I Can Extract Everything

The Memory Moon Stone is not particularly rare since many other treasures have similar uses. Still, it is hardly known by everyone, and only a few knowledgeable people usually know it.

"Since it can record memories, why is it that all I see is a moving a point of light. Is it because it's too old and damaged? Or is it just Grand Spirit Nine that made it like that?"

"Let's see..."

Qin Yi tried to lift the token again towards the moonlight.

As expected, a point of light appeared in his mind, and it gave him direction.

"South- Eh? It just moved a little...."

As expected, this token was too old and damaged. If not, then another explanation would be that the location of the inheritance is within the sect.

But how is that possible?

This coincident is too good to be true.

Qin Yi tried it over and over again, but the result was still the same.

"Should I assume that the location of this inheritance is within the sect? But where exactly?"

It seems like the only choice left to him was to explore this sect.

However, with his current identity, he could only explore the outer sects...

Never mind, let's think about it later.

He hasn't had a proper rest for days due to the mission. If he had not consumed water containing some power from PowerBox, he would have already collapsed for sure.

Now it's time for him to rest.

***

The next day at the unnamed mountain.

"What's going on? Was the Guardian Temple failed to save this mountain?"

When Qin Yi set foot in Green Willow Village, all he could see was silence along with the dead bodies of the villagers lying all over the places in the village.

This tragic scene also happened in other villages.

The villagers' bodies dried up entirely as if their blood had been swallowed by something, leaving only bones and unscathed skin.

The formation surrounding this mountain disappeared, not broken. This meant that last night's blood ritual had succeeded without a fight, and the Crimson Blood Sect had already canceled it.

Doesn't that mean the Guardian Temple didn't come here last night?

Qin Yi frowned deeply as he pondered why the Guardian Temple didn't come last night?

"Could it be that the Guardian Temple came here, but the enemy was too strong for them to face, and as a result, they were unable to destroy the Blood Unity Formation and save the mountain?"

But the problem was that he couldn't find any traces of battle either inside or outside this mountain.

It's like they didn't come here in the first place.

Qin Yi looked up at the sky and sighed, "It seems like I've been deceived..."

"But why did Deputy Han deceive me? Was it because he didn't trust me or… was he related to the Crimson Blood Sect?"

However, the only possibility Qin Yi could think of at the moment was the latter. After all, he had already proven his existence through Li Hai's personal token. So there is no reason for Deputy Han not to believe his words.

If Deputy Han was indeed related to the Crimson Blood Sect, Qin Yi wonders what Li Hai would think of this?

Wait, does Li Hai's absence have anything to do with this?

If that's the case, this whole situation may not be a simple matter.

He suddenly thought of Wu Kun.

If Qin Yi's assumption was correct, Wu Kun's fate might be more unfortunate than fortunate.

However, Qin Yi couldn't save Wu Kun since he didn't know what the current situation of that fellow was.

He might be dead by now.

It might sound heartless, but he was utterly powerless in this situation. Not to mention he doesn't know what Deputy Han is actually planning.

It seems all he can do now is wait until Li Hai returns.

The other problem here is, how is he supposed to explain this matter to the children in the Mystical Garden?

Thinking about this, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a headache.

Should he tell Mu Chen and the others the truth?

Would it be too hard for them to handle?

After pondering it for a while, Qin Yi decided to tell them but not all of them.

Qin Yi collects the dead bodies of the villagers to the central village. After doing so, he let Mu Chen and Mu Tao out of the Mystical Garden.

"Grandpa Tree, they are?"

Mu Chen was the first to come out and was immediately presented with the sight of dead bodies neatly arranged on the ground.

"That's... mama?"

Although the villager's body dried up, Mu Tao, who had just come out of the Mystical Garden, could instantly recognize her mother's body lying on the ground.

Mu Tao immediately ran to her mother's corpse and tried to wake her up over and over again but to no avail.

"Grandpa, who did this to the vilaggers? Another village? Or the Wild Beast?" Mu Tao angrily asked while her face was covered with tears.n

Mu Chen also wanted to ask that. He was too shocked after learning that these corpses belonged to the villagers, especially when he saw the corpse of his parents.

Qin Yi had no intention of covering up this incident since he let them personally see this scene, so he told them everything except a few confidential details.

As expected, no matter how strong their mentality are, they are still children after all. Hearing such cruel truth from Qin Yi's mouth, they felt that it was an unbelievable story.

"Impossible, how could papa do that to us?"

Mo Tao hugged his head as she refused to believe what she had just heard about her papa.

"So that's mean everything about rituals, chosen ones, temples, and worshiping Grandpa Tree is all a lie? And we are actually only food for those bad guys?"

Mu Chen gripped his fist as the angry swelling inside his heart.

He thought that he was chosen to go to the temple to worship Grandpa Tree, but the truth is that he was meant to be sacrificed there.

Now, although he managed to escape the tragedy, another tragedy happened to everyone on this mountain.

How could he's not angry about this?

"First of all, let's bury their bodies first, it's not good to be left open for too long!" Qin Yi suddenly spoke.

After that, Qin Yi dug a big hole using Earth Moving Technique and buried the corpses of the villagers here en masse.

Mu Chen and Mu Tao, who witnessed this, couldn't help but burst into tears once again.

Qin Yi pats their heads and asks, "So, what are you going to do next? Would you like to come with grandpa?"

Mu Chen wipes his tears and asks, "Grandpa, can we continue to stay here?"

"You may, but not for the moment. We don't know when those bad guys will come back here once they learn that there are still survivors in this village." Qin Yi explained patiently.

"Grandpa Tree... what happened to my papa?" Mu Tao reluctantly asked.

Apparently, this girl still hasn't realized that Qin Yi is the fake Grandpa Tree.

"Your papa is probably fine since grandpa didn't find his body in this mountain." Qin Yi replied.

He was also unsure of the fate of Mu Yan and Mu Fengshui. They probably ended badly since one of them betrayed the sect.

Still, it's better not to tell her about her father's actual situation.

Not for now, at least.

Qin Yi looked at Mu Chen like he was anticipating his answer.

"If— if we stay with grandpa, won't those bad guys come to grandpa?" Mu Chen asked worriedly.

"Grandpa, you have helped us too much. Therefore, I don't want to keep grandpa in a dangerous situation because of us."

Qin Yi smiled under his hood and said, "They won't be able to find grandpa even if they try. Therefore, you can rest assured that grandpa would be in danger."

So far, the only person who could find Qin Yi was Li Hai because he was the only person who knew Qin Yi's true identity.

Other people only know that Qin Yi is a mysterious man in a black cloak.

Meanwhile, there are many people in this world who have the habit of wearing the black cloak.

Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, as long as he does not intentionally reveal himself to the enemy, he will be safe.

When all was said and done, Mu Chen and Mu Tao represented the other children to follow Qin Yi for the time being.

Qin Yi naturally didn't mind it since he was the one who offered it in the first place.

After mourning in the village for a long time, both Mu Chen and Mu Tao finally return to the Mystical Garden.

However, they seem to have no intention to tell about the village to other children yet.

As for Qin Yi, he jumped into Ancient Dragon City using Void Jump.

However, when he was walking around the city, he accidentally saw a black-cloaked man surrounded by three guards from the Guardian Temple.

"What's the meaning of this? I haven't done anything that violated the city's rules, but why are you trying to arrest me? Aren't you are too much?"
