Chapter 1265: Chapter 348: Cai He and the Past (Part 3)

"All of this was the situation about a year ago. It was then that I left the Sixth State with Qingyi. Now things can only be more dire than when I left, definitely not better. After all, on my journey to the Third State, I saw many cultivators heading towards the Sixth State."

"They were like vultures drawn to the smell of decay."

"Arriving with cruel grins."

As someone from the Sixth State, saying these words, it still tugs at the heart a bit. The Sixth State never had anything to do with prosperity in the first place, but now being embroiled in war is indeed a subject of ridicule.

Yuchi pondered for a moment and said, "That’s correct. I also understand the situation of the Sixth State roughly from the mouths of some higher-ups in the Third State. I heard that some Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Third State have gone there to maintain control. Why? Did they just say it but not do so?"

These words were previously heard from Wang Haoran, and Yuchi felt there was no need for Wang Haoran to deceive him. But judging from Cai He’s words now, it seems other states are turning a blind eye to this situation.

This is strange indeed.

Cai He shook her head and said seriously, "The Third State indeed has Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who have gone there. When I passed the pass, I noticed Nascent Soul Stage cultivators stationed there, and we spoke with them. They indeed want to control uninvolved people from entering the Sixth State."

"But the effect is minimal."

"After all, those who can cause chaos in the Sixth State are not the Nascent Soul minor cultivators who need to go through the pass. They are at least at the Divinity Transformation or Enlightenment Stage."

"So even though some Nascent Soul Stage cultivators came, they can suppress many powerless people who want to meddle in the Third State."

"But for those truly malicious high figures, they can easily bypass the pass."

"These figures can simply cross through other sections of the Black Mountain Range, where the monsters seem like toothless guard dogs to them."

Wang Haoran’s idea is to have masters block the national gate and let the people within destroy themselves. Then, when everything is almost extinct, and the nation is exhausted, the war will naturally end, as everyone is dead, so the war tied to them will disappear.

But this idea is still too bureaucratic.

The enemy can easily bypass the national gate. It’s like a certain famous defensive line from a past life, built over twelve years, which can only block fools. Anyone with some capability and intelligence can completely bypass such a line, with this line acting as the pass between states in the Nine States.

The pass is a trade route, not a strategic military point.

"Ah, I see." Yuchi tapped his skull with his finger.

From this perspective, it aligns with his previous judgments. At least the fact that war has erupted proves that the surrounding environment is quite harsh.

This matter is like two families using weapons in a brawl; it seems like an issue between two families on the surface, but actually, it’s the entire town’s affair. If other families in the town with some influence and capability took a stand, they wouldn’t allow such incidents to escalate. So when such dangerous situations arise,

it’s never accidental.

War has no coincidences; everything is a carefully calculated and malicious plot.

Once war ignites and trying to extinguish it? Many people do not wish for the war to end as war profits are the foundation of many nations’ livelihoods.

"So is this child the offspring of some important figure? Otherwise, if it’s just an ordinary child, how could she escape from the Sixth State all the way to the Third State?" Yuchi continued curiously, "I have a disciple from the Fourth State, and when escaping to here from the Fourth State, not only were all her companions wiped out, but she herself was nearly slain by river pirates. Not to mention making a direct escape from the Sixth State to the Third State, such difficulty is not ordinary."

Cai He understood what Yuchi meant, and standing in front of him, said earnestly, "This child is a princess of a national capital in the Sixth State. ’Princess’ sounds impressive, but it’s of the Sixth State. The same national capital in the Third State is just the size of Medicine Pill City."

"So under normal circumstances, she would surely perish in that war."

"But she had a guardian sister named Qin Xiu. This guardian sister saved her, then contacted me. I’m an old acquaintance of Qin Xiu; she once helped me, so I escorted her from the Sixth State to the Third State. The power of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is somewhat limited, but as long as you’re not offending others, you can still cross through."

Cai He had no intention of pulling Yuchi into a lengthy reminiscence; she didn’t want to delay his time too much.

Yuchi understood.

It turns out Cai He is indeed a person of emotion and justice. I wonder what kind of assistance this was that could prompt a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to personally take action?

And speaking of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, one has to mention a certain Yuan Xuan—a little helpless one. Though all are Nascent Soul Stage, personalities may differ, yet their attitude towards those around them should be similar.
