"Let's go, we'll chase after them!"
Night Wind led Rowling, Zijing, and the others in pursuit of the strange man in the direction he had left. Before long, the strange man reappeared.
He raised his hands and walked step by step toward Ye Feng and the others, shouting, "Don't worry, I mean no harm, I won't attack you anymore!"
"Why should we believe you?" Zijing shouted.
"Even if I attack you, I am no match for you, am I? Your leader is a peak Saint Realm expert, while I am only at the peak Saint Realm, and I am no match for him at all."
“My disintegration ray just now couldn’t break through his true energy shield at all, as you all saw.”
This strange man spoke solemnly, and finally arrived in front of Ye Feng and the others.
But Ye Feng didn't easily believe him and maintained his true energy shield to prevent this guy from suddenly attacking and hurting people.
Ye Feng himself is not afraid, but the problem is that there are also Luo Lin Zijing, Chen He, and Xu Ping'an.
If the true energy shield is removed, and this guy suddenly launches a sneak attack, it's really uncertain whether Ye Feng will be able to protect Luo Lin and the others in time.
"Who exactly are you?" Ye Feng asked.
"My name is Li Xuanming, the director of the First Spirit Beast Research Institute of the Luo Feng Empire, and I report directly to the emperor of the Luo Feng Empire," Li Xuanming said earnestly.
After a pause, Li Xuanming said with a wry smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the Luo Feng Empire should no longer exist, right?"
“The Luo Feng Empire no longer exists. It was completely destroyed seven hundred years ago,” Ye Feng said.
"Was it the Red-tailed Beast army that destroyed the Luo Feng Empire?" Li Xuanming asked again.
“Yes.” Night Breeze nodded.
"Just as I expected, everything has come true."
Li Xuanming's face showed a deep sense of dejection and despair, and he let out a deep sigh.
"Can you tell us what's going on here?" Night Wind asked.
“This is a very, very long story,” Li Xuanming said.
“It’s alright, we have plenty of patience to listen to you finish your story,” Night Breeze said with a smile.
Li Xuanming nodded and finally began to tell his story.
"Seven hundred and forty years ago, there was no First Spirit Beast Research Institute here, and the Emerald Forest Mountains were a paradise."
"But one day, a shooting star suddenly streaked across the sky and crashed here. The Emperor of the Luo Feng Empire immediately ordered me to bring people here to investigate, and then we..."
At this point, Li Xuanming paused for a moment before emphasizing each word and saying, "We've discovered a Void Returning Realm demon beast!"
Night Breeze and Rowling were not surprised by this.
In fact, they had already guessed that Li Xuanming would find a Void Returning Realm demon beast here.
After all, this is the First Spirit Beast Research Institute!
“That Void Returning Realm demon beast fell from the sky and was seriously injured, but when we found him, he still had a trace of consciousness.”
"He told us that a disaster was about to befall the Lingluo Great World. A monster called the Crimson-Tailed Beast would appear, and there would be a great number of them, enough to destroy the existing civilization of the Lingluo Great World."
He also said that the Red-tailed Beast and he were born in the same place and that they were of the same origin.
"Then the Void Returning Realm demon beast fell into a coma, and no matter how we tried, we couldn't make it fully regain consciousness."
"The prophecy given by the monster terrified us all, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Luo Feng Empire was particularly uneasy. So His Majesty ordered us to build an underground research institute here to secretly study this monster."
"However, because this monster possesses intelligence and can communicate with us, and its prophecy of the impending destruction of the world was clearly well-intentioned, we call it the Void Returning Realm Spirit Beast."
"And this place became the Spirit Beast Research Institute."
Zijing immediately asked, "Then why is this the First Spirit Beast Research Institute?"
"Because later, several more Void Returning Realm spirit beasts appeared, and the situation was similar. However, I am only the director of the First Spirit Beast Research Institute, so I am not clear about the other spirit beasts or the locations of the other spirit beast research institutes," Li Xuanming said in a heavy tone.
"So, all spirit beasts are friendly?" Rowling asked.
Li Xuanming immediately shook his head and said in a solemn tone, "No, not all spirit beasts are friendly... That's not accurate. It should be said that among these demonic beasts that suddenly descended upon our Lingluo Great World, several are friendly. They took the initiative to contact our human race and pass on information about the impending disaster to us. We call these demonic beasts spirit beasts."
"As for the remaining few demonic beasts, they are hostile to the human race. They did not actively contact us, but instead lay low and recuperated after appearing. When the great war broke out, these demonic beasts attacked our human race together with the Crimson-Tailed Beast!"
Night Breeze's face revealed an expression of understanding.
Ye Feng is not a person from the Lingluo Great World, but because he obtained all of Luo Tong's memories, Ye Feng has indirectly experienced everything that Luo Tong experienced.
Therefore, Ye Feng had a deep impression of the war that swept through the entire Lingluo Great World seven hundred years ago, and even knew some of the details.
In that great battle between humans and the Crimson-Tailed Beasts, several Void Return Realm demonic beasts did indeed appear to help the Crimson-Tailed Beasts attack humans.
That is why the human race collapsed so quickly.
If it weren't for the help of those few Void Return Realm demonic beasts, perhaps the Luo Feng Empire wouldn't have collapsed, and perhaps the human race would have killed all the Crimson Tail Beasts seven hundred years ago!
"So that's why there were a few Void Return Realm demonic beasts in that war. So that's what happened," Ye Feng said slowly.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Xuanming's face immediately showed a look of shock.
"Did you experience that war?" Li Xuanming asked incredulously.
“That’s right. I experienced that war, and I was one of the leaders of that war. My name is Luo Tong, and I am a member of the royal family of the Luo Feng Empire. However, back then, I was just an unknown prince in the Luo Feng Empire’s royal family.”
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Xuanming's expression changed drastically.
The next moment, he knelt down in front of Ye Feng with a thud, placed his hand on his chest, and said respectfully, "I never expected that you would be His Highness the Prince of the Luo Feng Empire. I was rude!"
Xu Pingan, Zijing, and Chen He were all stunned, but Luo Lin wasn't as surprised.
Since ancient times, there has been a popular saying that the Luo family's bloodline was inherited from the royal family of the Luo Feng Empire seven hundred years ago, but no one takes this rumor seriously.
But the core members all know this is true!
Rowling is also a core member of the Rowling family, so she already knew this secret and is not surprised now.
