"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Xiang already regarded him in his heart as a newly emerged master who had been in seclusion for many years and was not familiar with some common sense.
After all, only figures like Nuwa, Fuxi, and Suirenshi were born with innate knowledge.
As for others, it is said that Emperor Yan Shennong would personally taste a herb to find out if it was edible.
“That’s very simple,” Xiang replied. “A tribe that has an imperial throne or has had a master who has held an imperial throne can be called a ‘clan’, such as the Gongsun clan of the Yellow Emperor and the Shennong clan of the Yan Emperor; a tribe that has a master who holds a divine throne is called a ‘tribe’, such as the Feng Hou tribe, the Jiufeng tribe, the Qiangliang tribe, and so on.”
Li Changzhou remained silent for a while.
"Tell me about Suirenshi."
When he entered the dungeon, amidst the misty lake, he clearly remembered the woman who had only shown him her back, saying that she was a descendant of Suiren.
There was no response for a long time.
Li Changzhou raised his gaze and glanced at the small high-rise buildings gathered opposite him. Each of them had a pale face, like the corpses of the dead.
The campfire crackled and popped.
Xiang took a deep breath and slowly said, "Emperor Jun killed the emperor Suiren and obtained the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Suiren has already... perished."
The flesh on the emerald bee sword sizzled.
After a brief silence, Jiao glanced at Li Changzhou and suddenly said, "There is a Heavenly Emperor's decree that is always in effect. As long as you kill the descendant of Suiren, you will receive the Heavenly Emperor's reward, ascend the Jianmu tree, and achieve..."
"Jiao!" she scolded, almost in a fit of rage.
Jiao trembled slightly.
Anyone with a brain would know something was wrong if someone who didn't even know the difference between a clan or tribe was specifically asking about the Suiren clan.
In this situation, the best thing to do is to pretend you know nothing!
Li Changzhou showed no reaction whatsoever; to be precise, he did not react as one might expect.
He found it very interesting: "With the Heavenly Emperor's strength, he could even kill the Human Emperor Suirenshi, so why would he care about Suirenshi's descendants?"
"How could we, nameless and insignificant people, possibly know about such a major event?" Xiang chuckled to himself.
It is said that—
"Jiao!"
"Let her finish speaking," Li Changzhou said.
He thought for a moment and then added, "Actually, if she hadn't mentioned the 'Heavenly Emperor's Decree' to hunt down the descendants of Suiren, you would already be dead."
Li Changzhou looked at Jiao: "Speak up. Whoever dares to stop you, I will kill them. If you don't speak, it means you are stopping yourself, and I will kill you."
She pursed her lips.
“I…I also heard it,” she said hesitantly. “It is said that after Suirenshi died, the Human Emperor Sword was hidden in the bloodline of Suirenshi’s descendants. Only when Suirenshi is completely extinct will the Human Emperor Sword choose a new master. The Heavenly Emperor’s target is the Human Emperor Sword.”
As she spoke, she looked at the sizzling meat on the Emerald Bee Sword.
Li Changzhou glanced at the Emerald Bee Sword: "You think it's the Human Emperor's Sword? It's just a kebab skewer that doesn't get oily."
Xiang's eyelids twitched.
The Fire Branch, which he cherished most, was most proud of, and wouldn't trade even if threatened with his son (who did indeed die because of it), was harvested from the Fire Mulberry Tree. Even the divine weapons of some great clans couldn't harm the Fire Branch, yet it was easily cut in half by this jade sword.
Could these be skewers for barbecue?!
Li Changzhou pondered. If Suirenshi's Emperor Sword was the Emperor's State Sword, then this sword was in his hands, but it had been sealed by the system.
etc.
Considering that the system never loses its assigned identity without reason, the Emperor's Sword might really be the Emperor's Sword, and this sword has not been sealed, but he just can't take it out.
After all, in this era, he was merely a descendant of Suirenshi, not the master of the six great stars, so it was possible that the Human Emperor Sword would fall into dormancy again.
So... Yang Qinglan, who can transform into a human with a snake's tail by cultivating the Yin-Yang Twin Serpents, is very likely...
"It was him?"
"That's him!"
A tidal wave of people surged in from all directions.
Apart from a few familiar three-eyed teenagers and a few people dressed in white who looked like nobles, the rest were all human-bodied snake-tailed.
"Nuwa!"
"!" Apart from Xiang Hejiao, all the other people in the small high-rise building were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Sigh." Li Changzhou was extremely unwilling. Before the fight broke out and dust rose, he drew the Emerald Bee Sword and took a bite of meat.
"Pah! Raw!"
