"What? You said that the owner of this statue is called Dugu Changyi? "
After hearing Xiao Cong's words, Xing Jue's eyes instantly widened. His face was filled with unconcealable shock. At this moment, even his body started to tremble violently. The excitement in his heart was self-evident.
Dugu Changyi was Xing Jue's father. This father, whom he had never met before, held an extremely important position in Xing Jue's heart. Right now, he was like a beacon that guided Xing Jue forward.
The reason why Xing Jue was so eager to become stronger was because he wanted to take revenge for his father and revive the Spirit Eater Clan.
However, the father that Xing Jue worshipped so much, Xing Jue had never seen him before. Now that Xiao Cong said that the statue in front of him was his father, how could Xing Jue not be excited?
"Yes, yes. He is called Dugu Changyi. I heard from the village chief that he is an extremely great person."
"Moreover, he is a great hero that saved the tens of thousands of villagers in our Half-Beast Village." Xiao Cong replied with certainty when he heard Xing Jue's question. Moreover, when he mentioned Dugu Changyi, his gaze was filled with a dense adoration.
"Father, I did not expect to see you here."
After hearing Xiao Cong's confirmation, Xing Jue hurriedly cast his complicated gaze towards the huge statue not far away. At this moment, his deep eyes seemed to have become slightly moist.
Looking at the statue in front of him, Xing Jue's expression did not change much. However, a huge wave was set off in his heart. Waves of excitement struck every part of his body.
The father that he had wanted to see even in his dreams had finally appeared in front of him. Although it was only a statue, in Xing Jue's eyes, he was very close.
After looking at the statue for a long time, Xing Jue slowly turned his head and said to Little Cong, "Little Cong, bring me to see your village chief."
At this moment, Xing Jue was very curious about the half-beast village. He really couldn't wait to know more about the half-beast village and his father. Perhaps in this place, he would be able to learn things that he had never known before.
"Yes." Upon seeing this, Little Cong hurriedly nodded and led Xing Jue along the mountain path into the valley.
At the bottom of the valley, the thatched huts were built in a circle around the statue. Among the buildings, there was a thatched hut that looked quite extravagant. This was the residence of the half-beast village chief.
After arriving, Xiao Cong went in alone to report while Xing Jue waited outside. While waiting, Xing Jue once again looked at the statue before him. After learning that this was his father's statue, Xing Jue developed a special feeling for the statue.
"Bang."
"You're awake."
However, not long after Little Cong entered, the tightly shut door was suddenly opened. Then, a half-beast man with a slightly bent body that looked like an old man hurriedly walked toward Xing Jue. Little Cong, who was standing beside him, followed closely behind. Obviously, this was the village chief that Little Cong had mentioned.
Upon seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly bowed deeply and said with gratitude, "Xing Jue, thank you senior for saving my life."
"Don't, don't, don't, this old man can't accept it."
"You, you're actually called Xing Jue?"
However, what surprised Xing Jue was that after Xing Jue bowed to him, the half-beast village chief seemed rather emotional, as if he didn't dare to accept Xing Jue's bow. However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that he seemed to be puzzled by Xing Jue's name.
"That's right, my name is Xing Jue." Upon seeing this, Xing Jue confirmed again.
"Eh, that's strange."
"Xing Jue, do you know him?"
"Can you tell this old man, who is he to you?"
After Xing Jue confirmed, the village chief seemed to be puzzled, but then he did something that shocked and even made Xing Jue panic. He actually pointed at the giant statue and asked Xing Jue about the relationship between Xing Jue and the statue.
"Elder, you …" After hearing the village chief's words, Xing Jue was completely shocked. A trace of panic that was difficult to detect hung on his face. He never expected that the village chief seemed to know of his special identity.
One must know that concealing his identity was the most important thing for Xing Jue right now. If his identity was exposed, he might immediately be chased by the Xuan Hall and the mysterious man. If that happened, all of Xing Jue's efforts would be in vain.
However, right now, his identity was exposed without him knowing. How could Xing Jue not be shocked and panicked?
"Young man, don't be afraid."
"He is the great benefactor of our entire half-beast village. If you are his descendant, we will definitely not make things difficult for you." As if seeing through Xing Jue's worries, the elder added with a smile.
At this moment, Xing Jue was hesitating. He didn't know if he should reveal the relationship between him and Dugu Changyi. If he did, he would be exposing his identity, which was an extremely dangerous thing to do.
However, it seemed like the villagers of the half-beast village were really grateful to his father, and they didn't have any malicious intent towards him. If not, he wouldn't be standing here unscathed.
Although he didn't know what his father had done for them, it was obvious that these people were willing to build a statue for his father. This meant that his father had done something amazing.
Most importantly, the villagers of the Half Beast Village didn't seem to be simple. If they really owed his father a big favor, then it would be impossible for them to do so.
If they really owed his father a great favor, then if they knew his identity, it was highly possible that they would repay the favor with him. Perhaps, it would bring about unimaginable changes to the Asura Palace in the future.
After a moment of silence, Xing Jue slowly raised his head and said with a faint smile on his face, "Actually, I am Dugu Changyi's son."
"This …" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Xiao Cong, who was standing behind the village chief, was extremely surprised. However, compared to Xiao Cong, the village chief was extremely calm, as if he had already guessed this result.
"Quick, please come in and have a seat." At this moment, the village chief said politely and excitedly. After that, Xing Jue followed him and Xiao Cong into the cottage.
"This is great. I have long guessed that you are the descendant of our benefactor. If not, you wouldn't be able to pass through this Black Flame Barrier unscathed."
"That's because when our benefactor set up this Black Flame Barrier, he said that unless it's someone with his bloodline, even a Battle-Emperor would be turned into ashes if they tried to barge into this Black Flame Barrier."
"So, when I discovered that you had passed through this barrier, I guessed that you are the descendant of our benefactor. However, there are injuries on your body that are not caused by the Black Flame Barrier. Could it be that you were attacked by someone else?"
"But with our benefactor's heaven-defying methods, who in this continent could threaten his descendant?"
"Just what happened? Can you tell me?"
After entering the cottage, the village chief of the Half-Beast Village slowly explained. What surprised Xing Jue the most was that he had actually guessed that Xing Jue was being hunted.
"I will not hide it from senior. Actually, my father is no longer here." Seeing this, Xing Jue did not hide it and said with a sorrowful expression.
"What? Our benefactor is no longer here? Just, just what is going on? "After hearing Xing Jue's words, the village chief of the Half-Beast Village became even more emotional.
After that, Xing Jue told everything he knew to the village chief of the Half-Beast Village in full detail. He did not hide anything at all. Since he had already spoken to this point, Xing Jue felt that there was no need to continue hiding it. Instead, it was better to say it clearly.
"I really did not expect that such a righteous person like our benefactor would be plotted against by others. That bastard called Dugu Haoyu really deserves to die."
"It's a pity. It's a pity that our Half-Beast Clan is cursed to not be able to leave the Dark Mountain Range. Otherwise, I would really want to help you take revenge for our benefactor." After hearing Xing Jue's story, the village chief of the Half-Beast Village was also very sorrowful.
"Curse?" After hearing his words, a huge question mark appeared in Xing Jue's head. It was the first time that Xing Jue had heard the word curse.
"Senior, what curse is it that makes you unable to leave the Dark Mountain Range?"
"Also, how did my father become your benefactor? I wonder if you can tell me?" With confusion and curiosity in his heart, Xing Jue asked with a serious expression.
"You are the descendant of our benefactor. Of course you can." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the village chief of the Half-Beast Village smiled faintly.
"Actually, we weren't like this before. Instead, we were real humans."
"At that time, the place we lived in was not called the Half-Beast Village. Our clansmen were not called Half-Beastmen."
"We were a huge clan. Our clan was called the Dragon Protector Clan."
"Our Dragon Protector Clan has been hidden in the continent for thousands of years. Speaking of which, we are not much weaker than the so-called ancient clans."
"However, due to the rules of our clan, we were not allowed to let the world know of our existence and could only live in seclusion within the continent. As a result, almost no one in the continent knew of our existence. However, it was also because of this that our clan lived in peace. However, everything was completely destroyed on that day thirty years ago."
"On that day, a mysterious middle-aged man suddenly appeared near the territory of our Dragon Protector Clan."
"After a few days of searching, he actually found the location of our Dragon Protector Clan. He broke through the barrier of our Dragon Protector Clan and entered our territory."
"After he entered my clan, he demanded that the Guardian Dragon Clan hand over the clan's treasure, the Dragon Pearl, that we've guarded for thousands of years. Moreover, he even threatened to annihilate the Guardian Dragon Clan if we don't hand over the Dragon Pearl."
