Chapter 55: The Battle between Humans and Demons There is a deep blood feud between us.
The battle between humans and demons a thousand years ago.
As the continent's foremost aristocratic family, the Qingfeng clan bore the brunt of the conflict between humans and demons. This war raged for a full twenty years, leaving almost no demons alive. While humans emerged victorious, the price they paid was horrific.
After this war, the Qingfeng clan completely disappeared. Some said they died in the war, but in any case, they were never seen again.
According to the news they received a few days ago, Mu Qing's mother was from the Wenhe clan, which had also participated in the human-demon war a thousand years ago.
Thousands of years ago, the Qingfeng and Wenhe families were close friends.
Wenhe also suffered heavy losses after the war, leaving only a pair of children alive: Wenhe Luguang and Wenhe Batian. Shortly after the human-demon war, the two siblings vanished from the world, their whereabouts unknown.
Ten years ago, Wen He Luoguang's bloodline surfaced in Qingya Liu County. This event caused a sensation, roiling the entire Xiyao region. The imperial court mobilized a large force, including Xiao Su, to search for him. However, by the time they arrived, Wen He Luoshang had vanished without a trace.
Even until now, the imperial court has not given up the search for Wenhe Luoshang.
As the saying goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." As two of the most powerful families before the Human-Demon War, their exceptional talent and bloodline were unmatched. However, a genius without the protection of their family was extremely dangerous. Everyone coveted them, and everyone wanted to become one.
Geniuses become geniuses, and those who can change are formidable because they can grow. If they can't grow, they are just the meat of the crop in the eyes of others.
Wenhe Luoshang had actually been keeping a very low profile since her appearance in the world. She had concealed her identity, disguising herself as a man and using the alias Luoshang. If it weren't for an unintentional fight where her unsheathed Liuguang Sword was spotted, she wouldn't have been exposed.
That glittering sword was the spiritual weapon of Wen Heluoguang. Thousands of years ago, Wen Heluoguang was also a well-known figure, known to everyone.
After Wen He Luoshang was recognized, perhaps in order to avoid being hunted down by the imperial court and various forces, she simply chose to hide herself in the dark and later became Mu Qi's wife.
This matter was a top secret in Zuiwenglou and almost no one knew about it.
The surface of the lake around Li Jing gradually turned into ice. His eyes darkened, and he said slowly and complexly, "There must be something strange going on."
Qi Feng nodded and agreed, "If she is indeed from the Qingfeng lineage, then there might be some kind of seal within her body." He turned around, clenched his palm tightly, and said excitedly, "Master, you are so lucky. I didn't expect that a random woman you found might be from the Qingfeng lineage. The Qingfeng lineage cultivates pure yang, which is specifically designed to suppress evil spirits. Even if Mu Qing can't cultivate, she has a pure yang constitution. She can suppress the evil spirit in your body."
Li Jing's expression turned slightly ugly, and ripples appeared faintly around his fingers underwater.
Qi Feng suddenly covered his mouth. He suddenly realized that something was wrong and continued, "But if she is really Qingfeng's bloodline, then there is a deep blood feud between us."
In the past, because of the Qingfeng clan, many monsters of the monster clan died, and even the monster king was killed by Qingfeng Yuan, the head of the Qingfeng clan.
In fact, it is not only a feud between the two families, but also a feud that is almost threatening to destroy the entire family.
Li Jing's expression suddenly became even uglier.
Qi Feng said seriously, "We can use her, but if she never cultivates, then that's fine. But if she ever cultivates, then the Qingfeng bloodline must not be lost."
The tragedy of history cannot be repeated. If the Qingfeng bloodline grows up, with their strength and cold-bloodedness, it will be too terrifying.
Thousands of years ago, the unparalleled love story between the demon king Zongbei and the clan leader Qingfeng Yuan was known to everyone. Qingfeng Yuan, the continent's foremost genius, possessed immense strength and a promising future. Yet, this prodigy, held in high regard by the Qingfeng clan, fell in love with Zongbei, the young demon clan leader of the time.
No one knew that war would break out.
No one knew that they would become enemies in the end, and so unexpectedly.
The war raged for twenty years, and the most brutal battle was the one between Zong Bei and Qing Feng Yuan. Rather than calling it brutal, it was a complete loss for the entire demon race, for Zong Bei's death was bizarre. He was killed within three rounds of fighting with Qing Feng Yuan. In just three blows, he was slain by Qing Feng Yuan's sword.
When they fell in love, Qingfeng Yuan was in his twenties and Zongbei was not yet a demon king. When they fought each other, Qingfeng Yuan had already become the head of the family and Zongbei had also become a demon king.
Twenty years, no matter how talented Qingfeng Yuan was, how could he kill Zong Bei in just three rounds of fighting? This is simply unbelievable.
So the only answer is that Zong Bei was willing to be killed by her, and he hardly fought back.
But behind this seemingly beautiful love story is the entire defeated demon race.
After Zong Bei was killed, the entire demon clan fell into despair, and the war that had lasted for twenty years ended not long after.
Hatred flashed in Qi Feng's eyes.
If Zong Bei had not died, how could the demon race be wiped out, and how could they have fallen to the point where they have no place to stay?
All this hatred comes from the breeze.
Such a deep blood feud!!!
There was silence in the cold pool, and neither of them spoke.
After a while, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "I am not Zong Bei, and she is not Qing Feng Yuan."
Qi Feng pursed his lips and said with some fear: "If you are not Zong Bei, she can never become Qing Feng Yuan."
This sentence destined Mu Qing to be an ordinary person in her life, or a pampered toy.
This is already her best destination. She is destined not to have children in this life. A child with Qingfeng's bloodline cannot possibly be united with the demon king of the demon clan.
Thousands of years ago, there was a conflict between the Demon King and the head of the Qingfeng family. Thousands of years later, history is surprisingly similar.
For some reason, Qi Feng felt anxious when he thought of this.
"My Lord, to prevent future trouble, you should just kill her after some time. It's better to kill her by mistake than to let her go."
"Get out." Li Jing's voice was so cold that it chilled people to the bone.
Qi Feng's eyes were a little red. He was no longer as noisy as before and quietly left the cold pool.
Li Jing was the only one left in the cold pool. His reflection in the water swayed slightly, causing the face beneath his mask to distort.
He stared at the surface of the pool motionlessly, as if looking at another person's face through a mirror.
"Plop." The tail swept lightly in the water, shattering the reflection on the lake into pieces.
Li Jing's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Mu Xingchen, what should I do with you?"
He originally wanted to find other ways to allow her to practice at any cost.
If she couldn't cultivate, her lifespan would likely only reach eighty, or at most a hundred. However, cultivators can live for thousands of years, especially the Moon Clan, whose lifespans are even longer than humans...
Li Jing's pupils were faintly golden, and when he opened his eyes again, his pupils were completely erect.
The entire cold pool was completely covered by cold fog, and nothing could be seen inside.
"Mu Xingchen..." The hoarse voice spread throughout the cold pool, sending chills down people's spines.
…
Mu Xingchen was currently confronting six people at the door.
"Get out of the way." Mu Xingchen said with a polite smile.
The six men in black looked at each other, and one of them said nervously and fearfully, "Girl, are you...really going out?"
Mu Xingchen nodded.
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the men in black. They had not forgotten how miserable the last person who came to work for her was now...
He wiped the sweat from his head and said hesitantly, "Girl, can you...can you please not go...don't...don't go to that...place..." He spoke for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
Mu Xingchen sighed and continued, "You mean Zui Qinglou?"
The six people's eyes suddenly widened and sweat poured down their faces in fear.
Mu Xingchen said politely, "I won't go, don't worry, brothers and sisters."
Just when the six of them breathed a sigh of relief, they were frightened by the name Mu Xingchen called them afterwards and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss, please don't be polite." The man in black on the far left said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The woman in black on the far right said, "Aren't you going out? Let's not waste the girl's time."
They all exchanged glances, then made way and said in unison: "Girl, we will hide behind you to protect you."
Mu Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. She really didn't like humanoid surveillance cameras. It would be better to put the person in the dark without telling her. At least she could pretend not to know.
"Um... can you take me flying out?" She couldn't possibly go through the dog hole again.
The girl in black on the far right came over and said, "Sorry for the inconvenience, young lady." Then she took her and flew out.
Mu Xingchen yawned and walked straight to the largest restaurant in Kyoto.
At this hour, the streets were bustling with people, filled with the cries of vendors, and there were some novel things that even Mu Xingchen had never seen before.
Mu Xingchen walked very slowly along the way, admiring those things as she walked towards the restaurant. It was not that she was really interested in those things, but because her legs were still sore.
"Damn it." She cursed again unconsciously.
Xiao Qi noticed her abnormality and laughed, "What's wrong? Are you bloated from eating too much delicious food?"
Mu Xingchen almost lost her breath when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Xiao Qi!!! Where did you learn these things!!!"
Xiao Qi: "Novel, didn't we read it together?"
Mu Xingchen choked. She angrily said, "Asshole! Don't watch it anymore. It's really hindering my wisdom." After saying that, she said in a tangled manner, "The main thing is, do you know where the problem lies?"
Xiao Qi continued, "So what's the problem?"
Mu Xingchen shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course it's because I don't have any cultivation yet. Otherwise, wouldn't his and my situations be different? Xiao Qi, don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Xiao Qi: "...What you said makes sense."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Mu Xingchen: What should I do if there is a deep blood feud?
Li Jing: Then die again.
Mu Xingchen: ...There's no hope for a love-brained person.
