682: Chapter 105: The Hidden Truth of History 682: Chapter 105: The Hidden Truth of History “Your na.”
“Xitiel Ramo.”
“Your true identity.”
“I am a legion commander under the Siti Legion, ordered by my superior to infiltrate the Far East, occupy the vacant deity position, and receive the incense offerings from followers.”
After most of the ether substance in his body was sucked away, leaving him nearly a dried-out husk, the hanging man finally began to confess truthfully.
“What local deity position?”
“The Southern Harmonizing Pair.”
As expected.
Li Mumu quietly explained to Shen Qingxi and Xia Yubing: “Siti is one of the seventy-two demon gods under King Solomon, not very prominent, specializing in love between n and won.
As he likes to transform into a beautiful woman to seduce n into downfall, so speculate that this demon god may originate from the Olympian Gods, and might even be the Ancient Greek god of love, Cupid.”
Although there isn’t any concrete evidence, this familiar modus operandi is hard not to associate in that direction.
If it’s Siti’s fallen angels who ca to the East to impersonate the Harmonizing Pair to collect incense offerings, it would indeed seem like a professional match.
The title of Harmonizing Pair is not commonly seen in the North, mainly because it lacks the resounding exploits like the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
It is said to be the manifestations of Manjusri Bodhisattva and Universal Virtue Bodhisattva, specifically overseeing family and marriage, symbolizing a harmonious union for a century.
Li Mumu has only heard of this title and is not particularly familiar with it.
“Who are you collaborating with?”
“Local people.”
“Who are the local people?”
“A secretive society locally, devout in Buddhism, called the Ullambana Festival.”
“In Tiann locally?”
“Not in Tiann, but in the Southern.”
“Then why did you co to Tiann?”
“Soone invited us to help snatch the Imperial Jade Seal.”
“Who is this soone?”
“We don’t know him; he has a token in his hand.”
“What token?”
“The token of the Ullambana Festival.”
“How do you contact them?”
“We wait for them to light the incense, and then they contact us.”
…
“They paid a vast sum to hire the Harmonizing Pair to move North, aiming to seize the Imperial Jade Seal.”
Leng Nian’s head was filled with silver needles, rendering his whole body immobile, the unbearable itching rendering him helpless.
Every captured wrongdoer harbors a chance mind, thinking as long as they clench their teeth and stay silent, others won’t be able to do much.
However, under the treatnt of Old Master He, he didn’t hold out for long.
While there are indeed warriors in this world as determined as steel, soone like him, who only knows how to dodge and hide, is clearly not among them.
The more one fears pain, the less they can bear even a hint of it.
This statent sounds like nonsense, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
“The Iron Blood Society is involved in this as well, and people from the Yang Family are also participating, you shouldn’t have waded into these murky waters…”
“Whether we wade into these murky waters is our affair.
But today you’ve fallen into our hands, even if you truly say nothing, can you still trust them when you go back?”
Old Master He’s sincere words hit right at his conscience, causing him to sweat profusely.
“You are a proficient Mr.
Yin Yang, those grand truths don’t need my explanation, you should understand them.
There’s a saying that winning or losing is a common affair in the Military Sect, you’ve tried your best, which is enough to justify the benefits you received.
Now why risk your life foolishly to bear the consequences for others?”
Leng Nian gritted his teeth and said: “Old senior, I’m not worried about them; I’m worried about you!
You should at least leave a way out, so I dare to speak up.
Otherwise, once I confess, can you still let live?”
“Alright, I promise you.”
Old Master He nodded and smiled: “As long as you tell everything you know, we from the Swallow Sect and the Cuojin Sect will settle our grievances, how about that?”
“Swallow Sect?”
Leng Nian suddenly opened his eyes wide, gazing at Old Master He and after staring blankly for a long mont, he forced a smile: “It’s you, when did Cuojin Sect ever have a feud with the likes of Swallow Sect?
One climbs rooftops, the other divines feng shui, they are utterly unrelated, where’s the grievance?”
“Since you know who I am, don’t you know that Laozi has been in prison for decades because of the Imperial Jade Seal?”
“The Imperial Jade Seal hasn’t been lost for even a decade!”
“That’s not important, let’s talk about the matter at hand.”
Old Master He ceased smiling and asked sternly: “I can understand why people from the Yang Family want the Jade Seal; they are always discontent and looking to stir up trouble.
Why would the Iron Blood Society be involved with this Jade Seal?”
Leng Nian bitterly smiled: “I don’t know much; those guys never trust outsiders.
But during this cooperation, they let so information slip.
According to their riders, it is to correct historical errors.”
“Trying to clear soone’s criminal record?
They wouldn’t need the Imperial Jade Seal for that…”
“Not a person, but history itself.”
Leng Nian bit his teeth and said: “You’ve lived to such an age, eating more salt than the roads I’ve walked, haven’t you heard the rumor in the Jianghu World?”
“Which rumor?”
“That the world today was not conquered by the President.
Rather, she used secret techniques to swap the heavens and steal the Dragon Vein’s luck from the Forr Dynasty, simultaneously altering history to utterly erase and cover the traces of the true savior…”
“I’ve never heard of such a tale; which jealous upstart concocted such a baseless story?”
Old Master He shook his head: “With such a vivid imagination, why doesn’t he write scripts for storytelling?”
“This matter is not without foundation, just that it involves top-level secrets that we commoners can never know.”
Seeing Old Master He’s disbelief, Leng Nian hastily explained: “Everyone says the President has a million strong under her command, her orders respected everywhere, no one dares disobey.
Why do you think there still exists a semi-public secretive organization like the Iron Blood Society within the army?
And why is the President’s attitude towards them so ambiguous, turning a blind eye, allowing them to grow and strengthen?
It’s because these people are the inford ones; they hold the historical truth!”
“So what if there is so sort of historical truth?
It’s just a matter of the victor being the king and the loser the bandit, they want the Imperial Jade Seal, but what can they do with it?
Want to crown soone?”
Leng Nian bitterly asked in return: “You’ve hidden the Imperial Jade Seal for so many years, do you not know the secrets inside it better than I do, soone who rely runs errands and executes orders for others?”
“I don’t know.”
Old Master He retorted: “You are insincere, there’s not a truth in your mouth.
It seems you still harbor so hope; then don’t bla for disregarding the camaraderie of the Jianghu World…”
“Hold on!”
On hearing this, Leng Nian hurriedly called out: “I heard them ntion it once, sothing about using the Imperial Jade Seal as an anchored object, but I don’t know what that ans!
We from Cuojin Sect study Fengshui Physiognomy, I don’t understand their theories!”
