Chapter 387: Two Reasons.
"I don't know the details, Sir. We have lost all the subordinates we had in the Ancestral Serpent Sect, including the Serpent. All I can say is that it was at the hands of that woman. I will send some to investigate and give you more information next time." He said, and the man in front of him clenched the tea jug, smashing it to pieces in anger.
Still, surprisingly, he calmed down quickly and put a hand to his eyes.
"That woman is as annoying as ever. Find out who the woman next to her is, and tell me if she is the woman we saw 1,500 years ago. Also, send people to investigate what happened in that Snake Sect, although they are weak, they were good henchmen for our pass to the northwest. On the other hand, hasten all the things we have been planning.
After the battle of the great sects will be done as planned." He said and dismissed the man as if dismissing a dog.
This man nodded respectfully and then left.
Silence reigned in that room until the seated man spoke again.
"Good disciple, come here and let me see you. Also, tell me the news from the south." Said the man and his voice echoed throughout the castle that was among the clouds at the top of the Central Region. His voice had a prompt reply from a handsome young man...
...
In the Northern Region, the situation was always the same.
The beautiful white color of snow adorned this place all year round, and this year was no exception.
In the deepest part of the Northern Region, where perhaps the most powerful person in the region was located, two women with auras of magnificence, elegance, and great beauty were present. The veil on their faces represented them.
One was seated, and the other was standing to one side of her, watching a small transmission with a transmission technique.
The seated woman was surprised to see this, and the small movement she made was enough to overshadow the beauty of the place.
It was an exquisite and surprising movement, full of elegance and loveliness.
"I didn't expect her to choose to appear that way. It's been over 500 years since I've seen her, but as always, this woman is as stunning as I remember her..." She said, her voice sounding full of sweetness.
It was a soft and almost palpable voice that could make the hearts of millions of men fall in love just by listening to it.
Just then, the image changed and showed the disciple of that person, Tang Yin.
When the woman beside her saw him, she was surprised.
A slight movement passed as she thought of the days she had spent with this guy, 'So his status was as high as mine?' She thought in shock. It didn't seem that way to her.
This was a move that, to her master, the beautiful woman sitting next to her, was not lost on her.
So, she looked at her doubtfully, "Do you know him?" she asked.
Qingyue, the beautiful woman beside her, and her disciple nodded to her.
"Master, he is that person I told you about, can we go and congratulate them? Miss Shi Yue... You usually speak highly and respect her so I would like to meet her at least once." Qingyue replied, and her master stared at her.
For a moment she smiled, for she noticed that her beloved disciple whom she sees as her most adored daughter, was telling her a little lie.
Still, she said nothing.
"Little girl, you know what trouble that would bring for her and him. It's not good for you to go see him right now, the Central Region will not stand idly by now that she did something and maybe they are going to want to come in through our northern region, so we must be vigilant." Replied her master, and Qingyue then nodded.
It makes sense...
"Why does the central region hate the northwest region? I could never understand it, they originally had a good relationship many years ago, didn't they?" Qingyue asked softly with some bewilderment.
Her master stared at the transmission as she recalled the past.
A distant past...
"It is a hatred born of the fear they have for the Shi family. Many believe that they have a desire to obtain the northwest region because it is a rather great region that belongs to one person, but in reality, it is not so. All they want is to exterminate the last vestiges of the Shi Family because they are afraid of it." She spoke.
Qingyue frowned upon hearing this.
"The central region is afraid of the Shi Family? How is that possible?" She asked in shock.
The Central Region, which right now is the most powerful region of all and at that time was as powerful as the Northwest Region, how could it possibly be afraid of a Family?
That didn't seem to make sense, and Qingyue's master could understand her thoughts, so she smiled.
"There are two reasons for them to be afraid of the Shi. To begin with, the Shi Family is more complicated than you might think and they are tied to a very old prophecy, which is already about 1 million years old. This prophecy mentioned two forces and a divine being, I will tell you about it later."
"The truth is that, about 5 thousand years ago, the God of Lightning had a fortuitous encounter, which led him to meet a Divine Being. He was a man; some say he was extremely beautiful and others say he was an extremely powerful beast. No one knows the reality of his physique, besides the Shi Family and my missing master."
"Even so, the entire continent learned about that Divine Being who had fallen in this place, and then the prophecy took hold again. The appearance of a Divine Being triggered fear in the Central Region as well, for if the prophecy came true, they would disappear."
"That was the first reason." She said smiling and remembering the second motive.
"Look at the screen." She said as she showed Shi Yue's face.
"She is the second motive." She said, causing Qingyue to feel even more shocked.
