155 Hao Qingling (1/2)
”More specific... Let's start with why someone like you is here on this continent.”
”That's quite simple really, but it'll be too boring if I directly give you the answer. So, first tell me the thoughts you already have on the matter.”
”My thoughts? Your from outside this continent, most likely from the Mainland. You came here in search of this, or escaped from your enemies and then found out about this when you came here.”
Thinking for a few seconds, Bai Long continued by saying, ”The only thing I'm unable to figure out is why you set up such a huge and weird Sect.”
”Is it because you are training these women to become your Yin Slaves?”
Lightly clapping her hands, Qingling said, ”Bravo. You've guessed quite a lot. And quite a lot of it is true as well.”
”I did come here from the Mainland. But not because I'm being hunted or any such thing, but because I found the learnt of the Bracelet of Divine Yin being on this island.”
”But once I came here, I was unable to find out where it was due to the map being too old and not much detailed.”
”Therefore, I set this Sect up as a way to sustain myself.”
”In the beginning, I trained the women so that when they reached the end of their potential I'd plunder their Yin and then use it to increase my cultivation.”
”Unfortunately, there is a limit to how much I could increase my cultivation by purely plundering the Yin from women whose cultivation never exceeded the Qi Noble Realm.”
”That's why I was forced to change my plan. Instead of using the Yin I took from them to increase my cultivation, I began using it to increase my lifespan and not die on this remote island.”
'Her cultivation isn't too high. Most likely only one or two realms above the Qi Monarch Realm.'
With such thoughts, Bai Long felt that everything that Qingling said had made sense and properly went along with most of his guesses.
”Does that satisfy your curiosity about me?”
”Almost. What I still can't understand is why someone like you, who most likely was a member of a Sect on the mainland would come so far and spend so many years searching for a treasure which might not even be here.”
Narrowing her eyes a little, Qingling asked, ”Why do you think that I used to belong to a Sect?”
”Those techniques you've been teaching these women inside the Sect, I doubt that you created them. Also, if you did find them somewhere you wouldn't be teaching them to others. Much less to women whom you are rearing to be your food.”
Nodding her head, Qingling honestly said, ”You're right. I did use to belong to a Sect. Technically, I still belong to the same Sect, but more about that later.”
