”What does that mean?” Zuo Yiyun asked, was this all for her? Why was she a good man? Why is it that the Boschs are heartless?

”You can't leak it.” Elder Zuo said with a smile.

Other than Shui Qinan who had an indifferent expression, the others were all confused. Shui Qinan looked at the few words that appeared on the wall.

”The few of you should have received the news already. Over a hundred members of the Shui Family were harmed in one night, and even those few inside the Yan Qi Kingdom were unable to escape.” The Shui family had always been mysterious, and it was even harder to find their location. Only one person had the ability to destroy the Shui Family.

”Got it.” Lin Xuanyi nodded to the others. Chu Tianyan even looked at Shui Qinan worriedly, but the latter had an indifferent face. It was as if she had nothing to do with the Shui family that had been slaughtered.

”Our five great families aren't actually just people with Yan Qi Kingdom. When Yan Qi Kingdom was first created, we five great families existed as well, and we helped the Hou clan keep them safe. He allowed our five great families peace, and we were hidden here because we are a Divine Beast Family.” Old man Zuo's expression turned serious.

”Divine beast?” Shui Qinan subconsciously looked at Zhu Er.

The Zuo is the Azure Dragon Family, the Lin Family is the White Tiger Family, the Chu Family is the Vermillion Bird Family, the Mo Family is the Xuan Wu Family, and the Shui Family is the Qilin Family. The Qilins have not appeared for thousands of years, and the four spirits have pledged their allegiance to their masters. ” Elder Zuo said slowly.

However, none of the five Divine Beasts had been chosen for the imperial edict, and the Zhao Court Emperor was furious enough to create a disaster. In that disaster, the five Divine Beasts used their divine power to protect the five Great Families, and some people were able to establish the current stage of the competition.

Afterwards, the five Divine Beasts fell into a deep slumber.

It had been thousands of years since the divine beasts had awakened. The Seamless Beasts had been tamed, and they were willing to be their master's mounts.

The five families gradually concealed their identities.

But no matter how much they hid, when the Yan Qi Kingdom was about to open up a country, they were finally discovered by the imperial government. The imperial government's people started to hunt down the five families, and with no other choice, the five family's patriarchs and the emperor of Yan Qi Kingdom began to cooperate. They helped the Hou family conquer the world, and the Hou family protected the five families for generations. The five great clans changed their surnames. Every hundred years, two clans would enter the imperial court.

However, they didn't expect that the people from the imperial government would still discover them.

After elder Zuo finished speaking, the Dannya Palace fell into silence.

”That is to say, the people of the imperial edict were doing it for their own selfish ends?” Chu Tianyan said in disdain, he truly could not afford to lose, it was the divine beasts that did not choose them as the emperor.

”You can't put it that way either. Once you become a Divine Beast Family, you can obtain an Emperor Jade totem. Using the Emperor Jade totem, you can obtain a very high cultivation. Legend has it that you can become a demigod.” Elder Zuo explained.

Zhao Court Emperor has always been very ambitious and was determined to become a demigod, but the divine beasts did not choose them. This made Zhao Court Emperor very angry.

”In that case, the Emperor Jade Totem of the Shui Family has already been taken by the imperial court?” Shui Qinan said indifferently.

”Probably.” Elder Zuo did not understand why Shui Qinan asked that, when she suddenly thought of Shui Qinan's surname, he retreated two steps and said: ”You are a member of the Shui family?”

”You just realized it.” Zuo Yiyun said as his mouth twitched.
