Chapter 31: Estrangement

"In addition, spirit worms can't restore the clansmen to their original bloodlines, but they can make the clansmen not be disturbed by the demonic blood when cultivating. The old patriarch said.

"Although the effect is much worse than expected, I still see hope for the rise of my people here. Even if they don't have a bloodline advantage, the physique of the clansmen is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the height they can reach is definitely not only the Tianchong level or the true martial level, most of the clansmen are at this level, because they have been disturbed by the demon blood and delayed the best cultivation age. ”

"After all, the clansmen who can restore the bloodline of the Spirit Race with the help of holy relics are only a few people in each generation. In the following ten years, our clan cultivated a large number of Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly larvae, and almost all of the younger generation signed contracts with spirit worms. ”

"And Han Jueqi has also successfully broken through the bottleneck in the past ten years, entered the domain void level, and took over the position of the patriarch, and it seems that our clan will soon be able to return to the strength of the year. ”

"And at that time, the urgent military situation came from the southern border, and the demon clan that had been expelled from the territory of Cangyun Country had made a comeback again for some reason, and had already entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Yunwu Ancient City. ”

"After receiving the news, Hao Chijie, the previous city lord of Yunwu Ancient City, immediately contacted our clan to discuss the matter of sending troops. In the end, it was decided that with Han Jueqi and Hao Chijie as the leaders, he would lead ten Nirvana-level powerhouses and eighteen Lingqiong-level masters on both sides to help. ”

"That battle ended quickly, and it only took three months to kill most of the demons who were going to commit crimes, and the rest were also driven out of the Heavenly Dome Continent. But our clan suffered heavy casualties in this battle, the patriarch Han Jueqi was seriously injured, only two of the five Nirvana level remained, and four of the nine Ling Qiong level were left. ”

"After returning to the Han Peerless Clan, he died in less than a year because of his injuries, and this is also the only domain void-level powerhouse on our side who died in that battle. The old patriarch said sadly.

"And Han Jueqi was seriously injured, he was invited by Hao Chijie to ambush a demon detachment, but on the way to the destination, he was attacked by the demon kings, and paid a heavy price when he broke through. ”

"This area of the ancient city of Yunwu has always been under the jurisdiction of my Han clan since the establishment of the Cangyun Kingdom, until the war a hundred years ago, our clan gradually declined, and the ancient city of Yunwu was handed over to the Hao family. ”

"And just when my clan began to rise, something like this happened, even if it was an accident, what do you think the people would think?" asked the old patriarch.

"They will think that this is a conspiracy that the Hao family is unwilling to hand over the position of city lord. Lin Tianying said.

"That's right, and there are quite a few people who think so. ”

"Then the Hao family should come forward to explain!"

Yes, but as Hao Chijie expected, in the face of the final result, all languages will seem pale and weak, and no matter how much they speak, they can't eliminate that invisible barrier. The old patriarch sighed.

"Hao Chijie will come to your father's court, not only because your father is his student, but also because he wants to ease the relationship between our two families and eliminate that barrier. ”

"However, on the day your parents got married, your grandfather stole the sacred relics in the clan, and the barrier that could have sensed the location of the relics was also after your father fought with him, and he happened to lose the ability to perceive the holy relics, and he could no longer find your grandfather's hiding place. ”

"At that time, most of the clansmen thought that the enchantment was out of order, and it was your father who did something in secret, and even suspected that it was the Hao family's secret instructions, and it was useless to explain it no matter how your father explained. It's all so coincidental, so suspicious that any explanation pales in the face of that ambush, and that's the real reason why the people don't want to see your father. ”

"This is also the reason why our clan does not allow outsiders to interfere, and after you were born, you need Elder Han Yin to treat you, and Elder Han Yin was one of the few clansmen who could find the holy relics at that time, if you want to heal you for a long time, it will definitely delay a lot of time to find the holy relics, which makes the clan even more dissatisfied, coupled with the grievances between Elder Han Yin and your father, there are those harsh requirements back then. ”

Lin Tianying was shocked, he never thought that this would be the case back then, and after being silent for a long time, he asked again, "Then why did my grandfather steal the holy relics?"

"Because he wants to accomplish something that Han Jue has not had time to accomplish. After returning to the clan of Han Jueqi, he devoted himself to the cultivation of the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly, and finally cultivated a batch of spirit insects that could restore the bloodline of the clan, but this kind of spirit worm needs to be raised with the blood of the strongest in the clan, which is not perfect. The old patriarch said.

"Han Jueqi passed away shortly after cultivating this spirit worm, and before he died, he built his whole body of essence blood and Yuan spiritual power into a secret place, which is also the place where the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly lives today, and only the larvae born there can help the clan recover their bloodline. ”

"And your grandfather has been researching how to improve the cultivation method of spirit worms since the death of Han Jueqi, and finally he believes that only by integrating the sacred relics in the clan into the new Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly can the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly be completely transformed, and forever solve the bloodline problem that has plagued the clan for hundreds of years. ”

"It's just that it took him several years to integrate the holy relics into the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly, neither the larvae nor the blood butterflies could withstand the huge energy in the holy relics, and they all exploded at the moment of merging into the holy relics, sacrificing many spirit insects in vain. ”

"After consulting with the other elders, I decided to let him give up and not continue the experiment, after all, every spirit worm is fed and raised with the blood of the strong, and it is not easy to come by. ”

"Your grandfather ostensibly agreed, but in private he was still secretly researching, and in the end the matter fell through and he was imprisoned. It wasn't until the day your parents got married that they were released, and he stole the relics after your parents had finished worshipping. ”

"After my grandfather stole the holy relics, where did those spirit worms for experiments come from? Lin Tianying heard something wrong.

"I secretly sent it for him, let your mother come to guard the secret place, on the one hand, for fear that the clan will exclude her, and on the other hand, to eliminate the guilt in your mother's heart, after all, this matter was caused by your grandfather, and she can't help it if she doesn't contribute to the clan. Elder Han Yin said.

"Also, the enchantment failed because of me, but I just happened to let your father bump into it, and I have to say sorry for that. If you still have a grudge in your heart, you can come to me, but I hope you will reconsider the matter of the contract with the spirit worm. ”

"Now that you know all the history, do you have any questions?" said the old patriarch kindly.

"There are two, firstly, is my grandfather alive or dead?second, why did you agree to let me sign a contract with the spirit worm?" Lin Tianying thought for a while, and truthfully said the question in his heart.

The old patriarch and Elder Han Yin exchanged glances, and the old patriarch said in a deep voice: "To be honest, we don't know whether your grandfather is dead or alive, Elder Han Yin and your grandfather have no contact with each other ten years ago, but there is no skeleton of your grandfather in that cave. ”

"As for why you agreed to let you sign a contract with the spirit worm, it's because the evil qi in the insect eggs is very heavy, and other clansmen may not be able to withstand the erosion of this evil qi, but you may be able to. ”

"If that's the case, I'd like to recommend someone who might be better suited than me. Lin Tianying said.

"Oh, who is it?"

"Night morning. ”
