Chapter 1583: Chapter 1583 I’m just kidding with you

Within the Hall of Life and Death were mountains of skeletons, with no clear cause of death apparent!

Jiang Xiaobai felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!

"Could it be that all these people were from the Heavenly Court?"

"From what I remember, even the least powerful among those serving in the Heavenly Court had to at least become immortals..."

Mumbling to himself, Jiang Xiaobai slowly approached the Hall of Life and Death while carefully searching with his psychic senses, looking for any lingering dangers.

He didn’t discover anything abnormal until he entered and finally began to examine the skeletons on the ground.

They all had one thing in common—all their heads were turned outwards, and many were sprawled on the ground with their hands, as if trying to crawl out.

Jiang Xiaobai looked towards the center of the Hall of Life and Death, where indeed there was an empty space; whatever had been there originally was now unknown, leaving behind numerous cracks on the ground with a pit at the center.

It seemed as if something had exploded here?

"Did all these people try to flee before dying? What were they doing here? What did they encounter that made them want to escape? And what is this Hall of Life and Death?"

Jiang Xiaobai’s mind was filled with questions; he knew nothing of the origins of Heaven and Earth Mausoleum City, let alone the buildings and events that had occurred within.

The only one who might know anything, Qingquan... this woman had forgotten many things...

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and decided not to pursue that line of thought. He continued his careful observation, and after a while, he came up with a conjecture.

These people had come to the Hall of Life and Death for some purpose, perhaps related to something at the center, but something went wrong, and they tried to escape without any chance of success.

Could the only one who escaped have died before managing to use this token to send a message?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the skeletons outside, his brow tightly furrowed, and continued exploring the Hall of Life and Death.

Heaven and Earth Mausoleum City had existed for endless years; many people knew of it, and each time it appeared, people would enter to search for opportunities.

It could be said that anything worth taking had been taken, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t hold much hope of finding anything. Yet, he noticed one skeleton was facing the wrong direction!

"Everyone was crawling to get out, so why is this one crawling towards the back of the hall?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the misfit skeleton on the ground and then followed its trajectory in the opposite direction, only to discover a crack in the wall!

Nestled within the crack was a starlight-shimmering fragment, its glow was faint; if not for Jiang Xiaobai discovering the skeleton, it would have remained undetected!

Just as he reached out to dig out the fragment, a delicate hand grabbed his wrist.

"Don’t touch it."

The icy voice of Qingquan came through, genuinely startling Jiang Xiaobai, who quickly jumped back, about to protest but then froze.

Why was she holding a person?

"Holy crap, isn’t that... Ao Yuan?"

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded: "What have you done to him? Is he dead?"

"Not dead, just knocked out," Qingquan replied indifferently, casually tossing Ao Yuan amidst the pile of skeletons in the corner: "Why, do you know this guy?"

"Um... he’s a friend of mine. If he has offended you in any way, please be tolerant."

Jiang Xiaobai hastily said.

Ao Yuan was one of his own; he had to save him!

"He didn’t provoke me, but if he did... it’s only because he’s of the Dragon Clan that he tried to dig out the fragment. To properly preserve that fragment, dragon blood is needed."

After Qingquan spoke, Jiang Xiaobai was still absent-mindedly nodding when he suddenly sensed something amiss.

"You remember now?"

Qingquan nodded: "Some things are coming back to me, but I have no recollection of the root cause. What I do remember... I experienced a great battle here in this city, a battle for the ages..."

She pointed to the fragment on the wall: "That object is a piece of a treasured artifact, and would you believe it, it’s my artifact..."

"What kind of treasure is it, what’s it for, and how powerful?"

"Don’t know."

"...Then why do you say it’s your treasure?"

"Because I shattered it in a great battle."

Qingquan said indifferently, "I can’t remember what it is, but the moment I saw it, many pieces of information surfaced in my mind, as if piecing it together could reassemble..."

"But it has to have dragon blood, right?" Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. "What’s with you Asuras, how can you have anything to do with the dragon race?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. If you want to help me, if you want me to recover more memories, just don’t get in the way or ask too many questions..."

Qingquan said this and looked at Ao Yuan, who was lying on the ground as if dead: "I really need some dragon blood, consider it a favor I owe you."

"Cough cough... Owed favors and all, why would I care about that... On another note, how much dragon blood do you need? You’re not planning on draining this kid dry, are you?"

Qingquan tilted her head looking at Jiang Xiaobai: "If I said I wanted to drain him dry, would you stop me?"

"Ah, this..."

At this point, Ao Yuan, who had long since awoken, could no longer feign unconsciousness; he trembled as he opened his eyes and hurriedly hugged Jiang Xiaobai’s thigh.

"Big brother!"

"Brother, you can’t let this demoness drain my blood, I mean, I, Ao Yuan, may not be a good guy, and I may not have much strength, but I have a status in the East Sea Dragon Palace, I can help you, brother!"

"Brother, save me!"

In fact, Ao Yuan had woken up when Qingquan threw him down, but he dared not open his eyes. Later, when he heard this woman say she was going to drain him, damn, how could he endure that?

He immediately pretended to be a corpse, seeking a way to save his life.

Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched: "Cough cough... Draining you dry is out of the question, you..."

"I was just kidding with you."

Qingquan said expressionlessly: "I just need a drop of essence blood."

"..."

At this, both Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Yuan were unsettled.

Jiang Xiaobai was genuinely taken aback, not expecting that this individual, who is possibly the Asura queen, would actually have such a wicked sense of humor.

She must have realized that Ao Yuan was awake all along, right?

Glancing casually at the two of them, Qingquan didn’t hesitate to grab Ao Yuan, drawing a drop of essence blood amidst his screams and howls. Then, the essence blood, thick with the aura of a true dragon, was controlled by Qingquan to envelop the fragment.

"All right, I’m going to look for the other fragments now."

Having said that, Qingquan was ready to leave with Ao Yuan in tow, and Jiang Xiaobai quickly tried to stop her.

"Hold on, don’t rush off just yet..."

"Don’t worry, there aren’t many fragments. I won’t drain him dry."

Ao Yuan: "???"

Are you seriously planning on draining me dry before you call it quits?

"It’s not that... What did you think of, can you tell me?"

"Besides, I need the blood coffin, it has a significant use."

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai no longer cared about guessing why Ao Yuan ended up here, he was just curious what Qingquan thought of, as this relates to the origin of the Celestial Burial City, as well as what happened in the past.

And more importantly, that blood coffin!

Qingquan tilted her head and thought: "Not much, just bits and pieces. I only know that the treasure was shattered into many fragments. Now that I have this one, I can find the others, and perhaps by wandering around, I can remember more."

"You can have the blood coffin, just don’t hinder my quest for my memories."
