Chapter 564 - 560: The Tribe
After returning to the room, Su Muyao first checked Wen Nanxi’s body to make sure he was fine before she felt at ease.
Wen Nanxi knew Su Muyao was anxious, so he told her in detail about some things Xie Yanran had said.
After listening, Su Muyao was both shocked and silent.
This Master Xie once again overturned her understanding.
"So, it’s the Possession Technique from long ago."
"Turns out all of this is also related to Xie Yanran."
She could never have imagined that Liu Mengyan’s disguised identity was flawless and undetectable because of Master Xie’s handiwork.
Indeed, with the Xie Family’s ability, helping someone forge an identity was a piece of cake.
At that time in the Su Mansion, her body was occupied by an Evil Thought Soul, and it turns out she used the long-lost Possession Technique.
Wen Nanxi’s heart ached at the thought of her being possessed back then.
"She knows quite a lot."
"The Demon Clan is indeed not to be underestimated."
The Demon Clan has many Secret Techniques as well, no wonder Xie Guixue wanted to return to the Demon Realm after awakening the Demonic Dark Bloodline.
Returning to the Demon Realm, he can become stronger.
"She’s truly ruthless, being with Zhuang Beiyuan just for his Illusion Technique, even wanting to use Xie Xiaoqi."
At this, Su Muyao suddenly thought of Xie Guixue she had seen in her dreams.
Ever since he awakened the Demonic Dark Bloodline, he had really changed like a different person.
So, it was because of the Demonic Dark Bloodline that he changed?
If so, Su Muyao understood.
Just thinking about these things made her feel a bit sad and worried, not knowing if she would ever see Xie Guixue again.
Wen Nanxi was more concerned about Su Muyao’s feelings, as he always wanted to ask a question, "Ayao, when you were possessed back then, was your Divine Soul still in your body?"
Su Muyao explained, "It went to a different place."
Wen Nanxi’s heart tightened, "Was Ayao alright there?"
"Will you go back there?"
What he worried about was these things.
Su Muyao shook her head, "I won’t go back."
"The people I love are all here, and the environment here is better than there."
She had no attachment to the environment of her previous life.
Here, she has family and loved ones. Although it’s a place where the strong prey on the weak, it has abundant green vegetation and natural food, and she likes it here.
So guarding the Beast World isn’t just a mission or responsibility, it’s also something she personally wants to do.
Listening to this, Wen Nanxi felt at ease.
The two of them continued to discuss Xie Yanran’s situation.
Wen Nanxi continued, "Master Xie wants to release the Insect Clan Beastmen from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, wanting chaos in the Beast World and the rise of the Demon Race Beastmen."
"So, we can’t let the Insect Clan Beastmen from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land come out. Looking at the Spider Beastman’s way of doing things, once they’re out, it’s uncontrollable."
Su Muyao concentrated and nodded, "I know, it’s just that it’s been a hundred thousand years, and the power of the Sealing Barrier set by countless Great Powers of the Witch Clan back then might have weakened a lot."
"Quite a few Spider Beastmen have already emerged from the Cang Beast Continent. If it continues like this, even more Insect Clan Beastmen will appear."
Wen Nanxi whispered, "We need to find Wushan Divine Hall, there should be records there on how to reinforce the Sealing Barrier."
This was included in the part of the Divine Soul Memory Wen Nanxi obtained.
"Moreover, the place where Wushan Divine Hall is located also used to lead directly to the Floating Light Tide Sea."
At this, Su Muyao suddenly thought of something.
She had asked the Moon Clan Chief where the true ancestral land of the ancient Beastmen was when she was with the Moon Clan.
The Moon Clan Chief said something as well.
He said that according to records, long ago in the Beast World, under the Infinite Sea of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, a place was connected. Some Beastmen lived there, but later, for some unknown reason, those Beastmen came through the sea area of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land to the Beast World Continent where they live now.
The Endless Sea was once the Floating Light Tide Sea, meaning the Floating Light Tide Sea was once connected to another place.
The Clan Chief also said at the time that Wushan Divine Hall was established in a place of the Great Wilderness to guard a passage, preventing the Beastmen there from coming over, as rumors have it that the Beastmen there could endanger this Beast World.
So, Wushan Divine Hall is connected to the Floating Light Tide Sea, and there are unique passages in the Floating Light Tide Sea.
Unfortunately, if we could contact Di Fu Yuan now, we should really ask him about this matter.
Su Muyao thought about many things and said, "When Mr. Zhuang wakes up, let’s go to the forest of the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe first to see what we find."
If there are treasures or opportunities, they certainly can’t be missed.
If there is a Black Demon Stone Mine, she will also collect it into space.
Although she can’t use it, perhaps it will be useful in the future.
"Your body..."
Wen Nanxi worried that Su Muyao, being pregnant, might be affected by such a journey.
Su Muyao held Wen Nanxi’s hand and said, "I feel good, it’s okay."
We can’t just stay in the Su Mansion forever, lingering for a month.
Moreover, the current environment of the Beast World, the Su Mansion might not be safe.
Having made the decision, Su Muyao began to prepare.
She first went to the Imperial Palace and told the Empress about Master Xie, and the Empress dispatched the Royal Guard to monitor the Xie Family, while secretly searching for Master Xie.
When the Empress learned that Su Muyao was pregnant, she was excited beyond measure, almost wanting her to stay in the palace to recuperate.
Su Muyao had to put in quite an effort to convince the Empress.
...
Once Zhuang Beiyuan woke up, they set off for the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe.
Because Su Muyao was pregnant, she couldn’t use a Teleportation Talisman, as it would bring spatial pressure, so they could only ride a Flying Horse Beast to quickly head to the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe.
This time, Zhuang Beiyuan also brought Xie Xiaoqi along.
The Flying Horse Beast was fast, and Su Muyao also attached a talisman to it, making it even faster.
A few days later, on a snowy night, they arrived at the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe.
The tribe was hidden within the forest, surrounded by Illusion Realms, Blinding Techniques, and Arrays.
Zhuang Beiyuan explained, "I heard from my father that our ancestor invited an Array Master to lay out this place."
"Without a tribe member to guide, it’s hard for anyone to find it."
As for the Illusion Realm, they set it up themselves.
When they arrived at the gate of the tribe, they saw the massive gate tightly shut, with a vigilant air about it.
Su Muyao looked around and suddenly sensed something, "There’s a smell of blood."
Moreover, this bloody smell gave Su Muyao an uncomfortable feeling.
Zhuang Beiyuan formed a seal with his hands and cast an Illusion Technique through the walls to look inside. He seemed to see something, his face changed, "Something is wrong with the tribe."
"In the past, no matter how cold the weather, it wouldn’t be that every household would have their lights off at this time."
"There’s still a dark aura rising from Lin Zhuang’s place."
This was the tribe where Zhuang Beiyuan had lived since childhood, and some tribespeople were very kind to him.
Moreover, after his father’s death, with Lin Zhuang as the tribal leader, many in the tribe opposed it.
Even when he got married, the tribespeople advised him not to agree.
But at that time, he had no choice.
Su Muyao said, "We’ll have to sneak in and take a look."
For the current Su Muyao, entering such a tribe silently is quite simple.
Moreover, Wen Nanxi now has Level 20 Spirit Transformation Mirror strength, making it easy to handle these things.
She didn’t want to waste time in the tribe here anyway.
Originally, she wanted to directly find some mineral veins, but she had to pass through this tribe, so they came here first.
"Dark aura?"
"Is it Dark Beastmen? The same kind as Master Xie?"
If so, it makes sense that these two have been colluding for a long time.
