Chapter 216: The Truth That Came To The Surface

He Qingyuan’s face was pale, and his eyes were full of despair. Looking at his crazed expression, it seemed that he had been shocked and went crazy.

“If I knew this would be the result, I should have advised the City Lord against it back then. Otherwise, this matter would not have ended like this. Everything was caused by greed. We are all sinners, we are all guilty…”

He Qingyuan rambled on incoherently, which made Lin Bai even more confused. He could not help but ask, “What exactly is going on?”

“There is nothing to hide from you now.” He Qingyuan sighed as if he was immersed in some kind of memory. He said faintly,

“This used to be an ancient battlefield. It is filled with all kinds of baleful and evil qi. As it lingered around, it condensed into the most evil creature in the world. This creature even gained consciousness…”

Only then did Lin Bai know that this was an ancient battlefield. There had been a great battle between the demons and human cultivators. That battle had lasted for a long time, and countless people had been killed or injured. The world had changed color, and in the end, both sides suffered heavy losses.

However, the murderous and resentful qi had interweaved, causing this place to become a land of death. Living creatures could not step in. As long as they touched it, they would be possessed by this qi and become machines that only knew how to kill.

As time passed, this place became a forbidden area. No one knew the situation here until the aura actually gained sentience. By the time it was discovered, it had already matured, so it could only be sealed and suppressed forever.

After hearing his story, only then did he know the origin of the black aura. No wonder it was so cold and gave people a feeling of fear. It turned out to be the most evil thing in the world.

Lin Bai asked in puzzlement, “Since this thing is so dangerous, can’t we completely destroy it?”

He Qingyuan revealed a bitter smile. “That’s easy to say. It’s easier said than done. This thing was born and raised by the world. It’s an object formed from the resentment of the two races. It was invisible and could not be destroyed by humans. You must know that there were at least tens of thousands of people from the two races who died here back then. At that time, it could be said that blood flowed like a river and bones piled up into a mountain.”

According to the ancient records, the great battle back then was extremely bitter. Even many powerful figures of the two races had fallen. They all possessed the ability to move mountains and overturn seas. These ghosts were unwilling to leave just like that. They stayed here and refused to disappear.

The human cultivators were still fine. However, the demons were originally bloodthirsty and evil. Moreover, after they died, they became incomparably evil. The curse that they had released when they were alive had trapped them here forever, causing their souls to be unable to rest in peace.

At the same time, they completely polluted this land. Even people with a firm mind would be affected here. Under the such various factors, such an evil creature was born.

“Then who sealed it here?”

“It was the original City Lord.”

In order to prevent it from seeing the sun again and harming all living things, they sent people to guard the seal. Even so, the resentful aura would still attack and corrode the seal. It needed to be strengthened at regular intervals to ensure that it would stay here forever and not come out to cause trouble.

As the ancestors of the City Lord had participated in the seal, they had also been chosen to guard it for generations. It could also be considered as the secret of every City Lord. Unfortunately, as time passed, those mighty figures had fallen one after another, the seal had also become unstable.

Lin Bai was still somewhat puzzled. After all, he had never seen any related words in any of the books. “Why hasn’t this matter been mentioned? I don’t think anyone else seems to know about this secret either.”

“That’s because too many years have passed, and many things have already disappeared in the long river of history. In addition, there are not only the souls of the demons in this land, but also the heroic spirits of the human race. We don’t want to disturb their rest, so very few people know about it.”

“Only the past City Lords know how to strengthen the seal in order to avoid being used by someone with ulterior motives, they used this to destroy the seal and release the demons. Originally, this seal could still hold on for some time.”

He Qingyuan seemed to have thought of something, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

“This City Lord unintentionally stepped into the territory of the seal and brought back a magical artifact from the ancient battlefield. That magical artifact was extremely powerful. I thought it was the heroic spirit of the human race, but who would have thought that it was actually from the demon race. Moreover, after the resentful qi gained sentience. It could actually disguise itself. Not only did it wipe away the resentful Qi on the magical artifact, but it also attached its clone to it.”

Due to the passage of time, the seal was somewhat loosened. Although it was still unable to break through the seal, it was able to allow its clone to slip out. At first, it was unable to achieve anything. However, the City Lord fell into its trap and mistakenly thought that it was the artifact spirit of a magical artifact. Hence, the City Lord found treasures and spiritual medicines for it to recuperate.

As the City Lord was corroded by the demonic aura, he initially thought that he was suffering from a strange illness. Subsequently, he was gradually bewitched by it and fell into a trap step by step. By the time he finally realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

Back then, He Qingyuan also knew about this matter. Initially, he thought that the City Lord could control that creature. However, he did not expect that the demon was too cunning and he still fell into its trap.

The City Lord was not suffering from a strange illness. Instead, his mind was corroded by the demonic qi. Unfortunately, he discovered it too late. The things that happened after that were out of their control, so they could only announce that the City Lord was suffering from a strange illness.

In reality, the pills that were refined were all to suppress the demonic qi in his heart, so that it would no longer come out to cause trouble. However, it was only to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. As the demonic qi eroded more and more of the City Lord’s body, it would come out to cause riots every once in a while, controlling the City Lord’s mind to cause trouble.

In order to not let others discover the City Lord’s strange behavior, the City Lord had entered the underground. Firstly, it was to hide from everyone’s eyes and ears. After all, it was not good for this news to spread out. Secondly, it was also to borrow the power of the seal to suppress the demonic qi in his heart.

If the City Lord fell completely and the seal could not be strengthened, it would be able to see the light of day again..
