Chapter 1832 The Source of Drastic Change
The only remaining Qi Refiner is truly a member of the Qu family.
The Qu family is actually a branch of the Xiong family, but after we separated from them, it showed that we are the Qu family and have nothing to do with the Xiong family.
Hedong Town, one of the upper three towns, is controlled by the Qu family, and the Xiong family’s first ancestral temple is also controlled by the Qu family.
Hedong Town was one of the driving forces behind this war. It did not participate in the war itself, but was only secretly instigating the war.
But who could have imagined that when the catastrophe struck, all the calculations would seem so ridiculous in the face of the tremendous force.
Qu Jianlei and others have been exploring for many days. This small world is not very big, and they are very clear about the distribution of various forces.
Although the Qu family is only a side branch, it currently controls the ancestral temple and Hedong Town, and its strength is unquestionable.
The key is that they may be holding even more ancient heritage in their hands.
At the very least, all the people in the small world were taken away, and the only survivors were the Qu family.
Qu Jianlei sensed it carefully and confirmed that there was no demonic aura on this person.
His eyes swept across the man's neck and he spoke calmly, "Name, identity..."
He looked blankly for at least seven or eight minutes before he looked at Qu Jianlei and his group.
Although he was a little absent-minded, he still answered subconsciously, "Qu Shitong, are you all... from the ancestral temple?"
No matter how shocked he was, he could tell that the people opposite him were definitely more than just in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The huge cloud crown in the sky should be controlled by these people.
All his relatives, friends, enemies... were all captured by Yunguan, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
However, he couldn't hate it. If it weren't for the changes in the past six days...it would be hard to say.
He didn't want to recall the changes that happened in these six days at all - what a tragedy it was!
For some unknown reason, my former friends and relatives became alienated in an instant.
Those with good character can still control themselves, but those with bad character simply lose their minds and start killing indiscriminately without distinguishing between enemies and friends.
The same clan fought against each other, relatives and friends raped each other's daughters, and people ate each other... What a tragic scene!
Qu Shitong, who was at a high level of Qi Refining, also tried to stop it, but... it was useless. He himself almost died at the hands of his clan brother.
He thinks others are abnormal, and others think he is abnormal too, and he wants to kill them as soon as possible!
Two uncles who were still sane told him one after another: Something happened, protect yourself first, you may be the only hope of the clan!
This was sincere advice they both gave during their rare moments of clarity.
Qu Shitong was born into the eldest branch of the Qu family. Although the family is currently in decline, its status and position are still not low.
And he is also one of the young men in the clan who has the potential to build a foundation.
With the help of these two uncles, Qu Shitong hid himself, but not long after, he was discovered...
Those alienated tribesmen have extremely strong perception, and he can't hide for long anywhere.
In order to protect himself, he had to attack his alienated relatives and friends, and then find a new place to hide.
That kind of experience and feeling...these six days really felt like a year to him.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied calmly, "We have nothing to do with the ancestral temple. Answer my question first."
Qu Shitong was a little too stimulated. He was obviously stunned when he heard this. "If it's not the ancestral temple, then where are you from?"
Who are you talking to? Qu Jianlei wanted to argue with him, but after thinking about what happened in the end, he gave up.
"Don't worry about where we come from. What about my question to you?"
Qu Shitong's mind was still confused. When he heard the other party repeating the question, he thought of the other party's strength and recounted his experience.
After listening to his general statement, Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Have you never prepared similar precautions?"
"Who would have thought that this would happen?" Qu Shitong answered subconsciously.
Then he was stunned again, "What kind of disaster is this?"
Although he was in a trance, he was certain that these people were definitely from outside and might have relevant answers.
"Invaded by the demonic energy," Qu Jianlei frowned, "You haven't even heard of this?"
"Of course I've heard of the Heavenly Demon, but..." Qu Shitong answered without hesitation. "Isn't that the inner demon of a high-level cultivator?"
As a cultivator, he has no lack of relevant knowledge. However, according to common sense, he must have at least reached the stage of foundation building before he would have inner demons, right?
Encountering a demon during the Qi Refining Stage... This statement is unheard of. Even if it is true, it should be a case of possession.
The current situation was beyond his understanding.
"Your little world is a little different," Qu Jianlei was too lazy to say more.
The world of immortal cultivation is so vast that any strange things can happen. However, this person is still constrained by the small world and his thinking is not broad enough.
Hearing the word "small world", Qu Shitong thought of the other party's identity again.
"Where on earth did you come from? Could it be that you are the one who caused the changes in this little world?"
"How do you talk?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "Didn't your elders teach you how to communicate with those in higher positions?"
"I was wrong, please forgive me, senior," Qu Shitong responded readily.
Even though the upper limit of this small world is not high, it also has strict hierarchy. Anyone who offends the foundation-building ancestor will definitely be sentenced to death.
However, this tragedy had dealt him such a heavy blow that he couldn't help but ask, "Did you happen to be passing by?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "How could you, who are in charge of this world, cause such a disaster?"
He knew very well that the tragedy was indeed caused by paranoia, but the blame could not be put on the team.
If they hadn't come, the small world would probably have become a paradise for the devil in some time.
"Guard..." Qu Shitong muttered softly, then shook his head.
Of course he knew this old saying, but that was a long time ago and people's ideas here have changed a lot.
He smiled bitterly, "We were just exiled from the Immortal Cultivation World. What's the point of talking about guarding it?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "No wonder, it seems that this is why the demons have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
He didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and asked, "You weren't affected because of your jade pendant?"
There was a not-so-big jade pendant hanging under the other person's neck - it should be made of jade, right?
Qu Shitong subconsciously touched his neck, then shook his head, "I don't know, this is passed down from my ancestors."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he was not affected because of this pendant.
During these few days, he would occasionally have an impulse in his mind.
But every time that happened, a cool breath would emanate from the jade pendant, which would restore his consciousness.
This pendant is indeed an heirloom, and can be traced back to the first generation of the Xiong family who came to this small world.
Later, when the Qu family separated from the Xiong family, they took the pendant with them.
But before the tragedy, it had never shown any magical properties.
So generally speaking, this is just a thought left by our ancestors - or from the perspective of cultural relics, it also has some value.
He is the eldest son of the Qu family. He got this thing when he was a child and has kept it as a treasure.
But he never expected that this thing would eventually save his life.
Qu Jianlei sensed that he was saying one thing and thinking another, and shook his head disapprovingly.
"We don't have the habit of taking things from the younger generation. I hope you'll tell the truth!"
"The main reason why the demons launched this attack was that someone from the Xiong family colluded with the demons... Do you think you can clear yourself of this?"
"The Xiong family... is colluding with the devil?" Qu Shitong was petrified when he heard this.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that this could be blamed on him.
Although the sayings of the devil and the like are already legends, the Qu family has always regarded themselves as the descendants of immortal cultivators.
There is quite a lot of relevant knowledge in the family. He even knows that anyone who colludes with the devil will be killed by anyone.
In view of this, Qu Shitong subconsciously retorted, "Senior, you may be mistaken... I am from the Qu family."
"Is it interesting to tell me this?" Qu Jianlei asked back, then raised his chin.
"Tell us everything clearly, otherwise it will be too late to regret when we start searching your soul!"
Judging from his tone, there was no room for negotiation, and Qu Shitong became a little anxious.
Now that there was no one around, his life was in the hands of the other party. "Senior, we have been separated for a long time... What do you want to know?"
As it turned out, Qu Shitong didn't know much more than Xiong Shimao - although the Xiong family didn't have the jade pendant, it was still the main branch.
Qu Jianlei listened and asked a few questions from time to time.
This person is most likely the only one left in this small world, and he is mentally normal. If possible, he does not want to search his soul.
However, as he asked questions, Qu Shitong also understood that it was Xiong Chumo who was in trouble.
Xiong Chumo is also well-known in the entire small world. Even the Qu family, a side branch, regards him as their pride.
Of course, when it comes to specific interests, that is another matter, but this does not prevent the Qu family from appreciating him.
When he heard that the disaster was caused by this person, Qu Shitong was speechless. It took a long time before he spoke through gritted teeth.
"There really aren't any good people in the main branch... they're causing a lot of harm!"
Qu Jianlei said calmly, "We dug out Xiong Chumo's body, and it has a very obvious demonic aura."
"Dig out... a body?" Qu Shitong was stunned at first, then he made up his mind, "You seniors are so sharp-eyed. I admire you!"
Digging up ancestral graves is an irreconcilable blood feud, and the Xiong and Qu families have the same ancestor.
But now, he obviously couldn't care.
"I haven't finished what I said," Qu Jianlei looked at him and said calmly, "Now, we need to find out the origin of his inheritance..."
"This is..." Qu Shitong's face changed, it was as ugly as it could be.
Xiong Chumo is already the ancestor of the current new branch of the Xiong family. If we still need to trace the roots, where would we look?
The first ancestral temple of the Xiong family is also the ancestral temple of the Qu family - are they going to dig up the bodies of my ancestors?
He believed that the other party could definitely do it, as that was how things worked in the world of immortal cultivation.
If there is a clear gap in realm between the two parties, then the words of the stronger person will be effective.
