Unlike the others in this clan, only the master and madam of this household knows about Di Cang’s secret – his true identity. Therefore, it’s not surprising they would act so subservient to this being that took their son’s body for use. After all, this clan existed to serve Black Turtle, not the other way around like the public thought.
So why would these two parents so readily sacrifice their own child for someone else to use? Wouldn’t they be outraged and fight for their son’s survival? That’s what any normal parent would do wouldn’t they? Well, this wasn’t a normal household, nor does the son have a strong relationship with his parents to begin with, he’s practically estranged to them since he got taken in by Black Turtle at such a young age. Furthermore, the master and madam had plenty of children, including plenty of grandchildren under their watch. What does it matter if one died somehow? They could easily replace him by making more. If not, they’ve secured plenty of grandchildren by this point. All in all, their bloodline was secured.
“Yes, it’s done.” Di Cang didn’t give any emotion in his voice, bordering on the line of indifference, “We will be leaving this place very soon.”
Taken aback by this news, the master and madam stared at the demon king in surprise.
“Also, we’re taking Black Turtle with us too.”
“This…” the guy immediately flew into a panic at this bombshell, “what will we do if you take the sacred beast away?”
The achievements they have today are all thanks to the leadership of Black Turtle. Without that ancient creature to watch over themselves, what would they do?
“Humph, don’t try to play dumb with me. With the strength of your clansmen today, it doesn’t matter whether Black Turtle stays or not. Furthermore, my wife has found an heir for you lot. She is my sister-in-law, my wife’s younger sister. As long as time’s given to her, she will grow to become the strongest here on Earth.” Di Cang states this like the decision’s made, ignoring the hesitant look coming from the two humans.
Yan Yan left a lot of her Dan pills for Bai Yi Yi, coupling that with her initial talent, she’s bound to become the strongest in this world where it’s lacking in spiritual energy.
“I’m not here to ask for your opinion, I’m just telling you about it, and don’t forget that your clan was no more than a weak household that needed protection. Everything you have today is thanks to Black Turtle.”
The current head of the Water Clan finally came back to his senses at that reminder. He couldn’t argue about that point. Most of what they have was thanks to Black Turtle’s support. Without that creature, they might’ve fallen from grace like so many other clans in the past, or be replaced by a different rising power along the way.
“Alright, we will accept your arrangement.”
“Hmm,” a cold flicker flashed in the demon king’s eye at the quick compliance, “but from what I’ve observed of you people, being submissive isn’t part of your nature. Black Turtle definitely played a part in helping the Water Clan climb this high, but the insidious and sneaky ploys from you lot also had a huge hand in it, don’t you agree?”
Showing an awkward face, the master of the house decides to be blunt: “Then what do you intend to do?”
“I will imprint upon your souls, this seal will last ten years. Once that time has expired, whether or not you follow my wife’s little sister is your choice. However, during that period you must protect her with your all. This is the demand I have of you people.”
