Chapter 6038: Vengeance
“Your ancestor most likely did more than just being there.” Li Qiye’s brows slightly furrowed.
“Yes, Young n.o.ble, our ancestor partic.i.p.ated in disa.s.sembling the armor.” She agreed.
“For what purpose? To get its core?” Minisun asked.
“I don’t know the details but the ancestor did mention the machine possessing something else. It might not be a part of its body but just in tow. Since it’s so long in the past, we have no idea what it is.” She said.
“Must be something extraordinary.” Li Qiye said. He guessed that the dragon had been carrying it all this time so when it died, the thing was either taken by Desolate Ancestor’s group or destroyed during the killing.
“As far as I know, several amazing progenitors took parts and asked someone to create a frightening weapon. That’s all I know since our ancestor pa.s.sed away in the next war.” She revealed.
“There’s more to this, this alone doesn’t warrant the pursuit.” Li Qiye said.
“Yes, Young n.o.ble.” She took a deep breath and nodded: “Our ancestor left behind something, we believe it is a token to prove partic.i.p.ation in an agreement.”
“He was qualified to be involved, playing a supporting role even if he didn’t partic.i.p.ate in Old Pact itself.” Unrivalled speculated.
“Our ancestor had ties with Life and Death Heaven, having a.s.sisted them before.” She sighed afterward.
The ancestor was once a supreme cultivator and this boosted their clan’s prestige. He befriended the strongest progenitors and primal ancestors, building alliances to stop Mos.h.i.+. Now, their clan had fallen into obscurity.
“I heard something similar.” Minisun agreed: “Your dao saint was held in high regard by Lord of Life and Death, serving as a liaison between the strongest cultivators.”
“Perhaps this so-called Old Pact was arranged by your ancestor, leading to a great war. Given its secrecy, it must have been an a.s.signation, not a fair and open duel.” Unrivalled said.
“Nothing was pa.s.sed down regarding Old Pact.” She said.
“Most sources believe this war happened after Mos.h.i.+’s death. No major conflicts were noted during this period.” Minisun said.
“I agree.” Unrivalled had an impressive knowledge of history and secrets: “Chances are Desolate Ancestor and Lord of Life and Death were involved. I’m unsure about who made this proposal and the target along with the results.”
“It should be aimed at an ancient progenitor, seems like vengeance.” Li Qiye said.
“Vengeance.” Minisun and Unrivalled exchanged glances.
“Show us this token of yours.” Li Qiye said.
“Immortal Suppression must be looking for this. We don’t know what it is, just that it is a token of sorts.” Demon Moon took out the badge without any hesitation. She had been hiding it all along and thought it must be useful in some way.
She didn’t know why Immortal Suppression caught winds of this being in their possession, but it could be the reason behind the pursuit.
The whole sinner thing was irrelevant, the token might be their actual goal. Thus, this started the drifting of her clan to avoid being caught. They fell into obscurity and became safe.
The issue was her exceptional achievements and potential to become a Grand Emperor. Her fame eventually reached Immortal Suppression and the existence of their clan became known again.
“This is from Five-element Mountain.” Li Qiye took a look and said.
“Five-element Mountain.” She had never heard of it.
“An incredibly ancient lineage.” Minisun was surprised to hear this name.
“One of the strongest lineages. It appeared during Immortal Slaughtered and was close to the three immortals. It’s too long ago to know more details.” Unrivalled said.
Rumor has it that Five-element Mountain was ranked first among the ten strongest dao lineages. The mythical three immortals have visited them before in legends.
Why was it no longer around? The most plausible explanation included their close ties to Desolate Ancestor and the immortals. Therefore, they served as the vanguards against Mos.h.i.+.
Was it destroyed by Mos.h.i.+ himself or ravaged during the long war? This couldn’t be verified.
At the very least, no one in Sin has seen members of this lineage any longer or heard any news of them.
“I just happen to know about a city in Phantom named Five-element, it should be related to the dao lineage. We have done some research and found a connection.” UInrivalled said.
“That place might have what I’m searching for.” Li Qiye glanced at the badge and said: “I’m keeping this.”
Demon Moon sighed while staring at it and said: “I cannot protect it any longer, perhaps you will be able to find the answer, Young n.o.ble.”
