Chapter 582 - Causing a stir
The person tried to say it a few times, but he couldn’t get the rest of his words out. You could tell how big of an impact this had on them.
“Could it be that that clan has appeared?”
“How could it be? They’d already been wiped out by the several big clans. How could they appear?”
“I just hope that our guesses are wrong.”
“We’re here to kidnap the Devil Fox, but now that all their people have died, how are we going to find it?”
“Wherever that Devil Fox appears, there will definitely be people who spot her. We just have to scout for information to find out.”
Devil Fox – they referred to the descendants of the white devil clansmen.
“What do we do about the situation here?”
“Send word back to our clans, and get them to figure it out.”
“That’s all we can do for now. Someone’s coming, let’s leave this place.”
The two of them disappear immediately, and two devil clansmen come immediately. When they see the scene, they are equally shocked and contact their superiors immediately.
The manager of the inn that Sima You Yue had first stayed in received quite a heavy mental blow. In the past, it was merely a small place where nobody important came. However, because of that Devil Fox who stayed here, more than ten groups had already come in for information. Some were kinder, while others were more evil. He had almost lost his life to the hands of those people twice.
Today, after everyone leaves, after the manager had come so close to death once again, he decided to close his inn for a year and stay out of trouble.
Although there were many in the devil realm who wanted to break through the barrier to the human realm, he had never felt that it was as dangerous as it was now.
He kept having the feeling that, ever since the three of them stepped in here, the devil realm would get turned upside down.
News that a Devil Fox had appeared made its rounds quickly around the entire devil realm. It had been close to ten thousand years since a devil fox had appeared. So, apart from those who had first gotten hold of the news, there were many troops who had joined in the search for the devil fox.
However, ever since the devil fox left the city, nobody caught a trace of her.
At this moment, Sima You Yue was currently standing in front of some ruins, watching Hua Xiu and his brother cry out mournfully.
By this time, she had already changed her clothing and changed her horns into a pair of long ears. There was even a short tail behind her with fur covering her arms.
However, the reminder from Hua Xiu and his brother, she turned the fur on her arms completely black. She had already wasted many days in the concoction of the gye.
Following Sima You Yue’s change in disguise, Little Dream and Mo Sha have to change their disguise as well. However, both of them were born this way, so it was harder for them to change it. It was a good thing that Hua Xiu was good at disguises. After he was done with them, they looked completely different.
After they were done with their disguise, they appeared in front of everyone again. They then headed straight to the Hua Clan, planning to meet their clan leader because they heard that their clan leader was here.
However, by the time they arrived, they realised the Hua Clan had been eradicated. The houses were burnt to the ground and they didn’t know if their clan leader was dead or alive.
“That- You guys, don’t be so sad. Who knows, your clan leader might be alive?” Sima You Yue saw that the brothers were breaking down due to the travesty, and could not help but think back to the time her grandfather and brothers were kidnapped, where she stood in front of their broken-down residence. She couldn’t help but try and cheer them up.
“Who has a grudge against you?” Mo Sha asked.
“Zu clan.” Hua Jing said.
When he heard of the Zu Clan, Mo Sha’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Was that also another clan under you?” Sima You Yue asked.
“They’ve already switched loyalties. Shortly after King died, they went under the royal family’s banner.” Hua Xiu said, “Not only that. They’ve continued to convince other clans to abandon their previous loyalties as well. For those that are unwilling, he suppresses them. Some could not hold up under their threats and cajoles, and have become dogs of the royal families. As for those who were unwilling to switch loyalties, he eradicated most of them. Those who survived went into hiding.”
“Are those people still around?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Those would went into hiding that year were very powerful, and the royal family had no way to suppress them all. So, they were allowed to remain in hiding. After so many years passed, even we are not clear on how those secret clans are doing.” Hua Jing said, “However, like the subordinates of the king that year, I believe that the elders would know. Young Master, if you want to find them, we have to look for the elders.”
“But the devil realm is to big. We also don’t know if your elders have been taken. Even if we did, we have no idea where they have been taken to. Where are we supposed to go to look for them?” Sima You Yue said, “Also, your place just got razed. We don’t know how your clan is doing.”
Hua Xiu and his brother were depressed. That’s right, this branch had been destroyed. Who knew whether the others were as well.
Mo Sha didn’t say anything. He walked to the ruins and formed a seal with both hands. It seemed as though the environment around him slowly started to distort. Even his silhouette turned a little translucent.
“This is…” Hua Xiu took a deep breath and watched as the twisted space slowly turned into an image. Through the image, they saw the place get infiltrated and attacked. After they killed everyone, they set fire to the house and the people. Near the end of it they take the elders of the Hua Clan with them as they leave.
The image slowly fades away, but the warped space still remains. Mo Sha’s body once again appears among the ruins.
“Did you see it clearly?” He looked at Hui Xiu and the rest.
“Yeah. They are truly the Zu clansmen.” Hua Xiu says.
“Were your clan elders the people who were taken away at the very end?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Yes.” Hua Jing confirms, “Based on what they said at the end, it seems they want to bring the elders to Blood Level City.”
“Blood Level City?” Sima You Yue sees that the expressions of the two brothers ain’t great, and feels that there’s something more to it, “It’s very dangerous there?”
“That’s where the main branch of the Zu clan is.” Hua Jing explains, “Also, they mentioned at the end of that image that they were going to meet with a few old friends. This shows that our elders are not the first ones they’ve kidnapped. So why have they kidnapped so many elders, and where have they gotten the power to do so?”
“Royal family.” Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue was not familiar with this and that clan or clan elder. However, she could tell from Hua Jing’s words and expressions that things were going to get spicy.
“So are we going to Blood Level City to save their elders?”
“We have to rescue the elders quickly, but we first have to tell you about what’s happening between our clans. You can’t just head into Blood Level City. You have to make the proper preparations first.” Hua Jing said.
“Then let’s head to your main branch first.” Mo Sha turned to leave after throwing down this sentence.
Sima You Yue followed after him. There were few teleportation arrays here, and it was unlike the human realm which had one in every city. They could only rely on their flying spirit beasts.
However, they had not gotten far before a group of people surrounded them.
“Who are you guys?” Hua Xiu asked.
“You have no right to ask who we are. Hand her over.” The first guy pointed to Sima You Yue and said.
