Chapter 2296: Chapter 2291: Outsiders

"Elder Jin Shuang, Murong is here to see you."

Murong took a deep breath and walked into the small room in front of her with a smile on her face.

The small room was simple, just like the other small rooms she had passed along the way.

An old woman was sitting inside the room, her body, except for her arms and head, had completely undergone Jin Hua.

Upon hearing Murong’s voice, she slowly opened her eyes: "Ah, Clan Leader Murong. What has brought you to chat with this old lady again today?"

"Elder Jin Shuang, this time, I am here to discuss some matters related to the clan, and would like to hear your opinion."

Murong looked at Elder Jin Shuang with great respect and said.

After all, Elder Jin Shuang was currently the strongest, most revered, and oldest elder of the Jin Family.

Murong quickly recounted the events that had taken place after she met Tang Ming today.

Elder Jin Shuang looked at Murong with great surprise, then said: "Clan Leader Murong. Would you like to hear this old lady’s honest thoughts?"

"Yes, I would like to know."

Murong nodded and then said.

"Actually, many years ago, I had thought about returning to the West Desolation, but at that time, it was to find a way to break the Jin Hua. Later, I discovered that the reason for the Jin Hua among the Jin Family seems to be related to the demonization of the land of the West Desolation. Both are rooted in the bloodline."

An odd smile appeared on Jin Shuang’s face.

Murong raised her eyebrows in response and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally. Haven’t you noticed the significant differences between the people of the Twin Clan and those of the Human Clan in Taoyuan World? Also, the unique Demon Slayer Clan Prophet of the West Desolation. The Niu Family’s bloodline. The multi-tailed Demon Fox in the Fox Spirit Mountain Range differs from the native Fox Demon Clan of Taoyuan World."

Though Jin Shuang’s voice was not loud, it resounded like a thunderclap in Murong’s ears.

Murong looked at Jin Shuang with astonishment, then said, "Did you figure something out?"

"No, these are just my conjectures. But if you think about it carefully, you’ll understand, we are actually outsiders who entered Taoyuan World from beyond, just like the demons of Demon Abyss, except we are standing on this side of Taoyuan World."

Jin Shuang sighed deeply, then said.

"But what does this imply? Aren’t we still people from Taoyuan World?"

After a brief silence, Murong also agreed with Jin Shuang’s words.

Jin Shuang smiled bitterly, then said, "But are we truly people from Taoyuan World? Isn’t everyone who knows that my Jin Family members will slowly turn into golden beings, terrified? Even those brides who marry into the Jin Family feel the same."

"Things will slowly change. Earlier you said, Jin Hua and demonization are not much different, I think Tang Ming can solve it, why not invite her over tomorrow."

Murong took a deep breath, seemingly after making numerous decisions, finally said.

"Yes, the old lady may have lived quite a long life, but not long enough yet."

Jin Shuang grinned and then closed her eyes.

Murong knew this was Jin Shuang’s usual way of seeing off guests. But as she left the Jin Family’s old residence, Jin Shuang’s words kept echoing in her mind.

We are all outsiders to Taoyuan World, different from its inhabitants.

"You’ve returned. How did it go, did the Jin Family agree?"

Yao Jian looked at Murong and then asked.

Murong nodded, although she seemed somewhat uneasy, sat on the chair, and said: "They agreed. Yao Jian, may I ask you something?"

"Sure, what’s up?"

Yao Jian also noticed that something seemed off with Murong and opened his mouth to ask.

Murong took a deep breath, then relayed what Jin Shuang had said.

Yao Jian’s pupils constricted, he wasn’t a fool, but before Jin Shuang brought it up, no one had ever mentioned such a thing.

Thinking of this point, Yao Jian was silent for a while before nodding and said: "I think Jin Shuang is right."

"So where do we belong? Is it Demon Abyss or another plane? Does it mean that there are other planes existing behind Demon Origin Mountain?"

Murong raised her head to look at Yao Jian and then said.

"I think there’s only one person who can explain this clearly."

Yao Jian looked at Murong and then said.

"Who?"

Murong didn’t anticipate Yao Jian would say this. After all, she had thought hard but hadn’t come to any conclusion on the matter.

"You forgot, the Demon Slayer Clan’s Prophet, upon falling, would pass on his memories to another Prophet. Those memories date back to the origin of the Demon Slayer Clan. Since the Demon Slayer Clan Prophet knows so much, she surely knows whether the Demon Slayer Clan belongs to Taoyuan World."

Yao Jian grinned and then said.

Yao Jian’s words made Murong’s eyes sparkle, and she said inwardly, "If he knows about the Demon Slayer Clan, we’ve been allied with them for many years and lived together in the Underground Maze, he surely must know where we, the Twin Clan, came from."

"That’s right, exactly like that."

Yao Jian and Murong were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent.

That evening, Murong sought out Mu Qiu, and seeing Mu Qiu in full military attire, Murong took a deep breath and then said: "You are going to West Continent City, first, to take a look at the Spirit Tree Plain and see if it truly contains a boundless field of Immortal Rice. Second, to visit the Demon Slayer Clan and the Niu Family, to understand the living environment of West Continent City, and see if it is indeed, as Tang Ming described, a place where several races live together peacefully."

"Sis, the Niu Family is our Twin Clan ally, visiting them isn’t a problem. But why visit the Demon Slayer Clan, as far as I know, we haven’t had contact with them for many years, have we?"

Mu Qiu was very surprised by Murong’s request.

Keep in mind, even when the Demon Slayer Clan was struggling, they often came to Source Stone City to purchase ore and then refined it into Immortal Artifacts for sale.

If the relationship between the Demon Slayer Clan and the Twin Clan was better, the Twin Clan could have helped them.

But at that time, the Twin Clan didn’t intervene. Now, visiting the Demon Slayer Clan indeed felt somewhat awkward.

Murong sighed, then said, "Lower our posture a bit, though there are misunderstandings between us, if we are truly returning to West Continent City, we still need to be friends. I think the people of the Demon Slayer Clan will show you some courtesy."

"Yes, that’s true, in fact, I have helped them before. Alright, I’ll handle this. Tomorrow morning, I will set off."

Mu Qiu nodded and then said.
