At first, I didn't pay much attention, but as the investigation deepened, I discovered that this evil power originated from the ancient times.
However, as the death toll continues to rise, this force has shown signs of gradually spiraling out of control.
It penetrated the hearts and minds of almost every Xiongnu person.
Of the three thousand soldiers I sent to investigate this corrupted force, only one survived.
The rest were completely devoured by the evil influence and became extremely bizarre entities, seriously threatening the safety of the entire Central Region.
The surviving generals told me that the Xiongnu state had a long-standing tradition of worshipping evil gods.
However, the evil god did not bring the Xiongnu the life they desired.
Conversely, any Xiongnu people who worshipped evil gods would be corrupted and become exceptionally brutal.
Later, successive Xiongnu leaders, for the safety of their people,
They made a deal with the evil god, agreeing to sacrifice three thousand living people each year to alleviate the spread of the evil.
The Xiongnu population was small, so they could only plunder border people from the Central Plains to offer as sacrifices to the evil forces as sustenance.
However, as time went on, successive leaders of the Xiongnu gradually mastered the characteristics of the evil influence.
This gave them immense power, making it easier to control the Xiongnu people, and they became increasingly greedy and brutal.
However, everything that acquires external power comes at a price; the evil spirit parasitized the bodies of successive Xiongnu kings.
This can slow down the spread of the virus among the tribe.
But with the death of the Xiongnu king, the evil influence lost its power to be suppressed and began to spread wildly.
I executed the Xiongnu king at the time, unaware of what the "evil contamination" was, which directly led to its rampant spread among the Xiongnu people.
Therefore, for the sake of peace in the Central Plains, and so that your Xiongnu tribe can continue to multiply,
I had no choice but to order the slaughter of all those corrupted by evil.
This includes not only you Xiongnu people, but also the border people of my Longhan Dynasty.
I could not allow this terrifying force to wreak havoc throughout the Central Region, which is why I resorted to this desperate measure.
This is the truth of what happened back then. Do you understand?
After hearing all this, Xuan Hao Hongye was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"No, that's impossible, I don't believe it."
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but you should know that I have no reason to deceive a dying man like you with such a thing."
When Shen Zhao heard the words "evil staining," his heart instinctively trembled.
"So, the scourge of evil corruption wasn't just confined to the Western Buddhist Kingdom; it already existed in the outer regions of the Central Region long before?"
Although he had already learned of this secret in the archives, he was still utterly shocked to hear Song Yanran say it to him.
