Heaven-Equaling Ancestor Shi Haojun

Long Xuan also showed a thoughtful expression at this moment. He was not quite sure whether this person's conspiracy was aimed at Blackstone City, or whether Blackstone City was just a diversionary tactic.

If this is a conspiracy against Blackstone City, then we can't stay Blackstone City any longer; we must return as quickly as possible.

Therefore, he needed to find out this person's identity and purpose as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "My clone accidentally saw this person's face when it went out just now."

Although the person wore a mask the whole time, with only his eyes visible, his appearance still couldn't escape Long Xuan's Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

Long Xuan could only hope that his Lineage could learn the man's true identity through his description, which would make it easier to guess his purpose.

Upon hearing this, the two people who were talking paused, stopped talking, and turned to look at him. Long Yuanshan asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what does he look like?"

At this moment, he felt the same way as Long Xuan. Once he knew this person's identity, it wouldn't be hard to guess his purpose in auctioning the Living Wood. This information was very important.

"This man was very handsome and had a tall, strong physique. The only unusual feature was a faint Scarface on his right cheek."

"By the way, this person is also a Peak Gu King." Long Xuan added.

The phrase "Peak Gu King" is enough to greatly narrow down the possibilities; there are very few Gu cultivators who can reach this level.

"He has a faint Scarface on his right cheek, and he's a Peak Gu King." Long Yuanshan's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

Could it be him?

Long Qian's expression turned solemn, and he said in a very serious tone, "It should be him, there's no doubt about it!"

Hearing this, Long Xuan felt secretly anxious. Stop saying "he/she/he/she," how was he supposed to know who he was? Couldn't they just say the person's name directly? It was driving him crazy.

Fortunately, Long Dan was also curious and asked the question that had been bothering him, "Who is he?"

At this moment, many young Long Family Gu cultivators pricked up their ears to listen, while the expressions of the older Long Family Gu cultivators changed, as if they all knew this person.

Long Qian coughed lightly and said, "Let me explain. According to Long Xuan's description of this person, he should be the Great Ancestor Qitian, Shi Haojun."

"Shi Haojun is the number one genius of the Shi Family, one of the Western Land Ten Clans. He was also the number one genius of the Western Land fifty years ago, and the strongest person in Blackstone City."

"He was simply a prodigy in the art of Gu cultivation, reaching the Peak Gu King in less than a century. His talent was unparalleled throughout history, and he was the talk of the town for a time."

"One-half of the reason he is so strong is because he was born with Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is a rare and precious organ that is extremely difficult to be born with, on par with being born with Double Pupils or having Innate Sword Bone."

"The greatest function of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is the ability to hear the thoughts of those around you; this ability is truly terrifying."

"Think about it, if you were to face someone like that, he could hear your thoughts and know what move you were going to use next, so he could prepare a countermeasure in advance."

"Imagine facing an opponent like that, how could you possibly win? All your thoughts and every card you hold in the hand are known to your opponent. How can you possibly win? There's no way you can win."

"Back then, relying on this unparalleled ability, he defeated all opponents in the Western Land and quickly became the strongest in the Western Land, earning the title of the Heaven-Equaling Ancestor Equal to Heaven. At that time, the entire Stone Clan rose to prominence because of him, enjoying immense prestige."

Recalling the events of fifty years ago, Long Qian sighed deeply. Judging from his expression, something bad must have happened later. All the young Long Family Gu cultivators showed curiosity and looked forward to the development of the story.

Long Xuan couldn't help but be startled. He could directly know his opponent's thoughts, what moves they were planning, all their trump cards, and even how to counter them.

This is a bit too much, isn't it? He'd never seen such a shameless ability before. Who could possibly beat this? It's just too unfair.

Faced with a Gu cultivator possessing such unscrupulous abilities, he had no choice but to show his fear and vowed to stay far away from such a person, never giving him the opportunity to eavesdrop on his thoughts.

"And then what? If that's the case, Shi Haojun clearly still alive, so why did he disappear without a trace? He never even returned to Blackstone City,"

Long Ruoxue's curiosity was also piqued, and she asked impatiently.

"I probably already know his purpose in auctioning off the Living Wood, sigh..." Long Yuanshan sighed heavily, "This matter dates back fifty years."

"At that time, an unprecedented plague broke out in Black Moon City. This terrible plague could even infect the Gu King. Many people in Black Moon City died, and the corpses piled up like mountains. If an antidote was not found soon, Black Moon City would not be far from becoming a city of destruction."

"Black Moon City is a megacity with a population exceeding five million, and countless Gu King. They are capable of breaking through the blockade. If we don't provide rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable if those Gu King infected with the plague were allowed to roam freely."

Blackstone City also had to do everything in its power to carry out the rescue.

"However, this plague is simply too bizarre. It appeared without any warning, as if it came out of thin air. We couldn't even find the location of the outbreak, and its toxicity was outrageously strong. No doctor or Alchemist in the entire city could find a way to cure it."

"In the end, it was discovered that only Shi Rui's blood could cure the plague. Shi Rui was Shi Haojun's newlywed wife, who possessed Myriad-Poison-Immunity Body and could break through all poisons. She was also a peerless genius."

"Shi Rui is kind-hearted. She goes to Black Moon City every day to save everyone in the city with her own blood, but kind-hearted people often don't receive anything in return."

"How could her blood alone possibly save the lives of five million people in the city?"

"I still remember how she looked the last time she returned to the city; her face was terribly pale, and she had almost no blood left in her body."

Everyone who heard this felt a pang of sympathy, and felt a deep respect and heartache for this kind-hearted woman.

"And what happened in the end? What became of her?" Long Ruoxue asked anxiously.

"Sigh." Long Yuanshan sighed heavily, "She knows she doesn't have much blood, but every day people from Black Moon City who have been cured by her come to her begging her to go back and treat their relatives."

"She was worn down by their nagging and couldn't stand the moral pressure, so she endured her physical discomfort and went with that group again."

"She left and never came back."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The thought that all the blood had been drained from their bodies immediately crossed their minds.

"Could all the blood have been drained? But with such a large population as Black Moon City, even if all the blood were drained, it wouldn't be enough to save everyone, right? But since Black Moon City still exists, it means it saved everyone back then," Long Dan couldn't help but say.

"That's right, her blood can't save everyone. It's said that after she returned to Blackstone City that day, she saved dozens more people before collapsing from blood loss."

"But those people didn't let her go; while she was unconscious, they forcibly drained all her blood."

At this moment, Long Yuanshan's eyes were filled with a hint of fear as he said grimly, "Even if all her blood were drained, it wouldn't save many people. In the end, she was cut into countless pieces, which saved the entire city."

At that moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps rose on their backs.

Long Ruoxue looked horrified, her stomach churned, and she felt an urge to vomit.

"Faced with death, what would you choose?"

"Black Moon City has both good and evil, but even the monks in the city chose to live when faced with the test of death," Long Yuanshan sighed.

"And in the end? Did the Stone Clan avenge Shi Rui?" Long Ruoxue asked nervously, clenching her fists.

"Heh, with five million people involved in this matter, how can the Stone Clan take revenge? Can they possibly massacre the entire city?"

"Moreover, the Stone Clan didn't have the strength to fight against an entire city on their own, so after accepting compensation from Black Moon City, the matter was dropped."

"Shi Haojun not accept this, broke with his Lineage, and went to Black Moon City alone to avenge his wife."

"But no matter how talented he is, how could he possibly fight against the entire city single-handedly? In the end, he was severely injured by the combined forces of the Gu King of Black Moon City and then escaped."

"After he left, he was never heard from again, and no one knew anything about him. Unexpectedly, fifty years later, he has reappeared in Blackstone City."

Long Yuanshan gave a wry smile, "Even if I don't say it, you probably already guessed why he came back this time."

"If I'm not mistaken, he intends to lure most of the Gu King from Black Moon City to Blackstone City by auctioning off the irresistible Living Wood that the Gu King find hard to resist."

"At that time, there won't be many Gu King stationed in Black Moon City. He might be planning to use a diversionary tactic to massacre the Black Moon City."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked once again. This was absolutely terrifying news. Black Moon City was a megacity with a population of five million. How many people would die?

"Should we notify Black Moon City and tell them to prepare in advance?"

At this moment, a member of the Long Family's Gu Cultivator immediately made a suggestion.

Long Yuanshan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Haven't you learned your lesson from Shi Rui's matter? There are many good deeds you shouldn't do, and you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

Do you know how much disaster your good deed will bring to your Lineage?

"If the Long Family ruins his plans, he'll definitely hold a grudge. He can hear what people are thinking, so finding out who ruined his plans wouldn't be difficult for him."

"Shi Haojun is truly terrifying. If he were to retaliate, it would be something our Long Family could never afford."

"So don't do anything unnecessary. Pretend this never happened. From now on, keep this matter to yourself. Don't mention it to anyone, understand?" Long Yuanshan said sternly to the group of geniuses.

Upon hearing this, the Long Family Gu cultivator who had just suggested sending a message to Black Moon City broke out in a cold sweat.

He never imagined that his well-intentioned reminder would cause such a disaster for his Lineage. He realized he hadn't considered things carefully, and he felt a wave of fear.

This incident has taught him a lesson he will never forget, and he will never again dare to do good deeds indiscriminately.

"Pass on my order: all Gu cultivators of the Long Family are to cease all travel to Black Moon City from this moment forward. Long Family Gu cultivators currently conducting business in Black Moon City Black Moon City must also withdraw within three months."

"Don't tell them the reason. Let them do it secretly, in batches, and make sure they are all gone within three months."

After saying this, Long Yuanshan finally led his group of Gu cultivators away.

The central square was deserted by now; all the Gu cultivators from various races had left, leaving only the Long Family Gu cultivators chatting idly.

Leaving at this time would be quite convenient.

After exchanging bewildered glances, the group of geniuses hurriedly followed, but none of them discussed the matter further on the way. They all kept their mouths shut, fearing that they might inadvertently leak the information and bring disaster upon their Lineage.

Long Xuan mingled in the crowd. Since Shi Haojun's target was Black Moon City, not Blackstone City, he felt relieved.
