Chapter 926: Surprised
When he returned to the imperial capital from the sea of stars that day, Su Wu inadvertently mentioned the Xiangjiang clan, and after being removed from the Outer Heaven Martial Arts Research Institute, he hid in the hidden realm.
When she killed Pei Hongyin and decided to enter the hidden world, she decided to find the Xiangjiang clan, and then through the help of Xiang Si, she found a way to leave the hidden world and enter the outer heavens.
The Xiangjiang clan was a great family in the outer heavens, although it was suppressed by the Martial Arts Research Institute, as long as the clansmen were still there, it was impossible to completely decline, and they should have some ability in the hidden world.
It's just that when she was thinking about it that day, she didn't expect that she would advance to the Tribulation so quickly.
As for the Xiangjiang Yi clan, sensing the existence of Lei Zhengyun, rushed to hear the news, it was both expected by her and unexpected by her.
However, by coincidence, it can be regarded as conspiring with Song Qingxiao's original plan.
Xiang Si treated her politely at this time, I am afraid that he asked her.
It just so happened that Song Qingxiao also needed the help of the Xiangjiang clan to point out the way, and the two sides could cooperate again.
Xiangsi was stunned for a moment when he heard Song Qingxiao's question.
But she has cooperated with Song Qingxiao anyway, and she also has a certain understanding of her character.
What's more, both parties are smart people, and there is no need to detour anymore, and she must have a treat with her grandmother, presumably she also knows it in her heart.
However, since she didn't accept it silently, but said it in advance at this time, it proved that she probably just wanted to make a short-term deal with the Xiangjiang clan, and was not willing to stay here for a long time.
Grandmother's initial intention to keep her and recruit her into the Xiangjiang clan may have failed.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xiangsi did not show any frustration.
Her expression quickly returned to normal, as if the previous moment of apprehension did not exist:
"Our Xiangjiang First Clan was originally considered a great clan outside the sky, although it was not as good as the Nine Great Clans, but there were also elders from the Void Realm back then."
Xiang Si took a deep breath and did not answer Song Qingxiao's words, but instead mentioned the origin of the Xiangjiang clan.
"Our clan has inherited ancient methods and can communicate with demon beasts."
Raise the demon beast of the high-level bloodline, and take care of it when it is young, and after the demon beast bloodline awakens, the disciples in the clan will choose the demon beast blood contract that suits them.
"The method of the Xiangjiang First Clan's contract demon beast is different from the ordinary contract."
It is not just to recruit demon beasts as a big killer and helper, but to subdue them and raise them in the dantian as treasures.
When it comes to the growth period of the demon beast, you can use the strength of the demon beast, the lifespan, and even the strong talent above the physical body to use it for your own cultivation.
Later, this kind of cultivation method can almost be combined with demon beasts.
Not only does it have the cultivation talent of human beings who are favored by the laws of heaven and earth, but it can also share the strong body of demon beasts and their long lifespan and strength.
The more the Xiangjiang clan cultivated to the later stage, the smoother it was than ordinary people.
It's a pity that such an anti-heaven method will always cause others to covet and blush.
"Three hundred years ago, the Martial Arts Research Institute restarted a project that failed a thousand years ago." This plan involves the transformation and research of some elite divine warriors of the Martial Arts Research Institute, so after discussion by the Martial Arts Research Institute:
"The people of the Council of Elders want us to share some of the secret techniques of the Imperial Demon Beast for the sake of the plan."
Xiangsi may still be young, and when she mentions the past, although she may not have experienced it personally at her age, she still can't control her indignation.
"What's the plan?"
This kind of thing already involves some core secrets, but Xiangsi may have been instructed by the woman, and in order to keep Song Qingxiao, he can reveal it to her.
So as soon as Song Qingxiao's voice fell, Xiang Si said without hesitation:
"Chaos Orb!"
As soon as she finished saying this, a circle of golden shadows appeared on the edge of Song Qingxiao's pupils, and the pupils shrank, turning into two thin slits in an instant.
But before Xiangsi noticed the abnormality, her eyelids drooped, blocking the abnormality in her eyes.
"Have you ever heard of this?"
Song Qingxiao didn't speak, and Xiangsi didn't care, and then said:
"It's not surprising that you don't know, this thing is a forbidden topic in the outer heavens."
In Xiangsi's view, Song Qingxiao was not born in a family, only as an ordinary person in the empire, he was lucky to enter the Divine Prison, and finally he was able to get to the present step by step, relying on his great luck, character and strength.
She is not an imperial family, and she should be ignorant of some situations outside the sky.
She hadn't heard of such an existence as the Chaos Bead, and it wasn't unusual.
Song Qingxiao didn't speak, neither explained nor refuted Xiang Si's words, and listened to her explain the origin of the Chaos Bead.
Compared with Su Wu, who was born in the Taikang clan, Xiang Si still doesn't know enough about the Chaos Bead.
She only knew that the Chaos Bead came from the Thousand Machines Clan, and this bead could absorb some power for the use of monks, but although this power could create a super god warrior in a short period of time, it would also have an irreversible backlash, and it was regarded as an evil thing by the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute thousands of years ago.
And the Thousand Machines clan that created such an evil thing naturally ended badly, and the whole clan was annihilated, which eventually caused the production method of the Chaos Bead to be lost in this world.
"However, more than four hundred years ago, someone from the Martial Arts Research Institute was studying such an evil object again, and they were close to succeeding in research."
Xiang Si's words made Song Qingxiao slightly surprised.
Su Wu said that when the Qianji clan was exterminated, a total of ten Chaos Beads were found, and they had already been divided up one by one by the forces that participated in this plan back then.
And the skill of the Thousand Machines Clan's mechanism is ingenious, and it will never be copied.
Because of the powerful characteristics of the Chaos Bead, the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute also tried to imitate it, but unfortunately they all failed one by one in the end, and in the end, the passage of time covered up this man-made disaster.
If it weren't for witnessing that Shi Qiuwu had a Chaos Bead in his hand and wanted to contain the Sea of Stars for the Beastmaster to advance, I'm afraid that Su Wu would have forgotten about this matter completely.
"Those crazy people at the Martial Arts Research Institute haven't even given up!"
In the soul, Su Wuleng snorted.
He didn't have a good impression of the people in the Martial Arts Research Institute, and when he mentioned these people at this time, he couldn't hide his disgust in his cold tone.
"After the man-made disaster back then, all the families protested at the same time, and it was clear that the council promised to destroy some records and materials for the creation of super god warriors, etc., it seems that these crazy people agreed on the surface, but behind their backs, they secretly crossed Chen Cang, and secretly intercepted a piece of information."
It is even very likely that this plan has not been stopped at all, but it has been hidden from the major clans.
The Martial Arts Research Institute is composed of the joint efforts of the major clans, and the elders of the council in the academy are all from the major families, which can be said to be a special institution that is not only independent of the clans, but also can firmly bond the nine great families outside the heavens.
Although with the development of time, the strength of the Martial Arts Research Institute may far exceed the expectations of the Shi clan and become another big force.
But in general, what is happening in the courtyard, the family must know, and have a certain degree of participation and right to speak.
"Does Taikang know?"
Song Qingxiao was single-minded, listening to Xiang Si explain the function of the Chaos Bead while asking Su Wu.
"As far as I know," he replied, after a pause, "I don't know." ”
"Are you sure?" Song Qingxiao asked again.
Back then, Su Wu turned his back on the family, and even his own surname had been deprived, and he was no longer the core bloodline of the family.
It is reasonable for Taikang to hide such a big event from him.
"You won't understand." Su Wu laughed coldly, but he didn't intend to explain, but said categorically:
"All in all, Taikang's is absolutely not involved in this matter!"
After saying this, he added in a cold voice:
"In the Divine Warrior Manufacturing Plan back then, the Taikang clan lost a genius who originally had great potential, and they were very disgusted with such an experiment with bloodline disciples."
This incident was recorded in the clan training afterwards, so that for hundreds of years after that, the Taikang clan strictly stipulated that the cultivation itself had gone against the sky, and it was absolutely impossible to take such a side-by-side path.
"So, if there really is such an experiment, Taikang will not agree to it!"
Although the Martial Arts Research Institute is nominally independent, it actually serves the Shi clan, and there are inextricable links with the Shi clan, as long as the Taikang clan does not agree, then this experiment will not be possible, or even successful.
"When they killed you back then, I didn't see Taikang's opposition useful."
Song Qingxiao silently added.
“……”
Su Wu was silent.
But even if he didn't speak, Song Qingxiao still felt that his words might have hit him in the sore spot, which made him a little annoyed and angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while.
"I'm not saying that Taikang gave up on you." Song Qingxiao keenly sensed something was wrong from this small incident:
"It's about wanting to make sure of something."
"Humph!" Although Su Wu was still very unhappy, she also knew Song Qingxiao's character, she was thoughtful, since she would ask such a question, she should have discovered something.
But even so, he still snorted heavily, and after expressing his dissatisfaction, he said arrogantly:
"I made two big mistakes back then, and my family has expelled me, and my life and death have nothing to do with my family from now on."
In other words, after he left the Taikang clan back then, what he did was no longer bound by the clan.
If he wants to kill someone, he will no longer hesitate because of the involvement of the clan, and he will naturally be much happier with his heart.
But in the same way, he did not have the protection of the clan.
When the Martial Arts Research Institute wanted to kill him, Taikang should have maintained a kind of silence, neither helping nor opposing, similar to the operation of voting and abstention.
"Almost."
Su Wu nodded and admitted Song Qingxiao's speculation.
"Then the worlds of the outer heavens may no longer be united." Song Qingxiao heard Su Wu's admission, and immediately spoke:
"At least in the Martial Arts Research Institute, it is no longer biased towards the Taikang Clan."
In other words, if there were people from the Taikang clan in the Martial Arts Research Institute, they would either be cleared by the marginalization, or they would have already turned their backs on the clan.
The forces within the Martial Arts Research Institute have formed an alliance, and they are no longer as fair and just as outsiders think they are to the Outer Heavens.
This change may have started since the time of the Chaos Orb's research change, or it may have started earlier.
"The reason for chasing and killing you may not be because you slaughtered the Changli clan, it is very likely that it is intended for the Taikang clan."
Su Wu is an immortal genius of the Taikang clan, he is young, but he has already half stepped into the holy realm.
Even if he has claimed to have betrayed the Taikang clan and is no longer a member of the family, judging from his maintenance of the Taikang clan in his words, his feelings for the clan have not completely disappeared.
Even from his attitude, Song Qingxiao subtly sensed that there might still be some kind of emotional connection between him and Taikang's family.
When one day, if Tai Kang's family had any trouble, he couldn't stand idly by.
"The reason why the Martial Arts Research Institute killed you may be to test Taikang's attitude, and secondly, it may be to behead Taikang's siblings."
All in all, from the fact that the Martial Arts Research Institute is still continuing to study the Chaos Bead, and the people of the Taikang Clan know nothing about it, it can be seen that the Taikang Clan has been marginalized by the Martial Arts Research Institute.
Splits began to appear between the nine great clans that had cooperated closely in the past, and there was also a division of forces in the martial arts research institute that served the clans.
In this invisible battle of alternating forces, the Taikang clan has undoubtedly been divided into the core team of the Martial Arts Research Institute.
This is a very dangerous signal, and the most important thing is that to this day, Taikang's may still be kept in the dark.
"You-"
Su Wu is a smart person, and Song Qing's words have been said so clearly, he naturally understands what is powerful.
When he learned of this problem, he hated to fly to the Taikang clan in person and inform the elders of the Taikang clan about this matter, but unfortunately he quickly thought of his current situation.
Su Wu is dead.
Died in the encirclement and suppression of the Martial Arts Research Institute back then, and now the corpses have become the experimental subjects of the Martial Arts Research Institute and are placed in their exhibition center.
In this world, no one knows that he is still 'alive', except for Song Qingxiao.
An indescribable loneliness surged into Su Wu's heart, from the time he died that day to the time he awakened through the consciousness of the Divine Extermination, he had never been so deeply aware of this.
"After I leave the Hidden Realm, I will find an opportunity to go to the Taikang Clan and tell them to be more careful."
Song Qingxiao sensed the loss in his heart, and couldn't help but open his mouth to say what he hadn't finished speaking.
In fact, she herself was also in trouble, after the catastrophe, although she killed Canghe, the Lan family and most of the witnesses, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, and the matter would still be revealed to the world one day.
Once it is exposed, Song Qing will be famous in the continent, and she will not be able to take care of herself, if she is involved in the affairs of the Outer Heaven Clan, the Martial Arts Research Institute will not let her go.
It was precisely because of this that Su Wu swallowed the words that came to his mouth in time at the moment he spoke.
He didn't expect that Song Qingxiao would take the initiative to mention it.
“…… Thank you very much. ”
At this moment, Su Wu felt that his heart, which had been tightly wrapped, seemed to be collided by some emotion, disturbing his feigned calm, and making him slowly say thank you after a long time.
