Chapter 2151: Virtue True God (1/2)

He didn’t leave the room for the next several days while trying to digest these new memories. They included secrets that others wouldn’t even realize were important. Only someone of Li Qiye’s level could see through the clues.

It wasn’t only due to his experience but in this world, no one understood Xiao s.h.i.+ more than him. He meditated on his bed, as still as a statue, with a momentum piercing through time.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes as if something got his attention. He got up and went outside.

“Young n.o.ble!” Zhu Sijing shouted, pleasantly surprised.

She was worried that something had happened since he didn’t leave the room at all. This was a huge relief for her.

He didn’t say anything outside of a command to Yang Shengping: “Prepare a carriage to leave the palace.”

Shengping went to carry it out right away. He didn’t know what Li Qiye wanted to do but prying wasn’t the right choice here. It didn’t take long and he chose the driver position as well.

They left the palace and eventually stopped by a mountain to the west.

This place was blessed with lush vegetation and foliages. Many trees grew in this area but for some reason, the leaves here all had a faint tinge of red to them. The entire mountain looked like it had a shade of red as a result.

When the wind blew, these leaves would flutter and from the distance, creating a scene resembling waves of blood.

Li Qiye got off the carriage and looked at the mountain with a penetrating gaze.

“This place?” Shengping was surprised to see the chosen destination.

Sijing came along and felt something amiss: “This mountain is quite strange, I hear someone screaming.”

“None.” Shengping shook his head and smiled: “You must be hearing the leaves unique to this area. Maybe the waves of blood make you think you are hearing angry shouting.”

“Maybe.” Sijing replied.

“No.” Li Qiye said: “She can hear something you can’t, not because of a superior sense but rather her race and its innate talents. This is one of the reasons why people think this race is creepy. She’s actually telling the truth.”

“There are screamings?” Shengping was startled and at the same time, curious about this innate talent.

He was aware of the race’s unpopularity. Rumor has it that a Mutebane was unlucky. Nothing good would happen when one was around. But now, it sounded like there was something else going on.

Sijing was surprised as well since she didn’t know of this particular gift. After all, her race was few in number and scattered all over Three Immortals. She thought that she was only hearing things earlier.

Li Qiye was already climbing up the mountain while the other two were lost in thoughts so they had to catch up.

At the ridge, he saw a stone tablet. It was flat and old without any symbol or word. His gaze became penetrating once more.

“The angry screaming is coming from below this place.” Sijing said.
