…

The book was very thick. It did not seem like a cultivation technique, and there were many hidden records within it.

Ye Xiao only closed the book when he saw that it was about time to end work in the evening.

That book roughly told the story of a certain year when the star beasts invaded, and humans rose up to resist the beast calamity.

Ye Xiao had previously read from other books that when the front line was unable to suppress the impact of the star beasts, they would open up some gaps in the front line appropriately and allow in a portion of the star beasts.

Firstly, it could buffer the onslaught.

Secondly, it could temper the human race’s ability at the rear.

What that book recorded was a beast calamity more than 100 years ago, which was also the last time humanity suffered a major one.

According to the records, although that beast calamity was not the largest beast calamity in human history, it almost wiped out the entire nine provinces.

It could be said to be the biggest invasion disaster in the history of the nine provinces!

Many large states in that world worked together to drive the beast calamity toward the nine provinces, causing the nine provinces to suffer the brunt of it.

There were many star beasts that entered the nine provinces, and there were also many martial artists born during that period.

The one that came to Jianghai city and a few other cities was a star beast called King El.

It was a powerful star beast with a dragon-grade bloodline!

Legend has it that it had the ability to resurrect the dead. As long as it had one hand or a piece of flesh left, it would eventually resurrect.

Every time it resurrected, its strength would return to its peak state!

That battle was extremely tragic. The Zhong province that Jianghai city belonged to had sacrificed a divine grandmaster and a total of eight great sects!

Only then did they seal separate pieces of its physical body.

“This plot…”

Ye Xiao fell into deep thought.

Why did it sound a little familiar?

It was extremely similar to the plot in a novel.

Could that map of King El be used to mark the location of King El’s physical body?

Obtaining the map, collecting the seven pieces of King El’s corpse, and summoning King El back to life?

However, was there any relationship between the garrison team’s tiger demon and the evil spirit?

If there was a connection, then it meant that there should be more than one evil spirit in Jianghai city.

Looks like there will be a lot of trouble in the future!

Ye Xiao sighed slightly and was about to put The Legend Under the Starry Sky back on the bookshelf when a familiar voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

“You like reading such books too?”

Ye Xiao paused and turned around to take a look.

“Mr. Yang.”

The person who appeared was the head of the personnel department, Yang Zhengyi. For the time being, he could be considered Ye Xiao’s superior.

“I didn’t disturb you, right?”

Yang Zhengyi smiled.

Ye Xiao nodded.

“Of course not.”

“Why were you interested in reading this book?”

“I had nothing to do. I saw this book and thought it was quite interesting, so I took a few more glances. Mr. Yang, have you read this book before?”

“A little. It was written by the older generation. In my era, it sold quite well. What are your thoughts on it?”

“I don’t really have much to say about it. I just feel that those divine snd great sects who stood up for humanity were somewhat tragic as well as heroic. It’s quite admirable!”

“It’s rare for you to think like this. There aren’t many people who remember history now.”

Ding!

The evening clock chimed as Ye Xiao put the book back on the bookshelf.
