章 34: A Mole in the Fox Clan
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
The Zou Wu clan was a rare beast among the beasts. They had the body of a multicolored tiger and did not eat living things. They specialized in cooking. Their greatest characteristics were the antelope horns on their heads and their tails were twice as long as their bodies.
They were famous for speed.
When the aunt mentioned his race, Su Yan immediately searched for the introduction of the Zou Wu Clan in his mind.
Although the original form of the Zou Wu was like a fierce tiger, they were extremely disgusted with the smell of raw food.
Before they transformed, they preferred vegetables to meat. They were a kind of beasts that would only live in the territory of the Zou Wu clan before they transformed.
Because they did not like raw food and rarely attacked living things, ancient humans gave them the title of benevolent beast.
Therefore, it was not a problem for Zou Tong to say that she was an independent big cat who could take care of herself. Zou Wu's personality was basically cheerful, kind, and stable.
"Why is that girl so slow?"
Standing at the brothel entrance momentarily, Zou Tong stood on his tiptoes and looked around. She had not seen the recruits of the Beast Suppression Department for a whole week. She said helplessly, "Then…Let's go in and have a seat first. I'll leave her a message later."
Because of her cheerful and gentle personality, Zou Tong was a training teacher in the Beast Suppression Department. She had to lead a group of recruits every five years to familiarize themselves with the work.
After familiarising themselves with the environment, the recruits would be assigned to different departments to carry out their work.
Zou Tong was sitting outside the brothel because the new subordinates had been sent to the notice boards of the various restaurants in the city to post notices, and the final gathering spot was in front of Chong Qiong's brothel.
However, those newcomers were too slow, and Zou Tong was too embarrassed to let Chong Qiong and the others wait outside.
"What's going on with the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs?"
Everyone came to the tea table on the fourth floor of the building. Aunt raised her hand and placed Su Yan on the table. Aunt raised her hand and used the Telekinesis Technique to pick up fruits, nuts, and a teapot from the backyard. After making the tea for Zou Tong, she began to talk about business.
"What else could have happened? It's just that the people of Nightmare Town saw that the end of the year is approaching, so they planned to deliver a 'big surprise' to His Majesty!"
It was already late autumn, and winter would begin in a week. There were still about three months before the new year of the Xia Yu. The people of Nightmare Town were planning a surprise to embarrass Wu Sheng Emperor.
"Had the people of Nightmare Town gone mad? They want to provoke Wu Sheng Emperor."
As soon as Zou Tong finished speaking, Su Yan, sitting on the tea table and peeling the orange, could not help but gasp. He did not understand why the people of Nightmare Town wanted to provoke the emperor.
Su Yan had never seen the Wu Sheng Emperor before, but from the title of the Immortal of the World, he could guess how powerful the Wu Sheng Emperor was.
He had only been in Xiayu for a short time and had already encountered the incident of the people of Nightmare Town cursing and killing a general of the imperial court. Now, the people of Nightmare Town had bribed the Ministry of Personnel and were plotting something big.
"The people of Nightmare Town hate the emperor so deeply because they feel that Emperor Wu Sheng is not qualified to be an emperor, and they had been trying to force Wu Sheng Emperor to abdicate." Zou Tong said to Su Yan.
These words stunned Su Yan. Wasn't the Wu Sheng Emperor one of the three legendary mixed-blood prodigies born from the previous emperor and Empress You Su? How could they say that the Wu Sheng emperor was not qualified?
Could Wu Sheng Emperor be an illegitimate child?
Seeing Su Yan's stunned expression, Aunt shook her head speechlessly and said, "Looks like I have to show you historical records! The story of Wu Sheng Emperor had something to do with the foundation of Nightmare Town."
"Why was Nightmare Town created? To put it bluntly, it was the spell the human race used to fight against us beasts!"
Now the world was mixed with various races. In fact, after the war between the various races, the world was established.
Heaven and Earth had just been created.
The original lifeforms ruled the universe, and the original fiend celestials died over time. Their corpses transformed into the emperors of the various beast races who fought for hegemony in the universe. The humans took advantage of the weak luck of the beasts to break into the war and rise.
The human race was born after the beast race, and its foundation was not as deep as the beast race.
Although there were many immortals, they were still unable to compete with the beast race that occupied the universe. At this time, a strange person who understood destiny appeared in the human race and created the method of Nightmare Town to balance the beast race with the human race.
By seizing the beast race's bloodline and foundation, the battle would return to the same starting point.
The battle between humans and beasts ended with both sides suffering heavy losses.
After the war, the emperors who led the human race to participate in the war completely banned the magic of Nightmare Town and forbade anyone from practicing it because the magic of Nightmare Town would damage the fate of the human race.
Once fate declined to a certain extent, the pure land that the human race had fought for would return to the situation of war between all races.
The beasts had caused a huge disaster during the chaotic war, and their luck had declined, resulting in the rise of the human race.
After the humans had established themselves, they no longer needed the Nightmare Suppression spell that could damage their luck.
However, to fight against the divine beasts, the humans allowed the Nightmare Suppression Technique to bloom everywhere. It could not be banned just like that, and it was still passed down after tens of thousands of years.
The people of Nightmare Town felt that Wu Sheng Emperor's beast bloodline was too strong to be the emperor of a human country.
They wanted to overthrow the rule of Wu Sheng Emperor.
"After a thousand years of conflicts, the people of Nightmare Town and the Wu Sheng Emperor are no longer just fighting over ideas. They are fighting over bloody hatred and revenge. Wu Sheng Emperor killed all the people of Nightmare Town before reporting. It didn't matter if he killed wrongly."
"They are going to kill everyone in Nightmare Town and make the Nightmare Town disappear." Aunt sighed.
The human race initially developed Nightmare Town's magic as an evil strategy to control the scale of the chaotic wars between the ten thousand races.
However, as time passed, not only did human cultivators learned to use the Nightmare Suppression technique, but even the beasts and other small races also secretly learned it for their benefit.
As a result, it caused many disasters, such as the Qing Qiu nine-tailed fox clan splitting up because of the dragon.
In the present cultivation world, the practice of Nightmare Town's magical arts was strictly prohibited. However, Wu Sheng Emperor stood at the forefront of the prohibition of the magical arts of the Nightmare Town.
If anyone was caught, his entire family would be executed! This prohibition law naturally attracted the aggro of the various major Nightmare Town sects.
Every day, the objectors did nothing but frame the Wu Sheng Emperor.
Wu Sheng Emperor did not give in either. He killed all the members of the Nightmare Town and captured all the members of the sect, sending them to the execution ground to be beheaded.
Wu Sheng Emperor and the people of Nightmare Town were no longer fighting over different ideas but a bloody hatred.
"So..."
Zou Tong smiled at Su Yan and said, "Be careful when you go out to make friends. Perhaps your white-haired fox friend is a man in a fox skin, but he's actually from Nightmare Town. Once he's caught, our Beast Suppression Department will search his soul, and you'll be killed along with him."
Zou Tong joked with a smile, but it scared Su Yan.
"No! I don't have such friends..."
