I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1227 The Reason for the Extermination of the Clan

"Two years ago, the Flame Spider Clan suddenly attacked the Hundred Flower Clan. Although the two clans were geographically close, they were not exactly enemies. Nobody knew why they suddenly started fighting."

"The Hundred Flowers Clan... I think you should know a little about them. This clan is not very good at fighting, but the few who are good at fighting are indeed very strong. In fact, considering the strength that the two clans have shown, even if the Hundred Flowers Clan is defeated in the end, it should not have been beaten like this in just two years."

As soon as the Fire Ape cultivator finished speaking, Ning Ruan cast a curious glance at him, "Has the Flame Spider Clan suddenly gained a powerful expert? Or have they acquired more spiritual or immortal artifacts?"

"Cough-cough-"

Both cultivators choked.

The cultivator who had remained silent until now, and who had transformed into the appearance of a Spirit Sand Clan member, smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. What kind of divine object is a Celestial Artifact? How could the Flame Spider and Hundred Flower Clans possibly possess one?"

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator chuckled and said, "It's neither a celestial artifact nor a spiritual artifact. It's just that the Flame Spider Clan has been hiding its strength well. There are so many powerful figures hidden in the clan. Even the mid-level cultivators in the clan are more numerous than those who have shown themselves before."

He sighed and shook his head. "Under such circumstances, the Hundred Flowers Clan lost the initiative and was defeated as soon as they engaged in battle."

Ning Ruan: "Did the Phoenix Clan also agree to let them fight?"

The cultivator who resembled a member of the Spirit Sand Clan said, "They disagree, but they didn't stop it either. The Phoenix Sparrow Clan's point is that as long as it's not a strong clan bullying a weak clan, they shouldn't interfere."

“However…” he continued, “Although I don’t know much, I can guess that the Phoenix Clan definitely intervened. Their bottom line is that they cannot let the Hundred Flowers Clan be completely wiped out.”

Where are the rest of the Hundred Flowers Clan?

"..." This question stumped the two of them.

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator shook his head and said, "Although the war has ended, there is still a blood feud between the two clans. The Flame Spider Clan is reluctant to deliberately exterminate the Hundred Flower Clan because of the Phoenix Sparrow Clan's reputation."

"But if we were to run into each other under normal circumstances, how could we not fight?"

"We haven't seen the Hundred Flowers Clan for a long time, so naturally we don't know where they are hiding now."

"The Boundless Realm is so vast, it's not easy to find them in a short time, whether they're hiding in some small world or a minor remnant world."

Ning remained silent.

The Lingsha Clan cultivator hesitated for a moment before tentatively saying, "Fellow Daoist, if you have an old friend who is a Baihua Clan cultivator... it's best not to inquire about it in public, lest the Yanzhu Clan find out."

"Actually, it's good for them to lay low for now; it's really not advisable for them to show their faces."

"You guys seem to be quite protective of the Hundred Flowers Clan?" Ning Ruan retorted.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment after these words were spoken.

The expressions on the two cultivators' faces visibly changed.

The cultivator, who resembled a fire ape, tightened his grip on the wine cup instantly, his knuckles turning white.

The cultivator with the appearance of a Spirit Sand Clan subconsciously leaned back, his relaxed posture instantly tensing up, a hint of panic and vigilance flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, you...you are Yan..."

Before the Fire Ape Clan cultivator could finish speaking, Ning Ruan interrupted him, "Don't worry, I'm neither from the Hundred Flowers Clan nor the Flame Spider Clan."

"However, you can tell me about the Flame Spider Clan now."

"..." The two cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What does Fellow Daoist want to know about the Flame Spider Clan? We may not know much about it either."

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator spoke solemnly.

Ning Ruan: "How are they doing now?"

"There's been no movement for now, but the Hundred Flowers Clan has already taken over most of their various small worlds and spirit stone mines."

"but……"

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Ning Ruan asked, "But what?"

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator remained silent, his expression slightly conflicted.

Ning Ruan didn't say much, and with a wave of her hand, she threw out two more spirit crystals. "Can't I say?"

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator held the spirit crystal, somewhat at a loss.

Just by answering some questions that many cultivators in the main hall below already knew the answers to, each person actually received two spirit crystals for free...

He swallowed hard; even though he couldn't say it, he didn't feel anything at that moment.

"Actually, it's not that I can't say it. I only heard about it once about half a month ago from a fellow Daoist who was drinking."

"He said that the Flame Spider Clan seems to be on high alert again..."

"On high alert..." Ning Ruan asked in surprise, "Who are they going to fight this time?"

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator shook his head. "I don't know. That fellow Daoist didn't say either. Although I'm curious about this, I can't ask too many questions. I actually suspect that he is a member of the Flame Spider Clan, but he probably doesn't know much either."

"I didn't think much of it at the time, just assumed he was talking nonsense because he was drunk. But then I thought about it again, and realized that I really hadn't seen any Flame Spider Clan cultivators come to the Eternal Domain in the past two months."

"The only one who came was that fellow Daoist from half a month ago, but... I'm not sure if he's really a member of the Flame Spider Clan, and I haven't seen him since then."

"Perhaps I'm being too sensitive. Fellow Daoist, just take it as a joke and don't take it seriously. This matter is of utmost importance."

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator's expression became more serious. "Logically speaking, they only recently conquered the Hundred Flowers Clan. Even reorganizing will take a lot of time. How can they possibly spare the resources to continue fighting?"

This is also why he was conflicted about whether or not he should say it.

He was afraid the news was wrong, that he was being too sensitive and had believed a drunkard's joke.

I'm also afraid... that the news might be true.

If that's true, who can guarantee that it wasn't their own race that got attacked this time?

Although he transformed into a powerful fire ape, he was ultimately not one.

His race was just a small one in the vicinity.

They are no different from the Hundred Flowers Clan.

If they were really beaten, the outcome would probably be no different.

Ning Ruan looked at him.

He slowly opened his lips and said, "Logically speaking, as you said before, the Hundred Flowers Clan and the Flame Spider Clan are about the same strength."

"But the result seems a bit unreasonable."

That's really how strong he is.

The other one is the sixth brother, who is hiding his true strength.

The Fire Ape Clan cultivator suddenly raised his head, his expression somewhat grim.

Don't wait for him to speak.

Ning Ruan had already picked up the drink on the table, taken a small sip, and gestured to dismiss the guests: "Thank you both for today."

"..."

The two monks stood up at the same time.

They all politely expressed their gratitude.

Then, considerately, they left the second floor.

After they left, they did not continue drinking.

They all left absentmindedly.
