Chapter 204 The Cruel Truth
"Shu Shu, tell me... tell me why they want to dig out other people's spiritual roots. I told you I would find a way! Why don't they believe me?!"
"Shu Shu, tell me... tell me why they want to dig out other people's spiritual roots. I told you I would find a way! Why don't they believe me?!"
"Shu Shu, tell me... tell me why they want to dig out other people's spiritual roots. I told you I would find a way! Why don't they believe me?!"
……
This sentence kept playing in Lin Xia's mind, shocking him so much that the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing. He sat there in a daze, not even noticing that the chopsticks in his hand had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, everything that had happened before, which was beyond Lin Xia's control, was connected together at this moment.
At this moment, those threads of clues were about to converge into a truth that Lin Xia could hardly bear.
They? Who are they? Among these “them” must be Shangguan Yanxi.
That's right, why would he care so much about a forbidden technique that Shangguan Jingyu only mentioned once? It's cause and effect!
That's because the access control technique has a causal connection with myself.
Digging for spiritual roots! Fire spiritual roots! The Flame Secret Realm! Shangguan Yanxi? His own mother, Su Lingxue!
Yes, that must be the case. These people dug out their mother's fire spirit root in the Yanhuo Secret Realm, took it out, and then planted it into Shangguan Yanxi's body.
Therefore, the ancient teleportation array connecting the Yanhuo Secret Realm to the Qianyuan Continent was not damaged for no reason, but was deliberately damaged by these people, the monks of the Shangguan family who were good at formations.
What is the purpose? The purpose is to keep this truth forever sealed, to bury the sins of the Shangguan family forever.
When everything became clear to him, Lin Xia suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was shivering from the cold, as if he had been soaked in a thousand-year-old ice pool.
The causal relationship is correct, but what Lin Xia never expected was that there was such a cruel truth behind the cause and effect.
It turned out that his mother Su Lingxue had her spiritual roots dug out by these people, so she was stranded in the mortal world without knowing it. She became someone else's concubine without any resistance and never regained her memory until her death.
That's why his uncle Su Linghan searched the entire Qianyuan Continent but couldn't find any clues about his fellow sister Su Lingxue.
That's why I lost my mother at a young age and became a foolish orphan with no one to rely on in the general's mansion.
All the tragedies started from here.
Lin Xia was overwhelmed by the immense grief. She didn't know whether to pity her mother, her uncle, or herself.
How could this be so absurd?! How could this be so cruel?!
Lin Xia knew from the beginning that the world of cultivation was not just for cultivators, but that there were also mortals. However, she never imagined that someone would dig out another person's spiritual roots while they were still alive in order to cultivate themselves.
This is despised by all cultivators in the world of cultivation, and is also not allowed by the way of heaven. Any cultivator who does this will undoubtedly have a bad ending. Even if they have spiritual roots, they will never go far.
After the grief, boundless hatred turned into huge waves and attacked Lin Xia. Thinking of how he had diligently refined pills for the Shangguan family for several years, Lin Xia's blood seemed to flow backwards and he couldn't help shaking.
……
On the other side, Shangguan Jingyu had no idea what he had said, nor the kind of blow he had brought to Lin Xia. He was still drunkenly talking, "Master, Aunt Hua, Yan Xi, why are you doing this? Why?!"
Aunt Hua? What a great Aunt Hua! If I remember correctly, Shangguan Yanxi's late mother was named Zhang Lihua.
Good! Very good! Zhang Lihua is already dead, so we can only let it go. But Shangguan Xiong, and Shangguan Yanxi, don't even think about escaping! Lin Xia doesn't want to let any of the Shangguan family cultivators who participated in this incident go.
Shangguan Jingyu had never been drunk like this before because he had too many heavy secrets hidden in his heart. But this time, this only time when he opened his heart, he let out all the secrets in his heart, the only secret that could not be spoken.
The truth was almost as Lin Xia had guessed.
That happened many years ago. At that time, Shangguan Lifeng, the only son of Shangguan Xiong, the head of the Shangguan family, went out to gain experience with other children of the family. Due to a misjudgment, he underestimated the strength of a high-level monster and never came back.
At that time, Shangguan Lifeng's Taoist partner, Zhang Lihua, a disciple who defected from the Soul-Devouring Sect, a notorious independent sect in Tianyan Continent, was already pregnant. Upon hearing the tragic news, she almost lost both her life and her life.
If Shangguan Xiong had not supplied her with spiritual energy in time, and if the alchemist of the Shangguan family had not tried his best to treat her, Zhang Lihua might not have survived.
But even so, this ordeal hurt the fetus in Zhang Lihua's belly. A few months later, Zhang Lihua gave birth to a child without any talent for cultivation. This child is the current Shangguan Yanxi.
The lack of talent for cultivation means that the child has no spiritual roots at all, and is not even as good as an ordinary cultivator with mixed spiritual roots. He is destined to have no chance to embark on the path of cultivation.
But how could Shangguan Xiong, who had already lost his own son, accept this? And how could Zhang Lihua, who had also lost her beloved, accept this?
Under the double blow, a bold idea came to Zhang Lihua's mind. She wanted to dig a spiritual root for her daughter so that her daughter could also see the vast world of cultivation.
She is not reconciled!
Zhang Lihua was originally a disciple of the notorious independent cultivator sect in Tianyan Continent - the Soul-Devouring Sect. However, when she accidentally learned early on that several major families in Cangqiong Continent and Dongyang Continent planned to unite to wipe out this independent cultivator sect that was causing trouble in the area, she took the initiative to surrender. Not only did she bring people from several major families to eradicate the Soul-Devouring Sect, she also took the opportunity to kill all the cultivators in the sect who were against her.
From then on, Zhang Lihua transformed herself into a model of turning from darkness to light. During their long relationship, she captured the heart of Shangguan Lifeng, the son of Shangguan Xiong, the head of the Shangguan family. A few years later, she was welcomed into the Shangguan family by eight lion horses.
As a former disciple of the Soul-Devouring Sect, Zhang Lihua is the last disciple of the entire Soul-Devouring Sect.
He is also the only disciple left in the entire Tianyan Continent who has mastered the supreme secret technique of the Soul-Devouring Sect.
For Zhang Lihua, digging out other people's spiritual roots and planting them on her own daughter is just returning to her old job.
Of course, such a big thing cannot be accomplished by Zhang Lihua alone. There must be a driving force behind it, and that person is Shangguan Xiong.
In order not to attract the attention of other cultivators, Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Xiong even set their sights on the Yanhuo Secret Realm that connected several cultivation continents.
