"The Emperor's Clan?" Ye Kaihuai repeated Arist's words strangely.

Aris nodded: "Yes, the royal family. However, this crime was just an excuse for the royal family members of the Orc Alliance back then. The real reason was because of a competition..."

Fifty years ago

At the edge of the Grand Canyon of Hundred Beasts, two young orcs were fighting with their weapons. With a "clang" sound, a big sword flew into the air and stuck to the ground. The victorious young orc used his sword to press the throat of the failed orc and said with a smile: "Joey, I'm sorry, I won the 999th competition."

The young orc called Joey moved away from the sword that was against his throat and said angrily: "Tiezhen, don't be proud, I will definitely defeat you next time."

"Haha... Then you're still dreaming faster." Tie Zhen laughed and picked up the sword stuck to the ground, handed it to Joey and said.

"Tsk, let's see." Joey took the sword and said unconvincedly.

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to the day you defeat me. Joey, it's getting late, let's go back." Tiezhen looked at the sky and suggested to Joey.

"Okay, we can compete again to see who will come to the teacher's house first, how about it?"

"Why, you're going to lose..." Tiezhen said as he started running, leaving Joey behind.

"Ah! Tiezhen, you are cheating!" Joey hurriedly chased after him. One by one, the two ran towards the teacher's house.

Three months later, it was still the Grand Canyon of the Hundred Beasts, the same place, the same people, and different endings. Joey laughed and reached out to pull Tiezhen, who was defeated by himself, from the ground, and said, "Tiezhen, I'm sorry, I won the first thousandth competition, haha... I'm really happy today."

"Bang". Tiezhen opened Joey's hand, stood up silently, picked up the big sword that fell aside, walked to the teacher's house without saying a word, ignoring Joey's shouting behind him.

Originally, Joey thought Tiezhen was just losing to him for the first time, so she couldn't think about it for a while and would have to wait. But when he returned to the teacher's house with the wild game that Tiezhen usually likes to eat, he found that Tiezhen had actually said goodbye to the teacher and went home.

***************************************************

After returning home, Tiezhen did not go anywhere else. After putting her luggage, she went directly to a newly opened divination shop in the city. When she entered the store, a woman dressed in a witch in the witch said to Tiezhen: "When you come, I knew you would definitely come back. How about it? Do you believe what I said?"

"Yes, things are indeed as you predicted. In my 1000th game with Joey, I lost to him."

"Hahaha... This is just the beginning. From now on, he will beat you again and again. No matter in that aspect, career, or woman, you will lose to him."

"Is there any way I can prevent me from losing to him?"

"It's hard, it's very difficult."

"Please be sure to help me, the remuneration is not a problem."

"Okay, for the sake of my destiny and you, I will do it for you to see what your future is like?"

"Please trouble you."

The witch was chanting a spell that she probably didn't understand. After a long time, the witch looked at the crystal ball and suddenly changed her face. She sweated coldly on her forehead. She said to Tie Zhen in a trembling voice: "You are born enemies with him, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence. One of you two must die. And in the crystal ball, I saw that your friend actually led his tribe members into the imperial city and cut off a person's head, and that person was..."

"Stop talking!" Tiezhen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly to stop the witch's chattering narrative. "I don't believe Joey will do such a thing, I don't believe it."

"Oh~" the witch sighed and said to Tiezhen: "Poor man, it doesn't matter if you don't want to believe it. Just let time prove whether what I said is really good."

Tie Zhen did not answer, turned around and walked out of the room. When he was about to leave the room, the witch's voice sounded behind him, "Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the safety of your own tribe." Tie Zhen paused, and did not look back, pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

When the door of the room was closed, someone walked out of the witch, nodded to the witch with satisfaction and said, "No, good, you completed your mission well, I am very satisfied."

"Thank you for your praise. It is a blessing for your subordinates to be able to serve you." The witch knelt on the ground at this time, with her forehead facing the ground.

"Well, this child Tiezhen will definitely come to you again, act according to the plan, and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, your Majesty."

******************************************

Five days later, Tiezhen returned to the teacher's house and found that Joey had left. He learned from the teacher that Joey's father was critically ill. Joey rushed back to see his father for the last time and officially inherited the position of the Mastiff clan leader.

He was once again attracted by the witch. Before he came back, Tiezhen couldn't help but find the witch to prophes for him again. The result was the same as the witch said. So in Tiezhen's heart, he believed more and more that five days ago, the witch's prophecy for himself and Joey's future was authentic.

When he came to the witch in a daze, Tiezhen planned to make the witch predict it once. If the prediction is accurate this time, Tiezhen decided to believe the witch's prophecy before. What Tiezhen wanted the witch to predict for him this time was that he and Joey were in the 1,000th battle. Who would win the two of them?

*********************************************

In the Grand Canyon of Hundred Beasts, Joey looked at Tiezhen who was worried and asked worriedly: "Tiezhen, are you okay? We have never met again since the martial arts competition that day. I am very worried about you."

"Ah, thank you for your concern, Joey. I'm fine. I'm asking you to come today. I want to compete with you once, okay?"

"Of course, I can't ask for a fight with you." Joey agreed readily.

"Since that's the case, let's start." Tiezhen reached out and touched the witch handed over to him, and told him to open the note he had read after the game. He said to Joey, who bowed and bowed like him, "Please give me some advice."

...

With a "clang" sound, the competition ended. Tiezhen, who was restless, lost to Joey again. Farewell to Joey who was worried about him, Tiezhen walked back step by step, taking out the note given to him by the witch, and saw that the word "lose" was written on the note.

Tiezhen was stunned for a moment. He stared at the note in his hand in disbelief. After a moment of silence, he suddenly tore the note in his hand like crazy. He knelt on the ground, covered his face with both hands and cried out loud.
