Chapter 191 Solve the doubts
Upon hearing this, Wu Shang nodded repeatedly, while Hu Ruian also looked at the old woman with suspicion and said:

"I know a great deal about Fallen God Peak, but I have never heard of any disciples or followers being asked to kill any divine beings."

The old woman's expression shifted slightly before she said:

"This matter concerns the survival of the Fallen God Peak Sect. Only the core members of the sect know about it and it is being carried out in secret. Naturally, it is impossible for it to be leaked to outsiders. It is normal that you do not know about it."

However, Hu Ruian shook his head and said:

"Since this matter cannot be disclosed to outsiders, how did you find out about it?"

"There are no secrets that stay hidden forever..."

The old woman was about to continue explaining when Hu Ruian interrupted her, saying:

"Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, I still don't know what this so-called divine being you speak of is?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman paused, sat down on the damp ground, licked her dry, cracked lips, and stared at Hu Ruian with her cloudy eyes:
"Whether you believe it or not, I've said what I needed to say. As for those who are divine..."

"Such a person is one in ten thousand, countless times rarer than the so-called peerless martial arts geniuses in the martial arts world..."

"Divine beings are endowed with divine abilities. They are born with supernatural powers that ordinary people cannot master. They are very different from ordinary people and completely different from the path of martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shang and the others all showed strange expressions. The divine person the old woman spoke of, with what kind of talent and divine ability, they had never heard of such a thing before.

After listening to what the other woman had just said, they now felt that the ugly old woman in front of them was talking nonsense and was just making fun of them.

However, Li Musheng looked thoughtful, regardless of whether the old woman's words were reliable or not.

However, his ability to accept information was significantly stronger than that of Wu Shang and others. According to his understanding, the so-called innate divine ability mentioned by the old woman should be similar to Magneto or Phoenix, beings who possess some kind of superpower.

However, he clearly transmigrated to a martial arts world, so how come he suddenly has superpowers now?
Li Musheng looked at the old woman with suspicion. At this moment, Hu Ruian sized her up for a while and suddenly spoke:

"According to you, the villages and towns on this death list were slaughtered by the Tianjin Guard in order to help Luoshen Peak eliminate the divine beings."

"But what I'm more curious about now is whether the haunting of Tianjinwei is related to this? Why were you imprisoned here? Do divine beings really exist?"
"Or perhaps, those who pretend to be mystics are actually the so-called divine beings you speak of?"

Faced with Hu Ruian's question, the old woman suddenly fell silent, but her cloudy eyes kept secretly sizing up Li Musheng.

Li Musheng naturally noticed the other person's gaze. He immediately frowned and waved his hand, saying:
"You're getting on in years, so stop having such wild thoughts. I'm destined to be someone you can't have."

Upon hearing this, the old woman in the cell was stunned.

The big black cat that had been lying at Li Musheng's feet suddenly widened its eyes, tilted its head back and looked at him, as if it were showing an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, the old woman realized what was happening, and her face twitched involuntarily before she began to cough violently.

After a long while, she looked at Li Musheng intently, then immediately looked away and said:
"Divine beings are truly favored by Heaven and are extremely rare. In the entire Shengzhou, the number of divine beings that may be born within five years is definitely no more than a handful."

“A characteristic of divine beings is that extraordinary phenomena occur at their birth, as if a god has descended upon the world.”

As she spoke, the old woman glanced at the book in Hu Ruian's hand and said:
"The list above is of places in Shengzhou where strange phenomena have occurred. The Tianjin Guards also use this feature to find divine beings and then eliminate them all."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian nodded slightly and said, "What you've said does make sense now, but..."

At this point, his aura suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"You haven't answered any of the questions I asked you earlier."

The old woman shook her head, then suddenly stood up. Her old face, covered in pustules, looked solemnly at Li Musheng and said:

"Actually, I know that your martial arts skills are extremely amazing."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng stroked his chin and nodded, saying:
"You have good taste, but I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts."

The old woman narrowed her cloudy eyes, a hint of anger flashing across them, but then she waved her hand and said:

"Very well, I will now confess everything to you."

Then, she glanced at the large black cat outside the cell and said:
"The haunting of the Tianjin Guard in Shengzhou is indeed related to this list. They aided and abetted the evildoers and indiscriminately killed innocent people. Almost all the divine beings who have not yet matured in the past five years have died at their hands."

"Therefore, it is natural that people of divine nature would come to seek revenge, and those who were killed in the Tianjin Guard deserved to die."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian stared at the old woman and said:

"You know so much about this matter, are you also a divine being?"

"Yes."

The old woman did not deny it, but continued to speak:

"However, those ghostly laughter were not caused by me, so I did not lie to you before. The reason I came here was also intentional."

"Our trip to Shengzhou is not only about seeking revenge against the Tianjingwei, but also about finding a hidden divinity born in Shengzhou."

"Unfortunately, we've been here for quite some time, but we still haven't found any clues."

At this moment, Wu Shang, who was standing at the back, suddenly spoke up:
"According to you, you had a reason for killing the people of Tianjin Guard in Shengzhou, but I heard that a group of martial arts practitioners entered the Tianjin Guard branch and were also hanged by you."

Upon hearing this, the old woman glanced at Wu Shang and squinted, saying:
“Those so-called martial arts figures were just assassins sent by Mei Yan to deal with us, and they deserved to die as well.”

"The Mei family has done countless despicable things in secret to climb up the Luoshen Peak. If it weren't for Mei Yan's father-in-law being a martial saint, we would have killed him long ago!"

Hu Ruian remained silent, seemingly pondering whether the connection between the Mei family and Luoshen Peak was truly as the old woman before him had described.

At this moment, Cheng Zhong suddenly spoke up:

"You didn't take action during the day today, is it because we have nothing to do with the person who killed the divinity?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman glanced at Li Musheng and said:
"That's one reason, but more importantly, we don't have the ability to take you down."

At this moment, Li Musheng's mind was not on this matter; instead, he looked at the old woman with curiosity:

"Since you are divine beings, then demonstrate your divine talents and abilities. After all, only in this way can we confirm whether you are lying?"
