The Future Where the Black Clan Was Doomed to Fall

Somewhere in a hidden underground location on the Black Snow Great Grassland.

Jiang Ding appeared once more, gently closed his eyes, and received the memories of what his avatar had experienced over the years.

"The Black Clan has completely lost control over more than ninety percent of the Black Snow Great Grassland's territory."

"True Monarch Divine Crow went out to slaughter once, but it had no effect. He could not restore his former ruling position. Hei Chengwu and the dozen-odd Direct Lineage Golden Core cultivators did not even dare leave Beast Spirit Immortal City. They were terrified of death."

"I wasn't there at the time."

Jiang Ding felt somewhat regretful and continued receiving the memories.

"One major reason the Black Clan lost control was that Hei Louxi and the other collateral Golden Cores, along with at least tens of thousands of collateral Foundation Establishment cultivators and several million collateral Qi Refining cultivators, completely abandoned their loyalty to the Black Clan. Those who changed their surnames did so, and those who sought refuge with others did so. They refused to pay the Direct Lineage Blood Tax again, or any taxes at all."

"It seems the Black Clan Collateral Branch was truly heartbroken."

"Coupled with the massive Rogue Cultivator forces that had existed from the start, ninety percent of the Black Snow Great Grassland had already broken free from Beast Spirit Immortal City's control. No cultivators there sent in taxes any longer."

"The Black Clan Direct Lineage that had originally lived in those regions—whether Golden Cores, Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators, or mortals—were all subjected to retaliatory slaughter by the Black Clan Collateral Branch and rogue cultivators. Hundreds of millions were killed or wounded, white bones piled high and corpses strewn across the land."

Jiang Ding sucked in a cold breath.
