Chapter 480 Astrology (1/2)

Following the little girl's memory, that was a main hall. He sent the little girl in, and there was a person wearing a black robe seated above.

When it reached this point, the memory suddenly started to vanished like the stars, it could not be replicated.

The person that he spotted was also the one that Shen Lian saw.

”Who's that?” Shen Lian's tone was slightly more serious. From Lei Nuo's memory, he could not differentiate the actual situation of the person wearing a black robe.

”The hierophant,” Lei Nuo said.

”Who's the hierophant?” Shen Lian continued to ask.

”I don't know. He's already been living for a long time when I was born. When my great grandfather's great grandfather was born, he's already the hierophant. In Da Xia, he's the only one that cut off the ties with the Book of Life and Death aside from Emperor Xia.”

Shen Lian asked, ”then where is he now?”

”I don't know. Nobody could ask about the hierophant's whereabouts, even the Emperor King isn't an exception.” Lei Nuo finally recalled about the little girl. She was being chosen by the hierophant and thus was taken to the main hall which served as a place for Da Xia's ancestor Sacrificial Ritual. It seemed like after that time, the hierophant did not appear anymore.

Shen Lian was clear that Lei Nuo did not lie. A person that could cut ties with the Book of Life and Death and lived for so long must be a very powerful existence. As for the Emperor Xia who had also cut ties with the Book of Life and Death, it was not surprising at all for Shen Lian. The Emperor Xia had such mighty force and thus it was definitely not difficult achieve it. Unfortunately, his situation was special and thus he could not feel how the Book of Life and Death looked like.

If one can control the living things' life or death, he could not do it. The Book of Life and Death must have had hidden some significant secrets which aroused his curiosity.

Temporarily, there was nothing that Shen Lian had to ask Lei Nuo. He needed to wait for a few more months until the Qi and blood essence in Lei Nuo's body had sufficiently agglomerated and then he would extract it and use it to explore the secrets behind the bloodline of these royal families in Da Xia.

Lei Nuo had completed the instructions for Guan Longzi. Initially, he wanted to send Shen Lian out himself but Shen Lian rejected. He did not say any threatening word to Lei Nuo. This made Lei Nuo feel even more terrified because he could see Shen LIan's stamina and fearlessness.

In the end, he still sent the same imperial guard as before to send Shen Lian to the Dynasty School in South City.

Firstly, they found the deaf and dumb servant. The Black Tiger was currently enjoying the highly skilled massage. This was the real tiger's life. It was a little reluctant to leave.

Shen Lian only took a glance at it and the Black Tiger quickly stand up and walked towards Shen Lian with a face of trying to ingratiate him.

Suddenly, the imperial guard felt that this tiger did not only have ordinary spirituality. Its looks of adulating its master gave him a feeling that this Black Tiger was like a big black dog wagging its tail to please its owner.

Along the journey out together with the Black Tiger, there were a few times the imperial guard wanted to talk to Shen Lian. After all, he had noticed that Shen Lian got special treatment from Lei Nuo and he had never seen the Prefect Grand Usher value a young lad so much.

The grudges before this was already negligible. He did not intentionally wanted to fawn upon Shen Lian, just that his instinct and his curiosity about Shen Lian's background prompted him to do so.

When they reached a junction, there were two servants carrying a corpse.

Shen Lian could clearly see the corpse belonged to the maidservant who chatted with him previously. Her internal organs were already shattered into pieces, there was no sign of life force anymore. Her soul already vanished and so even Shen Lian could not revive her.

He approached the servants to stop them and asked, ”how did she die?”

The servants could not recognise him but they knew the imperial guard.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The imperial guard thought why Shen Lian wanted to mind other people's business, after all there were people dying in Lei's Residence every day.
