David picked up the tea cup, glanced at the dark green tea inside, frowned slightly, and did not drink it.
The tea had a faint fishy smell, clearly not intended for humans.
Hu Mazi followed David’s example, holding a teacup as his eyes scanned the hall, with complex emotions flashing within.
This place used to be the ancestral home of his Hu clan, but now it had become the palace of the demon race. Everything had changed, and he was filled with mixed feelings.
Silence fell over the hall for a moment, only the occasional light from the magical patterns on the dome illuminated the three people’s faces, creating a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
David closed his eyes, as if resting, but in fact, he was secretly using his divine sense to investigate the situation of the entire palace.
This Black Demon Palace was even bigger than he had imagined, with a complicated internal structure. He could vaguely sense dozens of powerful auras, including some that were comparable or even stronger than Youyue.
It seemed that the Black Demon Palace was much more complex than imagined.
After an unknown amount of time, a gray-robed old man walked in while carrying a yellowed ancient book in his hand. He bowed to Youyue and said, “Reporting to the witch, I have researched all the records about Jiupan Mountain and found some information about the Hu clan.”
Hu Mazi suddenly stood up, looking at the old man excitedly: “How? Is it recorded up there? What exactly happened to my Hu clan?”
The old man glanced at Hu Mazi, then at Youyue. Seeing Youyue nod in agreement, he slowly said, “Ancient records state that there was indeed a Hu family living on Mount Jiupan. They were a famous talisman making family in the Fourth Heaven at that time. Several talisman masters had emerged from that family, and at their peak, they even had a cultivator at the fourth level of the Earth God realm.”
“Then what happened?” Hu Mazi urged, his voice trembling with excitement.
The old man sighed and continued, “About 2,800 years ago, the Hu clan was suddenly attacked by an unknown force. The entire mountain range was razed to the ground, and almost all the clan members were wiped out. Only a few people managed to escape and disappeared without a trace.”
As for the identity of the attackers, the ancient texts did not provide details, only stating that they were a group of strong men dressed in black, whose methods were extremely cruel.
“What?!” Hu Mazi fell silent, staggering back a step, his face ashen. “Annihilated? My Hu Clan was completely wiped out?”
His eyes were filled with pain and disbelief, his hands were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood was dripping from between his fingers. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn’t accept the news when he heard it with his own ears.
