As the group walked together, the conversation inevitably turned to Qingwu.
Tu Er, listening to what Hua and Chu Yu were saying, interjected, "If it's true that Qingwu framed Hua, then does that mean there was a traitor on our side back then?"
He looked at Tu Er with a kind expression.
"Tu Er, I think you need to go home and study harder."
"Pfft"
Mo Qi chuckled softly beside him. Little Mengqi didn't understand why, but seeing Mo Qi laugh, it also laughed.
Tu Er became embarrassed and asked, "What are you two laughing at?"
Mo Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "My apologies, my apologies."
Hua said, "Don't you know what they're laughing at?"
"You spent money, so at least give me some face, right?"
"It's because you reacted too slowly."
Tu Er felt very wronged when she heard Hua say that. "How am I slow to react?"
Hua saw that Tu Er was covered in wounds and stopped teasing him. She said directly, "Back then, the timing of our attacks was so coincidental. Several times, we were almost killed."
"As the mastermind predicted, we were either killed or seriously injured, and the entire Six Realms were plunged into catastrophe."
"But looking back now, it all seems too coincidental."
Hua scoffed, "I don't believe there are so many perfect coincidences in the world."
"It's just man-made."
"So, Tu Er, you should understand now, right?"
Tu Er understood, hence his ashen face.
He had his doubts about what happened back then, but everything happened too fast, from Qilian's death to Wanke's death, followed by Hua's sacrifice.
He wasn't given a moment to breathe; by the time he tried to investigate again, everything had already been thoroughly cleaned up.
Hearing Hua say this, he clenched his fists, his eyes darkening as he looked at Hua. "If someone really was behind what happened back then, then I will never let them get away with it!"
Even if Tu Er wanted to let it go, Hua wouldn't agree.
It's time to settle all the scores from back then.
However, Tu Er looked at Chu Yu and said, "Chu Yu, I feel that Qingwu's cultivation has improved in a strange way, but I can't quite put my finger on it. What do you think?"
Monchi, not understanding the situation, teased, "Tu'er, you're not trying to save face because you can't beat them, are you?"
Tu Er's face flushed red. "Of course not."
Although he was somewhat unconvinced, he would never admit it, even if you beat him to death.
Chu Yu ignored the two of them and took out the jade pendant he had just taken from Qingwu.
"With something like that in her possession, of course you can't compare to her."
"Um?"
"???"
Everyone looked curiously at the jade pendant in Chu Yu's hand.
After a long while, Tu Er touched the back of his neck and asked in bewilderment, "I don't see anything different here."
"Could this jade pendant have a significant history?"
Chu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered, "It's just a notorious thing."
"This thing looks just like an ordinary jade pendant, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye."
"This thing was originally called the Ghost Festival."
"Ghost Festival?!"
The group was familiar with the name, but had never seen it before.
Ghost sacrifices were famous in ancient times, but infamous.
Ghost sacrifices can accelerate a cultivator's progress, but their actual use is extremely cruel.
The higher the cultivation level of the sacrificial offering (a living person), the faster the cultivation level of the person manipulating the system will improve.
The later the offerings, the higher the requirements become.
"This woman is so vicious! It's too good for her to die like this!"
Hua only just learned about the Ghost Festival, and now that she thinks about it, she agrees with Tu Er—Qingwu really got off easy.
Her very soul should be extracted and lashed out day and night until it is extinguished...
