Chapter 2066 Zhu Yan
The mirage disappeared, the foggy scene returned to the front, and there was no need to argue anymore.
The feeling that the fairy palace was right in front of them, ethereal and free, and that they could achieve freedom with just one step left a deep impression on everyone, which could not be erased for a long time. No wonder many aliens were so attracted to mirages.
Everyone even secretly hoped to encounter another mirage, but unfortunately it did not happen.
After traveling through the fog for more than a month, a hazy scene appeared ahead. Everyone was overjoyed and rushed out of the fog in one go. They were surprised to find that the scene within their field of vision was still pale.
But the white thing is not fog, but snow.
The wind was biting cold, and heavy snow fell. The sky and the sea were vast and the sea had turned into a snowy plain. Judging from the weather, it should be daytime now, but under the cover of snow clouds, the sky was unusually dark.
"It is said that the Hanhuang Kingdom was not here in ancient times, and they moved to this bitter cold land..."
Jihong stretched out his little hand and caught a snowflake. The white fluffy snowflake could serve as his quilt.
Among all the people, he had the most extensive knowledge of the various tribes of the Inhumans. "Due to the climate, this sea area is almost like eternal night, and the territory of the Cold Wasteland Kingdom is covered with snow all year round. But in a place that others regard as a desolate place, the Cold Wasteland Kingdom and their Yu Clan are like fish in water..."
They randomly selected a direction and flew over the vast ocean for a long time. Finally, they saw a piece of land and came into contact with a royal clan of the Hanhuang Kingdom. After receiving guidance, they finally arrived at the territory of the Hanhuang Kingdom.
It is more like an ice sheet than a land. There may be soil and rocks under the thick ice, but they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
There are only three seasons in Hanhuang Country: foggy year, snowy year and windy year. When the heavy snow stops, the cold wind becomes more and more howling day by day. In the eyes of the people of Hanhuang, the snowy year is the best season.
Qin Sang and his companions soon met the real people of Hanhuang. Unexpectedly, the stature and facial features of the people of Hanhuang were no different from those of humans. The biggest difference was that they had blue hair and blue eyes, and skin so white that it was almost transparent, and their bodies seemed to be made of ice water.
They have an extraordinary ability to adapt to the cold. Even if it is snowing heavily and the north wind is howling outside, it is enough for mortals to wear thin clothes woven from ice silk.
They lived in igloos, used sleds for transportation, planted crops that could grow on ice and snow, built cities with ice, revered ice and snow, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The magical powers of the practitioners in Hanhuang Country are also related to ice and snow.
Qin Sang almost immediately thought of Liuli. If she came to Hanhuang Country, she would be able to adapt easily. Maybe she could learn something from the magical powers of the people of Hanhuang.
Walking in the Ice City, Su Nu looked at the people coming and going from Hanhuang and suggested, "How about we try to turn our hair and eyes blue and disguise ourselves as people from Hanhuang?"
Si Lu thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe we can give it a try, but the magical powers of the Hanhuang Nation are not easy to disguise. However, unless we are fighting with others, a few flaws should not be a problem."
It is always easier to disguise yourself as a person from Hanhuang than as a human.
Qin Sang turned around and said, "When we get to the capital of Hanhuang Nation, Su Nu, you and Gu Ya will stay and find a place to settle down. I, Si Lu and Ji Hong will go to the Zhu Yan Clan to explore the way first."
Gu Ya said 'ah' and asked anxiously: "Can't we go with our seniors?"
Her heart had already flown back to the Storm Realm. She thought she would be able to return to her master soon, but she was asked to stay here. How could she be willing?
"So many alien races are too conspicuous, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the Zhuyan tribe, which is not conducive to future operations. If we encounter any accidents, it will be easy for my two Taoist friends and I to escape. When we find the Storm Realm, I will try to take you there..."
Qin Sang explained.
The Jiao Yao clan has a special status in the Tianbu. Having a few Hong traveling with them can save a lot of trouble. Qin Sang decided to transfer directly to the Zhu Yan clan via the Hanhuang Kingdom's teleportation array.
However, with Su Nu, three masters of the Refining Void level entered the territory, how could the Zhuyan clan sit idly by and watch. After all, the strong men of the Saint Clan all entered the Holy Land, and the strongest people in each tribe were only at the second level of the Void Realm.
"Don't worry! Let me think of a good idea. We can all become citizens of Hanhuang. Then maybe we won't need Brother Qin to pick us up," Su Nu comforted.
After everyone agreed on this matter, they rushed to the capital of Hanhuang Kingdom. After Su Nu and others were settled, and Ji Hong had found out about the various rules of Hanhuang Kingdom, they said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the palace where the teleportation array was located.
On the surface, there was a cultivator at the first level of the Void Realm in charge here. He was a little surprised to see Qin Sang and the other two.
Jihong sat on Silu's shoulders, and Qin Sang and Silu both covered their faces with cloaks.
"I don't know when you came to my department. Why is there no record in the palace?"
Ji Hong was in charge of the negotiations. He looked innocent and could lie without blinking an eye. "We strayed into the fog and accidentally entered your land. We want to use the teleportation array to leave. My clan and your tribe have signed an agreement before, so I hope you can help us."
The guard hesitated for a moment. He knew the covenant that Ji Hong mentioned. One of the clauses was that whenever the Jiao Yao clan found good seeds in a certain place, they had to promote them here first and share the seeds with the owner of the place.
The Jiao Jiao clan has unique magical powers and a superior status, so other tribes are unwilling to offend them and welcome the arrival of the Jiao Jiao clan very much because of this covenant.
There is no shortage of experts with this ability in Hanhuang Country, but they are inferior to the Jiao Yao clan.
"I wonder if you can find one or two good breeds?" asked the guard.
"We are eager to return, and our stay here is short, so we haven't found it yet. If your department needs it, I can come back and help you find it later," Ji Hong said, patting his chest.
The Hanhuang Kingdom is a superior tribe of the Tianbu clan, with deep roots. They have no urgent need for good breeds, but it is not a bad thing to make friends with a master of the Jiaoyao clan.
The person on guard took a look outside and was inclined to let them go. The inspection of people going out was not as strict as that of people coming in, and there was no abnormality at all in the country.
He was just hesitating whether to ask the elders in charge of the place for instructions, when he suddenly heard a voice: "Let them go."
The guard's eyes flashed, he waved his hand to open the palace door and said please.
Qin Sang and Si Lu noticed the slight fluctuation and looked through the cloak into the depths of the palace.
Si Lu sent a message: "Maybe someone noticed something."
"Maybe they have some doubts, but they are certainly not sure of your identity, and it seems they don't want to delve into it. As we expected, unless the Hanhuang Kingdom has some plans against Si You, they will only be able to force you to stay and use you as a hidden chess piece. Otherwise, you will just be a hot potato," Qin Sang said.
Si Lu nodded slightly.
Because of the Holy Land, the tribes maintained their fighting but did not break up, and there was almost no genocide among the aliens. The Hanhuang Nation was even more accustomed to the land of ice and snow. They were unwilling to go out, and others were unwilling to come in.
Interfering in the internal affairs of another clan, especially another superior clan, is likely to cause unexpected disturbances.
There was a flash of light before their eyes, and after experiencing the familiar feeling of the world spinning around, they were standing on another teleportation array.
The three men opened their eyes and saw that they were standing on a high altar with several vermilion stone pillars standing around it, but there was no dome on top. There were strange peaks all around, and several people were standing opposite the high altar.
Then suddenly a strange laugh was heard, "Haha! Little thing, you actually dare to come back!"
One of them pointed at the pools of water on Silu's shoulders and laughed out loud. The laughter echoed in the mountains and was extremely harsh.
This man has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, but he doesn't have the slightest bit of a wretched temperament. Instead, he has a rather heroic air.
His hair was messy like weeds, he was unkempt, and he wore a scarlet battle robe. The skin of his exposed hands was also red, and he held a long red-gold stick in his hands.
He laughed so happily that he would have fallen backwards if not for the long stick.
The people around him also had a smiling look on their faces.
"It's you!"
Jihong suddenly became in a bad mood and his cheeks puffed up.
The last time he came to the Zhuyan tribe, this person was guarding the place. He didn't expect to run into him as soon as he arrived this time.
"Hahaha……"
The man finally stopped laughing and looked at Jihong with a teasing look, "Little thing, are you here to call for help this time? No matter how many helpers you bring, Grandpa will take them all! As long as you can win a game, Grandpa will make a contract with you. Except for the forbidden area of our clan, no matter where you go, I will never ask you a question!"
Qin Sang and Si Lu heard Ji Hong talk about what happened last time.
The Zhuyan clan is warlike by nature. Once they get angry, they don't care about anyone, not even the Lord. The ancient covenant is just bullshit.
This Zhuyan tribe member saw the Jiaojiao tribe for the first time. He was so excited that he insisted on pestering Jihong to have a battle with him. If Jihong could win, he would allow him to look for good breeds in the Zhuyan tribe.
The Jiao Jiao clan traveled everywhere, relying on various magical powers to escape. Fighting was their weakness, and they were no match for the Zhu Yan clan in a head-on confrontation.
After a battle, Ji Hong was covered in dust and was forced to use his magical powers to escape from the battlefield.
He wanted to find the elder of the Zhuyan tribe to argue, but the other party avoided him. During that time, other masters of the Zhuyan tribe came to him one after another and challenged him with the same conditions.
Jihong had nowhere to hide, and he had almost used up all his magical powers to escape. If the fight continued, he would probably be beaten with a few sticks. He had no choice but to escape from the Zhuyan tribe, and he is still very angry when he talks about it today.
"Wild monkey! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant. I'm going to seek justice today!" Ji Hong put his hands on his hips and shouted with great momentum.
Zhu Yan was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Sang and Si Lu, but he couldn't see anything special about them. He grinned grimly, swung his stick, and was about to say something harsh.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly flew across the sky, and suddenly turned in the air, and a shout that sounded a little old but full of energy was heard.
"Why don't you step back, you bastard? How can you be so rude to our distinguished guests?"
The escaping light faded, revealing a white-haired old man with wrinkles all over his face, but with an upright figure and bright and intimidating eyes. Standing here, he was as tall and majestic as a mountain, towering over the earth!
Qin Sang and Si Lu were secretly awed.
The old man looked at Ji Hong and bowed slightly: "It was our fault that we failed to discipline him last time, I hope you won't blame me."
Then he turned his gaze to Qin Sang and Si Lu. After a quick look, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, "Will you two fight with me?"
Ji Hong's face fell and he sighed, "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked!"
The Zhuyan clan expert who had just been driven away also muttered indignantly when he heard this.
Si Lu took a step forward and bowed, saying, "My name is Qu Lin. I don't know your Dharma name yet."
The old man seemed to have just remembered that the other party was a guest, "Excuse me! Excuse me! I am Yuan Miao, nice to meet you, Daoist Qu."
Si Lu nodded and said in a gentle tone, "Daoyou Jihong is my best friend. I came here to protect Daoyou Jihong in collecting fine seeds. I have no intention of conflicting with your tribe. Daoyou should also be aware of the magical powers of the Jiaojiao clan. Allowing them to search for fine seeds in your tribe is a win-win situation. I hope Daoyou Yuan can be flexible."
"I am naturally aware of the abilities of fellow Daoists from the Jiao Yao clan, but my clan has no relationship with you before, and you are so many masters gathered here, how can I know that you don't have other plans?"
Yuan Miao shook his head.
Qin Sang and Si Lu both frowned when they heard him forcefully come up with such an excuse.
Then Yuan Miao's eyes lit up, "However, as the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Fellow Daoist, fight with me. If you can defeat me, it means you have no conspiracy. From now on, you can come and go as you please here!"
What is the logic?
Qin Sang and Si Lu were stunned, realizing that this old monkey was clearly just looking for a reason to fight them.
But looking at Yuan Miao's expression, I would be in trouble if I didn't agree.
"I've heard that the Zhuyan clan is warlike, and it's true! But the Zhuyan clan is also easy to deal with. If you can defeat them, they will be convinced by you and will not easily break their promise," Si Lu sent a voice message and sighed, "It seems that today will not end peacefully. I wonder what Brother Qin thinks?"
Qin Sang thought to himself, looking at Yuan Miao's aura, although he was also in the early stage of the second level of the Void Realm, his aura was strong and could not be compared with Si Lu, who had just entered this realm. Moreover, the Zhuyan clan was aggressive by nature, and they often argued with sticks. When they encountered conflicts, they would solve them with a big battle. Every member of the clan was very experienced in fighting.
Si Lu is no match for Yuan Miao and has to fight on her own.
However, if he did it himself, there would be the risk of exposing his identity.
Should we just go back and look for another way?
"Daoyou has the magical power to manifest wings, so he can disguise himself as a member of the Yu Clan. Although there is demonic aura mixed in, as long as I insist that Daoyou is a guard recruited by me, I have a chance to fool you. Besides, my Tianbu Upper Clan also has connections with the East China Sea Clan, so it is normal to make friends with demon cultivators. In addition, I have something to say, I wonder if Daoyou Qin would like to hear it?" Si Lu said.
They had communicated before this trip, and Si Lu knew some of Qin Sang's magical powers.
"You can talk as you please, fellow Daoist," Qin Sang replied immediately.
"The place you want to find is near the territory of the Zhuyan tribe. What do you plan to do after you find it? Can you really hide forever?
“Compared to other tribes, the Zhuyan tribe’s temperament is actually easier to get along with.
“As long as you can convince them with your strength and ask them for a place to stay, they may agree.
"This battle will have to be fought sooner or later! Of course..."
Si Lu suddenly smiled, "Once they decide that Fellow Daoist Qin is a good opponent, maybe they will come to challenge him frequently."
Qin Sang nodded secretly. During this journey, what he thought about most was how to get along with the nearby aliens.
There is some truth in Si Lu's words. Meeting the Zhu Yan clan might be the best outcome.
However, to put on a full show, it would be best to just use your strength this time.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang stepped out into the air, his momentum rising steadily, "Fellow Daoist Qu Lin's injuries have not yet healed, and I am responsible for protecting him. This time, I will learn from Fellow Daoist Yuan's magical powers!"
