The weather in Jingzhou is getting colder and colder.

It snowed heavily in Wuling City today.

When the people woke up early in the morning, a thick layer of white snow had already piled up on the street.

Brazier stoves are used in many places in the Wuwang Mansion.

In the study, Li Yu leaned against the Grand Master's chair, and a pottery stove was placed in front of him.

It has been three days since the Hou clan defeated.

Li Yu successfully refined the origin of the cave and closed the space crack.

In subsequent searches, Tieshan found the secret library of the Hou clan and obtained a lot of martial arts and intelligence from it.

There is also a historical book recorded by the Hou clan.

The real master of the cave heaven is not the Hou clan, but from an unknown large force.

The great forces in that place were in danger of extermination, and the remaining sects took the cave heaven to escape from the pursuit and found a world temporarily to live in.

As soon as the remaining forces appeared, they conquered the top forces in this world through their powerful strength and resources.

However, the former's methods are too high and the oppression of local monks is too strong.

So five hundred years later, local monks joined forces to enter the cave and destroyed the remaining forces.

But after victory, local monks fought fiercely to compete for profit.

At that time, the ancestor of the Hou family pretended to join forces with others, and after destroying other forces, he then attacked from behind, seriously injured the cooperative forces.

However, the power of the clan was not strong at that time. Even if he became the winner at that time, he still could not unify the entire world.

In order to avoid revenge, the ancestor of the Hou clan refined the origin of the cave and fled from his hometown.

But the other party never expected that after leaving his hometown, nearly half of the people died of curses after they were cursed.

At the same time, the cave heaven also suffered heavy damage and could no longer generate spiritual energy on its own.

The ancestor of the Hou family has been looking for a suitable world to let the cave heaven depend on it.

But it has not been found.

Because the spiritual energy in the cave heaven is getting less and less, the ancestor of the Hou family decided to claim the source essence in order to preserve his strength.

The subsequent fifth and seventh ancestors also praised themselves one after another.

Until this time, the Hou clan still had more than 100,000 tribe members and a large number of outsiders.

The Hou clan was very harsh on outsiders, and they treated them as slaves, insulting and beating them at will.

These people had long held grudges in their hearts, but they were afraid of Hou's strength and dared not resist.

But as the Hou family's strong men successively claimed to die, these outsiders finally developed a strange intention and launched a rebellion.

However, they still underestimated the strength of the Hou family, and the rebellion was quickly eliminated.

But the Hou clan also suffered heavy losses, especially the new generation was almost incomplete.

The still alive outsiders were also oppressed by the Hou family.

In the next three hundred years, the rebellion of outsiders never stopped.

Sometimes there are a few people, sometimes there are tens of thousands.

Until outsiders almost died, many incomplete babies were born within the Hou clan due to intermarriage.

Only then did they understand their mistakes and quickly alleviate the oppression of outsiders.

Unfortunately it was too late.

At this time, the Hou family still had tens of thousands of tribes.

What really made the Hou family fall into the population trap and decline was an internal strife.

The civil strife caused by the distribution of interests lasted less than half a month.

But it caused several generations of the Hou family to be in a hiatus, and the number of people was reduced to less than half.

At this point, the leader of the Hou clan at that time had realized that the clan had entered a critical moment and could not wander.

So he chose a world at will and leaned on the cave.

That world is China, a thousand years ago.

After that, every hundred years, the cave will open a crack to lure outsiders into it and improve bloodlines.

Because at that time there was too little spiritual energy in the cave heaven and could no longer support the clan members' cultivation.

In order to prevent repeating the same mistakes, Hou has never dared to let too many outsiders come in.

And everyone who mistakes will be brainwashed and easy to control.

Such days lasted for less than three hundred years, and civil strife broke out again within the Hou family.

And this time, the number of Hou clan members was reduced to less than 3,000.

Seeing this, the patriarch at that time came up with a solution, perhaps to continue to pass on the family.

But he didn't dare to use it until he died, afraid that he would not be able to see his ancestors.

It was not until two hundred years later that the Hou clan leader launched a major purge and successfully implemented that method.

The forbidden weapon was used.

The magic weapon can continuously transform the bloodlines of nearby human races, giving them a long lifespan and powerful strength.

At the beginning, this incident won cheers from countless tribesmen.

But it was not until they found that they would fall into blood madness every once in a while that they realized that something was wrong.

They never found a solution until they found that eating flesh and blood of the same race could relieve it.

This discovery was like opening a Pandora's door.

The Hou clan members detained those with defects, and kept the most serious group in captivity, and killed them regularly to make them dried bacon.

This strategy has continued since then and continues to this day.

"It's ironic that they prospered because of betrayal, and they also fell because of betrayal."

After reading the records, Li Yu shook his head slightly in his heart.

Although Hou's records kept not explaining why those internal turmoils arose.

However, in the speculation left by the last patriarch Hou Minghua, it was believed that a pair of ancestors who were brothers betrayed each other, which eventually led to the intensification of the conflict and turned into a battle between the two factions.

Hou Minghua left notes in many books recording the family, criticizing some of the things done by his ancestors and repenting on some cruel things.

The other party also left a note, which recorded his experience in how to control his bloodline abilities and warned him of his younger generations.

"You should always have compassion so that you can never lose your true nature."

Li Yu thought of the scene when he saw that sentence and sighed slightly, "It's a pity that a talented person was born in such a cruel hell."

After growing up in a family full of betrayal, killing, brothers fighting, captive ranks, and devouring people, you can still have such a normal view.

The other party has a really superior character and mind.

Li Yu stood up and came to the small courtyard outside the study.

He has been refining the origin of the cave in recent days and has not had time to see the treasures he obtained from the secret room.

There were snowflakes flying in the courtyard. The ground that had been cleaned up once again was covered with another layer of white snow.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Li Yu waved his sleeves and three black shadows appeared in front of him.

The three ghosts showed their fish scales.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Yu asked when he saw the three ghosts trembled all over, his eyes were frightened, and he frowned.

"Your Majesty, the little ghosts will definitely practice and be obedient in the future!"

Fish Scam's eyes came back to their senses, and she knelt down at Li Yu with a "pop".

The head of the bull family dog ​​next to him also kowtowed repeatedly and cried bitterly.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Yu was very confused by the sudden actions of the three ghosts.

"You put a strong corpse in Tianya Palace, isn't you just to warn and test the little ghosts?"

Fish Scale stopped kowtowing, raised her eyes and said carefully.

"Why did I forget this!"

Li Yu suddenly realized in his heart that the ancestor of the Hou family was a powerful person who returned to the void realm during his lifetime. Even if his power was cut off by 99% after his death, he was still not something that could be endured by a little ghost like the three ghosts of Fish Scale.

Putting the body in Tianya Palace by himself is like putting a man and a tiger together in a room.

Even if the tiger is tied with an iron chain, it cannot hurt people.

But that feeling of life and death threat still stimulates people's nerves.
