Looking at Tushan Xin, Bai Shuo felt a headache coming on.
How should she go about it without raising suspicions?
Her fox lips curled into a mocking smile.
When was the last time she was this cautious?
In her past life, many people would rush to her– It was their honor to have the Fiery Goddess of Lingli sect examine their meridian networks.
"Shuo'er," Tushan Xin asked worriedly. "Do you think the Ancestral Prince will really wipe out our clan?"
"Impossible!"
The two fox girls swerved towards the voice and saw the prince at the door since who knew when.
He stepped into the room and continued in a dIgnified and solemn voice. "The other Ancestral Princes won't allow it."
Bai Shuo's eyes narrowed at him.
There was something familiar about his aura–Something she despised.
It was similar to the Bai Clan's aura– Not their usual coldness but something else..
Tushan Xin asked the prince doubtfully . " But aside from the battle with the Ancestral Dragon Prince which ended up in a tie, the other Ancestral Princes were defeated in a battle."
Bai Shuo felt as if she had been strucked by lightining.
The Ancestral Fox Prince defeated the other Ancestral Princes?
He was that strong?
Even the Ancestral Dragon Prince ended up in a tie with him?
How's that possible?
Bai Shuo's mind reeled from intense shock and disbelief.
The Human realm didn't have much information on the Ancestral Clans but they knew some basic knowledge.
She remembered the conversation she once had with her master.
It was a hundred years before her death.The news had spread the whole Human realm about an Ancestral Prince being defeated.
When she heard the news, she had scoffed. " What's so hard about it? I can also defeat any of the Ancestral Prince if they were at my realm."
Her master looked at her up and down and refused to comment.
Bai Shuo felt she was being looked down upon. She grumbled dissatisfiedly. " I've never fought anyone from the Ancestral Clan race but so what? I don't believe that I can't defeat them."
Her master sighed exasperatedly. "Do you know what it means to defeat an Ancestral Prince ?
"Isn't it normal defeat?"
Master Feng looked at her disciple and explained. "The Ancestral Clan seemed to be ruled by five major clans but it's in fact ruled by four major clans."
Bai Shuo felt birds cawing over her head.
Master Feng shook his head at her puzzled expression . "Forget it, this knowledge is only known to the higher-ups of our Human realm, your cultivation is still low."
Bai Shuo curiosity flared instead.
She looked at her master's expression of "not divulging any secret even at death's door" and sighed.
"Master…" Her expression was extremely reluctant and painful as she pulled out a red crystal from her Space ring. " This was especially prepared for you."
Master Feng's eyes lit up and he swallowed. "Is that a Void Fiery Crystal?"
"Yes, the most important material for a Fire Dharma Artifact." She paused and continued. " Master, this Void Fiery Crystal was for my own Dharma Artifact but I heard.. that your Dharma Artifact broke after the secret realm expedition."
Master Feng stretched out his hands enthusiastically to take the red crystal but failed.
He looked at his disciple's raised hand withholding the crystal from his reach and smiled fakely. "Isn't the crystal for me?"
Bai Shuo tilted her and asked meaningfully. " What were you saying about the Ancestral Clan?"
*Shuo'er, how could you be like this? You are so unfilial."
Bai Shuo was too impatient to play games with him and went straight to the point. "Master, you know how hard It is to get this crystal so…"
Master Feng waved his sleeve and the red crystal disappeared. He sighed " Fine, fine but I won't go into details."
Bai Shuo felt something was amiss. Her master agreed too quickly.
Seeing her master's satisfied expression, She knew she had been tricked. He clearly knew she had the Fiery Void Crystal and goaded her curiosity.
Tch..this old fox.
She glared at him but swallowed her dissatisfaction after all, she couldn't defeat him yet.
Master Feng's eyes crinkled from delight, he crossed his fingers and explained.
" The Ancestral Clan has an Ancestral court which is ruled by the Ancestral Princes. And the Ancestral Princes mainly comes from major clans in the Primordial Abyss."
"Why the major clans?"
Her master raised a brow and replied. "I don't know. Maybe because they have the strongest bloodline."
"Strongest bloodline?" Bai Shuo echoed."How strong?"
Master Feng smiled. "There are five major clan in the Primordial Abyss but only four have a stable position."
Bai Shuo frowned in confusion.
"Before the Great war, the Ancestral Clan was ruled by four major clans but after the war, the Ancestral Court was created and it now became ruled by five major clans."
"But you said the Ancestral Clan is actually ruled by four?"
Master Feng nodded. "After the Great War, one of the middle-tier clan was promoted to a major clan. The Ancestral Clan now have a rule that allows other members of the Ancestral Clan to become a major clan by defeating an Ancestral Prince."
Master Feng paused and added.
" That's likely why the fifth major clan was created. The four major clans can't be challenged but what of the fifth major clan? They are just like a huge piece of meat and after a hundred years of attempts, another clan replaced them. And so the cycles continued."
Bai Shuo asked. "So this new Ancestral Prince must have defeated the Ancestral Prince from the current fifth major clan?"
"Naturally," Master Feng stroked his beard, his eyes filled with admiration. "That's why I think he's impressive. Challenging an Ancestral Prince comes with grave consequences if one failed."
Bai Shuo was still not convinced. "Hmph, he's such a coward for choosing the weaker major clan. I don't think the other major clan are that impressive too"
Her master frowned at her words and reprimanded coldly. "Ignorant! Weaker major clan? What do you know about the Ancestral Clans.?
Bai Shuo froze. She couldn't remember the last time her master scolded her.
Master Feng sighed and chided softly. " You can't be too arrogant. Do you know that the peaceful pact was in fact a protection for our Human Clan?"
Bai Shuo's lips parted slightly. "Are the Ancestral Clan that strong?"
He nodded and said in a grave voice.
"Our Lingli Sect is one of the major sects in the Human realm but any middle-tier clan in the Primordial Abyss could destroy our sect."
Bai Shuo's mind went blank.
She sucked in cold breaths and asked dazedly. "A middle-tier clan?"
Her master nodded, his voice solemn. "The four major clans are the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the White Tiger Clan and the Xuanwu Clan. A full force attack from any of them is enough to obliterate the whole Human realm."
Bai Shuo felt dizzy from the information.
Master Feng sighed. "That's why this information is hidden from cultivators below the Dao and Law realm."
Bai Shuo understood.
If humans knew the beings they called demons were this powerful, despair would swallow all cultivation motivation.
Even she herself was shaken badly.
Her master saw her depressed expression and added. "Of course, our Human Clan have our own advantages. While their strengths lie in their terrifying physique and bloodline, our Human Clan's strengths lies in our cultivation speed and comprehension ."
"Their geniuses with pure bloodline might be born with a cultivation of Foundation Establishment and sometimes Golden Core but they take a longer time to cultivate."
Bai Shuo sucked in cold breaths.
" Foundation Establishment at birth?"
She could really feel the blatant unfairness of heaven.
Master Feng nodded solemnly. "But that applies only to their pure blooded, Heaven is not completely unfair, at least humans can cultivate faster than them."
She clenched her fists, her eyes shining. The thought of fighting such strong beings made her blood boil.
The Ancient Battlefield realm.
She was looking forward to it.
Of course, she looked forward to it but she died before reaching it.
However, she was curious about the Ancestral Fox Prince, he could even defeat many Ancestral Princes. Just how strong was he?
She wondered how the expression on her master's face would be if she knew that the Ancestral Fox Prince actually defeated a major clan Ancestral Prince-The White Tiger Ancestral Prince.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud sneer.
Prince Shao's hostile voice rang out. "Hmph, that was just a one to one battle. If he really intends to wipe out our clan, the Ancestral Princes would join hands to suppress him."
Bai Shuo suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Tushan Xin's eyes widened slightly as she whispered hopefully. "Really?"
The Prince nodded. "They are just allowing him to vent. Ultimately our Fox Clan did wrong him but if he goes further…".
He let out a cold chuckle.
Tushan Xin patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
From an angle Tushan Xin couldn't see, Prince Shao winked at Fox Bai Shuo. "Well, it's not like our clan doesn't have other options."
"What?"
