Chapter 790: Chapter 790: The Hatetian Clan, Enemies with Everything!

"Master, do you want me to pursue further?"

After eliminating the opponent, Earth Fire immediately asked Lu Chen.

"No need," Lu Chen glanced at the beast still pleading for mercy and said, "Come back to me first!"

He trusted Earth Fire, there was no need to chase into the Lower Heavenly Abyss. The priority was to get information from this demon beast!

"Yes, Master!"

Earth Fire quickly receded, flowing into Lu Chen’s body. The fire figure also shrank, finally leaving only a strand of flame clinging to the outside of Lu Chen’s body.

"Well done," Lu Chen’s Nascent Soul glanced at the beast in front of him, then flew back into his own body. As a mysterious sensation arose, Lu Chen once again gained control over his body, and Earth Fire completely retreated into his Dantian.

"You can understand my words, can’t you?"

Lu Chen floated in front of the beast and said indifferently.

"Roar—"

The beast responded.

"Good," a sneer crossed Lu Chen’s lips, "To live, you have only one chance."

"Roar—"

Lu Chen put away his smile and said, "I’ll ask, you answer. You don’t need to worry about whether I can understand."

In the roar of the beast, Lu Chen fully understood the meaning. The beast had truly submitted.

"Tell me, what are you doing in the Lower Heavenly Abyss!"

"We were here to find the entrance to the Spirit World and, incidentally, to look for the descendants of the Hatetian Clan!"

"Hatetian Clan, what is that?"

Lu Chen pretended not to know. Only in this way might he be able to coax more information out of it.

"Hatetian Clan is the sworn enemy of us ancient beasts. If not for them, we wouldn’t have been trapped in the Mortal Realm for so long!"

This was in line with Lu Chen’s conjectures. His expression unchanged, he continued to ask, "What’s the difference between the Hatetian Clan and other human clans?"

"Of course there’s a difference," the beast gnashed its teeth, "All human clans live in peace with us, not violating the other’s domain! Only the Hatetian Clan sought to doom us to death! But we ancient beasts do not just eat vegetarian meals; in the end, they couldn’t handle us and tricked all of our ancient beast clans into the Mortal Realm, finally trapping us in that confinement formation!"

Lu Chen’s pupils constricted, for the history of the Hatetian Clan was something he also did not understand.

Even Li Qingyao might not be clear about it.

The rules within the Hatetian Clan were very strict, with many doctrines passed from father to son, not to the daughters.

Perhaps the totem stone figure knew something.

Unfortunately, in order to craft his Nascent Soul, the statue’s whereabouts became unknown in the end.

It might have merged with his Nascent Soul, or for the sake of the Nascent Soul, it completely disintegrated.

Lu Chen had no way of knowing, which was why he thought to find out news from the mouth of an ancient beast.

"So what’s the difference?"

As Lu Chen asked, he also recalled what he had seen in Yuzhou City.

The ancient beasts did not slaughter ordinary mortals; instead, they inscribed words on the city walls, sparing those within the city from mindless massacre.

Their relentless killing of cultivators, Lu Chen surmised, was likely in search of himself.

"Amongst the human clans, there’s a saying, ’Not of our kind, with a different mind.’ These eight words are even more evident amongst the Hatetian Clan! You have no idea, the enemies of the Hatetian Clan aren’t just us ancient beasts but also humans! Just because they act in accordance with heaven’s will, going against the ancestral teachings of the Hatetian Clan, the Hatetian Clan attempts to destroy everything!"

"What are you saying?"

These words sent a shock through Lu Chen’s heart, which he found hard to accept!

He was the sole descendant of the Hatetian Clan.

But the totem stone figure had only told him that the Hatetian Clan hated heaven!

And after emerging from the Haotian Secret Realm, Lu Chen, who had been concerned with the human race, had acted on such intentions!

"Although you’re very powerful, you are completely ignorant of the affairs of the Spirit World! If you spare me, I can take you to the Spirit World to see for yourself, to find out. The Hatetian Clan is like a rat crossing the street in the Spirit World, everyone shouting to strike it down!"

The ancient beast lost its begging expression and stared at Lu Chen as it spoke.

"I don’t believe it!"

Lu Chen came to his senses and looked straight into the beast’s eyes.

"Hearing is deceptive, seeing is believing! Now my life is in your hands; whether to believe it or not is up to you!"

Having said that, the beast even raised its neck as if ready to face death.

"Hmph!"

Lu Chen did not hold back, remembering that the beast had previously tried to devour his Nascent Soul, and thus he thrust with his Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Roar—"

This time, the beast let out a meaning-filled roar, and eventually, Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear sucked it dry into a corpse, which fell into the Lower Heavenly Abyss!

Only then did Lu Chen’s thoughts fall into chaos.

He instinctively felt that the beast had not lied to him.

But if so, everything the Hatetian Clan did was contrary to his beliefs!
