Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 569

The group left the cave.

Most of them were elites, and they could easily make out with their consciousnesses that there was no clue left in the cave. Of course, why would Wai Chung Yin leave any traces behind if he decided to commit suicide?

Everyone was in a bad mood.

Wai Chung Yin, who bore great hatred towards the Hung Clan that wiped out his bloodline, would undoubtedly have everything well planned.

---

This is his perfect revenge! The group thought to themselves.

“No, it’s not.” Kam Chin Kee broke the silence as they headed back, making the group turn to him subconsciously.

“Wai Chung Yin said that this was not the best time to execute the plan, but he had no choice due to me and Chui Yim’s visit to the city. This means that he feared us, and we are the only solution to this.”

---

Kam Chin Kee was determined, but the entire city was in despair as the number of deaths rose to thirteen, and it hadn’t even been twenty-four hours.

All thirteen deaths were three-chambered talents, and now, Hung Ching Yeung was the only three-chambered victim alive who was still able to walk around freely like a normal human being, if one ignored his scary appearance.

However, only Chui Yim and the other Southern Ping glipheons knew how powerful Hung Ching Yeung was. Hung Ching Yeung was sustaining his life forcefully by exhausting his lifespan and energliph. But this could not last forever; it would only be about a day or so before Hung Ching Yeung could no longer take it and passed on like his fellow cultivators.

---

Great Wisdom City just lost thirteen three-chambered gliphers – the most talented three-chambered state young cultivators. This was no different than killing thirteen future four-chambered elites!

The city was crying in despair for the loss. Sadly, they did not have anyone to blame or put their anger on as the culprit had already left this world before the victims.

Chui Yim sat on the chair frowning. He was in a tense state for the past few days, thinking hard. He had the feeling that he had missed some details but was unable to make it clear, which was extremely painful for him.

Just then, a figure stood in front of him.

“Have you thought of an idea?” It was Hung Ching Yeung.

Chui Yim glared at him. He disliked Hung Ching Yeung ever since he attacked Kam Chin Kee. “Even pee doesn’t come as an when one likes, let alone a matter like this.”

Hung Ching Yeung nodded. “Then you’re useless,” he said and reached for Chui Yim’s neck.

Chui Yim was badly shocked. He tried to dodge, but Hung Ching Yeung moved way faster and more accurately. Hung Ching Yeung’s action shocked everyone present, and even Hung Siu yelled at him. “Are you crazy? Stop what you’re doing!”

“He must think of something or he shall die.” Hung Ching Yeung shook his head.

“Useless son! Are you disobeying your uncle’s words now?” Hung Leung was similarly in great shock.

“Why should I be afraid when I’m about to die?” Hung Ching Yeung asked, tightening his grip. Chui Yim felt that it was getting harder to breathe, struggling as he grabbed Hung Ching Yeung.

“Stop it, I’ve already found the method.” Just then, a clean voice rang out. Hung Ching Yeung turned around subconsciously to see a girl in green with smooth hair flowing down her back. She looked extra confident.

While running, Ping Ching voiced her thoughts. “I walked along the Heavenly Silver Waterfall and asked the waterfall attendants on my way. This waterfall is different from ordinary waterfalls.”

Of course, such a precious spot can’t be compared to ordinary waterfalls! Some Great Wisdom City people couldn’t help but think when they heard Ping Ching.

“What you call a waterfall is actually a pool of stagnant water.”

“Be careful what you say, little kid!” The bad-tempered Hung Kwan shouted.

Ping Ching took a glance at him with her beautiful orbs and continued. “To be specific, it’s an endorheic lake, also known as a terminal water body. Generally speaking, countless streams converge into rivers, and no matter how large or small, they all eventually connect to a greater water body.

“For example, the Wandering Son’s Lake in South Imperial City, Ceremony Mountain of Hidden Vanguard City, Southary’s City River… all of the above are connected to the Mother River in some way or another. Streams flow gently and continuously, this is known as an open water body.

“Even the Mother River has a channel connected to the Eastern Sea.

“But not the Heavenly Silver Waterfall.”

Ping Ching dashed downwards, leading the group down the waterfall.

“The Heavenly Silver Waterfall was originally just a stagnant pool of water, yet it circulates continuously through some strange method. However, it has never received any fresh water inflow.

“This makes sense since the waterfall is no ordinary pool of water, but something formed from the essence of an ancient beast. Since it’s the same water circulating though… that means that there’s no solution if anything happens to it.”

With that, Ping Ching stopped in her tracks. They could hear the thunderous sounds of the waterfall.

A few hours later, they had returned to the lowest point of the waterfall where Wai Chung Yin resided.

“Siu Ching, are you saying that there’s a problem with the bottom of the waterfall?” Ping San Yat was in deep thought.

Ping Ching nodded and pointed to the lake. “I asked the waterfall attendant, who told me that the water of this waterfall is recycled from this lake. It travels back to the peak due to pressure and drops down from the peak once again, repeating again and again.

“It’s best for us to look for clues here.

To Nam Feng clenched his fist tightly as he mumbled to himself. “We overlooked it… He knew that we would leave after failing to find any clues in his residence.”

This instilled fear in the group towards Wai Chung Yin again.

“Let me go take a look,” Hung Siu said and jumped down without hesitation. As a five-chambered cultivator, he was the most powerful cultivator in the group and thus the best choice to conduct dangerous tasks.

Pfft…

A few bubbles could be seen coming from the lake as the group stared at it urgently. At the same time, they received news of another two-chambered glipher passing on.

This was devastating for the Great Wisdom City residents to hear. In the South, heritage was the most important thing, and with all the young cultivators dying, there would not be any young cultivators in the next hundred years, and the city might fall.

Right at this time, a blood fountain formed in front of them.

Boom!!!

The entire bloody lake rose to the sky as a huge stream of water, just like a blood-coloured sword surging to the heavens!

Hung Siu stood on the spot as the body of water surged towards the sky. He stood on the damp lake bottom calmly; what he was doing was using his energliph to get rid of all the water in the lake to make the bottom of the lake accessible!

The group was shocked at and envious of the power of this five-chambered cultivator. However, they knew that it wasn’t the time for them to care about this.

Ping Ching and Chui Yim immediately placed their attention on the bottom of the lake.
