Disciple, Don’t Cause Trouble, Master Won’t Leave the Mountain! - Chapter 176
Chapter 176: The Will of the Northern Clan
The man’s eyes dimmed as he said this.
Jiang Yun also fell into deep thought.
“So this so-called power of darkness is the Power of Blood Shadow?”
The man nodded.
“After the group of outsiders came here, they bewitched their minds and tried to recruit many people as their minions. However, those who were bewitched disowned their families. In the end, all of them became their puppets. From that moment on, the Northern Region became extremely unstable. After the Dragon God found out about this, he was extremely furious. He gathered us and taught us the power of extreme cold to resist this evil power.”
So, the power in the man’s body was given by the Frost Dragon.
A thousand years ago, to fight against the Power of Blood Shadow, the Frost Dragon gathered its most loyal followers and bestowed them with its own powerful power of extreme cold. With this, it built an army that could fight against the Blood Shadow Sect. Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun had already seen such power in the battle earlier on. It was indeed very powerful.
However, the Power of Blood Shadow was a scourge to the common people. It was unknown what kind of evil technique it was. Even the army of cultivators formed by the Frost Dragon, which had the power of extreme cold, could not contend with it. Once the Power of Blood Shadow entered their bodies, even if it did not take their lives during the battle, it would slowly torture the injured to death in the future.
On the carving on the stone door, the Frost Dragon released its spiritual power and formed the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma that only appeared once in a thousand years. It was to heal the wounds that the Power of Blood Shadow had brought to the warriors on the battlefield.
No one knew the true purpose of the Blood Shadow Sect.
As the war continued, the loyal followers of the Frost Dragon also died on the battlefield. The clansmen of the Northern Clan either joined the Blood Shadow Sect and became puppets, or they died under the Demonic Claws of the Blood Shadow Sect.
The Frost Dragon was also severely injured in the battle with the Blood Shadow Sect. In the end, it decided to use its life force to freeze all the intruders, so that they would not go out and wreak havoc, it also took this opportunity to protect the final peace of the Northern Region.
Before it died, the Frost Dragon had distributed some of its power to its followers, granting them extremely long lives and powerful spiritual power, it ordered them to guard the various sins and ice buried under the ten thousand miles of frozen soil for generations.
And now, of the twelve people who had guarded this land together, only this warrior in front of Jiang Yun was left.
After listening to the man’s story, the two of them shook their heads.
In the legends they had heard about the Frost Dragon, they had portrayed it as an extremely evil existence that released an extremely cold force that brought about a bone-piercing winter. But now, from the murals to the story the man had told, the two of them realized that their view of the Frost Dragon had changed drastically.
“But now, this power has reappeared in the human world,” Jiang Yun said calmly as he looked at the carvings on the stone pillar.
“Impossible. The seal created by the extreme cold power of the Dragon God is unbreakable for tens of millions of years. How can it reappear in the human world just like that? Moreover, I have been guarding this place for almost three thousand years. Until now, I haven’t seen any abnormal movements in the seal.” The man didn’t seem to believe Jiang Yun’s words.
“I think that the Blood Shadow Sect’s henchmen who came to this frozen land back then were only a small part of it. I don’t know where its roots lie, but after hearing your story, I knew that the Blood Shadow Sect had been growing in the shadows of this continent for at least three thousand years.”
This was also what Jiang Yun was most worried about after listening to this man’s story.
The Blood Shadow Sect had existed in this world three thousand years ago, and the first batch of cultivators at that time had not even come out yet. From this, it could be seen that the Power of Blood Shadow was already above all spiritual power, otherwise, the Frost Dragon’s powerful extreme cold power would not appear weak in front of him.
The man did not continue to refute Jiang Yun.
“To tell you the truth, this is the reason why we urgently need the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. Now, the Power of Blood Shadow has arrived. We need the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma to save the innocent people who have been corrupted by this evil power.”
The man did not say anything at the moment.
“Forget it. I have guarded this land for thousands of years. I have seen the harm of the Power of Blood Shadow with my own eyes.” The man sighed and put the katana on his waist.
Although the man was wearing a mask, Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun could still feel the pain from him.
The man pressed his palm on the stone tablet. The moment his palm touched the stone tablet, a crack appeared on the huge stone tablet, and it slowly opened to both sides. Then, a pitch-black tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
It seemed that no one had walked through this tunnel for a long time. The moment the stone tablet opened, a bone-piercing cold wind rushed out of the cave, almost causing Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun to shiver.
“Follow this secret tunnel all the way up, and you will reach the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. If you are lucky, you will be able to pick this Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.” The man walked to the side, the entrance of the passage was completely displayed in front of the two of them.
“It seems that no one has walked through it for a long time.”
“Yeah, it’s been at least two or three hundred years, maybe four or five hundred years. In short, I can’t remember it clearly.” The man’s voice became a little heavy.
“Haven’t you thought of leaving this place to take a look at the outside world?” Qin Xiaoxi suddenly asked.
“I have, but this is my duty. I can not abandon my dead compatriots and the Dragon God who sacrificed itself for us and leave this place. Although I am the only one left, I will stick to this place and fulfill the will of the Dragon God and his clansmen when they were alive.
