After talking with Sun Bingwen, Jiang Qiao obtained a great deal of useful information.
He also gained a rough understanding of this world.
This damn world really was an ancient dynastic world with a wuxia flavor. Moreover, it was in the middle-to-late stages of the dynasty, a world where disorder had already begun to emerge.
Wuxia?!
Holy crap!
The supernatural powers here had been altered into True Qi Internal Arts?
That was insane!
However, Jiang Qiao had also heard several special keywords, such as the fact that this so-called Great Qi Dynasty had been established six hundred years ago.
That happened to be when Tongling Island sank.
So.
Were the two actually connected?
Aside from that.
Vicious Ghosts had always existed in this world, but their numbers had once been relatively small, and the harm they caused had not been great.
Over the past few decades.
Vicious Ghosts had begun to grow increasingly terrifying.
Moreover.
As the harm caused by Vicious Ghosts increased, natural disasters such as torrential rain, hurricanes, and droughts had also become more frequent one after another. Many people suspected that Great Qi's destiny was declining and that its six-hundred-year national fortune was nearing its end.
Of course.
No one currently dared to discuss such topics openly.
"What about six hundred years ago?"
"What was it like before Great Qi was established? Were there other dynasties?"
Jiang Qiao asked curiously.
"I don't know."
Sun Bingwen shook his head and said:
"Forget six hundred years ago. In truth, very few people even know the history of three hundred years ago. The aristocratic families and Imperial Family above seem to be deliberately concealing something. All the historical records from the early years are gone."
"Occasionally, you can find fragmentary records in some old, solitary editions."
"But they're too scattered."
