Chapter 2074: The Great War Five Hundred Years Ago; Ling Wanrong

Hua Yan listened and murmured softly, "How could this happen?"

This question, Gu Zhiqi couldn’t answer for her, and instead, asked Hua Yan another question, "How much do you remember about the great war five hundred years ago?"

"The war did not affect Nine Stars City, and since I have been in Nine Stars City for so long, I don’t know much."

"I know about the war because master you came to find me. After leaving Nine Stars City, my memory becomes hazy."

"I only remember that many people died in that war, and besides Su, Meng Tu, Yun Qian, Sikong Yan, Jin Yuan, and the junior sisters and brothers all went missing, presumably dying in that great war."

After hearing Hua Yan’s words, Gu Zhiqi fell silent, for she had heard all these names before.

Only, this Ling Wanrong...

"The Ling Wanrong you mentioned earlier, was she a medicinal cultivator?"

Hua Yan nodded, "Junior Sister Rong was not only a medicinal cultivator but also excellent in ancient martial arts, fragrance refining, alchemy, and using poison."

After saying this, Hua Yan sighed deeply with a tinge of regret, "It’s such a pity."

After hearing Hua Yan’s words, Gu Zhiqi furrowed her brows slightly, "Do you know much about the current situation outside Nine Stars City? Specifically, about those forces, such as the Ancient Martial Arts World."

Hua Yan nodded, "Since the Nine Stars City Gate reopened, I have learned a few things."

Gu Zhiqi: "The gate reopened?"

"After the great war, the Lord God was seriously injured, and to prevent others from coveting Nine Stars City, closed the gate connecting Nine Stars City to the outside world before falling asleep."

"Only a hundred years ago, the Lord God awakened, and the gate reopened, yet few have traveled back and forth during this time."

Not forgetting the previous question after understanding the reopening of Nine Stars City Gate, Gu Zhiqi continued with the earlier inquiry, "Do you know about the Immortal Medical Alliance in the Ancient Martial Arts World?"

Hua Yan nodded.

Gu Zhiqi: "The Alliance Hierarch of the Immortal Medical Alliance is also named Ling Wanrong, is she the same Junior Sister Rong you mentioned..."

"The same person." Hua Yan first answered this and then began to recall, "Three years ago, apart from you and the Lord God going a thousand years into the past, Junior Sister Rong also went, only for Junior Sister Rong... to never be seen again."

"The Lord God said once the body disappears, it means death. Junior Sister Rong’s body... vanished just as the Space-time Array was initiated."

At this point, Hua Yan’s mood became somber.

Although Ling Wanrong was born in this era.

When she knew Ling Wanrong, she was already a fifth-order medical cultivator.

Both she and Ling Wanrong were medical cultivators and wood-attribute ancient martial artists.

Many times when Gu Zhiqi didn’t have the time to teach her personally, it was Ling Wanrong who taught her herself.

She called her Junior Sister, but Ling Wanrong was actually like a half-mentor to her.

After listening to Hua Yan’s account, Gu Zhiqi fell into silence.

For some reason, in her memory, there was nothing about Ling Wanrong.

She only heard others mention Ling Wanrong before.

They all said Ling Wanrong went into closed-door cultivation three years ago and never came out, but it turns out, she had already passed away?

Because she took her to a thousand years ago, letting her die five hundred years ago.

Upon thinking of this, Gu Zhiqi’s mood also became somewhat gloomy.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s gloominess, Hua Yan reached out and patted Gu Zhiqi’s head, "Don’t be sad, although Junior Sister Rong is dead, she also lived from a thousand years back to five hundred years ago, and even went from a fifth-order cultivator to a ninth-order powerhouse."

Gu Zhiqi raised her gaze, looked at Hua Yan, and asked, "Even the ninth-order cultivators were not opponents, so, who was on the other side of the war?"
