They established a sect here, naming it the Guanlan Sect.
These first Hidden Clan mbers settled down in this place.
Later, they began to reproduce more descendants, and their population started bustling.
Thus, the Hidden Clan built Luohe Village beneath the Guanlan Sect.
It could be said that those from the Hidden Clan in Guanlan Sect clearly knew their own origins and identities.
However, most people from Luohe Village were newer generations and were unaware of many things.
They didn’t even know that Hidden Clan blood flowed through their veins.
Every year, the Guanlan Sect would select young people with good aptitude from Luohe Village to join them.
Only after joining the Guanlan Sect would they be inford of their true identities.
......
Perhaps about twenty years ago, a man arrived at the long-secluded Luohe Village.
He claid he stumbled upon this place while fleeing from his enemies’ pursuit.
The kind-hearted people of the Hidden Clan took the man in.
Later on, the girl at the ti, who was Gu Muyu’s mom Yiran, and the man developed feelings for each other.
The two quickly got together, married, and had a child.
With the birth of Gu Muyu.
It could be said that Gu Muyu had only half the Hidden Clan bloodline; the other half was actually from the human race.
But several years later, the people of the Hidden Clan realized that the man was no ordinary person at all.
Instead, he was an assassin sent by their enemies to find the remnants of the Hidden Clan.
It was just because the Hidden Clan was so well hidden that the man wasn’t sure if the people of Luohe Village were the remnants.
So he lived here for several decades.
In the end, of course, the man discovered the Hidden Clan’s secret.
Intending to report back to the mastermind, he was preemptively blown to pieces by the Hidden Clan.
And it was in that battle that Muyu’s mom lost her sight; she killed the man with her own hands.
Since then, it could be said that the Hidden Clan harbored extre hostility toward all outsiders.
This was also the reason why they wanted to secretly get rid of Xu Zii.
After hearing Muyu’s mom’s explanation, Xu Zii chuckled.
He turned to Village Chief Shao and smiled, "Is this your hidden secret?"
"Yes, we hope Young Master Xu can keep it confidential," Village Chief Shao nodded and replied.
"After all, our Hidden Clan can’t handle any more turmoil."
Xu Zii chuckled and glanced at the severely injured Immortal Master Guanlan beside him.
His knife moved extrely fast, and before anyone could react,
Immortal Master Guanlan was cleaved into two halves.
On the brink of death, his face still registered so bewildernt.
After all, nobody expected Xu Zii to suddenly burst forth with a killing move.
The scent of blood spread around.
"You," Village Chief Shao looked at Chaos warily and then said to Xu Zii.
"What are you doing?"
"Do you think it’s who is foolish, or is it you?" Xu Zii sneered.
"The story is not bad, yet it’s a mix of truth and fiction.
Far too insincere."
He turned his head to look at Muyu’s mom and said indifferently, "If it weren’t for that girl’s sake, you’d be the one split in two just now."
"What exactly do you want?" Village Chief Shao said with a troubled look.
"It’s simple, tell what secret it is you’re guarding?" Xu Zii said.
"I’ll only give you one chance.
I won’t repeat myself.
If your answer disappoints again, I’ll just leave without a word.
Today, I’ll slaughter your Hidden Clan and truly eradicate you."
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Village Chief Shao fell into a mont of silence.
This made Xu Zii even more certain that the other party was hiding sothing from him.
"I will only count to three. If you do not speak after I count to three, I won’t ask any further,"
Xu Zii said indifferently.
"Three,
Two."
"The War God Legacy Item, I’ll say it, it’s the War God Legacy Item," Village Chief Shao’s complexion changed as he hurriedly replied.
After finishing his statent, he let out a long sigh.
"The real reason our clan was wiped out is because of the War God Legacy Item."
"What War God Legacy Item?" Xu Zii asked, puzzled.
"Are you aware of the Ruins of the Gods?"
"I am," Xu Zii nodded.
"You’ve heard of the War God’s story, haven’t you?" continued Village Chief Shao.
"I have, and then?" Xu Zii responded.
"The Ruins of the Gods open once every thousand years, and those who enter and survive will gain growth.
So may even receive a Divine Spirit’s legacy."
Village Chief Shao spoke slowly, "In fact, those Divine Spirits have long scattered their Legacy Items accepting their inheritance across the world.
It is said that if one carries their Legacy Item into the Ruins of the Gods, it is highly possible to receive the corresponding Divine Spirit’s legacy."
"I roughly understand now, you possess the War God’s Legacy Item," Xu Zii nodded.
"The War God was known as the strongest Divine Spirit of the Mythical Era. The war he initiated, known as the Twilight of the Gods, put an end to the era dominated by Divine Spirits.
Since then, all Divine Spirits disappeared without a trace,"
Village Chief Shao replied, "You can imagine the significance of this legacy."
"It’s valuable enough for you to prefer your clan’s extinction over surrendering it," Xu Zii shook his head, still not fully understanding.
"You don’t get it. For us from the Hidden Clan, to truly develop and stand out among the myriad of races, it’s not a matter of having a few more people."
Village Chief Shao said with passion.
"Soone must ascend to emperorship and experience the view above the Firmant.
Only under the leadership of a Great Emperor can we truly thrive."
"So, if the choice from the past reappeared before you, would you still choose the extinction of your clan?" Xu Zii replied.
"What do you an?" Village Chief Shao was slightly startled.
"I an, I want the War God Legacy Item," Xu Zii narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Are you proposing to hand over the Legacy Item or preparing for your clan’s destruction?"
"I should have known," Village Chief Shao fell silent for a while.
Eventually, he said, "I can give you the inheritance, but you must promise one thing."
"To kill your enemy for you?" Xu Zii smiled.
"No, you don’t have that capability yet," replied Village Chief Shao.
"When the Ruins of the Gods open, help retrieve sothing from within."
"I’ve been underestimated," Xu Zii laughed, saying, "But that’s better, it saves a lot of trouble."
"How about it?" Village Chief Shao asked.
"Not about it," Xu Zii responded. "I can spare your clan if you hand over the Legacy Item, but anything beyond that is not included."
"Then go ahead and exterminate us, and let the Legacy Item never see the light of day again," Village Chief Shao said calmly.
"This is my bottom line, and I will not compromise even in the face of death."
Xu Zii studied Village Chief Shao intently. He knew that there was one kind of person who was the most difficult to deal with in this world.
That was soone who could put aside life and death.
If a person isn’t afraid of death, what else would they fear?
"Fine, hand it over," Xu Zii nodded in reply.
"Co with to Guanlan Sect. The War God Legacy Item is kept there," Village Chief Shao said slowly.
Afterward, the two of them rose into the air and flew off into the distance.
