Chapter 502: Chapter 502
It was because of the name, The Origin, that Chu Yunsheng was able to take away Hu Zai and a deputy commander from the western front’s air base without single bloodshed. This was probably also the first time Chu Yunsheng felt that the reputation could also bring some benefits to him.
In the East, people called him “the most powerful man in the world”, while in the West, he was regarded as “the most influential man in the world”.
Those two ways of addressing Chu Yunsheng was caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West. But in any case, even though Chu Yunsheng was now implicitly classified as one sequence of “God”, the way that those major forces addressed him, especially among the commoners, had not changed much. The reason for this was not that the major forces did not want to change it, but the same old problem that also happened in the age of light age as well. No matter how fast the information was spread, once people were familiar with something, it would be very hard for them to change it.
As early as Chu Yunsheng left Luoyang City, he had clearly felt that the way that those eastern major forces treated him began to mitigate in a strange way. In particular, Jin Ling City; not only did they leak out the location of the tiger, but they also sent Jing Ji out. They even made the relationship between him and Jing Ji very clear to everyone.
This type of change, he did not know what the inside story was. After all, this was not his expertise. He could only speculate from the information he knew and guess that it would probably have something to do with the man, who claimed that he had tempered his Soul Force with his elemental fire. If this guess was correct, then the identity of that man would be very clear.
He must be the leader of the fire race.
Even if he was not the leader, his status within the Fire Race must be very high. Otherwise, all the forces, especially the cities associated with the Fire Race, would not listen to the man.
In this way, it could explain why Jin Ling City changed its standpoint.
Chu Yunsheng still remembered that Jin Ling City had a very deep relationship with the Fire Race. It seemed that not long after Earth plunged into darkness, and before the Ice Race even appeared, the Fire Race had already been involved in all kinds of aspects of Jin Ling City.
Speaking of Jin Ling City, from the first commander-in-chief to the forces of the Fang family, even Ding Yan’s old friend “Fire King”, Qi Xuan, had the traces of the Fire Race’s support or involvement.
This reminded Chu Yunsheng, who was standing on the back of the sharp-winged insect, of another thing.
When he was still in Jin Ling city, he saw a confidential letter from Qi Xuan through Ding Yan. Based on his limited knowledge at that time, he simply believed what was written in the letter. Even Qi Xuan himself also believed it.
“Brother Thirteen, since the cloaked man came to visit, my body started to show strange signs. although the negotiation was not yet completed, I have a strange feeling that I don’t have much time left. I am very worried. Because I could not find out what caused it. Yesterday, I hid my son in the Bauhinia mountain. If I don’t come back to you to ask for this letter in three days, it means that I am dead, if you still see me, that person is no longer me!”
He did not think much at that time, because at that time he thought that the cloaked man might be the great devil that the senior practitioner mentioned. But now he thought it again, it was very strange.
First of all, what did the cloaked man discuss with Qi Xuan?
Qi Xuan did not mention it, Ding Yan did not make it clear, and the cloaked man was later killed by him. So this secret was buried even deeper.
At that time, Ding Yan told him that it was the power of the Fire King that made the cloaked man interested in him, and wanted him to join them. Ding Yan even told him that the cloaked man might look for him as well.
However, now he thought it carefully again, it seemed like, never once, had the cloaked man actually come to him.
Even after he killed the Purple flame monster, blew up tombs and became famous in Jin Ling city, the cloaked man still didn’t come to him. If someone told him that it was because he was busy preparing for the anti-world, he would probably believe it at that time. But now he would not believe it at all. That didn’t make any sense. There must be some other reasons.
And in all of this, what role did Ding Yan play? Or what did he know that he didn’t tell him? Or maybe Ding Yan was hiding something from the very beginning.
Chu Yunsheng’s suspicion was not without any basis.
Qi Xuan clearly wrote that his body was showing strange signs and it made him worried.
At that time, he didn’t really understand what Qi Xuan meant. He just thought that he was probably mind-controlled by the cloaked man.
However, the truth was that Qi Xian was being “revived”!
Although this “revival” might not have been voluntary, he might have been forced by the cloaked man, the change was not physically but mentally. It was the fear and confusion of having another memory in his mind that made him leave that letter.
But Qi Xuan didn’t die.
Not only was he not dead, but he might have been successfully received while still preserving his human memory. This could be seen from the Ice messenger Li, who he encountered quite many times before.
Perhaps there might be something wrong with his Revival, or it was just too slow, it was probably the reason why he was not kicked out from the space-time portal at that time.
However, during the time of the disappearance of Jin Ling City, there was enough time for him to complete the revival and completely restore his power.
With the power of the Dark Warriors in Jin Ling City, they would not be able to defeat him at all. So, who was the actual ruler of Jin Ling City at that time? Was Ding Yan or Qi Xuan?
Or maybe because the cultivation methods he left behind helped them to form a power balance?
However, if Ding Yan knew it at that time, it would be another case. Maybe Ding Yan and even Yao Xiang had already become the members of the Fire Race through the revival.
Maybe there was more to the death of his aunt’s family.
“Do you know Edgar, that black man, is he still alive or not?” Chu Yunsheng dropped Mo Shangyan and asked calmly while looking at the fast-flying light dot that was currently piercing through the darkness in the sky from the horizon.
“You’re talking about the cultivation propagator?” Mo Shangyan calmly adjusted her clothes, raised her head, and looked at Chu Yunsheng with complicated expressions in her eyes.
At the moment, the excitement in her heart was far greater than the fear and nervousness.
Nowadays, in this crumbling world, no one else had more complicated feelings towards the man, who was currently standing in front of her, than the people from Jin Ling city, or from the city that they now called the sky city.
They were the people who witnessed the power of Chu Yunsheng the earliest, and they were the people who knew Chu Yunsheng the longest. Most importantly, they were the people who witnessed the collapse of the office building that day.
The fears and the worries they had on that day, and the struggles they had on that day, the despair they had on that day… There were many things that happened on that day that people didn’t want to remember because that day too much blood and tears had shed.
Mo Shangyan still remembered that on that day, before the burning office building, the Fire Master was holding the body of a girl, crying hysterically until he could no longer make any sound…
“Yes, is he still alive?” Chu Yunsheng nodded as his eyes reflected clear gleams.
