Chapter 72: My Charming Ancestor…

Zhou Tong’s body gave a small tremble, and in the blink of an eye he drew in a powerful surge of Greed. It came from the girl in his arms, Zhang Chu Qiao, and it was clear she was serious.

Zhou Tong thought: [As expected of the Yin Yang Dao Physique, even emotions are much stronger than in ordinary people.]

He finally understood how mighty the Yin Yang Dao Physique was. Whether it was someone in the Emperor Realm or the person she loved, as long as she wanted it, no one could escape her grasp.

The little demoness could not stand it and wedged herself between them as she ordered: “You two, break it up.”

She glared at Zhou Tong and spoke with righteous anger: “Senior sister was just rescued, her body is still weak, she cannot handle anything improper right now, so you need to hold back.”

Zhou Tong was left at a loss. Looking past her puffed cheeks, he glanced toward Zhang Chu Qiao behind her. The girl wore a half-smile, her breath smooth and complete. She was truly in the Life and Death Realm, with no sign of weakness at all. At such a realm, people called you a top expert.

If she took one more step, she would reach the Reincarnation Realm, also called a Great Power cultivator. Zhao Wu Tian, Mo Liu Su, and Lian Han Xing were all in this class. One step beyond a Great Power was a Half Saint. At her peak, Mu Rong Ya was among the best even within the Half Saints. As for Chief Enforcer Cold Night, the strongest person Zhou Tong had seen since his rebirth, he was a true Saint. On the entire Eastern Continent, perhaps only two or three people could stand beside him as equals. At this moment, Zhang Chu Qiao already had the qualifications to found a sect and could serve as the sect master of a third-rate sect.

Zhang Chu Qiao suddenly let out a playful cry: “Ah!”

It turned out she had sneaked up from behind and hugged the little demoness around her slim waist. She teased in a low voice: “Little Yue’er, you dared ruin your sister’s good moment. When sister gets angry, it’s very scary.”

Little Yue’er sniffed and snapped back without fear: “I’m not scared of you, I was here first.”

Before the two could start bickering, Mu Rong Ya stepped in and separated them as she said with a cold face: “This is not the time to talk about romance. We should be taking revenge.”

Everyone grew serious at once.

Zhou Tong thought for a moment, then gave his conclusion: “Zhao Wu Tian kidnapped senior sister, a crime beyond forgiveness. With our current strength, if we charge straight to the State Preceptor’s estate, we can easily kill him.”

Mu Rong Ya clapped her hands, ready to give orders, because the time for revenge had finally come and she did not want to wait another moment: “In that case, then we…”

Zhang Chu Qiao raised a hand to stop them, her expression grave as if recalling something important: “Wait. Among the group that besieged me before, I think I sensed the shadow of the Devil Race.”

“What did you say?” Everyone was shocked. Had Zhao Wu Tian already colluded with the Devil Race?

Holy Heart spoke up at last as she looked at Zhou Tong: “I’ve been wanting to say this. Big brother has a faint trace of demonic aura on him, like he just came into contact with someone carrying demonic qi.”

“Zhao Wu Tian, you wretch.” Blood flashed in Zhou Tong’s eyes, rare for him. He ground out his words: “No wonder he got the Life Extinguishing Desolation Array. So he was already working with the Devil Race.”

At the name Life Extinguishing Desolation Array, everyone’s faces changed. It was a notorious killing formation. Countless experts of the Human Race had died to it. No one knew who created this Array Arts. The most common view said it came from the Devil Race.

Holy Heart widened her eyes and dropped a blast of truth: “You’ve got it wrong. This Array Arts was created by the Human Race.”

“That’s impossible,” Long Ling Yun blurted first. She insisted: “Humans love peace. Why would they create an Array Arts with such massive killing power?”

“Love peace?” Holy Heart was stunned, repeating those two words like she had just heard a ridiculous joke. She challenged coldly: “How can you say that out loud? Do you know how your Human Race looks in the eyes of other races?”

She ticked the deeds off on her fingers, speaking like she was reciting a well-known list: “Since the birth of humanity, you cut down the Heaven Pillar, severed the link between heaven and earth, destroyed the Demon Clan, suppressed the Evil Clan, pressed down the Spirit Clan, coerced the Immortal Clan, subjugated the God Clan, subdued the Ancient Clan, slaughtered the Fierce Clan, and drove out the Other Clans.”

She continued without a pause: “In the once-glorious Nine Ancient Clans, aside from the Devil Race, your Human Race wiped out the other eight. Only a few individuals and small tribes survived, struggling to live on. And that was because your ancestors wanted to keep some biological diversity.”

“As for the small tribes you exterminated, there were even more, some not even recorded in time. In their eyes, the Heavenly Dao was not scary, disasters were not scary, only the Human Race was the true catastrophe.”

She stared at Long Ling Yun and snapped: “You call that loving peace?”

The devil sovereign Holy Heart trembled with cold anger. In her past life she had seen the Human Race as weak, but after meeting Zhou Tong she had started to believe those unbelievable battle records. This race was strange. A single person taken alone could be very weak, a real pushover, but once they clustered together, they produced terrifyingly strong figures. In their own words, when hearts unite, heroes appear. If you add pressure from outside races, it becomes even more frightening, and the strongest beings in history are sure to emerge.

She recalled: “Back then the God Clan stood proud and untouchable. When they saw the Human Race fall into a valley, they tried to wipe them out. But the more they pressed, the more the Humans rebelled. In war they rose up, and soon many emperors coexisted. They counterattacked the God Clan. The result was the total destruction of the God Clan in a single war. Temples ruined, inheritance cut off, not even a chicken was left alive. If the Human Race had not later fallen into internal strife, the Devil Race would likely already be gone.”

She finished in a level tone: “That Life Extinguishing Desolation Array was a tool your human ancestors used to draw out the origin of the Devil Race. When they found the devil origin could not be used by humans, they listed it as a forbidden formation and sealed it forever.”

Mu Rong Ya still frowned, her doubt lingering: “But our histories are full of stories of being bullied by others.”

Holy Heart could not help laughing: “Of course. Your histories are account books. When you win and exterminate others, you always skim past it. But if someone bullies you, you write page after page and remember it twice over.”

Zhou Tong touched his cheek, a little intoxicated by the idea as he murmured: “A hatred of ten thousand generations can still be repaid.”

He stared into space and added with a soft, eerie smile: “Sitting up in shock while dying, only to find the natural disaster is me. My charming ancestor, you really are to my taste.”

Then his gaze grew distant and deep as he declared: “We should follow our ancestors and make the Myriad Races come to offer tribute, those who go along will prosper, those who go against us will perish.”

Hearing this, the devil sovereign Holy Heart felt her scalp prickle. When she looked at Zhou Tong, it was like a primordial beast stood before her, baring cold fangs at its prey.
