Chapter 173 Settling Affairs

To care for Jiang Jiese's self-esteem, Jiang Lu specifically told the group that it was an amulet, rather than explaining to them exactly what it was.

Under the meticulous search of dozens of people, the root cause of Jiang Jiese's troubles was finally found.

It was wedged between two large stones and had fallen into a crevice because it was so well-hidden, it was not found until the third search.

Those two stones were thus named by Jiang Lu the 'European Megaliths.'

During the process of searching for the root cause, Jiang Lu also explained the current situation to the group in simple terms, as he had discussed with Jiang Jiese in the Scales Space.

He seriously told everyone that, in fact, the so-called ascension was a trap.

The reason why all the predecessors of the Hundred Streams Sect who ascended never returned to the Yang world was that those who came to the Netherworld through sacrifice ended up as slaves trapped here.

Slaves have no freedom and naturally cannot return.
