan said.

Jiang Bai said: "I will return to him double what he did to me!"

"I know. I will definitely hand it over to you when the time comes," Wen Guying said with a smile. Then he continued, "The third thing is something I am a little concerned about. That is, the sword tomb in Ganyu Canyon was unearthed ahead of schedule."

"I feel that this incident has something to do with Brother Jiang being erased."

"Born out early... is there a powerful person who wants to change the trajectory of the general trend?" Jiang Mei took over and spoke.

"That's right, but... Prince Su is dead, and all the arrangements he made are useless." Wen Guying said.

"Are you sure he's dead?" Jiang Mei asked.

Wen Gu should say: "Dead."

He paused and continued, "After causing the premature birth of Ganyu Canyon, the demon spirit did something similar again. She went to Cangwu Wilderness, and there were some movements under the ground of Cangwu Wilderness. We guess that the high priest Chi Lin of the God Clan is there, and she wants to wake him up."
