Chapter 364: Origin of the Legend
Prisoner Ji Yu is a very good storyteller, and through his description, this 'time back' is a very mysterious witchcraft, and the energy required to perform this witchcraft is huge.
It is rumored that this witchcraft originated from the ancient Xia clan, the ancient Xia clan at that time was always a woman in charge, a proper matriarchal clan, when it was passed to the sixteenth generation, the ancient Xia clan suffered a catastrophe, and the lineage suffered countless deaths and injuries, and finally almost led to the extinction of the clan.
The patriarch of the Xia clan of that generation was only middle-aged, and those who were hit by this accident wanted to apologize with death. And just when she was depressed, a couple came to the door to seek protection, and promised that as long as the Xia clan could protect the husband and wife until the end of their lives, they would be willing to offer ancestral secret skills.
The patriarch of the Xia clan was already determined to die at that time, so he didn't plan to accept the couple who came to the door, but when the man finished talking about the role of the ancestral secret technique, the patriarch of the Xia clan agreed.
The ancestral secret technique that the man dedicated to the Xia clan was actually the first version of 'Time Retwind', but the effect was the same, but at that time, if you wanted to perform this secret technique, in addition to requiring huge energy, you would also encounter unpredictable backlash.
The patriarch of the Xia clan knew that he could use this secret technique to return to the period when the Xia clan had not yet suffered, and no matter what the backlash would be, he decided to use the secret technique at the moment.
As a result, the patriarch of the Xia clan successfully performed the secret technique of 'going back in time', but what she didn't expect was that the backlash brought to her by this secret technique made her go crazy for a while, even if the Xia clan successfully avoided the crisis, but the patriarch of the Xia clan had no joy in his heart.
It didn't take long for the time node to come back to the time when the couple sought the blessing of the Xia family, and the patriarch of the Xia clan at this time had already suffered because of the backlash of using the secret technique, and when the husband and wife found it, she asked the two to be arrested, and used a lot of criminal law to figure out the origin of this secret technique.
The patriarch of the Xia clan is not a person who is not afraid of death, and it is precisely because she has obtained such a magical secret technique that she is more and more desperate for her life, in order to be able to survive, she wants to improve this secret technique and perform it again.
It was also the patriarch of the Xia clan who was smart, she found the wizard in the clan, and then the clansmen of the couple, and really let her come up with an improved version of 'Time Retwind'.
After performing it again, the decayed body of the Xia clan patriarch was successfully reversed to his youth, and just when the Xia clan patriarch was elated about this, not long after, the couple committed suicide, and then the Xia clan patriarch was attacked again, followed by a tragic death in the room one night.
At this point in the story, in fact, it is basically over, and the prisoner Ji Yu doesn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he didn't continue, let alone how this secret technique finally ended up in the hands of the 'elixir'.
Xia Yanru was also pondering in her heart after listening to it, she didn't believe all what Ji Yu said, there were too many loopholes, or the other party deliberately concealed some details, so in her opinion, this story is not true.
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, Xia Yanru would not be stupid enough to say it clearly, let alone break the loopholes with the other party, but the other party was willing to believe it, and she didn't need to be this fake guard.
However, in the end, Ji Yu is an old man, no matter what he is hiding in these stories, he also knows that this kind of secret technique is not very attractive to Xia Yanru, if he is facing a dying old person, he may make the other party want to cooperate regardless of everything, but in the face of a young girl who has only become an adult, it is naturally not attractive.
"I know you've been to the Flame Worshipping Clan's Wizard Tomb, so you know something about the other world, right?" Prisoner Ji Yu said slowly.
Xia Yanru looked at the other party with a flat face and was silent, she also knew that the intelligence network of the 'elixir' was pervasive, and it would not be difficult to find out about this.
"I also know that the star stone is in your hand, but you may not know the function of the star stone, if you are willing to cooperate with us, I will tell you the purpose of the star stone." Prisoner Ji Yu is not in a hurry, he knows how to use people's hearts, and he knows how to hand out the bait.
"I need time to think about it." Xia Yanru didn't immediately show her curiosity, she probably had a guess in her heart about the purpose of the star stone, since the other party also mentioned the other world, it should be similar to her speculation.
"Okay, but time is limited, and I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible." Prisoner Ji Yu behaved very kindly, and he didn't get angry because Xia Yanru didn't agree immediately, let alone feel that they could be strong and tough if they had the upper hand.
When Xia Yanru left, Shen Biqing, who had been holding her breath, couldn't help it, she was a little afraid of imprisoning Ji Yu, but she also thought that she had a backer, compared to Liu Jieyuan, who had no foundation, she had some right to speak.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to just let her go back, right?" Shen Biqing questioned as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What's wrong? Do you think she will be able to escape or destroy something? "Prisoner Ji Yu is still very confident in the defense of this underground building, the traps in this are more complicated than any underground palace, even if Xia Yanru has the ability, it is definitely wishful thinking to leave here.
"Don't forget who she is, the descendants of the Xia clan are not just talking, how can you guarantee that she doesn't have that ability?" Shen Biqing was not convinced, according to the information from previous investigations, she had always felt that this Xia Yanru was not simple, and she could come out of so many tombs unharmed, wasn't this enough for them to be vigilant?
Prisoner Ji Yu frowned slightly, he naturally knew that Xia Yanru's ability was not weak, but he believed that the defense of this thousand-year-old underground palace was strong enough, if the other party could really escape from here, he felt that cooperating with the other party was a very correct decision.
Seeing that the prisoner Ji Yu was still stubborn, Shen Biqing took a deep breath, she repeatedly emphasized that she couldn't be angry, even if she had a backer, but if she really angered the prisoner Ji Yu, her life would not be easy in the future.
couldn't say that Ji Yu was imprisoned, and Shen Biqing didn't say anything more, thinking that when she went back, she must report these things in detail.
Prisoner Ji Yu couldn't guess Shen Biqing's thoughts at this time, but he didn't care at all, the 'elixir' had gone through so many years, and the power he had managed in it was enough for him to act arbitrarily, even if that person wanted to trouble him, he had to weigh it.
What happened in the conference room, Xia Yanru, who had already left, naturally didn't know, but just now she also saw the discord between the three of them, and knew that this 'elixir' was not monolithic, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was going its own way.
Maybe the only one who has always wanted to cooperate with Xia Yanru is the prisoner Ji Yu, this person is deep enough, but the ruthlessness feels that it is not inferior to anything she has ever seen, just look at how vicious his young son is, he should know that the tiger father has no dog, and this father will definitely be more powerful.
