ninety thousand miles

Chapter 621 Underground
After hearing what Li Zheng said, Li Chuan felt relieved.

Although Li Zheng from the Xi tribe's words were full of resentment, at least he had resentment and there was still room for discussion.

Before, the worm tribe had not appeared, and Li Chuan had always suspected that they might have other plans, such as being related to one of Chi Lin's clones. Now, Li Zheng's words could not completely dispel his suspicion, but at least proved that the worm tribe still recognized that they were part of the half-demon.

Then, Li Chuan sighed again.

After coming to Cangwu Wilderness, he made up his mind to ignore the affairs of the Half-Demons and concentrate on solving Chi Lin in Youxi Valley, and at most borrow some manpower. But now, he no longer wants to care about it, because he has been involved.

The things happening in the land of Cangwu are so intertwined that it is difficult to make sense of them.

Fortunately, the Ruiling Clan, the Yu Clan, and the Xun Clan all listened to him. However, he had made such a great effort and helped so much, and there were several major Xuanmen sects standing behind him, so it was impossible for them not to listen.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan gathered his thoughts and asked Li Zheng: "Do you think everything will return to normal without Songdu?"

"Of course." Li Zheng was very confident. He said, "Of course, and it's not difficult to do. As long as the secret realm appears in the white night and the other four tribes do not defend Songdu to the death, let the secret realm devour Songdu. For the half-demon tribe, there will not be any damage at all."

"No, what is coming is a greater disaster." The spiritual master said in a low voice, "I once saw some vague fragments about the future in my dream. The half-demon must defend Songdu."

"Then you guys just keep guarding it." Li Zheng said.

Li Chuan opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking for a while, he closed his mouth again. After taking two bites of food, he said, "Since the Xi tribe thinks this way, then the Xi tribe should not participate in our future actions."

"We didn't intend to participate in the first place. It's just because Bai Ye was dispersed this time..." Li Zheng glanced at Li Chuan and said, "If you come to the Xi tribe in the future, I will treat you well then."

"Forget about the hospitality. I just want to ask you a question." Li Chuan's expression was serious. He asked, "What did the worm tribe find underground?"

"Nothing." Li Zheng avoided the question.

Li Chuan did not give up. He said, "Just tell me, if I hadn't dispelled Bai Ye, would anyone from the Xi tribe have died when the secret realm was revealed? How many people would have died?"

"Yes, a lot." Li Zheng said frankly, "But it's just a temporary respite."

"I also gave you a temporary respite," said Li Chuan.

Lao Xiaokai immediately agreed, "How many patients pay a lot of money to seek medical treatment just to live a few more days. This moment of respite is priceless.

Li Zheng looked at the spiritual master in embarrassment.

The spiritual master said: "Mr. Li is absolutely right."

Li Zheng looked around and met Yu Chen's gaze.

Yu Chen asked: "Did you really find anything underground?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng sighed and said, "You really don't know what the shadow that appeared in the white night is?"

"I know something about it." Yu Chen said.

"I know." said the spiritualist.

Li Chuan asked, "What exactly is it?" "Half-demons cannot enter reincarnation." The spiritualist looked at the table and said, "Those shadows are the souls of the half-demons who have passed away."

"Then how do they reincarnate?" Li Chuan's thoughts were diverted again.

Li Zheng glanced at the spiritual master again, and then said, "Depend on the spiritual master's guidance."

"Just rely on the spiritual master?" Li Chuan was surprised.

"No, it's just that through annual sacrifices, I appease the dead souls and lead them to find the exit." The spiritualist looked out the window, "That's not my power, but... it comes from my ancestors, from the power under the ground."

"Then I don't understand." Li Chuan became more and more confused. He said, "But what I felt last night was that you were appeasing the blood pool underground."

"What blood pool?" Li Zheng asked.

"You don't know?" Li Chuan was surprised again.

The spiritual master said: "He doesn't know that only the Ruiling tribe can sense some of the true conditions underground."

"What is the relationship between the blood pool and your ancestors and the ancient monsters?" Li Chuan asked.

After asking the question, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, and he knew that was the answer.

At the same time, the spiritual master also said: "The sacred tree grew from the blood pool." She retracted her gaze, looked at Li Chuan and said: "In our dream, we saw that the blood of the ancient monsters filled the Sanqing River, and the river water eventually flowed to the blood pool underground."

"But we are only half-demons." The spiritual master continued, "We are not recognized by the blood pool. So we have to defend Songdu and wait."

"How long do we have to wait?" Li Zheng asked.

The spiritual master said: "When the opportunity that the Ruiling tribe saw in the dream comes, the half-demons will one day be able to walk out of the Cangwu wilderness, have their own capital, dynasty, and even embark on the path of cultivating immortals and go to heaven."

Hearing this, Jiang Mei raised her eyes and glanced at the spiritual master.

Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about those distant things for now. What did you find underground?" He asked Li Zheng again, "Tell me this, and I won't ask anything else. You don't have to entertain me. I actually prefer to stay in the capital, it's lively there."

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment and finally said, "There is something underground."

"What is that?" Li Chuan felt very tired.

Li Zheng said: "It is an invisible thing, but it does exist."

"Once, I went very deep underground. I planned to take a rest, but I fell asleep without realizing it. Then the shadows that only appear at night enveloped me and kept pulling me down. I thought I was dreaming, but I wasn't. I was being pulled by them and fell through holes one after another."

"After I woke up, I found myself lying in a narrow gap. Then I felt something sweep past me, just like that, with a swipe," Li Zheng waved his hand, "and it swept past me from head to toe. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. I just listened to it moving further and further away. Only when I could no longer hear any sound did I dare to crawl out."

"I didn't dare to stop for a moment. I desperately tried to get out of there. When I was about to return to the secret passage, I saw some corpses, some of animals, some of humans, and some of half-demons. Then, I heard that voice again. I saw a shadow wrapped around a person. The person was struggling constantly. When the shadow dispersed, all the flesh and blood on the person's body was gone."

"Then I realized that I was destined to end up like this, but for some reason, it let me go. And I also knew what it was. It was the soul of our ancestors after their death. It controls the shadows and the day night."
