Xue Chou's Origins

Rumble.

The heavy door slowly opened.

Zhou Mu got up and went inside.

Behind the gate was a very large bathing pool.

A figure sat cross-legged among them.

What's particularly unique is that its legs are prominently displayed at the bottom of the pool.

"Mu'er."

The figure slowly spoke, the voice aged.

"The water at the bottom of the pool needs to be changed."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu nodded:

"There is still some left in the court; I will fetch it for my father."

"No," the figure said.

"We need something better."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu's gaze sharpened slightly, and he said:

"This may require some time to prepare."

"Hmm." The figure made a soft sound, then said:

"The balance of the four domains is no longer in place; we will take from elsewhere and use it for our dynasty."

"Jiang Yuanyin, even if you don't take that step, you will surely gain some opportunity. The Saint Battlefield has not appeared for a long time. He can wait, but I cannot."

Zhou Mu's expression trembled, and he said:

"Father, you..."

The figure sighed softly:

"If we cannot take this step, our time will be short."

Zhou Mu took a deep breath, handed over a jade talisman, and said:

"Father, this is news that I just received; it might be worth your attention."

The jade talisman flew to the figure.

A moment later, the figure's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Has this been confirmed?"

Zhou Mu shook his head, "Just received it, I'm sending someone over right now."

The figure closed its eyes again.

Judging from the movement of his fingers, he was clearly in a state of great turmoil.

If that's indeed the case, it's certainly worth a try.

Zhou Mu nodded, "The Cloud Heaven Holy Land has declined; investigating it shouldn't be too difficult."

"We'll have results soon."

The figure nodded slightly and said:

"It's feasible, but the cost is too high."

"Before the Saint Battlefield appears, the water at the bottom of the pool is the most important matter."

"Father, rest assured, I will handle this matter well," Zhou Mu replied.

"Go."

Since the incident at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

Then it seemed that there was no major news for a while.

Of course, for the vast majority of people, the scope of their attention is still very limited.

Looking across the Eastern Region, the most significant event was undoubtedly the Flower Spirit Sect.

However, there isn't much discussion about it anymore.

Since the arrival of the Black Eagle Army of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, things seemed to have become a foregone conclusion.

The other three factions did not send representatives back to participate in the struggle.

What exactly is happening inside is unknown.

All that is known is that even the disciples and elders of the Flower Spirit Sect are now unable to return to the sect.

That's all.

People have never shown much interest or enthusiasm for things that don't involve any twists or turns.

Now, more people are expecting other big things to happen.

However, major events obviously don't just happen by chance.

On this day, on Hidden Origin Peak.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the system shop.

Random quests are available for purchase again.

There's nothing to hesitate about; they're all just small tasks.

A flash of light, and the mission information popped up.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it and smiled slightly.

"Another chat task?"

However, he soon noticed the person he was chatting with.

Surprisingly, it wasn't a person.

It's a demon.

Talk to Xue Chou to learn about its origins.

"Want to chat with Xue Chou?"

Lu Changzhi smiled and shook his head, then stood up.

Speaking of Xue Chou Lai Li, I really don't know anything about him.

Perfect, I've got nothing better to do anyway.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi got up and walked towards the Trial Formation Stele.

Having disguised myself for so long, everything is second nature to me.

We walked back from a distance.

Wherever they went, the members of the Blood Demon Clan they encountered were all extremely polite.

Of course, there was more awe than anything else.

"Xue Ming, come."

The Xue Chou figure stepped out, looking on with satisfaction:

"You've improved so much again! With your efforts, our clan's great revenge will surely be just around the corner."

Lu Changzhi simply smiled to himself at this.

A boss who doesn't offer promises to his subordinates is not a good boss.

However, as for the so-called revenge...

He reserved his opinion on this matter.

This Xue Chou is still somewhat naive. Although the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is a holy land, even in its previous peak state, it is not something he can touch.

Of course, despite his thoughts, Lu Changzhi didn't show anything unusual.

The development of this place has been quite remarkable; it is no longer underground, and a blood-red palace has been built on the outside.

They entered the hall one after the other.

They soon started chatting.

Now, in Xue Chou's eyes, his subordinate Xue Ming is clearly his right-hand man.

A large portion of the resources obtained here today were brought back by Xue Ming.

In addition, Xue Ming's aura visibly strengthened.

Looking around this place, it's second only to myself.

There is no absolute path to extinction for demons.

The fact that it put me in such a perilous situation back then also allowed me to discover and give full play to such a genius.

At the current rate, the number of people and the overall strength of the tribe are steadily increasing.

It won't be long before we find a way to return to where we used to be and take our revenge.

Especially that so-called Sword Immortal of the Human Race.

It's not impossible to wash away past shame!

During the exchange, Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"Devil Master, how did we get here among the Human Race?"

From Xue Chou's perspective:

Why do you ask about this?

"We're still too slow. If we knew how we got here, we could do the same, gather our people for help, and assist us in our revenge."

Xue Chou listened without saying a word.

After a long silence, he slowly said:

"I don't actually know how I got here."

"Didn't you come voluntarily?" Lu Changzhi was taken aback.

Xue Chou nodded, looked at Lu Changzhi for a moment, and then began to explain.

Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing.

Perhaps it wasn't mentioned much before, or something else.

In short, once Xue Chou started talking, it was like cotton wool spilling out of his cotton-padded trousers, he kept babbling on and on.

However, things are not complicated.

Simply put

Hundreds of years ago, Xue Chou was still a child, living with a large group of Blood Devil, and had never seen a human.

Until one day...

As he went out, he and a group of demons sensed something unprecedented from a crack.

He didn't know what it was, but his most primal instincts made it clear to him.

It would be of immense benefit to me; I absolutely must have it!

The other demons thought the same thing.

It wasn't until after entering the crack that it was discovered.

There's no going back!

That was also my first encounter with humans, as I remember it.

And those humans are the ones who want to capture them.

Many of the Blood Devil Race who were traveling with them were taken away and controlled.

He was luckier; at the crucial moment, a powerful Devil Race entered through the rift.

The situation was once in complete chaos.

He had planned to go back, but found that the crack that had appeared had disappeared.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he ran away with the other demons.

The more you run, the fewer demons you encounter.

But in the end, he escaped.

Later, after calming down, I realized that I really couldn't go back.

Although separated from their own kind, the humans here are a valuable resource for cultivation.

The essence and blood of those hailed as Human Race geniuses are especially potent tonics.

In addition, he had a distinguished background and was skilled in the creation of the Devil-Nurturing Altar.

Ultimately, he decided to settle down.

They chose to stay in the Northern Region, far from the Western Region and Southern Region.

"Those damned people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land actually disguised a dangerous object as Blood Devil Treasure! Otherwise, how could they have gone to such lengths!"

The aura of the Xue Chou creature was noticeably more volatile.

Whenever he recalls the scene of Ming Zou excitedly carrying back the big pillar, it always makes the demon restless.

How can people be so wicked!

Seeing Xue Chou's reaction, Lu Changzhi secretly shook his head.

This is already considered a bargain.

At that time, Mu Fan's research was just beginning, and its power and lethality were limited.

If we could use Mu Fan's current achievements...

Putting aside custom-made ones, just look at that Iron Tree...

Um...

All I can say is, the sooner you use it, the sooner you can enjoy it.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi spoke at the opportune moment:

Why avoid the Western Region and Southern Region?
