“My guests are not to be trifled with. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for taking your life,” Elder Yun’s tone was calm, yet it frightened the little boy’s parents, who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
“It will hurt for one night, and then naturally get better tomorrow. Without a lesson, they won’t learn!” Elder Yun said.
Xia Dabao felt some sympathy for the little boy, but this place was someone else’s territory. As a foreigner, she couldn’t meddle too much. Besides, who told him to plot against his dad? If it weren’t for his dad’s high martial arts skills, he might have been the one in torment now.
…
Past the marketplace, there were fewer people, but the houses became bigger and bigger—these must be where the important figures lived.
After walking a bit further, there was no path ahead. Elder Yun whistled, and a wooden bridge slowly lowered from the opposite side. Although the fog was dense in the mountains, Xia Dabao could still make out a large and somewhat ethereal mansion ahead.
The mansion, also made of wood, looked extremely luxurious from the outside with various banners and charms hanging, though she couldn’t recognize the words on them.
There were guards outside. Elder Yun went in first, then said to the guards: “I need to see the Clan Chief. Tell him I’ve brought a special person to see him.”
The guard immediately went to inform the Clan Chief and quickly came back out: “Elder Yun, the Clan Chief invites you inside.”
The group proceeded further in.
Ye Ge and Nan Feng walked especially carefully. The place felt bizarre, and guards were everywhere, making it difficult to leave unscathed.
The room was vast and empty, with some cushions around and a sheer curtain at the front, behind which a figure was vaguely visible.
“Meeting with the Clan Chief,” Elder Yun greeted, bowing, and Bei Shan and Yun Xiao behind him followed suit.
The Clan Chief said nothing and didn’t e out, so his appearance was unknown. He merely spoke from behind the curtain: “Are these the special individuals you spoke of?”
“Clan Chief, I have tested them, and it is absolutely certain,” Elder Yun replied.
“Good. Allow me to test them once more!” As he spoke, the Clan Chief flicked two fingers, and two streaks of light shot towards Xia Dabao and Nan Feng.
Ye Ge was about to intervene but was stopped by Elder Yun on the side: “If you want to save your son, don’t act rashly. Our Clan Chief will not harm them.”
The two Gu had no effect on Xia Dabao and Nan Feng, yet the person inside the tent suddenly froze, and then sat up abruptly.
He couldn’t believe it.
After searching for so many years, could it be that the real ones had finally e?
The two Gu insects just now were Biyue Gu, and he released two more praying mantis Gu. But even when these reached Nan Feng and Xia Dabao, they were unharmed.
The person inside the tent was so excited that his fingers began to tremble. Eventually, he decided to test with four other types of Gu, but without exception, they all had no effect on them.
Seeing several insects crawling over her, Xia Dabao felt disgusted and impatiently shouted inwardly: “Hey, how long are you going to test this for? If I crush these bugs, are you going to kill someone?”
“Hahaha…” After a hearty laugh full of vigor, the curtain was slowly lifted, revealing a masked person sitting in a chair and laughing heartily at the ceiling: “I’ve finally waited for this, an encounter so rare in a thousand years, and when it es, there are two… No!”
The Clan Chief of the Chi Xia Tribe suddenly looked at Xia Dabao and Nan Feng, “What I want is a girl under eighteen years old, bearing extraordinary signs, and possessing the Dragon Seed bloodline. You can leave your daughters here and the rest of you may go.”
“Dragon Clan?”
