Chapter 809 Ch 809: Heaven Stealing Clan
"So scary!"
"Run! Run for your life!"
"Oh my god! She is even more powerful than the monk. She sent him flying with a single attack!"
"If you want to live then escape!"
The moment all the people saw the red-haired lady, they went into an uproar. They started running for their lives while crying for their mothers. They had been deeply frightened.
Even the young man who has been following Zhang Tao all this while ran away, completely ignoring Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao was stunned when he saw this. Didn't the young man tell him just a few moments ago that he'll continue to follow him?
Shaking his head, Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and then shifted his gaze to look at the red-haired lady, who was also staring at him.
After all the people ran away, only two people remained in this space. They were Zhang Tao and the red-haired lady.
The red-haired lady looked at Zhang Tao with her empty eyes, causing Zhang Tao's body to subconsciously tremble. She then said: "What is a descendent of Heaven Stealing Clan doing here?"
Zhang Tao forced a smile on his face, saying: "That... Isn't my ancestor promised the Sky Ghost Race? I'm here to help you guys!"
"Bang!"
The moment Zhang Tao said these words, he was struck by a strange force, causing him to be sent flying like a cannonball, colliding against the wall and falling to the ground.
Zhang Tao staggered a little before standing up. He looked at the red-haired lady and again said: "Why did you attack me? Shouldn't you be grateful that I came to help you guys?"
"Do you really think a little weak chicken like you can help my Sky Ghost Race?" The red-haired lady asked in a cold voice!
Zhang Tao smiled gloomily and said: "That is because I've come here by reincarnating. In reality, I'm already an Exalted Ruler. Anyway, it was my ancestor who sent me here to fulfill the promise made by my Heaven Stealing Clan in the ancient era."
"Oh, really?" Although the red-haired woman didn't have a face, Zhang Tao could still feel the cold aura around her body manifesting. He retreated a few steps to be safe. The red-haired lady said: "Has your ancestor only now remembered his promise? Where was he when my Sky Ghost Race was being destroyed? Why didn't he come to help us at that time?"
Saying this, the red-haired lady was ready to attack again. Zhang Tao hurriedly shouted 'STOP' loudly. Then he continued to say: "Calm down! Calm down! I'll give you an explanation!"
"Oh! Then give me the explanation. Tell me, come on!" The red-haired lady stopped and asked, waiting for Zhang Tao's response.
Zhang Tao took a deep breath and said: "You know that my Heaven Stealing Clan is just like Three-eyed Clan. Both of our clans are cursed by the Heavens. Three-eyed Clan was cursed that they can never give birth to a Ruler in their clan, and my Heaven Stealing Clan was cursed that we'll be sealed for ten million years every era."
"When your Sky Ghost Race was being massacred by the Ancient Samsara God, my Heaven Stealing Clan wanted to help you guys, however, the Heavenly Dao enveloped our entire clan at that time and sealed us at the depth of earth. We only emerged after ten million years have passed. And at that time, everything has already ended. Even the Ancient Era has ended. When we woke up, it was already the next era called Dark Era."
"After that, my Heaven Stealing Clan started investigating what happened with you guys. We wanted to come here sooner, however, the oldest ancestor of my Heaven Stealing Clan spied into the secret of Heavenly Dao, wanting to see the fate of Sky Ghost Race as well as my Heaven Stealing Clan."p
"At the price of sacrificing all of his cultivation, he saw through everything he wanted to see. At that time, he went into a deep slumber and told us to wake him up after ten eras."
"We woke him up in this era according to his request. But even so, he never told us anything. But this time, when the Land of Samsara was about to open, my ancestor suddenly told my father to send someone into this world. According to my ancestor, someone with the fate of defying the Heavens will be entering this world and will change the fate of the Sky Ghost Race. My father sent me here to assist that person."
Maybe, the red-haired lady already knew about the curse of the Heaven Stealing Clan. she didn't blame the Heaven Stealing Clan anymore after knowing the reason.
Just like Three-eyed Clan, Heaven Stealing Clan was also famous for something. Three-eyed Clan can see through the essence of everything under the Heavens and can create such illusions that even Gods were afraid of.
And Heaven Stealing Clan was famous for stealing from the Heavens itself. If a person of Heaven Stealing Clan is very very talented, that person could even steal the comprehension of laws and Profound Meanings from the Heavenly Dao, increasing his own comprehension. Moreover, the Heaven Stealing Clan is a group of tomb robbers. They like to dig up the graves and steal things that could profit them.
It is no wonder this clan was also cursed by the Heavens. However, this clan's curse was lighter than the curse of the Three-eyed Clan. If Three-eyed Clan was not cursed to never give birth to a Ruler, with their talents and abilities, they would have been the true ruler of Heavens from the very start, not the Primordial Race or the Ancient Race.
Well, there was another specialty of Heaven Stealing Clan. The members of Heaven Stealing Clan are a group of Eternals. It is said if they are not killed by other people or died for some reason, they can live for eternity. Not a single member of the Heaven Stealing Clan can die naturally.
Maybe, this is also the reason why there are very few members in the Heaven Stealing Clan. The people of Heaven Stealing Clan have a very low ability to reproduce. Maybe, in an entire era, they can give birth to only five or ten people.
The current Heaven Stealing Clan only have close to a hundred people, but their strengths are not to be underestimated.
Well, it is no wonder even after the old ancestor of Heaven Steaklking Clan sacrificed all his cultivation base to peek into the secrets of Heavenly Dao and steal the information about the fate of the Sky Ghost Race, he didn't die. The old ancestor is really too old.
"How old are you?" The red-haired lady asked Zhang Tao.
"Hehe, I'm just 1,000 years old. Aren't I a genius? I became an Exalted Ruler even though I'm just 1,000 years old." Zhang Tao started smiling complacently and puffed out his chest, showing a prideful expression on his face.
The red-haired lady ignored Zhang Tao's conceited attitude. She said: "Where is the person with the fate of defying the Heavens? Didn't you say he could help change the fate of my Sky Ghost Race? Where is he?"
"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Tao immediately started coughing when he heard her words. Then he took out a star-shaped token, showed it to the red-haired lady, and said: "That... This token was given to me by my Ancestor. I'm the youngest member of the Heaven Stealing Clan and the only person born in this era. My ancestor wanted to help me gain experiences, that's why he sent me here. He told me that the star token will start shining red when that person will enter the range of 1000 meters in radius."
"When I entered this Ancient ruin, I did find him. I even explored an underground tomb with him where many Sky Ghosts were sealed in coffins. Well, I soon lost him. Right now, I don't know where he is!"
Fatty Zhang had an embarrassed smile on his face as he said. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the red-haired lady, afraid that the red-haired lady might attack him once again in anger.
The red-haired lady was really angered. How could this fatty lose a person who is destined to defy the Heavens?
Most importantly, that person could change the fate of her Sky Ghost Race.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she again asked in a cold tone: "What is that person's name? Maybe, we can look for him using his name!"
"Ye Xiao!" Zhang Tao immediately replied.
"Ye Xiao..." The red-haired lady nodded her head after hearing the two words, however, she was stunned instantly. "Ye Xiao, isn't he...!"
She was shocked. Although Zhang Tao couldn't see her expression, he could feel the fluctuation in her mood. He suddenly thought of something and his expression changed as well.
"Don't tell me you know who Ye Xiao is? Moreover, don't tell me you know where he is right now!"
