The dark, secret room was filled with an overwhelming stench of blood.
There were no lights inside.
Jiang Chuan raised his hand, drawing upon the fire elemental power of heaven and earth to gather together. He then activated the fire control technique taught by Yan Lingji. In an instant, a burst of flame appeared in his palm. With the help of the flame in his palm, Jiang Chuan was able to see the environment in the secret room clearly.
This secret room wasn't particularly large.
The secret chamber was filled with skeletons, which had been there for an unknown period of time, and the strong smell of blood emanated from them.
As Jiang Chuan approached, he discovered that there were crimson lines between the bones of these skeletons.
The patterns resemble fresh blood, exuding a bloody aura.
"Is this the legacy left by Bai Yifei's mother?"
Jiang Chuan looked at the skeletons, his expression flickering.
These skeletons were not randomly scattered, but were arranged in a very regular and orderly manner around the secret room. Jiang Chuan roughly counted them and found that there were a total of fifteen skeletons.
Each skeleton's bones were as white as jade, covered with crimson patterns.
Moreover, the patterns on each skeleton are completely different.
This led Jiang Chuan to some speculations.
However, he did not rush to verify these conjectures.
Instead, he looked towards the center of the secret chamber. In the center of the chamber was a towering stone platform, on which were placed several enormous bones. It was unknown what kind of beast the bones belonged to. The bones were extremely large, and there were many strange characters on them.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chuan did not recognize the characters.
Even if you don't know them, it doesn't matter. Just take them away and find someone you know.
After Jiang Chuan left today, several huge bones appeared on his body.
Upon returning to the mansion, the first thing he did was to find Ru Shuang.
"Madam, do you recognize these characters?"
Jiang Chuan took out the bone book he had brought back from Snow Robe Fortress and asked Ru Shuang a question.
Ru Shuang looked at the bone book Jiang Chuan handed her, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What is this?"
“This is Bai Yifei’s legacy,” Jiang Chuan explained to Ru Shuang. “During this time, I often went to Snowcloth Castle to explore it, and it wasn’t all for naught.”
"I've finally found the place where Bai Yifei hid the secret manual."
"As expected, these should all be things left behind by his mother. Back then, he relied on these secret manuals to gradually reach the peak and become the Blood-Clad Marquis."
"Although it's true that his cultivation technique requires consuming the blood of young girls and is a completely demonic art, after learning about it, there might be some merit to it."
Jiang Chuan rambled on and on.
After understanding the whole story, Ru Shuang took the bone book and carefully began to browse the text on it.
“Although I am proficient in some different languages, they are all languages from various countries around the world today, and this kind of language is not among them,” Ru Shuang said to Jiang Chuan.
Even she couldn't read the characters on it.
"Is that so?" Jiang Chuan looked slightly disappointed after hearing Ru Shuang's words.
In his mind, Ru Shuang's existence was like Nobita's Doraemon, omnipotent. He never thought that Ru Shuang also had things she couldn't do. But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising, after all, Ru Shuang is a living person, not an omniscient and omnipotent god.
She was good at so many things in the past only because she was once a killer for the Luo Wang organization. In order to complete Luo Wang's missions, she was forced to learn so many things.
Knowing so much is not actually a good thing; on the contrary, it reflects the suffering of the past.
Jiang Chuan didn't get the answer he wanted from Ru Shuang. He was preparing to explore what the script was through other means, such as breaking down and copying a few characters, and then trying to ask someone who was proficient in foreign languages.
But then, a chance glance from Yan Lingji made Jiang Chuan feel as if a new path had opened up before him.
"Hmm, this script?"
Yan Lingji came over to see Jiang Chuan and Ru Shuang chatting, and Jiang Chuan was holding several huge bones in his hand. She was quite curious.
She has always been a quirky and mischievous person.
In the past, because Jiang Chuan had kept her confined in the mansion, she naturally had no opportunity to reveal these aspects of her personality.
Now that Tianze is dead, Jiang Chuan has helped Tianze avenge himself by killing Bai Yifei. Yan Lingji has completely submitted to Jiang Chuan and is willing to become his concubine. As Jiang Chuan's concubine, he naturally has no intention of restricting her freedom.
So when she has nothing to do, Yan Lingji will take a stroll around the mansion.
As for going out, she thought of the time when Bai Yifei caught her, so she gave up.
After all, she had followed Tianze ten years ago.
For people like Bai Yifei who experienced the Baiyue War ten years ago, they actually recognized her. If she went out rashly and was recognized, it might cause trouble for Jiang Chuan.
"What, you know him?"
Jiang Chuan was pondering how to figure out the contents of these bone books when he suddenly heard Yan Lingji's words, and immediately became very curious.
Yan Lingji leaned closer, looking at the writing on it, and raised her eyebrows slightly. "This is very similar to a type of writing in our Baiyue region, but I'm not entirely sure. If we can find the Corpse-Driving Demon, he might recognize it."
"The Corpse-Driving Demon is the head of the hidden witches of Baiyue. He is the most learned among us, even more learned than Tianze."
Yan Lingji offered a suggestion.
"The script of Baiyue?" Jiang Chuan was taken aback when he heard Yan Lingji's words, but then he realized that if these bone books originated from Baiyue, it would not be so strange.
Because Bai Yifei's cultivation technique reminded him of the Bat Blood Technique of Yin Fu in the original work. Yin Fu came from the Southern Frontier, which was actually the Baiyue region.
Besides, the Baiyue region was also the place where Gu magic was most prevalent.
Bai Yifei cultivates a technique similar to "Bat Blood Technique" and also possesses Gu techniques. Therefore, it is reasonable that these abilities originated from Baiyue.
Jiang Chuan's thoughts flickered, and he looked at Yan Lingji again, "Could you possibly find the Corpse-Driving Demon?"
On that day, after Yan Lingji's request, Jiang Chuan simply had Ru Shuang deliver a letter to Ying Zheng, pardoning Wushuang Gui and Qu Shi Mo.
The Baiyue assassin group was later disbanded.
The Corpse-Driving Demon, the Peerless Ghost, and the King of a Hundred Poisons have all disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Chuan hadn't paid any attention to these people originally.
But now, he has a new idea: to replace Ji Wuye and take over the night.
If these people could be used by him, that would be ideal.
Because he didn't really trust the night.
He needs to cultivate his own power base.
Chapter 143 The Idea of Establishing Power
People's thoughts are constantly changing.
When we were kids, back in school, we were so naive and wondered whether we'd go to Tsinghua or Peking University, and whether we'd become scientists or astronauts after graduation.
However, as I get older and suffer the blows of reality, the bottom line of my so-called dreams has been lowered again and again, gradually becoming just enough to make ends meet.
Since Jiang Chuan transmigrated to this world, his goals have changed several times.
At first, because he didn't know the true nature of this world, he thought he had traveled to the real end of the Warring States period. His initial wish was simply to find food and clothing, and then to find a way to survive in the chaos.
After meeting Ru Shuang, his goals immediately changed.
His second goal was to learn martial arts and become a master in the martial arts world.
After all, as a man who grew up in the future, he inevitably had dreams of riding a spirited horse and roaming the world with a sword when he was young. Not to mention, Jiang Chuan discovered that this world was the anime world he was familiar with.
Now that we know the plot, how can we continue to be as mediocre as before?
Later, he married Ru Shuang.
His goal has changed again.
The goal of the third stage is to become a master while protecting Ru Shuang and her daughter.
Based on his knowledge of the plot, he finally came to a conclusion.
That is, South Korea, is where hope lies.
In the original story, Ying Zheng would come to Korea.
If we can wait for Ying Zheng's arrival and seize this opportunity, we might be able to escape the net of entrapment.
However, Jiang Chuan's purpose was merely to help Ru Shuang escape the pursuit and trouble of the Luo Wang. So after he and Ru Shuang saved Ying Zheng once and received that promise from Ying Zheng, Jiang Chuan was already satisfied. He had no intention of giving up his many businesses in Han or going to Qin with Ying Zheng to get involved in that mess in Qin.
Then, Ying Zheng left.
The city of Xinzheng has returned to its long-lost peace, and Jiang Chuan has also pondered what needs to be done next.
For example, he could quietly wait for Ying Zheng of Qin to come of age, assume the throne, and issue a pardon, thus sparing Ru Shuang from the trouble of the net, and then live a peaceful life with Ru Shuang.
But Nongyu's arrival brought news of Lady Mingzhu's plea for help, which changed Jiang Chuan's mind again.
After that battle, Blood-Clad Marquis Bai also died.
He watched Bai Yifei die.
Jiang Chuan suddenly realized that this was not an ordinary world after all.
This is a world teeming with masters, a world that belongs to the sword.
