Before the Fifth Elder spoke, Ran Changle said curiously, "This genius disciple with a single supreme spiritual root has exactly one each of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. How evenly balanced, and truly miraculous."
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder placed his teacup heavily on the table and said in a cold tone, "It seems that Patriarch Chu has something against me. In that case, Patriarch Chu should withdraw from District Five and go somewhere else. My temple here is too small to accommodate a giant like you."
The Chu family head's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained: "There are really no more, there are only these five."
Ran Changle stabbed in the back again: "There are five now, but there may be more in the future."
The fifth elder looked at Ran Changle and asked, "Songluo, what do you mean by this?"
Ran Changle said, "I heard that the Chu family wanted a woman before because she killed the daughter of the Chu family master. But the messenger told me that the real reason why the Chu family wanted that woman was because her blood could purify spiritual roots."
"Spirit Blood Clan!" The Fifth Elder slammed the table, his eyes piercing as he stared at the Chu Family Master. "Twenty years ago, the Sect Master ordered the extermination of the Spirit Blood Clan. How dare you secretly spare one life? It seems your Chu Family also wants to be exterminated."
After hearing this, Ran Changle's grip on the teacup slowly tightened, and he was extremely angry. The word "genocide" came out of his mouth as easy as drinking water. Poor her dead clansmen, not only did they suffer painful torture, but they also had to be bled in the end.
She wanted to chop the two men in front of her with a sword, but she was not strong enough. She could only silently say in her heart, "Endure! Endure! Endure!"
When the Chu family leader heard about the extermination of his clan, his face turned pale and he pleaded humbly, "It's my fault for being too greedy. Please, Fifth Elder, let my family go."
He was not afraid of the Fifth Elder alone, but what happened twenty years ago was decided by the leader of Duanshan Sect and the Lord of Luoye City. Both of them had the power to destroy his Chu family.
The fifth elder's eyes flickered as he asked, "Where is that woman now?"
The Chu family head replied, "After escaping from my home, the woman joined the Lingxiao Sect. Later, I heard that she died in the beast tide."
"Yeah?"
The Chu family head said with great fear, "I dare not deceive the Fifth Elder. You can go to Lingxiao Sect to investigate the matter of that woman."
The Fifth Elder was in a state of uncertainty. He knew the truth of the matter as soon as he investigated it, and he thought that the head of the Chu family would not dare to lie.
He then turned to ask another question: "Where does the Chu family's divine power come from?"
The head of the Chu family groaned inwardly.
The original power of the Chu family's ancestor who had achieved divine transformation was not obtained from the Holy Island. Moreover, the ancestor had already absorbed all the original power. They were afraid that someone would covet it, so they had been hiding it.
In the battle of Luoyun City, they thought they had a sure victory, but it was only then that it was revealed.
Who would have thought that not only did they fail to capture Luoyun City, but the Chu family's ancestor who had reached the state of transformation also died.
Now that the Fifth Elder had asked about it, Patriarch Chu no longer concealed the truth and said, "The power of origin was obtained from the Spirit Blood Clan, but my ancestor had already absorbed it all when he ascended to the Divine Transformation stage."
Afraid that the Fifth Elder wouldn't believe him, Patriarch Chu pulled out a bone from his bosom and said, "This is the bone of the Spirit Blood Clan that contains the original power."
When Ran Changle saw this bone, his heart trembled and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
The bone was about an inch long and slightly thicker than the one on her body. It gave her the same extremely familiar feeling and should be the sacred bone of their clan.
Got to find a way to get it.
The fifth elder took the bone and examined it carefully. It was white and smooth, no different from ordinary bones.
Closing my eyes and using my spiritual sense to sense carefully, I found that there was indeed no original power.
He opened his eyes and stared at Patriarch Chu, his voice playful: "Patriarch Chu, you wouldn't try to trick me with an ordinary bone, would you?"
The Chu family head said helplessly: "No matter what I say now, the Fifth Elder will not believe it, but this is really the bone containing the original power. I can swear an oath to the heavens."
Seeing that Patriarch Chu even mentioned the Heavenly Oath, I guess he didn’t lie.
The fifth elder was disappointed that he did not get what he wanted from the head of the Chu family.
He took out the sound transmission jade slip and ordered, "Send someone to the beast garden to rescue the Chu family disciples."
Seeing that the Fifth Elder had finally sent someone to rescue the Chu family disciples, the Chu family head felt relieved and bowed to the Fifth Elder, saying, "Thank you, Fifth Elder, for your help."
The fifth elder said nothing, but just waved his hand.
The head of the Chu family was also a shrewd person. He naturally knew that the fifth elder did not get the original power from him and was in a bad mood. He did not stay any longer and left directly.
After Patriarch Chu left, the fifth elder called his eldest disciple over and instructed him, "Cancel the mission at the Ferocious Beast Garden and don't leave any traces behind."
"yes."
The eldest disciple agreed and left.
The Fifth Elder turned the bone over and over, muttering to himself, "This bone looks just like any other bone, so how can it possibly contain the power of origin?"
Ran Changle suppressed the heat in his eyes and said, "Grandpa, why don't we show this bone to Yu Zishu? Maybe he can see something."
The fifth elder's eyes flickered. He did not get the original power from the Chu family. Now his only hope was Yu Zishu.
He looked up at Ran Changle and asked, "How is your relationship with Yu Zishu lately?"
Ran Changle pretended to be shy and said, "Grandpa, why are you asking this kind of question again?"
"Shy." The Fifth Elder laughed, "It seems like progress is good."
Ran Changle stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Grandpa."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa won't tease you anymore." The Fifth Elder handed the finger bone to Ran Changle, "Give it to Yu Zishu. Maybe this bone is a treasure."
Ran Changle took the bone and was secretly delighted, but complained: "I just came back and haven't lived here for two days yet, and you're kicking me out again."
"Wait until Yu Zishu leaves, and then you can come back and stay as long as you want. Go quickly." The fifth elder urged.
………………
Yu Shu saw that Ran Changle had returned in less than a day and asked, "You finished it so quickly?"
"I hadn't even had time to stick a talisman when the Fifth Elder urged me to seduce you." Ran Changle said.
Hearing the unhappiness in Ran Changle's tone, Yu Shu took her hand and asked with concern: "What happened?"
Ran Changle took out the bone and said, "This was obtained by the Chu family head from my clansmen twenty years ago. It turned out to have the power of origin on it, which was absorbed by the Chu family ancestor.
They wiped out my people, used the original power of my people to achieve their own transformation into gods, and used the blood of my people to purify their spiritual roots.
Why do my people have to suffer this? Is it just because our blood is special?"
Ran Changle leaned on Yu Shu's shoulder and shed tears silently.
Only in front of Yu Shu could she and dared to reveal her vulnerable side.
Yu Shu hugged her gently and comforted her: "It's not your fault, nor is it your people's fault. It's their fault. They are greedy."
Yu Shu also hated them. Only when he came to Duanshan Sect did he find out that Yu Tianyao and Duanshan Sect had been colluding for a long time.
More than 20 years ago, during the turmoil in the Tianshu Realm, his immortal bones and spiritual roots were dug out, and he was forced to flee to the Tianquan Realm. This was also the work of the Duanshan Sect.
