Chapter 670: Ten Thousand Years of Past (2)
"yes..."
Pu Ruozhi's mood suddenly fell down again, and a regret appeared on his face, and he smiled bitterly like a self-mockery: "I haven't listened to the elder brother. He warned me that he could not open the brocade box, nor could he practice the evil magic in it, but I didn't listen."
"It was me who failed to resist my greed. In order to survive, I broke my promise to my senior brother, harmed my senior brother, and also harmed the Xiao family..."
"Where does this start?"
Ye Wushuang instantly grasped the point and asked, "He was provoked by Xiao Jianyun himself; and I have also heard of the Xiao family's destruction; but wasn't that done by Chu Xiaogao secretly? What did you do with you?"
As soon as these words came out, Pu Ruozhi's eyes burst into tears, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said guiltily: "Yes, it was done by that bastard Chu Xiaoao, but... it was because of me!"
"Although the eldest brother disappeared, his descendants were still there; and because he was suppressed by the Sword Sect, he was forced to flee to the East Wilderness and found me. At that time, although Chu Yu was dead, I was still able to speak in the Cangyun Empire and the entire East Wilderness. There is naturally no problem in protecting them."
"And at the beginning, it was indeed the case; after the Xiao family settled in Cangyun, although it was not as good as in Zhongzhou, with my support, I also achieved a huge family second only to the Chu royal family... But I ignored the hearts of people, the greed and jealousy of human nature."
"The rise of the Xiao family has aroused dissatisfaction among many forces; among them, it includes the Chu royal family!"
"In addition, I had a lifespan of thousands of years at that time, which attracted the attention of many people long ago; although the Chu royal family was afraid of me, they were even more jealous of me for being able to have such a long lifespan, and even asked indirectly many times. Unfortunately, I was too confident at that time and thought about everyone too well and didn't take it seriously at all. This time, it caused the demise of the Xiao family..."
Speaking of this, Pu Ruozhi sighed and continued, "I remember that it was a day hundreds of years ago. I was hunting monsters outside and plundering demonic power. I heard something happened to the Xiao family, so I hurried back and found that it was too late..."
"At that time, since you knew it was done by the Chu royal family, why didn't you attack them?"
Ye Wushuang asked.
At that time, the Chu royal family had not colluded with the other four empires. With Pu Ruozhi's strength, it was definitely more than enough to destroy the Chu royal family.
As long as the Chu royal family is destroyed or even if Chu Xiaoao and others are killed, how could Pu Ruozhi be imprisoned and tortured for hundreds of years?
"I just had some doubts at that time, but I was not sure that it was the Chu royal family who did it."
Pu Ruozhi sighed again and said, "At first, I supported the Chu royal family. All the Chu family respected me as elders when they saw me. Even the Chu emperor was grown up at that time, and every time I saw me, I would call Grandpa Pu affectionately. In this case, I didn't expect that they would do it at first."
"Secondly, I don't know who came from Zhongzhou at that time, saying that the reason why Xiao Jianyun betrayed the Sword Sect was to take away a treasure book; and the Xiao family exchanged the treasure book with me in order to survive, so I could survive for thousands of years without death. Those people did not dare to attack me, so they attacked the Xiao family while I was away. This kind of news was flying all over the world, and I was blinded for a while... until I was ambushed by Chu Xiaoao..."
At the end, Pu Ruozhi suddenly sighed, as if he was regretful, as if he felt guilty, and even more as if he was moved.
Ye Wushuang also sighed, reached out and patted Pu Ruozhi on the shoulder to show comfort.
He finally had some context about what happened back then.
Simply put, since his accident, the eldest disciple Xiao Jianyun should have found some clues about the traitor; however, the other party was extremely powerful and very cautious, and even found Xiao Jianyun and was ready to attack him.
At this time, Pu Ruozhi went to the Sword Sect with passion, wanting to join in and avenge Ye Wushuang; unexpectedly, the Sword Sect at that time was actually controlled by those traitors, and he was severely injured and drove him out.
When Pu Ruozhi was dying, Xiao Jianyun secretly saved him and told him some things; but Pu Ruozhi forgot what was specific and has not yet known.
But after Pu Ruozhi returned, he assisted Chu Yu in pacifying the Eastern Wilderness and establishing the Cangyun Empire, and wanted to seek Zhongzhou to see it. Ye Wushuang guessed that Xiao Jianyun realized that the enemy's strength was too strong at that time, so he asked Pu Ruozhi to accumulate strength in the Eastern Wilderness and then go to Zhongzhou to support him.
This is consistent with Xiao Jianyun's later pursuit and forced to hide until now.
Unfortunately, because of the sudden death of Emperor Chu Yu and Xiao Jianyun suddenly became a traitor, this plan was put on hold!
Afterwards, Pu Ruozhi, who was disheartened and the end of his life was approaching, thought that he would end his life, but unexpectedly opened the brocade box left by Xiao Jianyun, obtained the secret technique of thawing blood, and then obtained a life span of tens of thousands of years.
But it is precisely because of this that Pu Ruozhi's long life has attracted the covetousness of some people; after all, the initial purpose of the cultivation path is to live forever.
But even the Emperor's realm warriors rarely have a lifespan of more than ten thousand years; while Pu Ruozhi only lived for thousands of years, which naturally leads to suspicion and ill-behavior.
But the name of Wushuang Sword Emperor is so famous. Pu Ruozhi, as the closed disciple of Wushuang Sword Emperor, has lived for thousands of years. Even though he encountered a wall in the Sword Sect, no one can guarantee that he has no backup plan. What if Wushuang Sword Emperor left some killer moves for him back then, wouldn’t they be sent to Pu Ruozhi to die?
What's more, the illusion that the strongest in the East Wilderness at that time was the same as Pu Ruozhi.
So they targeted the relatively weak and vulnerable descendants of the Xiao family; and the first to take action was the Chu royal family that Pu Ruozhi trusted the most.
Of course, the Xiao family does have a blood-thawing secret technique that can prolong life; however, it was quietly stolen by the ancestors of the Qi family at that time and was concealed from everyone.
This is why Chu Xiaoao later joined forces with warriors from the four empires to ambush Pu Ruozhi and imprison him for hundreds of years.
The whole thing is clear, but there are still many problems that have not been solved.
For example, although Xiao Jianyun was not in the Imperial Realm back then, he also had the cultivation level of Li Mo. Now, he has been ten thousand years apart, how can he take that step and become an Imperial Realm warrior?
But he still cut off Ye Wushuang's martial arts in order to protect Ye Wushuang.
That means that the terror of the enemy still makes Xiao Jianyun, who has entered the imperial realm, still feel frightened?
For example, although Pu Ruozhi said a lot, every important node in it is always stuck.
At first, Ye Wushuang just thought that Pu Ruozhi had not recovered from his serious illness and his mind had not yet fully recovered; but later he found that this was more like someone deliberately erased some memories.
After all, Pu Ruozhi was once a illusion warrior. Even if he only had one aspect, he would not forget some things because of his physical reasons; especially those things that were obviously extremely important, and it was even more impossible to forget them.
What's more, even Ye Wushuang, who was the Unparalleled Sword Emperor back then, could not do it at all!
Such things, as Pu Ruozhi told me, some things became clear, and a series of questions emerged.
Unfortunately, at present, these questions cannot be explained at all if Xiao Jianyun is not found!
Ye Wushuang didn't know where Xiao Jianyun was and whether he was still alive.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that in the ten thousand years since his disappearance, some changes must have happened on the Tianjian Continent; even this change is enough to threaten the lives and safety of all warriors on the entire continent.
For example, the strange blood-thawing secret technique!
The secret technique of blood-melting was born in ancient times and was handed by the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court; it fell into his hands ten thousand years ago, but at that time, this technique was not surprising except for being a bit bloody and cruel, and it did not have the ability to prolong life. It was also not famous in the Tianjian Continent.
But ten thousand years later, it not only caused many people to compete, but also became even more strange, especially the ability to devour warriors and monsters, which can prolong life, is extremely terrifying!
"Oh, by the way!"
While thinking, Ye Wushuang accidentally glanced at the Jiuhua Sword that nailed the Cave Void Demon Beast to the ground and asked hurriedly: "Why is this Jiuhua Sword on the Cave Void Demon Beast? Moreover, when I first came in, this Cave Void Demon Beast could not only transform into your appearance, but also seem to have your memories?"
“It…”
Hearing this, Pu Ruozhi turned his head and looked at the cave demon beast, sighed again, and said, "This one starts with the establishment of the Cangyun Empire."
"At that time, the East Wilderness was unified and Cang Yun was the supreme; Chu Yu and I discussed building a palace, and finally chose the current location based on the direction of the dragon vein. However, when the construction started, we accidentally discovered that a big demon body was buried here."
"However, I didn't care at that time, but I just set up a formation to suppress the demon body; of course, the problem was not big at the beginning, and the demon body was indeed suppressed. But unexpectedly, in just a few decades, the demon body actually gave birth to the cave void monster, and directly broke free from the formation, trying to escape from the cave void, and to harm the world."
"And at that time, I encountered a bottleneck when I practiced the secret technique of blood melting. The bloodline of monsters below the fourth grade was useless to me; and there were very few monsters in the entire Eastern Wilderness; therefore, I also set my sights on this cave-like monster..."
"But unexpectedly, after entering Dongxu, I chased the beast for more than a month. Not only did I succeed, but it took advantage of the loophole and took half of my flesh and blood!"
Speaking of this, Pu Ruozhi couldn't help but hold his hands tightly and said, "And it has swallowed most of my soul!"
What?
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was stunned.
Everything in the world has seven souls and eight spirits, collectively known as souls.
As the martial artist's cultivation increases, his soul will be nourished and gradually become stronger. After entering the martial arts, he will be changed to the soul!
In other words, the soul is the general term for the seven souls and eight spirits of martial arts warriors!
If the soul is damaged, it will be crazy at the least, and it will be dead at the worst.
Although the soul is stronger than the soul, even if it is damaged, it will not hurt life; it will also lead to weak breath and decline in strength; even, in severe cases, it will also cause warriors to fall into coma and become living dead, which will still endanger their lives!
But the problem is that Ye Wushuang had previously examined Pu Ruozhi's condition in detail. In addition to the internal organs being damaged and the meridians were broken due to the complex demonic power contained in his body, the strange and bone-broken cold air was left; the soul was normal!
"What the hell is going on?"
Ye Wushuang paused and asked in a deep voice: "I have checked your condition more than once before, but I have not found that you have been injured in your mind?"
"I am a physical body and soul split at the same time. It is equivalent to splitting into two and becoming two complete people, so it is normal for the master to find out..."
Pu Ruozhi explained: "But this situation also caused my cultivation to fall directly from the illusion, and to reach the beginning realm in one fell swoop, and even almost as if I were devilish."
"Although later, I had no choice but to move the Eight Desolate Dragon Evil Formation to the palace and completely suppress this beast. But my cultivation level could never be restored to the illusion."
"Otherwise... how could Chu Xiaoao capture me by the time?"
Speaking of this, Pu Ruozhi slowly stood up and looked at the cave demon beast that had given up struggling on the ground. There was a faint rage in his swollen old eyes!
