A giant black turtle galloped towards the depths of the great marsh, its speed so great that it left a blur in its wake.
Shang Jiawei, Lin Zhan, Li Siyi, Dian Wei, Zhao Zilong, and the five Iron brothers, who had taken human form.
The group of five, with Wu Xiong riding on Xiao Hei's back, were rapidly advancing towards the two great Lizardmen clans in the heart of the great marsh.
Feeling Xiao Hei's speed, Shang Jiawei nodded and said to Lin Zhan,
"Zhan'er, this Xiao Hei is a hybrid of Xuanwu and the Void Xuan Turtle, isn't he? Among the entire Xuanwu clan, only that scoundrel Han Fei Xuan Yidao could do such a reckless thing."
Xiao Hei turned his head to look at Shang Jiawei and said,
"Old Ancestor, although my father is indeed a scoundrel and did things quite recklessly, he never cared for me all these years I was left alone. I don't even know how I was born, but he is still my father. Speaking of him like that right in front of me isn't very nice, you know."
"Haha, Xiao Hei, don't be so indignant. By seniority, Xuan Yidao has to call me Uncle. Moreover, do you know how Xuan Yidao got that nickname, 'One Saber'?"
Shang Jiawei chuckled as he looked at Xiao Hei.
Seeing the curious eyes of the others, Shang Jiawei continued,
"That's right, Xuan Yidao learned his saber techniques in our Great Shang dynasty. Back then, my father and grandfather were busy fighting the Water Tribe, so I spent most of my time teaching Xuan Yidao saber techniques."
"Xiao Hei, considering this connection, is there anything wrong with me calling that scoundrel Xuan Yidao a bit of a problem?"
Xiao Hei's eyes lit up instantly. It turned out this old ancestor was also his nominal master.
"There's nothing wrong with it. No matter how you scold my father, Old Ancestor, it's perfectly fine. That old turtle deserves to be scolded. Who knows where he's off fooling around, abandoning his own son."
Hearing Xiao Hei's words filled with resentment, Shang Jiawei shook his head and said,
"Xuan Yidao is a ruthless person... uh, a ruthless turtle. He had the potential to ascend to the imperial throne in ancient times. But because he clashed with the Divine Race, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation, intending to recover in this life and lead the charge to their ancestral home."
Xiao Hei and Zhan were both stunned: "Old Ancestor, why is it the Divine Race again? It seems our hatred for the Divine Race is considerable."
"Bah! Those sons of bitches are nothing but snake oil salesmen. Our hatred is deep, especially for our Great Shang. If it weren't for those guys from the Divine Race fooling a bunch of weaklings, our Great Shang wouldn't have fallen so early."
Shang Jiawei spat out a thick glob of phlegm and said angrily.
Seeing the gaze of Xiao Hei and the others, Shang Jiawei continued,
"Xiao Hei's mother is the little princess of the Void Xuan Turtle clan. Although the Void Xuan Turtle clan has a small number of individuals, they are extremely powerful, boasting five Great Emperors and a Xuan Turtle Old Ancestor. They are a formidable race."
"The strength of the Xuan Turtle Old Ancestor is not inferior to our Hua Xia's Patriarch Fuxi. Therefore, back then, those sons of bitches from the Divine Race, to prevent the Void Xuan Turtle clan from intervening, kidnapped this little princess, who is Xiao Hei's mother."
"Xuan Yidao, in order to avenge his wife, has been locked in a bitter struggle with the Divine Race ever since. Later, the Divine Race planned to deploy their Emperors to eliminate Xuan Yidao."
"As a result, your Great Emperor ancestor, Xuan Lao Si, directly intervened and eliminated four of the Divine Race's Emperors. He then issued a warning: any Emperor who dared to attack the Xuanwu clan would face his wrath. At the same time, Xiao Hei's maternal grandfather, one of the five Great Emperors of the Void Xuan Turtle clan and Xuan Yidao's father-in-law, also declared his protection for his son-in-law. This is why no one dared to completely exterminate Xuan Yidao."
After listening to Shang Jiawei's long discourse, Xiao Hei fell into deep contemplation. After a long while, he turned to Shang Jiawei and said,
"Old Ancestor, how is my mother now?"
Shang Jiawei sighed and said, "At that time, your mother, to avoid causing trouble for the Void Xuan Turtle clan, burned her own soul. Although several old ancestors managed to preserve her life with secret techniques, she has not yet awakened."
"When your mother was burning her soul, she desperately sent you into the void. Because you were not fully developed, you have been able to hatch and grow over the years. Your father has also been searching for you and a way to cure your mother all this time."
Lin Zhan, sensing Xiao Hei's sadness, glared with wide eyes and said,
"Hei Zi, don't be sad. Our feud with the Divine Race is irreconcilable. When Big Brother finds an opportunity, he will definitely destroy the Divine Race and avenge you."
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "That's right, Big Brother. We've come this far, from Bronze to where we are now. Which of our enemies has ever lived well? It's just a Divine Race. As long as we have time, we can definitely destroy them."
Shang Jiawei looked at the actions of Lin Zhan and the two with relief and said,
"It's good to have this confidence. What is the Divine Race? The grudges left from ancient times will be settled with them this time."
"This is why Xuan Lao Si endured the backlash of destiny rather than falling into slumber, and has been continuously seeking trouble with the Divine Race."
"Also, Zhan, that dormant plane of the Divine Race you brought back last time, that's why Old Ancestor risked thunder punishment to obliterate those sleeping Divine Race members."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "After I finish off the Lizardmen, I'll go back and research how to devour Rommel. Once we revive a few more Old Ancestors, I'll arrange a grand event to let us wash away our shame."
Xiao Hei and Lin Zhan knew that Lin Zhan always kept his word and was daring and reckless.
Back when he had just awakened his bloodline and ascended to Bronze, he dared to kill a Silver.
At the peak of Bronze, he had cunningly killed several early Gold-ranked cultivators.
As for the power of the Divine Race, it was nothing major. It would just take more time, consume more resources, and require more troublesome methods. Sudan Novel Network
Lin Zhan, sensing Xiao Hei's state, felt relieved and joked,
"Hei Zi, I never imagined you had such a strong background."
Before Xiao Hei could speak, Shang Jiawei chuckled and said,
"Zhan'er, in fact, none of you young scoundrels have a weak background. Which family doesn't have a few Great Emperor-level powerhouses guarding it?"
Lin Zhan listened to Shang Jiawei's words and carefully considered it. It was indeed so.
His own family, starting from Patriarch Zi Qi, had at least two Great Emperors, let alone Patriarch Zi Qi's elders. Were they not all Great Emperor-level existences?
Xiao Jin's Dragon clan.
Xiao Hei's Xuanwu clan and Void Xuan Turtle clan.
Xiao Bao's Man-Eating Beast clan, there was no need to say more. The Man-Eating Beast Old Ancestor and Patriarch Chi You were both berserkers who would find a fight even when idle.
Xiao Ji's Dragon Sparrow clan and Nether Crow clan. One was a fierce bandit, the other a charlatan. Especially the Nether Crow clan, they were a race with a Nether Crow Old Ancestor in charge.
Xiao Kong's Zhu Yan clan, the name 'War Beast' was not for nothing.
