As the Ghost King was too confused and because he really wanted to know about Consort Qi, he did as Ye Jiushang said, trying his best to behave.
Actually, this was the first time he had come into close contact with Ye Jiushang. Although he had been secretly fighting with him all these years, he had never sat down and spoken to him face to face.
He had thought that he knew Ye Jiushang quite well. Only now did he realize that he was wrong.
But the main point today was his mother.
“How much do you know about Mother?”
Ye Jiushang said straightforwardly, “Consort Qi belonged to the Shi Clan. She betrayed her family for a man, so she was banished.”
“The Shi Clan?” The Ghost King had never heard of the Shi Clan, but he did not doubt Ye Jiushang. At this moment, he had an inexplicable trust in this person he had hated for years.
This trust made him feel ridiculous, but he had to accept the truth.
Ye Jiushang did not care what the Ghost King was thinking. He only wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible. “The Shi Clan is a clan of Star Diviners. Many people in the family can light up their Fated Star and become a Star Diviner before they are 18. You can investigate it yourself in the future. I don’t want to waste time and energy teaching you about Star Diviners. Consort Qi lit up her Fated Star at the age of ten and was a rare genius of the Shi Clan. Any family will vigorously nurture geniuses, so you should know what kind of status she had in the Shi Clan.”
“Mother has never said anything about this.”
“She was expelled from the Shi Clan, so how could she mention the past to you? The reason I told you this is to let you know that your mother was not an ordinary person and her cultivation level was not low. A small Cold Palace couldn’t take her life. Furthermore, she was a powerful Star Diviner herself. She could predict her own fortune.”
“Then why did she die in the Cold Palace? The imperial physician said that Mother died of illness.” The Ghost King became agitated. He wanted to tell himself not to trust Ye Jiushang too much, but for some reason, he believed him.
“It’s not difficult to show that a person’s cause of death is an illness. As long as one knows a little about medicine, they can do it. After so many years, you haven’t even found out the cause of Consort Qi’s death. I’m very disappointed in you. In the beginning, I thought you had the ability to avenge Consort Qi, but in the end… I won’t waste my breath. Let me tell you that the cause of Consort Qi’s death was her Life Spirit being forcefully stolen.”
“What do you mean by seizing the Life Spirit?”
“The Life Spirit of a Star Diviner is closely related to the Fated Star. Only with it can one use the Fated Star to cast the Star Diviner.”
“I still don’t understand.”
“If you don’t understand, go and investigate yourself. If you can’t even do this, then you’d best know less. Forget it. I don’t want to waste any more time, so I’ll just tell you. Consort Qi’s soul was taken by the Heavenly Saints Emperor. If I’m not wrong, the Heavenly Saints Emperor exchanged it for an Asura Black Badge from the Asura Hall.”
Initially, he was not very sure about this matter, nor did he even know about it. Until the appearance of the Asura Warriors and the Asura Black Badge that the Heavenly Saint Emperor took out… He linked it with Consort Qi and quickly connected the dots.
It was impossible for the Heavenly Saints Emperor to obtain the Asura Black Badge for no reason. The only thing that could give him a chance to come into contact with the Asura Hall was Consort Qi.
The Asura Hall had long been searching for the Life Spirit of a Star Diviner. In the early years, they had even cruelly assassinated many members of the Shi Clan and forcefully snatched their Life Spirits.
Although Consort Qi had been expelled, she was still a Star Diviner. It would be strange if such a person was not targeted by the Asura Hall.
