C637 The Broken World I will Give You One Hundred and One Points to Make You Proud
"That was a brilliant comeback, Black Robe! I'd give it a hundred and one points, just to make you proud!" Lee Yuanye exclaimed with a thumbs-up. Yet, being the self-absorbed person he was, he couldn't resist adding, "Seems like sparring with me has its benefits. Look at that comeback—perfect logic, commanding presence, absolutely flawless. It's like you've mastered the art of psychological warfare!"
Woo Zhengyang and the others naturally ignored Lee Yuanye, but they had to admit, Black Robe's move was incredibly satisfying. When the Red-clothed Demon King had questioned them, even Xuan Qixing was left speechless, making everyone think the humans had been in the wrong first.
No one expected the usually quiet Black Robe to know so many secrets and to lead the woman into admitting the truth word by word.
"You..." The Red-clothed Demon King realized he had been tricked, his face turning a deep shade of blue. "You humans are always like this—deceitful and cunning. Back then, it was your kind who broke the agreement first!"
"You're mistaken. We humans never broke the agreement. That mark was left by our ancestors after discussions with your demon clan's elders. During those talks, one of your elders was already plotting to deceive everyone and wasn't present, so he didn't know about the agreement. In the end, he brought about his own downfall!"
"It's impossible! That happened so many years ago. How could you possibly know? You must be making this up!"
"I know because my ancestors were part of the guardian clan left by the Ancestor for the Human Clan. They were involved in everything back then, including the fate of your elder. It was only by unlocking the mark of the Profound Mountain that my ancestors were able to end it. Without that mark, this world might have been ruled by your demon clan."
"I see now, you're one of the Moon Clan! I should have realized it when I saw your artifact. You're actually from the legendary Moon Clan!" Xuan Qixing exclaimed, suddenly understanding.
"The Moon Clan? Is that another clan from the ancient times?" Lee Yuanye asked, puzzled.
"The Moon Clan deserves even more respect than ours. They were the strongest clan beside the Ancestor and played a major role in the battles against the gods and demons. After the Ancestor left, they stayed behind as protectors of the Human Clan. But for some reason, they disappeared not long after."
"It was all because of the demon clan. To confront their elder, our Moon Clan was nearly wiped out. Even though some survived, they were left weakened and scattered. Many of them died without ever knowing their true identity."
"When did you find out about your true identity, sister, and why didn't you reveal it?"
"Our lineage only discovered our identity and mission during a great catastrophe by sheer chance. At that time, the world was in chaos, and we had many uncertainties. We could only secretly search for spiritual treasures to strengthen ourselves."
As she spoke, Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye both blushed slightly. Back then, they had caused a huge commotion at the Moon Light Martial Mansion due to its ambitions, even going so far as to bombard the place with an invincible cannon car.
Now, learning that their efforts to increase their strength were to protect the Human Clan, they couldn't help but feel awkward.
"My apologies," Woo Zhengyang said, bowing slightly. Regardless of past grievances, the history of the Moon Clan was enough for him to admit his mistake.
"Sister, I was wrong too. If I had known your clan was striving so hard for this reason, I would have helped. No, I would have given you all of my father's spiritual treasures!"
"It's alright. You weren't wrong. We were in different positions, so conflicts were inevitable. Besides, some things were deliberately kept from me, which led to misunderstandings."
"Are you done catching up? Moon Clan, ha! We've been looking for you for a long time," the Red-clothed Demon King sneered.
"Hold on a second. Given the history between our two clans and your sudden appearance here, let me ask you: were the last two great calamities your doing?" Xuan Qixing suddenly asked.
With Xuan Qixing's question, everyone seemed to have an epiphany. They had long known the truth about the great calamities and the cycles of different eras, leading them to speculate whether the ancient gods and demons were making a comeback. However, they overlooked the presence of the demon clan!
In the ancient era, the four clans, including the demon clan, held significant power. While the gods and demons had completely withdrawn from this world, the demon and human clans remained. Given the existing tensions between the two clans, it was highly plausible that the demon clan orchestrated everything.
"Heh... don't you claim to know everything? Yet you don't know this? Well, too bad, I'm not telling you..." The Red-clothed Demon King seized the opportunity to tease everyone, laughing heartily.
"Wow... Sis, your laughter is so enchanting, even your whole body seems to be laughing..." Lee Yuanye remarked. The Red-clothed Demon King's revealing attire only added to the allure of her laughter, sparking endless imagination.
Of course, at this moment, only Lee Yuanye would dare to call her "Sis" and flirt with the Red-clothed Demon King.
"Hehe... You've got a keen eye, little brother. So, what do you think? Is your big sister beautiful? Want to have some fun with me?" the Red-clothed Demon King teased, adding a playful sway to her movements.
"Beautiful, sure. But I wonder how strong you really are, sis. Can you protect me? If I agree to hang out with you, they might come after me."
"Don't worry, little brother. I can definitely protect you! I've got plenty of skilled folks under my wing, and there are lots of beautiful, charming women too. If you stick with me, I promise you'll be living the good life!"
"Shameless!" The man in the black robe couldn't help but mutter under his breath. Even though he knew they were just putting on an act, he couldn't stand their flirtatious banter.
"So, sis, tell me, is your clan behind the chaos in the world? If you guys really have such incredible power, I might just feel safe enough to join you and enjoy the good life."
"Whether we are or aren't, you'll find out if you come with me, won't you?"
"In that case, let me give you a little gift, sis!"
With that, Lee Yuanye brought out the Invincible Cannon Car...
