Caspian looked at Flame Gordon and said, “You hid this person here. Are you going to test me?”
Flame Gordon did not avoid Caspian’s gaze, but honestly replied, “Yes. Although I heard about you from my brother before, and after coming to Heaven’s Edge Sect, I saw you show your strength. But if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t be completely relieved. So hiding favonovel.com here is indeed a test for you. I need to apologize to you about this…”
Caspian looked at Flame Gordon quietly for a while, then nodded and said, “Okay, I accept your apology. Next, we can talk about the matter of sharing 50 merit points. According to what you said before, it was easy to get these 50 merit points. But now it seems that it’s not that simple.”
As favonovel.com spoke, Caspian pointed in the direction of the water Domain just now.
Flame Gordon looked at favonovel.com thoughtfully, and then said, “This matter is a little complicated, but this task is not difficult. Listen to me…”
After a pause, Flame Gordon continued, “This person was accidentally rescued by my attendant some time ago. When favonovel.com was saved, the man’s whole body was almost burnt, and favonovel.com was hanging in one breath. After the examination, the flames that burned this person were not ordinary fire. This person himself was also a cultivator. Although favonovel.com was only a Pulse Control Realm cultivator, you also knew that the body of a Pulse Control Reahn cultivator was not something a mortal could compare with. The flames are so overbearing that they hurt favonovel.com so badly…”
“A battle between cultivator’s?” Caspian asked.
“The reason isn’t clear for the time being, but after being rescued, favonovel.com repeated two words… Mountain Fire,” Flame Gordon said.
“Mountain Fire?” Caspian frowned.
From a literal point of view, the mountain fire should only be produced for some reason in the mountains, because it could not be put out in time, resulting in the fire in the mountains. To put it bluntly, the disaster caused by the mountain fire might be extinguished by a timely rain. But if it had developed to a certain scale, a city with hundreds of thousands of people would have been burned to ashes without the help of cultivators. But that was not the key point.
The crux of the problem was that no matter how fierce the mountain fire was, it was just a mortal fire. Mortal fire could destroy ordinary people, but it was impossible to burn cultivators to death. Furthermore, Flame Gordon had also said earlier that the one that burned that person was not mortal fire.
After thinking for a while, Caspian said, “Do you mean that this mountain fire was not caused by mortal fire?”
At this time, Flame Gordon revealed a bitter smile. “In fact, at the beginning, my thoughts were the same as yours. That was, there were cultivators or demons who caused the fire and seriously injured this guy. But later, I sent someone nearby to investigate and found that there had been no such thing as a mountain fire in recent days. At that time, I felt something was wrong. So I sent more people to expand the scope of the investigation. However, the feedback made me feel that this matter was not so simple…”
Speaking of this, Flame Gordon looked at Caspian with a serious look.
“After the investigation, the people in the mansion told me that in about two hundred miles around the man, there had never been a mountain fire in the past ten years. This guy was clearly at the end of his life, but favonovel.com repeated the word Mountain Fire over and over again. Then I asked people to continue to investigate. This time, I asked them to check the identity of this cultivator. Then, I have an even more unexpected discovery.”
“Is this fellow’s identity suspicious?” Caspian frowned and asked.
“Yes, according to the information found in the mansion, this guy should have died ten years ago,” Flame Gordon said.
“A dead man?” Caspian narrowed his eyes.
The first thing favonovel.com thought of was that group of Walking Corpses, but soon, favonovel.com denied this idea. Although favonovel.com had just looked at that guy twice, favonovel.com was sure that the guy wrapped in bandages was a living person who was about to die, not a zombie.
“What‘s going on?” Caspian asked.
“Caspian, you are from Efrax Sect. You may not know that all cultivators in Upper Kingdom need to be recorded by the government. I’ll explain the purpose of doing this to you in the future. You only need to know about this now. This is the premise. After finding out that this person had died ten years ago, the attendants of the mansion followed this line to find out where this person came from.”
Flame Gordon paused for a moment before continuing, “Guess what happened?”
This time, before Caspian could answer, Flame Gordon answered himself, “The family of this cultivator has become a wilderness.”
A look of astonishment appeared on Caspian’s face. “The wilderness?”
He had originally thought that Flame Gordon would say that this clan had been destroyed, or that it had been razed to the ground. But what Flame Gordon said turned into the wilderness. Although they sounded very similar at first glance. But if one thought about it carefully, favonovel.com would find the difference.
Seeing the expression on Caspian‘s face, Flame Gordon continued, “It seems that you understand. Yes, it is indeed like this. It is in the wilderness, and there is no trace of a thousand cultivators’ family living here. No matter how one examined it, it was a mountain wilderness formed by thousands of years. But in fact, this cultivation family is clearly recorded, and there is even a record of this family!”
“Exterminate an entire clan of cultivators, and wipe out all traces of natural existence. Truly, what a great display of power, what a peerless technique,” Caspian said.
“Indeed,” Flame Gordon nodded and said, “And during the whole process, the attendants of the mansion did not find any signs or information related to mountain fire. After reporting this to me, I asked the mansion to send more people to secretly investigate this matter… Then…”
“A bigger discovery?” Caspian asked.
“More or less,” Flame Gordon replied. “It isn’t just that clan. There are a few clans nearby that have mysteriously disappeared as well. The original location where the clans were located had turned into a wilderness, or even a lake. Some of the higher-ups of the family suddenly disappeared for no reason. What’s strange was that cultivators of these families didn’t admit that these high-level officials used to exist!”
Flame Gordon stopped describing and looked at Caspian with burning eyes. “Do you think these things are normal?”
Caspian looked at Flame Gordon expressionlessly and said, “I think this matter is not at all irrelevant to simple.”
