Chapter 1052 - 1038: Demon Hunting Clan

Magic Artifacts like the Demon Identification Stone, after shattering, have never been repairable by anyone, except for the legendary Witch Beastmen.

But the Fusang Continent has long been without Witch Beastmen; unexpectedly, he encountered one.

Su Muyao was somewhat shocked, her eyelashes trembling as she asked, "So was it Yue Wuhen who helped you repair the Demon Identification Stone?"

It turns out witch power has such a function.

"Then where did he go?"

Su Muyao was most concerned about this point.

Duan Sangheng said, "When Young Master Yue was helping me repair another Magic Artifact, he seemed to suddenly sense something."

"He said he needed to find his two Zaizai, and left after explaining some matters."

"As for where exactly he went, I do not know."

Su Muyao felt a stirring in her heart. Previously, Yue Wuhen had said the two Zaizai were in a very safe place, and she need not worry.

Has he now sensed a specific direction to find them?

Su Muyao was aware of Yue Wuhen’s abilities and was not particularly worried.

But surely Yue Wuhen missed the Zaizai as well.

Wished to find them.

However, there were also important matters to be addressed now.

Su Muyao quickly steadied her mind and asked, "Did he mention anything else?"

Duan Sangheng explained, "Young Master Yue also helped to break the seal on the Demon Hunting Knife, allowing it to be used to hunt Demon Beasts."

As he spoke, Duan Sangheng took a scimitar out from his Space Ring.

As soon as this knife came out, it emitted a dazzling brilliance; a silver light flashed, and one could see that this knife was exceptionally sharp.

Its momentum was like a rainbow, able to cut through the air with just a gentle move.

Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "Good knife."

It was also engraved with many ancient patterns, like talismans, which seemed to enhance the knife’s power.

Duan Sangheng looked at the knife with a sorrowful expression.

This was something left by his clan.

He spoke earnestly, "This knife has been passed down in my Duan Sang Family for a long time, but due to the seal, it was no different from an ordinary knife before, completely unusable."

"I also didn’t know the exact origin or usage of this knife."

"It was Young Master Yue who helped break the seal and also allowed me to receive some inherited memories."

"It turns out I have the blood of the Duan Sang Family, which is also Demon Hunting Blood."

"When such blood drips on the knife, it can kill Demon Beasts, no matter what means the Demon Beasts have."

Listening to all this, Su Muyao’s heart surged with waves of astonishment.

Is there still a Demon Hunting Clan?

Why had she never heard of it?

Looking at Duan Sangheng’s righteous demeanor, Su Muyao asked the system, "System, is his blood that magical?"

"Is there really Demon Hunting Blood of the Demon Hunting Clan?"

This was the first time Su Muyao had heard of it; she had read various Ancient Books, including those of the Blood Clan and even the Fierce Beast Clan, but in such ancient texts, there was no mention of anything about a Demon Hunting Clan or Demon Hunting Blood.

She had come to the Fusang Continent and stayed in this city because it was safe and well-managed by the City Lord.

Who would have thought that this City Lord had such capabilities.

The system was also a bit bewildered; though it could sense many things even upon upgrading, it had never heard of this.

It released the System Power to explore, "Oh, Host, his blood indeed has very mysterious energy, which can truly restrain Demon Beasts."

"It’s beyond the range of my system’s information, very mysterious."

"Host, he also possesses an awe-inspiring righteousness."

"He should have powerful strength, but he seems not to have fully awakened the Inheritance Power, making it hard to see anything."

"Or perhaps there is some power that has shrouded his aura, preventing others from discovering his anomaly."

"In any case, Host, after investigation, I’ve found there’s nothing wrong with this person."

"However, I searched through many pieces of information within the system and couldn’t find anything on Demon Hunting Clan beastmen."

"But normally, considering how cruel and frenzied Demon Beasts act, logically speaking, there ought to be some power suppressing them, and it seems like this Demon Hunting Clan is it."

"The host can inquire with him about some news of his clansmen."

The system spoke with an excited tone while mentioning these things.

Thinking this person could restrain Demon Beasts, Su Muyao also felt very excited.

As long as the Demon Beasts could be slain, it would suffice.

Di Fu Yuan looked at Duan Sangheng and then at the knife, his expression growing more profound and serious, "This knife contains a very rich energy aura, in line with your aura."

Duan Sangheng seemed to hear something in his words; he knew the young man before him was like a deity with very powerful presence.

"Young Master, can you... can you ascertain if there is something wrong with this knife?"

Di Fu Yuan studied Duan Sangheng with a profound and complex gaze, uncertain whether to reveal to him or not.

Di Fu Yuan said, "What I tell you might be hard for you to accept."

Duan Sangheng bowed respectfully, "Please tell me, Young Master."

"This is something passed down through my clan, and I wish to know."

"Perhaps it is related to demon hunting."

"Demon Beasts are rampant, wantonly slaughtering Beastmen; I wish to know more so I can better kill them."

When Duan Sangheng said this, his eyes were filled with a determined and resolute expression.

There was a righteousness that complemented the Sword Qi from the sword.

Di Fu Yuan said softly, "If my guess is correct, the reason this knife contains such energy and is so formidable, and even can be activated by your blood, indicates your clansmen have sacrificed for this sword, creating it."

After Di Fu Yuan said these words, Duan Sangheng’s face suddenly changed, turning pale.

His fingers trembled, almost unable to hold the knife steadily.

"My clansmen... sacrificed..."

Duan Sangheng’s eyes trembled, turning red, with a mist of tears.

A sharp pain suffused his chest for a moment.

Su Muyao and Teng Lixuan’s expressions also drastically changed.

Upon looking at this knife again, Su Muyao’s eyes slightly reddened, suddenly feeling a solemn respect.

She regarded Duan Sangheng with an eye of reverence and admiration.

It is because people in the Beast World are still alive today, thanks to those who sacrificed themselves to hunt Demon Beasts and protect this continent.

Even though this place isn’t perfect, with many issues still present.

At least everyone is still alive, surviving.

Su Muyao felt a sour ache in her chest, overwhelmed by a desire to cry.

She exerted immense self-control to suppress the urge to cry.

After a long while, Duan Sangheng, in a choked voice, said, "No wonder when Young Master Yue unleashed the seal on this knife, his eyes were so sorrowful, and after obtaining some inherited memory, some faint images appeared in my mind, of many people jumping into the Refining Blade Pool."

"They were resolute and selfless; those were my clansmen."

"Earlier, those shadowy images were unclear, incomprehensible; now they make sense."

As he spoke these words, his voice trembled intensely.

But this also made a stronger power surge around him, with a more resolute faith.

He intended to wield this knife, bearing the will of his clan, to kill Demon Beasts.

Su Muyao tried to calm her emotions and asked, "City Lord Duan Sang, where is your clan?"

"Rest assured, we will protect you; just seeking some information."

To see if there’s anything that can be done to help.

"And where do your ancestors come from?"

She wished to know if the Demon Hunting Clan had left behind any ancient text or information, with more methods to deal with Demon Beasts.
