“Seriously? How come you never gone and wiped out the place?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao, surprised.
“Wiped it out?”
Valley Master Ji didn’t think much of her comment, “Miss Xiao Xiao, nothing can be wiped out completely. The best we can do is to keep the place under control. As long as they are not slaughtering humans in a large scale, we have no reason to go and harm them.
“On top of that, the City of Heitu exists for a reason. Those who, for one reason or another, are unable to live among us in a normal society would also go seek asylum at City of Heitu. By now the City of Heitu is almost like a small country of its own. Regardless of how capable we are, we might be able to wipe out a big part of it, but not completely wipe it out!”
“Exactly!” nodded Clan Master Qin. “Besides, not all of them deserved to die. Some of them still have the rights to live. Even if we want to clean up, we can only kill the vicious criminals, and not everyone there indiscriminantly.”
“Ugh…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, “You were the ones who portrayed them as hardcore criminal. Oh, never mind that. All I really wanted to know is what is someone from Heitu doing here and why did they suck all the flesh and bones of my little white tiger. Do any of you have any ideas?”
“Words had it that there’s a kind of cultivation in Heitu that deviates from the norm. In order to practice this depraved form of martial arts, the cultivators would need to suck the blood and flesh of mystical beasts or other cultivators. They’d even suck all the bones out, leaving just the skin!” said Old Man Ying in a deep voice. “I have been to the country of Shuiyang before. Even though I had never stepped foot into the City of Heitu, I have heard many things about it. I can’t say for sure what are true and what are not.”
“I can’t believe there are that sort of cultivation!” Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and looked disgusted. “These types of people should all be killed!”
“Xiao Xiao, that’s deviated cultivation. In order to raise their cultivation level, they’d do just about anything. Especially when cultivators here are not able to breakthrough to martial emperor, these depraved cultivators are becoming more maniacal. Anything method that they can come up with, they will put them into actions. For the purpose of trying to lift the curse put on us!”
Mo Xuanzun didn’t seem too bothered by what had happened and continued to talk calmly.
An old nun from Yuni Sect nodded in agreement, “That is right. For us, we more or less felt that we would not be able to lift the curse and had come to accept it. For these unaffiliated cultivators, on the other hand, they’d try anything to try to breakthrough to martial monarch. I have heard about this sucking out the bone, flesh, and blood and leaving just the skin before!”
“Oh, what do you know about it?”
The old nun’s word had caught everyone’s attention and all waited for her to elaborate.
“Words had it that there was an ancestor of the unaffiliated who weren’t going to just sit around and wait for his own death to come. He travelled the entire continent looking for a solution that would allow him to breakthrough. Until one day, he noticed that sacred beasts didn’t seem to have this kind of restrictions placed on them. He had run into a sacred beast who, upon reaching the apex level and under his observation, broke through to become an immortal beast. One that could talk like a human! He was stunned beyond words!
“After he had recollecting himself, he started thinking about this. Why is it that sacred beasts were not restricted from breaking through? He spent so much time thinking about this that he finally went down the deep end and obtained this depraved skill of absorbing mystical or sacred beasts. He had been luring mystical beasts since and hoping that through the use of mystical beasts, he’d be able to attain his own breakthrough!”
“Then what happened? Was he able to breakthrough finally?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao curiously.
The old nun smiled and shook her head, “I don’t know, but he probably died. If he had broken through, I imagine we’d have heard about it by now.”
“Oh my lord. This unaffiliated cultivator was bold indeed. He didn’t even know if he could succeed before he tried this method? He sure is maniacal!”
