It was not a dark faction. Cang Ling Xue's spirits rose. Even though she had reached this step, she still did not want to fall to working with the dark faction. The dark faction was a path of no return, especially for a family.
Cang Ling Xue's expression relaxed slightly but she was still shocked inside. Uncle Yan's strength was unfathomable in her eyes. No matter how difficult the mission, Uncle Yan could complete it perfectly. Uncle Yan was the last support her father had left for her. Without Uncle Yan, she would not have been able to take control of the Cang Family in such a short amount of time. While Uncle Yan had never said how strong he was, she could hear from his words that Uncle Yan had been a very powerful expert in the past.
If it was said that the essence of ling power was seal scripts, then the essence of shen power was shen glyphs.
Suddenly, the tip of his finger sank, and a strange feeling came from it.
Cang Ling Xue stilled. "What do you mean?"
Zuo Mo knew more about shen glyphs than other people. In the ancient tribes, each tribe would have their own shen glyphs. For example, the Sun Tribe's Sun Glyph, the Greenvine Tribe's Greenvine Glyph. These shen glyphs weren't just closely related to their shen power, they were also related to something, the ancient shen device!
Even though he could not comprehend it yet, the value of a new shen glyph caused Zuo Mo to be excited.
That was not something that she, the Cang Family, and the merchant association could contend against.
So when Zuo Mo realized what this incomprehensible glyph was, his mind suddenly became excited.
"Abandon the merchant association?" Cang Ling Xue stilled. Her delicate brow furrowed and she sat up straight. "Who told you this?"
"What is the other's background?" Cang Ling Xue asked curiously. Her mind moved quickly. She did not fear a new faction joining. In fact, any change was good news for her, who was on the verge of despair.
"Daren." A raspy male voice sounded in the darkness.
Because the situation would not be worse than it was now.
On the black market, a damaged shen glyph was worth cities.
Of the two shen glyphs, his skill in the Sun Glyph was greater, and he had studied less of the Greenvine glyph. But even though he had mastered the Sun Glyph, there were still many places that he did not understand. The difference between shen glyphs and seal scripts was that every part of the shen glyph had to be comprehended. If he did not comprehend it, he could not use it or draw it.
Many places that he couldn't see clearly last time were rediscovered by him. This new discovery made him ecstatic.
Uncle Yan saw Cang Ling Xue's renewed fighting spirit and nodded heavily. "I will try."
The continuous lights were like the stars in the sky. She thought about how sparse the lights here were a few years ago. Compared to the past, the Cang Family was much more prosperous.
Zuo Mo's finger was like a brush, continuously drawing in the air in front of him. He would occasionally stop and think for a while.
If he could find out the origins of these people, then perhaps their backer would reveal a trace of a flaw.
This shocked her. If this news hadn't been brought back by her most trusted Uncle Yan, she definitely wouldn't have believed it. Uncle Yan had watched her grow up, and they were like father and daughter. He would never betray her.
Zuo Mo had already concluded that this glyph was a shen glyph!
"How can we care so much at a time like this?" The man's tone became anxious. "If you don't escape now, I'm afraid …"
"Ah!" Cang Ling Xue was astounded. The sternness and authority on her face instantly disappeared. She asked in concern, "Are you injured?"
At this time, she had lost her strength. She was like a helpless kitten curled up in the corner.
Uncle Yan explained, "The underworld factions are just claws and teeth. Some factions just hope to do things more easily, like gathering intelligence. There are also some things that are hard to deal with. If they use underworld methods, it will naturally be much more convenient. The underworld factions of our yao basically all have backers. Sometimes, they are responsible for meeting at the beginning. If I am not wrong, if there is progress, then the faction behind them will show their skill. "
"No." To her surprise, Uncle Yan was the one who answered. His tone was full of certainty. "The Dark World isn't that big, and it's not as mysterious as the rumors say. A few of the bigger dark forces have countless connections with the Council of Elders."
The shen glyph was not as mysterious as people imagined, but it was still the deepest and most attractive mystery in the world.
Who was the other?
If someone disturbed this situation, they might be able to survive.
"Escape? Where? "Cang Ling Xue was puzzled." What about the Cang Family? What about the merchant guild? "
"Are there such powerful underworld factions?" she murmured to herself.
Uncle Yan hesitated and said, "They might not be an underworld faction."
A completely new shen glyph immediately excited Zuo Mo.
As everyone pursued shen power in these years, they continued to excavate ancient ruins. All kinds of incomplete shen glyphs appeared.
Cang Ling Xue was filled with fighting spirit again.
She did not raise her head. She was too familiar with this voice, so familiar that she did not need to pretend in front of him. She made a light sound of acknowledgement.
Zuo Mo knew two shen glyphs. One was the Sun glyph, the other was the Greenvine glyph.
"Last night, someone visited Second Elder. Second Elder sent the other to the door," the male said in a deep voice. His calm voice contained indescribable anger. "Third Elder's son was sent to the First Yao Art House."
Cang Ling Xue's mind jumped. She was extremely intelligent. Uncle Yan's words revealed a lot of information. The other was very strong. With so many experts, it definitely was not a small faction. The other had her abandon the merchant guild. This clearly meant that they valued her management abilities. Abandoning the merchant guild and not the Cang Family meant that the other had the confidence to protect the Cang Family.
Even Tian Huan, who was the most knowledgeable in shen glyphs, had not mastered more than five complete shen glyphs up until now.
This time, he saw more clearly.
"Can Uncle Yan find out the origins of this underworld faction?" she asked with anticipation.
"That is just a misunderstanding. They actually have many taboos," Uncle Yan said. "There are many things that they cannot cross the line. The higher-ups close one eye and do not pursue the matter. Only then can they survive. If the higher-ups give an order, they must complete it. The competition between the underworld factions is very cruel. "
"No wonder these underworld factions can do whatever they want." Cang Ling Xue finally understood and said emotionally.
"Last night, I was following Second Elder. On the way back, I was captured," the male said calmly.
"What are you afraid of?" Cang Ling Xue smiled bleakly. "Don't worry, the living me is more valuable than the dead me. No matter if it is taking over the merchant guild and the Cang Family, or becoming their tool to make money, they need a living me. "
The male was silent.
The male was silent for a moment. He suddenly spoke, "Daren, let's flee!"
She found it hard to believe that this mysterious faction was so confident.
Only those that comprehended shen glyphs could make rubbings. Also, each time they made a copy, it would be a great burden on the person who made the copy. Due to this, there were very few shen glyph rubbings on the market.
She did not have much pride, only tiredness.
The present shen device raiment almost completely followed Zuo Mo's method.
"Daren, what if we throw away the merchant guild?" the male suddenly asked.
Cang Ling Xue jerked the corner of her mouth and said indifferently, "Isn't that what he wants? That good-for-nothing son of his has always been a thorn in his side. "
Zuo Mo, who had almost gone crazy from eating meat, had prepared to refine the shen power he had just absorbed. Yet when he was refining in the cabin, the unique glyph that had appeared the first time Zuo Mo had channeled shen power into the green hair appeared in front of his eyes.
Cang Ling Xue said to herself, "The elders are too cowardly. If they can persist, the merchant guild might have a bargaining chip with those people … …"
The male's heart warmed. He shook his head and said, "No. The other only asked me to bring this message. "
Shen glyphs were not so distant to the present people. Tian Huan had been the first to start studying shen glyphs, and they were the sect with the deepest understanding of shen glyphs. Tian Huan's shen power had been derived from shen glyphs as the foundation. As shen power continued to develop, more and more people cultivated shen power, and people's understanding of shen glyphs increased.
Ancient shen devices were not the same as the shen device raiments of the present day. The forging of ancient shen devices required the great experts of each tribe to imprint shen glyphs into the weapon. The present shen device raiment was a set that Zuo Mo had created after studying more forging methods and without comprehending the complete shen glyphs.
He had been in this demonic state for a few days. He continuously drew. The other people knew that he was thinking about something at this time and did not disturb him.
Zuo Mo quickly immersed himself in the comprehension of this new shen glyph. He tried to draw according to the image in his mind.
She knew that the reason why those families that were pressuring her made her feel despair was because their backing was an elder with real power in the Elder Council!
"I cannot see through them." Uncle Yan's tone was deep and filled with rare wariness. "The other knows the tactics of the underworld very well. I have encountered at least three that are as strong as me. Those that can reach this level in the underworld will not be nameless. However, I cannot see through the origins of these people. "
※ ※ ※
"Betrayed by family, haha." Cang Ling Xue smiled. Only at this time did her indifferent laughter show age that did not match her age.
In the night, Cang Ling Xue was silent. She was motionless like a wooden puppet. There was faint sorrow on her beautiful face. She threw herself into the darkness and lost her usual authority and restraint. She was like a normal seventeen year old girl that sat there and looked at the distant hills.
"Then where does their confidence come from?" Cang Ling Xue was puzzled.
"Chief Elder probably cannot last for long," the male said in a low voice. "I heard Chief Elder's steward say that they received a threat of unknown origins yesterday. The target of the threat is Chief Elder's granddaughter. It's very likely that the Great Elder will remain silent on this matter. "
