ninety thousand miles

Chapter 644 Answer
The Tianqi Sword rang clearly, and streams of sword energy echoed the sound of the pot, flying towards the flesh and blood, strangling it wantonly.

After a heavy rain of flesh and blood fell, everything returned to calm.

Wen Guying put the phantom into a dark box, then he put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "Just right, one hour."

"Did you get the answer you wanted?" asked Elder Li.

"Almost." Wen Guying said.

"Have you figured it all out?" Li Chuan asked.

Reviewing the past, one should say: “It is not difficult to understand.”

He stood up and said, "Let's talk while we walk. It will probably take a long time to walk from here to the blood pool."

The sound of the pot stopped.

Li Chuan put away the Tianyin pot, stretched his wrists, and said, "Let's go."

After sitting for so long, his feet became numb. When he took his first step, the numbness spread upwards from the soles of his feet. He hissed and his body swayed.

Zhu Qingyun supported him and asked, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"No, I just sat for too long." Li Chuan took two heavy steps forward, and the numbness gradually subsided.

They walked out of the hole where the blood tumor grew, and after passing through a very narrow gorge, the road became wide again.

Wen Guying relayed Yan Zhi's words and said, "The one Yan Zhi was talking about should be Chi Lin's clone in a certain life. They were very good friends. Yan Zhi wanted to remove the half-demon curse. They found a way to remove the curse in Youxi Valley. So they unified the half-demon tribes and built Songdu. These should all have happened six hundred years ago without a doubt."

"He said he was cheated," said Li Chuan.

"The point is not about deception, but about Youxi Valley." Wen Guying said calmly: "In Youxi Valley, they got the information that to break the half-demon curse, they need to do three things. The first is to find a usable corpse of an ancient demon beast, the second is to gather the power of all half-demons, build a capital city, and live in it, and the third is to hold sacrificial ceremonies regularly in Songdu."

"Then, the question is. Who told them these three points?" Wen Guying asked.

"Chi Lin?" Li Chuan replied.

"Which Chi Lin?" Wen Guying asked.

"You mean, the sleeping one?" Li Chuan asked.

"That's my guess," Wen Guying said, "Haven't you always wanted to know what Chi Lin wants to do? Now you can almost see it."

"Just tell me, I didn't see it." Li Chuan said. He was very tired and didn't want to use his brain.

"What about you, Spiritual Master?" Wen Guying asked the Spiritual Master, "You are the most knowledgeable about the sacrifices of the Half-Demon Tribe."

The spiritualist said, "It's not an ordinary sacrifice they are holding. I can't imagine it."

"But the result is very clear." Wen Guying finally continued, "Yan Zhi noticed the abnormality of the sacrificial ceremony and the deception of his friend. In order to stop it all, he sacrificed himself. As a result, the Moon Shadow Tribe disappeared, and the Half-Demon Tribe split again and weakened to the extreme. At the same time, all related records, whether it was text or patterns, or memories that should have been stored in the dreams of the Ruiling Tribe, were deliberately erased. Until now, six hundred years later, the Half-Demon Tribe has not fully recovered."

"Is this what Chi Lin wants?" Li Chuan asked.

"This is just the surface. If you dig a little deeper, you will see the truth." Wen Guying paused and asked a question, "What did Yan Zhi discover during the ceremony?"

"He didn't say it." Li Chuan said. "No, he has already said it." Wen Guying sighed and said, "After that, part of his consciousness has remained there. So who is sealed under the seal of Songdu?"

"Are you talking about Yanzhi?" Li Chuan asked.

"One more thing, do you still remember the true form of the gods?" Wen Guying asked.

"Parasitism..." Li Chuan thought about it.

"Yanzhi terminated the ceremony, but it had already begun, and might even be close to completion. As a result, he remained underground in Songdu forever, with his body alienated and sealed. So, what would have happened if the ceremony had been completed successfully?" Wen Guying asked again.

"Will that ancient monster wake up?" Li Chuan guessed.

"He may not wake up, but he may enter a state of near-death," Wen Guying said.

"Near death..." After hearing this word, Li Chuan felt that he had finally caught up with Wen Guying's train of thought. He said, "Are you talking about the White Walkers? Does he want the White Walkers to parasitize the flesh of the ancient monsters?"

"Think about it again?" Wen Guying encouraged.

"Does he want to guide the White Walkers into the world through sacrifice?" Li Chuan asked.

"That's what I guessed too. The demon spirit sank into the Heart Abyss and used the Abyss Silk to guide the White Walkers into the World of the Living. Does that mean there needs to be a guide in the World of the Living? And that person can only be Chi Lin." Wen Guying sighed again and said, "He probably tried many times. Just the one we guessed, plus the Frost Leaf Sect, that's two times."

"Have all failed?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said, "That should be the case. I've said before that a half-demon's reincarnation is not complete, and he can't recover his memories in every life. So he hasn't been doing this for more than 30,000 years. The time he can use is also extremely limited."

"Wait, there's a problem," Li Chuan sensed something was wrong and said, "What we captured was the peeper's clone. We guessed that the peeper was Chi Lin, Chi Lin, not Yan Zhi... So the one who just communicated with us was Chi Lin, right? He disguised himself as Yan Zhi and deceived us."

"It's Yanzhi." The spiritual master said: "I can feel his soul. It's the soul of a half-demon from the Moon Shadow Clan."

"It could also be Chi Lin in disguise?" Li Chuan said.

"Perhaps the answer to everything lies in that sacrificial ceremony," Wen Guying said, "Perhaps, in that ceremony, part of Yan Zhi's consciousness and Chi Lin's clone's consciousness were forever entangled. So we had a conversation with Yan Zhi in Chi Lin's clone's dream."

"It could also be a trap." Li Chuan said calmly, "He asked us to destroy Songdu, and the Xi tribe also tried to destroy Songdu... Who would benefit from destroying Songdu?"

"You will know if you go to Songdu again." Wen Guying said.

"I wonder how Senior Brother Luo and the others are doing," Li Chuan began to worry again, "If the Xi tribe destroyed Songdu because of Yan Zhi's order...then they fought with the half-demons from the other three tribes, and it would be another meaningless death."

"Let's solve the secret realm first." Wen Guying said.

"Yeah." Li Chuan said.

Several people walked quickly and silently.

After walking down a slope, Wen Guying spoke again and said, "Yan Zhi's friends may not have deceived him."

"Why do you say that?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying answered: "Perhaps he realized his identity at that time. Otherwise, how could a cunning man like Chi Lin give Yan Zhi the opportunity to terminate the ceremony?"
