Chapter 1149 Let Me Tell You From the Beginning
"It's not the Higanbana tribe that wants to kill you and your son, it's your uncle who wants to kill you all, just like Shuqi wants to kill you all today. They want to ensure that the power and status in their hands will not be shaken." said the Flower King.
"But my mother is your daughter. If you had protected her back then, she wouldn't have had to take me to hide and eventually get killed!"
"She is my daughter, yes, but she married a human and gave birth to a child. This is a taboo for the Higanbana tribe, and even the demon tribe! Go and ask around, who can marry across tribes and be safe and sound? From the beginning, what she did was something that no one could tolerate."
"She is unacceptable to others, and is she also unacceptable to you?"
"I am the king of red spider lilies, and also the king of the flower clan."
There are so many words in this sentence, and not a single one mentions family affection.
Yes, to him, family ties are not important at all.
At this point, Shen Lixian had already asked what he wanted to ask. He had done what his mother had asked him to do, and he had come back to see his grandfather. Now that all the tasks were completed, he had no reason to stay any longer.
Now that Manshuqi is seriously injured and the Higanbana tribe is in turmoil, they probably won't be able to reach out to the immortal world to cause trouble for him for many years.
Then, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Kao.
"Goodbye, Kao."
Seeing Shen Lixian was about to turn around, Hua Wang frowned.
"You haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?"
"Grandpa, do you have any other advice?"
"You think I'm being cruel by not caring about you and your son, don't you?"
Shen Lixian didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
"How did you become such a sentimental person after wandering around and being bullied in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years?"
So, he thinks that since he has been living in hiding in the world of immortal cultivation, he should grow up to be ungrateful to his relatives?
"Even your mother doesn't have as many messy ideas as you do."
Shen Lixian was stunned.
"You don't really think that your mother disregarded everything, overcame all difficulties, and even defected from the Higanbana tribe to give birth to you because of love, right?"
Hua Wang could tell from Shen Lixian's expression that this was what he thought.
"If she really loved you so much, why didn't she go to find your father when she could go to the immortal world with the star disk in her hand? And why did she never mention your father? Even her last words were to return to the Higanbana tribe, and she never asked you to go find your father?"
At this time, Shen Lixian, who was influenced by his mother and habitually ignored the fact that he had a father, discovered that something was wrong.
It is obviously so difficult to combine across boundaries, so if it is not true love, how could they disregard everything?
But she never seemed to mention her father from beginning to end, as if this person did not exist.
Even when he asked her about it when they were little, she just said he was far away.
"My child, let me tell you from the beginning."
Hua Wang stood up from his seat, walked down step by step, and came in front of Shen Lixian.
"You should know where the Higanbana tribe came from."
"The underworld."
"Yes, we were originally flowers blooming by the Forgotten River in the underworld. Later, I didn't want to spend my life guarding the Forgotten River for generations, so I betrayed the Higanbana tribe in the underworld with a group of like-minded people, used the star disk to open a passage to the demon world, and came to the demon world.
When we first arrived, the Higanbana tribe had difficulty adapting to the demon world and were besieged by other tribes in the demon world. We relied on our strong hard power and the unity of our tribe members to fight our way out of the demon world and gain a firm foothold.
In the demon world, we can practice without hindrance, and after we become demons, we have the opportunity to ascend like other demons. Although no one has ascended yet, there are already several people in the tribe who are in seclusion during the tribulation period.
We have not been in the demon world for long. If we stay a little longer, we will welcome the first person from the Higanbana tribe to ascend to heaven. Maybe it will be your other uncle, or maybe it will be me, your grandfather."
When saying this, Kao's eyes were filled with excitement.
It can be seen that they really do not want to stay by the Forgotten River for generations, living a life without freedom and future, guarding things that do not belong to them day after day, wasting their lives, which is meaningless.
"But we paid a heavy price in the process of leaving Wangchuan, forcibly transforming into monsters, and adapting to the monster world. The price was so heavy that the Higanbana tribe, which was already one of the four major tribes in the monster world, has dwindled in numbers. We have only achieved our current status because of our strength."
Having said that, Hua Wang turned around and put his hand on Shen Lixian's shoulder.
At that moment, he exerted force with his palms, and the demonic power was quickly injected into Shen Lixian's body, pressing him so hard that he could hardly stand up straight.
Is this the power of the Tribulation Crossing Stage? So strong!
But Kao quickly withdrew his demonic power, and the smile on his face became even more intense than before, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
“Do you know what the biggest cost is?”
"have no idea."
"You've seen Shurou, right? Have you seen her when she's crazy and deformed?"
"Yes."
"This is the price the Higanbana tribe has to pay for leaving the underworld and being forcibly transformed into monsters."
Kao sighed.
"The flowers of the other shore grow by the Forgotten River. The flowers bloom without leaves, and the leaves grow without flowers. Flowers and leaves are two different concepts. But in the underworld, all the flowers of the other shore bloom at the same time, and their leaves grow at the same time.
That is to say, when all the red spider lilies see each other, they always have the same consciousness and do not affect each other.
Besides, if he stayed by the Forgotten River and didn't go anywhere, there wouldn't be any problem with having dual consciousness.
At most, it is like someone using your body while you are asleep, and you return it when you wake up. If you don't respond to the enemy or do anything, it won't have any impact.
But this situation is totally unfeasible in the demon world, because apart from us, no one in the demon world has dual consciousness.
When dealing with other races, the influence of dual consciousness is huge and it simply won't work.
In addition, due to the changes in our physical conditions caused by forced transformation, our dual consciousnesses here cannot be separated as clearly as in the underworld. As our strength increases, our two consciousnesses often overlap and cause chaos, leading to madness.
We are obviously very strong, but our own limitations have caused our Higanbana tribe to always be at the bottom of the four major tribes.
Therefore, we can only do our best to kill the other consciousness in the body and leave only one.
This process is extremely painful, because it is equivalent to killing oneself. However, only those who have experienced countless pains and endured this pain can leave the Higanbana City.
Otherwise, if this secret is known to outsiders, what awaits us, the Higanbana tribe, is a devastating disaster!"
When Hua Wang said this, Shen Lixian finally knew the whole story, and he was shocked by everything he knew.
"We have been struggling in this pain for thousands of years, and finally..."
Kao turned around and smiled at him.
"I've been waiting for you."
