Chapter 310 Not a Single One Left Behind
When Shen Xu returned to Guo Yan's courtyard full of doubts, he found He Yu playing with the Qi Ling White Crane, or rather, the Qi Ling White Crane teasing He Yu.
It always stood very close to the crane feather, and would fly away immediately when the crane feather reached out to grab it. Back and forth, although the crane feather never touched the Qiling White Crane, Shen Xu could tell that both of them were having a lot of fun.
But at the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the pride of the Qiling White Crane is not limited to men, women, or children. Why is it more affectionate towards the crane feathers than Li Xiaoyi, who has been feeding it for so long?
It's a pity that the Spirit Crane can't speak, otherwise he would definitely ask this lazy crane what it was thinking.
"Xiaoyu, it seems you and it are quite destined for each other! Even your names are related." Shen Xu said to Heyu with a smile.
"By the way, was your name given to you by your grandfather? Did he ever tell you why he chose that name for you?"
“Grandpa said this name might save the Blood Central Realm,” He Yu said very seriously.
"Save the Blood Central Realm? The primordial energy environment is getting worse and worse, the True Blood Palace, time is running out... Could it be that the old man's real purpose is to send him to the True Blood Palace to save the Realm Spirit?" The more Shen Xu thought about it, the more likely this was.
But why didn't the old man just say it directly, instead of giving him a riddle?
Thinking of this, Shen Xu walked into the house and asked Guo Yan, "Brother Guo, I want to know if Huo Yan came alone?"
"She's definitely alone. Is there a problem?" Guo Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to ask."
He guessed that the old man probably trained Crane Feather to help another person going to the True Blood Palace because Huo Yan failed to rescue the World Spirit. The timing also fits, but what role can Crane Feather play in the True Blood Palace?
Xiao Jing's words were like an iron curtain that swept over all his guesses. If the old man's real purpose was to have Huo Yan rescue the spirit of the realm, then why did the old man want Xiao Jing to bring Huo Yan back?
When Li Xiaoyi returned, Shen Xu told her what Xiao Jing had said and his guesses.
After listening, Li Xiaoyi fell into deep thought. After a long silence, she slowly asked, "Have you ever thought about what you and Huo Yan have in common? Why did that old man choose you and Huo Yan to go to the True Blood Palace?"
"Probably because we are all from the True Origin Continent."
"Furthermore, you both came to the Blood Central Realm from the same spatial rift, and the first city you both arrived at was Floating Ink City. If Xiao Si cultivated the ancient methods and reached the Qi Condensation Realm, would you still have had a chance to learn the message Huo Yan left for you in the jade pendant?"
"Hiss~" Upon hearing Li Xiaoyi's guess, Shen Xu couldn't help but gasp.
"You mean he deliberately lured Xiao Jing to the True Blood Battlefield because he knew that as long as Xiao Jing was there, he would definitely make Xiao Si cultivate the ancient techniques!"
“He probably not only deceived Xiao Jing, but also Huo Yan. If he and Huo Yan were just casual acquaintances, would Huo Yan have let him know about her jade pendant? I’m afraid Huo Yan entrusted Xiao Si to him before she came to the True Blood Palace,” Li Xiaoyi added.
"It seems he's betting that someone from the True Origin Continent will find him by following Huo Yan's footsteps, and Crane Feather is the help he's prepared for me over the years." Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh.
"Judging from the results now, he won the bet. Now it's up to us to decide."
"If that's the case, then he probably knows more than I thought, but why doesn't he just say so?" Shen Xu couldn't help but fall into deep doubt.
"Sister Yunyao said that there are many ways to restrict a person's words and actions in the void, and the simplest way for the demon race to control the will of a person or even a group through bloodline is. He probably doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it."
“That old man did say something like ‘it can’t be said,’ which explains why Huo Yan didn’t tell Xiao Si anything about the True Origin Continent.” Shen Xu suddenly felt that many things were connected.
"The Seven Kings should not be subject to restrictions. I personally witnessed the current Cangli King write the words 'True Origin.' However, it is also possible that the written language on the True Origin Continent is unrestricted, which should be one of the reasons why they destroyed the books from the Seven Sects period."
Moreover, Sister Yunyao said that this is probably a method used by the demon race to corrupt the spirit of the realm. The spirit of the realm is not static, but is influenced by the will of countless living beings within the realm.
Although the extent to which the Blood Central Realm's spirit has been corrupted is unknown, once the spirit completely sides with the demon race, it will be incredibly difficult for the True Origin Continent to fully reclaim this small world.
"I thought it would just be a difficult task, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Shen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
“Although we don’t know what the demon race is planning to do with the Blood Central Realm, the Blood Central Realm is definitely a huge threat to the Sword Alliance right now. If we can’t stop the demon race’s scheme, the Sword Alliance, which is closest to us, may be the first to suffer in a few years,” Li Xiaoyi said very seriously.
"It won't be many years, but in a few years the entire Xingchuan region will be in trouble," Shen Xu thought to himself.
If the demon race really intends to use the Blood Central Realm to launch a large-scale invasion of the True Origin Continent, Ningzhou will definitely not be able to stop it. At that time, he will have to go to great lengths to help Uncle Wang escape to the Central Continent. In comparison, it is better to take precautions here.
However, in his current soul state, he would have a hard time dealing with a single blood demon. Most of his attack methods were sealed because his soul was weakened and he could not use the Dao intent at a high intensity. Even his budding sword intent could no longer be used. Only his sword momentum could be used to create some favorable opportunities for Li Xiaoyi.
Moreover, the closer he got to the True Blood Palace, the more restless his bloodlust became, which was not good news for him. If he lost control of his bloodlust, he would likely fall into a state of chaos again. Losing control in such a perilous place as the blood mist would only lead to his death.
He was also worried that the giant blood beast had memorized his aura. If he exposed his blood essence near it, he would probably attract its gaze again, and his soul would definitely not be able to withstand that eye's gaze a second time.
"By the way, if we really take this news out, how will the Sword Alliance deal with this small world? And how will they view those who cultivate spiritual blood?" Shen Xu suddenly remembered the question the old man asked him when he first met him.
"The Sword Alliance will probably develop this world together with the Seven Luminaries Sect. After all, without a half-saint, it is impossible to establish a boundary gate. I believe the council members should also be well aware of this."
As for those who cultivate spiritual blood in the Blood Central Realm, there's a high probability they won't be spared. A chill seemed to permeate Li Xiaoyi's voice.
