According to ancient records, back then, Prime Master Goldfeather led the experts of the entire cultivation world to force the Fire Unicorn to dig out its Monster Core and self-destruct its beast body. How could such a powerful person be such a young guy?!
The Fire Unicorn gradually retracted the flames on its body. Under everyone’s terrified gazes, it returned to its human form.
The red-haired young man shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. “I’m sorry for using such an abrupt method to let everyone find out my true identity, but I’m indeed a Fire Unicorn.”
At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng said in confusion, “I’ve checked your information. You’re clearly a human. Your parents are also ordinary citizens. You…” As Sheng Lingfeng stared at Xiao Shu’s handsome face and unruly red hair, for a moment, he couldn’t accept this shocking revelation.
“How can you be the Lord of All Demons?!”
!!No one was willing to believe that Xiao Shu was the Lord of All Demons.
At this moment, Yu Huang said, “Brother Xiao and I can testify that Xiao Shu is indeed the Lord of All Demons, the Fire Unicorn.”
Sheng Lingfeng and the others looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao.
“Xiao’er, you knew long ago?” If they hadn’t known Xiao Shu’s identity already, they wouldn’t have been so calm.
Sheng Xiao nodded. “Yes.”
Without waiting for Sheng Lingfeng to ask in detail, Sheng Xiao took the initiative to tell him everything. “I’ve known Xiao Shu for ten years. Xiao Shu is indeed a human, but he is also the Lord of All Demons.” Sheng Xiao added, “He only regained his memory after entering the Holy Spirit Academy.”
Sheng Lingfeng wasn’t someone who believed others’ words so easily. He asked Sheng Xiao, “How can you be sure that he wasn’t acting at the beginning? Perhaps he knew who he was all along and was fooling you?”
Sheng Lingfeng seemed to be trying to sow discord.
Xiao Shu looked at Sheng Xiao curiously.
Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shu. He frowned slightly but said, “I believe him.”
“Heh…” Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and said, “You said that you believe him, but so what?” Sheng Lingfeng suddenly glanced at Xiao Shu and said meaningfully,” If you trust someone too much, you might fall into an abyss of eternal damnation. Xiao Shu, don’t you think so? ”
Xiao Shu looked up and met Sheng Lingfeng’s gaze.
He saw fear and mockery in the Prime Master’s eyes.
Xiao Shu suddenly understood. “You know,” he said inexplicably.
Sheng Xiao and Ji Linyuan looked at Sheng Lingfeng in confusion.
Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Lingfeng, “Father, what do you know?”
Sheng Lingfeng remained silent.
Xiao Shu sneered and said, “He knows the truth of the demon beast race’s defeat ten thousand years ago.”
Sheng Xiao frowned and asked Sheng Lingfeng, “Father, how did you know?”
He knew what Sheng Xiao meant.
Sheng Lingfeng sighed and said, “What do you think the President of the Alliance is? As the President, I know some secrets that the outside world don’t know.”
Upon hearing Sheng Lingfeng’s words, Ji Linyuan, Dongfang Xiagui, and the others realized that there were many things that the elders and members didn’t know. Dietrich was a straightforward person and didn’t like to play such guessing games. She asked Sheng Lingfeng, “President, what do you know?”
Now that the Lord of All Demons had returned to the human world, some things couldn’t be hidden anymore.
“This matter is quite embarrassing.” Sheng Lingfeng was too ashamed to look at Xiao Shu’s reaction. He faced Ji Linyuan and the other elders and said in a low voice, “Everyone knows that in the War of Freedom ten thousand years ago, the Beast Tamers led by Prime Master Goldfeather successfully defeated the demon beast race led by the Lord of All Demons.”
“That’s right!” Dietrich said subconsciously, “The War of Freedom is the first thing everyone learns in history class. I think everyone knows about the War of Freedom, right?”
Be it the humans, the beastmen, the elves, or the merfolk, they had all learned about the War of Freedom.
After all, before the War of Freedom, the Holy Spirit Continent belonged to the demon beast race. After the War of Freedom, the Holy Spirit Continent belonged to the high-level intelligent race.
The War of Freedom was also known as the War of Honor and the War of Liberation.
“Heh…” Xiao Shu snorted mockingly.
Seeing Xiao Shu sneer while Prime Master Lingfeng remained silent, Dongfang Xiagui, Carasso, and the others had a bad feeling. “President, could there be other insider information about the War of Freedom?”
Nodding his head, Sheng Lingfeng said in shame, “History is written by the victor. In the War of Freedom, Prime Master Goldfeather and our ancestors were indeed the victors. However, the way she won was really despicable.”
Prime Master Goldfeather was respectfully called a Grand Master by the Beast Tamers of the Holy Spirit Continent.
The Beast Tamers respected her very much.
For Sheng Lingfeng to use the word “despicable” to describe Prime Master Goldfeather’s actions, it could be seen that Prime Master Goldfeather had indeed done something very infuriating back then.
When Ji Linyuan saw that Xiao Shu’s face was filled with disgust, he could vaguely guess what happened.
As expected, he heard Sheng Lingfeng say, “The real historical records I see are different from the beautified historical records you guys see. As far as I know, Prime Master Goldfeather and the Fire Unicorn were a couple, but this relationship was a lie from the beginning.”
“In order to gain the trust of the Lord of All Demons, Prime Master Goldfeather deliberately approached him. After obtaining the Fire Unicorn’s trust, she poisoned him while he was caught off guard and took the opportunity to lead the Beast Tamers to attack the entire Demon Beast Clan.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Xiagui subconsciously retorted, “How is that possible? Isn’t this the story written by that historian called Grand Master Xiaoyao after he retired?”
Grand Master Xiaoyao was a famous historian. He was the one who recorded the details of the War of Freedom.
After Grand Master Xiaoyao retired, for some reason, he wrote another personal sequel. In the sequel, he made up a large amount of history. The content Sheng Lingfeng said came from Grand Master Xiaoyao’s personal sequel.
Sheng Lingfeng said, “After every president of the Alliance takes office, they will receive a history book. This history book is also called Grand Master Xiaoyao’s autobiography.” Sheng Lingfeng lamented with a complicated expression, “History has always been written by the victor. We are the victors, so we naturally can’t slander Prime Master Goldfeather.”
Hearing this, Dietrich and the others were stunned.
When they thought about how they actually worshiped such a despicable and shameless woman, they felt a little disgusted.
However, this wasn’t the most disgusting thing. The truly disgusting thing had yet to come.
Sheng Lingfeng said, “I’m afraid you don’t know that the reason Prime Master Goldfeather wanted to exterminate the demon beast race back then wasn’t to protect intelligent races like us.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at each other in surprise.
They had always thought that Prime Master Goldfeather attacked the demon beast race so that the four races could lead a stable life. From Sheng Lingfeng’s words, Prime Master Goldfeather clearly had another motive.
