Chapter 81 

Jiangnan City No. 1 High School, October 15th.

"Hey Uncle Tian, what's wrong?"

After listening to what Yu Tianqi said on the phone, Su Chen felt very good.

On the phone, Yu Tianqi told him that the guy who lurked in his house to do something bad had been arrested three days ago, so Su Chen could rest assured.

After that, Yu Tianqi suddenly started talking about what happened to Su Chen ten years ago.

Ask him if he saw anything special when the Black Lotus Cult performed the 'Nine Heavens Blood Lotus Formation' in the southern part of the city ten years ago.

The reason why Yu Tianqi asked him was very simple.

That is, Su Chen was one of the few survivors of the great changes in the southern part of Jiangnan City.

Although Su Chen was only eight years old at the time, Yu Tianqi still wanted to see if he could get some clues from Su Chen.

After all, after so many years of investigation, Yu Tianqi roughly understood the purpose of the Black Lotus Cult setting up the Nine Heavens Blood Lotus Formation in Jiangnan City.

The so-called Nine Heavens Blood Lotus Formation is essentially sacrificial.

The effect is that the people in the formation can be used as sacrifices to please the ancient deity they believe in—the compassionate Black Lotus Buddha Mother.

In exchange for some special rewards from that ancient being.

However, the Nine Heavens Blood Lotus Formation was accidentally broken by a passing Divine Soul cultivator from the Kyushu Immortal Alliance, so the formation failed to achieve its full effect.

It also allowed a group of lucky people, including Su Chen, to survive.

Although the formation was destroyed midway, more than 100,000 people in the formation were used as sacrifices.

Therefore, the Black Lotus Cult finally got what they wanted from the ancient being, the compassionate Black Buddha Mother.

But it was also because the Divine Soul cultivator who suddenly appeared at that time was too powerful.

As a result, the several Black Lotus Cults members who were in charge of the formation had no time to take the gift away and could only let it disappear into the ruins in the south of the city.

This is also one of the key reasons why the southern suburbs of the city have not yet been restored and rebuilt after ten years.

After all, over the past ten years, the Immortal Alliance has sent many people to turn the ruins in the south of the city upside down, trying to find that thing.

Yu Tianqi is one of them.

But to this day, no one, including Yu Tianqi, has found the mysterious gift that was left in the ruins in the south of the city.

But after so many years of investigation, the Immortal Alliance has confirmed one thing.

That was the mysterious gift that was lost that year. It was either secretly taken away by the Black Lotus Cults members or it fell into the hands of some lucky person in the formation at that time.

If that thing was buried in the ruins in the south of the city, there is no reason why a large number of Immortal Alliance cultivators could not find it after searching for ten years.

However, after a detailed investigation of the more than 5,000 survivors in the formation, the Immortal Alliance finally gave up the idea of continuing the investigation.

Because they didn't find anything unusual in the survivors of that year.

But with the reappearance of the Black Lotus Cult, Yu Tianqi felt that perhaps that thing was hidden somewhere in Jiangnan City, or on someone.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for these Black Lotus members to be obsessed with Jiangnan City.

Therefore, after recalling Su Chen's identity as a survivor, he asked curiously.

But faced with this question, Su Chen was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Because if he wants to say it, he is quite special.

Because it was during that great battle... that he traveled to this world.

But the matter of time travel was a secret that Su Chen would rather take to his grave than tell, so he would certainly not tell it to Yu Tian.

So when faced with Yu Tianqi's question, Su Chen gave a similar answer as he did back then.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Tian. I was too young back then, and the whole thing was over when I woke up, so I really can't remember too many special circumstances."

Yu Tianqi was not surprised by this answer and said with a smile, "It's okay, Xiao Chen; I just asked casually; you don't have to take it to heart."

"You should practice well recently and don't think too much."

"The current Jiangnan City is no longer the Jiangnan City of ten years ago. Those bastards from the Black Lotus Cult can no longer easily drag Jiangnan City into chaos like they did ten years ago."

"When you have your winter vacation, I, your uncle Tian, will take you and Xiao Ye to a nice place."

"After you come back from there, I won't say that I can make you and Xiao Ye build your foundation 100%, but I will have no problem letting you shine in the Immortal Sect College Entrance Examination."

Hearing this, Su Chen's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Uncle Tian, what is so amazing?"

"Hahaha! Keep it a secret for now, and you'll know when the time comes."

"Okay, your uncle Tian has a lot of things to do recently, so let's not talk about it for now. When I'm done, I'll invite you and Xiao Ye to taste the new cooking skills I've learned recently."

"Okay, Uncle Tian, go ahead and get busy."

Su Chen hung up the phone and secretly analyzed the information contained in these words.

Although Yu Tianqi had never told him what the Black Lotus Cult members were trying to do in Jiangnan City.

However, through the information collected during this period, Su Chen has almost figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

"The thing they're looking for...could it be the mysterious fruit I accidentally ate when I first traveled through time?"

You have to know that when Su Chen first traveled through time, his physical condition was very bad.

Not only were his meridians severed, but his spiritual roots were also absorbed by the Nine Heavens Blood Lotus Formation.

It can be said that Su Chen had one foot in the gate of hell at that time and was not far from death.

But then he inexplicably saw a blood-red fruit falling in front of him.

For some unknown reason, Su Chen swallowed it directly.

After that, not only did he condense new spiritual roots in his body, but his originally depleted body also improved.

Therefore, from the perspective of outsiders, Su Chen was lucky enough to survive the formation, but his foundation was damaged.

But only Su Chen knew that, in every sense, he was already dead at that time.

It was only because his soul was replaced and his body was repaired by the fruit that he miraculously came back to life.

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but touch his chest.

Ten years have passed, and Su Chen no longer cares about what happened back then.

Because he didn't feel that there was anything special about his body.

They only regarded the blood-red fruit of that year as a rare treasure that could bring the dead back to life.

But judging from the recent actions of the Black Lotus Sect and the importance Yu Tianqi attaches to this matter,

Su Chen suddenly felt that the fruit might be more special than he thought.

But if that were the case, why hadn't he noticed anything unusual about his body over the years?

"Forget it; thinking about these things now is just a waste of time."

"Besides, I've already eaten the fruit, and I've digested it after all these years."

"Even if they are looking for it, as long as I don't tell you... who would know?"

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately stopped thinking about these messy things.

Instead, he focused on his own game.

After all, it was after so many days of accumulation and the reward he got after completing the dungeon of the Ancient Sword Tomb.

He can also continue to improve the proficiency of Green Lotus Pupils.

Only by improving his cultivation will he have the confidence to deal with any problems he may encounter.
