Chapter 612 Contradictions
Elder Li spoke very quickly, and Li Chuan had to concentrate fully to hear what he said clearly.

I didn’t expect Elder Li to have such an impetuous personality.

Elder Li continued, "I checked the bones, and they were all the bones of insignificant little demons. I dug deeper, and the earliest bones I could find were probably dead for five or six hundred years, and the freshest ones were about twenty years old. Someone deliberately lured some little demons here and then killed them."

"Is it watering the ground with blood?" Li Chuan asked. After setting foot on the Cangwu Plain, they had been planning to go to Youxi Valley, but apart from seeing Youxi Valley 30,000 years ago in a dream, he still knew almost nothing about Youxi Valley.

Therefore, when he heard Elder Li describe the current situation of Youxi Valley, he couldn't help but have questions in his mind. "If it was done one after another, why didn't the person clean up after each time? Instead of leaving these corpses? That person lived for at least six hundred years, so... whether it was a cultivator or someone else, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy the corpses and cover up all traces if he lived to that age? So is there any special reason for leaving these corpses?"

"Five or six hundred years ago and more than twenty years ago, these two time points are also quite subtle. The frequent white nights were exactly five or six hundred years ago, and more than twenty years ago, it was the Frost Leaf Sect. So this person must be someone who is related to these things."

Elder Li glanced at Li Chuan, and then continued to talk about his experience in Cangwu Wilderness. He said: "I searched around and found nothing else, so I walked back along the original path. I wanted to see how big this underground secret passage was, so I marked it as I walked. After walking for five days, I felt that I had only walked a small part of it, and then I received a message from Junior Brother Wen, so I had to come out."

After that, he answered Li Chuan's question, "The corpses there have all turned into jade, so they were left there on purpose. As for the reason," he glanced at Li Chuan again and said, "You can ask others, I only know how to grow crops."

"Elder Li is too modest..." Li Chuan had just said something polite when Elder Li raised his hand to interrupt him.

Elder Li said, "Stop talking about these empty words. What are you going to do next?"

Wen Guying said: "Wait a moment."

"Aren't you going to Youxi Valley?" Li Chuan asked.

"Wait until the secret realm comes into the world." Wen Guying replied.

"Why? Didn't you plan to go directly to Youxi Valley?" Li Chuan asked puzzledly.

"Before, I thought Chi Lin was the root cause." Wen Guying said.

"Do you think it's a pool of blood now?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying nodded and said, "Wait a little longer. It will take about ten days or half a month." He looked at Elder Li and asked, "Uncle Li, where are those shadows?"

"Here." Elder Li took out a sack and handed it to Wen Guying. "They are all here. They are very slippery. A few of them almost escaped."

"Okay." Wen Gu took over, and then he said: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Li to continue investigating those secret passages."

"Okay, this is the first time Yang Jiu has asked me for help in so many years, I will definitely get everything done for you." Elder Li patted his chest and said. He looked at the flock of birds in the sky and said, "I will follow these birds, I am leaving."

After saying this, he flew out with the bird and soon disappeared in the morning light.

"Elder Li, he..." Li Chuan couldn't find the right words for a moment, "He is too impatient."

Wen Guying remained calm and said, "The old palace master must have promised him a great favor."

"Oh, I see." Li Chuan said.

Wen Guying put away the sack, sat down again, poured another glass of wine and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you should contact Sect Leader Wang. I hope...there are no more incidents in Guiyin Cave."

Jiang Mei nodded and said, "I'll go now."

"Let's go farther away." Wen Guying said, "I'm beginning to worry about the wind now."

"I understand." Jiang Mei said, and then followed the flock of birds away. "Then let's talk..." Li Chuan became worried after hearing this.

"That's okay." Wen Guying said, "It takes a lot of spiritual power to drive the Abyss Fire Mirror."

"Oh." Li Chuan said he understood.

"Sit down for a while." Wen Guying said.

So Li Chuan smiled and asked Yu Chen and the two little demons to sit down again.

Li Chuan took a sip of wine and looked into the distance. It was already completely light, and the birds had almost all dispersed. The clear blue, cloudless sky seemed even clearer and more spacious than before. After looking at it for a while, he felt calm.

He said, "If we solve the blood pool, then whatever Chi Lin is planning, he won't be able to succeed, right?"

"That's what I think." Wen Guying admitted.

"It's impossible to just ignore it now," Li Chuan said to Yu Chen, "Patriarch Yu tried to let Xuanmen take over the secret realm before, which really dug a big hole."

Yu Chen sighed and said nothing.

"By the way, what about the demons and the White Walkers? You haven't told me yet." Li Chuan thought of this again. "Master Wen, please tell me all this time."

"Okay." Wen Guying thought for a moment and said, "The demon spirit sinks into the abyss of the heart..."

"Wait," Li Chuan interrupted him, "I thought of something, something that is contradictory."

Wen Guying asked in a friendly tone, "What's the matter?"

Li Chuan took out the butterfly spirit.

"This is the key." Li Chuan activated the butterfly spirit, and the golden tree on its abdomen expanded into a full moon. "This is a sacred tree, and it is also a full moon. I don't think this is a coincidence."

"Indeed." Wen Guying said.

"What will happen if I take it and walk into Youxi Valley?" Li Chuan asked.

"Just bring it in, it shouldn't be a big deal. If it were that simple, the demon spirit could just take it in itself." Wen Guying said.

"If I go in, I might get into trouble." Li Chuan said, "But the contradiction is not here, but... the order I saw in the spire illusion was that the demon spirit gave the spire to Chi Lin, Chi Lin put the key in, and then let the spirit beast swallow the spire and sink into the ground together. In other words, he had the key before entering the Cangwu Wilderness, and the old palace master also recognized that the key was something from the gods..."

"He should have refined it using the methods of the gods." Wen Guying said.

"But the order doesn't match." Li Chuan said.

"Only a part of him is sleeping." Wen Guying speculated, "So the Chi Lin you saw at that time was just one of his three avatars."

"After one clone fell asleep, the other clone went to Youxi Valley, got the tree and the moon, refined them into a key, and then found the demon spirit. The demon spirit put the key into the spire. After that, the demon spirit sank into the heart abyss. What about him?" Li Chuan recalled the conversation between Chi Lin and the demon spirit, "So he said to the demon spirit, you know where he is, because he is already asleep."

"Then... could it be that the skeletons of those little demons were created by Chi Lin's clone?" Li Chuan's thoughts jumped, "Five hundred years ago, the hero began to travel in the human world. There is a difference of a hundred years in time..."
