Chapter 303 - The Fall Of Jing Clan-I
Lin Mu didn’t know what to think. While he was surprised by their identities more specifically Duan Ke’s he still had some questions.
"Go ahead, you can ask us what you want. You deserve that." Jing Wei said reading the expression On Lin Mu’s face.
Lin Mu took a few seconds before he got all his thoughts in order.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
"Who are the people you want to take revenge on and why exactly?" Lin Mu questioned.
~Sigh~
"There are far too many people that betrayed us. Some did it intentionally, while some were simply bystanders who decided to not interfere when they could. Though the ones that are the most guilty are none other than the cultivation sects.
I knew how the emperor could react to it, and thus I tried to stop it, but she ran away and eloped with the prince. Knowing that I could not do much, other than to suppress this news, I contacted a few of my friends. With their help, I was able to fabricate a story that my daughter died while cultivating due to heavenly tribulation.
The royal family of the Duan Kingdom tacitly approved of this, and Miao’er lived there with the prince by changing her identity. Eventually, time came and the prince ascended the throne, becoming the king Duan Chen. It was then that a clan rose in the Northern lands.
This clan was called the Gu clan and was a small clan. They were able to grow big in the span of a few years due to them finding the inheritance of a fallen expert. With the help of that, their people grew in strength.
But they were greedy and wanted more power. They were willing to do anything to achieve that and made a shady organization that did all the black deeds that the other organizations and sects needed to be done. They also sold information and intel, becoming the largest information broker on the continent.
It was this Gu clan that sparked the fall of my clan. They somehow discovered the fact that Miao’er was still alive and was actually the queen of the Duan Kingdom. The Emperor could not bear the news and entered a furious state.
He incited the sects and the powers that were under his control. While he was not able to convince them all to attack us, he was still able to make them take no action. The cultivation sects too wanted our secrets and the refinement skills that we had hidden away.
Then one day it happened, the emperor’s men and cultivators swept the lands of my clan and killed every member. The same massacre happened in the Duan Kingdom, except there only the royal family was wiped out. In a single night, nearly the entirety of my Jing clan and the Royal family of the Duan Kingdom was wiped out.
This all happened over fifty years ago. The Emperor wiped out all the traces of massacre and made it look as if the Jing clan never existed. The commoners were never involved in the matters of the cultivators anyway, thus they had no problem with it, while the cultivators themselves were involved in the slaughter so there was no question there either." Jing Wei paused and let out another sigh while rubbing his brows.
