"Zhu Wujiang?"
Sikong Che looked somewhat dazedly at the woman before him.
He had once seen Zhu Jiuyou’s human form; the expression between the brows of the two was as if carved from the same mold, and with that vague sense of bloodline connection in the dark, he could almost be completely certain...
This was the "daughter" of him and Zhu Jiuyou!
Seeing Sikong Che’s astonished expression, Zhu Wujiang sneered and said, "You seem very surprised. You didn’t expect that I would still be alive, did you?"
Back then, in order to continue the bloodline, Zhu Jiuyou had not hesitated to use her Origin Essence Blood to nurture a descendant, which caused her own strength to weaken drastically, thus giving the Human Race an opportunity to exploit.
But even so, the Human Race Great Powers still could not truly kill her; they could only use Great Divine Power to grind away Zhu Jiuyou’s Cause and Effect and exile Her into the "Eternal Prison."
Because of the Heavenly Dao Will’s rejection, Zhu Jiuyou would endure heavenly punishment day and night until she was completely annihilated.
Yet Sikong Che had never imagined that even under such conditions, She still managed to bring her offspring to term!
"You’re that Demon Lord?"
Only at this moment did Sikong Che finally come to a sudden realization.
Zhu Wujiang had always been low‑key, never appearing in public, her name scarcely known to anyone.
He had originally thought that the lord of the Demon Clan was some Ancient Great Demon who had awakened her bloodline Divine Skills; he had never expected it to actually be his own descendant?!
"But didn’t you die at Yu Youhan’s hands? Why would you appear here?" Sikong Che could not understand. These two were clearly mortal enemies who would not rest until the other was dead—how had they suddenly teamed up to deal with him?
"Yu Youhan and I had no real conflict to begin with. We might even become sisters in the future." With her hands clasped behind her back, Zhu Wujiang said blandly, "And the purpose of my coming here this time is to personally end your life."
Sikong Che’s throat moved; forcing a smile, he said, "No matter what, I am still your father..."
"So you threw my mother, who was carrying me at the time, into the sunless Eternal Hell, to suffer torment for a thousand years?"
"Originally, Mother only had to secretly accumulate strength; when heaven and earth changed, she would have a chance to escape. But in order for me to live, she nearly exhausted all her Essence Blood, which was equivalent to personally snuffing out her own hope of survival."
Zhu Wujiang’s eyes grew cold as she said in a low voice, "Tell me, do you deserve to die or not?"
Feeling that intense killing intent, Sikong Che involuntarily retreated, shaking his head as he said, "I was forced; the conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Clan was already irreconcilable at the time. I was stuck in the middle; it was very hard for me as well. If I hadn’t opened the World Gate, we’d never have been able to gain a foothold in Jiu Zhou afterward... Besides, if it weren’t for My help, the Dragon Clan bloodline would have long since been severed. It was I who planted the Cause and Effect so that you could be born into this world..."
Listening to that shameless rhetoric, Zhu Wujiang did not feel much anger in her heart; she merely found it ridiculous. "So by that logic, I should be thanking you?"
Sikong Che’s thoughts raced; in a sincere tone, he said, "I know I’ve wronged you both; I only hope you can give me a chance to atone!"
"I掌握着 the method of the bloodline offspring; I can help you continue the Dragon Clan bloodline!"
"As long as you help me slay Yu Youhan and Chen Mo, I will grant you the entire Northern Territory along with the three eastern provinces, to promote the shared prosperity of the Human Race and the Demon Clan and forge a brand‑new Golden age!"
