Yuheng returned to the Heavenly Mystery Sect as quickly as possible, expending a lot of spirit stones. When he arrived, the sect leader was already waiting for him.
The group carried the dragon back to the jade bed in the forbidden area, waiting for the two to wake up.
"The black mist... seems to be targeting Wen Ru all along." The Grand Elder sat there uneasily, his hands trembling violently.
Yuheng suppressed his anger and sorrow, slamming his fist on the table: "Then why is it Wanwan who is being targeted this time? Is it just because she is the Ziwei Star? She was the one who was targeted before, but Wanwan took all the blame for Wenru."
And how long has it been since she last fell unconscious? Her body can't withstand the black mist's attacks; each time… each time she looks like she's about to die. What exactly does the black mist want?
"Yuheng, don't get agitated," the Second Elder quickly reassured him.
This is not a time to vent anger, but to find out the cause. We can't let the little dragon bear all the fire every time.
"How could I not be excited? That was the last cub of my dragon clan, my daughter. It was bad enough that she was injured for Wenru, but she was injured like this."
You all watched her grow up, are you just going to stand by and watch her be ravaged by the black mist?
He actually harbored some resentment towards Wei Wenru.
Many times, Wanwan had faced the black mist herself to protect her from its attacks, ultimately ending up covered in injuries. As a father, how could he not have any complaints?
But Wei Wenru was someone he had watched grow up; both were his flesh and blood, and he felt sorry for her.
"Yuheng, don't be too anxious. We don't know the specifics yet, and we don't know what to do about the black mist either," the Third Elder said, frowning.
Do they really want to see the little girl injured like this?
"I know you're worried, but we have no clue how to find out the truth. If anyone's to blame, it's the black mist; it's been the culprit all along!"
"Furthermore, if we don't want Wanwan to continue suffering, we must find out the truth or a solution." The elder sighed. He was just as anxious as anyone else, but for now, they could only try to handle the matter calmly.
Only when Wenru wakes up can we ask her what exactly happened.
They dared not easily provoke the black mist, nor did they have the ability to investigate the truth, or even resist it. No one in the cultivation world could resist it; death was the only outcome. The Mianwanzhou people were the first in tens of thousands of years to successfully survive the black mist and even save many others.
However, they can investigate.
The sect leader remained silent, pondering a question: Why did the Heavenly Dao, which had appeared before to save the little dragon cub's life, not appear this time? And what was the reason for its previous appearance?
"Sect Master, say something!" Yuheng said anxiously when he saw the Sect Master's thoughtful expression.
The sect leader glanced at him and used his aura to force him to sit down: "Come on, Yuheng, let's sit down and take a deep breath~ Yes, that's it. Okay, are you calmed down?"
Yuheng was forced to take a deep breath to calm down, and it worked well: "I'm calm now, please speak."
Even before the sect leader, Yuheng remained humble, after all, the sect leader was practically Nian Wanzhou's grandfather. Because it was the sect leader who raised Yuheng.
The sect leader pointed upwards, speaking in riddles, "I haven't mentioned it to you before, but he came down before, the last time he rescued the little dragon cub. But not this time. We have no idea what his purpose is or why he would do this."
The boss is right. Now we need to figure out why the black mist repeatedly attacked Wen Ru, and why it suddenly switched to attacking the little dragon cub. Let's analyze this in depth.
The Grand Elder thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master, are you saying that this time the black mist's target is no longer Wen Ru, but Wanwan? Or perhaps, it has always been targeting the two of them?"
Every time the black mist appeared, it was when Wei Wenru was promoted, and this time was no exception.
Occasional harassment is just sending subordinates to do errands.
But this time it's a little different. Back then, Zhang Jinchi had ulterior motives towards the dragon cub, which is why he made his move.
It's targeting two girls, one a future prodigy and the other a once-in-a-millennium white dragon, Ziwei Star... What exactly is it plotting?
The sect leader nodded: "That must be it. The black mist must have its reasons for doing this. We can't defeat it, so we can only wait and see."
"So, the black mist actually wanted to kill more than just the little dragon cub, or perhaps Wen Ru was also involved?" Yu Heng asked in surprise. "From beginning to end, Wen Ru was actually taking the blame for Wanwan in a roundabout way?"
Once Yuheng calmed down, his mind raced, and he quickly figured out the connection between Wei Wenru and Nian Wanzhou.
"That's possible, but this time it's uncertain. We probably won't be able to figure out what's being hidden." The sect leader sighed. He knew that these matters involving the Heavenly Dao would not be easily discovered by them.
"Therefore, I don't think it's Wen Ru's or Xiao Longzai's fault. If it were one of their faults, the black mist would never have turned around and attacked Xiao Longzai, but should have intensified its efforts to eliminate Wen Ru."
No one outside the secret realm can rival it. It could have taken this opportunity to attack directly instead of wasting time setting up a barrier and only managing to strike the little dragon cub.
In other words, it's highly likely that the two of them shielded us, and even the entire cultivation world, from many disasters. "The sect leader said in a deep voice, looking up at everyone with a solemn expression.
Everyone fell silent.
The sect leader already possessed the ability to glimpse the secrets of heaven. The origin of their Heavenly Mystery Sect was that someone was favored by the Heavenly Dao and was able to glimpse a trace of the secrets of heaven in advance.
But later it declined, and no one had that skill anymore.
Aside from the previous sect leader, the master of their six elders, and the current sect leader.
"Sect Master, do you suspect that Wen Ru and Wanwan have some potential causal relationship?" the First Elder suddenly guessed.
The sect leader shook his head, placing his hand to his lips in a gesture: "Shh, this is best left unsaid. I just feel that the existence of the little dragon cub has a tremendous impact on the cultivation world, even..."
The sect leader didn't elaborate on the deeper meaning, but everyone understood why.
"Have you noticed that the little dragon cub's ability to purify the black mist makes the surrounding spiritual energy become more abundant and pure after each purification? Especially for the Guixu Sect..." The sect leader dropped another major discovery.
Upon careful consideration, it seems that this is indeed the case.
After sorting out his thoughts, the Second Elder shook his head: "There are too many taboos that we cannot know or touch. There are countless mysteries surrounding the little dragon cub alone, and there is nothing we can find out."
The Fifth Elder chimed in, "That's right. After learning that the little dragon cub was from the Ziwei Star, even more things happened one after another. Every time... she got injured. If she really hadn't gone to that competition, perhaps our cultivation world would have really come to an end."
