Lu Jingzhi curiously asked, "Since the demon race was once a top-tier existence, why is it gradually declining now?"
Yan An sighed softly and replied with a gloomy expression: "Alas... This has been a problem that has troubled the entire demon race for tens of thousands of years."
"Ever since the catastrophe that struck the continent tens of thousands of years ago, no one has been able to fully inherit the bloodline of the sacred beast."
"As time went by, this originally powerful bloodline power became increasingly weak, eventually leading to a continuous decline in the overall strength of the demon race." His words revealed endless regret and helplessness.
She continued, "Being able to inherit half is already a very good situation for me."
"After all, not everyone has the opportunity to obtain such a rare and powerful bloodline inheritance."
"However, among the bloodlines of the Four Sacred Beasts, the most miserable is undoubtedly the Xuanwu lineage! They are now almost on the verge of extinction."
"Xuanwu..." When Lu Jingzhi heard this word, the evil Xuanwu he encountered in Xuanhai immediately appeared in his mind, and the anger in his heart surged up unconsciously.
Yan An, who was standing by, didn't notice that Lu Jingzhi's thoughts were drifting away, and continued to talk to himself: "And from what I know, the black dragon's real purpose is actually to obtain the power of bloodline and the throne of the demon race."
"For this reason, it didn't hesitate to collude with the Evil Soul Clan..."
Before he could finish his words, several figures suddenly descended from the sky.
Looking closely, it turned out that several people from Jianqi Sect had found the Lu Mansion.
The leading man was dressed in a robe as white as snow, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree.
As soon as he landed, he used his mental power to test Lu Jingzhi's strength.
However, when his mental power touched Lu Jing, it was as if he had fallen into a foggy abyss and could not see anything clearly.
Lu Jingzhi naturally also keenly sensed the other party's detection behavior, and sneered in his heart: [Humph, as expected, they come with bad intentions! ]
[We just met, and you can't wait to find out more about me.]
"Luckily, I had my wife cast a mental spell beforehand, cleverly concealing my true cultivation level. Otherwise, I really don't know what these guys would have done to me."
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Lu Jingzhi's lips.
The leading man in white's expression changed slightly when he saw that he could not see Lu Jingzhi's strength, but he quickly regained his composure and put on a polite and humble smile.
"Master Lu, we are from Jianqi Sect. We have come here today to congratulate the Lu family for defeating the Xuanyan Mansion." After saying this, he took out a gift from his storage ring, which was a white gem, and handed it to Lu Jingzhi with both hands.
Lu Jingzhi glanced casually in the direction of the orb, and saw that the orb was like a mysterious purple gem, sometimes flashing a dazzling purple light, and sometimes retracting the light.
Then, Lu Jingzhi turned his head slightly and winked gently at the disciple of Yuyan Village beside him.
The disciple understood what he meant and hurried forward to take the carefully prepared gift from Lu Jingzhi.
"Second Elder, please go and entertain these distinguished guests." Lu Jingzhi said expressionlessly.
Boss Xu, who had been standing aside and remained silent, immediately nodded respectfully upon hearing this and said, "As you command!"
Then he turned and walked towards the people who were coming forward, with just the right smile on his face and a welcoming gesture.
Seeing this situation, the people from Jianqi Sect couldn't help but feel unhappy.
It was obvious that they were looked down upon - Lu Jingzhi, the leader of a faction, did not even come out in person to welcome them into the mansion.
Instead, he sent a so-called second elder to deal with the matter.
Although he was extremely angry, the leading disciple still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, then followed Boss Xu into the mansion without saying a word.
At this moment, the eldest disciple of Jianqi Sect came up with an idea.
He secretly used his mental power to detect Boss Xu who was leading the way ahead, hoping to find out the other party's strength in this way.
If we could understand the true strength of this second elder, perhaps we could infer the range of Lu Jingzhi's strength.
