Chapter 1089: Chapter 789: Blood Clan Ballad (2)

Su Jiu’s expression changed suddenly when she heard the words "Blood Clan." She said in a complicated tone, "So you all know... Well, at this point, it’s impossible to hide those things anymore."

"This was originally the deepest secret buried in my heart. I thought I would never mention it again in this lifetime and would never use this identity again..."

As she spoke these words, a trace of wistfulness appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

She tried to calm her emotions, looked at Shen Tang and Shen Li, and showed a gentle smile, "Don’t stand outside. Come in and sit down. I’ll slowly tell you everything."

"Okay."

Shen Tang and Shen Li followed Su Jiu into the room.

The room was very clean. There were several flower pots on the balcony with plants like green radish and orchids, and a faint floral fragrance permeated the room, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Su Jiu let the two sit down, poured a cup of brewed floral tea, and handed it over. She sat down across the table, "Children, just ask whatever you want."

Shen Tang took a sip of tea and carefully spoke, "Auntie, please start by telling your own story."

"I am of pure blood from the Blood Clan. My real name is not Su Jiu. This name was given to me as a false identity by Jin to conceal my identity, claiming I was a female from the Red Moon Fox Clan."

"My true name is Ying Jiu."

Shen Tang said in surprise, "It sounds like a very old family name. Auntie, are you from the Blood Race Royal Family?"

Su Jiu shook her head, "I am not of the Blood Racel Royal Family, but come from the Priest Clan, which, like the Royal Family, belongs to the oldest generative family, a status second only to the Royal Family."

Listening to his mother talking about these past events, Shen Li also felt a surge of indescribable emotions.

He pursed his lips and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Priest Clan... At the time, we found those murals and history books in the Beast World Blood Clan’s territory, although they were fragmented, they recorded that when the Blood Clan faced extinction, the Priest Clan sacrificed themselves to preserve the last Blood Clan bloodline."

"Since then, the Blood Clan no longer had the Priest Clan."

"The historical records are indeed correct, but there is one point not recorded in them." Su Jiu nodded, "During that cataclysm, the Priest Clan did sacrifice themselves, transforming into the final force to protect the Blood Clan’s last bloodline. But besides this, the Priest Clan left behind a bloodline, which is me."

"Back then, the Blood Clan’s High Priest, who was my mother, had a total of three children."

"I was the youngest, with two older brothers above me."

"The Priest Clan’s inheritance is always passed down to females, so from birth, I was already appointed as the next priest."

"But soon after, my mother foresaw that the Blood Clan would likely face a catastrophic disaster in the future, possibly being completely erased from history."

"This catastrophe would be the greatest disaster the Blood Clan had ever faced, a disaster unavoidable; however, from it, my mother divined a spark of revival."

"At that time, the Blood Clan had been hunted for hundreds of years. This disaster might become a turning point where the Blood Clan could reverse their fate."

"The divination showed that if we could survive this world-destroying calamity, the Blood Clan would usher in a rejuvenation."

"So, when the world-ending calamity arrived, the Blood Clan and Divine Hall forces engaged in an unprecedented battle... In the end, through sacrifices, the Priest Clan and various Blood Clan families repelled the Divine Hall forces. They also left me as the hidden bloodline of the Blood Clan."

Su Jiu spoke at length, revealing the Blood Clan’s past.

Shen Li and Shen Tang listened, with astonishment on their faces.

Does that mean Su Jiu was born hundreds of years ago?

She... has lived for several centuries?! How is it possible?!

Su Jiu naturally saw their confusion and smiled slightly, "I haven’t been living continuously from centuries ago to now. I was sleeping, only waking up twenty years ago."

Shen Tang was stunned, "Sleeping... awakening, what does this mean?"

Su Jiu explained, "The Blood Clan’s physique differs from ordinary people. There is a secret technique that can temporarily stop life’s flow, making it seem as if sleeping."

"During this period, one won’t grow or age, and life remains fixed at that moment before sleeping, until awakening when life time resumes its flow."

She spoke slowly, looking out the window as if recalling many past events. Her charming and serene voice carried a gentle sigh, "Back then, my mother and brothers foresaw the Blood Clan’s impending disaster. Not only did they escort the Royal Family’s orphans and a select few Blood Clan children from their territory, but they also sealed me into sleep to preserve the Priest Clan’s last bloodline."
