Chapter 2565: All Clues Are Before Us
Zu An’s expression darkened. He'd been so happy to be reunited with Yun Yuqing that he only thought about this possibility when the Mermaid Queen mentioned it. He turned to the Goddess of Wu Mountain and asked with a quivering voice, “What will happen to the person with the Cruel Poison Constitution during the forging of the Myriad Souls Banner?”
“Don’t worry. The person with the Cruel Poison Constitution will only be assimilated into the Myriad Souls Banner at the final step of the forging to maximize its prowess. The forging isn’t at its final step yet, so Miss Ji shouldn’t be in danger yet,” the Goddess of Wu Mountain consoled him, knowing what he was worried about.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the Chang clan and the Genesis Shaman race had likely been wiped out by the Myriad Souls Banner, it was still considered a small-scale massacre compared to what it was truly capable of. There were legends that when a true Myriad Souls Banner appeared, the sky would darken and all lives would be assimilated.
Wuhui also said, “I have heard some rumors about the Myriad Souls Banner. Its flagpole is usually made of thousand-year-old yin wood from Scholar Trees or coffin wood. However, this Myriad Souls Banner is a special one. Its flagpole is made from yin wood that has been soaked with malevolent energies from ancient battlefields, or corpse ki, for at least ten thousand years.
“The banner normally has to be embroidered with human skin, but neither the Chang clansmen nor the Genesis Shamans have been skinned, so the culprit must have opted for another method. The other alternative is to use cloth stripped from powerful corpses overflowing with resentment.
“Other than that, the Myriad Souls Banner requires a core—a powerful vengeful spirit dripping with resentment to control other vengeful spirits. The mysterious man has likely chosen your friend as the main vengeful spirit. Your friend might be lacking in strength, but her unique poison constitution makes up for that. If the forging succeeds, the resulting Myriad Souls Banner will be far stronger than the world has ever seen. Wherever it appears, countless will die.”
“That means Xiaoxi is in danger!” Zu An was alarmed.
“It takes 81 days to forge the core. Miss Yun, how many days has it been since your companion was kidnapped?” Wuhui asked Yun Yuqing.
