Zhou Tong was surrounded by a strong mental barrier. No one except Ling Shuang could detect what was happening between them.

"Brother, I am also of the royal bloodline of the Xianming clan, but they missed me. Thanks to this, I have the opportunity to give this token to you!"

The little girl spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, saying that although she was not very strong, she had an elegant and generous demeanor, which made people see her inner extraordinaryness at a glance.

Zhou Tong did not reply, but directly opened the secret letter. He could not help but feel his heart tremble after just one glance at it.

A letter to the unyielding people of the human race and the Ming race:

"Ancestors, I will follow your teachings and live and die with you. If I fail to accomplish my mission and resist the invasion of foreign races, I will die!"

"I wish to transform my flesh and blood into a banner, and to embellish the stars with my spirit, so that both races may be immortal and prosper for generations to come!"

…

Through letters, Zhou Tong finally understood the origins of the Xianming people and the human race.

Countless years ago, the human race and the Xianming race had a common ancestor, a common leader, and were truly one family.

However, the common ancestor of the two tribes was still weak at that time, and was always targeted by foreign races. They lived in dire straits and were in danger of being destroyed at any time.

In order to survive, the common ancestor of the two races struggled with the heaven and earth and strived for self-improvement. Although they won a corner of the world, they still lived at the bottom of thousands of living creatures and led an extremely unstable life.

After a long period of time, two leaders who would go down in history emerged from the common ancestors of the two tribes.

One is the Xianming King, and the second is his younger brother, known as the Human King!

In order to change the disadvantage of the weak race, the Xianming King once asked the Human King: "For the rise of our race, is it more difficult to seize the fortune of the universe and all living things, or is it more difficult to stick to the family business and endure the loneliness of eternity?"

The king thought for a moment and replied, "The former is difficult, the latter is easy!"

Upon hearing this, King Xianming laughed and said, "In that case, as a brother, I should do the hard work. As for the important task of protecting the foundation of our clan, I will leave it all to you!"

After that, the two kings divided the race into nine, with the Human King leading one of them. The rest, led by the Xianming King, were scattered to all corners of the world and disappeared without a trace.

After that, the Xianming clan became famous and stood out among all the clans, becoming extremely dazzling.

No one knows where they came from, but we know that they are constantly striving for self-improvement and never give up. When they are at their lowest point, they are willing to bow their heads and endure, learning from the strengths of all races.

Even though they were as weak as ants, they never yielded in the face of natural disasters. Along the way, they fought against severe cold, resisted famine, eliminated plague, and blocked foreign enemies. They never retreated once. In this way, they climbed higher and higher step by step and built a road that belonged to them alone!

With the Great Dao, one has the capital for cultivation. After that, the Xianming clan's strength will advance by leaps and bounds, enough to compete in the great world.

Not long after that, another human race rose up. The path of cultivation they followed was very similar to that of the Xianming clan, but they were even more powerful and had gone even further.

Soon after, the Xianming tribe disappeared, and all other tribes soon forgot about this fleeting race and focused their attention on the human race.

Only a few people know that most of the Xianming people have returned to their own tribe, but a few are still wandering between heaven and earth, abiding by the ancient covenant and silently protecting the human race!

Their names are little known, their achievements are silent, and their existence has become a legend, but in the moment of crisis for the human race, they still chose to stand up, even if they died a thousand times, they never regretted it!

"Big Brother... Big Brother..."

Ling Shuang's childish voice called Zhou Tong back. The little girl took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, stretched out her little hand and gently wiped the corners of Zhou Tong's eyes.

"I'm not crying!"

Zhou Tong shook his head, the heat in his eyes rising, instantly evaporating the mist.

"I know that my brother is a man of integrity. He won't cry for himself, but only for our compatriots!"

Ling Shuang smiled brightly, like a delicate flower blooming and swaying in the spring breeze.

"I can't compare to my big brother, but I also want to grow up and become stronger, at least to protect the important people..."

"But my sister has been captured and we don't know whether she is alive or dead. My brothers and sisters are also in danger of death. Even if they are alive, they will be tortured and humiliated. Even if I grow up, who can protect me..."

As she spoke, Ling Shuang's expression gradually darkened: "Ling Shuang suddenly doesn't want to grow up, and I may not be able to grow up..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong felt as if his blood was boiling, and a crazy emotion was rapidly running through his internal organs and meridians!

This rage and murderous intent was so intense that even the ego could hardly suppress it, and it almost burst out!

With a clang, the black sword was unsheathed!

Zhou Tong was seen standing with a sword in his hand, his index finger crossing the blade, leaving blood that spread between heaven and earth!

"I, Zhou Tong, swear to humanity that as long as I have one breath left, I will protect the Xianming clan. Even if I am struck by swords and axes, I will not change my mind. Even if I face countless disasters, I will never forget this word!"

Suddenly, the laws within his body resonated and authority roared, indicating that the oath was fulfilled!

"Sister...you really didn't lie to me!"

When Ling Shuang saw this scene, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly and cute smile.

"Girl, I'll let you vent your anger next!"

Zhou Tong put away his sword and looked grimly at the people from the two sects through the mental barrier.

"Brother, what do you want to do with them?"

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

Zhou Tong said this with great determination.

"But the main culprits are the gods, and they had no choice."

"Then accept them as dogs and let them atone for their sins!"

"I also think this is the most suitable way." said the little girl with a smile.

"It's settled then!"

Zhou Tong's face was full of admiration. He snapped his fingers and reappeared in front of everyone.

The people from the two sects couldn't help but feel overjoyed when they saw Ling Shuang holding Zhou Tong's arm tightly!

It seems that this lord really likes the slaves of the Xianming tribe!

In that case, they know how to please each other!
