Chapter 852

"Could it be that this Bu Clan Divine Race is a hidden clan like the Tong Clan of the Great Tang?"

Jian Chen had a sudden thought.

Wu Ming nodded upon hearing this: "That is indeed very possible."

If the Bu Clan truly lived in seclusion in a mysterious place like the Tong Clan of the Great Tang, it would indeed be difficult for people in the Jianghu to know.

But he still had some understanding of Bu Jingyun's background.

From the limited information, Bu Jingyun didn't look like he came from a hidden clan at all.

Thinking this, Wu Ming could not help but look curiously toward Bu Jingyun's private room.

……

At this very moment, private room eight in the South District.

Bu Jingyun also had a bewildered expression.

The Bu Clan he belonged to was actually one of the nine great clans, just like Nie Feng's.

Nie Feng's clan possessed the bloodline of the divine beast Fire Qilin.

While his clan was one of the bloodline branches of the Demon God Chi You, producing a 'God' every hundred years.

For example, Shenxing Taibao, who made the list this time, was the 'God' of the Bu Clan from a hundred years ago, his great-grandfather.

But the problem was that Bu Jingyun knew very well that he was born in a small village.

His father was just a blacksmith, and his mother was just a village girl.

The uncles in the village didn't look like reclusive experts at all.

As for detailed information about the village, he didn't know much.

Because when he was very young, his father passed away, and his mother remarried into the Huo family, so he left the Bu Clan Village.

"Could it be that the Bu Clan really has secrets I don't know about?"

Bu Jingyun muttered, falling into self-doubt.

Because he knew very well that Su Chen possessed vast supernatural powers; since he said so, it could not be false.

If there was a deviation, it could only be his own problem.

"Senior Brother Yun, didn't your mother tell you about these Bu Clan secrets?"

Nie Feng asked curiously.

He also had some understanding of Bu Jingyun's background.

Bu Jingyun shook his head.

Nie Feng said again: "Perhaps this is a secret of the Bu Clan; after all, your mother was an outsider and didn't know."

Bu Jingyun's eyes lit up; this was indeed very possible.

His father's death back then was an accident.

Perhaps it was a secret of the Bu Clan that his father hadn't had time to tell them.

And then his mother took him away from the Bu Clan Village, so naturally, she knew even less about the Bu Clan's secrets.

"That's not right either!"

"If the Bu Clan is truly a Divine Race, and I am the 'God' of this generation."

"How could those clansmen in the Bu Clan Village ignore me for so many years?"

Bu Jingyun said with sharp eyes.

Nie Feng thought that was true too.

If Bu Jingyun were just an ordinary clansman, that would be one thing, but he was the 'God' born once every hundred years.

How could the Bu Clan Divine Race let his mother remarry so easily?

Thinking this, both of them could not help but look toward the white jade platform, waiting for Su Chen's further explanation.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen did not deliberately keep them in suspense; without waiting for the discussion to end, he said directly:

"I presume everyone is very curious: since the Bu Clan Divine Race all have astonishing talent, why is their reputation not known to the world?"

"Some might think the Bu Clan Divine Race is a hidden clan like the Tong Clan of the Great Tang."

"But in reality, that is not the case."

"This Bu Clan Divine Race is just an ordinary small village that can be seen everywhere."

"Even the people of the Bu Clan in the village rarely know the secrets of the Bu Clan Divine Race."

"Over the past few hundred years, the Bu Clan Divine Race has produced many martial artists, but they have all found it difficult to reach the absolute peak realm."

"The reason lies in the fact that the Bu Clan Divine Race bears a curse—the curse of the 'Forty-Year Limit'."

"Anyone of the Bu Clan finds it extremely difficult to live past forty; they often die suddenly as they approach the age of forty."

"Because of this, the martial artists of the Bu Clan naturally find it difficult to reach the absolute peak realm."

"Even if someone becomes an expert for a time, they will quickly disappear due to the curse of the Forty-Year Limit, like a flash in the pan."

"This is the reason why the Bu Clan Divine Race's reputation is not known."

"But since it is 'extremely difficult', it proves that there are still people who can break this curse and live past forty."

"For example, Shenxing Taibao, who made the list this time."
