Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

“No,” the Lion said.
“My uncle was strong.
There is no one in this realm that could’ve silently killed him if he decided to ever put on a fight.
Which was why the other leaders concluded that he went through Qi Deviation.”I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

“It’s completely unbelievable given the circumstances, but there isn’t a better explanation at all,” the Lion said.

All three of them fell into thoughts trying to connect the two events, but it was difficult.

“What are the chances that Pearl and his mother were the main target?” Alex asked.
“Is it plausible to think they were just collateral damage?”

“That could be possible if what you said about the Azure Dragon is true,” the Lion said.
“But… given that my Uncle and Aunt were attacked as well, it is doubtful there wasn’t any direct connection there.”

Alex nodded.
“About the Azure Dragon’s death, will you be telling the other beast leaders now?” he asked.

The lion fell silent for a bit.
“I don’t think I have to,” he said.
“They might already know about it.”

Alex’s eyes widened.
“You think they know?” he asked.

“That is what I would do if I knew our ruler was missing too,” he said.
“I would close all borders and wait for the next ruler to come.
That is most likely what the other 6 planned.
I only joined late and was kept out of it.”

“That is possible,” Alex said.

“Uncle,” Pearl spoke up.
“How did my grandparents die?”

The Lion shook his head.
“As I just told you, I don’t know.
The circumstances surrounding their dea—”

“I’m not asking you how they died exactly,” Pearl said.
“I’m asking if you knew the exact cause of death.
If their corpse was here, did you check to see what killed them?”

The Lion shook his head.
“I… I don’t know,” he said.
“The… the other Leaders came after they heard the news and helped with their funeral.
I never even got the time to think of checking to see how they died.”

Alex frowned.
“Were they buried or cremated?” he asked.

“Cremated,” the Lion said.

“Is that normal around here?” he asked.

“Cremation? Yes.
The dead beasts are cremated all the time,” the Lion said.

Alex frowned.
“Tsk.
Their bodies would’ve most likely not rot this fast given their cultivation base.
I could’ve checked to see if their meridians were destroyed or if Qi had wrecked havoc in their body to cause Qi deviation.”

“I’m… I’m sorry, I never thought to do that,” the Lion said.
“I should’ve done that.”

“Do you think the other Leaders were trying to hide something?” Pearl asked.

“Who knows?” Alex said.
“As it is right now, everything we know is just a conspiracy theory.
Until something gets proven to be true, everything is possible.”

Alex frowned on his own after saying what he did.
He had come to the Eastern Continent with two mission. 

First, he was going to find Pearl’s mother’s murderers and bring her to justice.

Seocnd, he was going to find sister Hannah and bring her back to his family.

3 years had passed since he came and he had made barely any progress on either mission of his.
At this rate, he would get nowhere.

‘Should I actually try and make a deal with the Dragon Emperor for answers the next time we trade stuff?’ he couldn’t help but think.

He decided not to be so rash for now.
He had lost Bai Jingshen’s protection, so his life wasn’t as safe as it was previously.
He had to tread carefully henceforth.
