Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 475 - 297: The Correct Way to Interrogate Lily

Chapter 475: Chapter 297: The Correct Way to Interrogate Lily

Since there were still many matters to wrap up, there was no search for another place.

The giant turtle, Zhu Luo, slightly raised its head and brought Zhang Ze to the Buddha Country above the Qinghe Association.

After reaching the Buddha Country, Zhang Ze did not voice his speculations but first asked a question.

"Taoist, can you tell me all about the origins of this Qinghe Association?"

"Easily done." Tang stroked his beard, no longer hiding anything, and told Zhang Ze all the arrangements regarding the matter.

He even frankly discussed the plans if Zhang Ze could not resist the temptation of absorbing the East Continent’s fortune.

If Zhang Ze couldn’t resist the temptation, then when he came out, the talisman stuck on his forehead by Tang wouldn’t be just blank yellow paper.

Instead, it would be that invaluable Golden Talisman.

Xiaoxue wouldn’t just use the orange to borrow the scent of the Holy Tree of the West Continent.

Instead, she would draw the power of the West Continent’s Holy Tree to suppress the East Continent’s fortune on Zhang Ze.

The Five Sect Artifacts in the bag wouldn’t be Zhang Ze’s aid but rather artifacts to suppress him.

The person drawn by that branch wouldn’t be the Human Emperor Banner, but Zhang Ze himself.

"It’s the worst-case scenario, and I’ve already spoken with Chen Qianhu, even if you made a mistake, you wouldn’t be beaten to death.

"When a child makes a mistake, education is the solution.

"If truly irreparable, then I, Taoist, will ignite the Seven-Star Lamp, life for life, protect your Divine Soul, and we can reincarnate and be brothers in the next life.

"Chen Qianhu and his wife are extremely protective, and without such a guarantee, they would never agree to my plan." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Tang laid everything out for Zhang Ze.

After hearing this, Zhang Ze solemnly bowed to all the elders, then fell into silence.

Once Zhang Ze sorted things out, Tang asked, "Speak, what have you discovered?"

Zhang Ze pondered for a moment, then said, "It’s that broken banner, I suspect it wasn’t crafted during the great battle between the East and West."

"Why do you say so? Is the Human Emperor Banner not one of the Last Emperor’s Weapons?" Tang was somewhat puzzled.

In their deductions, that Human Emperor Banner must be related to the downfall of Dongqi and was likely crafted by the last emperor, given the title of the Human Emperor.

The Eastern Qi style palaces found while helping the Hundred Demons Sect elders with burial were also a piece of evidence.

Plus, Xiao Teng claimed to be some royal descendant or something.

According to this timeline...

The Last Emperor of Dongqi crafted the Human Emperor Banner to stir trouble, but it went awry.

After it went awry, Dongqi fell, Central Continent crumbled, and that part of history was erased for some reason.

During the chaotic times, when the Six Sects were busy restoring the East Continent, the Human Emperor Banner and some Dongqi heritage fell into someone’s hands, who, beguiled by the Human Emperor Banner, established the Hundred Demons Sect.

"It’s not like that." Zhang Ze shook his head, "That broken banner, it recognizes the Five Sect Artifacts."

"What’s the problem, those..." Tang spoke halfway when he realized something amiss.

If the Human Emperor Banner truly was a secret artifact crafted by the last emperor during the great battle, it shouldn’t recognize those five artifacts.

Because those five artifacts never appeared in that war.

The Celestial Calculation Disc, due to a prior misunderstanding with the Taoists of Dragon Tiger Mountain, went into self-imposed seclusion and has been dormant since the first Sect Leader’s death, until it revived upon encountering Zhang Ze, and expressed that it wasn’t broken.

The Golden Garuda, although intact, didn’t join that great battle, being placed as an ornament in the Zen Forest due to various reasons.

The Shennong Cauldron, due to its nature, stayed in the rear to heal injured cultivators during the war and was kept in the Medicine King Valley afterward.

The Taunting Wind Hammer was originally a set of nine, each named after legendary Divine Beasts. Except for the one retained as a heritage in the Beast Taming Sect, the other eight were all destroyed in the war.

The Mortal Dust Robe is even more special.

The Celestial Sect and the Eastern Qi Royal Family were deeply bound then, boasting the strongest power, and thus suffered the greatest losses in the war, nearly facing extinction.

The Mortal Dust Robe was secretly entrusted to Lu Yuzhou’s master by the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader at that time.

Due to surviving alone after leaving fellow cultivators behind, along with the inability to comprehend what happened back then, Lu Yuzhou’s master’s life ended in depression after helping the Celestial Sect regain its strength.

As one of the Celestial Sect’s legacy items, its existence remained a secret.

When Lu Yuzhou lent this robe to Tang, it was the first time Tang knew of its existence.

"Before the war, the Golden Garuda and Celestial Calculation Disc were souvenirs, the Shennong Cauldron halfway an ornament, the Mortal Dust Robe a secret collection, of these five artifacts, only the Taunting Wind Hammer might have some fame."

"After the war, these five artifacts had never been showcased, randomly find an elder in the Six Sects, and he might not be able to recognize all their origins at a glance."

"The Hundred Demons Sect recognizing them is even less possible."

"How did the Human Emperor Banner recognize them all?" Zhang Ze looked up at the sky.

"In the battle with the Human Emperor Banner, it immediately shouted out the names of those five artifacts, which sparked my suspicion, until later when I grasped it."

Recalling the experience then, Zhang Ze still felt some fear, "The Human Emperor Banner had sealed within it...I can’t say if those were Divine Souls or something else, but there were many voices, and among them, the largest voice called itself Qi Ren..."

Mo Jingchun slightly furrowed his brows, "The sword used by the founding Emperor of Dongqi? It was lost after the emperor’s death. Are you suggesting that the Human Emperor Banner was forged by melting Qi Ren?"
