Chapter 716 A familiar place (2/2)

“Father, there is something that I would like to ask you for help with.” Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

“Oh?” Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised, “It’s rare that you need to ask me for help, hurry tell me what is troubling you.”

“I would like to ask Father to help me investigate and find all the places in the Cangmang Continent where lightning has struck.”

“Where lightning has struck?” Zhou Qing scrunched his brows in a frown, “There must be a lot, after all it isn’t common, but it also isn’t rare.”

“Is there somewhere that is especially special?”

Zhou Qing said in a deep voice: “I'll have someone investigate.”

Black Venom King suddenly interrupted with an ingratiating smile, “Your Highness, if it’s places where lightning has struck, I know a place that should be considered very special.”

“Oh?”

“I don't know if Your Highness remembers the place we met?” The Black Venom King smiled.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up, “You mean.....Blackwater?!”

When he left the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, the first place he went to train in was the bordering Blackwater

Yaoyao also landed with Tuntun in her arms, a look of surprise crossing her beautiful face as she whispered, “Do you remember the Battle Puppet Sect?”

Zhou Yuan nodded, how could he not remember? His Silver Shadow was found there.

“Do you remember the residual shadows we saw in the underground palace of the Battle Puppet Sect?”

Zhou Yuan’s heart pounded as that memory resurfaced in his mind.

“The prided geniuses of our Sacred race have died here. I declare this place a sinful land that shall receive holy punishment. All life within an eighty thousand mile radius shall be destroyed.”

In the residual shadow of the underground palace, a voice of ruthlessness brought a thunderbolt punishment that destroyed all the sects that existed in Blackwater in the ancient times.

It was also there where he first knew about the existence of the Sacred Race.

Over the years, he also learnt from the ancient books of the Cangxuan Sect that in ancient times, the majority of the Cangxuan Heaven was under the control of the Sacred race. But later, following numerous conflicts, patriarch Cang Xuan stood out and finally won the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, becoming the Heaven Master. So the Sacred race had to withdraw from the Cangxuan Heaven.

And the thunderbolt of destruction punishment in Blackwater should have happened before the patriarch Cang Xuan obtained the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.

So, the sinful land really could be considered the land where lightning struck.

Yaoyao’s bright and clear eyes shifted to Zhou Yuan. “That is indeed a very mysterious place.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. It was indeed very mysterious. That was the place where the Sacred race ruled, and normally speaking, many of the experts were afraid to remember and interact with such a place.

It was a blindspot of many people.

Then, when patriarch Cang Xuan died, would he have deliberately hid the Cangxuan Saint Seal in the so-called sinful land?

With this thought, Zhou Yuan’s heart began to race, because he felt that there really was that possibility!

Zhou Yuan's eyes met Yaoyao’s, noticing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“It seems we have check out the Blackwater again...”

This made Zhou Yuan feel rather emotional. Blackwater had been his first destination after leaving the Great Zhou Empire. He just didn’t expect that, after many years, he was going to return to the familiar place.
