Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1604 Linjiangxian 25

Jiang Xinxin also had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Hua Ruyue. She had heard Hua Ruyue say before that she had helped Meng Changqin find the drought dragon, the culprit that had caused the consecutive years of drought in the three northwestern states, and had instructed Meng Changqin to kill the drought dragon. She couldn't believe what she heard.

Bai Jiusi sealed Hua Ruyue's magic power obviously to give an explanation to the Xuantian angel. It is even very likely that he suddenly disappeared just to take the blame for Hua Ruyue and go back to be punished.

Jiang Xinxin was not trying to excuse Bai Jiusi, but based on their understanding of each other over the years, this was something Bai Jiusi would do.

There was nothing wrong with Bai Jiusi's original arrangement, but the key was that at that time only Hua Ruyue knew that she was pregnant with Bai Jiusi's child Shi'an. Bai Jiusi, as the father, knew nothing, so it almost directly caused the suffering of Hua Ruyue and Shi'an.

The cause and effect relationship is not confusing, but it is difficult to deal with. Hua Ruyue is now full of resentment towards Bai Jiusi, and even Jiang Xinxin believes that she has begun planning to take revenge on Bai Jiusi.

But Jiang Xinxin also believed that from Bai Jiusi's perspective, he knew nothing and had even made a decision that he thought was very correct and very satisfactory. It would be a pity if the two of them really became enemies.

But it was inappropriate to speak up for Bai Jiusi at this time. Jiang Xinxin could only express her opinion on Hua Ruyue's assistance to Meng Changqin in killing the drought dragon. She asked Hua Ruyue directly, "What is the origin of this drought dragon? Why is it responsible for the continuous drought in the three northwestern states?"

Hua Ruyue was interrupted by Jiang Xinxin's words and temporarily broke free from her hatred for Bai Jiusi. However, after being asked by Jiang Xinxin, she realized that she had not handled the matter properly at the beginning, and she hesitated when she spoke again: "The drought dragon is entrenched in Wuju Mountain. Wuju Mountain is the source of water for the three northwestern states. A mountain range full of spiritual energy has now become a land of yellow earth. The local people all hate the drought dragon's actions..."

Jiang Xinxin thought that the drought in the three northwestern states was really the fault of the people living around Wuju Mountain.

But she couldn't say this openly. Moreover, although she was sure that she had arrived at a different time point, she didn't dare to insist that Hanlong had done nothing.

Jiang Xinxin pondered for a moment and suggested, "Now that you have no ties here anymore, it's not easy for you to stay any longer. Why don't we go to Wuju Mountain and see if there's anything else going on there?"

Hua Ruoyue nodded hurriedly. She was willing to go anywhere as long as she could leave this sad place.

Jiang Xinxin took Hua Ruyue and flew slowly on the clouds. Hua Ruyue had always traveled by flying in the past, so when she came down to earth to experience the tribulation, she had the leisure to turn into a puppy and tease Meng Chi, who was still a child at that time.

But now Hua Ruyue has been forced to seal her magic power for more than ten years. Apart from her immortal body that can protect her from being harmed by mortals and things, when she stands high in the sky again, she also has a feeling of being in another world.

Although there was no shortage of deserts in the northwest, Hua Ruyue looked at the Wuju Mountain below, which had regained its green hue, and couldn't help but mutter, "The last time I came here, it was still a mossy, yellow mess. Now it's finally returned to its original green..."

Jiang Xinxin's mood became increasingly heavy. She didn't even need to use her spiritual sense to explore. She could see several familiar pits left by mining with her naked eyes. So the Wuju Mountain in front of her was still dug up by the surrounding mortals, and then became a stranger. Even if Hanlong had taken advantage of the situation in the middle, it was just a matter of going with the flow, and it was not considered as deliberately making things difficult.

But now, Hanlong was actually killed by Meng Changqin under the guidance of Hua Ruyue. This is a serious cause and effect. No wonder Bai Jiusi wanted to quickly seal Hua Ruyue's cultivation and go to heaven to accept punishment, because the mistake Hua Ruyue made was really not small!

Jiang Xinxin didn't rush to descend. Instead, she pointed out the obvious collapses on Wuju Mountain to Hua Ruyue from the air. "Ayue, I'm sure you can see that those places are not natural collapses, but collapses caused by mortals digging too much underground..."

There was no need for Jiang Xinxin to say anything extra. Hua Ruyue's already pale face was drained of all its color. "Yuan Xin, what you mean is that I... wrongfully killed... Han Long..."

Jiang Xinxin nodded gravely. "Yes, as far as I know, Wuju Mountain has always been the home of drought dragons. They have lived here before the birth of humans..."

"He went out to slay demons and monsters, but the mortals, seeing that the master of Wuju Mountain was away, not only mined the mountain illegally, but also nearly cut off the mountain's water source, causing years of drought in the three northwestern states..."

Hua Ruyue could hardly stand. She couldn't help but tremble all over. She finally regretted her behavior of using magic power privately in the mortal world. She also finally believed what Bai Jiusi had advised her at the beginning, that Meng Chi and Meng Chi's descendants might be one of the calamities they were destined to overcome.

But the price she paid was too great.

Hua Ruoyue knew that she was very sad and full of regret, but she couldn't shed a single tear. She felt like she was struck by lightning, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't make sense of anything. She only knew that she had made a big mistake, and this big mistake led to a series of tragedies that happened to her later.

There was no need for Jiang Xinxin to say anything more. Hua Ruyue could guess why Bai Jiusi insisted on sealing her cultivation despite her crying and pleading. It must be that her act of instructing Meng Changqin to kill the drought dragon alarmed the Xuantian envoy, so for her safety, Bai Jiusi sealed her cultivation first.

As for why Bai Jiusi disappeared completely afterwards, Hua Ruyue guessed that maybe Bai Jiusi was being punished for her.

That's very possible, isn't it?

Hua Ruoyue trembled as she held Jiang Xinxin's hand, wanting to get even a little support from her.

Jiang Xinxin held Hua Ruyue's hand without hesitation and comforted her.

"Ayue, listen, now is not the time to indulge in regrets. Don't forget that Shi'an's remaining soul is being nurtured. Before he fully recovers, you must settle all the consequences that he shouldn't have to bear!"

Shi'an helped Hua Ruyue regain some consciousness. She finally stopped trembling and became more determined. "Yuan Xin, you're right. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. I need to atone for my rash interference, and I must not let Shi'an continue to bear the consequences that he shouldn't have to bear!"

Having said that, Hua Ruyue followed Jiang Xinxin to land at the foot of Wuju Mountain. Looking at the vibrant scene before her, she didn't know how she could make up for the sin of unjustly killing Hanlong.

He could only tentatively ask Jiang Xinxin: "Yuan Xin, do you have any way to investigate? Perhaps the residual soul of the drought dragon is still left in Wuju Mountain..."

Jiang Xinxin had been doing this secretly for a long time, but the result was not ideal. Hanlong was unjustly killed here by Meng Changqin and Hua Ruyue. The dragon's flesh and blood turned into spiritual power to nourish Wuju Mountain, but Hanlong's soul could no longer be found.
