Chapter 301 A Page of Scripture (2/2)

He walked in front of her and asked, ”I would like to ask you one thing, how did the City of Vain Deaths come about?”

”I don't know.”

Shen Lian sighed, ”You're not being honest.”

His piercing gaze fell on her, and it immediately made her groan in pain.

She wanted to escape, but it was as if she was trapped in a quicksand. She could not make use of her Sky Demon power due to the influence of Tai Wei. Under the influence of such horrifying spiritual power, she almost could not move an inch.

A trail of darkness appeared all in a sudden. It swallowed the Sky Demon, who then disappeared entirely.

Shen Lian stood silently in Taiwei Pavilion, and spoke, ”I know you did it. Regardless of the reason you stayed here, whether as a spiritual consciousness or an incarnation, please tell me what is this for. As the Chief of Qing Xuan, I have the right to know.”

Nobody could answer him. There was only silence.

As usual, Shen Lian tried to look for it in every corner of Qing Xuan. He knew that it was impossible for anyone in the world to create something out of thin air. Regardless of how crafty the person was, there would be evidence left behind.

The old Daoist's cultivation experience had reached a level that not even he could find the trace he had left behind.

Regardless of the relationship between the Sky Demon and the old Daoist, the City of Vain Deaths was the link between them.

He did not believe the old Daoist would want to bring harm to Qing Xuan, but it was yet another unexplained mystery.

A page of golden scripture descended from the sky. It had little light dots. The mysterious aura made Shen Lian's heartbeat increase. On top of it, there were countless tiny ancient symbols. They were densely packed on the scripture.

By the time Shen Lian got held of the scripture, the person had already reached for an escape.

He did not have time to look at the scripture in detail. His body moved as fast as lightning in the void. He was chasing after the smell that remained until he almost broke through the atmosphere, the smell disappeared.

At the last moment, Shen Lian grasped that the vital force came from the old Daoist. If he could catch it, he could then find out where the old Daoist was and get his questions answered.

Even though it happened slowly, it was just in time.

The page of golden scripture in his hand recorded a dense amount of wriggling ancient symbols.

The symbols were called 'tadpole writing'. With Shen Lian's knowledge, to be able to transcribe the densely packed passage would take a long time.

Perhaps the scripture was a form of compensation from the old Daoist, and it was also for him to stop asking questions.

Despite Qing Xuan having one hundred and eight techniques, the mysterious aura of the scripture amazed Shen Lian. It was not the Qi of Dao one could observe often throughout one's life.

He could see there was endless Qi of vitality which was gathering towards the scripture which then formed into the shape of dragon and tiger. The page of scripture was still swallowing the Qi of Vitality of heaven and earth and it almost flew out of his hand. It seemed to have gained humanity. The tadpole writing inside began to come alive. It released thousands of white rays, achieving Baoguang's heaven shaking effect.

Shen Lian could not help but to make use of the forbidden technique to seal the page of scripture.

Fortunately, he was at a height of several hundred thousand feet. Some slight disturbances would not attract too much attention, not to mention it was still within Qing Xuan's territory.
