Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 406: Grudge
What she was thinking, she blurted out—

"Nuwa created humans?"

"Nuwa created humans?"

King Yinglong repeated it suspiciously, then nodded and said, "That's not wrong!"

The dragon, who had lived for a very long time, exhaled a breath from his nostrils before beginning to speak: "I don't know where Nuwa went afterward, but when she used her blood and flesh to create humans, I heard my elders say that..."

"At that time, the Five-Colored Array had been set up, and the Guixu Pass was blocked. However, the tribes suffered heavy casualties in order to help Nuwa set up the array. Helpless, Nuwa used her own flesh and blood to create souls and used five-colored soil to create mud, thus creating the human race."

"The earliest humans, grateful for Nuwa's kindness, spontaneously worshipped her and constantly entered the Five-Colored Array to fight against the extraterrestrial demons that roamed the various small worlds."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xianyu suddenly realized—she knew about this!
As early as last week, she had seen some fragmented recording stones in the Taiyi Qiankun Sect, which recorded images of human cultivators fighting and dying in various small worlds within the Five-Colored Array against extraterrestrial demons. Fang Xianyu even fabricated some of those scenes based on his memory in the new expansion of "Ten Continents Chronicles", intending to warm up for the opening of the "Five-Colored Array Dungeon". Unexpectedly, this Yinglong King actually knew those old stories!

King Yinglong continued recounting the ancient tale, but his tone grew increasingly disdainful: "At first, those human cultivators were quite capable, but with Nuwa's disappearance, they suddenly became laughable!"
"Insidious and treacherous, they used the Five-Colored Array to harm their comrades, and now they've even set their sights on our Long clan!"

Fang Xianyu frowned.

She wasn't surprised by this outcome; humans are extremely complex beings, both noble and base. What intrigued her more was why things had evolved into this situation—seemingly because humans dared not venture into the dragons' territory, but in reality, most of the Ten Continents and Three Islands were occupied by human forces.

So she pressed on, "And then what happened?"

"Later? Later, the Dragon Clan and the Human Race went to war. No, it can't be called a war," Yinglongwang said, glancing at Fang Xianyu. The emotion in her eyes was unreadable. She said, "It was a massacre."

"The human race is too weak. When they supported the Five-Colored Array, they suffered the most casualties. As a result, we mostly assigned them to be in charge of logistics later on... But once, in order to eliminate dissidents, they dragged the Youlong clan into it and killed more than a dozen Youlong clan warriors!"
"So we took the lead in slaughtering the two human groups that were attacking each other... As for the other humans, they were driven out and left Kunlun Hill."

"After that, we no longer had any contact with the human race."

Fang Xianyu's expression changed slightly: "So, there is actually animosity between humans and dragons?"

“You could say that,” Yinglong King looked at Fang Xianyu with a half-smile and asked, “What, do you want to lead the human race to take revenge?”

Pingjun, who had been standing next to Yinglongwang, glared at Yinglongwang reproachfully and subtly tugged at his sleeve.

Fang Xianyu pretended not to see these little actions, and instead shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Right and wrong are no longer important. Under the threat of Guixu Sea, even sworn enemies must temporarily stop fighting, let alone those old grudges you mentioned!"

King Yinglong chuckled: "You are indeed unlike other human cultivators."

“Not entirely. I do hold grudges, but our Taiyin Sect has no enmity with your Dragon Clan,” Fang Xianyu said with a smile, deliberately adding, “Our Taiyin Sect disciples are all from the Blue Star Realm. Logically speaking, we have no connection with the Guixu Realm, and naturally, we have never had any interaction with your Dragon Clan.” Yinglong King assumed that the “Blue Star Realm” Fang Xianyu mentioned was some kind of small world, and said, “But if something happens at the Guixu Pass, how can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned?”

Fang Xianyu calmly replied, "King Yinglong has misunderstood. The Blue Star Realm is neither in the Guixu Sea nor in this world. It is a place that even the Douxuan Treasure Mirror cannot know. To be honest, the various matters, life and death of the Guixu Realm have nothing to do with the Blue Star Realm."

Yinglong King fell silent, but Zhenhai Dragon King, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Then why does Sect Master Fang want to guard the Five-Colored Array?"

“If I were to say that I’m doing this for the sake of all living beings and the common people, I doubt you would believe me,” Fang Xianyu smiled, then his eyes suddenly turned fierce. “I’ve said before that I’m a very vengeful person. I have grudges against many human cultivators and sects in the Guixu Realm. However, my Taiyin Sect’s current capabilities are insufficient to avenge them. As for the idea of ​​guarding the Five-Colored Array… to be honest, it’s just a plan for me to train my troops.”

The Dragon King of Zhenhai and the Dragon King of Ying exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised by this statement.

"Troop training?"

Fang Xianyu nodded: "That's right. The disciples of the Taiyin Sect have no souls and walk in the Guixu Realm in puppet form, so they are not afraid of death. What they lack is only experience in battle, the ability to control spells, and a little cultivation. Let them train in the Five-Colored Array and help clear out those extraterrestrial demons. We can all get what we need, so why not?"

King Yinglong couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the fact that none of the extraterrestrial demons in the Five-Colored Formation have ever been as clear-headed and articulate as you, Sect Master, I would probably have thought you were some kind of demon lord in disguise!"

After speaking, she suddenly laughed: "But you're right, it's a win-win situation, why not? Don't you agree, Chief Xiling?"

The Xiling clan chief had been lost in thought for a long time, and only when Yinglong King mentioned him did he snap back to reality.

She glanced at Fang Xianyu, who had a questioning expression, then at Yinglongwang, who had a smile on his face but it didn't reach his eyes, and Zhenhailongwang, who looked worried. Although she hadn't heard what they had just said, she could roughly guess what it was about—it was just about entering the Five-Colored Formation!
Thinking this, the Xiling clan chief said, "Hmm, hmm... Our Quanxian clan has no problem. Actually, we discussed this matter with Sect Master Fang a while ago. If we enter the Five-Colored Array from the entrance on Kunlun Hill, it would be more convenient, since it's on land. But entering from our Quanxian Royal City is also possible, but your Taiyin Sect disciples will have to figure out how to survive underwater first..."

King Yinglong did not point out the Xiling clan chief's distraction, and even echoed her, "Hehehe, what the Xiling clan chief said is correct. I wonder what Sect Master Fang's plans are?"

Fang Xianyu replied, "I plan to open more entrances; one or two entrances... probably won't be enough!"

King Yinglong and the others asked in surprise, "Not enough?"

Fang Xianyu spread his hands: "As you can see, my Taiyin Sect already has tens of thousands of disciples, and there will only be more in the future. If there are only one or two entrances, how can that be enough? The queues will probably take several days!"

This time, even the usually understanding Pingjun was somewhat puzzled. She opened her mouth with difficulty and said, "Sect Leader Fang, if I may be so bold, but your disciples... their cultivation levels are probably... rather low..."

To everyone's surprise, Fang Xianyu didn't care about that at all, and confidently said, "So what if their cultivation level is low? They're not afraid of death!"
