As for how to preserve the memories of a deceased person from another realm, he would probably have to ask the Kings of Hell for advice. However, the Thousand Faces clearly did it without the Kings of Hell's knowledge, which seems to corroborate Qing Ning's statement.
"The reason why Qianmian can retain his memory through reincarnation is because he is a Mahayana powerhouse of my Qingqiu clan! Qianmian was able to enter and leave the underworld with his memory intact only after completing the task given to him by my Qingqiu clan."
"If it weren't for Qianmian's sensibility in willingly engaging in such a detrimental act to his cultivation, his little monkey clan would have been wiped out by my Qingqiu clan long ago!" Qing Ning shouted loudly.
Is this for real? Wang Yao was stunned by Qing Ning's words. Although he instinctively wanted to disbelieve it, he had to admit that Qing Ning's words were very likely true.
As a holy clan that once fought against the Heavenly Court, it is almost natural that the Qingqiu clan has several Mahayana cultivators.
After entering the demon realm, Wang Yao stayed in Dongchuan, forgetting that the demon realm was a realm where Mahayana cultivators existed, and those Mahayana cultivators were probably hiding among the powerful demon clans of the past.
On the other hand, he had only considered that Qianmian died of old age and went to the underworld, but he forgot that there was another possibility: that Qianmian committed suicide to go to the underworld for some purpose. If that were the case, then Qing Ning's statement that he deliberately went to do something that would greatly damage his cultivation was not wrong at all.
After all, giving up his hard-earned rank and physical body to go to the underworld was a huge loss for him. Even if he retained his memories of his past life and could cultivate faster in the next life, he would never willingly do it for any benefit unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, Tongxuan, who had spent a long time in the demon realm, had never heard of the name of the Hu clan. How could the Hu clan be a powerful group in the demon realm? So in the end, only one possibility remained: the Hu clan could only be a pawn driven by a powerful group in the demon realm!
"Lord Yue Lao, you killed Qianmian's grandson in the Shu Clan. If it weren't for my Qingqiu Clan suppressing him, do you think he would have allowed the Mao Clan and the Shu Clan, these two treacherous clans, to survive until now? The Mao Clan is quite clever, finding the Giant Elephant Clan as a shield. What does the Shu Clan have?"
"It's all because my Qingqiu clan is here to block us," Qing sneered.
"Isn't the Giant Elephant Clan in the Southern Wilderness?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"You think the Giant Elephant Clan is the one that lost out to the Yi Clan in a territorial dispute and fled to the Southern Wilderness? Lord Yue Lao knows too little about my Holy Domain. The Giant Elephant Clan was once a royal family of the Holy Domain, but like my Qingqiu Clan, they were dismembered into many branches," Qing Ning said calmly.
"You mean... the Mammoth Clan is also a Giant Elephant Clan?" Wang Yao immediately understood Qing Ning's implication.
"The Mammoth Clan was the true giant elephant clan in the past. A similar example is our Dongchuan Bone Shattering Clan, which was originally the Holy Domain royal clan, the Dongxiang Wolf Clan." Qing Ning nodded.
No wonder the shrewd Mao tribe is so determined to form a marriage alliance with the Mammoth tribe, which keeps a very low profile in the Northern Plains. This is clearly a case of clinging to a powerful figure and currying favor. With the support of the former royal family, even the Qingqiu tribe will give them some face. Only then can the Mao tribe truly be safe in the demon realm.
That's why they no longer care that the Shu tribe can obtain the "Blood Burning Manual" to enhance the strength of the entire tribe. After all, how can something created by the Thousand Faces of the Chess Piece compare to the solid Mahayana foundation of the Giant Elephant tribe?
At this point, Wang Yao understood everything. After the great war between the demon realm and the heavenly court thousands of years ago, the hundred kings of the Holy Domain in the past all kept a low profile. Some of them were truly disheartened and no longer had any improper thoughts. They truly dismembered their own races and sought survival in the demon realm as weaklings.
However, some groups, though also fragmented and forced to change their names and keep a low profile, probably still harbor hopes of making a comeback.
There are also groups like the Qingqiu Clan, who have been plotting and scheming in the demon realm, plotting a counterattack and even going so far as to collude with the foreign gods.
"Since you already know about the plans of the Shu and Mao tribes and us, you must understand that our plans are greatly detrimental to the tribal alliance. Why then does the Qingqiu tribe want to stop Qianmian from seeking revenge against the Mao and Shu tribes?" Wang Yao then asked.
After the tribal delegation was wiped out, Qinghe and Luo Nairong participated in the entire conversation between the Mao and Shu tribes and Wang Yao and the Netherworld Ghosts at the Shu tribe's guesthouse. Not to mention Qinghe, at the very least, the Liang tribe's ambassador Luo Nairong should have reported the contents of the conversation to Qing Ning in their entirety.
So even if Qianmian was kept in the dark, Qingning was absolutely not. However, now Qingning said that the Qingqiu Clan had stopped Qianmian's revenge, which made Wang Yao unable to understand the Qingqiu Clan's actions.
"How can our grand plan be disrupted by the mere hatred of the Hu tribe?" Qing Ning sneered. "If the Mao tribe doesn't seek the help of the Giant Elephant tribe, we can certainly allow Thousand Faces to take action in the Northern Plains. After all, those exiles from the near west are indeed quite annoying."
"But with the addition of the Giant Elephant Clan, the situation is different. The Giant Elephant Clan is the group we need to unite with. We hope that the Giant Elephant Clan will eventually stand with us and overthrow the tyranny of the Heavenly Court together. So, since the Mao Clan has stood with the Giant Elephant Clan, we might as well wait and see."
"Once we unify the Holy Domain, the Giant Elephant Clan will no longer be content to remain confined to a corner of the Northern Plains. At that time, they will naturally become an important ally for us to conquer the Heavenly Court."
"As for the Shu tribe, with our Liang tribe here, what use is the Hu tribe? Our plan is naturally to welcome back Lady Zhemei. With Lady Zhemei, I believe our grand plan will have a greater chance of success."
"The Liang and Shu tribes have already signed a military alliance. As long as the Liang tribe doesn't make a move, the Shu tribe will never launch a preemptive attack. So we're not in a hurry. The Qingqiu tribe assembly, Lady Zhemei, and then the Shu tribe—this order cannot be reversed."
