Chapter 765: Chapter 763: The Curse of Shattering (22)_1 Chapter 765: Chapter 763: The Curse of Shattering (22)_1 Savage!
Regarding the nature of the cursed swordsmanship of the Kamakura Family, Fu Qian did not doubt that it came from some higher power.
After all, a quite simple fact lay before him —- the middle-tier Kamakura Guizhi was able to inflict injury on a demigod from the Void.
As someone involved, from Fu Qian’s point of view, Ah Kai’s description of that thing was still conservative.
Even when dealing with some fellows that made one lose sanity, it was no more than that.
And it seemed that Cass had the same judgement.
Ni Huayuan’s analysis and subsequent action plan seemed somewhat reasonable, but they were overly confident.
Everyone has their limits, and Ni Huayuan’s eagerness to explain everything within his own understanding was such that he had to concoct a hidden mastermind with unclear motives, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, to make the whole thing seem reasonable.
But in fact, after a round of searching, the team obviously came up empty-handed.
In this situation, by eliminating this burdensome element, one could easily arrive at a simpler logic —- the power comes from above, and the problem lies with the Kamakura Family itself.
What needed to be found was exactly what went wrong with the Kamakura Family.
What changes had occurred to them compared to before.
“Help Master Kamakura deal with it.”
At this moment, the crystal in the pool had nearly separated into sand, looking like a flowing galaxy at a glance, with silence all around.
The results of Kamakura Si’s intervention not only shocked everyone, but even he himself was frightened, now sitting there in a daze.
Cass looked on expressionlessly, ordering Ah Kai and the others to help Kamakura Si with some treatment.
“What does Mr. Yun think?”
The next moment, he naturally sought Fu Qian’s opinion.
“Higher power, and the effect seems a bit too good.”
Fu Qian nodded.
The reason he had suggested Kamakura Si step forward was mainly for two purposes.
One was to verify the level of power, to see if this higher force could have the same effect on the notoriously difficult Crystal Pool, therefore corroborating his speculation.
Cass obviously realized this, which is why he so decisively supported the idea when others didn’t understand.
As the only two demi-gods present, they obviously had a more profound understanding of power levels.
The fact had now proven that the effect was indeed exaggeratedly good.
However, apart from that, Fu Qian had another purpose, which was to take another look at the cursed sword of the Kamakura Family.
After hypothesizing that the problem still lay with the Kamakura Family itself, the next step was to clarify the reason.
Previously, having Kamakura Guizhi take action was one observation, but as everyone knows, rigorous deduction requires a control group.
Considering that the Kamakura Family was now all following a stable route, Kamakura Si had no choice but to make some sacrifices for his family.
Cass did not oppose this, clearly also recognizing that it was Kamakura Si’s responsibility.
As an instructor of Heaven’s Commencement Institute, Fu Qian showed considerable tacit understanding with the leadership.
“This thing is a bit special.”
At this moment, facing Fu Qian’s comments, Cass appeared to strongly agree.
He was clear about what Fu Qian meant; the Kamakura Family’s cursed swordsmanship tearing the Crystal Pool was one thing, but shredding it to dust was quite another.
Just now, Kamakura Si had clearly withdrawn, yet the cracks on the crystal showed no signs of stopping until it shattered into dust.
Even to the point where the whole pool seemed to become transparent again, as if it were truly liquid.
It was really too targeted.
Considering that this thing was located under the ruins guarded by the Kamakura Family, one couldn’t help but speculate.
“I admit it’s quite miraculous, but what have we gained from it?”
The two demigods were analyzing and commenting on the side. Although their discussion seemed off base, the entourage couldn’t help but listen in breathless silence.
However, Ni Huayuan was somewhat reluctant to accept this atmosphere where he lost control over the situation.
“Now we’ve got an injured Kamakura Family head and a strange presence that has quieted down.”
He glanced over at Kamakura Si, who was receiving treatment.
Compared to Kamakura Guizhi, his condition was obviously less severe, and Ah Kai was using an unheard-of method to make his injured arm lose all color.
“So should we take some samples and continue with our previous actions?”
“Ah Kai can take some samples, and you can continue the chase.”
However, faced with Ni Huayuan’s rather impolite pressing question, Cass only gave him a glance with an expressionless face.
His words seemed amiable but outright negated Ni’s plan, implying that if Ni wanted to pursue, he should do it on his own.
Ni Huayuan never expected Cass to be so discourteous and was momentarily dumbfounded.
He looked around subconsciously, but both the Kamakura Family and the Academy crowd avoided his gaze.
Given that the previous action was fruitless, the group clearly doubted the feasibility of his plan, beginning to trust in the authority of the demigods once again.
By then, Cass had even lost the interest in looking at him.
“So was it originally because of the nameless Deity that this thing settled here?”
Despite his lack of faith in the ancient Divine Beings, Cass still tried to make sense of the current situation.
“So the gift received by the Kamakura Family was especially sensitive to this thing? Like the so-called divine driving out the evil?”
“A reasonable idea, but the era is too distant, and there is little evidence to corroborate the theory,” Fu Qian commented, showing a measure of agreement, yet his gaze fixated on Ah Kai.
This person had helped Kamakura Si stabilize, and had immediately picked up the glove that was thrown away.
All the while, the Crystal Pool showed no reaction to his actions, giving off a completely inert feeling.
“Also, that hand just now, didn’t you find it somewhat familiar?”
Familiar?
Since the scene had been so jarring, the group hadn’t paid attention to such details, and they were confused upon hearing Fu Qian’s remark.
“The one behind the wall?”
It was Ji Liushuang next to him, who hesitated slightly before tentatively asking.
The mutated creature?
With her reminder, the crowd quickly recalled that bizarre lump.
“It does indeed look a bit alike… But what does that imply?”
“Hard to say. If we were to speculate irresponsibly, first, it’s basically ruled out that this thing is the nameless Deity in a changed form, as it’s unlikely, even in madness, that He would kill Himself.”
Who doesn’t know that…
While the group muttered among themselves, Fu Qian continued.
“Considering the principle of consistency in appearance, excluding the Deity itself, the only ones with that sort of figure seem to be the followers.”
“You’re not suggesting that the thing in the pool transformed from the followers, are you?” Jian Jingzheng asked with an odd expression.
“This place appears to be a reservoir, and I’m thinking it might have stored something else.”
Fu Qian pointed at Kamakura Si.
“Is it possible that the Kamakura Family’s condition also occurred in some of the followers?”
