Chapter 816 - 804: Explanation (First Update)
Hearing the four words "Nine Nether Forbidden Land," Qiu Zhezhi nodded and said, "Yes, there are Insect Clan Beastmen there, but unfortunately, the Insect Clan Beastmen there are sealed and cannot go elsewhere."
Su Muyao’s heart immediately tightened.
She didn’t expect these Ant Clan Beastmen to be connected with the Insect Clan Beastmen of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.
However, they did not understand the Secret Techniques and abilities of the Insect Clan Beastmen.
Perhaps there is a way they don’t know about.
This made Su Muyao’s expression even more grave.
Qiu Zhezhi continued to speak, "It’s all because of those Witch Clan Beastmen who possess peculiar powers and don’t seem to be affected by the Heavenly Dao Rules, suppressing those Insect Clan Beastmen in that place."
"But it is also because those people are too weak that they were sealed."
When saying this, Qiu Zhezhi’s tone carried both coldness and disdain.
Looked down on those weaker tribesmen, yet still needs to use them for tasks.
Qiu Zhezhi only knows they are Witch Clan Beastmen, but he is unclear about the characteristics of the power used by the Witch Clan Beastmen.
"However, it is said that the Witch Clan Beastmen no longer exist."
"The Destructive Black Lotus consumed a great deal of power back then, mobilizing many forces to eradicate both the Witch Clan and Dragon Clan, using the blood and bones of these beastmen to fill the Floating Light Cyan Creek Sea, polluting it, thus turning the sea into the Endless Sea, and simultaneously opened another passage."
Hearing this, Su Muyao’s heartstrings trembled.
Sure enough, the Destruction Tribulation is related to the Destructive Black Lotus.
"What passage?"
Mei Qingchen and Shen Ci’an’s expressions also changed as they stared at Qiu Zhezhi.
Seeing Qiu Zhezhi’s bewildered and vacant gaze, they knew he should be unaware at the moment, instinctively speaking these words.
Therefore, these words should be true.
Because of this, they realized how severe this news was.
Qiu Zhezhi said, "It is a passage leading to our ancestral land."
Su Muyao’s eyes darkened, "Are you referring to the Fusang Forest?"
Qiu Zhezhi mechanically said, "Oh, what you outsiders call the Fusang Forest, but strictly speaking, the Fusang Forest is not our ancestral land. It is a separated place, but entering the Fusang Forest indeed offers a chance to reach our ancestral land."
"However, Fusang Forest is heavily polluted too, but it is mainly the territory of Plant-type Beastmen."
Su Muyao continued to ask, "What is your ancestral land like?"
Qiu Zhezhi responded, "Our ancestral land is very, very vast, belonging to the Western Realm."
"The pollution isn’t as severe, but in recent years, the Spiritual Energy has become thin, making it difficult for beastmen to enhance their strength. Hence, finding the Divine Domain and Immortal Realm is necessary to break this barrier."
Therefore, the Ant Clan Beastmen are seeking ways for a breakthrough.
Their people put in immense effort, searching for a long, long time, and finally found this Immortal Crystal Ore.
Unfortunately, the Taixu Secret Realm is an exceptionally unique place; to transport the Immortal Crystal Ore out, they can only use the passage through the Endless Sea.
"When the Floating Light Cyan Creek Sea incident happened, weren’t those treasures at the sea bottom taken away by you through the passage?"
Qiu Zhezhi replied, "That is partly true, and many parts were carried away by the power of the Destructive Black Lotus."
"Just like the complete body of the Black Dragon King, it was a treasure with tremendously strong power, taken away by the Destructive Black Lotus."
"As for where the Destructive Black Lotus took the Black Dragon King thereafter, no one knows."
"Originally, our Insect Clan also wanted the body of the Black Dragon King, but, unfortunately, the Plant-type Beastmen got it first."
Su Muyao’s gaze turned cold, with sharp and icy glints, she stared intently at Qiu Zhezhi and asked, "What do you plan to do with the body of the Black Dragon King?"
Qiu Zhezhi said, "The Black Dragon King’s body contains the rules and power of the Heaven and Earth Dao. Using his body and some treasures from the Dragon Palace to set a Heaven-defying Array can condense rich nature’s spiritual energy and, at the very least, help us enhance our strength and revive the Vitality of the body."
"Just like the Immortal Phoenix Bone, it also possesses the power of the Heaven and Earth Dao Rules. Of course, the Immortal Phoenix Beastman is an auspicious beast, more sheltered by the Heavenly Dao."
"If the Immortal Phoenix Bone and Immortal Phoenix Heart Blood are used, it can send us away from here and easily take these Immortal Crystal Ores."
"If the Immortal Phoenix Bone is brought back to the tribe and they use the Immortal Phoenix Bone and Immortal Phoenix Heart Blood to set a Heaven-defying Array, it can seize the Heavenly Dao Power and even let us obtain Qi Fortune, elevating our tribe to become the Supreme of the Insect Clan."
"And I, once credited, would have achieved a great merit."
"I didn’t expect you... suddenly became so strong."
"Of course, if I took your corpse back, it could also be used for a sacrificial offering, offered to our Insect Clan’s deity."
Knowing Su Muyao is an Immortal Phoenix Beastman, Qiu Zhezhi had contemplated this plan.
But even the Thorn Flower Clan might not know what Su Muyao’s Immortal Phoenix Bone represents.
Hearing this, Su Muyao trembled all over, her body shook with anger, and her eyes turned red, "You... you actually planned to do this."
Shen Ci’an was so furious he wanted to kill Qiu Zhezhi.
No, he wanted to annihilate all Insect Clan Beastmen.
Fierce, bloodthirsty chills shone in Shen Ci’an’s long and narrow eyes.
"They all deserve to die, daring to plot like this."
"The Witch Clan did well; such a race, if not killed, must be entirely sealed."
At this moment, the blood in Shen Ci’an’s body couldn’t help but boil, clamoring for slaughter.
Su Muyao, however, remained calm.
Fortunately, they caught Qiu Zhezhi and learned so much at once.
"Do you know why the Destructive Black Lotus targeted the Witch Clan back then?"
Qiu Zhezhi explained, "I only know that the Witch Clan exists independently outside the Heavenly Dao Rules and poses a threat to all of us beastmen. Especially, my Insect Clan uses the method of sacrificing beastmen from other clans or even our own clan to enhance our strength, which is our clan’s inheritance secret technique. What does it have to do with those Witch Clan Beastmen wanting to fight us Insect Clan?"
"Since they dared to kill some Insect Clan Beastmen and sealed the entire Insect Clan in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, we naturally had to support the Destructive Black Lotus. When the Destructive Black Lotus took chaos wild beastmen to destroy that continent, we Insect Clan Beastmen secretly launched a sneak attack."
"Unfortunately, those Great Powers of the Witch Clan were too strong, and the strong ones we Insect Clan ambushed also perished along."
"Otherwise, after the Witch Clan was exterminated, we would have helped open the Nine Nether Forbidden Land Barrier, so the Insect Clan Beastmen wouldn’t have to hide in such a place."
"But the Witch Clan Beastmen were foolish, insisting on protecting those useless beastmen. If they hadn’t protected those beastmen, allowing them to be slaughtered, the Witch Clan Beastmen wouldn’t have been so easily ambushed."
Hearing these words, Yue Wuhen paled and immediately understood what had happened before.
So, there was an Insect Clan conspiracy involved.
The clansmen sacrificed so much to seal the wicked Insect Clan for the peace of the Beast World.
Then the Destruction Tribulation suddenly arrived, catching them off guard, leaving them only able to protect the Beast World Continent.
Who would have thought there was a conspiracy behind all this?
No wonder he always felt that his clan’s ancestors were strong, and that no matter how you put it, the Witch Clan shouldn’t have ended up like that.
