Chapter 1653: Go to the battlefield!
At this moment, an impatient voice came from the ruins of the Chu royal family: "What East Prosperity or not? I don't know, I don't know! Go, go, don't come here looking for trouble!"
Dongfang Wang sat on the blue dragon, showing a trace of embarrassment on his face. At the same time, he felt somewhat annoyed but still suppressed it, saying, "I mean no harm, I just wish to pay a visit to the master of this place..."
"The master here doesn't see visitors! No visitors, no visitors!" The impatient voice continued to echo.
Then, a cool female voice sounded: "We have no relation with the Dongfang Family, nor do we wish to climb higher. So, you should return."
This time, Dongfang Wang finally showed a serious expression on his face, realizing that the situation seemed a bit tricky, much more complex and severe than he imagined!
Although the other party did not show more hostility towards him, it was clear that his visit was not welcomed. Thinking about the previous hostile label, Dongfang Wang suddenly felt a bit wronged. He sat on the blue dragon, frowning, and said, "Even if the Dongfang Family occupies a large amount of the former Chu royal family's lands, if not us, others would occupy them too. The Chu royal family was not wiped out overnight by the Dongfang Family. If you are indeed descendants of the Chu royal family, you shouldn't hold this resentment against us. This time, I came here to make friends, to see if we could offer some help to you. I cannot accept the term 'hostile neighbor'."
At this moment, a small, thin monkey suddenly jumped out from the depth of the ruin, carrying a large gleaming golden staff on its shoulder, looking at Dongfang Wang with an unpleasant expression, baring its teeth and saying, "Why so much nonsense? Just because you say the murderer isn't you, then it isn't?"
Then, more beings emerged from the depths of the ruin. Each one emitted a strong fluctuation of aura.
Dongfang Wang's expression changed slightly, surprised to see this group of various non-human entities. He thought to himself: The information is wrong. Didn't it say there were just about a dozen of them? How did over a hundred suddenly appear? And every one of them looks extraordinary. This is a very powerful force!
From the standpoint of the entire Ancient Dongfang Clan, naturally, there is no fear of them. But currently, the Ancient Dongfang Clan is quite empty, with almost everyone on the battlefield fighting Gray Land creatures. Moreover, even without the Gray Land creatures, it wouldn't be easy to completely wipe out this force.
The Dongfang Family would definitely suffer heavy losses!
It's like why the Shalan Bandits could roam the Tunnel world unhindered for years, like a porcupine, not particularly strong, easily swallowed with one bite, but ultimately unavoidable to get a body full of pricks.
So even his father, Dongfang Sheng, seeing this force, would absolutely not dare to attack rashly.
Dongfang Wang's blue dragon seemed even more restless. For these non-human entities that appeared, any one of them was terrifying enough, and their aura could easily crush him.
These thoughts flashed like lightning across Dongfang Wang's mind, and then he said, "I am not here to provoke; I really want to meet the master of this place."
The monkey wanted to say something but suddenly paused slightly, as if listening to someone. Then, a look of reluctance appeared on its face, and it said to Dongfang Wang, "Come with me, but leave the little blue long worm."
The mighty blue dragon was remarkably called a little blue long worm and felt a belly of fire, but didn't dare to vent at all. It even dared not meet eyes.
Dongfang Wang gave a bitter smile, nodded, and followed the monkey into the ruins with a calm expression.
The monkey's face showed a hint of slight appreciation. No matter what, this guy has some guts. Not so cowardly!
If it were an ordinary person, they would never dare to step into these ruins alive.
Soon, Dongfang Wang entered a dilapidated ancient hall and saw the legendary white-haired youth. He was sitting there with a heavy expression, looking at a notebook. His presence exerted enormous pressure on Dongfang Wang, who was at the ancestral realm. Although it wasn't suffocating, it was difficult to maintain an easygoing composure.
At the white-haired youth's feet was a hairless old yellow dog, which, upon Dongfang Wang's arrival, didn't even lift its head but lay there squinting, motionless.
The person is aloof, and even the dog is so arrogant...
This was Dongfang Wang's first impression of Chu Mo.
"I am Dongfang Wang..." Despite the displeasure in his heart, Dongfang Wang still politely cupped his fists towards Chu Mo.
Chu Mo sat there motionless, not even lifting his head.
Dongfang Wang finally became a bit impatient, suppressing his irritation, and said, "I dare say..."
"Dare say you've never offended me, nor offended us, nor offended... the Chu royal family, right?" Chu Mo suddenly put down the ancient notebook, raised his head, and with a pair of pure eyes, looked at Dongfang Wang.
For some reason, the originally displeased and even somewhat angry Dongfang Wang found himself at a loss for words the moment Chu Mo's eyes met him.
"Sigh..." Chu Mo sighed and looked at Dongfang Wang, "You should go back. I know you mean no harm, and I also know you actually know nothing. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come."
Dongfang Wang's heart surged as if a great storm was rising.
What exactly did this white-haired youth mean by these words? What was he trying to express? What does he know?
"Go back and ask your family head, or perhaps... the oldest Supreme Elder." Chu Mo looked at Dongfang Wang calmly, "If they tell you there is nothing, then just assume there is nothing."
"I am dense, could you please clarify?" Dongfang Wang finally began to understand why every creature here was so unfriendly towards him. He suddenly realized something.
The direct descendants of a great clan could not possibly be so ignorant, could they?
The Dongfang Family... likely holds animosity with the Chu Clan that Dongfang Wang was unaware of!
"Since the elders of your family have not told you, I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you either. Because even if I did, you wouldn't believe it." Chu Mo spoke indifferently, seeing Dongfang Wang wanting to say something, he waved his hand: "Go back, you... are not bad. Return and convey a message to your family head: Young Master Chu has returned, and the old grudges will be settled slowly. Either have the sinners of the past present their heads, or I shall turn your entire family upside down one by one!"
Boom!
Chu Mo's words exploded like a terrifying attack in Dongfang Wang's mind.
He was completely stunned.
Young Master Chu!
This person was actually the unparalleled... Young Master Chu!
Could this be true?
Wasn't Young Master Chu supposed to have disappeared more than ten epochs ago?
Wasn't he said to have died long ago?
Also, what did he mean by his words? To have the sinners of the past present themselves? Who are the sinners?
Dongfang Wang didn't even know how he got back, his mind was in turmoil the entire way. The domineering words of that white-haired young man kept echoing in his mind. Even when he saw his father, Dongfang Sheng, Dongfang Wang's heart was still filled with shock.
"He said... to say that Young Master Chu has returned, and the old grudges will be settled slowly. Either have the sinners of the past present themselves, or he will turn our entire family upside down... Father, can you tell me what is going on? Wasn't the biggest mistake our Ancient Dongfang Clan made simply occupying the Chu Clan's territory? Why... why would he say such things?" Dongfang Wang looked at his father, full of confusion and grievance.
To be honest, from childhood till now, he had never suffered such grievance.
From beginning to end, the rhythm, the aura, everything... was completely suppressed by him! He didn't even get a chance to speak. Barely seeing that Young Master Chu, he was driven back after just a few words.
If this were to get out, nobody would believe it!
In the Ancient Dongfang Clan, although Dongfang Wang was not considered the top, he was definitely in the first echelon!
Even the Ancient God Family's Gu Bingbing, before occupying Canggu City in those years, had a status far beneath that of Dongfang Wang.
Such a status, yet to be treated like this, and unable to vent any anger. This feeling was simply stifling and dreadful.
Dongfang Sheng's face was also filled with shock, looking at his son: "Did he truly say that?"
"Yes, word for word." Dongfang Wang sighed, looking at his father: "Why is it that there are so many things we are not qualified to know?"
Dongfang Sheng looked at Dongfang Wang, suddenly sighed: "It's not that you are not qualified to know, it's that no one... is qualified! Except for the Supreme realm ancestors, and the family head of each generation. Even the Elder Group doesn't have the right to know. Some things, knowing rather becomes a colossal pressure. Not knowing is a blessing!"
"I don't understand," Dongfang Wang shook his head, looking at his father: "I hope father can enlighten me."
"I cannot enlighten you," Dongfang Sheng shook his head, waving his hand: "Go first... Oh, by the way, do not stay in the family during this time. Didn't you say before you wanted to go battle the creatures of the Gray Land? I'll dispatch a hundred thousand elite troops for you, go to the battlefield, and be careful. Remember, a noble son does not sit under the hall."
"Father..." Dongfang Wang looked at his father in shock, his heart was immensely shaken. He was clever and immediately thought of why his father wanted him to go to the battlefield.
But the problem is, does Dongfang Sheng think that going to the battlefield... is relatively easier than facing those ruins of the Chu Clan? How could that be?
Dongfang Wang stared at his father in disbelief.
Dongfang Sheng waved his hand: "Go, go, don't think too much. I will solve this matter."
At this moment, Dongfang Sheng, the family head of the Ancient Dongfang Clan who usually had the final word, seemed... to have shed the identity of a family head, and was just a father to his child. His tone was calm, but it was filled with a sense of defeat and desolation, as if he was utterly exhausted.
The corners of Dongfang Wang's eyes suddenly became moist, and once more, he called out with emotion: "Father..."
