Chapter 2032: Endless Remnants

d will undergo a drastic change!If the Han family seizes the opportunity, they will be able to reach the top!Not until Fang Yu and Qin Lang's figures disappeared from sight did the representatives of..."Smash a tombstone…" Ye Ge's face changed slightly.

The ancient tomb of the Sword Sect was unnervingly quiet, and ever since they had entered the Sword Sect, they had a vague feeling that a pair of eyes were watching them.

One can't help but want to find those eyes, yet there is no trace of them.

This feeling is extremely rare for a cultivator who has ascended to the Immortal Realm.

If you were to shatter a gravestone right now, it might break the peaceful atmosphere here and possibly attract some enemies.

Although I was prepared for danger entering here, it's only just now that we've entered the ancient tomb of the Sword Sect. We haven't even begun to investigate anything...

Ye Ge told Fang Yu about his concerns.

"Isn't this an investigation" Fang Yu raised his brow and said, "Otherwise, if we continue walking in, we'll just see countless tombstones. What's the point Don't worry, even if there is danger, we can handle it. After all, you are a Realm Lord, and I... well, I'm also the biggest demon head in Da Tianchen Star. The two of us working together... basically nothing will go wrong."

"...Alright." Ye Ge could only agree.

Fang Yu turned his head, looking at the tombstone in front of him. The right hand resting on it suddenly clenched tightly.

"Click!"

The terrifying power caused the tombstone, which had stood for tens of thousands of years without a trace, to instantly crack.

Cracks spread, the entire tombstone exploded!

"Bang!"

Dust flew up.

A wisp of yellow gas emanated from within the tombstone.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, released his divine sense, and locked onto the trace of gas.

The gas is trapped in the air.

At this moment, it seemed to possess life and consciousness, surging constantly, as if trying to escape the confines of my mind.

"This is…", Ye Ge’s expression changed beside her, and she said, "This is a remnant soul!"

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

But he shares Night Song's thoughts.

These wisps of yellow gas, that is the remaining soul spirit!

As for who...

Fang Yu looked at the tombstone, reduced to dust, his eyes flickered.

After these Jianzong disciples were killed, their remaining souls were sealed within the tombstones, unable to disperse for a long time. Naturally, they endured eternal torment.

If this is torture, then it is the most cruel torture!

Trapped within a tomb, the souls of the dead remain confined for hundreds of thousands of years.

How much hatred would it take for someone to do such a thing

Fan Yu turned his head to look at the Sword Sect's interior, where thousands of tombstones stood there.

If nothing unexpected happens...all the tombstones are the same.

Each tombstone entombs the lingering souls of the departed.

"Who did this Jianzong offend" Fang Yu frowned and asked, "This is too vicious."

Ye Ge's eyes were cold, and he didn't know what to say.

The Sword Sect existed in the ancient times, its history stretching back too far.

Records about the Jianzong are only scattered in some ancient texts, let alone the specifics of that time.

Therefore, it was impossible to find out what being Jianzong had offended back then.

"Do you think there might also be fragments of memories within the lingering souls" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes. "If so, with so many tombstones here, we could investigate each one and piece together their various memory fragments. Perhaps we could reconstruct the entire incident that occurred back then."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge's eyes lit up, and she said, "Right, that's a good idea!"

"Then I'll take a look at the memories in this remnant soul." Fang Yu said, his divine sense had already enveloped this remnant soul and entered it.

A vast expanse of blackness, followed by a flurry of disorienting images.

It is indeed memory fragments, but they are too shattered, not even a complete picture.

Only various colors stacked together, a blurry shadow can be seen, besides that... nothing.

Fang Yu's divine sense withdrew, his brow furrowed.

Then, he released his hold, allowing the wisp of a soul to disperse naturally.

This was something that should have been done tens of thousands of years ago.

And these souls, yet were forcibly locked here for such a long time.

"How are you doing, Master Fang" Ye Ge asked.

"I didn't catch any useful information. The memories are not only fragmented but also distorted." Fang Yu frowned.

"In that case, we're out of options…" Ye Ge's face wasn't looking good.

“There are so many tombstones in the entire Jianzong, and not every remnant soul is necessarily like this one. There’s still a chance we can find a remnant soul with memory fragments.” Fang Yu said, “However, since this tombstone has already been destroyed, we might as well dig up the ground underneath it and see if there are any discoveries.”

Ye Ge nodded.

He also knows that what he's doing is morally wrong.

But since they had entered the ancient tomb of the Sword Sect, they were determined to find out everything.

Matters of morality and etiquette can be put aside for now.

Furthermore, investigating this matter would also be a way to seek out the perpetrator behind the Sword Sect's annihilation that night.

Fang Yu stood still, taking a step forward with his right foot.

"Boom!"

Qi burst outwards, shaking the earth and sending clods of dirt flying before it.

To my surprise, a complete skeleton was found in the pit!

This is an unexpected situation.

It stands to reason that human skeletons shouldn't exist for this long.

Yet, this skeleton appeared remarkably complete.

"There were no injuries on the bones, quite intact. This indicates that this person died without suffering serious injuries," Ye Ge frowned and said.

Fang Yu nodded, looking at the skeleton.

The skeleton itself isn't particularly noteworthy, but it's remarkable that it's been able to remain intact for so long...

"Zap!"

While Fang Yu was still pondering, the skeleton suddenly turned to dust and dissipated into the air.

This left Fang Yu and Ye Ge both stunned.

"The skeleton itself must have been treated with some sort of potion, or perhaps magic... the moment it was exposed to the open air, it vanished instantly, leaving only dust." Ye Ge said.

Fang Yu turned his head to look at the other tombstones in front of him and said, "Let's go, keep looking."

Over the next period, Fang Yu smashed ten tombstones in succession and dug out the skeletons beneath them.

The situation is pretty much the same as the first one.

There are no memories that can be seen within the soul, and the bones turn to dust immediately upon exposure.

Nothing gained.

"Forget it, let's go into the Jianzong first and see if there are any other abnormalities. We can come back later to study these tombstones." Fang Yu said.

"Good." Ye Ge replied.

The two continued along the path, venturing deeper into the Sword Sect.

The whole way was uphill, not too steep, and there were tombstones on both sides of the road.

The location of the tombstone clearly indicates where those Jianzong cultivators died.

"How did these people die With over a dozen skeletons intact, it means their fatal injuries weren't physical..." Ye Ge frowned as she walked.

“They should have been mass-killed at the same time,” Fang Yu said. “As for how to kill them without harming their bodies, there are many ways, and it’s hard to guess.”

As they talked, they walked over the crest of the hill and saw the latter half of Jianzong.let out pained roars, their bodies visibly swelling, faces contorted with bulging veins. 。After dozens of seconds, the two stopped roaring. Their bodies were now swollen like balloons and their eyes g...
