Qin Chu left, and the Silver Moon Palace Master kept thinking. She felt that some things were unreasonable. The Vermilion Bird Holy Land and Black Tortoise Holy Land people were extremely brutal in their pursuit of Qin Lingxi, but they wouldn't attack ordinary people.
After thinking for a moment, the Silver Moon Palace Master left the pavilion and caught up with Qin Chu.
"Senior, is there something else?" Qin Chu, who had already reached the Silver Moon Palace's mountain gate, looked at the Silver Moon Palace Master and asked.
"The people of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and Black Tortoise Holy Land shouldn't attack ordinary people. Is your information wrong? Or would you like to stay, and I'll help you investigate!" the Silver Moon Palace Master said.
"This can't be wrong. Senior Mo Daozi deduced this for Junior. Also, there's one more thing I'd like to ask Palace Master. Was there a man in green robes accompanying the Vermilion Bird Holy Land's princess back then?" Qin Chu asked, looking at the Silver Moon Palace Master.
"Yes, he was a death warrior from the Black Tortoise Holy Land, always protecting the Vermilion Bird Clan's Young Clan Chief and Young Madam. Later, he was ordered to protect the child of the Vermilion Bird Clan's Young Clan Chief and Young Madam and stayed with Qin Lingxi, but they were separated, and his whereabouts are unknown!" the Silver Moon Palace Master said.
Qin Chu cupped his fists towards the Silver Moon Palace Master, then flashed away. He knew everything he needed to know. He hadn't expected this trip to the Silver Moon Palace, which he thought would be troublesome, to yield so much information he needed.
After buying a beast carriage in Silver Moon City, Qin Chu continued his journey to the Holy Land of Central State. He now had a general idea of the situation and needed to understand the current state of the Holy Land of Central State.
The Silver Moon Palace Master returned to her courtyard, pinching the bridge of her nose in thought. She just felt that something wasn't right.
At this moment, Elder Xue, leaning on a cane, arrived at the Silver Moon Palace Master's courtyard.
"Elder Xue, you're here," the Silver Moon Palace Master greeted.
"Palace Master, I feel something is off. The matter doesn't seem as simple as Qin Chu said. Back then, the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and Black Tortoise Holy Land's pursuit of Qin Lingxi caused a huge stir, but only a limited number of people knew about it, and it didn't cause too much collateral damage. The involvement of innocents shouldn't have happened; even if it did, they would have been silenced!" Elder Xue said.
"Even if Qin Lingxi sought refuge, she would have sought it from a major power. If he was involved, then Qin Chu's Family background shouldn't be unknown. Why didn't he mention it? Can a small, ordinary Family produce a Genius who controls Sword Spirit Realm and Sword Intent? Perhaps only Mo Daozi knows. I just have a feeling something isn't right, but it's just a feeling!" the Silver Moon Palace Master said.
"He resembles Qin Lingxi in his eyes and brows. His surname is Qin... Could it be, could he be a member of the Vermilion Bird Clan?" Elder Xue's face was full of surprise; she was startled by her own thought.
"That's not right either. Besides that death warrior, Qin Lingxi only had that child with her back then, no one else. That child... Could he be that child? No, that's not right. Qin Lingxi's hair turned white instantly; that child died!" the Silver Moon Palace Master said.
Elder Xue fell silent because, not being an eyewitness, it was difficult to know the details.
"Since the matter involves Lingxi, I need to investigate. Once the war with the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty stabilizes, I will go to Southern Flame State," the Silver Moon Palace Master said.
Sitting in his newly bought beast carriage, Qin Chu continued his journey towards the Holy Land of Central State. His mind was a bit chaotic. He felt that if there were no errors, he was the child of the Vermilion Bird Clan who was thought to have died. His father was Qin Zhanye, the Young Clan Chief of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Dragon battles in the wilderness… this name was very imposing, but unfortunately, he hadn't found his mother's name.
Qin Chu knew that his mother, whose name he didn't know, was also a powerful Cultivator. Her opponents had concerns and only made their move when his mother was relatively weak after giving birth to him.
His mind was quite chaotic, so Qin Chu stopped the beast carriage, used his Sword Spirit Realm, and Cultivated his sword techniques for a while before continuing his journey.
This encounter with a fifth-stage Heaven Yuan Realm Cultivator made Qin Chu realize his shortcomings: his speed and attack strength were insufficient. Especially in terms of speed, if the opponent was fast, his attacks couldn't hit the target. But he had no choice; a low cultivation base meant weaknesses.
All the way, Qin Chu Cultivated. He wasn't short on Spirit Medicine Pills; what he lacked was time and effort.
Shortly after Qin Chu left the Silver Moon Palace, or rather, at the same time, a piece of news spread: the Silver Moon Palace Master was a sixth-stage King Realm Cultivator. Coupled with Elder Xue of the Silver Moon Palace, the Silver Moon Palace now had two sixth-stage King Realm Cultivators. This caused the previously aggressive attacks of the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty to halt.
The Cold Star Imperial Dynasty also only had two sixth-stage King Realm Cultivators. They dared to attack the Silver Moon Palace before because the Silver Moon Palace only had Elder Xue, one sixth-stage King Realm Cultivator. Even if it came to a fight to the death, the Silver Moon Palace would suffer. So they hoped the Silver Moon Palace would compromise and give up a portion of the Spirit Medicine Valley's benefits. But now that the Silver Moon Palace had two sixth-stage King Realm Cultivators, the situation was completely different. The Silver Moon Palace wasn't afraid of a fight to the death, so there was no room for compromise.
Qin Chu's beast carriage traveled north, approaching the Holy Land of Central State.
The distance was too great. He traveled by day and rested by night. As time passed, Qin Chu's cultivation also steadily improved.
About twenty days after leaving the Silver Moon Palace, Qin Chu entered the territory of the Holy Land of Central State.
Upon entering the first state of the Saint Martial Continent, Qin Chu clearly felt some changes: the cities were prosperous, and there were no large desolate areas.
After entering a large city, Qin Chu found an inn to stay in, then began to gather information. He wanted to know where the Vermilion Bird Clan's former Clan land was; he wanted to go and see the situation.
Qin Chu's presence was seen in restaurants and tea houses, but he found no news about the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Later, Qin Chu walked through various general stores, searching for ancient texts. One day, in a relatively large general store, he found a map of the Holy Land of Central State, which also included a map of power distribution.
After looking it over, Qin Chu found the former Clan land of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Having determined his destination, Qin Chu drove his beast carriage and set off. The Vermilion Bird Holy Land was only missing, not annihilated. Perhaps there would be some clues in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land's old Clan land.
At this time, in the valley where Qin Chu lived in Southern Flame State, a beautiful woman with silver hair arrived, followed by a team of people.
"Although he's dead, his bones must return home," the woman's words carried sadness.
When she saw the cleaned grave, the woman's face was full of surprise. Then she waved her arm, ordering them to open the grave.
The stone coffin was opened, and to everyone's shock, the grave was empty. There was only the blood-stained swaddling cloth, perfectly preserved due to the airtight stone coffin.
"Ah! Investigate... Who touched this place? I will tear them to pieces!" The white-haired woman's face was full of anger. The grave was empty; it had been damaged and dug up. How could she not be furious?
"My Lady, what do you see here?" a man pointed to a tombstone lying on the ground. It was the inscription Qin Chu had erected. Due to recent heavy rains in the mountains, this small inscription had fallen.
The woman waved her arm, and the sand and stones on the inscription were swept away.
I am still alive. I am Qin Chu! These words were revealed.
