Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 83 The Mystery of the Wu Clan
Pei Nai suddenly remembered that King Xiangluo said before his death that the Wu tribe came for the Hun tree pieces.

If it wasn’t Tianyao, would their destination be Lu State?
But the Wu tribe had already sent cavalry to capture the State of Lu, so there was no need to mobilize such a large army. Unless they were in urgent need of finding the secret realm of the State of Lu, they would be desperate and spare no expense.

Could it be that in the secret realm of Lu State, besides Linshangshui, there are other Hunshu pieces?

The more Pei Nai thought about it, the more his head hurt.

What is the relationship between Linshangshui and Hunshupian?
Why did the monk Jingjue say that Linshang Water was the key to resolving the disaster?
At this time, Ju Yan spoke up: "You have been in the Wu tribe for more than 20 years, and you are very familiar with the situation of the Wu tribe from top to bottom. Have you ever heard of 'Lin Shang Shui' in the Wu tribe's territory?"

The person he called had worked as a spy in the Wu tribe.

After listening to Ju Yan, he thought carefully and replied, "No. But I have heard of the Holy Water of Lu Country."

There were only a few people present who knew the inside story, and they all had some reactions when they heard this.

"Where did you hear it?" Jiang Yueteng asked suddenly.

The man pondered and said slowly, "Eleven years ago, the subordinates of the Ninth Prince of the Wu Clan presented him with a rare item from the Kingdom of Lu. The item was unique to the Kingdom of Lu and looked no different from ordinary water in the sun. However, if placed at night or in a dark and sealed room, it would emit a variety of colors of light, so people called it: the Holy Water of the Kingdom of Lu."

Everyone's attention was on him and the surroundings were very quiet.

"The Ninth Prince was overjoyed and presented half of the holy water to the Wu clan's God King. However, after opening the bottle, the Wu clan's God King smelled the scent and lost consciousness. After waking up, he was furious and stripped the Ninth Prince of his title and executed his three clans for regicide."

Passed out on the spot?

Pei Nai was surprised, if Linshang Water had such an effect, why was it only effective on the Wu clan's God King?
"Seven years ago, the Wu tribe suddenly sent troops to attack the Lu country. Is it related to this matter?" General Zhou Weiguo suddenly asked.

The man shook his head, "It's impossible to be sure about this, but the Wu Clan's Iron Cavalry was indeed ordered to search for a legendary secret place within the territory of the Lu Kingdom."

"What the Wu clan is looking for is the 'Lin Shang Water' in the secret realm." Pei Nai added.

She spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention.

The people present had different looks, but no one dared to say anything.

But Ju Yan showed some doubt.

He looked at Pei Nai, but this time he did not call her Madam. He only said, "Prince Xiangluo said before his death that one of the goals of the Wu tribe's invasion ten years ago was the 'Hun Tree Slice'?"

Perhaps other people who don’t know the inside story are confused and puzzled.

But for those who already know the cause and effect, it is like an epiphany. The doubts and mysteries that have accumulated for a long time all have a way out and are suddenly cleared up.

Pei Nai was shocked.

Xiao Mingyi dismissed everyone and only left Ju Yan, Jiang Yueteng and a few of his own confidants.

After everyone around him quieted down, Pei Nai finally said what he had been holding back for a long time: "If the effect of 'Lin Shang Shui' is to destroy the 'Hun Shu Pian', then the Wu clan god is the one who used the 'Hun Shu Pian'?"

Eleven years ago, the Wu clan god fell into a coma due to "Lin's injury to water".

The following year, the Wu clan took advantage of Xiao Bin's rise to power and launched a large-scale attack on Tianyao, with the goal of obtaining the "Hunshu Pieces".

Too many coincidences point to this one reasonable conclusion.

Xiao Mingyi nodded, "Each generation of Wu clan gods did not leave any offspring. For a long time, the throne was passed down by the previous god before he passed away, and he abdicated to the candidate for successor, and then it was passed down from generation to generation."

Everything seemed to make sense.

“But when the Wu clan was first established, the position of God was hereditary,” Ju Yan reminded.

"You mean to say that the Wu clan's God King for the past few hundred years is the same person?" Pei Nai's brain was a little slow.

She said this and saw the others nod.

A name came into her mind, like a thunderbolt exploding in her ears. She paused for a moment before saying, "Does the time when Ju Yan Qingyun Tianji Yue Cang disappeared coincide with the time when the Wu clan's divine monarch's succession system was greatly changed?"

Ju Yan looked at her deeply and said, "Yes."

"The God of the Wu clan is Yue Cang who has been in seclusion hundreds of years ago?!" one of Xiao Mingyi's confidants asked in surprise.

There was fear in everyone's eyes.

Long before Tianyao was founded, Yue Cang was the best master in the world, and was considered by people to be far superior to the upper three mountains.

What about Yue Cang who has survived for hundreds of years with the help of the "Hun Tree Pieces"?

How terrifying is that?!

The more Pei Nai thought about it, the more terrifying it became. "Because he is Yue Cang, he knows that there is an underground palace under the Tianyao Palace, and that the new 'Hun Shu Piece' is stored in the underground palace. The method of entering and exiting the underground palace will be written in the edict of succession, so he sent Yu Ying to help him seize the 'Hun Shu Piece'."

She pulled out a piece of the pure tree from her sleeve and said, "So the Wu tribe's purpose for this expedition is precisely this piece of the pure tree?"

This conclusion seems beyond doubt.

But Ju Yan suddenly asked: "Will the 'Hunshu Slice' remain intact after the user dies and can be reused many times?"

Pei Nai didn't understand what he meant, but nodded anyway.

Ju Yan strode towards the sand table, and everyone followed slowly.

He pointed to a spot on the sand table and said, "We missed a place. The destination of the Wu tribe's southeastern army is not a neighboring country, but Huayun Village, which is located between Tianyao and Qilu."

Pei Nai's eyes suddenly widened.

But she already understood what Ju Yan meant, "You went to Huayun Village because of... my body?"

"Not bad." Ju Yan nodded.

"But the 'hunshu piece' that was buried with me has been taken out by Senior Nakagawa, and is now wrapped under my tongue. Their trip will definitely be in vain!" Pei Nai said hurriedly.

Xiao Mingyi's face did not change at all, he just said: "Yue Cang does not know that you are resurrected, but everyone knows that Gu Jinheng spent ten years looking for your body. Moreover, General Pei Hao died unexpectedly that year, and you are a woman. He would mistakenly think that by your generation, the Pei family has lost everything about the 'Hun Shu Pian'."

"He's not afraid. What if my father doesn't even leave me the 'Hunshu Pieces'?" Pei Nai frowned.

"It doesn't matter to him whether 'Hunshupian' is in Huayun Village or not. What's important is the geographical location of Huayun Village. Huayun Village is located at the junction of Tianyao, Wuzu and Qilu. It is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can go straight into the borders of the two countries by passing through the village. As long as you capture it, even if it is used as a transit granary, it will have the advantage of terrain." Xiao Mingyi explained to her patiently.

Pei Nai looked at the Huayun Village surrounded by mountains on the sand table, feeling heavy-hearted.

Ju Yan and others had fallen silent at the right time.

Xiao Mingyi spoke again, "There is one more thing. Once the village is breached, Han Ruize will also be captured. You understand better than us what the Wanyue Blood Whip means to the Tianyao people."

Pei Na nodded.

She knew clearly that she, as the heir of the Zhubei Spear, had died for her country ten years ago.

In the eyes of the world, among the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, Tianyao only has Hunxibian, the first of the Five Peaks, left.

As the war between the two countries approaches, if Han Ruize is captured, the morale of Tianyao will surely be greatly damaged.

If the Wu tribe uses this as a threat again, Tianyao will lose the city and hurt the people's morale if he rescues them. If he does not rescue them, not only will the people's morale be hurt, but also their confidence in fighting.

"I will set off for Huayun Village overnight to warn them that the Wu army is approaching and help them make preparations for the war. You should gather the troops as soon as possible and go to support them." Pei Nai made the decision without hesitation.

Xiao Mingyi nodded, "If necessary, you can abandon the village and leave, regardless of any losses. There is only one thing, you and Han Ruize must come back alive!"
