Chapter 786 - 385 Red Rain_2
Chapter 786: Chapter 385 Red Rain_2The first rumor says that the vast ocean back then was a red sea, and the treasures within it seemed to be cursed. Those who acquired them almost never met a good end.
Take the Water Moon Dream Mirror, for example. It seems to let one glimpse future events, but due to various restrictions, it ultimately became a curse. Those who have owned the Water Moon Dream Mirror throughout history either died or went insane."
Hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong’s spine suddenly turned cold.
He gazed at the endless mountain ranges, and in a daze, a scene of a red sea appeared in his mind, with a mirror reflecting a full moon eerily floating in the waters.
A curse...
This Water Moon Dream Mirror is indeed a curse.
"Tell me the second rumor."
Fang continued: "As for why there was a red sea, it’s said that a natural calamity occurred here, and it rained continuously for hundreds of years—red rain. The rain never stopped, eventually forming a vast ocean."
A calamity?
Red rain?
Jiang Shouzhong furrowed his brow.
Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his skull.
Fang said: "All those extraordinary treasures were gifts of the red rain. Every one of those who ascended was assisted by the red rain, and even...the resurgence of the Demon Clan."
The pain continued spreading... Jiang Shouzhong instinctively clutched his head, his vision flashing with bloody scenes.
His memory suddenly pulled him back to the moment he fought side by side with the Shura soldiers.
The Shura soldiers, wrapped in iron chains, were pulling with all their might on an immense statue.
The statue’s face bore a striking resemblance to Hong’er.
"The Red Demon is the calamity! The calamity is the Red Demon!"
With the furious roar of a Shura general, the massive statue was finally pulled down, yet the red rain in the sky grew even more intense, eventually gathering into a lake.
"Jiang?"
Fang’s voice brought Jiang Shouzhong’s drifting consciousness back.
Jiang Shouzhong snapped out of it and blurted: "Red Demon."
Fang froze for a moment, then said with a faint smile: "So you know the phrase ’Red Demon’, Jiang. Someone must have told you something."
Jiang Shouzhong stared at him: "There was someone from the ’Red Demon’ organization who said that the resurgence of Demon Qi is related to something called the ’Red Demon’. Moreover, I know a calamity occurred many years ago, which caused Demon Qi to wither, Ascension to cease, and Shuras to disappear."
Fang nodded and said:
"All of this is indeed tied to the calamity. As for what the Red Demon is, I still don’t know."
"It seems that this resurgence of Demon Qi is truly abnormal." Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but feel a wave of worry for Qu Hongling.
Fang murmured: "Perhaps, none of it is normal."
The two of them gazed at the serene mountain scenery, sinking into silence.
...
Inside Shuixie Pavilion, Xiao Lingqiu carefully perused the intelligence gathered by Housekeeper Wang, while listening to his report on recent rumors and the results of the missions she had undertaken over the years.
"My lord, the main task assigned to this humble servant back then was to
Xiao Lingqiu was secretly alarmed.
"Dong Gua, don’t hurt the lady; just bring me her undergarment as a token of apology."
Tudan Wuxu grinned wickedly, his words filled with mockery and malice.
The black-clad gnome licked his lips and lunged at Xiao Lingqiu with his blade.
The opponent’s speed was astonishing, a phantom darting toward her. The blade didn’t aim to harm her but rather to slash her dress sash.
Xiao Lingqiu’s slender fingers splayed out, unfurling shimmering threads that wove a protective web before her.
But against such an eminent expert, it was futile.
The blade slashed effortlessly through the web.
As it neared her, the gnome’s expression suddenly morphed in terror, as if he had seen a ghost. He abruptly retreated, shielding Tudan Wuxu with his tense and wary body.
