Chapter 406 About Kuilong
A quarter of an hour later.
A long sword that was all black, blood veins covering the entire blade, a man with an extremely terrified expression, an old and strange laugh It had been more than half a year since Wei Changtian last saw this scene. Except for the change of the death row prisoner, everything else was so similar.
“Hehehehe!”
"Boy, long time no see."
The sound of the black sword made the shackled man's eyes widen. He crawled to the corner of the room using his hands and feet, his eyes full of fear.
However, Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to this, and just stared at the Xuantian Sword and said slowly: "Senior, can you still mobilize Kuilong's people?"
"I want to make another deal with you."
The last time Wei Changtian summoned the residual soul from the Xuantian Sword was in the Tianluo Sect.
At that time, he had just returned from Jizhou after meeting Wei Yanyu, and unexpectedly received a token engraved with "Kuailong" from Old Zhang.
This incident made Wei Changtian eager to know the truth about Kuilong, so he made a deal with Canhun.
The five death row prisoners, with a total lifespan of three hundred years, were exchanged for some information about Kuilong.
From the remnant soul, Wei Changtian learned that Kuilong was actually a mysterious organization that was established thousands of years ago and is still operating today.
The original intention of establishing Kuilong was to pursue the first-level realm that no one had ever reached, and many attempts were made to this end.
They would search the world for all kinds of talented cultivators, and then train them in various cultivation paths from an early age, in an attempt to find a way to break through the shackles of the first rank.
But unfortunately, until two thousand years ago, this great undertaking had never made any substantial progress.
However, Kuilong did gain second-grade masters far superior to any other forces because of this. It was an unexpected blessing that he became the number one sect in the world and was the most popular for a while.
Perhaps it is because of too many failures in the pursuit of "one step forward", or perhaps it is because of the expansion of this secular power.
So one thousand five hundred years ago, the first split occurred within Kuilong.
Simply put, there is a group of people who are no longer willing to explore the unreachable first-level realm.
They don't want to be "experimental subjects" and lose their realm or even their lives in vain. Instead, they think there is nothing wrong with being the "number one in the world".
On the contrary, another group of people still have to firmly pursue that original goal.
As time went on, the conflict between the two sides intensified, and finally reached an irreconcilable level.
Thus, a war that was almost unknown to the outside world began quietly.
This was a protracted war that spanned decades.
The final result is naturally that the "giving up faction" who have more external forces wins.
Kuilong was divided, and the "holdout faction" was driven underground and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
It wasn't until a thousand years ago that the appearance of two figures completely turned the situation upside down again.
Both of them belong to the "holdout faction".
One of them is of the first rank, and the other is a true immortal.
The emergence of the first-grade realm and even the true immortals undoubtedly proved the success of the "stick-together faction", although no one knows how they did it.
But these people are quite vindictive.
They began to wipe out Kuilong's "giving up faction" through assassination, and killed hundreds of top three masters in a few years.
The "giving up faction" who were unable to resist the True Immortals had no choice but to admit defeat and return to their original state of an "underground organization", which has continued to this day.
They still have enormous power and still have countless masters under their command.
However, the fear of the "immortal sword" that could chop down at any time still lingers.
They no longer dared to act in a high-profile manner, and generally would not interfere in the affairs of other countries. They just continued to search for various cultivation geniuses in the world, attempting once again to find a way to break through to the first level and then become immortals.
In fact, at this time, the goals of the "giving up faction" and the "holding on faction" have become consistent again, and the latter has even achieved this goal.
However, the "sticklers" who had achieved their revenge just disappeared, leaving only an unsolved mystery about "becoming an immortal" to the few people who knew the truth.
No one knows how to break through the first level and become an immortal.
All we know is that it can be done.
In this way, over the next few hundred years, the "giving up faction" continued to try various methods on their own while trying to find clues of the "holding on faction" in order to unravel the secret.
The five masters who died in Yanyun Mountain that night were chosen by Kuilong under such circumstances and thus became second-grade masters.
They cannot participate in any worldly power struggles, and need to work for Kuilong while they are alive, searching for all clues about the "holdouts", and then try to break through the first level as "experimental subjects" before the deadline.
And if they unfortunately died due to other reasons before that, Kuilong would not avenge them.
Because today's "giving up faction" is the same as the previous "holding faction", and they are no longer interested in anything else except becoming an immortal. The above is everything that the remnant soul told Wei Changtian about Kui Long, and it is also the reason why Wei Changtian no longer worried about Kui Long's revenge after that.
As for the origin of the remnant soul, the original book only mentioned that it had been in the Xuantian Sword for thousands of years.
According to this calculation, they should be the first group of people to establish Kuilong.
Since it has been staying in the Xuantian Sword all this time, why does it know what happened afterwards?
How can it mobilize the masters among Kuilong?
Wei Changtian had asked questions like these before, but the remnant soul did not answer.
And the reason why he awakened the remnant soul again was not to ask these questions.
The first-grade true immortal is too far away from me.
It’s really useful to borrow some experts to use.
"Senior, I need to borrow five second-rank masters to help me do something."
In the stunned eyes of the condemned prisoners in the corner, Wei Changtian said calmly: "How many years of life do I have? Name your price."
“Five.”
The remnant soul paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Boy, I can find the person for you, but I need to explain it to you first."
"They can do the job, but if it involves killing people, they won't help you kill emperors, generals, and the like."
Is this what they call not getting involved in worldly power struggles?
"Don't worry, senior, I'm not going to kill anyone."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I am going to save people."
"That's fine."
The remnant soul was straightforward. Upon hearing this, he immediately offered a condition: "One thousand years of life. Pay first and then I'll do the work."
"A thousand years?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes.
In a thousand years, even if a death row prisoner can live for another thirty years, that would still require more than thirty people.
It’s not that there aren’t so many death row prisoners in Shuzhou, he just feels that this remnant soul is asking for too much.
Although it is unknown how much of his life Xiao Feng paid in the battle at Yanyun Mountain, in the original novel he only spent twenty years of his life to exchange for three second-rank masters.
How come it's been a thousand years for me? "Okay, a thousand years is a thousand years."
Although he was a little unhappy, Wei Changtian was too lazy to bargain and turned around to ask Chen Bo to arrange people.
But just before he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but ask an extra question.
"Senior, you also helped Xiao Feng find five second-grade warriors last time. I wonder how much life span you asked him for at that time?"
"Thirty years."
The remnant soul gave a straightforward answer, and then sneered as if he had guessed what Wei Changtian was thinking, "Why, do you think I am partial to one and not to the other?"
"How about this, if you are willing to sacrifice your own lifespan like Xiao Feng, I will only give you thirty years. How about that?"
"Forget it."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and rejected the suggestion without hesitation.
However, the remnant soul suddenly became interested.
"Hehehe, kid, I'm suddenly curious about something."
"If I must have your lifespan this time, would you be willing to give it to me?"
“.”
Wei Changtian paused slightly without much hesitation.
"Ken."
"Hehehe! Are you serious? You weren't like this the last time I saw you."
"senior."
Wei Changtian looked back at the Xuantian Sword.
“People change all the time.”
