Chapter 1007 - Old Mother Ying Shan (1/2)
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
Ying Shan City was one of the few grandest cities in the entire Southern Cloud Nation. It was vast and was also the hometown of the Ying Shan ancestral family.
Within the ancestral family, there was a lofty snow mountain. At the peak of this mountain were ten over houses. It was peaceful. This was the residence of the Ying Shan Clan ancestor, ‘Old Mother Ying Shan’.
“Ancestor.” An elder stood there respectfully.
Old Mother Ying Shan sat cross-legged on a huge rock looking down the enormous Ying Shan Clan mansion. She shook her head, saying: “That little fellow called Xue Ying has such a great innate talent. It’s a pity that he was forced to be given birth in just 15 short years. Otherwise, if he could be nurtured for several hundred more years, the bloodline in his body would likely be stronger. What a pity. Oh right, regarding that Chan Yu Yan Zhen which you reported earlier, were you able to confirm that she is the murderer?”
“Not yet.”
This white-haired ancestral family elder responded politely, “We have utilized the illusory realm array to bring her into an illusory realm. Any target would have to obediently answer the truth in the illusory realm. However, she said she wasn’t the murderer in the illusory realm and was framed by someone else.”
“Oh?” Old Mother Ying Shan’s face which was filled with wrinkles remained emotionless.
“There are two possibilities. One, she was indeed framed by someone else. Two, she should have altered part of her memories.” This ancestral family elder said, “Since her memories were wiped clean, there is no way we could investigate it.”
To the expert cultivators, it wasn’t difficult to wipe off one’s memories. But it would mean a complete loss of memories on one part. The target would even think that his memories after the alter were real.
“We have tried our best to check into other possible trails, yet all of them were cut. Other than a small section that we could not confirm, what we could investigate included evidence that was destroyed by Chan Yu Yan Zhen.” The ancestral family elder said, “Right now, since we do not have any evidence, we can only deduce that Chan Yu Yan Zhen had committed the act and altered her memories.”
“She is a disciple from the aristocratic clan. In order to kill her, we must have the evidence. Otherwise, we can only wait for the king to act.” The ancestral family elder said.
The disciples of an aristocratic clan had special rights.
The Southern Cloud Nation had its own laws. Aristocratic clan disciples could not be casually killed. Naturally, people like Marquis Ardent Fire and Old Mother Ying Shan who were conferred marquis and conferred king had greater power. They could kill the other party directly.
“This young fellow Ardent Fire has actually caused such a thing to happen in the Marquisdom that he governed.” Old Mother Ying Shan frowned.
That time, this marriage was personally asked for by Marquis Ardent Fire–the marriage with Chan Yu Clan.
One had to know there were only three female conferred kings within the Southern Cloud Nation. The relationship between Old Mother Ying Shan and the ancestor of Chan Yu Clan, ‘Granny Chan Yu’ was excellent; they were practically sisters. This marriage was even brought up by Old Mother Ying Shan to Granny Chan Yu.
“The discipline of Chan Yu Yan Zhen isn’t strict enough. Retract all her identity from the Marquisdom and expel her from the place.” Old Mother Ying Shan casually said.
Looking at this from the marriage and how she was the one that mentioned this to Granny Chan Yu, Old Mother Ying Shan would be merciful to the other party.
But after retracting her identity and expelling her from the Marquisdom meant that Chan Yu Yan Zhen would no longer be an aristocratic clan disciple. Even though she was a Unity realm with a fourth level power, she would still be a commoner. It was a minor matter for aristocratic clan disciples to kill her. She could also no longer be able to touch the territory, cavern-dwellings, shops and all resources under Ying Shan Lie Hu’s name.
“This is something that I personally prepared for that little fellow Xue Ying to nurture his bloodline. He should still have great potential, and whatever we can dig should be dug.” Old Mother Ying Shan threw out a storage wristband, “As for other resources and treasures, everything should be arranged according to the identity as a golden order disciple. Alright, hurry up and send it over.”
“Yes.” This elder acknowledged.
Old Mother Ying Shan’s eyes were filled with hope. This was the one with the strongest bloodline coming from the Ying Shan clan since the start. She harbored great hope for him. After all, only cultivators within a clan were truly united on the Realm Heart Great Land.
It was common for a clan to escape to another nation once they could no longer exist in the former nation they were in.
Strictly speaking…
The Black Devil Four Nations were part of one of the six great ancient nations, ‘Summer Wind Ancient Nation’ during the early days. Over the long years, and after the consecutive Wars of the Ancient Nations, some clans decided to leave Summer Wind Ancient Nation and occupy a territory before building up their own nation. Some clans were even forced to escape because they offended someone, changing their loyalty to another nation.
Hence, when a genius popped up in a clan, the clan would definitely nurture him with all its strength. It would also nurture every single infant conscientiously. It was only due to the enormous size of the clan that made the existence of black sheeps unavoidable.
‘Let’s see.’
‘Let’s have a look when this little fellow Xue Ying reaches the Unity realm.’ Old Mother Ying Shan thought, ‘We would be able to deduce the potential of his bloodline through the period he takes to reach the Unity realm.’
