Jian Ling felt perplexed on hearing the story, It was a huge information, The formation of a race, this was definitely not something anybody back at the Tu kingdom would have known.
But Jian ling also felt something else, he felt like laughing, He had noticed that the old man had once again deviated the storyline. ' Looks like this old man is a storyteller ' Jian ling thought inwardly, and as if to further make Jian ling feel funny, The Old man went ahead to say " Chai, seems like I have yet again been lost down the memory lane, Sorry for that". Jian Ling couldn't hold it anymore and busted out into heavy laughter which only served to get a light tap on the head as a response from the old man.
" Yeah, so back to the original story, the demons who descended back then saw their selves as higher beings and so wanted to colonise the entire duoluo world so that we would serve both them and the celestial clan" The old man paused at this point as if waiting for something, and without disappointment, he got what he was waiting for.
" Hmmfhh " the old man got exactly what he was waiting for as Jian ling let out a chuckle immediately after the old man spoke. His chuckle sounded like letting out breath of air, but there was this hint of arrogant and unbridled will in it, ' Higher beings, Humph, they better pray I don't encounter them behaving like that when I become powerful because i would definitely be sure to teach them a lesson '. it wasn't that Jian ling was arrogant, He was just furious, who would be okay hearing people declaring themselves higher beings to your entire race, that was the height of humiliation.
" Exactly, That was naturally humans reaction towards their claim, This made them furious and they started a war thinking we were to weak, They felt we were to impudent to dare to speak to them like that. At first it was a small scale war were only people at the level of the strongest humans back then participated, but surprisingly they actually lost. Out of anger their strongest warriors interfered and their strength left humans in awe, Just when humans were on the blink of extinction after a lot of ours cultivators had died, Something flabbergasting happened, It is said that a ball of light appeared from no where. In history book, It was said that the ball of light made all Inhabitant of our world go soft, They were like children in the midst of their mother, It somehow sealed all demons to the forest, making it that they couldn't leave the place, but neither could the inhabitant of our world enter. It was until of recent traces of them were seen in the outside world. It was later the woman our young master fell in love with was found out to be one of them, and she even seemed to have a noble identity" The old man spoke softly, His voice was heavily embedded with sadness.
Jian ling could already feel his earlier idea of what might had transpired was confirmed, only that the details were a bit different. " And so of course majority of the powers seeked to kill the girl and her accomplices, but young master was determined to fight to the death protecting his woman, He didn't see it as reasonable to punish the sins of one's fore father's on one. And of course the jealous powers in all righteousness plotted and killed both the lovers. This was a big blow to the Jian clan face and emotion as young master was a loveable fellow, He was loved by the Jian clan to the extent that there was no competition for the clans head position as everyone was okay with him having it, and so hearing what transpired the Jian clan declared war on the powers involved and promised to wipe them out in three days, but to our shock, On the day of the execution, We found out that we weren't just up against those powers but also a lot of other powers, We were against half of the super powers and sect, and a lot of the top powers, No matter how we looked at it, we knew proceeding with the fight would be a death wish, but does it then mean we should have gone back with our tails hanging between our legs, if so what right do we have to claim to be the mighty Jian Clan, How would we have face the world after the incident, The humiliation would have been too much. "
" And so we refused to back down, we choose to fight, We were the mighty Jians, We could accept death but never humiliation. "
" You know till now, I still wonder if that was a wrong choice, They claimed it was righteousness that pushed them, but why did it seem clearly like jealousy back then. They were all adults who had lived for hundreds of years than our young master, and so they should have been able to knock him out and at least return him alive for us but the truth was that the demon girl was never the main target, it was the young master. Rumours even had it that the girl managed to escape, so how then was our young master killed, That was clear jealousy and bullying and we refused to take it. " The old man kept on speaking, he seemed to want to tear up but was seriously fighting it in order to maintain his image as an elder.
" Having no other choice, Facing their formidable force, As the Jian clan, We still choose to fight. And so the second most ruthless battle in the history of our world took place, Even with their formidable force, we still managed to take down three-quarter of their forces therefore reshuffling the duoluo worlds man-power structure, But the price we paid was to heavy, Clan head had already died with more than half of the elders, It was at the point where we were face to face with extinction that our grand elder back then decided to escape, not out of fear, but to at least ensure that we were not completely wiped out. And as expected, he ran back to the clan, It was extremely embarrassing, but he still choose to run. Back then our clan was known for having three supreme treasures, A Sword, A tower, and a staff, While escaping, he randomly grabbed a person and ran and that luckily happened to be me, Thats actually how i am still alive. " The old man spoke, Two drops of tears rolled down his eyes, You couldn't blame him though as his story was truly a sad one. While he was finishing his words, There was a feeling apart from sadness in his tone, it was loneliness.
