Chapter 185: The Clever Xuan Bird Clan Youth, the Events from Four Thousand Years Ago
Facing Chen Changsheng’s counter-question, the youth from the Xuan Bird Clan did not hesitate at all and directly touched his head to the ground, loudly declaring:
“I swear here on Tianxuan. The Xuan Bird Clan wishes to always coexist peacefully with the human clan and promote harmony between humans and demons.”
“If there ever comes a day when humans and demons truly go to war, the Xuan Bird Clan will surely stand by the side of the human clan.”
Looking at the young man from the Xuan Bird Clan before him, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
One could not help but say that this youth was truly too adept at assessing the situation. His character was completely opposite to Chen Shisan’s.
Wu Li had interfered in the affairs of the Western Continent, and now the demon clan was weakened. The deep-seated hatred between the two clans had already been established.
Once either clan gained power, the other would suffer severe damage.
Under such circumstances, asking someone from the human clan to save the demon clan was simply a pipe dream.
However, this youth named Tianxuan found a glimmer of hope within this seemingly hopeless situation.
The demon clan was not just a single race. Even if Wu Li personally intervened, he couldn’t claim to be able to exterminate all the demons in the world.
As long as the demons were not completely wiped out, their spark would forever remain.
If one day, a Heavenly Mandate Holder emerged among the demons, it could spell disaster for the human clan.
His words were also indirectly telling Chen Changsheng that he was willing to bear the hatred of humanity to act as a mediator between the two races.
As long as he did not d*e and neither did the Xuan Bird Clan, the human and demon clans would never go to war.
“Huff~”
Chen Changsheng gently exhaled and said, “I have to say, you are indeed very smart.”
“Originally, after answering some questions, I would send you on your way.”
“But your words truly moved me. Can you keep today’s vow forever?”
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan’s body trembled.
Because he finally found the Xuan Bird Clan’s chance at survival, and even the entire demon clan’s chance.
“The Xuan Bird Clan will never perish, and the vow will never be forgotten!”
“Very well, then I’ll give the Xuan Bird Clan a chance, and the demon clan a chance.”
“Get up!”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s intention, Tianxuan excitedly bowed three times to Chen Changsheng, then stood up respectfully.
In the face of this confusing situation, Chen Shisan spoke up beside him.
“Sir, what mistake did the demon clan make?”
“It’s not really a mistake, more like they chose the wrong side.”
“Four thousand years ago, before Emperor Huangtian bore the Heavenly Mandate, countless prodigies gathered in the Central Courtyard to compete.”
“And during this time, an event occurred.”
“The demon clan’s prodigy followed the son of the Forbidden Ground and plotted to k*ll someone.”
“That person was precisely one of the three main leaders of Emperor Huangtian’s elite troops, the founder of the Tiger Cavalry, Sun Huaiyu.”
Hearing the familiar name, Tianxuan’s eyes flashed with fear.
Because the name “Tiger Cavalry” was a nightmare for all the demons in the Western Continent.
“This is the mistake the demon clan made?”
“More or less, but this was only the beginning.”
“After Emperor Huangtian emerged, he unified the Central Courtyard with overwhelming momentum. Then, he turned his gaze outward.”
“And the Western Continent was Emperor Huangtian’s first target.”
“Why?”
Chen Shisan subconsciously asked.
“Even though Sun Huaiyu and the demon clan had a grudge, it shouldn’t extend to the entire Western Continent.”

Glancing at Chen Shisan’s puzzled expression, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips.
“Of course, it’s not that simple. You overlooked a problem.”
“Emperor Huangtian needed to bear the Heavenly Mandate and become the supreme ruler of the world. Naturally, he had to make everyone bow down.”
“At that time, although Emperor Huangtian unified the Central Courtyard and had overwhelming momentum,”
“the Western Continent, Northern Desert, and Southern Plain were only paying lip service.”
“There were grievances, and combined with the need to set an example, Emperor Huangtian chose the Western Continent as his target.”
“You didn’t consider this issue, which has something to do with your personality.”
“In the future, you might be very strong, but you will never become the supreme ruler of the world.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s evaluation, Chen Shisan scratched his head and said,
“I’ve never thought about becoming the supreme ruler of the world. I don’t care about others, let alone so many people.”
“As long as I can become stronger, I’m content.”
Regarding Chen Shisan’s attitude, Chen Changsheng smiled and didn’t say anything.
If Chen Shisan wanted to become the supreme ruler of the world, then Chen Shisan wouldn’t be Chen Shisan anymore.
After answering Chen Shisan’s question, Chen Changsheng looked again at the slightly lowered head of Tianxuan and continued,
“When Emperor Huangtian waged war on the Western Continent and engaged in a bloody battle with the Western Continent’s demon clan,”
“the demon clan, due to Gongsun Huaiyu’s incident, had already harbored resentment against Emperor Huangtian.”
“You adhered to the principle of walking down a dark path and secretly contacted the Sacred Forbidden Ground, confronting Emperor Huangtian who had yet to bear the Heavenly Mandate with the strength of an entire continent.”
“But no matter how many calculations you made, you never anticipated how quickly Emperor Huangtian’s strength would grow.”
“Nor did you anticipate that after crippling the Kunlun Sacred Ground, the two great powers of the Eastern Wastes would form an alliance with the Purple House Sacred Ground.”
“Forty-two living fossils of the demon clan, plus seven individuals who came out of the Sacred Forbidden Ground.”
“Forty-nine top-tier powerhouses joined forces to lay a killing formation, preparing to eliminate the former Emperor Huangtian.”
“That battle was fraught with danger. Even the mighty Emperor Huangtian was trapped for a full three months.”
“This was the last chance given to you by heaven, but unfortunately, you proved useless. You failed to k*ll Emperor Huangtian within those three months.”
“After three months, a person emerged from the Purple House Sacred Ground with a method to break the formation.”
“The formation was broken, and Emperor Huangtian displayed his divine might. Forty-two living fossils fell on the spot, thirty-eight of them.”
“The remaining four were seriously injured and fled. Within half a month, they perished.”
“As for the seven who came out of the Sacred Forbidden Ground, Emperor Huangtian killed them so thoroughly that they had no way out.”
“In the end, the Sacred Forbidden Ground intervened and rescued one of them. The other six were utterly destroyed by Emperor Huangtian.”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, a cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
The Xuan Bird Clan was destroyed, and his father had ordered him to find someone who could save the demon clan.
Although his father hadn’t told him the name of this person, based on some information, he had guessed who it was.
Originally, this hope was very slim, but it seemed that heaven truly did not want the demon clan to be annihilated.
In the vast sea of people, he actually encountered him.
And his words just now confirmed his suspicions even more.
This person in front of him was indeed the former Purple House Sacred Son, rumored to be Emperor Huangtian’s master.
Chen Changsheng, who could control the grand trends of the world without leaving the “Sea of Learning”!
Thinking of this, Tianxuan clasped his hands and said, “Senior, the demon clan once went astray, but we truly know our mistakes.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed, “Of course, you know your mistakes. If you didn’t, the demon clan probably wouldn’t even have its current status.”
“The demon clan’s high-ranking officials teamed up with the Forbidden Ground to k*ll Emperor Huangtian.”
“Such actions naturally angered some people, including Emperor Huangtian’s direct disciple, Gongsun Huaiyu.”
“Eight hundred bronze Tiger Cavalry galloped across the Western Continent. You trapped Emperor Huangtian for three months, and the Tiger Cavalry killed for three months.”
