My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Ye Qingrou sighed with some disappointment. Qi Yu and her ancestors both came from the same place.

In essence, Qi Yu and they are not the same kind of people.

If Qi Yu could stay, he might be able to uncover the secrets of a world.

However, Qi Yu was different from her ancestors; she seemed to have a strong sense of family.

It seems somewhat possible to get Qi Yu to willingly develop his soul for him.

If it were that woman named Su Yue, we could probably find out more, but not Ye Qingrou.

How did the Immortal Ancestor die?

It's embarrassing to admit, but he was stabbed to death by a woman.

Chapter 133 Secrets

Ye Qingrou and Qi Yu sat facing each other in the main hall, with a chessboard between them.

In the silent hall, only the sound of pieces being placed echoed.

The two players took turns placing pieces, and the winner was quickly decided.

Normally, the only one who can play chess with Ye Qingrou is the nine-tailed fox.

Ye Qingrou's chess skills were also taught by the fox.

Compared to other chess players, Ye Qingrou is quite good, but she still can't beat Qi Yu.

In the past, Qi Yu would have gone easy on her and given her some leeway, but now he was in a hurry and didn't have time to argue with Ye Qingrou.

Do you know Qin King Ying Zheng?

As the rain continued, Ye Qingrou suddenly asked a question that left Qi Yu completely bewildered.

Does this girl know about King Ying Zheng of Qin?

He had suspected from the beginning that there were other people from his hometown here besides himself, but none of them had ever matched the description.

In the Western Regions, someone invented perfume. Qi Yu thought it was someone from his hometown, but after investigating, he found out that it wasn't.

However, this did not dampen Qi Yu's enthusiasm for searching for his fellow villagers. He kept a close watch on them, but all his efforts came to nothing.

It wasn't until Su Yue confronted him, revealing that the man who was closest to the immortal was also from the same world as her.

Qi Yu then realized that there were indeed fellow villagers, but it was ten thousand years ago!

After regaining his composure, Qi Yu forced himself to calm down, placed the chess piece, and then slowly spoke.

"I know, it's the First Emperor!"

Upon hearing the words "First Emperor," Ye Qingrou frowned and asked, "First Emperor? Isn't he the King of Qin?"

Qi Yu sensed something else in the question and asked, "Who was the Prime Minister of Qin at that time?"

Ye Qingrou thought for a moment and replied, "Lü Buwei!"

Qi Yu understood. When Lü Buwei was alive, Ying Zheng had not yet finished conquering the six states, nor had he proclaimed himself the First Emperor.

"How did you learn about King Ying Zheng of Qin?"

Qi Yu calmed himself down, pretended to be calm, and continued playing chess.

“My ancestor’s autobiography mentions that he came from the Qin state!”

"Was your ancestor a Celestial Venerable?" Qi Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ye Qingrou nodded and said, "That's how people outside address him, but his correct posthumous title is Immortal Ancestor!"

What is a posthumous title?

What it's called after death is up to future generations to decide.

Whether it's the Immortal Ancestor or the Immortal Venerable, it's basically certain that this Immortal Ancestor was also a time traveler, and someone from the Warring States period.

The Warring States period!

That era was filled with war and chaos; I wonder if the Immortal Ancestor ever thought of going back!

"If you and the Immortal Ancestor really come from the same place, remember to stay away from a force called Ghost Valley!" Ye Qingrou said.

Guigu Valley? The predecessor of Qingxuan Valley!

He glanced at Ye Qingrou and saw from her expression that she wasn't joking.

"Guigu? Why stay away from them?" Qi Yu asked, puzzled.

"Besides you and the Immortal Ancestor, do you think there's no one else?" Ye Qingrou asked.

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "I have never thought of myself as a unique chosen one!"

Ye Qingrou picked up a chess piece and placed it down, but this time, she placed the piece with a bit too much force.

"Besides you, there have been other people who seemed to be from another world before, but most of them didn't live long!"

Qi Yu, recalling Ye Qingrou's earlier reminder, asked uncertainly, "Guigu?"

Ye Qingrou nodded and said, "Several of them have been killed by the people of Guigu. If you see anyone from Guigu, stay away!"

Qi Yu was speechless. Should he tell her that his wife was also a disciple of Guiguzi?

Why are the people of Guigu targeting us?

Ye Qingrou remained calm and said, "Because your souls are very special and have great research value, if I'm not mistaken, the cannons you made are also a product of your side, right?"

Qi Yu understood, but he was speechless. In the eyes of the people of Guigu, these transmigrators were like mountains of gold and silver, veritable treasures!

"Isn't there anyone who escaped the persecution of Guigu?" Qi Yu asked helplessly.

Ye Qingrou nodded and said, "There was one. He successfully escaped the persecution of Guigu and even forced Guigu into seclusion!"

Qi Yu became interested. Was he that powerful? This was truly a role model for us time travelers!

"Who?"

"The founder of Confucianism, the Sage of Confucianism!" came the answer from the fox in Ye Qingrou's arms.

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. The Confucian Sage? That guy was also a time traveler?

"The Confucian sage was the last sage. He was a man of great courage, and it was because of him that the later situation of dynastic conflict arose!"

When the nine-tailed fox mentioned the Confucian sage, there was an undisguised fear in her eyes, even though the Confucian sage had been dead for three thousand years.

But as they talked, the fox turned its gaze to Qi Yu.

"None of you are easy to deal with, so the major powers that knew about Guigu's ambush of you have basically tacitly accepted it!"

"You might already be being watched by the people from Guigu. Be careful, or you'll suffer a terrible fate if they catch you!"

Qi Yu coughed lightly, but didn't know what to say.

Su Yue is a disciple of Guiguzi, so if she wants to kill me, I don't seem to have any resentment!

If I could die at Su Yue's hands, it wouldn't be so bad.

"I understand, but what I'm more interested in now is the ancient city of Fengdu and the Ghost King!"

"The Ghost King is the corpse god of the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor became a saint by severing his corpse, and the Ghost King Chi Li is the corpse god that was severed!" The nine-tailed fox paused, then continued:

"However, Fengdu Ancient City has existed since ancient times. I don't know the specifics. Even the Immortal Ancestor couldn't find out its details."

Qi Yu had guessed that the Ghost King was a Corpse God, but he never expected that he was the Dao Ancestor.

Before the seventh leader of Taoism, "Slaying the Three Corpses" was not a forbidden technique, but was only listed as a relatively dangerous esoteric art.

It wasn't until the seventh leader's corpse god went out of control and slaughtered more than a dozen cities that "Slaying the Three Corpses" was listed as a forbidden technique, prohibiting anyone from practicing it.

If the Ghost King is a Corpse God, then it seems plausible that he can control so many ghosts.

The Corpse God was originally separated from the soul, representing human desires and emotions, that is, separated from the seven emotions and six desires.

"Alright, I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now you can leave!" Ye Qingrou stood up, straightened her skirt, and gave the order to leave.

Qi Yu came to her to find out the Ghost King's background.

The Ghost King is a Corpse God. Because of the Dao Ancestor, he can only hide in the ancient city of Fengdu and cannot come out.

The Dao Ancestor died, but he survived.

Corpse gods are born from desire, so eliminating desire is basically impossible.

Even the men who were closest to immortality, their immortal ancestors, couldn't truly control their desires, could they?

Otherwise, how could he have been so easily deceived by that woman from Guigu, and ultimately lost his life because of it?

"Qi Yu, here's one last piece of advice: don't trust the women from Guigu Valley. They have plenty of ways to kill you!"

Qi Yu was speechless. He was already close enough!

There have been a lot going on lately, and I've been living in a daze. I'll see if I can update more in a few days!

Chapter 134 The Illusory Realm of Reincarnation

After leaving the far north ice plains, Qi Yu headed to the ancient city of Fengdu in the west.

In the forbidden area, the ancient city of Fengdu is divided into two worlds by a black line.

The Black Sands are a forbidden area, and also the territory of the ancient city of Fengdu.

Qi Yu had been here before, so he entered the Black Sand area with ease.

As soon as you step in, bumps appear in the sand.

The mound split open, and skeletons emerged from the black sand.

Each of these skeletons possesses the strength of a first-grade to half-step Grandmaster. With so many skeletons, even a Grandmaster would have to kneel before them.

However, Qi Yu was not afraid. He merely glanced at the skeletons, and a surge of true energy swept across them, freezing all the skeletons within a radius of fifteen kilometers.
