Chapter 899: The Forbidden Clan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wu Qi sped through the sky, surrounded in a gust of fierce wind. While he was passing the shield that trapped Huo Wu, he gave the man a brutal blow. He did not use any divine ability or magic power, but smashed the young general with his immensely powerful divine sense of a Dao Breaking expert.

The invisible divine sense shattered the shield with a boom, and Huo Wu, who was poking around frantically with his pike, froze in place while his divine sense was crushed to a mess like a tiny bean under a grindstone. Ao Buzun and the horde of demons swarmed over immediately, ripping him into dozens of pieces and swallowing him clean. Every drop of blood and every piece of flesh of an eighth-tier Primordial Immortal was the fruit he had spent tens of thousands of years to obtain. It was a feast of substantial benefits for them.

The pike that could transform into a little blue dragon was forcibly held in place by Ao Buzun and Lord Xiansheng. Xiang Yu, who had been coveting it for a long time, suddenly rushed over from the side as he threw away his own pike. Then, he grabbed the little dragon’s tail and shook it with all his might. “Good boy, be nice and submit to me!”

The little dragon screamed in the grip. It was the natal Primordial Artifact Huo Wu had spent countless years to craft with his own soul and blood essence. Now that Huo Wu was dead, if it could take the opportunity and flee, it would be a free itinerant Primordial Immortal forever. Naturally, it did not want to be controlled again. But, Xiang Yu’s strength was so great, and as it had just been severely wounded by the Soul-splitting Spear, it could not break free no matter how hard it struggled.

Wu Qi, who had just flown past, gave the pike a fierce glance over his shoulder and snapped, “Submit or die!”

His mighty divine sense conjured into an invisible sharp blade and pressed against the little dragon’s throat, freezing it instantly. A terrible killing intent almost froze its artifact spirit and wiped out its sentience. A blue light flashed, and in the next moment, a twelve-feet-long blue pike lay quietly in Xiang Yu’s arms.

Xiang Yu danced with joy as he bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood essence on the pike. Immediately, the pike absorbed the blood, and a faint trace of blood appeared across its blue shaft. Wu Qi had frightened the pike’s artifact spirit, and so long as Xiang Yu spent his time to slowly nourish it with his blood essence and energy essence, it would become his natal artifact one day. Just like that, he had gotten himself a Primordial Artifact.

Yuan Qing and Huhai were so jealous. But, as both of them were not good at using pikes, they could only let him take it.

With a long roar, Wu Qi traversed tens of thousands of miles in one step and appeared behind the five men in black cloaks, who were fleeing in panic. He waved his hand, throwing out five black runes the size of fists. They transformed into twisting, ferocious ghost heads and shot into their backs, freezing them in place. Then, with a beckon, he pulled them into his sleeve.

He was struck dumb when he studied them with his divine sense. Their curse was so powerful that even he had suffered greatly, and yet their cultivation bases were weaker than a Gold Core cultivator. Apart from their divine senses, which were slightly stronger than ordinary people, they appeared to be some common mortals.

With a gloomy face, Wu Qi returned to his ship, where he flicked his sleeve and threw the men on the deck. A team of soldiers rushed up and tore their cloaks to pieces. Five strange men, who stood only up to Wu Qi’s shoulder and looked more like monkeys than humans, appeared before the crowd. They were terrified, shivering, but were imprisoned by Wu Qi with ancient runes. Given his cultivation base, even a first-tier Primordial expert could not break free of the trap, let alone five common mortals.

Princess Zhang Le, who had arrived at the news, was inspecting Wu Qi’s condition when her face darkened. Her fingers shone with five-colored light as she ran them across his body several times. Fortunately, as he had a profound cultivation base and Huang Liang had led the army and destroyed the altar in time, although the curse had caused a serious injury to him, his foundation was not damaged. He had only lost part of his energy essence, which he could recover in just a few days.

She took out a life-saving spirit pill produced in Yuan Ling Dark Realm and shoved it into his mouth, then turned to Huang Liang and praised, “You’ve done well, Huang Liang. I’ll record this in your book of service. When we return to Dong Hai, I’ll pick several beautiful and talented girls from the imperial clans of the six states for you.” Princess Zhang Le had such a panicking fear. Had Huang Liang not ordered the attack in time and interrupted the curse, Wu Qi would have suffered a serious injury by now. Even though he might not die, it would take him eons to recover.

Therefore, she had decided to reward Huang Liang. By making him marry a few girls from the imperial clans, she could also bind his personal interest with Dong Hai.

Huang Liang’s mouth watered as soon as he heard that and he thanked the princess hurriedly. Every girl from the imperial clans of the six states was extraordinarily beautiful. He was so envious when he learned that Wu Qi had ninety thousand girls from the imperial clans as concubines. How could he not be happy when Princess Zhang Le promised to pick beautiful and talented girls from the imperial clans for him?

While he was drooling and smiling like an idiot, the rest of the generals were tempted by the reward. ‘Looks like we have to contribute more!’ they thought to themselves.

After rewarding Huang Liang for his meritorious service, Princess Zhang Le gritted her teeth and looked at the five men lying on the deck. Wu Qi frowned at them too. He had no impression of these people. Whether it was his previous life or the white mouse who taught him Scroll of Stealing, they lived at such a high level that they couldn’t have any contact with these monkey-like people. So naturally, they did not have any memories of them.

Princess Zhang Le suddenly sneered. “What a Heaven!” she nodded and said, “I can’t believe they are secretly raising the descendants of the forbidden clan.”

Wu Qi, Ao Buzun, and others all looked at her curiously, wondering what she meant by the forbidden clan. But, Huang Liang raised his eyebrows as he nodded thoughtfully and said, “The forbidden clan? Aye, I think I heard of them before when I was having my training in Zhong Province after joining the army.” He cocked his head and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. “Yes, the forbidden clan! They are the people whom Great Yu is secretly hunting even now!”

Wu Qi glared at him. Obviously, this guy must have failed his training as a recruit. The hunt for the forbidden clan should have been explained as a secret military mission when recruits joined the army. And yet, Huang Liang did not remember it very well. Wu Qi wondered how he managed to join the army in those years.

It was only after Princess Zhang Le explained the origin of the forbidden clan that Wu Qi realized how dangerous his previous situation was.

In ancient times, there were famous oracle clans such as Wu Xian and Wu Peng in Great Yu. Before Great Yu was established, these clans served like today’s Directorate of Celestials; their savage and brutal curses were the weapons that used to protect the early human race against all kinds of demons, fiends, spirits, ghosts.

But like immortals, the members of these clans were blinded by their mighty power, and also began to pursue immortality. The ‘Medicines of Wu Xian’ and the ‘Medicines of Wu Peng’ were the legendary medicines these clans had produced with the blood essence of humans and various rare spirit herbs, which could give human beings endless lives.

They did not just produce medicines that made human beings immortal. In pursuit of the great cursing power, they had modified themselves by fusing all kinds of strange bloodlines with their own bodies. They abandoned their human forms and even their intelligence, eventually turned themselves into another species.

At that time, the human tribal alliance was angered by their actions and had issued a hunting order for these clans, summoning all the military power of the human race to wipe out their bloodlines from the world. But these clans, which had held the power of offering sacrifice to heaven for countless years, could not be destroyed so easily. Today, their descendants continued to thrive on Pangu Continent, and they would appear and cause trouble for the human race every once in a while.

Since the Human Emperor of the seven generations ago ascended the throne, these forbidden clans had not been active. Today, however, they showed up in Huo Wu’s camp, trying to kill Wu Qi with a curse. Clearly, they had been recruited by Heaven. With the support of Heaven’s vast resources, the descendants of these forbidden clans had become increasingly violent and unpredictable in their curses.

Just by looking at the fact that Wu Qi, as a sixth-tier Dao Breaking expert, was nearly killed by five members of the forbidden clan who did not even have the cultivation bases of Gold Core cultivators, one would know what terrible curses and ancient mystic arts they had mastered.

Huang Liang nodded as he slapped himself on the head and said with a smile, “I remember now. The commander who trained us once said that if we could kill a clansman from the forbidden clan, we would be promoted to a higher rank; if we could destroy one of their divisions, we would be granted lordship; if we could annihilate their entire clans, we would be conferred as kings.”

Wu Qi sneered and shook his head. “I don’t need them for promotion or wealth,” he said. “Dig everything out of their heads. Also, find out who ordered them to kill me with a curse.”

“Interrogate them with the cruelest tortures,” Princess Zhang Le said coldly. “I want to know all the curses and spells they have mastered. Even mighty figures in the Ancient Gods were killed by members of these clans. Dig up everything they know.”

But, before her voice could die away, from the forehead of each of the five men came spewing out a plume of dark smoke at the same time that merged into a small cloud between them. In the middle of the cloud appeared an old man who looked like a hungry wolf with white hair. Smiling at the princess, the old man nodded and said, “The younger generation is incompetent as always, please excuse them! We, the Clan of Wu Xian, have never been captured as prisoners since ancient times!”

The old man gave a strange laugh. The next moment, the bodies of the five men lying on the deck suddenly swelled into balls that were about ten feet in diameter.

Wu Qi hurriedly waved his sleeve and sent them thousands of miles away in a flash.

Five muffled explosions occurred as the bodies of the five men exploded into thick black blood, spraying and spilling in all directions.

All the mountains and hills within a hundred miles were rapidly melted by the black blood, and even the ground was corroded into a large pit that was tens of miles deep.

Wu Qi and everyone looked at each other, and were speechless for a long time.
