Chapter 2212: Si’er!
On the other side.
Black Spirit returned to the city’s main hall and said to Fire Spirit:
"Fire Spirit, who were the ones that encountered the Ancestor Lord?"
"Where are they now?"
Fire Spirit hurriedly said:
"Great Elder, everyone who met the Ancestor Lord is waiting outside."
Black Spirit nodded.
"Very good."
"Let them in, I have things to ask them."
Fire Spirit quickly said:
"Yes, Great Elder."
Very soon, the squad that had first discovered Zhou Yu all walked in.
As soon as they entered, they knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to lift their heads.
Fire Spirit pointed at one of the big men and said:
"Great Elder, he was the first to discover him."
Black Spirit immediately said expressionlessly:
"Describe what happened at that time in detail, you are not allowed to miss anything."
That burly man was at this moment both excited and awed.
He said respectfully:
"Yes, Great Elder."
Then he started recounting everything, leaving nothing out.
After listening, a pensive look appeared in Black Spirit’s eyes.
After that, she looked again at Fire Spirit.
"Fire Spirit, you had the most contact with the Ancestor Lord. Tell me your impression."
Fire Spirit immediately recounted her impressions of Zhou Yu once through.
She said a lot, but in the end it all boiled down to one sentence.
Zhou Yu looked badly injured, yet he remained utterly calm, as if he had a solid backing.
From beginning to end, they hadn’t dared to show the slightest bit of disrespect.
After listening, Black Spirit nodded.
However, there was still some hesitation on her face.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Just then, a young woman suddenly ran in from outside the hall.
"Aunt, I’m back!"
Seeing this young woman, Black Spirit was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a look of excitement.
"Si’er, why have you come back?"
"Weren’t you following your Master out for tempering?"
The young woman called Si’er said anxiously:
"I learned from my Master that the She People are in trouble, so I rushed back."
Hearing this, Black Spirit grew anxious.
"Si’er, you shouldn’t have come back."
"The calamity of the She People is not something you can resolve."
"If you hadn’t returned and stayed outside instead, that would actually have been a kind of hope for the She People."
"Hurry and leave."
"Go back to the academy at once."
However, Si’er was extremely resolute.
"Aunt, I am also a member of the She People. When the She People are in disaster, I will never sit by and watch."
"Aunt, don’t worry. Si’er is no longer the same as before."
As she spoke, Si’er circulated her Primordial Power, and in the next instant, her aura abruptly surged.
Then, her figure actually changed to become almost identical to Black Spirit’s.
Seeing this scene, a look of shock appeared in Black Spirit’s eyes.
"Si’er, your cultivation?"
"Could it be you’ve already reached the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"That’s impossible. Three years ago when you left, you had only just reached Foundation Establishment."
Si’er said with an excited smile:
"Aunt, this is a Secret Technique my Master taught me. It can, in a short period of time, stimulate the body’s potential and thereby increase my strength."
"But this state can’t last very long."
"However, Master also bestowed me with a life-preserving item."
"This life-preserving item is extremely powerful. With it, even if I face someone at Nascent Soul Realm Late Stage, I’m confident I can kill them."
Hearing this, Black Spirit showed a look of shock.
The changes in Si’er over the past few years were simply astonishing.
Seeing Black Spirit’s reaction, Si’er immediately said:
"Aunt, just tell me, what exactly has happened?"
"On my way back just now, I found all our clansmen unusually tense."
"And they looked utterly despairing as well."
Faced with Si’er’s request, Black Spirit could only say helplessly:
"Si’er, it’s like this..."
After that, Black Spirit recounted what had happened once.
What she told Si’er was basically no different from what she had told Zhou Yu.
But at the end, Black Spirit added a sentence she had not told Zhou Yu.
"Si’er, that mysterious hand behind the clan exterminations—I suspect there’s at least an eighty to ninety percent chance it’s the Lan Witch Clan."
"You should know that tens of millions of years ago, the Lan Witch Clan and our three clans were mortal enemies."
"Later, the three clans joined forces and practically wiped out the Lan Witch Clan."
"But at the most critical moment, the Lan Witch Clan’s Clan Leader self-detonated without regard for the cost, preserving a group of the Lan Witch Clan remnants and letting them escape."
"That group of remnants fled to a mysterious place."
"After so many years, they must have risen again and have now come back to seek revenge."
"Besides them, there should be no one else who would be interested in our three clans."
"It’s just that the one thing I can’t figure out is why the Lan Witch Clan has endured in hiding for so many years without making a move, yet chose to act only in these past few years."
Black Spirit’s face was full of confusion.
Even Black Spirit didn’t know, so it was even more impossible for Si’er to know.
However, she didn’t care.
Right now her confidence was at its peak.
Si’er spoke with confidence:
"Aunt, don’t worry. With you here for the She People, plus me, two Nascent Soul Realm combat forces—so long as the Lan Witch Clan dare to come, we will definitely be able to annihilate them."
Hearing this, Black Spirit shook her head gravely.
"Si’er, this matter is not that simple."
"Ordinary members of the Lan Witch Clan are naturally nothing to fear."
"But what if there is a Golden Witch among them?"
Hearing this, Si’er’s expression changed drastically.
She naturally knew that the so-called Golden Witch referred to those among the Lan Witch Clan who possessed a special bloodline.
One had to know, our three clans and the Lan Witch Clan were originally existences that mutually generated and restrained each other.
Among our three clans, some with Innate Divine Abilities could restrain the Lan Witch Clan’s Innate Divine Abilities.
And the Lan Witch Clan’s Innate Divine Abilities could also restrain those of the three clans.
This had always been in a state of balance.
Until later, some bizarre individuals appeared within the Lan Witch Clan.
Their Innate Divine Abilities were completely different from those of normal Lan Witch Clan members.
What was even more terrifying was that their Innate Divine Abilities were actually to devour people of our three clans to rapidly raise their cultivation.
And the Innate Divine Abilities of our three clans could not restrain these people.
These people came to be known as Golden Witches.
Back then, it was precisely because of the existence of these Golden Witches that a tremendous threat was posed to the people of our three clans.
Thus the three clans joined forces to deal with the Lan Witch Clan.
In that battle, their most important objective was to exterminate all the Golden Witches within the Lan Witch Clan.
"Golden Witches?"
"That’s impossible."
"Wasn’t it said that in that war back then, all the Golden Witches were killed?"
Black Spirit shook her head and said:
"That’s only the legend. What if?"
"If even one fish slipped through the net, it would be a calamity of annihilation for us."
Although Black Spirit’s expression was grave,
Si’er was still unafraid.
"Aunt, I think that even so, they must have paid a price to deal with those other two clans."
"Besides, our She People are the strongest among the three clans to begin with."
"With their loss and our gain, they may not be able to deal with us."
"I hope so." Black Spirit sighed.
"Oh right, Aunt, I heard you invited a powerful expert? And it’s even the Ancestor Lord?" Si’er asked curiously.
