"You really know about this?" Ye Guichen asked, his face full of excitent.
Although he felt that the old leader might know about such Seven-colored Lotus Jade, hearing the other party casually ntion a strange na, Ye Guichen’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
The old leader squinted his eyes: "This crystal stone is the key to activating the Wuyin Array. We only have one piece in Sakura Falling. I can give you the crystal stone, and I can also tell you what this crystal stone is. But can you promise that once you get the answer, you will leave Sakura Falling and never interfere with our matters again?"
It was evident that Shang Hongye had told him about Ye Guichen taking the lotus jade from the scepter.
Ye Guichen said, "Of course."
"Good, then I’ll trust you this once." A trace of ruthlessness flashed deep in the old leader’s eyes. He looked at Ye Guichen intently, leaned his back against the headboard, and then began to speak slowly.
According to the old leader, this Seven-colored Lotus Jade is actually a type of thing called crystal stone.
As for why it’s called crystal stone, he didn’t know either, as it was passed down from the Wuyin Sect.
It was said that at its peak, the Wuyin Sect had countless such crystal stones, and under the heavens, almost no one could rival the Wuyin Sect.
But later, the Wuyin Sect encountered a formidable opponent. This person alone almost slaughtered all the mbers of the Wuyin Sect and took most of the crystal stones. Only a few people escaped.
Since then, the Wuyin Sect never recovered, and to revive the Wuyin Sect, one of the disciples founded Sakura Falling, passing down the remnants of the Wuyin Array, hoping that one day the Wuyin Sect could be revived.
But in the blink of an eye, several hundred years had passed.
The Wuyin Sect seed to have vanished from everyone’s mory.
"This crystal stone seems to be so sort of energy entity. As for more, I don’t know." After saying that, the old leader opened his eyes again: "What else do you want to know?"
Ye Guichen was silent for a mont.
His heart, however, was extrely shaken.
During its peak, the Wuyin Sect must have been filled with experts, and with the Wuyin Array as its support, it was almost annihilated by one person.
The descendants could only live on the edge.
Could it be that the opponent’s cultivation had surpassed the Innate Realm?
However, it had been several hundred years, and what the old leader knew was probably just passed down from ancestors, not seen with his own eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Guichen put this doubt behind him and picked up the Ghost Kiss Grass: "Old leader, do you recognize this?"
The old leader glanced at the Ghost Kiss Grass, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "This, this is the Ghost Kiss Grass from that giant python’s body?"
"You really know?" Ye Guichen exclaid.
Judging from his expression, the old leader seed very familiar with the Ghost Kiss Grass.
The old leader gave Ye Guichen a deep look, a faint killing intent flashed deep in his eyes: "Brother Ye, did you use this Ghost Kiss Grass to save ?"
"That’s right!" Ye Guichen didn’t deny it.
Although he didn’t expect the old leader to repay him, Ye Guichen wouldn’t hide his contribution.
The old leader was silent for a mont, then continued: "I rember when I was a child, not long after I ca to Sakura Falling, when I was around seven or eight years old. I went to that cave with my master. We almost got devoured by that giant python. But later, we were saved. That person used an iron chain to trap the giant python there and said he would use the python’s body to cultivate a Ghost Kiss Grass and harvest it in fifty years."
"Now that I think about it, over fifty years have passed, but that person has never appeared again. I guess he must be dead."
"So it was that person who imprisoned the giant python and specifically used its body to cultivate the Ghost Kiss Grass?" Ye Guichen was again shocked.
From the old leader’s words, it seed that the person’s cultivation was definitely above the Innate Realm, and possibly higher.
But the person was already in his thirties then, and now almost seventy years had passed. Even if alive, he would be twenty years older than the old leader and probably long buried.
Wanting to ask more, Ye Guichen saw the old leader shake his head, indicating that he knew nothing else.
Although Ye Guichen still didn’t know where the Seven-colored Lotus Jade originated, he now roughly understood that it was likely there were not just seven pieces.
But according to the current situation, he only needed seven pieces to open the black box.
"Old leader, according to what you said, at that ti, soone almost annihilated your Wuyin Array. There must still be so crystal stones left out there. Why didn’t you go back to find them?" Ye Guichen thought of a possibility. If so people escaped, they would surely take so crystal stones with them.
There must be quite a few left out there.
Then it shouldn’t be difficult to find another piece.
Upon hearing this, the old leader sneered: "Young man, the place where the Wuyin Sect was located is even more mysterious than Sakura Falling. We have searched for generations and found no trace. Many who knew what happened to the Wuyin Sect back then also tried to find it, hoping to find sothing to aid in their cultivation, but to this day, no one has succeeded."
At this point, the old leader seed unwilling to continue talking with Ye Guichen. "I have told you what you wanted to know. Since you saved our Sakura Falling, I’ll show you how we deal with traitors and wrongdoers."
Without waiting for Ye Guichen to speak, the old leader called Shang Hong and the Second Elder.
Then, he had himself carried out.
They went to the northwest corner of Sakura Falling.
There was an area fenced off by fishing nets.
The old leader ordered An Shengtian and his followers who he had brought to be brought in, along with the Great Elder and the other two elders.
All the people of Sakura Falling, knowing the old leader was awake, were overjoyed and almost all gathered around.
When the Great Elder and the other elders saw the old leader, they were terrified, collapsing to the ground, begging for rcy.
The old leader ignored their pleas and coldly said: "I have told all of you before, Hong Ye is the most talented person capable of mastering the Wuyin Array and the one most likely to revive our Wuyin Sect! I can die, I am willing to sacrifice my life, but Hong Ye must live and beco your leader!"
"This ti, I almost died by an accident, but Heaven spared , allowing to co back to life." While the old leader spoke, no one dared to make a sound.
Clearly, the people of Sakura Falling had imnse awe for this old fellow.
The old leader continued: "Our collaboration with Azure Dragon Comrce is only to gain benefits from them. But if anyone dares to target Sakura Falling, even if it’s the president of Azure Dragon Comrce, I will fight to the death!"
With that, he glanced at An Shengtian: "Especially those who covet the Holy Daughter."
While saying this, the old leader cast an intentional or unintentional glance at Ye Guichen, then said: "Throw this Young Master An into the sacrificial pool."
