Chapter 255 Essence Soul! (1)

“What clues do you have, Prime Minister Pei?”

“It has nothing to do with the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect. Are you sure?”

“I’m sure! It has only been about 80 years since the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect descended on Earth Star, and similar cases of self-combustion have already happened more than 1,000 years ago!”

“What?”

“More than a thousand years ago? Prime Minister Pei, where did you find the relevant information? Can you confirm it? If it’s fake, it can’t be evidence.”

“Everyone, keep quiet first. Let Prime Minister Pei speak first.”

More than 10 voices sounded without end.

In the end, one person stopped them, signaling Prime Minister Pei to continue.

“More than a thousand years ago, in the southern part of the Western Continent, there was a dynasty called Divine Wind. This dynasty had been established for more than 800 years, and its territory was twice the size of the Yu Nation. There were many experts and powerhouses in the country. Although the population couldn’t be compared to the current one, at that time, the Divine Wind Nation was one of the three hegemons of the Western Continent.

“However, in the year 876 of the Divine Wind Calendar, a strange self-combustion case first took place in a small city. Slowly, the cases spread to a prefecture, three prefectures, half the nation. Finally, in all the major cities of the Divine Wind Nation, there were people who strangely self-combusted.

“The cause of self-combustion was different from what we are experiencing this time. It was not overly intense emotions, but fear!

“Hold on, let me interrupt for a moment. In our self-combustion cases, there were also people who were too scared and ended up burning to death.”

“I know.” Prime Minister Pei’s voice continued. “The cause of our self-combustion this time is intense fluctuations of emotions, including everything. Fear, anger, sorrow, excitement, and so on will all cause self-combustion.

“However, the strange self-combustion in the Divine Wind Nation was different. According to the records of other dynasties in later generations, the citizens of the Divine Wind Nation had self-combusted due to fear. The more fearful they were, the stronger the flames, and the faster they burned.

“As a result, as more people died due to self-combustion, the more fearful others became. And the more fearful they were, the more they would strangely self-combust and eventually burn into ashes.

“Be it martial artists or ordinary humans, as long as they feel fear, they will fall for it. There was no exception.

“It’s different for us this time. Ordinary people and low-level martial artists are unable to resist, but those in the top ranks who have condensed Martial Art True Intent need not fear!”

Hmm?

Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Martial artists in the top ranks need not fear?

Because of Martial Art True Intent? Martial Art True Intent can resist the invasion of the source of the strange self-combustion?

“Prime Minister Pei, are you saying that Martial Art True Intent can make one immune to self-combustion?” asked someone in good time on the video call.

“To be precise, Martial Art True Intent can sense danger. After Martial Art True Intent is activated, it can block the invasion of the invisible danger,” Prime Minister Pei replied in a low voice. “This sort of blocking depends on Martial Art True Intent and our consciousness. The stronger the mind of a martial artist in the top ranks, the easier it will be to block.”

“In fact, according to our predictions, martial artists in the top ranks with powerful soul power can activate their Martial Art True Intent and possibly find the source of self-combustion!”

“So, we are different from the Divine Wind Nation?” someone asked. “That’s right. The strange self-combustions that the Divine Wind Nation encountered were impossible to resist, and the mental and soul power of a first-grade expert was useless. No matter where they went, they would ultimately self-combust as fear intensified. The massive Divine Wind Nation that had existed for more than 800 years was eventually destroyed.

“We are different. Martial artists in the top ranks can sense danger through their soul power and Martial Art True Intent. As long as we are fast and find the source of the self-combustion before it spreads across the country, we can stop this catastrophe!” Catastrophe, this was directly categorized as a catastrophe. The Divine Wind Nation from more than a thousand years ago perished due to strange self-combustions.

Now that a similar situation had appeared in the Yu Nation, if they couldn’t deal with the source, they probably wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of perishing as a nation as well.

When Su Jingxing heard this, although he was mentally prepared, he still fell into a daze.

Perish?

At the very end, the self-combustion could lead to the destruction of the Yu Nation?

This was not what Su Jingxing wanted.

With the Yu Nation destroyed and all its citizens self-combusting and dying, Su Jingxing wouldn’t be able to escape either!

Prime Minister Pei had said that the Divine Wind Nation was completely wiped out in the end.

No matter where one went, it was unavoidable.

Such a disastrous way of destroying a nation was simply inconceivable.

Su Jingxing knew that martial artists in the top ranks could sense danger.

After all, the stronger one’s soul power, the stronger their sense of danger would be compared to those in the lower and middle ranks.

But it was unknown if Martial Art True Intent could resist the danger.

Su Jingxing had sensed danger before, but he avoided it before it reached him.

This made Su Jingxing have to wait slowly even if he wanted to try.

“So, what you mean is to mobilize all the martial artists in the top ranks of the nation to head to the four prefectures to sense for the source of the danger?” A voice sounded.

“That’s right!”

Prime Minister Pei continued. “Fewer people can be sent to Changyang, Baiyin, and Dashun and more to Qianyan. I suspect that the source of the danger is still in the Qianyan Prefecture.”

“Where it first started?”

“What proof do you have? If the source is still in Qianyan, then the other three prefectures should be seeing fewer self-combustion cases. But the truth is that Changyang, Baiyin, and Dashun have more people self-combusting!”

“There are more, but since the very first case of self-combustion was in Qianyan Prefecture, the probability that the source is there is higher.” “Alright, I agree.” “I agree too.”

A wave of people voicing their support took place. Finally, Prime Minister Pei made the decision to confirm the order to send top-ranked experts to the four prefectures.
