Chapter 495 The Origin of the Mysterious Clan
"Master... Master! I'm so glad you're not dead, wow... so glad..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, especially the group of men in black, who didn't care about anything else and jumped down one after another.
Chen Zhao and the others were still weak and powerless, and could only wait there helplessly.
After a while, the men in black who jumped down came up one by one.
They jumped up, protecting an old man in gray clothes.
The old man was holding an old woman of the same age in his arms, who was sleeping peacefully.
"Mother..."
The word "Mother" was shouted out by the Ninth Prince.
The old man looked towards the Ninth Prince following the voice. After a flash of shock in his eyes, they were then filled with tears.
[This must be her child. He looks exactly like her.]
King Zhongyi's eyes flickered with excitement when he looked at the old woman in the old man's arms.
Shen Zhao knew that person was her grandmother.
The old man's eyes finally fell on Chu Mu's face.
He was stunned for a moment.
This little girl must be her granddaughter. She is as bright and beautiful as she was when she was young. Unlike ordinary girls who are so graceful, they are also bright and unrestrained.
The man in black and the left protector looked at the old man with tears in their eyes, especially the man in black, as they thought their master had died long ago.
Unexpectedly, the master was not dead, but was imprisoned under the Yunlong Villa.
If they had found this place earlier, the master would not have been imprisoned for so many years.
Shen Zhao looked at his grandmother with complicated eyes.
According to all the clues, shouldn't my grandmother be imprisoned somewhere and suffering?
How could he be imprisoned underground in Yunlong Villa with the master of the man in black?
"Master, you have suffered so much over the years! Who imprisoned you and the Saint here? It was that bastard, the current owner of the manor."
The left protector looked at his old master with excitement.
He had been guarding Yunlong Villa all these years, and his master was imprisoned under his feet, but he didn't know it.
Every day, like a fool, he looked forward to the return of his master and brothers, and to returning to the tribe with him.
This wait lasted for several decades.
He is such a loser that he wants to slap himself in the face a few times.
If it weren’t for that kid named Chu who said today that there was another secret prison under this secret prison.
Is his master going to be locked up in this dark dungeon for the rest of his life?
The left protector cast a grateful look towards Shen Zhao.
The old man gently brushed the dust off the old woman's face with his fingers.
"She and I have been imprisoned here for twenty-three years. The owner of Yunlong Villa is just a guard."
"The only ones who could have locked me up here were my father, the clan leader, and my half-brother. Now my half-brother should be the new clan leader of the Xuanyuan clan."
"He is as ambitious as my father. He wants to control the world through everything my mother created."
"Is the world going to be in chaos now..."
The old man narrated all this in a flat tone, as if the protagonist he was talking about was not himself, but an outsider.
"Back then, I was plotted against by my father and half-brother, and I failed to protect her."
"She caused the death of all her clan members, leaving only her and her heartless sister."
"She was driven out of the clan by my father and sent to Nanchu to deceive the emperor. I followed her all the way, but was kidnapped back to the clan by people sent by my father..."
The left protector and the men in black knew what happened next.
The others were stunned when they heard it.
All of this is due to the ambition of the Xuanyuan clan leader.
The old man in front of them was the next patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan.
However, he was imprisoned here by his father and half brother.
However, the Xuanyuan clan is not as mysterious as rumored.
All their seemingly mysterious aspects come from a woman.
A woman who united the twelve clans into the Xuanyuan clan.
That woman was the first patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan, and the mother of the old man in front of him.
She could make ice in the summer, perform strange arts, master Qimen Dunjia, perform Qihuang magic, march and fight, and design various mechanisms and formations...
In the old man's words, his mother can do anything.
The reason why the Xuanyuan clan is difficult for ordinary people to find is because the first clan leader set up formations and fog around the island.
The people of the Xuanyuan clan are not born different, but through the various magical techniques and secret medicines she developed, she can cleanse their bones and marrow, and change their bloodline and next generation.
Xie Yuheng on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Since the old senior's mother is so powerful, how could he end up like this? Didn't she leave any backup plans or connections for him?"
Not to mention Xie Yuheng was puzzled, Shen Zhao, King Zhongyi and the Ninth Prince were also very puzzled.
Such a powerful woman, her descendants should not be so bad as to be imprisoned for decades.
The old man sighed.
"My mother had great ambitions. She once said she wanted to change this world where men are superior to women, that everyone in this world is born equal, and that all living things would no longer suffer from the pain of war. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the world in the slightest."
"Before she left, she told me not to try to change the rules of any era, because that is not something that can be accomplished on one's own. If you get caught up in it, you will only suffer torture and pain."
"My mother passed away suddenly. No one knew where she went. I was still young at that time, and my father took over the Xuanyuan clan on behalf of me, the young master."
"Father was the first person Mother saved when she came into this world. He was deeply trusted by Mother and loved me dearly, but..."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"But less than a year after Mother passed away, he married his second wife. He had already had a son with her before that. That child was only one year younger than me."
"Father, under Mother's banner, wants to unify the world and change this era. I am the only one who knows his evil ambitions. He wants to use everything Mother left behind to disrupt the world and reap the benefits, so that he can become king and dominate the world."
"He squandered much of what his mother left behind. There's no other mother in the world, no one else who can forge weapons for him to disrupt the world."
"He gradually undermined my position in the clan. If it weren't for the care and protection of my uncles who once swore allegiance to my mother, I would have never grown up."
"After all these years, I'm afraid they've already squandered everything my mother left behind."
"The Xuanyuan clan is nothing to be feared now. It is no longer at the peak of its power when my mother was alive. It will be extremely difficult for them to unify the world."
As Shen Zhao listened to the old man's narration, she thought of Li Yuwan and Feng Li.
The old man’s mother might be from the same place as Li Yuwan and Feng Li.
For example, they all have mysterious systems.
And Fengli's red jade bracelet.
Thinking of the red jade bracelet, Shen Zhao took out the token in his hand that originally belonged to the old man.
She always felt that this token was not only a symbol of the old man's identity, but also had a special use.
