Dagan Imperial Clan, Corpse Immortal Sect

Chu Xuanao's eyes narrowed, a question lingering in his mind: Should I know this?

Is there more to this story?

Chu Xuanao asked, full of doubts.

"What does the ancestor mean by this? What should I know?"

Looking at Chu Xuanao, Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, just staring without saying a word. His expression showed a rare look of indecisiveness. He was still struggling with his decision, and one could even say that he was a little anxious at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo realized that the Prince of Qin truly did not know these things.

But he had already said all that, Chu Mo knew very well that even if he didn't tell the Prince of Qin, the Prince of Qin would eventually discover the trickery in these conversations if he carefully reviewed them later. He was just caught off guard by being asked this question so suddenly.

The Prince of Qin knew nothing about it, meaning the Imperial Clan hadn't told him about it, and this person wasn't involved in it either.

When he first asked about Dong Xuanfeng's corpse, the Prince of Qin nodded without hesitation. He thought the Prince of Qin knew about this and had guessed what he was going to do, which was why he spoke so recklessly.

Now they're in a dilemma: should they tell the Prince of Qin or not? This is the biggest secret of his Imperial Clan.

Chu Mo was just overthinking things. A thoughtful person will consider things more carefully before acting or speaking. When talking to others, they will unconsciously try to find another layer of meaning in what is said.

However, such people sometimes make things worse when talking to seemingly sincere people who have no ulterior motives, because what those people say may not have any other meaning or purpose, but is just a simple expression.

Your imagination might push things in an uncontrollable direction, just like now.

It was just a corpse; Chu Xuanao didn't care. Even if Dong Xuanfeng were still alive, he wouldn't care, which is why he was so casual when Chu Mo asked.

The ancestor suffered a century of humiliation, and that Dong Xuanfeng man died too quickly. He was not satisfied and wanted to vent his anger by whipping the corpse. The Dong Clan dared to do such a thing and deserved to die. Anyway, he was not one of his people, so it didn't matter. That was Chu Xuanao's thinking.

Even he didn't expect that such a small matter could uncover other secrets.

Chu Xuanao Chu Mo, felt a chill run down his spine. He felt so uneasy that he almost couldn't resist using the things Yuan Tiangang had left him.

But Chu Xuanao knew that this was just the pressure of eye contact; if there were any real danger, that thing would have activated on its own long ago.

So what is it about the Corpse Immortal Sect and the Imperial Clan that could have changed this ancestor like this?

Imperial Clan, Corpse Immortal Sect?

Wrong.

Chu Xuanao was suddenly stunned, as if a muffled thunder had exploded in his mind. He seemed to have figured it out. If Ancestor Chu Mo could say such a thing, then the Imperial Clan and the Corpse Immortal Sect must be extraordinary.

Consider the Imperial Clan and the Corpse Immortal Sect; these two forces are completely incomparable in the world, and can even be said to be on different levels. Even when talking about the patriarch of the Corpse Immortal Sect, he still has this expression.

People say that the Dagan Imperial Clan has been slowly declining for nearly a thousand years, and the Corpse Immortal Sect has only been established for a little over two thousand years. Ancestor Chu Mo is the Ninth Elder of the Corpse Immortal Sect.

Connecting these pieces of information, Chu Xuanao's mind became clear, and the least likely became the most likely.

Otherwise, this ancestor wouldn't have said those words, nor would he have had that expression.

But this result was unbelievable. Chu Xuanao couldn't hide his shock, it was evident on his face, and he seemed to be completely stunned.

Seeing the Prince of Qin of Qin's expression, Chu Mo knew he had guessed it all. There was no need to worry anymore; Chu Mo hadn't said anything, but the King already knew everything, at least 80-90% of the truth.

Although this situation is unbelievable, it is the truth.

"Ancestor?"

Hearing Chu Xuanao's deep voice, and looking into those complex eyes that seemed to want to confirm his answer.

Chu Mo finally nodded and decided to tell the truth, though it didn't really matter whether he told or not.

"You guessed right, the Corpse Immortal Sect was orchestrated behind the scenes by my Dagan Imperial Clan. The entire Corpse Immortal Sect was established by my Imperial Clan."

"Why!!!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Chu Xuanao's heart sank, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, as if his spirits had been completely deflated.

Seeing the Prince of Qin of Qin's expression, Chu Mo was somewhat puzzled. Even if he couldn't believe it, it shouldn't be like this!

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Chu Xuanao took a few deep breaths, quickly composed himself, and asked calmly.

"Ancestor, I am fine, but this answer is truly unbelievable!"

Who would have thought that the Corpse Immortal Sect, one of the three great evil cults in the world, would be the work of my Dagan Imperial Clan?

"So, the Ancestor was originally assigned to work within the Corpse Immortal Sect?"

Although Chu Xuanao's voice sounded calm, a tremor could still be heard in it. This answer meant a lot to him, much more than what Ancestor Chu Mo knew.

However, this was not the time to think about such things. Chu Xuanao suppressed his inner turmoil and controlled his outburst. Right now, he still needed to learn from this Ancestor Chu Mo about the fruits of the Imperial Clan's thousands of years of cultivation.

Chu Mo nodded and said.

"That's right, you've already guessed it, so there's nothing I can't say. However, this is arguably the biggest secret of my Imperial Clan, and you should be aware of the consequences."

Chu Xuanao said solemnly.

"Rest assured, Ancestor. As a member of the Imperial Clan, I should be proud of the Imperial Clan. The interests of our Dagan are the top priority. The Imperial Clan has been planning this for so long."

"I am His Majesty's Sixth Son, the current Prince of Qin. How could I not know the gravity of this matter? Even if I die, this matter will never leave my mouth to be heard by outsiders."

At the same time, Chu Xuanao thought to himself, "If anyone is looking for death and sends themselves here, then don't blame me for disregarding the Imperial Clan."

Of course, Yuan Tiangang, Zhu Wushi, Li Xunhuan, Ghost Servant, Lu Bu, and others were all loyal to him, so they couldn't be considered outsiders.

Chu Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"I was indeed assigned to the Corpse Immortal Sect by the Imperial Clan. In fact, it wasn't just me; throughout history, our Imperial Clan has selected people to be sent to the Corpse Immortal Sect. A significant amount of the Imperial Clan's resources have also flowed to the Corpse Immortal Sect."

"From the time my Imperial Clan began to secretly build its power more than two thousand years ago, the Corpse Immortal Sect has also grown from a small force. With the secret support of the Imperial Clan, it has gradually become one of the three major evil sects in the world."

"The key figures within the Corpse Immortal Sect are all powerful members of my Imperial Clan. The sect's affairs and actions towards various factions are all orchestrated behind the scenes by my Dagan Imperial Clan."

Chu Xuanao, his voice filled with questions.

"Ancestor, everyone says that the Corpse Immortal Sect is one of the few top-tier forces in the world, so does that mean that my Imperial Clan, besides the [Dragon Valley] Secret Realm, also controls another Secret Realm?"

"Furthermore, you said that members of my Imperial Clan family have joined the Corpse Immortal Sect throughout the ages, and those in charge are all powerful members of my Imperial Clan. It is inevitable that they would take action over a thousand years. However, the aura of their bloodline will not change. How could powerful figures from all sides of the world not notice it?"

"Has my Imperial Clan been operating behind the scenes all along, with no one making a move?"

Not taking action? That was clearly impossible. Chu Xuanao didn't say these words aloud. The Imperial Clan would definitely have a way to conceal their presence. Of course, Chu Xuanao's biggest concern was still the Secret Realm.

[Dragon Valley] is the name of the Secret Realm of the Dagan Imperial Clan that he visited, but Chu Xuanao has never been there. He has only read the records of the Imperial Clan about the Secret Realm, and he is completely clueless about the specifics.
