Chapter 239 Turing Clan
Li Qiang was shocked. He hadn't recovered from Ye Wanqing's actions just now. He took a deep breath after hearing that cold voice. "You, you actually killed him directly?"
Ye Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. The feather in her hand transformed into a folding fan and gently fanned it. "Didn't you see everything? If you, Luoshan Village, were truly looking for your destined partner, why would you be so afraid of a so-called mayor?"
Generally speaking, if a force really hides its identity to protect a secret treasure or look for a destined person, and even comes to a small border town, it can be said that it has a mission to accomplish, and it has the added power of the Heavenly Dao. How could it fall to this point and be bullied by the mayor of a small town?
Li Qiang's heart choked, "You... me."
In the end, he said nothing, only sighing softly, "Never mind, young master, you'd better leave quickly. Although you have great spiritual power, you can't defeat them no matter what. The Wang family has the support of the Lin family, and in recent years, they have even received considerable support from the head of the Lin family."
Li Qiang originally thought that the girl who saved his mother was really his destined one, but now the person in front of him was a man, so he gave up this hope. After all, the divination results said that the destined one was a woman.
"And now that you've killed Steward Wang, you're slapping the Lin family in the face. Run away now, and leave the rest to me. Xiaoyu, take your uncle's key and lead your brother away through the small path."
Ye Wanqing remained unmoved. "I've already killed him, so what's the point in running away now? Besides, I can kill even Lin Qianxue, let alone a housekeeper from the Wang family."
Li Qiang was shocked. He knew Lin Qianxue. She was the eldest daughter of the current head of the Lin family. The person in front of him was so arrogant. Was he really daydreaming or could he really do it? For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But Grandma Li suddenly half-knelt down and said, "Miss, please save our Luoshan Village and stop the Wang family. I am willing to give you the secret treasure."
"Mom, what are you doing? The secret treasure is left to the right person. The owner of the secret treasure is a woman, and he is not..."
"Alright! Can't you tell by now that he's actually a woman? We've guarded the secret treasure for so many years, but what have we gained? One by one, our clansmen's consciousnesses are fading, their spiritual energy is dissipating. If we don't resolve this, the next one to lose consciousness will be your son!"
Li Po saw it clearly, and she was willing to believe that this was the destined person. Besides, their clan had gained benefits from this secret treasure, but also suffered disadvantages, and the consequences were too many.
Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what his mother meant. Just as he was about to half-kneel down, a spiritual power suddenly lifted him up.
Ye Wanqing's eyes dimmed slightly. "I'm not interested in the secret treasures or the destined people you're talking about. I'm only interested in the Wang family, or perhaps the Lin family behind them. What is it about Luoshan Village that attracts the Lin family?"
Li Qiang and Li Po looked at each other, their expressions filled with sorrow. "Please come with us, young lady. Please take a look."
They met many villagers along the way, and Li Qiang pointed at several villagers to signal Ye Wanqing to look. However, those villagers did not react much. They continued to farm, water, and weave, as if they did not see anyone and just completed their actions in one go.
Li Qiang couldn't help but sob and cry. "They are all our people, but they have lost their consciousness. Every day they only know how to complete the same activities, like machines, without feeling tired or pain."
Ye Wan had discovered this early in the morning. Every day it was the same people, the same actions, the same greetings. It was as if they had been successfully formatted in advance. They had no spiritual consciousness, no mental strength, only tireless labor.
"Girl, to be honest, our clan is actually the Turing clan, which has been extinct for thirty years."
Turing clan?!
Ye Wanqing knew a little about the Turing clan. The Turing clan was the most powerful clan with the most divination skills in the three realms.
But because predicting the future is like peeking into the secrets of heaven, the Turing family has never lived past the age of thirty. But Li Qiang and Li Po in front of them don't look like they are only thirty years old.
Noticing the inquiry and curiosity in Ye Wanqing's eyes, Li Qiang's expression flashed with understanding.
"From the look in your eyes, I can tell you have some understanding of the Turing clan. It's true, our clan members have never lived past the age of thirty. But one day, a rare treasure fell from the sky and landed within our clan's territory."
"The elders of our tribe who practice divination have exhausted all their mental energy to peer into the secrets of heaven. This rare treasure is a 'clan weapon' that benefits our clan, but it is also a 'clan weapon' that is a 'sharp blade'."
"But afterward, the tribe seemed to forget the elder's last divination, believing it only to be about 'benefits.' Indeed, with the addition of the secret treasure, our original defect of not living past the age of thirty was overcome, but gradually..."
Ye Wanqing continued, following Li Qiang's words, "But gradually, your Turing clan used divination to amass vast sums of wealth, growing ever more powerful. You seized upon numerous Heavenly Dao powers, gained insight into countless Heavenly secrets, and altered the predetermined destinies of many."
"So, as punishment from Heaven, your people will gradually lose their consciousness and mental strength, even their spiritual power. As a result, they will tirelessly return to the most primitive life of men farming and women weaving. Wherever your people are, the spiritual power will automatically disappear."
"And because your family is the main line of the Turing clan, you haven't been affected by this, but I suspect it will be soon."
Li Qiang's eyes gradually became moist, and he nodded. "That's right. Every time we arrive at a place, our spiritual power will disappear. But we need spiritual power to nourish our bodies, otherwise we will become like everyone else. So we can only rely on the mayor to give us spiritual power."
"And this secret treasure can indeed circumvent defects, so I guess the Wang family, or the Lin family behind them, must be targeting this secret treasure."
After Li Po took Xiaoyu somewhere else, she came back again. When she saw Ye Wanqing, she knelt down quietly.
"Miss, to minimize the risk, our entire clan came to this small town on the outskirts. That day, an old man came to visit us and told us that if we want to change the current situation, we have to wait for the true owner of the secret treasure. Only the true owner of the secret treasure will not be affected by it. Please save us."
And a spiritual power slowly lifted Li Po up.
At the same time, Ye Wanqing's cold voice rang out, "I think you've made a mistake. I don't think I'm the destined person you two are talking about. Besides, coming to Luoshan Village wasn't my original intention."
"As for saving my life, I've already healed your eyes, Grandma, and given Xiaoyu some herbs that can nourish her body. After that, she no longer needs anyone else's spiritual energy to nourish her, so I think we're even now."
"Unless you give me a reason why I have to help you."
