"Did they go missing like my grandfather?"
The Vermillion Bird shook his head with a heavy expression, "Your mother is not from the Nan Clan. The blood that flows in her veins is human. She was unable to withstand the circumstances and died on the spot."
"Then what about my father?"
"Your father is from the Nan Clan. He was sacrificed."
The Vermillion Bird knew that this result was extremely cruel to Jiujiu, but he could not keep it from her because he did not want to lie to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu never thought that she would get such an answer.
The deaths of Xia Qiu and Xia Dong's parents were not accidental. Her mother had died while her father had been sacrificed.
Jiujiu stared at the Vermillion Bird, "My father was sacrificed?"
"That's right. However, the person used your father as a sacrifice, not in the traditional sense of the word. It was a summoning array."
The Vermillion Bird frowned, "Even for me, this is the first time I've ever seen that array. As for what was used to summon your father, I know nothing about it."
"They were summoning a vicious beast."
A small, childish voice suddenly rang out in the room. Jiujiu turned her head to see a four or five-year-old boy striding out from behind her. As he walked, he spoke, "The vicious beast's aura still lingers on the array. It's obvious that they wanted to use Xia Lan as a sacrifice to summon the vicious beast. However, although Xia Lan has the blood of the Nan Clan, his blood is not as pure as Xia He's. Furthermore, he has not awakened the divine power of the Nan Clan, so they failed."
"Vicious beast?" The Vermillion Bird looked at the boy with displeasure, "Black Tortoise, why didn't you tell us that they wanted to summon a vicious beast?"
The Black Tortoise finally walked over to the Vermillion Bird and climbed onto the stool on all fours. He then turned to the Vermillion Bird and said, "Although we are friends, I don't feel that I need to report everything to you. Furthermore, they did not summon the vicious beast. I don't feel the need to tell you."
"What if they are summoned?" The Vermillion Bird's expression was a little irritable, "Black Tortoise, you and I have both seen those beasts. You should know that if they summon that thing, it will cause a lot of trouble. They were able to use Xia Lan as a sacrifice before, so they can use Xia Qiudong as a sacrifice. If you had told us earlier, we would have brought Xia Qiudong and her grandmother here to protect them secretly."
Black Tortoise glanced sideways at Jiujiu. "Her bloodline is even thinner than Xia Lan's. She can summon a beast that even Xia Lan couldn't summon? Vermilion Bird, I think you've lost your mind out of concern. "
Black Tortoise quickly realized that his words were inappropriate. He quickly turned his head to look at Jiujiu and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
"I know what you want to say." Jiujiu looked at the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise and said, "The bloodline has been diluted through generation after generation. Although my grandfather's bloodline has shown signs of atavism, my bloodline has been diluted by my grandmother and mother. It has become very thin.
However, I should be grateful for this. If my bloodline wasn't so thin, I would have been used as a sacrifice. This is something that should make me happy. "
Black Tortoise thought that Jiujiu would be unhappy, but after hearing Jiujiu's words, he turned to look at Bai Hong and said, "I like this little girl."
"I don't like you at all. You haven't told me why my grandfather went missing."
"Your grandfather went missing because of the awakening of his bloodline."
"The Nan Tribe originated from ancient times like us. No one knows the origin of the Nan Tribe, but they have unimaginable divine power and the ability to control formations.
The Nan Tribe can be used as a sacrifice because their ability to control formations is beyond our imagination.
Vermilion Bird just told you that your grandfather is the closest to the Nan Tribe's ancestor. However, the Nan Tribe's ancestor's divine power is almost equal to the four of us. In other words, your grandfather's power is almost the same as ours.
However, there is a drawback. "
Black Tortoise looked at Jiujiu and said softly, "The Nan Tribe's ancestor's ability is extraordinary, but his body is almost equivalent to the body of a Mythological Beast. Therefore, he can easily control the divine power. Your grandfather is a complete human shell. When he awakened the Nan Tribe's divine power, he almost exploded because he couldn't bear the divine power. Although with the help of the four of us, his body is still too weak compared to the divine power.
Even if his understanding of formations has long surpassed mine, there is no way to completely suppress the divine power in his body. I have always felt that the word 'missing' is not appropriate. It should be more accurate to say that he lost control. "
"Lost control?" Jiujiu thought she was only here to be a sacrifice, but for the first time, she found that there were a lot of things she needed to do.
"Yes, lost control. If he can't control the power, he will be controlled by it and lose control of his body."
"What will happen if he continues to lose control?"
"He will become very terrifying. After so many years, your grandfather is the first one we have seen who can awaken the divine power of the Nan Tribe. He is also the first one we have seen who lost control. What will happen to him and what will happen to him, we don't know.
However, we have been looking for him for so many years and have not been able to find him. He must be deliberately avoiding us. "
"I still don't quite understand. According to what you said, this divine power should belong to the ancestor of the Nan Tribe. As a descendant of the Nan Tribe and able to awaken the divine power, my grandfather should be able to control it. If he can't control it, his body will not allow him to awaken it. Since he can awaken it, it means he has the ability to control it. Can you tell me, under what circumstances did my grandfather awaken the divine power of the Nan Tribe?"
Black Tortoise didn't expect Jiujiu to be able to infer these things from his words. After a moment of silence, he said with an unfathomable expression, "Some things are too profound for you to know. It is better if you don't know."
"Am I not supposed to know or do you think you can't let me know?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between Jiujiu and Black Tortoise was beginning to turn hostile, Qing Lan grabbed Jiujiu's arm and signaled Jiujiu to let it go.
Qing Lan pulled Jiujiu behind him and said to Black Tortoise, "We have been on the road for a whole day. Jiujiu must be tired. Let me take her to rest."
Black Tortoise's lips curled into a smile. His face was as tender as a child's, but there was an unfathomable expression on his face. "You are quite protective of the fairer sex."
Qing Lan turned a deaf ear to Black Tortoise's words. He just pulled Jiujiu's arm and walked ahead.
