Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 95
Chapter 95: World-purifying Book 2
While I can’t directly spoil anything, I can help Yun Que avoid some detours: “I sensed a small compartment in the secret chamber you just visited. There might be something inside that can answer your questions. You can look for it carefully. ”
Yun Que was about to carry Liuli to the secret chamber when Liuli pressed his outstretched hand down with a paw: “I don’t like that secret chamber, and I need to rest. ”
That secret chamber is where the Yun Clan ancestor tricked the Nine-Lives Cat Demon, making her pledge one life as a token of sincerity to sign a contract with the Yun Clan. Once Yun Que discovers this secret, he will understand why Liuli is unwilling to go there.
This is Liuli’s growth after experiencing a world in a symbiotic state. She understands better how to maintain her host body’s persona. The possibility of her disguise being discovered will definitely not happen again. Liuli is very confident about this.
Yun Que, hearing this, is no longer in a hurry to find the compartment: “Can you transform into human form? Do I need to arrange a room for you, or should I prepare a cat bed? ”
Liuli’s form upon spiritual transformation into the small world is unchangeable, but Liuli is becoming increasingly skilled at making up excuses to deceive people: “I was a cat when I formed a contract with your ancestor to become a spirit of the artifact. The contract is still in effect, so I can only be a cat. ”
Based on Liuli’s few words about the old contract, Yun Que already feels something is amiss, but before clarifying it, he shouldn’t make rash guesses about his ancestor: “Then I’ll have the butler buy you a cat bed. Let’s put the cat bed in my bedroom so it’s convenient for us to act together. ”
“Okay. ”
Yun Que asked the butler to buy a cat bed for Liuli and informed the butler to let everyone know that Liuli is a Demon Race partner he brought back from his trip and should not be neglected.
The fact that Liuli is the spirit of the World-Purifying Book was unknown to him as the Head of the Family before, indicating that it should remain confidential. However, he will definitely be working with Liuli later, so having a public identity is the most suitable approach.
After settling Liuli, Yun Que searched the secret chamber for three whole days before finally finding a different groove at the top of one wall in the secret chamber. If one isn’t careful, it would be mistaken for a crack caused by the aging structure of the secret chamber.
During these three days of searching, Yun Que also unearthed many objects, secret scrolls, and manuscripts that he hadn’t noticed before. However, he only glanced at them; they weren’t what he wanted to know.
That unusual groove matched an object he found during those three days.
The compartment door opened, revealing only a manuscript. Yun Que has a hunch; this should be what he’s looking for.
The manuscript details the chaos that lasted over a hundred years, starting from the meteorite that fell from the sky a thousand years ago. At first, evil spirits only appeared sporadically near the meteorite fragments. At a certain point, they inexplicably increased dramatically, catching the Xuanmen and the Demon Race completely off guard.
That’s when the territories of humans and demons began to fall rapidly. Finally, the Xuanmen and the Demon Race reached a cooperation agreement. The Demon Race built the suspended Cloud City, and the Xuanmen arranged formations around Cloud City to isolate the meteorite fragments’ influence on the races within Cloud City and suppress the evil spirits gathered around the meteorite fragments.
Yun Que noticed a certain wording: the meteorite fragments would have some impact on the Human Race, the Demon Race, and even other races, but the details weren’t elaborated on. This should be related to the enhanced evil spirits encountered this time.
Next is the complete content of the ancestor’s contract with the cat demon. As he expected, even he as a descendant would want to curse the outrageous extent of it…
Yun Que even considered the possibility of directly dissolving the contract, but his ancestor truly lived up to their name. The establishment of the contract prevented all possibilities of breach, including preventing them, their descendants, from being soft-hearted and dissolving the contract.
Now, Liuli’s method of using a new contract to override the old contract is truly her only way to regain her freedom.
Since Yun Que discovered the possibility of the evil spirits becoming stronger, as one of the City Lords of the nine Cloud Cities, he naturally needs to share information with others to prevent unnecessary casualties.
Yun Que used the special communication talismans between the City Lords and quickly contacted the other City Lords: “Fellow City Lords, this contact is initiated by me, Yun Que. ”
“Is City Lord Yun using this emergency communication talisman because of a significant discovery in the Southeast Ancient City? ”
The speaker is Qin Tian, the Head of the Qin Clan, who has a good relationship with Yun Que and knows that Yun Que went to the Southeast Ancient City to investigate some time ago.
“Yes, in the Southeast Ancient City, I encountered an evil spirit whose appearance and perception were no different from the past, but its strength was at least two levels higher. The life-saving formation in the World-Purifying Book saved my life. If I hadn’t been careless, I wouldn’t have been defeated, but this situation is probably not an isolated case.
For some reason, those evil spirits are getting stronger, and if we can’t find the right method, we may not even be able to detect the strength of the evil spirits we face, which could lead to massive casualties among the various disciples. ”
Yuan Kang, the Head of the Yuan Clan and the leader of the Nine Great Xuanmen, was thoughtful: “So, we did have a disciple die at the hands of an evil spirit some time ago. At the time, we only thought it was because the disciple was careless.
Now that I think about it, that disciple was not weak and was not a novice who had just gone out to eliminate evil spirits. Their death is indeed suspicious. ”
Yun Que continued to talk about his discovery: “I found a manuscript in the Yun Clan’s collection of books that records a few words from a thousand years ago, mentioning that these evil spirits were few in number at first and suddenly increased dramatically at a certain point in time, similar to the current situation, but the manuscript does not record the specific reason.
The manuscript also mentions that the meteorite fragments will have an impact on the Human Race, the Demon Race, and even other races, but it does not describe it in detail.
The reason I contacted you all is to ask if you could search your own homes for relevant clues or possible exploration directions. Otherwise, if we allow these evil spirits to grow stronger, Cloud City will sooner or later fall. ”
Yuan Kang, as the head of the Xuanmen, readily accepted this mission: “Within ten days, if any family has new discoveries, report them to me immediately. Ten days later, we will communicate again via talismans to summarize and share the intelligence we’ve gathered. ”
After ending the talisman communication, Yuan Kang went to talk to his Demon Race wife. The Demon Race has a much longer lifespan than ordinary humans, so whether it is information from a thousand years ago or even further back, it would be more convenient and faster to exchange information with the Demon Race than to search for his ancestor’s manuscripts at home.
After the communication ended, Yun Que returned to his room and saw Liuli sleeping soundly in the soft cat bed. Although he knew it was wrong to disturb her sleep, he didn’t want to delay expressing his apologies for even a moment.
