The subtle hostility between the White Witch Tribe and the Black Witch Tribe left Chen Changsheng somewhat baffled.

To get to the bottom of it, Chen Changsheng immediately had the High Priest and the Black Witch Tribe's Clan Leader explain the entire matter clearly.

After learning the truth of the whole matter, Chen Changsheng spoke.

"The Black Witches and White Witches were originally one family. It was only because you were about to be unable to survive that you drove some of your people out."

"Yes. The ancestors of the Wu Clan left behind an ancestral precept."

"Whenever the Wu Clan encounters a difficulty it cannot resolve, the clan must split into two parts, one strong and one weak, their lives and deaths having nothing to do with each other."

Faced with the Black Witch Tribe Clan Leader's answer, Chen Changsheng did not know what to say for a moment.

For preserving the embers of a race, such a method was undoubtedly the most effective.

Yet it was also the most devoid of Human Sentiment.

Watching one's own family and friends die with one's own eyes was simply the cruelest punishment in the world.

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Judging by the way things are, you must have split only recently."

"What kind of situation made you choose this?"

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, the Black Witch Tribe Clan Leader hesitated before speaking.

"Though life in the Ten Thousand Mountains is difficult, our Wu Clan could still barely scrape by."

"But three years ago, a Thunder Beast entered our Wu Clan's territory. It has been relentlessly squeezing our living space."

"If we were not truly unable to survive, how could we possibly drive our own clansmen away?"

"A Thunder Beast?"

Hearing that name, Chen Changsheng immediately began searching through his memories.

Before long, he found information about Thunder Beasts.

Thunder Beasts were powerful members of the Beast Race. The Beast Race and the Demon Race were somewhat similar in essence, yet not entirely the same.

The Demon Race consisted of ordinary beasts that had taken human form, while the Beast Race was a race that had survived from ancient times until now.

They possessed bloodlines stronger than those of the Demon Race, and from the moment they were born, they had all manner of unbelievable Innate Divine Abilities.

Moreover, unlike the Demon Race, which was close to the Human Race, the Beast Race deeply hated humans and regarded the Demon Race as the shame of beastkind.

For they believed beast form was the strongest form beneath heaven and earth. Abandoning beast form to become human was a betrayal of one's race.

After sorting through the information about the Beast Race, Chen Changsheng said, "The Beast Race's strength is beyond doubt. Given the Wu Clan's situation, it will likely be difficult for you to resist."

"How about this? I'll help you find a new place to settle, and when the time comes, you help me with something as well. What do you say?"

"Many thanks, Divine Envoy."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, the High Priest agreed with a beaming smile.

Given the current circumstances, the White Witch Tribe would certainly be the one to perish in the end. Now that there was a chance to survive, the High Priest was naturally delighted.

Yet upon hearing this news, the Black Witch Tribe's Clan Leader was not very happy.

"Divine Envoy, you may not fully understand the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Miasma runs rampant here, while venomous insects and ferocious beasts are everywhere. Finding a suitable place to settle is harder than climbing to heaven."

"Where there's a will, there's a way. We'll look first and see whether we can find one."

"If we truly cannot find one, then you can follow your original ancestral precepts."

Since matters had already been put this plainly, the Black Witch Tribe's Clan Leader could only nod in agreement.

After all, he did not wish to see the White Witch Tribe's people die either.

"May I ask what else the Divine Envoy needs to do?"

"Our Wu Clan will certainly assist with all our strength."

"It's nothing much. I'm looking for something—a Bronze Ancient Hall. You should have seen it before, right?"

The moment those words were spoken, the expressions of the Wu Clan members changed instantly.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng asked, "What, is there some problem with this Bronze Ancient Hall?"

"Divine Envoy, we know of the Bronze Ancient Hall you speak of. That place was originally our Wu Clan's site of worship."

"But three years ago, the Thunder Beast took the Bronze Ancient Hall away. We are no match for the Thunder Beast."

Seeing the Clan Leader's troubled expression, Chen Changsheng instantly understood what they meant.

They must have thought he wanted them to retrieve the Bronze Ancient Hall.

At that thought, Chen Changsheng smiled. "As long as I know the Bronze Ancient Hall's whereabouts, that is enough. I will think of a way to handle the rest."

"Does anyone know where the Thunder Beast is?"

"I want to go speak with it. After all, not every member of the Beast Race is stubborn beyond redemption."

"I know where the Thunder Beast is! I'll take you there!"

The moment Chen Changsheng finished speaking, an honest-looking youth stepped forward.

Seeing the youth come forward, the Black Witch Tribe's Clan Leader immediately barked, "A Li, get back!"

"When adults are speaking, what are you interrupting for?"

Facing the Clan Leader's rebuke, the youth did not retreat. Instead, he shouted, "Father, I'm already sixteen. I only underwent my coming-of-age ceremony last month. I'm not a child anymore."

"I want to contribute to the Wu Clan. I don't want Sacrificial Grandfather and the others to die."

"Only I know the situation in Water Moon Grotto Heaven. I'm the best guide."

Hearing A Li's words, the Clan Leader's lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing further to stop him.

Going to meet the Thunder Beast was incomparably dangerous.

Though he was a father, he was also the Wu Clan's Clan Leader. He had to treat all the Wu Clan's people equally.

At that thought, the Clan Leader gritted his teeth and said, "Since you insist, then take the Divine Envoy to Water Moon Grotto Heaven."

"But remember this: the Divine Envoy does not know much about the Ten Thousand Mountains. You must protect the Divine Envoy well."

"Father, don't worry. I definitely won't let anything happen to the Divine Envoy."

After saying that, A Li excitedly came before Chen Changsheng.

"Divine Envoy, I'm ready. When do we leave?"

"Right now."

With that, Chen Changsheng grabbed A Li and vanished from where they stood.

"Divine Envoy, we shouldn't fly too high, or the ferocious beasts will attack us."

As A Li pointed out the way for Chen Changsheng, he also told him how to avoid the various dangers.

It had to be said that A Li's advice was quite useful.

Along the way, Chen Changsheng encountered many powerful ferocious beasts. Some of them gave even Chen Changsheng quite a headache.

The scenery around them rushed past, and A Li naturally envied Chen Changsheng's formidable strength immensely.

"Divine Envoy, you can help the Wu Clan escape this predicament, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled. "I can only help you in certain ways. Whether you can escape this predicament depends on your own efforts."

"In this world, relying on others will never compare to relying on yourself."

"Besides, to you, I am only a passerby. I will not remain here forever. In the days ahead, you can only rely on yourselves."

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng stopped before an enormous cave.

After straightening his clothes, Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Human Race cultivator Chen Changsheng requests an audience!"

Whoosh!

Splat!

The moment his words fell, a mass of unidentified liquid drenched Chen Changsheng from head to toe.

Immediately afterward, an enormous head poked out from the cave.

Looking at the unidentified liquid covering his body, Chen Changsheng froze.

If his guess was correct, this should be saliva.

"Lowly ant, get lost!"

Splat!

Another huge glob of saliva descended, giving Chen Changsheng another thorough drenching.

After standing stunned for a breath, Chen Changsheng silently wiped the saliva from his face, then directly took A Li and left.

Seeing Chen Changsheng's expressionless face, A Li cautiously asked, "Divine Envoy, are you all right?"

"I'm fine. But there's something I need to tell you: for now, I do not plan to leave."

"I will not leave the Ten Thousand Mountains until I kill this Thunder Beast."
