Chapter 715 -715: Origin
Red Mountain Academic Palace, as Li Muyang stepped out of the library under the setting sun, he saw Jiang Yunhe, the ritual officer of the academy, standing outside the doorway.
Seeing Li Muyang emerge, Jiang Yunhe greeted him with a slight smile and a cupped-hand salute: “Mr. Jie Zijiu, my respects to you.”
Within the Red Mountain Academic Palace, everyone is cultured and elegant; although known as the sacred ground for Puppet Masters, it resembles an academy even more.
This ritual officer, Jiang Yunhe, embodied the virtue of propriety to its utmost, exuding the aura of a scholar in every movement, with salutations at every meeting.
Li Muyang, a layman, truly found this set of intricate and formal etiquette somewhat unbearable.
Yet he had no choice but to return the salute and then asked: “Were you waiting for me, ritual officer?”
Jiang Yunhe nodded with a smile: “I was passing by the library and heard that Mr. Jie Zijiu had been in there for a full day; just about to invite you to join me for dinner. Study is good, but one must also be mindful of the natural rhythm.”
“Even as Puppet Masters, unafraid to encounter ordinary evil spirits, once night falls, it’s time to rest and sleep, in order to avoid risks like being possessed by external evil and turning mad into demons.”
Jiang Yunhe’s reminder caused Li Muyang to raise his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Yunhe’s caution, as well as his perusal of materials that day, granted him a clearer understanding of this world.
This group of Puppet Masters actually knew about the transformation into demonic beings during the night.

His assessment of them from the previous night seemed somewhat unfair.
Subsequently, Li Muyang followed Jiang Yunhe to leave, having dinner together—a simple meal. At the table, Li Muyang asked Jiang Yunhe a few questions.
Mainly for clarifying some places he did not understand when reading through books during the day.
And to Li Muyang’s inquiries, Jiang Yunhe answered each one, without holding anything back.
As the sunset faded and night was about to fall, Li Muyang bid farewell to Jiang Yunhe, returning to his courtyard with the Puppet princess of the defunct country.
Li Muyang had spent the entire day immersed in the library, flipping through many books.
His formidable quick-reading ability allowed him to assimilate a vast amount of knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of the bizarre world within the Ancient Resentment Well.
From the clues recorded in those books, it was highly probable that the art of Puppet Manipulation was invented by Little Wild Grass.
However, the power of this abnormal technique originates from bloodlines, not something everyone can cultivate.
And this bloodline is the ancient Evil Vein of Black Cloud Fort…
“Who would have thought that the ancient Evil Vein, which was nearly extinct ten thousand years ago, would proliferate and grow strong within the lands sealed by the Evil Gods?” murmured Li Muyang.
This situation was almost absurd.
Perhaps out of affection for the old, after Jiang Xiaoyu’s death, Little Wild Grass had made great efforts for the continuation of the Black Cloud Fort’s Evil Vein Clan. They developed an exclusive Puppet Manipulation Technique for the Evil Vein Clan to restrain evil spirits.
This Puppet Manipulation Technique is powerful enough to battle unless it encounters an Evil Spirit of True Immortal Level.
And the Evil Vein Clan has been opposing and fighting the Evil Gods since ancient times, succeeding in slaughtering and sealing all of them.
Yet now, in the mortal world where the inheritance of the Evil Vein is nearly extinguished, a great many descendants of the Evil Vein thrive within the Ancient Resentment Well, the very place meant to seal the Evil Gods.
The people here, unknowledgeable in cultivation and spells, rely only on the cultivation of the Puppet Manipulation Technique by the Evil Vein Clan to combat evil spirits.
This ecosystem is quite similar to the dark ages of ancient times.
Back then, there were no cultivators, no spells, evil ruled the land, and people had to rely on the power of the Evil Vein to oppose the Evil Gods.
“Moreover, General Zhong’s case was not an isolated one; there were more than one living person who ran into the Ancient Resentment Well in a frenzy.”
Originally, General Zhong of the Tianyuan Dynasty was contaminated by Evil Spirits, on the brink of insanity and demonic possession, with hundreds of monsters parasitizing his body.
To prevent his insane self from harming the Mortal World, General Zhong hid alone in the Ancient Resentment Well, using the well to seal himself within.
Li Muyang and Liu Li Fairy Chu Qingxue ventured deep into the Ancient Resentment Well, after a strenuous search of over twenty days, they found the old general, but ultimately failed to save him, merely bringing some information about the conditions inside the well to the outside world.
That “Evil God Investigation Report” later became an important reference document for the south to counter the invasion of Evil Gods.
——But this was just the perspective of the Mortal World.
From the perspective of the Ancient Resentment Well, this here was the Mortal World, not the Ancient Resentment Well which sealed the Evil Gods.
In the annals of Red Mountain Academic Palace’s library, it was noted that ten thousand years ago, a disaster swept the world, transforming it into this horrific state overrun by Evil Spirits and frequent monsters.
In this chaotic and dangerous world, there would often descend delirious Heavenly Demons from other territories, bringing with them their Evil Spirits and monsters to people’s sides, and along with them, danger and catastrophe.
The living people of the Ancient Resentment Well couldn’t leave for the Mortal World.
Li Muyang had tried the method taught by General Zhong to return to the Mortal World, at the moment twilight and night intertwine, returning from the water to the Mortal World.
However, this method didn’t work on the young Nightwalker Jie Zijiu.
This Nightwalker, born and grown in the Ancient Resentment Well, couldn’t use this method to leave it.
Now standing in the courtyard arranged for him by Red Mountain Academic Palace, watching the valley quiet down under the night sky, Li Muyang squinted his eyes and pondered.
Jiang Yunhe, the libationer, had cordially invited him to join the Red Mountain Academic Palace, where Li Muyang could learn various techniques and knowledge of the Puppet Master under the identity of a student.
In Jiang Yunhe’s eyes, Li Muyang had merely stumbled upon and was lucky to learn the rudiments of junior Puppet Manipulation Technique; moreover, he lacked proper mentorship. Without guidance, the road ahead would be difficult.
But Li Muyang did not plan to linger here for long.
His original system task was to kill the haunting specters; that was the main mission of the system.
Coming to Red Leaf Valley was merely to investigate the origins of the Jiang Family.
Now that he had a rough understanding of the situation, Li Muyang did not intend to stay for long.
The ancient texts were quite detailed, but some content was vague — for example, the part about the origin of the Jiang Family was unclear.
However, combining those snippets of text in the books with what he knew about Black Cloud Fort, Li Muyang pieced together a truth.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Evil Gods of the Ancient Resentment Well lost control and broke into the Mortal World, Black Cloud Fort, which suppressed the well, sank into the Ancient Resentment Well and vanished from the Mortal World.
Afterwards, as Evil Gods continued their rampage, more human towns were swallowed into the Ancient Resentment Well.
Years later, when the rampaging Evil Gods were pulled back into the Ancient Resentment Well, Little Wild Grass entered the well and accidentally discovered that the beings from the Mortal World sucked into the well had continued to thrive and multiply.
During this process, Little Wild Grass adopted a little girl.
The girl, originating from the Evil Vein Clan of Black Cloud Fort, was raised by Little Wild Grass.
Little Wild Grass taught her the Puppet Manipulation Technique, and after Little Wild Grass’s death, the girl proclaimed herself to be the daughter of Jiang Xiaoyu, wandering in the Ancient Resentment Well, searching for and rescuing many of the scattered bloodlines of Black Cloud Fort in the wilderness, and imparting the Puppet Manipulation Technique.
And this girl, who spread and greatly developed the Puppet Manipulation Technique, is the true progenitor of the Jiang Family.
