"World's Destroying Bell?" Yun Lintian repeated with an incredible expression… What a domineering name.
"It might sound terrifying, but in fact, it isn't that powerful. It certainly cannot destroy the world, as its name suggested." Principal Tian explained. Before Yun Lintian could feel at ease, Principal Tian added. "However, destroying the continent is not a problem."
"What?" Yun Lintian exclaimed in surprise. No wonder Lord Sky Throne and Principal Tian had to be cautious against the Peng clan… But why they didn't strive to become the true powerhouse?
"If my guess correctly, Poison Valley should not be aware of this and perhaps Azure Palace too. Otherwise, they would attack the Peng clan a long time ago. At the same time, the Peng clan clearly did not want to expose this… Well, precisely, they didn't dare to… Also, I bet the Peng clan's ancestor probably threatened Lord Sky Throne to sink the continent." Yun Lintian expressed his thought.
Principal Tian was obviously surprised to hear Yun Lintian's words. With the limited information, Yun Lintian could actually figure out so many things. This level of analyzing ability wasn't something the eighteen-year-old boy should possess.
"Now I know why little girl Han values you very much." Principal Tian said. "What you've said is totally correct. The Peng clan's ambition isn't small. They want to occupy the academy first before taking over the other branches. At the same time, they know their current strength is insufficient to fight the Poison Valley even with the help of World's Destroying Bell. They could only play along with them for the time being."
Yun Lintian nodded his head. "Why not? They can also use Poison Valley as a shield to fend the Azure Palace off. With the Azure Palace's attitude today, I can see they really don't care much about the Poison Valley. Let alone their lackey like the Peng clan." He paused for a moment and changed the topic. "Speaking of this, can Senior tell me more about Poison Valley? Until now, I don't even know who their leader is. Let alone their origin."
This was a question Yun Lintian had wanted to ask for a long time.
A look of recollection emerged on Principal Tian's face as he replied. "We have to trace back to four thousand years ago when the first Abyssal Profound Beast appeared in our world. At that time, they were caught off-guard, infected with Abyssal Poison. No one can understand nor have a clue regarding this treacherous poison. Even the Myriad Pill Palace Master at that time, who was regarded as the Medicine Saint, could not do anything against it."
"One after another, Abyssal Profound Beasts kept appearing more and more and humanity gradually declining. More than half of the world had been occupied by these beasts. It was until the first generation Azure Palace Master had united with other eight palace masters and slowly made a counterattack." Principal Tian stopped here for a moment and turned to look at Yun Lintian. "This is what the later generations understood. The truth is entirely different from it."
Yun Lintian was visibly stunned for a second. "What Senior means is…."
Principal Tian nodded his head. "In fact, it wasn't the first generation Azure Palace Master who led the alliance, but rather a peerless woman from the Misty Cloud Palace."
Yun Lintian's body shook slightly. His face was filled with incredulity as he stared at Principal Tian… A peerless woman from the Misty Cloud Palace? She must be the founder.
Principal Tian gave a meaningful smile to Yun Lintian and said. "I am probably the only one who truly understands your background."
Yun Lintian's pupils shrank slightly, and the vigilance in his heart rose rapidly.
Seeing Yun Lintian's vigilant appearance, Principal Tian said calmly. "Don't worry. There's no benefit in harming you. On the contrary, it can be said we are on the same side."
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and asked. "As far as I know, someone had forcibly erased the history. How could Lord Sky Throne know about it?"
Principal Tian went silent immediately. His face kept changing for a while before saying. "Because he's not someone from this world."
This time, Yun Lintian was thoroughly shocked. The conjecture he had on Lord Sky Throne before resurfaced in his mind once again… The university-like system. The building and training ground designs. He was definitely coming from Earth!
Although Yun Lintian was shocked, he didn't rush to ask Principal Tian which world Lord Sky Throne came from. He didn't want to make himself suspicious.
"Not from this world? What do you mean, Senior? Lord Sky Throne came from the legendary other world?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
Principal Tian didn't notice Yun Lintian had pretended to ask naively. He answered truthfully. "Yes. However, he didn't write anything much regarding this in his record. When he first came to this world, his talent was average at best. He intended to live secludedly and wait for the last moment of his life. It was until one day he had encountered a noble person that entirely changed his fate forever."
Principal Tian spoke to this point; Yun Lintian had already connected all the dots together. This noble person was definitely that mysterious woman. And now another question popped up in his mind… Are this mysterious woman and the founder of the Misty Cloud Sect the same person?
Principal Tian continued. "This person was another peerless woman. She had passed down the memory regarded the Abyssal Profound Beast's incident and gave my ancestor a mission to create an academy."
Yun Lintian couldn't help asking. "Are these women the same person?"
Principal Tian shook his head. "They aren't. From the record, my ancestor said she was also someone from the other world, but she didn't tell him about her origin. My ancestor guessed that she should be someone from the Divine World, counting her unusually powerful strength."
"She was responsible for the missing history, right?" Yun Lintian asked further. He felt there was a loophole in this story, but he couldn't pinpoint it out… If this mysterious woman was the one who erased the history, then where was the Misty Cloud Sect's founder?
