As the auction ended, Chen Daoxuan and the others left the auction house together.
Along the way, Chen Xianhe was in low spirits and didn’t say a word.
Chen Daoxuan, who didn’t know what was going on, couldn’t comfort him and could only quietly accompany him.
When the Cloud Treading Beast Carriage arrived in front of the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop.
“Thirteenth Uncle, we’re here,” Chen Daoxuan reminded him softly.
“Oh, have we arrived?”
Chen Xianhe looked much older after a trip to the auction house, and there was a hint of lethargy in his eyes.
After three days, Chen Xianhe finally recovered from his depression.
Daoxuan, I’ve made you worry these few days.”
Chen Xianhe forced a smile at Chen Daoxuan.
Seeing that Chen Xianhe had taken the initiative to talk to him for the first time in three days, Chen Daoxuan quickly put down the things in his hands and heaved a sigh of relief.’Thirteenth Uncle, as long as you’re fine!”
Chen Xianhe nodded.
Just as he was helping Chen Daoxuan tidy up the things in the shop, Chen Daoxuan said calmly, “”Thirteenth Uncle, how could my Chen family become enemies with the Ye family of Cangzhou City?”
Logically speaking, the Ye family was the number one family in the Azure Continent, and their ancestor, Ye Wudao, was a famous Golden Core cultivator.
Such a powerful cultivation clan that even the Zhou Clan didn’t dare to provoke, how could it have become enemies with the tiny Chen Clan of Shuanghu Island?
Hearing this, Chen Xianhe became agitated again. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said in a low voice,You should have heard of the Battle of Zhennan Pass between the Infinite Star Sea and the Yun Nation fifty years ago, right?”
As a Cangzhou cultivator, how could Chen Daoxuan not have heard of the famous Battle of Zhennan Pass?
However, from what Chen Xianhe said, there seemed to be something else going on.
As one of the seven immortal cities established by the Qianyuan Sword Sect in the Yun Nation, the Southern Mountain City had always played a role in guarding the southern front of the Yun Nation.
However, just 50 years ago, this famous immortal city was actually lost due to a war.
It had to be said that this was a huge blow to the cultivators of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect and the Infinite Star Sea who had been advancing triumphantly for the past 400 years.
Because of this, the Cangzhou cultivators, who were the main force guarding the city, were often criticized by the cultivators of other states when they traveled in the Infinite Star Sea.
When Chen Daoxuan recounted what he knew about the battle at the Southern Mountain’s City, Chen Xianhe sneered.
“Nonsense!”
Chen Xianhe sneered,” What you know is all publicized by the Qianyuan Sword Sect. The real battle of Zhennan Pass is not like what you said, because …”
Chen Xianhe paused.” Because fifty years ago, 1 was a soldier guarding the Southern Mountain’s City!”
At this point, the pain in Chen Xianhe’s eyes disappeared.
“Back then, the Profound Sun Sect and the Qinghui Daoist Sect formed the Profound Pure Dao Alliance and sent an army of cultivators to attack the Southern Mountain’s City.
The other party had mobilized nearly a million cultivators of all levels. Under the leadership of five Golden Cores, they launched an attack on the Southern City!
At that time, there was only one Golden Core cultivator on our side guarding South Town Immortal City, and that was the Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Wudao!”
Chen Xianhe became agitated again at the mention of Ye Wudao’s name.
After a long while, he continued,” Even if the enemy has five Golden Cores and an army of one million cultivators, our South Town Immortal City has an army of more than one million cultivators. In addition to the city-protecting array, even if we can’t defeat the enemy, it won’t be a problem for us to hold on until reinforcements arrive!”
At this point, Chen Xianhe’s voice became painful again.” But that cowardly Ye Wudao actually abandoned the city and fled in fear of the power of the five Golden Cores!!!”
“You know what? He actually used his trump card to escape under everyone’s watchful eyes and abandoned Zhennan Immortal City!”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan clenched his fists involuntarily.
“It’s a pity that the million cultivators of the Southern Mountain’s City were unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the five Golden Cores. In the end, the Southern Mountain’s City was breached, and more than a million cultivators of our Cang Prefecture were killed and captured!
Out of the thirteen cultivators of the Chen family, only I survived. As for the others, they couldn’t even find their bones. They could only place a cenotaph in the Chen family’s ancestral hall!”
As he spoke, tears rolled down Chen Xianhe’s face.
This was the first time he had heard of such a secret. Chen Daoxuan said indignantly,”” Won’t the Qian Yuan Sword Sect do anything about this? ” “Guan?”
Chen Xianhe shook his head.” Do you know why there is only one Golden Core cultivator guarding such a huge pass in the Southern Town Immortal City? ”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan seemed to have thought of something.
The Southern Mountain Pass had always been the pass where the Qianyuan Sword Sect and the Yun Nation fought the least.
In other words, not only was there not much risk in guarding this immortal city, but he would also gain a lot of battle merits.
It was impossible for Ye Wudao to get such a lucrative job if he didn’t have anyone above him.
In order to take all the battle achievements for himself, Ye Wudao even chose to guard the Southern Mountain’s City alone.
But who would have thought that the Xuan Qing Dao Alliance would choose to launch a surprise attack on the Southern Mountain’s City?
As expected.
“Ye Wudao’s biological father is the Third Elder of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, the famous Nascent Soul Perfected Lord!” Chen Xianhe explained in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan finally understood the cause and effect of the fall of the Southern Mountain’s City.
Chen Daoxuan opened his mouth and sighed,”” Even so, if the Qianyuan Sword Sect doesn’t kill Ye Wudao, aren’t they afraid that the cultivators on the battlefield of the Yun Nation will lose their morale? ”
“Military morale?”
Chen Xianhe shook his head.” How can you ask such a naive question? Do you think the Qianyuan Sword Sect commands the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea because of their morale? ”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but understand.
Indeed, the Qianyuan Sword Sect controlled the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea not because of the morale of the army, but because of naked interests.
If itinerant cultivators wanted to obtain cultivation resources and advance to the Foundation Establishment realm or even higher, going to the Yun Nation battlefield was the best way.
In the face of benefits, what was a fleeing Golden Core cultivator worth mentioning?
As for fairness, morality, and the injustice of those Cangzhou cultivators who died in battle, who would care?
Things that could not be done on Earth in his previous life, let alone in this cruel cultivation world.
Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan fell silent.
He looked at Chen Xianhe’s weathered face and swore to himself that if he succeeded in his cultivation in the future, he would seek justice for the 12 Immortal cultivators of the Chen Clan, as well as for Thirteenth Uncle, who had been tormented by hatred all these years!
” After this incident, the Qianyuan Sword Sect announced that they had lost the war in the Southern Mountain’s City. However, the cultivators of Cangzhou knew very well that it was not a war defeat at all. It was Ye Wudao who fled from the battle!”
Chen Xianhe shook his head.” Forget it. You’ve heard about it today, so just treat it as a dream. Don’t take it to heart. We can’t afford to offend the Ye family!”
Chen Xianhe couldn’t help but laugh at himself.”” Perhaps the Ye family doesn’t even know that they have an enemy like us on a small island in Guang ‘an Prefecture.”
Hearing these words, Chen Daoxuan could not help but feel somewhat depressed in his heart.
The most painful thing in life was to treat others as your mortal enemy, but in the eyes of your enemy, you were nothing..
