Novel Full Chapter 1085 - His Suspicions
"Alright, you guys rest first." Ling Chuxi didn't want them to leave, but she knew that Elder Yuan was going to say something confidential that might trouble them.
"Yuhong, accompany these senior brothers and sisters to the guest room. Don't neglect them," Zhang Shizhao instructed.
"Y-Yes... Don't... worry... father... I... won't..." Zhang Yuhong began to stutter but before he could finish his sentence, Lan Xinyu and the others had already run away. There was nothing they could do. Listening to him talk was too much.
Ling Yichen didn't say anything, but he also left the hall with the others. He knew that Ling Chuxi wouldn't keep secrets from him. If she didn't want him to know, then it was for his own good.
Only Huangfu Qingjue remained by Ling Chuxi's side. Of course, no one wanted him to leave. Zhang Shizhao couldn't wait to learn and hear more from him. Although it was a little selfish, it was for the sake of Golden Pill Sect.
"Sect Leader Ling, Eder Su, I have some ideas about the origins of these black-clothed people today," said Elder Yuan after everyone had left.
"You know their identities?" Zhang Shizhao asked in surprise. Even he didn't know the identities of these people, so how did Eder Yuan find out?
"I don't know, but I suspect that they are related to the extermination of Golden Pill Sect a thousand years ago," said Elder Yuan slowly.
Ling Chuxi's heart trembled. She had once talked to Su Yizhi about the extermination of Golden Pill Sect in the past.
However, according to Su Yizhi, even the ancestors of the Su family were unsure about this matter. They didn't know who the enemy was, nor did they know the reason for any enmities. After thinking about it, they only suspected that it was related to the sect sword.
When the sect broke apart, the descendants that escaped - including the Su and Qiu family - had been hunted down by the enemy. As a result, the Su family had to live in seclusion in Rejuvenation Valley. After nearly a hundred years, they gradually settled down and those enemies disappeared without a trace.
Since ancient times, it was normal for people to go after what others treasure. And with the existence of Golden Pill Sect's spiritual sword, it was not surprising to Ling Chuxi that people would attack them for it.
But it had been years. Even the Su and Qiu families could not locate the sect sword. It was likely that the other party had given up as well. If the destruction of the sect was not caused by the sword but by other grudges, then there was no need to worry. Thousands of years had passed. If their enemies attacked based on grudges held, the destruction of the sect should have done the deed. So why wait to attack now?
If Elder Yuan was right, and the attack tonight was related to the attack on the sect thousands of years ago, then Ling Chuxi had a vague feeling that this matter might not be so simple.
"What?" Su Yizhi and Zhang Shizhao exclaimed at the same time. Their enemies hadn't reappeared after so many years. Even they had thought that their enemies had disappeared.
"Elder Yuan, how did you know?" asked Zhang Shizhao after he took a deep breath. He had been shocked by Elder Yuan's claim earlier.
"Back then, our Yuan family's ancestor fought with several people from the other party. In the end, he was heavily injured and escaped from the sect. But he was still being chased. As he was being pursued, he managed to gain some understanding of their martial techniques. According to his last words, the other party used an invisible and mysterious martial technique.. It was because of this that he was heavily injured," said Elder Yuan with a solemn expression.
