Major Forces?
The forces belonging to the deities?
If that’s the case, the Yingyue Sect really can’t compare.
Lin Chen already knew the chaotic history of the Sixth District, in the early days, various forces of deities entered the Sixth District, competing for territory and driving out the original forces. That period was the most intense in fighting and had the highest death rate in the Sixth District.
Although the Yingyue Sect seed detached from the world, this was only its attitude towards outsiders. It didn’t an that such a powerful sect like Yingyue wasn’t controlling vast lands.
If they didn’t control large regions, how would they collect cultivation resources?
Would they just live off the air in the Yingyue Mountain Range?
Obviously, the Yingyue Sect was blocking the way.
"The Yingyue Sect was unwilling to give up its rightful territories, and so battles erupted. No one knows exactly how long the fighting lasted, but in the end, the result was the original powerful Yingyue Sect was wiped out."
Lin Chen was filled with disappointnt, Creation God, you’re so unreliable!
Why let Modier carry your heart treasure box around? You might as well tell him to bury your heart sowhere, wait for you to escape, then retrieve it yourself. Wouldn’t that work?
Lin Chen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Dozens of Saints, such powerful strength, were all defeated?"
The waiter laughed, "Though Saints are powerful, Saints vary in strength too. When Saints fight, they can also die. Two die today, three die tomorrow; how long can dozens of Saints last?"
"The Yingyue Sect was at its peak tens of thousands of years ago. Over such a long period, disappearing in a chaotic place like the Sixth District... that’s quite normal."
Lin Chen unwillingly asked, "Since those forces attacked the Yingyue Sect for its territory, didn’t they take over and establish their forces here? Who controls the Yingyue Mountain Range now?"
The waiter answered fluently, "It’s within the territory of the Earth Dragon Association; they control the entire Yingyue Mountain Range and a large surrounding area."
Lin Chen asked worriedly, "If we enter the Yingyue Mountain Range, will we encounter the Earth Dragon Association people? Will they forbid us from entering?"
The waiter laughed, "They do consider the Yingyue Mountain Range their garden for producing various dicinal herbs, minerals, and demonic beast products, but many people go in for adventures. The Yingyue Mountain Range is so large; just don’t get caught by their people."
Ning Hesheng asked, "What if we’re discovered?"
The waiter chuckled, "If discovered, you’ll be severely punished, not only will all your gains be confiscated, but everything you possess will also be seized. Of course, you could also be killed, since there are no rules here."
"If you’re strong enough, you can boldly search for what you want. As long as they can’t provoke you, they’ll pretend not to see."
Ning Hesheng laughed, "That’s quite realistic, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, huh?"
The waiter lowered his voice, "Even though the Earth Dragon Association occupies this large area, their strength is just average. Only the chairman is a Saint, while the other subordinates are Sub-Saints or even weaker."
Ning Hesheng’s eyes lit up, "Can a single Saint capture such a vast territory?"
The waiter laughed, "It’s not that big, the Yingyue Mountain Range is just a few ten thousand miles, compared to the entire Sixth District, it’s just a speck, a negligible place."
Ning Hesheng turned to glance at Lin Chen, eyes filled with excitent.
Clearly, hearing that the Earth Dragon Association had only one Saint, Ning Hesheng started to have ideas, either preparing to replace them or planning a heist.
Lin Chen asked, "What is the strength of the Earth Dragon Association’s chairman?"
The waiter shook his head, "How would I know? Everyone just knows he’s a Saint, but his exact strength is unknown to outsiders."
Lin Chen nodded, turning the topic back to the Yingyue Sect: "Was the Yingyue Sect completely annihilated, all dead? Or did so many die that their strength diminished, moving elsewhere?"
The waiter shook his head, "That I don’t know, as far as we’re concerned, the Yingyue Sect is already a legendary sect."
Lin Chen asked, "Do you know the exact location of the Yingyue Sect?"
The waiter shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
Lin Chen didn’t press him further and let him go.
Ning Hesheng said, "What exactly are you looking for?"
Lin Chen laughed, "An elderly person asked to find sothing for him, I promised, and I have to try my best."
Lin Chen hadn’t yet told Ning Hesheng about the Creation God, thinking it’s not really important whether he knows or not.
Ning Hesheng saw that Lin Chen didn’t want to elaborate, so he stopped asking and leaned his head closer by a couple of inches.
"The Earth Dragon Association has one Saint, we have four, should we do a job?"
Lin Chen laughed, "Do you want to seize territory, or snatch the resources in his hands?"
Ning Hesheng chuckled, "A child would make a choice, adults want it all! Here, far from the major forces, is quite suitable as our initial base of operations. Once we control the Earth Dragon Association, we can then expand outward, annex the surrounding smaller forces, and fuse them together. We can beco a major landlord, collecting rent every day, and earn a fortune."
Lin Chen nodded, "It’s not impossible, but let’s first visit the ruins of the Yingyue Sect and see if there’s any discovery."
"Let’s have dinner first, later we’ll inquire more in the city. Despite being destroyed, the Yingyue Sect was a major sect, soone should be interested in its ruins."
After the al, the two of them scoured the city, asking around for news of the Yingyue Sect.
They asked nurous people, most of whom had vaguely heard the legend of the Yingyue Sect, but couldn’t provide details. A small portion had no impression at all.
Until Lin Chen asked an extrely elderly Xuan Turtle Clan mber, who spoke words that made Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly light up.
"The ruins of the Yingyue Sect, I know where it is, but you’d better not go. You’re so young, dying would be too unfortunate..."
Lin Chen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Wasn’t the Yingyue Sect destroyed?"
The old man sighed, "Yes, the Yingyue Sect was destroyed, but who knows if there’s a mysterious array formation still in the ruins? Many adventurers who went there hoping to get so goodies died inside, silent and traceless. There’s a rumor that the remnant souls of Yingyue Sect powerhouses linger there, appearing at certain special tis."
"Because the Yingyue Sect was destroyed, these remnant souls bear a grudge, venting on all adventurers who co to the ruins, treating them as their old enemies..."
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Does everyone who explores the ruins die?"
"Not really."
The old man replied, "So died, others left unhard, with no pattern to it. If you don’t wish to die, it’s best not to go. Otherwise, how would you know if you’ll be the one to die?"
Haunted?
Leftover array formations?
So died, so survived?
Sothing’s fishy!
Could this have sothing to do with Modier?
