Li Xianyu's phone rang. The caller was Great-grandmother.
Great-grandmother said that she had just come out of Zhanhime's room. She was supposed to look for him, but he wasn't there.
Li Xianyu said that the people from the Wu family had arrived. I'm in the interrogation room on the first floor of the basement, room 108. Ask Dharmaraja to help you swipe the elevator access code.
Li Xianyu waited outside the door for a moment and saw Great-grandmother.
She was wearing red and white jogging shoes and a pair of light blue cropped pants, revealing a portion of her fair and tender calves. She was wearing a small white vest, a V-neck knitted sweater, and a small black cotton-padded jacket on the outside.
On her head was a finely made woolen hat with two small tiger ears on it.
There was a maturity in the fashion, and a youthful liveliness in the maturity.
For a moment, Li Xianyu felt like he had been struck by lightning. He looked deeply at Great-grandmother, who looked more like a girl.
Great-grandmother's eyes drifted a little. "Good, do I look good?"
"Really good," Li Xianyu said softly.
After lunch, Great-grandmother went shopping at Goddess Bai's invitation. She said that she wanted to buy new clothes for the New Year.
Needless to say, this outfit was definitely chosen by Goddess Bai for her.
Great-grandmother originally had the appearance of a JK. With this kind of outfit that showed the youthful vitality of a young girl, the youthful feeling of a female high school student came rushing over.
Li Xianyu felt that if he had met such a girl in high school, there would have been nothing for him to do.
His soul would have been hooked by her.
Great-grandmother's mouth curled up. She was a little happy.
At first, she resisted. She thought to herself, I'm already 140 years old. How can I dress up like a child?
Goddess Bai said, "You don't look like you're 140 years old. You're in the prime of your youth. If Li Xianyu saw your outfit, he would definitely be stunned."
After seeing her great-grandson's dazed reaction, Great-grandmother was satisfied.
"Does this count as me dressing up to please my great-grandson?"
She thought sadly.
"I'm interrogating someone from the Wu Family related to the Battle Spirit Diagram." Li Xianyu said, "Great-grandmother, come in as well."
He tentatively reached for his great-grandmother's hand and held her soft, cool hand in his palm.
Great-grandmother looked into the room through the iron door and pulled her hand back.
Li Xianyu didn't force her. He knew that she wouldn't show too much intimacy in front of outsiders. She had to act like a Great-grandmother.
He pushed the door open and his expression turned serious. He looked at the Wu family members and said, "Answer my question."
Unparalleled Fighting Soul had also arrived. Wu Ding and the clan elders were a little afraid of Great-grandmother, and unconsciously straightened their backs.
"This question has been answered a long time ago. It is passed down from generation to generation," Wu Ding said.
"Ancestral inheritance?" Li Xianyu sneered, "If I wasn't the successor of the Battle Soul, I would have been fooled by you. You know the history of the Wu family better than I do. He rose from the wilderness and rose in the chaotic world. Their ancestors must have been fierce people who dared to fight and fight. "
"Then please answer me," Li Xianyu said gravely, "how did a bloodline family from the wilderness obtain the Unparalleled Fighting Soul Diagram? Unparalleled Fighting Soul's plan to save the country failed, and the Eight Nation Alliance attacked Forbidden City. In order to prevent the diagram from being obtained by the foreigners, the ancestors who participated in the plan destroyed the diagram. "
"And the Wu Family at the time had only been established for twenty to thirty years. They didn't even have a grandmaster, much less the Battle Soul Diagram."
Wu Ding couldn't answer this. He carefully looked at Unparalleled Fighting Soul and said with a bitter expression, "After more than a hundred years, it has been passed down from mouth to mouth. As for what happened, us descendants can't say for sure."
An elder added, "Also, isn't it too much to accuse them of being anti-human based on this?"
"Stepmother?" Li Xianyu communicated with Hua Yang in his mind.
"It's not a lie," Hua Yang said.
Of the Wu Family members present, the one with the highest cultivation was the current family head, Wu Ding, an ordinary S rank. In the eyes of ordinary bloodlines, this was an incredible expert, but in Li Xianyu's eyes, it was shameful.
A first-rate bloodline clan would at least have a few apex S-class warriors overseeing it.
The Wu Family didn't, so they were no longer a first-rate bloodline family.
Li Xianyu thought for a moment, then summoned the Sword of Qi. The white sword light filled every corner of the interrogation room.
Wu Ding and the Wu Family elders' breathing became heavy, cold sweat beading on their foreheads. They felt a great pressure.
Li Xianyu lightly swung the sword, leaving a shallow wound on their arms. Blood flowed, and the wound was slightly charred.
Without a flesh substance, Li Xianyu didn't look at the Wu Family members' shocked and angry expressions. He fell into deep thought.
They didn't lie, and they weren't parasitized by flesh substance. His initial judgment was that it had nothing to do with the Ancient Fey.
Hiss ~ Is it because the main bloodlines have all been killed? Was it because the Wu Family's secrets were broken?
The current family head, Wu Ding, was not a branch family member, but he wasn't the main bloodline either. He'd been chosen purely because he'd picked a general from a dwarf. It was the same for the other clan elders. The most powerful clan elder had already died in the chaotic battle that day, killed by the army of the useless division head.
They might really not know, but that didn't mean the Wu Family had nothing to do with the Ancient Fey.
Li Xianyu changed his line of thought and asked, "When did the Wu Family start the Puppet Plan? Tell me everything that happened. If you need to check the records, I can give you a phone number. "
"Sixty years ago, I think?" Wu Ding said and looked at the elders with a pleading gaze.
Although he was the family head, he was still too young.
The elders exchanged glances and pushed out the oldest, white-haired elder. He said, "According to the legends in our family, the incomplete diagram was passed down from generation to generation, but it's not clear if it's from the first or second generation ancestor. But I think it was around a hundred years ago, and that was when he obtained the Battle Soul Diagram. "
"Because the Puppet Plan started a hundred years ago, it was still the Republic of China. People's lives were worthless and" puppets "were everywhere. This can't be blamed on the Wu Family. Back then, all the factions were thinking about saving the country and protecting themselves. The tragedy of the third generation of the Li Family happened under that background. "
"This old man is ninety-two this year and knows a bit more than them. The original Puppet Plan was slightly different from the current one. It was much stronger than what we have now. The reason the Wu Family was able to grow in these chaotic times was because of generations of war slaves. Yes, they were called war slaves. "
"They were all extremely strong and invulnerable. The bullets of the foreigners were like tickles to them, and cannons could not kill them completely."
"However, around seventy years ago, the Wu Family suffered a huge fire. That fire killed dozens of clansmen and all of the war slaves."
An elder with white hair at his temples frowned. "I heard my parents mention this. Apparently, all the results were destroyed in one day. It seems that the family was attacked by foreign enemies. It wasn't until ten years later, which is sixty years ago, that he started to refine puppets again.
Wu Ding was shocked. So the family had such a hidden history.
"It wasn't an attack by foreign enemies. It was the war slaves that went crazy." The white-haired elder sighed, his slightly turbid eyes flashing with light. "I was twenty-one years old and personally experienced that change. It was late at night. I was suddenly awakened by an inhuman howl. I rushed out of the house and found that the sound came from the warehouse where the war slaves were kept. "
"At first, I also thought that it was an enemy attack, that someone was coveting our family's treasures. But when I got closer, I found that the war slaves had gone crazy. No, they had lost control. They were all forged from dead people and had no consciousness. But in order to make them listen to control, we sealed remnant souls in their bodies. "
"For some reason, the primordial spirits in the war slaves went crazy and lost control. They killed anyone they saw and ate each other. The clan spent a lot of effort to settle them, burning them all with a fire. "
"The family ordered that no one was to mention this again. Otherwise, they would be punished. Only ten years later did they start forging puppets again. "
Li Xianyu thought for a moment. "Great-grandmother, what do you think?"
"It was out of control." Great-grandmother nodded. "The Peerless Battle Spirit's diagram is flawed. There is no doubt about this. I lost control back then. My heart was filled with killing intent. I wanted to destroy all living things in front of me. "
"If I'm not wrong, the battle spirit diagram that the Wu Family controls is only a part of it. Back then, they had a relatively complete diagram. The puppets that Bosch found in the Wu Family's ice warehouse were pure corpses. There were no remnant souls. "
Wu Ding hurriedly waved his hands. "We didn't know."
Li Xianyu ignored him and followed Great-grandmother's train of thought. "A hundred years ago, with the Wu Family's power, it was impossible for them to obtain a relatively complete battle spirit diagram. Also, it is a fact that the battle spirit diagram was destroyed. Therefore, it is most likely that there is an Ancient Yao behind the Wu Family. And it is the mastermind behind the Peerless Battle Spirit project. Therefore, even if the battle spirit diagram was destroyed, he was able to restore it. "
Ancient, Ancient Yao?!
The Wu Family was shocked. Wasn't it supposed to be anti-human? How did it become related to Ancient Yao? Were their ancestors related to Ancient Yao?
Li Xianyu frowned. "Why did he use the Wu Family to forge the Peerless Battle Spirit?"
"Yes. Considering Dan Yunzi's situation, we can guess that he has been improving the battle spirit diagram in an attempt to forge a controllable peak Extreme Dao."
"After failing to forge the Peerless Battle Spirit, he started experimenting again in an attempt to improve it. This is understandable. The Wu Family's battle slaves were probably just one of his experiments. "
"However, Dan Yunzi was also a failure. Dan Yunzi was willing to be controlled, but he was unable to digest the Poisontail Ruler. How could a Ruler be so easily digested? In the end, he went half-crazy."
"There's something else that doesn't make sense. The person controlling all of this should be a Ruler. There's no way he didn't know about this. Therefore, Dan Yunzi was a test subject that could be abandoned at any time? "
The unprecedented Peerless Battle Spirit was born, but it also failed. Therefore, he experimented on mortals to improve the diagram. In the end, he seemed to feel that this path was not working, so he took another path, which was Dan Yunzi's path.
Combining all the clues, Li Xianyu felt that he had grasped the direction of the mastermind's experiments over the past hundred years.
"But why the Wu Family?" Li Xianyu was puzzled.
Great-grandmother's heart stirred. "Do you have pen and paper? No, brush and ink."
Li Xianyu immediately called Dharmaraja and asked him to bring over a brush and ink.
A moment later, Dharmaraja came down with a fine brush, a bottle of ink, and a few pieces of white paper.
Great-grandmother unfolded the paper and used her and her great-grandson's phones as paperweights. She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and drew on the white paper.
Great-grandmother was the daughter of an ancient rich family. Zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were the necessary skills for a daughter. Great-grandmother was a stupid girl. She was not proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she was good at painting. Drawing talismans was also a kind of painting.
She obviously wanted to draw. She didn't know how to draw modern drawings, so she could only use painting.
She wanted to draw a portrait. After sketching the face, she paused. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and an expression of reminiscence and contemplation appeared on her face.
Great-grandmother tore the white paper and continued drawing. After repeating this a few times, she finally finished drawing.
On the white paper, the ink sketched out a lifelike figure. He wore a Qing court official's hat, had braided hair, a cold and stiff face, and a slightly flat nose. His eyes were deep and full of great wisdom.
Great-grandmother looked at it carefully for a moment and nodded in satisfaction. She pushed it to the Wu Family. "Do you recognize this person?"
Wu Ding glanced at it first, then shook his head.
The elders passed the portrait to each other, but none of them recognized it.
When the portrait was passed to the oldest white-haired elder, he let out a sound of surprise. He rubbed his murky eyes and reached out to cover the Qing court official's hat. He stared at the face for a long time. "Similar, really similar."
Great-grandmother's eyes were deep and obscure.
Li Xianyu asked, "Similar to what? You know him? "
The white-haired elder nodded. "Like our master at that time. All the war slaves were refined by him."
Li Xianyu felt an electric current passing through his skin. His scalp went numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body. This was caused by excitement. "Great-grandmother, who is he?"
Great-grandmother said faintly, "The Qing Regent, Aisin Gioro Dorgon."
