Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 729 - 379: Old Stories from Back Then, Listening to the Wind_3

"With the help of Xiao Qingyun, the demons not deeply corrupted and without blood debts were sent in batches to the Northern Territory. At the same time, he secretly dispatched spies to help you gather clues about the Human Emperor's Banner, seeking a permanent solution to the demon plague."

"Did I find a solution?" Zhang Ze asked.

"No." Yuqing shook his head, "But the solution came knocking on the door itself."

"Young master, do you remember that trip to Liang Song?" Yuqing asked.

"I remember, I stole a cow from Taoist Liu." Zhang Ze clearly remembered this incident.

Yuqing was momentarily at a loss for words, sighed, and said, "I'm not talking about that, I'm asking if you remember the Nine Huis monster we encountered on the way back."

Zhang Ze thought for a while before recalling what exactly the monster known as Nine Huis was.

That creature was an accompanying entity of the Human Emperor's Banner, a tentacle monster lurking in the fog.

It was discovered that the Human Emperor's Banner was fostered by the Liang Song Ancestor in a lake, and on Zhang Ze's escape from Liang Song's capital back to White Jade County, he was trapped by the Nine Huis for a while.

Zhang Ze suspected the Nine Huis to be a subspecies of Fuji, but when inquired later, Fuji claimed she didn't know.

"I remember now, what about it?" Zhang Ze nodded.

Yuqing said, "That monster specifically sought you out in the Northern Territory to retaliate, almost causing a disaster."

"To prevent the demons from being affected, you moved the battlefield to this Extreme North icefield. You cut off one of Nine Huis' roots, and during the pursuit of the remaining Nine Huis, you discovered a natural Grotto Heaven."

"Stone Pill?" Zhang Ze asked instinctively.

"Exactly." Yuqing nodded, "With the disappearance of Nine Huis, you found several Stone Pills in that natural Grotto Heaven.

"After bringing them back, the Stone Pills cracked, revealing these Star Gods... oh, that's the name you gave them back then, saying it sounded nice."

Yuqing looked at the creatures behind Zhang Ze, which were sticking together with the old thing to form a trio egg.

"With the help of the Star Gods, the deciphering of the Human Emperor's Banner sped up, and in the deepest part of the Human Emperor's Banner, you found a Useful Skill left by the Human Emperor.

"The Human Emperor opened the Ten Thousand Laws for the Human Race, dispersing himself into the world, and this method was recorded in the Human Emperor's Banner.

"The Beast Taming Sect calls it the Spirit Fusion Technique.

"Relying on this Spirit Fusion Technique, you thought of a one-time permanent solution."

Yuqing paused after speaking, leaving Zhang Ze with enough time to think.

Zhang Ze tilted his head to look at the creature that had become a mouthless thing, shivering as it evenly shook the yolk.

It indicated that it didn't know, didn't remember, and had never heard of such a thing; it couldn't recall anything.

"Please continue," Zhang Ze said to Yuqing.

Yuqing nodded, then pointed with her hand, depicting the illusions of mountains and rivers.

A miniature map of the entire Northern Territory continent appeared before Zhang Ze.

With the Extreme North icefield as the core and the Northern Territory Wall as the ring, a massive array based on the Northern Territory continent was outlined.

Yuqing waved the map in front of Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze frowned, looking at it, finding the array interesting, as if it had an endless cycle.

Tilting his head and studying it for a long time, he suddenly realized and thought to himself that he truly was extraordinary.

To him, this continental array was just a giant washing machine.

White Emperor City was the detent for laundry detergent, and inside was the detergent.

As for what the detergent was, he still didn't know.

The earth veins and cities across the Northern Territory were the drum of the washing machine, rotating continuously, purifying the divine souls of the demons and spreading the light of the Righteous Path to them.

As for the Great Wall, it was the washing machine's filter, preventing the 'washed' evil thoughts from drifting into the Human Race's territory, while slowly purifying them.

Obviously, this thing wasn't built in a day. It seems that after he died in his previous life, during the years that followed, the demons, under the clueless leadership of the three Demon Venerables, were busy completing this great project to save their race's destiny.

Coupled with the three cultivation paths stabilizing the demons' minds, today's happy and more-populated demon race arose. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yuqing said, "After you passed away, your research results and authority were handed to the White Emperor.

"It was the White Emperor who led the demons, using the Northern Territory continent as a foundation, inheriting your wishes to build this array for purifying demons, and also helped the demons deduce three stable cultivation paths."

"Initially, this place was used to deduce the demonic path, but as time went on, it gradually became what it is today."

Zhang Ze sat across the table, stirring the aged tea before him with spiritual qi. Though Yuqing's words resolved many of his doubts, many things remained unsaid by Yuqing.

Who was the White Emperor? Why was White Emperor City destroyed? After his death, who sat in for him, purifying demons against the wall? How did he come back to life? What exactly did the Ancestral Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain steal? What about the Xiao Family?

"Who exactly is the White Emperor? Did he not die but live to this day?" Zhang Ze picked an important question to ask first.

Unexpectedly, Yuqing shook her head.

"The White Emperor isn't dead, but I don't know who he is."

"Aren't you a Demon Venerable?, a witness to those events, how could you not know?" Zhang Ze was puzzled.

Yuqing replied, "Young master, you misunderstand. I have never met you, nor am I a witness to those events.

"What I just said was merely some inherited memory."

Zhang Ze, "But aren't you immortals?"

Yuqing smiled, "Half true, half false, just some stories made up to fool people.

"At first, it was just to deter those small inferiors spying on the Northern Territory; later, since everyone believed it, it was better to continue the act."

"The three Demon Venerables, Qiangliang Beam has long been deceased, with no successor on the Path of Lifeless Myriad Phenomena.

"As for our race, the ancestor Bai Xiaosheng was grateful for the favor of the young master in White Jade County, naming his daughter Bai Yuqing, the first Fox Race Demon Venerable. Each subsequent Fox Race Demon Venerable inherited this name, not bearing the family name, thus Yuqing."

Yuqing looked at Zhang Ze, "You have also met Bai Tao; although she's playful now, her potential is limitless. When I pass away, she will be the next Yuqing."

"But she has no tail." Zhang Ze imagined Bai Tao becoming Yuqing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't picture it.

He could only imagine her lying on a chaise lounge, reading a book while snacking.

And it seemed Yuqing thought of the same thing. She sighed imperceptibly and skipped this topic.

Yuqing said sternly, "The demons have only one true immortal, and that's the Yao Venerable of the Liushan Wolf Race, Wang Siwen.

"She has lived from the Ten Kingdoms Chaos to today. If anyone knows everything, apart from the White Emperor, it's her."

Zhang Ze furrowed his brow, sensing something amiss. He raised his hand, interrupting Yuqing's narrative, pondering for a moment before speaking out, "Wait a second. If I'm not mistaken, the White Emperor and Wang Siwen should both be in White Emperor City now.

"Since the truth resides with those two, why don't you let me go directly to them, instead of summoning me here through that thing?"

This was what Zhang Ze couldn't understand.

Yuqing looked at Zhang Ze, "Young master, whom do you think is the source of the Northern Territory Chaos?"

"Emperor Xiaojing's hairy legs?" Zhang Ze frowned and said.

Yuqing revealed a rare look of disdain, "Not worthy."

Zhang Ze, "Then is it..."

Yuqing nodded, her expression tinged with helplessness and peculiarity.

"The chaos in the Northern Territory was all orchestrated by Sister Wang."

"She is currently biting people, young master see, I've been bitten by her."

Yuqing's phantom lifted her sleeve, revealing a fair forearm with freshly drawn bite marks, as she lodged a small complaint with Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze, "?"
