"Why do you have to bring me along?" Yi Wenjun asked Guhan suspiciously as he sat in Guhan's room.
"Because I feel like I need to bring you along!" Guhan replied without even lifting his head.
"Because of my identity?"
Yi Wenjun clenched his fists. If it wasn't for his identity, his life would definitely be very easy. He wouldn't have to suffer so much.
"That's right, it's because of your identity. Because you are the descendant of Zhe Tian Jiandi!"
Guhan enunciated each word clearly. He never imagined that Yi Wenjun would actually be the descendant of Zhe Tian Jiandi Yi Qing.
"What? You're saying he's Yi Qing's descendant?!"
Yi Tian, who had been lying on the bed drinking in boredom, suddenly stood up. Meanwhile, Qingpin, who had returned to the Infant Pouch in Guhan's arms, rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion. "Guhan, who is Yi Qing?
Qingpin's new sister? "It seemed like Qingpin had also taken Yi Qing as a sword lady.
"From the looks of it, his appearance really is somewhat similar to that bastard. They both have the same cunning face!" Yi Tian stared at Yi Wenjun's face for a while, and said with a grunt.
"Zhe Tian Jiandi Yi Qing's 17th generation descendant, Yi Wenjun, greets Lady Yi Tian!"
When Yi Wenjun heard Yi Tian's words, he immediately stood up and bowed to Yi Tian.
Yi Tian was his ancestor's Zhe Tian Jiandi's sword lady. She was also a comrade who had fought alongside his ancestor, so it was only natural for Yi Wenjun to bow to Yi Tian.
"There's no need for that. I will never be able to accept your Yi family's etiquette." Yi Tian harrumphed coldly and lay back down, no longer paying attention to Zhe Tian Jiandi's descendant.
"How could this be?"
Yi Wenjun scratched his head in confusion. He could not understand why Yi Tian, who was once Yi Qing's sword mistress, would treat him with such an attitude, as if he was her enemy.
Yi Wenjun looked at Guhan in confusion. Guhan waved his hand. "Don't look at me, I don't know either. You'll have to ask your ancestor himself. Let's see if Zhe Tian Jiandi left behind any words."
"My ancestor was a heroic man. He came naked and left naked. Apart from our Yi family's bloodline, he didn't leave anything for me …" Yi Wenjun said gloomily. When other Jiandi passed away, they would more or less leave behind some resources for their descendants so that their bloodline could continue.
However, their ancestor, Zhe Tian Jiandi, was extremely stingy. He built a huge Yuzhang base city but left nothing for his descendants. As a result, even though Zhe Tian Jiandi was one of the strongest Jiandi's in history, his descendants still ended up like this.
"It looks like Yi Wenjun isn't the type to lie. Could it be that Yi Qing really didn't leave anything for his descendants?"
Guhan thought to himself. He had many reasons for bringing Yi Wenjun along. One of them was that he wanted to befriend Yi Wenjun and learn more about Zhe Tian Jiandi from him.
Guhan had always believed that Zhe Tian Jiandi would leave something for his descendants. Perhaps these things could reveal some secrets.
"His Majesty Zhe Tian didn't leave nothing behind. At least for now, our target is one of His Majesty Zhe Tian's ruins. This is also one of the reasons why I asked Sword Immortal Cloudsky to bring you along. After all, you are Zhe Tian Jiandi's descendant. No matter what, you should have a share of Zhe Tian Jiandi's ruins." That's right. This was the most important reason why Guhan took the initiative to bring Yi Wenjun along.
Since the ruins of Changyang Mountain were left behind by Zhe Tian Jiandi, how could Zhe Tian Jiandi's bloodline be excluded from the group?
Moreover, Guhan had the emerald ring on his finger. Guhan immediately reported to Liu Lei, hoping to bring Yi Wenjun into the group.
Liu Lei didn't hesitate. The Yi Clan shouldn't be excluded. Even if the Yi Clan had fallen, it couldn't hide the fact that their bloodline came from Zhe Tian Jiandi.
"My ancestor's ruins?
Where is it?
Why don't I know about it? "Yi Wenjun asked subconsciously after hearing Guhan's news.
Guhan didn't keep Yi Wenjun in suspense. He told him everything about the Changyang Mountain ruins.
"Something like that actually happened? I didn't know about it at all!" Yi Wenjun's expression was agitated and ugly.
As a direct descendant of his bloodline, he didn't know anything about the ruins left behind by his ancestor. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like he had been slapped in the face.
After that, Gu Han and Yi Wenjun had a long conversation. This descendant of the Yi family was not someone who could keep secrets to himself. Moreover, he was currently filled with bitterness. After being seduced by Gu Han a few times, he told Gu Han everything he knew about the Yi family's situation.
Zhe Tian Jiandi didn't have any children when he was young. It wasn't until he became Jiandi that he turned the Heavenly Court upside down and built China's second base city, Yuzhang Base City, that he settled down and married an ordinary woman who admired him. It took him ten years to give birth to a son.
When this son reached the age of 16, the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor ascended to become an immortal.
Zhe Tian Jiandi spent his entire life worrying about Yuzhang Base City. All his wealth and resources were used to build the city. When he passed away, apart from a house and a few belongings, he didn't leave anything valuable to his son.
However, because of his benevolence in establishing the Yuzhang Base, the support of his old subordinates, and the fact that Yi Qing's son and grandson had become immortal sword bearers and were in charge of the Sword Committee and Council of Yuzhang City, the Yi Family had been very famous in the first hundred years of Yuzhang City. They were known as the number one family in Yuzhang City — the Heaven Shrouding Family.
However, by the fifth generation, the Yi Clan began to decline.
It wasn't that people coveted the Yi Clan's position and wanted to take over the position of chairman of the sword committee.
It was just that the fifth generation of the Yi Clan was no longer suitable.
This fifth generation descendant was a pureblood, which meant he couldn't become a sword bearer.
Yuzhang City's sword committee could not be led by an ordinary person. The sword committee could only be controlled by a sword bearer.
This fifth-generation successor also understood this, so after his father resigned, he did not have any illusions about the position of the chairman of the Sword Committee. Instead, he began to lead a befuddled and dreamy life of luxury. He enjoyed delicacies from land to sea, pleasure to the fullest.
In the end, before he was forty, he died in a woman's belly. A large portion of the Yi Clan's hundred years of accumulated wealth was squandered by him.
If he hadn't accidentally impregnated a prostitute in the last year of his life, the Yi Clan would have no more descendants.
What followed was the Yi family's day of suffering. Although the sixth generation was not a pureblood human, he had tried his entire life. He had tried all the ancient sword maidens in Yuzhang City and Yanjing City, but he could not find a sword maiden who could synchronize with him.
In the end, the sixth generation came up with an ultimate plan, that was to have children … He tried his best to have children. The more children he had, the higher the chances of the seventh generation becoming a sword bearer.
Needless to say, the first half of the plan went well. The sixth generation Yi family head had a total of 13 children, seven boys and six girls. Even the gender balance was balanced.
In the end, none of the seven boys and six girls produced a sword bearer. The sixth generation Yi Clan Head was so angry that he died. None of the thirteen children were kind and fought for the position of Yi Clan Head. The entire core region was in a foul atmosphere due to their fighting. The Yi Clan's already weakened reputation was completely destroyed by this fight.
In the end, Yuzhang City's Sword Commission could not stand it anymore. They forcefully separated the thirteen children and froze all the Yi Clan's assets. They announced that whoever became a sword bearer would have the right to inherit the Yi Clan's wealth.
This was a fair and just solution, so the 13 descendants began to give birth to more children. Finally, when the seventh generation reached 123 children, the youngest son of the youngest son of the sixth generation became an Ancient Sword Wielder, ending the battle for the position of Head of the Family.
The Sword Commission did not covet the Yi Clan's assets and returned all the frozen assets to the seventh generation Yi Clan Head.
The Clan Head was chosen but the side effects came. All the 123 family members were trash who wanted to live the life of a nouveau riche. The seventh generation Yi Clan Head was cowardly and only wanted to prevent the family from going back to the days of constant fighting for assets. Hence, he tried to satisfy the needs of these trash. In the end, the entire seventh and eighth generation were trash who weighed more than two hundred kilograms. The entire Yi Clan's resources and wealth were completely consumed by these trash.
In the eighth generation, just as the Eighth Master was thinking about how to drive out the growing number of family members, God came to his aid. It was the first time Yuzhang City was completely breached without an Emperor Sword bearer. The entire core area was a sea of blood and only the Eighth Master of the Yi family managed to escape. The rest of the family members were left behind in the core area and became Yuan Huis' food. Thus, the Yi family's population was reduced but the Yi family's strength was reduced to the same level as an ordinary sword bearer.
There was nothing much to say after that. The next generation of Yi Clan Heads would at most become sword bearers like Yi Wenjun. They would not have the ability to revive the Yi Clan.
The Yuzhang Sword Commission only allowed these powerful Jiandi descendants to live and pass down their bloodline. Hence, the Yi Clan lived a miserable life for hundreds of years until Yi Wenjun's generation.
Yi Wenjun's father was an ancient sword bearer but did nothing. He did not want to go out to fight and only wanted to hide at home and drink.
The burden of the family fell on Yi Wenjun's shoulders.
