"The seal of the head of the Soul Oracle Guild?" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
It was no wonder the seal was so heavy. Without comprehending the Soul Quintessence, even a soul oracle wouldn't be able to carry it away.
"What's going on? How did the Jiang Clan manage to obtain the heritage of the soul oracles? Why would they serve the person who wields the Seal of Souls as their master? Didn't the soul oracles betray humanity and were eradicated by the Mingshi Tang? "
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He was truly unable to make sense of the situation.
As one of the Three Premier Clans, the Jiang Clan was under the strict supervision of the Mingshi Tang, so it should have been easy for them to discern whether a soul oracle was a soul oracle or not. However, the soul oracle and the soul oracle were two completely different concepts. How could the latter possibly be the successor of the latter?
"This matter is one of the core secrets of the Jiang Clan, so it won't be convenient for us to discuss it here. May I know if Zhang Shi is willing to follow us back to the main hall?"
Jiang Fangyou hesitated for a moment before asking.
Even though it was impossible for outsiders to pry into the details of the matter due to the Guardian Formation, it was still best for them to tread carefully.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
"This way, please!" Jiang Fangyou heaved a sigh of relief before leading the way. The other elders quickly followed behind him.
Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate either. Soon, they arrived at a spacious hall.
With the Jiang Clan Head Token in hand and the Guardian Formation in control, there was no need for him to worry about any mishaps.
Upon entering the hall, Zhang Xuan sat down on the main seat, and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Activating the formation to seal the surroundings, Jiang Fangyou turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "I heard that Zhang Shi once imparted his heritage to a student named Lu Chong, and the latter possesses the prowess of a Great Sage … May I know if that's true?"
"That's true!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Back then, in order to save him, Lu Chong had fought against the Mingshi Tang, and this matter had already caused a huge commotion. It wasn't surprising that Jiang Fangyou knew about it.
"If that's the case … is Zhang Shi also a soul oracle?"
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"That's right then …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had admitted to it, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Fangyou also turned to Zhang Xuan and asked in agitation, "May I know where Zhang Shi's soul heritage came from? Have you seen other soul oracles before? "
"My heritage … came from the soul of an ancient soul. I have never met any other soul oracle before!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Mo Hunsheng was only a remnant soul. To be more precise, he could no longer be considered a true soul oracle.
As for the others, he really hadn't seen them before, so he wasn't lying.
"You haven't?" Jiang Fangyou was taken aback.
"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully. "Aren't soul oracles a taboo existence? The heritage of the Master Teacher Continent should have long been severed! "
"Forbidden?" Hearing those words, Jiang Fangyou fell silent for a moment before looking at Zhang Xuan once more. "It seems like … Zhang Shi isn't aware of those matters!"
"What is it?"
"Actually … the soul oracles didn't betray humanity back then," Jiang Fangyou said.
"Didn't betray humanity?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
This matter was recorded in all of the records in the Mingshi Tang Empire, and it was something that everyone on the Master Teacher Continent knew about. Could it be a lie?
"The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is simply too powerful. Back then, even Kong Shi and his seventy-two direct disciples were no match for them. In fact, Kong Shi was even trapped by the strongest of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe in the Land of Chen Cai, unable to escape …"
Jiang Fangyou sighed deeply as he spoke.
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
He had heard of this matter from Vicious before.
Even Kong Shi had suffered a huge loss at the hands of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Back then, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had a deep understanding of us, but we knew very little about them. This was especially so for their killing intent, which was something that no one was able to withstand. There were countless experts who possessed strength on par with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but as soon as they came into contact with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's killing intent, their consciousness would be blurred, and they would be killed on the spot!"
Jiang Fangyou continued.
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
This was exactly what had happened when he first encountered the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's killing intent pierced straight into one's heart and affected one's soul. Most people would find it hard to even stand properly, let alone ordinary humans.
"In order to ensure mankind's victory, Kong Shi decided to send soul cultivators who specialized in soul cultivation to infiltrate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and uncover the secrets of their souls …"
Jiang Fangyou's face dimmed. "The soul oracles accepted the mission in the nick of time. However, in order to convince the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, they had to sever all ties with mankind and the Mingshi Tang! As a result, the soul oracles ended up siding with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe due to their malevolent nature, resulting in them being massacred by the Master Teacher Pavilion and their heritage being destroyed. "
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's body jolted in shock.
If what Jiang Fangyou said was true, then … wasn't the soul oracles paying a huge price?
They were supposed to be the heroes of mankind, but they had been insulted for tens of thousands of years …
"Back then, under the oppression of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, mankind was forced to live a life worse than that of an ox. Their life and death were beyond their control. As long as they could drive the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe out of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, they were the hope of mankind.
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was thinking, Jiang Fangyou continued. "In order to convince the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, the Mingshi Tang mobilized a large number of master teachers to hunt down the soul oracles. In just a single night, the soul oracles were wiped out. After being captured, the guild leader of that era committed suicide in the Mingshi Tang. "
"Committed suicide? Then … "Zhang Xuan couldn't believe what he was hearing.
How could a dead soul infiltrate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
"It might seem like the guild leader of that era committed suicide, but in truth, his soul oracles didn't die. Instead, he left behind his heritage, which is our current Jiang Clan, before heading to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe."
Sighing deeply, Jiang Fangyou continued, "The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's expert saw the tragic state of the soul oracles with his own eyes, so he firmly believed in the guild leader's words. After spending some time together, the guild leader gradually came to understand the secrets behind the killing intent. Thus, he found a way to spread the news to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. He even devised a plan to assassinate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's expert!
"Not only so, he even came up with quite a few soul cultivation techniques that targeted the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's unique traits. However, all of them were wrong. Cultivating the soul oracles normally wouldn't cause any problems, and they would still strengthen their soul energy. However, as time passed, the killing intent would gradually weaken, resulting in all kinds of problems. In the end, the fighting prowess of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would become weaker and weaker! "
"Wrong soul oracles?" Zhang Xuan's body jolted in astonishment.
Back then, when he first entered the Subterranean Gallery, he had killed the Greenleaf King and the others and obtained quite a few soul cultivation techniques. However, he had realized that there were many flaws in the soul cultivation techniques. Back then, he had been perplexed as to why the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's soul oracles would have so many flaws in their soul cultivation techniques. But at this very moment, he realized that the soul oracles were intentionally left behind by the guild leader!
His goal was to weaken the unique traits of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!
Bearing the humiliation of infiltrating the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and passing down the wrong soul oracles …
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly in shock. At this moment, he suddenly recalled something, and his eyes narrowed. "Do you know who the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's expert whom they were trying to assassinate was?"
