The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Looks Familiar

So, since the Ning Clan is also a Divine Clan, then how could such a powerful clan be erased like this? And... erased so thoroughly? At least, she had never heard of the Ning Clan, including Su Yu beside her, who once threw her a history book of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, she had read it carefully too, and it mentioned not a single word about the Ning Clan.

And even in the Xia Clan, she was also allowed to read a brief history of the Xia Clan, yet there was still no mention of the Ning Clan.

So... Han Jing was indeed very... very surprised and incredulous.

Ning Shiqi still did not speak, and Lianwu replied to her with four words: "Because too powerful."

The Ning Clan’s extermination and even their erasure from existence, to the point where no trace or hint of them remains in the world, wasn’t for any other reason, but because the Ning Clan was too powerful.

Their strength wasn’t in the might of their bloodline or the extraordinary cultivation, but in their wisdom. The Ning Clan, with unparalleled intelligence, mastered medicine and poison, arrays, and the five elements. The things they created were enough to destroy an era.

Because they were too strong, they could not be tolerated.

As for why Lianwu knew these things, he himself didn’t quite remember, probably because he had lived too long.

Ning Shiqi stared at Lianwu for a moment, and softly said: "I’ve heard that when the Ghost King cultivates into a human form, the appearance is as it was during life."

Ning Shiqi’s words left everyone a bit dumbfounded, and Lianwu was also somewhat surprised: "So what?"

What he looked like in life... Who would remember that as a ghost! He’s been a ghost for thousands of years, who the hell remembers their looks from life? Ghost spirits’ cultivation isn’t like humans, it’s even slower than other spirit types. Initially, they could only rely on devouring other ghost spirits to strengthen themselves, and even before they gained wisdom, through constant devouring, they damn well forgot who they originally were. So... the silly memories of before and after life are all forgotten!

Ning Shiqi shook his head: "Just seemed familiar."

Han Jing widened her eyes, pointing at Lianwu and asking Ning Shiqi: "Could it be, he’s also from your Ning Clan?"

Otherwise, how did Lianwu guess that Ning Shiqi was a descendant of the Ning Clan as soon as he spoke?

Lianwu sneered: "Heh, which eye do you see me as a human?"

Su Yu, quietly beside them, added: "Ghost spirits may not remember matters from their life, but memory is instinctual. Some things, only if you’ve experienced them, will you know."

"Hmph, when the Ning Clan was erased, all the clan members underwent the grey-out punishment, not even qualified to become ghosts." Lianwu retorted with great dissatisfaction.

This group of people is absolutely boring, did they forget what they came for?

Han Jing blinked: "You really do know."

Lianwu...

A bunch of nuisances!

Ning Shiqi chuckled lightly: "Whether or not it matters, the Ning Clan no longer exists in this world."

He chuckled lightly, but the smile on his face carried a trace of loneliness, and his eyes were vacant. In fact, there was nothing much to feel sentimental about; so much time had passed, everything had gone with the wind. But ultimately, as the last survivor of the Ning Clan, he was inevitably still lonely.

This loneliness is rooted in the soul.
