After talking about the Black Tortoise, Ying Zheng immediately activated the Blood Magic Formation and brought Hongyu to another underground palace to look for the last Grand Shaman, Chang 'e. Meanwhile, Guhan and Liunian Ling waited quietly for Yaoguang's return in this underground palace.
About an hour later, Ying Zheng came back with a face full of bad luck.
It turned out that the Grand Shaman, Chang 'e, had run away with the last drop of Zu Wu's blood essence. Shanhai Pass was a huge place, and it was impossible for Ying Zheng to find Chang' e's current location. Therefore, the last drop of Zu Wu's blood essence was completely lost.
Left with no choice, they could only return to the Taiyin Star Garrison according to their original plan.
When Guhan, Liunian Ling, Yaoguang, and Hongyu returned to the Taiyin Star Garrison, the entire Shanhai Pass was in an uproar. None of the sword-bearers had expected Guhan to single-handedly rescue Liunian Ling and Yaoguang.
The Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee immediately reported the news of Liunian Ling's rescue to the Liunian Clan. However, they heard that the Liunian Clan was very calm. After all, for the Liunian Clan, their heirs had been in danger of losing their lives many times over the past thousand years, but they always managed to survive. So, the Liunian Clan had gradually become indifferent to it. After expressing their gratitude to the Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee, they hung up the communication.
After that, Gu Han immediately contacted the Shanhai Pass Management Committee and the Sword Committee Headquarters. According to the story he had discussed with Ying Zheng in the underground palace, he reported to the Shanhai Pass Management Committee and the Sword Committee Headquarters that the Grand Sorcerer had been resurrected in the Land of Ancestral Sorcerers, and that he, Yao Guang, who he had rescued, and Hong Yu, the guardian of the Sun Star who had come from afar, were going to fight together.
In the end, the twelve Grand Shamans gained a great advantage with the power of Zu Wu's blood essence. Guhan, Ying Zheng, and Hongyu were gradually losing ground. Hongyu was severely injured, so Ying Zheng had to reveal his identity as Emperor Qin and the Wu people. He forcibly absorbed all of Zu Wu's blood essence and defeated the twelve Grand Shamans, killing eleven of them. However, the last Grand Shaman, Chang 'e, escaped.
As Hongyu was severely injured, she could no longer assume the position of the guardian of the Sun Star. So, Hongyu broke her Great Zhou Tian Star Star Banner and passed the position to Liunian Ling.
Ying Zheng also passed the position of the guardian of the Sun Star to Guhan.
At first, the Sword Committee Headquarters did not believe Guhan's story. They found it hard to believe that the Qin Shihuang from three thousand years ago was still alive in this world.
But when Ying Zheng told them many secrets that could only be known by those who had personally experienced it, and brought out many pieces of evidence that could only be found in that era, including a video of himself celebrating his birthday with the fleeting calendar, and a bottle of emperor's blood that he had carefully kept, the Sword Committee Headquarters had no choice but to change their attitude from disbelief to skepticism.
Therefore, the Sword Committee Headquarters and the Administrative Committee of Shanhai Pass ordered Ying Zheng to return to the Sword Committee Headquarters immediately to be questioned by them, while Guhan and Liunian Ling stayed in Shanhai Pass with peace of mind, commanding the Taiyin Star Garrison and the Sun Star Garrison, maintaining the basic order of the management, while waiting for the investigation team from the Sword Committee Headquarters to be stationed in Shanhai Pass.
However, Ying Zheng did not leave Shanhai Pass immediately. Instead, he stayed in Shanhai Pass, searching through every grass and tree in the city, trying to find the last trace of the Grand Shaman, Chang 'e.
Unfortunately, even when the investigation team was stationed in Shanhai Pass, Ying Zheng still could not find any trace of Chang 'e. He had no choice but to leave Shanhai Pass gloomily.
However, Guhan noticed that Ying Zheng did not look too depressed. This meant that either Ying Zheng was able to achieve the realm of Zu Wu with just eleven drops of Zu Wu's blood essence, or Ying Zheng had some other way to get his hands on Zu Wu's blood essence.
But no matter what the result was, Guhan had nothing to do with Ying Zheng for the time being.
…
Back to the night of the battle in the land of Zu Wu. After dealing with the Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee and the Sword Committee Headquarters, it was already late at night. Guhan felt like his head was about to explode. Although he had already guessed that Gu Xuan Wu would have such a conflict with Kenzu after he returned to the past, he did not expect that the conflict would be so deep. Kenzu had activated the Great Cultural Destruction for Gu Xuan Wu, and Gu Xuan Wu might have surpassed the Emperor Sword level sword-bearers and reached an unprecedented height.
But at the same time, this gave Guhan a glimmer of hope. Since Gu Xuan Wu had surpassed Jiandi and was still alive after four hundred years, was it possible that Gu Xuan Wu was still alive somewhere in this world?
While Guhan was thinking about Gu Xuan Wu, Liunian Ling was not having a good time either. She could not believe that her ancestor had activated the Great Cultural Destruction for Gu Xuan Wu. After tossing and turning in bed for two hours, she could not help but call her grandfather, Fleeting Wooden Fish.
"What's wrong, my precious granddaughter?"
Fleeting Wooden Fish appeared in front of Liunian Ling with a smile. He first looked at Liunian Ling carefully through the virtual image. After making sure that Liunian Ling was not missing an arm or a leg and that the amulet on her neck was still there, he smiled happily.
"I knew that my precious granddaughter would come back safe and sound. How can the heir of the Liunian Family not experience any hardships!"
During the few days that Liunian Ling had been missing, Fleeting Wooden Fish and the Liunian Family had been very calm. However, only Fleeting Wooden Fish knew how worried they were.
"Grandpa!"
Liunian Ling knew that Fleeting Wooden Fish's words were filled with concern and concern. She could not help but ask, "Grandpa, Ling has a question that I'm not sure if I should ask?"
"Ask away!
There's nothing that grandpa can't answer! "
Fleeting Wooden Fish chuckled as he stroked his beard, "Linlin, I'm guessing that you're going to ask your grandfather if Ying Zheng is the same Qin Shihuang from 3,000 years ago.
Although Grandpa didn't believe that a person could live for three thousand years, 'Fleeting Years Monogatari' clearly stated that he had once dated Emperor Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. Furthermore, they were good friends and had even become sworn brothers!
I didn't think that he would still be alive, and that you would have the chance to meet him, Ling. What a joke! "
"Grandpa, I'm afraid that there were more than two people who became sworn brothers with our ancestor …" Liunian Ling spoke up. Fleeting Wooden Fish was completely stunned. He could not help but ask after a long moment of silence, "Ling, did that Ying Zheng tell you something that's not true?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but he just told me that there weren't two people who were defeated by the Old Ancestor, but three people, and one of them was called Gu Xuanwu!" Fleeting Time Lin said loudly.
"Ridiculous!
You're talking nonsense! "
Fleeting Wooden Fish immediately retorted, "Ying Zheng has lived for more than 3,000 years, and has been reincarnated over and over again. He's long gone mad, and everything he says is full of lies. Don't believe him! How could our Kenzu have become sworn brothers with a woman called Gu Xuanwu?
Oh, I remember you once told grandpa that Gu Xuanwu is Guhan's sister. How could she have gone back 1,000 years to become sworn brothers with our ancestor? "
"Grandpa!
Did I tell you that Gu Xuanwu is a woman? "
Fleeting Wooden Fish was once again rendered speechless by Fleeting Time Lin's question. To think that even a sly old fox like him would slip up.
"Grandpa, I've never told you this, but I saw Gu Xuanwu enter the Door of Truth and Eternity. I also saw our ancestor's sword soul pull her into the Door of Truth and Eternity. I saw everything, and I'm sure that Gu Xuanwu has returned to the past, to our ancestor's era. I saw it all with my own eyes!"
Roared Liunian Ling. If not for the soundproofing in the Sun Star Garrison, the entire Sun Star Garrison would have heard her.
"Also, Ying Zheng told me that our ancestor had betrayed his sworn sister in the end. He was the one who sent people to hunt down Gu Xuanwu. In order to hide Gu Xuanwu, he even deliberately created the Great Cultural Destruction. It was our ancestor who destroyed the entire human civilization with his own hands, all to hide his crimes!"
Liunian Ling could no longer hold back her tears, and began to wail, "Grandpa, tell me, is this true?
Is our ancestor really that kind of person?
I'm so sad, so sad! "Fleeting Lin fell to his knees and cried." That's right, I'm so sad! "Fleeting Lin cried.
"Nonsense!
It's fake, it's all fake! "
Fleeting Wooden Fish panicked. He tried to help Fleeting Time Ling up, but he had forgotten that he was only a hologram. He could only grab onto thin air.
"Ying Zheng was still sleeping in the graveyard when those things happened. How would he know what happened?
He doesn't know anything at all! It's all just his irresponsible speculation! "
Retorted Fleeting Wooden Fish, but his retort only made Liunian Ling cry even harder. Liunian Ling discovered that Fleeting Wooden Fish knew exactly when Ying Zheng entered the graveyard and was reborn. This proved that Ying Zheng was telling the truth.
Ying Zheng, Fleeting Wooden Fish, and Gu Xuanwu were sworn siblings!
It was also true that someone was chasing after Gu Xuanwu!
All of this was real!
"Ling, listen to grandpa. There are many things that you don't know about this!"
Fleeting Wooden Fish realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and immediately tried to salvage the situation, "Grandpa can promise you that our ancestor would never cause the Great Cultural Destruction just for Gu Xuanwu. Our ancestor was really deceived. He thought that all of the human civilization would be enough to destroy the foundation of Yuan Kou's existence. He was really deceived!"
Fleeting Wooden Fish stomped his feet as he spoke, trying to make himself more convincing.
"Grandpa, I want to see Fleeting Monogatari with my own eyes!" said Liunian Ling suddenly after a long period of crying.
