196 Secret Bloodline
"Amitabha." Wu Xin sighed and said to the spirit of the weapon, "I will pray for your salvation."
After the weapon spirit had vented its anger, it was sniffing and snorting, "I don't need you to save me. I will never be reincarnated anyway. I want all the Qiao family members to die!"
"But you have restrictions on your body and cannot harm the Qiao family." Jiang Xin squatted beside him sympathetically.
The spirit of the weapon froze and looked at her in shock: "Why do you even know this?"
"Don't you know it just by taking a look?" Jiang Xin asked as a matter of course, and turned to look at his fellow brothers for recognition.
The brothers were all silent.
Wu Xin took the initiative to take over the conversation: "I am blind now and can't see anything."
Jiang Xin wanted to ask his brothers, but Chu Linfeng said first: "Since you can't kill the descendants of the Qiao family, there are also Qiao family members among the cultivators in the Refining Void Stage who entered here before, why can you kill them?"
Jiang Xin saw through even the biggest secret. The weapon spirit lost its last bit of struggle and lay on the ground like a dead fish: "I just weakened their strength and trapped them here."
"Some of these people died because their lifespans ran out, and some were killed by people or monsters who entered this place later. I can influence them to a certain extent and make them go berserk."
"The descendants of the Qiao family cannot harm each other. Did this rule come from you?" Zhao Shi asked.
"I guess so. Qiao Yanqing knew that I hated him, so he sealed me here before he died and didn't allow any members of the Qiao family to enter because he was afraid that I would kill all his descendants." The spirit of the weapon gritted its teeth, wishing it could chew Qiao Yanqing's bones to pieces.
"I refused to accept it. When he set a ban on me and prohibited me from harming the Qiao family's bloodline, I twisted the rule and made it cover all the descendants of the Qiao family."
At that time, the descendants of the Qiao family had low cultivation levels. If they faced the rules specially customized for them by Qiao Yanqing, they would most likely be killed by the tribulation power contained in the rules.
Unfortunately, the rules were weakened in the process of distortion and became what they are now.
Speaking of this Tribulation-crossing monk, the former "Blood Demon", Chu Linfeng was a little scared: "How did he die?"
"Mingchen destroyed most of his cultivation, and with the little that was left he had to be on guard against plots against him by me and others. He was seriously injured and could not be cured for a long time, so he died of exhausted lifespan. It was too good for him to die so comfortably!" The spirit of the weapon made a pooh sound, full of indignation.
"It's good that he's dead." Chu Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this evil cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage would suddenly jump out.
Jiang Xin felt strange: "When he established the Qiao family, he should have known the condition of his body. Shouldn't he have been anxious to heal his injuries? Why did he establish a family?"
If it were other cultivators, they would establish a family simply because they missed their family members and wanted a family, or they would rely on their bloodline to cultivate a group of their own forces.
However, Qiao Yanqing was a well-known evil cultivator in Xizhou, and he was seriously injured. It would be most appropriate for him to hide away and recuperate at this time. Setting up a family would be conspicuous and could easily bring danger.
In order to refine spirits for his own magical weapons, Qiao Yanqing sacrificed countless of his own children. It is even more impossible that he established a family just for the sake of family affection.
Moreover, as a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it would be difficult to leave offspring even if the partner of dual cultivation was a mortal.
The spirit of the weapon said that Qiao Yanqing had many children, which meant that he had stretched this battle line for a long time. It was very likely that he had been giving birth to children continuously for decades, selecting children with spiritual roots to train.
Everyone couldn't come up with an answer, and the weapon spirit said unhappily: "The scourge has been here for a thousand years. He died himself, and he didn't want the world to have an easy life. Many of the Qiao family members who came here killed each other in order to get me."
At this point, fearing that Jiang Xin would think he was lying, the spirit added, "The rules outside have been distorted by me, but here the rules are back to normal, and the Qiao family can kill each other."
This is a secret that only those who enter this place know.
All the people who had entered here before died except Zhao Shi.
The spirit of the weapon will naturally take advantage of this and make them kill each other.
He hated everyone in the Qiao family.
He wanted to leave here and didn't want to be manipulated by others anymore.
After Jiang Xin raised the question, Lin Yan also found that there was something wrong: "Not only what Junior Sister said, Qiao Yanqing's last words were also very strange. On the one hand, he didn't allow anyone to enter here to touch the spirit-calling flags of gods and ghosts, but on the other hand, he hinted that his descendants could enter and find out after they cultivated to the Void Refining Stage."
Previously, they thought that the forbidden area was dangerous and could only be dealt with after reaching the Void Refinement Stage, so the ancestor of the Qiao family left such a last word.
But now that he had come into contact with the weapon spirit, although the weapon spirit was a little weak and could be restrained by the Moonlight Stone in the Fusion Stage, he himself was in the Tribulation Stage and could easily deal with the Void Refinement Stage cultivators who had no means of restraint.
He carried a ban that forbade him to kill the descendants of the Qiao family, yet he still killed all the descendants of the Qiao family who entered here, which shows how powerful he was.
As the refiner and owner, Qiao Yanqing should understand the tyrannical nature of the weapon spirit after it is dominated by resentment.
If he really wanted to protect future generations, he would definitely explain the situation to them.
Instead of leaving such vague and contradictory wills, the Qiao family has been obsessed with this secret treasure to this day.
Jiang Xin couldn't figure it out and decided not to think about it anymore.
"Now that we're here, let's take him away." Jiang Xin rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the weapon spirit happily.
Such a powerful secret treasure cannot be left to the Qiao family.
I want to bring it back to the sect, put it at the door of my house, and decorate the gate of Tianshui Sect.
The spirit was a little afraid of her, but unwilling to admit defeat, and warned her: "Qiao Yanqing has nailed me here, and no one can take me away. If not, why would I want to take over his body and let him stay in the God and Ghost Summoning Banner instead of me?"
"You said before that you wanted to take over my body because of my special physique. What's special about my physique?" Zhao Shi asked.
When joining the Tianshui Sect, one needs to test one's spiritual roots and qualifications. If one has a special physique, it can usually be found out at that time.
The spirit of the weapon curled its lips and said, "I don't know what it is exactly, but I vaguely feel that I can use your body to cheat the rules set by Qiao Yanqing and let me leave here. This is the intuition of the spirit of the weapon."
Lin Yan whispered, "Fourth Junior Brother, when Master took you to find Grandmaster to detoxify, Grandmaster also mentioned this matter."
Zhaoshi was surprised.
Lin Yan explained: "Master said that your original power is different from that of ordinary people, and speculated that your ancestors were mixed-blood. Specifically, which race was it mixed with? Because this aura is extremely faint and rare, and it is also secretive, he has no way to distinguish it."
Chu Linfeng didn't understand: "What do you mean by having a secret?"
"It's just that it's impossible to investigate and trace the origin of the bloodline. Even the master can't figure it out. It's at least a secret at the level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage." Lin Yan said.
Because this aura was so faint that it was almost non-existent, as if there had been a hybrid among the ancestors many generations ago, only a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage like Dao Zun Zhuyue could detect it.
Jiang Yichen checked in this direction but found no clues.
At that time, Taoist Master Zhuyue wanted to tell Zhaoshi about this discovery, but Zhaoshi happened to have an attack of toxins in his body, so he was busy treating his wounds and delayed the matter.
Afterwards, everyone present thought that others had already told Zhao Shi about this.
Because there was no way to help him find his family, no one dared to mention this, so Zhao Shizhi only knew about it now.
Now that even the spirit of the weapon says so, it seems that this "secret bloodline" originates from Zhaoshi's father's line.
