Yang Qing flicked his luminescent charcoal stick a few tis as countless thoughts and ideas flooded his mind.
"If one of them has sothing to do with the Purgatory black tiger cult, what would they gain from coming here?.." muttered Yang Qing with his gaze trained on the royal capital of the Deer Mountain Kingdom.
"I don't think there would be anything of value for them here. The Wang patriarch had already purged every trace of the cult in the White Mulberry Kingdom both before and after the battle ended.
I doubt there would be anything to find not unless the patriarch looted sothing from the corpse of the cult leader and kept it with him, but considering the heights he reached and the two statues, would anything the cult leader had even appeal to him not unless...."
Yang Qing paused as he narrowed his focus on the two statues.
"They could know about the statues that propelled the Wang Patriarch to the heights he reached and the entirety of the Bi Xie Empire after, maybe they are trying to replicate what the cult leader had wanted to do with the White Mulberry Tree in refining it with the help of the purgatory flas of damnation array into a form that would help him breakthrough to the domain realm.
Could that person want to do the sa?" murmured Yang Qing as he held his chin in deep contemplation.
"But the statue isn't the sa as the White mulberry tree. If it contains the true nature of the Pi Xiu, I doubt it would be corruptible no matter how damaged its current state...
The grade of the art wasn't ntioned. I wonder if the Order has any information related to them. It should help with getting a clear picture of them.."
When his thoughts reached this point, Yang Qing instantly called for all information related to the Purgatory black tiger cult. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw three lights flying his way. He had half-expected it to fail like it did before when he was searching for information related to the fall of the Bi Xie Empire or the Sky rendering sword sect.
He spent the next twenty minutes reading the pieces of information about the cult which left him surprised not because of what was contained in it, but because of how in-depth it was.?He was expecting it to be scattered because of how back the cult existed or for it to be censored because his temporary clearance didn't cover it.
But it was the opposite, he managed to learn more than he expected about the cult, and in so sense in that twenty-minute read he felt he knew more about the cult than he did the Bi Xie Empire.
"Terrifying doesn't begin to cover that period.." muttered Yang Qing with a slight sigh of apprehension as he put away a scroll that seed like it had seen better days.
Long Wan had glossed out on the activities of the cult. The cult had slaughtered countless cities in their heyday. Despite the chaos and mayhem they caused, their background was what kept them alive, and it was their background that made Yang Qing shiver. It turned out that the cult had been subordinate to a division that Yang Qing still found hard to believe existed back then, though it was more of him hoping it never existed.
The ti period, and much of the information were unclear, but the scrolls he had read did ntion that the Purgatory black tiger cult was rumored to have been one of the subordinate organizations belonging to the Taowu division of the twelve beasts of calamity.
The Twelve Beasts Of Calamity was considered an alliance of twelve different organizations banding together to form the Twelve Beasts Of Calamity. Those twelve organizations beca twelve divisions of the organization and the scroll Yang Qing read that information from only had nine divisions nad.
Each of the divisions was nad after a terrifying beast and the author didn't expound on whether they were truly backed by those beasts or they just borrowed the na because if they were backed by those beasts, Yang Qing shuddered to imagine how the continent had even remained intact.
The nine nad divisions were; Hun Dun Division, Qiong Qi Division, Taowu Division, Taotie Division, Tiangou Division, the Primordial Water Demon Ape Division, the Yong Division, and lastly the Zhuya Division.
Every single one of these divisions was nad after terrifying mythical creatures that stood on the sa pedestal as dragons, phoenixes, and white tigers and they were all famous for the ability to cause wild wide chaos and destruction.
The Hun Dun, Qiong Qi, Taowu, and the Taotie were collectively called the four perils.
The hundun was a mythical creature with six wings, six legs, and no face whose primary ability was to shapeshift into any creature it consud. It not only gained the ability to transform into them, but their abilities and accumulations too. It also caused disorder and chaos everywhere it went because of just its inherent presence alone, tainted and contaminated an area with decay and dark energies that could even swallow the sun. An area contaminated by its presence would never harbor life except for another hundun and it would need the purifying flas of the phoenix or the cleansing power of the primordial parasol tree to restore the area.
Because of its corruptive nature, a saying was developed, better to face the wrath of the heavens than to have a hundun as a guest in your place for even a second.
The Qiong qi was just as notorious as the hundun. It too was a mythical creature whose entire body was cloaked in purple-
black flas. It looked like a hybrid of a wolf, tiger, and dragon with spiked hones that went from its head down to its tail, with deep yellow eyes that hid bloodthirsty mayhem and chaos within it. It was massive in fra but despite its stature, it had great agility that accompanied its fearso strength.
The Qiongqi existed for nothing else other than brutal savagery. Every living thing that entered its sight would be torn apart, even space itself was not spared from its destruction. It knew no fear, it never got tired, and every feature of its body made it the worst predator one would ever face, as it used its horns, claws, and teeth to tear apart any defense, its eyes broke the mind and will of anyone who wavered before it and it could deduce countless daos with it, while its purple flas burned through everything and anything laying waste to anything it ca across.
If a Qiongqi sets its sight on you even hiding at the ends of the earth, and in the sturdiest of defenses would not keep you safe from it, even if you escaped to the sun, it would still follow you there, destroying everything in between.
