C1568 Unravel the truth
It was naturally not a simple matter for ordinary experts to possess a body, because other than needing their own consciousness to be extremely powerful, the person who had been possessed also needed to be extremely selective. Even if one succeeded in seizing a body, it could cause their body to reject it and their realm to drop. Thus, most martial artists would rather preserve their own divine sense than possess a body.
However, these so-called problems might not even be a problem in the eyes of these two forefathers.
They were extremely powerful and had basically become the strongest people in the world. If they wanted to possess a body, their success rate would naturally be extremely high. As for who they wanted to seize, they didn't have to worry. They had chosen the seven great young masters. Furthermore, they had the power of Destiny Star s. Once they succeeded in seizing the body, even if they could not immediately reach the peak strength of the two ancestors, it would only require some time.
At this time, Qin Shaojie finally understood why they did not immediately try to possess his body, but instead wanted to absorb their blood essence and life force. The fundamental reason was that they needed to find the most suitable person to do so. The deprivation of their blood essence and life force would cause their resistance to gradually weaken and increase their success in seizing another's body. Moreover, during this period of time, by absorbing their blood essence and life force, they could not only maintain the need for their physical bodies, but also allow their spiritual sense to better integrate with, and even accept the aura of, these people. Once it was time to possess, there would be no rejection. Of course, the most crucial point was that under this kind of long torture, he was able to choose the strongest physical body here.
The more powerful and outstanding the body possessed, the more beneficial it would be for their later recovery, and perhaps even more so for their past lives. Therefore, the reason they didn't directly kill these seven people, or even torture them, was so that they could leave behind two of their most powerful fleshly bodies.
If that was the case, then everything could be explained clearly.
It wasn't that Chu Feng and Quan Yang didn't care about the seven young masters, but the key point was that even though Chu Feng and Quan Yang knew that the two grandmasters had revived, they still had a long way to go before they could return to their desired condition. The Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate would do everything in their power to restore the two ancestors to their peak, because this was the only method they had right now.
The situation of the world had long since changed. Although the Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate were still the strongest in name, anyone could tell that the so-called strongest of them had already received an extremely great challenge. The combined strength of the human and Nine Peaks Tower s was more than enough to threaten the current positions of the Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate. Apart from this, they had to be on guard against the Nine-headed Snake.
Regardless of whether it was the Nine Peaks Tower or the Nine-headed Snake, both of them were not people that the Heaven Gate or the Earth Gate could easily deal with. Furthermore, they were smart people, and they did not know the relationship between the Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate. If this situation were to occur again, they would be in a truly precarious situation.
It could be said that the Gate of Heaven and the Gate of Earth were at their most dangerous times. At such a time, the best way and method was to let the two ancestors greatly recover their strength.
In this state, they would definitely ignore everything else. Not to mention the seven young masters, even if all the elders from the Heaven Gate or the Earth Gate died with them, they wouldn't bat an eye.
After all, the two ancestors were their last hope.
Qin Shaojie forcefully suppressed the fluctuations in his heart. He was not one of the younger generation, he saw things with more accuracy than anyone else, and in this kind of situation, he naturally knew that there were some things that he could not reveal now, so Qin Shaojie tried his best to restrict his expression and shock to this so-called Possession state.
Then, this junior would like to know the reason why senior specially brought this junior here?
From the two of them speaking, it was not hard to tell that Qin Shaojie was not their goal of seizing their body. Although he met all of their requirements and was definitely the strongest person here, the two of them were definitely not doing it to steal their body, but what was their real goal?
With regards to Qin Shaojie's question, the two elders looked at each other and smiled.
We need you to do us a favor. If it is possible, we can even become friends who have forgotten their age. The white-browed elder laughed out loud, as if he was extremely satisfied with Qin Shaojie, and if Chu Feng and Quan Yang were to hear his words, how shocked and crazed would they be! It had to be known that these two were the ancestors of Heaven Gate and Earth Gate. Their strengths were tyrannical, their methods were outstanding, and even more so, they had the ability to change days to change lives. Even the current Chu Feng and Quan Yang did not have this kind of position in their hearts, and it was even more difficult for them to gain the acknowledgement and goodwill of these two.
This was simply unacceptable in their eyes.
Not to mention Chu Feng and Quan Yang, even Qin Shaojie himself had a slight change in expression, his eyes filled with disbelief and doubt.
He knew that there must be a reason why Fang Xingjian had specially brought him here. However, for such reasons, he did not believe that Fang Xingjian had fallen for his talent or that Fang Xingjian had suddenly awakened to the fact that Fang Xingjian wanted to be his friend. [There must be something behind all this. There must be a secret behind all this!]
How could this junior have the qualifications to become the friendship between the two seniors? So please enlighten me, two seniors. Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie cupped his fists towards the two and said with a deep voice. If it was any other person, they would have long been filled with fear and excitement, and it would not be easy for the current Qin Shaojie to maintain such a calm demeanor.
He was a cautious person. The strength of these two people was already quite tyrannical, even to the point of standing at the peak of this world. Behind them were powerful existences like the Gate of Heaven and the Gate of Earth. Even if there was, I am afraid that such a thing would never happen to Qin Shaojie!
Yet the other party had picked him. If one were to say that there were no oddities or strangeness in the process, even Qin Shaojie himself wouldn't believe it!
Ha ha-ha, that's you, and you're the only one who can help. The eyebrow-less old man waved his hand and said with an extremely firm tone. It was as if he had already figured out the crux of the matter and was 100% sure of their feelings.
With regards to the two of them speaking with such certainty, Qin Shaojie also raised his eyebrows. There were not many things in Between the Heavens and the Earth that he could help them with. And these were all the secrets that were kept the greatest in Qin Shaojie's heart! When he thought of this possibility, Qin Shaojie's heartbeat also quickened. However, he still tried his best to restrain his emotions, so as to look as if he was ignorant.
It was you who killed the young master of the Earth Sect.
The eyebrow-less old man didn't care about Qin Shaojie's reaction, and asked directly.
And these words caused Qin Shaojie, no matter how brave he was, to be unable to resist the urge to slightly tremble a little. He immediately stepped back half a step, and even his face paled slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect the white-browed elder to say this without any warning.
The profound energy in Qin Shaojie's body also fluctuated slightly. He was very clear on the risks that the annihilation of the heaven and earth sects would bring about if the outside world were to kill the young masters of the heaven and earth gates. Back then, the earth gates had almost shook the entire world because of this matter, but unfortunately, they could not find any useful clues, and in the end, they could only end up with nothing. Who would have thought that this eyebrow-less old man would say such words!
Qin Shaojie didn't know what the two of them were currently planning, but he knew that he didn't have the qualifications to deny it. Some things, once they noticed it, wouldn't have any need to refuse.
You can fool everyone else, but not me. Back then, when Quan Yang told me about this matter, I was able to sense it. You must have been the one who acted, because the aura of that Earth Sect disciple still lingered on your body. At this moment, the eyebrow-less old man's face showed that he had everything under control.1
He was the ancestor of the Earth Sect, and Quan Yang naturally wanted to tell this matter to the eyebrow-less old man. After all, the death of the young master of an Earth Sect had a huge impact on the Earth Sect. This was something that had never happened in the tens of thousands of years of the Earth Sect. It could be said to be unprecedented. The death of that Young Master, and the fact that they had not found any direct clues, had undoubtedly shamed the reputation of the Earth Sect. Some things, once started, mean that there may be a second and a third phenomenon and possibility. Therefore, Quan Yang had long since sworn that he would search for the real culprit behind all this, regardless of anything.
Almost everyone on this trip to the Endless Sea of the Nether Island was already dead. The image that was sent back was even less valuable than the one that was sent back. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for the Earth Sect to find the mastermind behind this.
But who would have thought that the eyebrow-less old man's methods were so brilliant? They had actually deduced that the real culprit was Qin Shaojie based on merely the fragmented scenes from back then and the aura of the young master from before he died.
Qin Shaojie didn't know how strong of a method this was to be able to guess at him. After all, it was the first time the other party had seen him today. But no matter how he knew of this level of knowledge, and how accurate it was, Qin Shaojie did not dare to underestimate these two people.
Back then, nine deficiency had once said that, among his three disciples, the eldest and second disciples were the most meticulous and astute, had the most tricks up their sleeves, and were also the most difficult to deal with. Today, Qin Shaojie could truly be considered to have experienced it, and was even certain that Senior nine deficiency did not lie to him back then.
That's right, what happened that time was indeed the work of a junior. If you want to kill or cut me, do as you please!
The shock on Qin Shaojie's face gradually disappeared as well, but his eyes revealed a hint of vexation and remorse. It seemed that there were some other reasons that he was forced to do it, but it also gave others the feeling that the truth had been exposed.
After all, if this matter were to be leaked out, he would definitely not be spared. And this place was the Gate of Heaven, so it was almost impossible for him to leave this place alive.
[This is truly like entering the heavens. There is no door to the earth!]
Since that was the case, it would be better to be a bit more at ease and at least leave behind a good reputation.
Your courage and boldness are even greater than I imagined. After all, to be able to kill the young master of an Earth Sect and cleanly deal with the entire process without leaving any trace behind, it means that your methods are quite extraordinary. At this moment, there was still no killing intent coming from the eyebrow-less old man. However, under his fake smile, no one could tell what he was thinking.
However, on Qin Shaojie's forehead, there were some beads of sweat, seemingly because he was too nervous.
Logically speaking, regardless of your reason or purpose, killing the young master of my Earth Sect a hundred times is not enough. The eyebrow-less old man continued speaking in a deep voice. His words were very slow, and he said each word very clearly.
These words were mixed with a strong sense of oppression, causing one to feel a sense of crisis that spread out from the deepest part of one's heart.
However, because this person is your reason, the situation doesn't have to go to the worst possible extent.
But, the old man's next sentence made Qin Shaojie's heart sink!
