"I suppose so."
"What is Dark Iron used for, exactly?"
"He never mentioned it, but I'd guess it's for nothing more than warding off Filthy Qi."
After his conversation with Feng Bei, Zheng Xiu's questions were still not fully answered. Even if it was to ward off Filthy Qi, why would the Great Emperor use this material to build Siege Equipment?
He couldn't be planning to invade the Darkness, could he?
The theory seemed plausible, but it was utterly absurd.
Even the Night Lord of old had been deeply wary of the Darkness, regarding it as he would a venomous snake or a savage beast. Now that Venerable Wei Yang's throne was secure, why would he do something so foolish?
With the next full moon approaching, and not long after Gu Qiutang had witnessed the "Hundred Ghosts March," Zheng Xiu hesitated. He debated whether he should find an excuse to leave the city, meet up with Gu Qiutang, and investigate this "Hundred Ghosts March."
