Chapter 561: Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Six: Fusion

Lou Ji’s revealed information brought a sense of unease to Xu Yuan.

The world of "Cangyuan Chronicles" was vast, depicted through millions of characters of text and various plot lines, forming the embryonic shape of a world of immortal cultivation.

Similarly, beneath this entire world existed many, many "sub-worlds."

Secret Realms,

or to say, instances.

These sub-worlds belonging to instances were intricately connected to the fourteen states of the Central Plains, yet they were vaguely detached from it.

Now, under his interference, these sub-worlds of the instances had merged with the main world for the first time.

The blood-colored liquid in the jade bottle came from the mass graves of Wanyao Valley, and now it had appeared elsewhere.

This was not a good omen.

Xu Yuan was acutely aware of how monstrous the characteristics of certain things within those Secret Realms could be.

As a game, these things were strictly "regulated" within an instance, and they almost had no effect on the outside world.

But now things were different.

Once these things were released into the main world, although it might not lead to the extermination of all creatures, it would certainly lead to a major disaster.

Not to mention, just the things he had encountered in the Qionghua Secret Realm and the silent Underground Palace.

The Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree Yuchu, and the King of Aberrant Ghosts Qi.

The former had the ability to bewitch Saints, and the latter possessed an almost invincible infectiousness.

Even though neither was at their peak strength, as beings with intelligence, lurking and slowly regaining power wasn’t difficult for them.

After all,

Tianyan had already said,

due to his existence, Jiatiange, the guardian of the human race, could no longer see the future.

If these two bosses were to be released into the Dayan Territory without anyone noticing...

The Divine Sakura Tree spirit Yuchu wouldn’t matter much.

After all, having taken revenge twenty thousand years ago, she only wished for death, with no desire to create a world containing Jing He.

But the Aberrant Ghost Queen Qi was different. Being a former Semi-Saint Aberrant Ghost, Xu Yuan knew all too well how terrifying that thing could be.

Once released and after careful planning, it would sweep through at least one state or, at worst, afflict several states with calamity.

Considering the current troubled times, such a disaster could provoke a significant reaction...

Xu Yuan felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

In the midst of these thoughts, Xu Yuan turned his gaze toward the seductively dangerous beauty beside him who was emitting the fragrance of otherworldly flowers, his tone serious:

"Sister, when I asked you to investigate this matter earlier, it was because I had heard some related information during my travels."

Lou Ji lowered her gaze, playing with the jade bottle in her hands, her long eyelashes trembling slightly:

"Then... Changtian, do you know where this mass grave is located?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Lou Ji beside him and said ambiguously:

"I’ve heard roughly."

After a pause, seeing that she had no intention of asking about the source of the information, Xu Yuan continued:

"At the bottom of Heiqian Gorge, but I am not very clear about the exact location."

"Is that so."

Lou Ji sighed softly, resting her hands behind her, arching her back with her long hair trailing to the ground, and sighed faintly, "I see."

Xu Yuan watched the bewitching and dangerous creature beside him with slanted eyes:

"Sister, you’re not planning to go there by yourself, are you?"

"What, can’t bear to let me go?"

Lou Ji turned her head to meet his gaze, her serpent-like green pupils seemingly shimmered with translucent threads.

But it was only for a moment. She then shook her head and scoffed lightly:

"It seems not. It appears that Changtian still has some things that he hasn’t shared with his sister."

"...." Xu Yuan.

Sometimes, Xu Yuan truly felt that in front of the high echelons of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he was like someone stripped bare.

Seen through to his underwear with just a glance.

Many things, they deemed unnecessary, so they understood but did not speak out.

Well, except for Xu Changge.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

"The things hidden inside the mass grave are enough to annihilate a sect. Wanyao Valley, if not foolish, will surely keep it tightly concealed."

"Annihilate?" Lou Ji neither agreed nor disagreed.

Xu Yuan looked at her, his eyes certain:

"Just exposing the things inside would make it impossible for the Sect Alliance to tolerate Wanyao Valley. After all, all members of the Sect Alliance are nominally upright sects."

Just like in this world, there are no absolute villains or heroes.

Morality is cheap and can be measured with money.

But morality is also expensive, priceless in fact.

At least after crossing a certain bottom line, as long as one is human, it will not be tolerated.

Of course, the main reason is that before the collapse of order, conflicts over interests had to abide by the rules, and the mass graves of Wanyao Valley had indeed crossed the entire bottom line.

Lou Ji narrowed her eyes at his words, her moist lips curving into a dangerous smile:

"It seems that this mass grave is not simply about ten thousand people, right?"

Xu Yuan took the teapot and poured a cup of Lungching tea for each of them, nodding:

"That’s right, and at the very least, it starts with a hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this number, Lou Ji’s gaze showed no ripples, and she mumbled thoughtfully at her lips:

"In the hundreds of thousands... indeed, that sounds like a lot."

After a pause,

Lou Ji flicked her finger, and the porcelain cup emitted a "ding" sound. She suddenly asked:

"So, how did you come to know about this, Changtian?"

There it was, she asked after all.

Xu Yuan sighed silently in his heart.

"Just kidding, if Changtian doesn’t want to say, then let’s leave it at that."

Seeing his expression, Lou Ji suddenly smiled radiantly: "Everyone has secrets, sister won’t pry."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said in a low voice:

"It’s nothing. The way I found out is pretty straightforward; there was an informant from Wanyao Valley who couldn’t stand the bloodshed and defected."

What he said was the truth.

In his previous life while playing "Cangyuan Chronicles," it was precisely because an informant from Wanyao Valley could no longer endure the bloodshed and fled. Players followed the clues from the quests and eventually discovered that mass grave.
