Chapter 675 Determining The Mastermind
“Indeed… How did you know this?” Jin Yang asked in astonishment.
In the past, Jin Yang could only watch countless clansmen leave this world because of the Abyssal Poison. If he had known this, they wouldn’t have to die.
“I discovered this by chance.” Yun Lintian replied briefly without further explanation.
Yu Rongxi asked further. “It should have something to do with the grade, right? Back then, our Profound Spirit Pond was contaminated with Abyssal Poison, and it could not be used. Because of this, no one had ever thought about using Profound Spirit Liquid to deal with the poison.”
Yun Lintian replied. “Yes. As long as the Profound Spirit Liquid’s grade is higher than the Abyssal Energy’s, it can deal with the poison with no problem.” ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ
Yu Rongxi nodded with a somewhat regretting expression. Her clan’s Profound Spirit Pond was the mid-grade one, but it was unfortunately destroyed by the Saint Abyssal Beast’s corpse. Otherwise, her clansmen wouldn’t have to die like that.
“By the way, why did you call it Abyssal Energy instead of Abyssal Poison? Is there any difference?” Jin Yang asked.
“When I traveled to the Central Continent, I came across an ancient record. The Abyssal Poison, in fact, is called the Abyssal Energy. It is nothing but dark attribute energy. Similar to other attributes, the higher the practitioner’s strength is, the intense Abyssal Energy becomes.” Yun Lintian explained.
“Dark attribute energy….” Jin Yang repeated thoughtfully. “No wonder we cannot deal with it.”
The dark element was the most vicious element among the ten elements. Except for the light element, there was nothing that could deal with its violent nature. That was why countless people could not stop their injuries once inflicted with Abyssal Energy back then.
“The Profound Spirit Liquid I have in my hand is the best grade one. It can be used against the peak Monarch Abyssal Beast at most. We still have a disadvantage facing the above Monarch level.” Yun Lintian explained further.
Hearing this, Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi subconsciously turned to Huoyun Yurou.
“They shouldn’t be completely recovered. However, looking at the Poison Valley’s action today, I’m afraid it won’t be that long.” Huoyun Yurou said solemnly.
Yu Jiao’er was puzzled. “Grandma, you’re saying there were Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm’s Abyssal Beasts back then?”
“Yes. We spent everything in order to kill them, but we didn’t expect them to have a spatial treasure in their sleeves. In the end, they had narrowly escaped with the last bit of life.” A trace of pain appeared in Huoyun Yurou’s eyes as she spoke this.
Yu Jiao’er noticed this. She hurriedly lowered her head and said sadly. “I’m sorry, Grandma. I shouldn’t have asked such a stupid question to make you recall the past.”
Huoyun Yurou smiled kindly. “It’s been a long time. I didn’t feel much about it now. No need to feel guilty.”
Even so, Yu Jiao’er still felt bad about it. She lowered her head further and kept silent.
Huoyun Yurou looked at everyone and said. “Let’s go back first. We need to prepare for the incoming event.”
Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi nodded and left with their people.
“What do you think about today’s incident?” Huoyun Yurou asked Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and expressed his analysis. “From what I see, the security of this city can be considered the best. Naturally, these Poison Valley’s remnants can’t appear here by their own ability. There’s only one possibility that is someone with enough authority helping them in secret.
“Although the Sky Qilin Clan is bad, I don’t think they are stupid enough to collude with the Poison Valley. Cutting our clan, Sky Qilin Clan, Deep Sea Naga Clan, Golden Python Clan, and the Heavenly Fox Clan out, four suspicious clans are left. And among them, the Great Roc Clan and the Purple-Winged Tiger Clan have the highest power second to the Sky Qilin Clan.”
“So, you are suspecting these two clans?” Huoyun Yurou asked calmly.
Yun Lintian shook his head. “They are certainly suspicious, but I don’t think they are behind this. Although it was a short time, from their earlier behavior, the Poison Valley’s remnants were clearly aiming at Pei Xiewen’s group. Unfortunately, they met Tianqi Junlai and us first.”
“The Crimson Ox Clan?” Huoyun Zhu suddenly said.
Yun Lintian nodded. “It’s likely to be them. It’s true that they don’t have much share in the Nine Profound City, but aren’t they licking the Purple Winged Tiger Clan’s boots right now? Secretly helping those ten men into the city should be no problem for them.”
Huoyun Yurou leaned back slightly and fell into contemplation.
“Senior, this is not the first time Poison Valley is making a move. They did a lot of hideous things in the Northern Continent in recent years. Their goal is to conquer the Northern Continent and use it as a springboard to hit other continents. Before coming here, I was on their killing list.” Yun Lintian didn’t hide anything.
On the side, Mu Qiuxue looked at Yun Lintian in doubt. She noticed that Yun Lintian had changed the way he called Huoyun Yurou from Matriarch to Senior. Additionally, his words earlier proved that he wasn’t in the same group as Huoyun Yurou. More precisely, the relationship between Yun Lintian and Huoyun Yurou wasn’t of that matriarch and clansman… Who exactly was this young man?
Yun Lintian was naturally aware of Mu Qiuxue’s existence, but he had no intention of hiding it. Anyway, he would soon reveal his identity to her.
“Is it serious over there?” Huoyun Yurou asked concernedly. Although her relationship with Lin Zixuan wasn’t strong, she was genuinely worried about her.
“For now, it’s not serious. The Frozen Moon Palace and Principal Tian of the Sky Throne Profound Academy are preparing for the worst. Also, the Divine Thunder Palace has lent some help. As long as they act more carefully, the Poison Valley would have a hard time penetrating the Northern Continent.” Yun Lintian said calmly. He did his best to provide Han Bingling with information. Unless there was an unexpected factor appearing, nothing should happen to the Northern Continent for the time being.
