Chapter 619 Chaos
"That means, this isn't the crack that will lead to the secret realm emerging?" Li Chuan asked.

"No." Jiang Mei said.

"That's not bad. If the secret realm opens here and swallows up the entire Song City, then..." Li Chuan said halfway and saw Jiang Mei's eyes. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "It won't be born here, right?"

"Not anymore." Jiang Mei said.

"Originally?" Li Chuan confirmed with him.

"It's possible." Jiang Mei was very conservative.

"Why did the demon spirit do this?" Li Chuan asked another question. Before Jiang Mei could answer, he answered it himself: "Is it to wake up Chi Lin, or to find his clone? What is the relationship between Song Du and Chi Lin?" His thoughts jumped, "The shadow of the demon clan and the shadow here are not related, right?"

"No." Jiang Mei shook her head and said, "The shadow of the demon clan didn't originally look like this. It was because of Yan Yunke and Jiang Lei that they completely lost their physical bodies and turned into this form."

"Oh oh..." Li Chuan felt a little disappointed.

"But your guess that the demon spirit came for Chi Lin is indeed possible," Jiang Mei narrated slowly: "Six hundred years ago, Yan Zhi, a half-demon from the Moon Shadow Clan, unified the half-demons. After that, he established Songdu. From my current observation of the underground situation, his goal is to build a city in the Cangwu Wilderness that is not affected by the half-demon curse. The various peculiarities of Songdu may be derived from this point."

"It should be." Li Chuan said.

"He found a way to isolate the curse." Jiang Mei said.

"What method?" Gong Er asked.

"Using the power of ancient monsters," Jiang Mei answered, "he found the corpse of an ancient monster. He may have discovered that the power in the corpse could resist the curse. One corpse is definitely not enough, but he found the black stone. So he used some things that originally existed underground, as well as the spells he collected and could run, to reconstruct a complex formation, transforming the energy emitted by the corpse into a kind of power, and then relying on the special ability of the black stone, he finally isolated the influence of the curse on Songdu."

"But I still don't quite understand." Li Chuan raised a new question, "The curse was cast by a god. Let's not talk about the dispute. Let's just say that the half-demons cannot leave the Cangwu Wilderness. The capital of Song is still in the Cangwu Wilderness? It hasn't left? I think this half-demons' capital, just, has never really played any role."

"There must be some, but I don't know enough about Songdu, half-demons, ancient monsters, and curses." Jiang Mei stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "But my inference should be correct."

Just as Li Chuan was about to say something, Lao Xiaokai said, "Don't worry about the details. Let Master Jiang continue."

"I think so too. Master Jiang, please continue." Li Chuan said.

So Jiang Mei continued, "There's not much to say about Songdu. What I'm more concerned about is the Black Stone. Was the Black Stone's appearance in Cangwu Field an accident, or was it arranged by Chi Lin or the demon spirit? Did Yan Zhi unify the half-demon tribes and establish Songdu entirely by himself, or... was there some kind of existence helping him?"

"Chi Lin?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei said, "I think so. There must be some connection between the demon spirit and the black stone. Last year, when she took the key back from the spire, she triggered some power, and the demons and half-demons were affected. After she got the key, she must have come to Cangwu Wilderness, but found that she could not awaken Chi Lin. At about the same time, some half-demons felt that changes were taking place underground, and sensed that the secret realm would appear again. In other words, at that time, the demon spirit should have known about Songdu."

"At that time, Songdu was under strict guard, so she might not have found an opportunity." Jiang Mei continued, "But this time... the sacrifice is her chance."

"Because we are all in Dahe?" Li Chuan denied it as soon as he asked, saying, "But Elder Li caught the shadow of the demon outside the sacrifice. Or was she in Songdu last night?"

"She may also be taking advantage of the sacrifice." Jiang Mei said. "Just now you said you saw the core of the formation. Is Chi Lin's clone there?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei shook her head and said, "I took a quick look and didn't go deeper. It's... too complicated down there, and I'm afraid my actions will cause the formation to become unstable. But I feel like Chi Lin isn't there. The demon's purpose may simply be to break the formation here."

"What's good about her?" Li Chuan asked.

"It must be related to the subsequent emergence of the secret realm." Jiang Mei replied, "The two secret realms of Luoxia Secret Realm and Cangwu Wilderness Secret Realm appeared at the same time. There must be something behind this that we don't know."

"Okay, let's just take it one step at a time," Li Chuan sighed, feeling a little hungry, he said, "Let's go eat first, and by the way see what the Tribe wants to do."

He couldn't help but complain again, "This Chi Lin demon spirit is never straightforward in doing things. He always likes to play tricks and schemes in secret. If he really has the ability, he can just come out and fight. Whoever wins will win. How simple it is."

He then asked, "By the way, Master Jiang, what do you think of me getting a few more magic weapons for self-defense? That way, if I encounter a powerful enemy in the future, I can protect myself, and I won't need you to distract yourself to protect me."

"You can find something that doesn't require divine consciousness to control," Jiang Mei suggested, saying, "You need to concentrate on driving the Tianyin Pot and performing the methods of the Pattern Sutra. If you are distracted by other magic weapons, it will be bad."

He thought for a moment and said, "Once things are done here, I will go to Tianyu Gate to find some magic weapons for you."

"Okay, it's time for me to improve my Xiquan flute." Li Chuan said.

At this time, the voice of the spiritual master came from behind the door, accompanied by a knock, "It's me, can you come in?"

"Come in." Li Chuan said.

Then the spiritual master pushed the door open and walked in. She looked around at the people in the room and said, "The banquet is ready. Do you want to go?"

"Yes." Li Chuan replied, "Master, please wait a moment. We will be there soon."

After hearing what Li Chuan said, the spiritual master seemed very happy. She said, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside." She paused, looked at Jiang Mei and said, "Master Jiang, did you find anything under the crack?"

"We have some discoveries. The banquet is about to begin. Let's talk about it after the banquet." Jiang Mei said.

"Okay." The spiritual master forced a smile.

"I have rearranged the barrier, don't worry." Jiang Mei said.

"I'm worried about other places..." The spiritual master took a breath and said, "There's no rush. I'll go out first. Call me when you're ready."

"Okay." Li Chuan said.
