Chapter 974: The Ancient Race's Malice towards Zhongzhou Continent

Hearing that a force with powerful Dou Sheng disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Feng was slightly shocked, and could only think that the culprit was the ancient race.

After all, apart from them, Lin Feng couldn't think of anyone else who would have the mind and ability to destroy the Fu family that Zhao Ran mentioned.

After all, Dou Sheng masters are rare outside of the ancient races.

At this time, Zhao Ran continued to say: "At the beginning, after the first tower masters of the Dan Tower in the Burning Flame Valley died one after another, those Dou Di families, for some unknown reason, suddenly began a period of civil strife. Even in this civil strife, the Xiao family, which was the first force in the Dou Qi Continent at the time, was directly wiped out. Then, the non-bloodline Dou Sheng powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent began to disappear inexplicably one after another."

"The successive occurrence of these major events caused the unprepared Central Plains to become a mess, and many forces fell into mutual suspicion."

At this point, Zhao Ran's eyes were unconsciously filled with gloom, and he continued: "However, this suspicion did not last long. The Fu family suddenly stood up and announced the answer. The disappearance of the Dou Sheng strongman in Zhongzhou Continent was the work of the ancient races."

"The purpose is to curb the development of non-ancient races and keep the highest combat power of the Central Plains continent at a level that cannot threaten their ancient races. In this way, they can continue to dominate the Douqi Continent forever."

"what?!"

Even Lin Feng, who had read the original novel, was instantly shocked when he heard this.

Then, all kinds of things flashed through his mind.

"That makes sense. If that's the case, then it makes sense why there are so few non-bloodline Dou Shengs on the Dou Qi Continent."

After listening to the former's explanation, Lin Feng suddenly understood many things in his mind.

At this moment, he finally understood why non-bloodline Douluo masters were so rare in Zhongzhou Continent.

And why do some forces in the Central Continent keep a low profile even when a Dou Sheng appears?

In this situation, who, except for the forces of the ancient race, would dare to brazenly display the powerful Fighting Saints to show off?

But then, Lin Feng thought of something wrong in Zhao Ran's words, and asked curiously: "Sister Zhao, why would other forces in Zhongzhou Continent believe in the Fu family?"

"Because... it is said that the patriarch of the Fu family at that time, relying on his own powerful strength at the peak level of eight-star Dou Sheng, somehow captured a joint Dou Sheng team sent by the ancient race, led by a six-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, and including people from the seven ancient races."

"In the end, the Fu family beat those people half to death, and then hung them at the city gate to be sentenced and beheaded. In an attempt to awaken the blood of non-bloodline people across the continent, so that everyone can unite to deal with the ancient race and safeguard their own dignity and interests."

In response to Lin Feng's question, Zhao Ran was silent for a long time, and then he said something shocking.

"This, this. The people of the Fu family are really amazing!"

At this moment, Lin Feng didn’t know what to say.

But he could only admire the ambition of the Fu family's patriarch.

And thinking about what Zhao Ran said before, the Fu family had been destroyed, and the fact that there was no force on the Douqi Continent right now that could resist the ancient race.

Lin Feng knew in his heart that the other party must have failed at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng was silent for a while, and then he asked again: "Sister Zhao, what's next?"

"Afterwards, after the Fu family executed that team, only a few forces on the Zhongzhou Continent publicly stood up to express their support. As for the others, they were either fence-sitters who would help whoever had the upper hand, and they didn't care about their own dignity at all. They just wanted to survive. As for the others, they directly chose to surrender to the ancient races for the sake of their own interests and were willing to become running dogs."

At this point, Zhao Ran's expression sank slightly, and he continued, "But not long after, the ancient races and their lackeys turned this into a story that the Fu family attacked the ancient race's patrol team for a little profit. In the end, under the siege of the major ancient races, the alliance headed by the Fu family was quickly destroyed."

"These things are in line with the character of those ancient races."

After hearing what the former said, Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, not feeling surprised at all.

After all, let alone the non-bloodline people on the Douqi Continent, even the Xiao family, which is also an ancient race.

Because Xiao Xuan's strength was too incredible back then, when he was ambushed by the Soul Clan, the other major Dou Di families basically chose to stand idly by.

After all, unless you are a fool, it is impossible for anyone to believe that when Emperor Hun Tian led most of the Dou Sheng powerhouses in the clan to besiege Xiao Xuan, he could withstand the support of the entire ancient clan with only an eight-star Dou Sheng level Void Devouring Flame.

What's more, among Void Devouring Flame's opponents is Gu Yuan, a powerful man at the peak level of a nine-star Douluo.

As for the other ancient families except the Ancient Clan, they were basically watching the show the whole time, and they were probably enjoying it in their hearts.

Emperor Hun Tian, ​​this idiot, actually sacrificed a strong man from his own clan to solve a big problem for them.

After all, if Xiao Xuan successfully breaks through to the Dou Emperor, he will basically be the only one who has the final say on the Douqi Continent.

By then, even they would have to give up their territory and external cultivation resources and become a small transparent

But then, Lin Feng said puzzledly: "However, these don't seem to have much to do with your Zhao family, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ran immediately shook his head and explained: "Since it wasn't too long ago, and my brother was older than you are now. Therefore, we still know some information."

"Back then, the Douqi Continent was dozens of times more prosperous than it is now. Although the number of non-bloodline Dousheng powerhouses combined was not as high as those of the ancient races with Doudi bloodlines, they were not completely defenseless."

"Take my Zhao family for example. Back then, it was also a large family on the Douqi Continent with several branches. The strength of each family's patriarch ranged from a half-saint to a one-star Dousheng."

"As for our eldest branch, we have a six-star Dou Sheng-level ancestor in charge. My grandfather, who was the patriarch of the Zhao family's main line, also has the strength of a two-star Dou Sheng peak."

After listening to the former's description, Lin Feng said in amazement: "Your Zhao family was indeed very powerful back then. If you put such strength into today, I'm afraid some ancient races would have to retreat after seeing it."

To be honest, Lin Feng was also very surprised at the prosperity of the Douqi Continent a thousand years ago.

After all, when he read the original novel, the specific situation of the continent thousands of years ago did not appear much.

This was the first time he knew about these things.

"It's a pity that these things were gone before I was born."

Zhao Ran smiled bitterly, and then continued: "More than a thousand years ago, after the ancestor of Fenyan Valley and the Lord of Danta died one after another, the land of Zhongzhou no longer had the confidence to compete with the ancient races. After that, some Dousheng strongmen began to disappear one after another. Even the ancestor of our Zhao family was attacked and died in a certain incident."

"Although my grandfather survived the purge of the ancient race, he was later killed by the Soul Palace Master, Hun Mie Sheng."

Hearing this, Lin Feng instantly thought of the content of the original novel, then frowned slightly and said, "I heard before that when the Soul Palace's master, Hun Miesheng, was just building the Soul Palace, he slaughtered more than a dozen forces in Zhongzhou in one go to establish his prestige, and among them were five two-star peak powerhouses."

"It seems that your grandfather also died in Hun Miesheng's attempt to establish his authority."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of regret in Lin Feng's tone.

"Yes, if the ancestor was still alive, he would not be afraid of the soul being destroyed, but it's a pity."

Hearing the former's words, Zhao Ran nodded first, then smiled bitterly and said: "However, it's fortunate that you know this."

Hearing this, Lin Feng naturally would not say that he was a time traveler, so he just spread his hands and said, "I heard it from others by accident."

Zhao Ran did not continue to focus on this matter. After calming down, he continued, "After the massacre led by the Soul Palace Master, more than 90% of the members of our Zhao family, whether in our first branch or other branches, were unable to escape the disaster. Even my parents escaped with my two brothers, despite being seriously injured, after my grandfather's desperate resistance."

"Later, my parents went to the Central Region and gathered some of the Zhao family members who had escaped from the Soul Palace due to various other reasons, and finally formed the current Zhao family."

"However, since I was born more than 700 years later, I learned about these things from my brothers' descriptions and family history books."

As he spoke, Zhao Ran waved his hand in a nonchalant manner.

"Alas, things are unpredictable!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng also let out a long sigh and sighed.

Before the great purge of ancient races, who could have imagined that a clan as large as the Zhao family would fall so suddenly?——

Note: Fangtou refers to a clan branch, and the patriarch of Fangtou is the patriarch of the branch.
