The sky was already full of stars outside, and the first floor of the library was still brightly lit, and a young man walked up to Xiao An with an apologetic face, it turned out that the binding line of the book in the young man's hand had been damaged.

Looking at the background of the young man's departure, Xiao An muttered in his heart, what has happened in the past two days, there are books damaged every day. There were already three or four books on his desk, all of which had broken gutters, and the papers in those books were out of order.

The task of guarding the first floor of the library was originally extremely easy, and it was only open every day during the unitary and lunar hours, but in the last few days, there have always been problems with damaged books, which has added a lot of trouble to myself.

When the library was about to close, there were no monks reading books on the first floor of the library. After a quick sweep of the place, Xiao An returned to his desk, took the cord from the drawer and began to repair the damaged books.

After completing the book restoration, Xiao An picked up the "History of Cangyue" on the table and read it for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Although he has been in the sect for many years, Xiao An has very little understanding of the sect, and the "History of Cangyue" not only records the history of the Cangyue faction, but also records the history of the entire human race, which makes Xiao An have a little more understanding of this world.

......

Legend has it that this world was once completely occupied by the demon race, and the human race only came to this world millions of years ago, when the human race was extremely weak, and its strength was less than one ten-millionth of the demon race.

When the demon clan was still thinking about how to treat the human race, this world underwent a great change, and countless heavenly demons suddenly appeared in this world.

This is the first large-scale invasion of the Heavenly Demon in history, the invasion of the Heavenly Demon has brought heavy damage to the Demon Clan, about one-third of the Transformation Demon Clan monks fell in this disaster, and the races and tribes that have been implicated and destroyed are even more numerous, and even the entire Demon Emperor Clan has not been spared, and they have been exterminated in the war.

In the early days of fighting against the Heavenly Demons, in order to allow the Terrans to actively fight against the Heavenly Demons, the Demon Emperor carved out a vast territory for the Terrans. The human and demon clans invested all their strength in the confrontation with the heavenly demons at any cost, and still experienced a thousand years of bitter battles before all the heavenly demons who invaded this world were wiped out.

It's just that before the demon clan fulfilled the agreement to evacuate the demon clan in the territory of the human race, the demon clan itself had a change.

It was originally from after the extinction of the Demon Emperor clan, and there was endless debate within the demon clan about the new Demon Emperor, and finally split into four major forces. These four major forces all proclaimed themselves kings, namely the Xuanwu royal family in the north, the Suzaku royal family in the south, the white tiger royal family in the west, and the Canglong royal family in the east.

After a thousand years of conquest, the number of Terran monks is even more scarce, and they are unable to expel the demon clan in the territory at all, so they can only occupy the most resource-rich places in the territory first.

Later, the high-level of the human race communicated with the four demon kings many times, wanting the four demon kings to take away the demon clans in the territory of the human race. However, the Demon King's ability to control the various demon clans is far inferior to that of the Demon Emperor, although they all covet the power of the demon clan in the territory of the human race, but no one can mobilize these forces.

In the end, the Terran and the four demon kings reached a consensus: the monks of the Terran Jindan stage and below are responsible for recovering the area occupied by the demon race, and the monks of the Terran primordial infant stage and the demon transformation stage and above cannot participate in this matter, and the four demon kings are not allowed to interfere in this matter.

At the same time, it was also stipulated that monks were not allowed to attack wild beasts, and likewise demon beasts were not allowed to slaughter mortals, only mortals and wild beasts could fight each other.

To the demon race, these beasts were like the relationship between the secular world and the human race cultivators, and they were one of the important sources for replenishing fresh blood and collecting cultivation materials.

Although the demon cultivation in the territory of the Terran has blocked the speed of the development of the Terran Race, it has also become a whetstone for the Terran monks to sharpen themselves, allowing the overall strength of the Terran to improve rapidly.

For the weak, this is an era of strong enemies, and they can only live in fear. For the strong, this is an era of jewelry, and every time they go out, they bring back a high amount of wealth.

In the eyes of the Terran monks, the monsters are full of treasures, the fur can be made into battle armor and rune paper, the blood can be used in medicine and alchemy, and the spirit ink can be made, the flesh of the demon beast is the best food to replenish the aura, and the bones and minions are important refining materials.

And the land occupied by the demon beasts is either rich in spiritual energy, or there are spiritual veins or minerals, etc. So every day, countless monks went out to hunt demon beasts, and there were also countless monks who died in the mouths of demon beasts.

After hunting demon beasts, some people use the demon beast territory as their base camp, and slowly develop into an immortal cultivation sect or immortal cultivation family, and the birth of the Cangyue faction is like this.

According to the records in the "Records of Cangyue History", more than 800 years ago, Cangyue Zhenren, who was in the late stage of Qi refining, led several friends to the Lost Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts. Later, it was discovered that this place was not only rich in spiritual energy, but also had several barren spiritual veins and mineral veins.

Cangyue Zhenren, who had long been tired of living in exile, worked together with several friends to establish the "Cangyue faction" here.

And the development of the Cangyue faction was not all smooth sailing, and Cangyue Zhenren and his friends underestimated the power of the demon beasts in the Lost Mountain.

Not long after the establishment of the Cangyue faction, it was attacked by the surrounding demon beasts many times, and the mountain gate of the Cangyue faction was broken by the demon beasts several times. Even a few monks who founded the sect were killed in battle, and in the end, they were able to withstand the attack of the demon beasts.

And in the territory of the Terrans, similar things have been happening all the time, from ancient times to the present. If you fail to resist the attack of the demon beast, whether it is the sect or the family, you will become the food in the mouth of the demon beast. If you successfully resist the monster attackers, you will even grow stronger.

The Cangyue faction belongs to the latter, and as the strength of the sect grows, it begins to slowly clean up the more powerful demon beasts around it. Every time a demon beast is killed, the territory of the Cangyue Sect will expand a bit.

So far, the Cangyue faction has been established for more than 800 years, and has experienced six generations of leaders. And with one Jindan period monk, dozens of foundation building period monks, and more than 2,000 Qi refining period monks, it has developed into a small sect, and He Zhangmen is also the first Jindan period head in the history of the Cangyue faction.

And the "Canglie Country" was established three hundred years after the establishment of the Cangyue faction, and at this time the Cangyue faction really gained a firm foothold in the Lost Mountain. Recruited mortals from other secular nations and began to prepare to establish their own secular state.

Originally, these mortals lived with the monks of the Cangyue Sect, and the sect taught their martial arts every day, and used the elixir to improve their cultivation.

Later, when the Cangyue faction successfully controlled a plain outside the Lost Mountain, they established a city here, moved all mortals into the city, and officially named it "Canglie Country".

At this time, there were only a few thousand people in the "Canglie Country", which was not as big as a town in other secular countries. However, at this time, the martial arts level of the inhabitants of Canglie Kingdom had been raised to a certain level, and the people of the entire city relied on hunting and handling prey to make a living, and no one was engaged in agricultural production.

It's not that people don't want to grow food, it's because the outside of the city is densely packed with wild beasts, and it can't be grown at all.

Moreover, the aura of this heaven and earth is extremely strong, and in this environment, even the most ordinary beasts have become extremely powerful. When mortals encounter wild beasts, they are often more than lucky, and only some warriors have the ability to hunt wild beasts alone.
