Chapter 226: Black Sand Grotto-Heaven

Meng Chuan was shocked.

With just a glance at a soul’s memories, he could pry into heavenly secrets to deduce somebody’s ident.i.ty?

Regis G.o.dfiends have all kinds of magical skills. A Creation Supremacy’s techniques are even more unfathomable. With his current strength and status, Meng Chuan only knew about the various skills of Regis G.o.dfiends. He knew very little about Creation Supremacies.

When Qin Wu saw Meng Chuan’s shocked expression, he couldn’t help but smile. “Even I need a precious treasure to pry into heavenly secrets.” With that said, he flipped his hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table, closed his eyes as colorful light emitted from his body. Waves of light entered the bronze mirror.

After a while, an image surfaced on the bronze mirror.

“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked in surprise.

Qin Wu opened his eyes and looked at the bronze mirror. An old man with white hair appeared on the bronze mirror. He had a kind expression, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

“He’s the one responsible for it,” said Qin Wu. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Great Solar G.o.dfiend—Chunyu Mu.”

“Chunyu Mu?” Meng Chuan was shocked. “If I recall correctly, Chunyu Mu should be 178 years old this year! He’s not far from the end of his life. His reputation is also very good. He’s an extremely accomplished Mirage Fiend.”

“Yes.” Qin Wu nodded. “He reached the Realm of Dao when he was 136 years old. He condensed an Essence Soul at the age of 152. Now, his illusions are even more profound and intricate. In the past few years, he has contributed greatly in regards to dealing with demon monarchs.”

Meng Chuan nodded. It was extremely difficult to reach the Realm of Dao and condense an Essence Soul at a young age. That was why Marquis G.o.dfiends were rare. However, past 100 years of age, the number of G.o.dfiends that had reached the Realm of Dao was more than the number of Marquis G.o.dfiends. Zhang Yunfeng, Yang Fang, and Chunyu Mu were examples.

These three were in their 170s and 180s. As an expert that had reached the Realm of Dao with illusions, Chunyu Mu was more useful than Yang Fang.

“Why did he attack my father?” asked Meng Chuan.

“He never knew your father. He’s not related to him, so there’s naturally no reason for him to act,” said Qin Wu. “He’s a G.o.dfiend from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. Someone with a rather high status in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven likely got Chunyu Mu to take action.”

“A mastermind…” Meng Chuan frowned.

He did not know much about Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.

“Your mother, Bai Nianyun, is one of the Bai family’s three Marquis G.o.dfiends. She is also one of the five Grand Yin Holy Maidens. There are too many grudges and disputes amongst them,” said Qin Wu. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven once split because of internal strife. Even Imperial Lord Black Sand died as a result. Although they are now united against the demons, there is still compet.i.tion among the factions.

“They are divided according to the different cultivation systems. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven can be divided into the Black Sand faction, the Grand Yin Holy Hall faction, and the Halberd Holy Hall faction. It’s mainly a compet.i.tion between family clans as they compete for the rights to control Grand Yin Holy Hall and Halberd Holy Hall,” said Qin Wu.

“Rights to control Grand Yin Holy Hall and Halberd Holy Hall? Is it very important?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“The Grand Yin Holy Hall Master and Halberd Holy Hall Master will almost definitely become Creation Supremacies.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan. “Do you think it’s important?”

Meng Chuan was shocked.

“There are quite a number of Grand Yin Holy Maiden candidates. One batch after another is eliminated, and now, there are only five left. Your mother is one of them. The last one to be eliminated from the five will become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master,” said Qin Wu. “Therefore, there are too many possible masterminds behind your father’s attack.

“For example… the other Grand Yin Holy Maidens who have a grudge with your mother or knew about the matter between your mother and father. They wanted to take revenge; thus, attacking your father. Or after your mother became a Marquis G.o.dfiend, the Bai family felt that the matter with your father is a stain on their reputation. They wanted to kill your father, but they didn’t want to be too direct and anger Bai Nianyun. Therefore, they indirectly made Archean Mountain take action.

“Your mother, as the Grand Yin Holy Maiden, has many suitors. Some might’ve learned the secret and, out of hate, ordered the attack on your father.” Qin Wu shook his head and said, “The internal politics of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven is a mess. I really can’t figure out who did it. The easiest way is to capture Chunyu Mu and interrogate him.”

“Capture Chunyu Mu?” Meng Chuan’s heart stirred.

“No.” Qin Wu shook his head. “The G.o.dfiends of each sect are under the jurisdiction of their respective factions. We cannot directly capture them. This is an agreement between the three sects.”

“Can we make Black Sand Grotto-Heaven investigate?” asked Meng Chuan.

“Investigate?” Qin Wu shook his head. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven will definitely side with their G.o.dfiend. Without sufficient evidence, it’s useless.”
