Chapter 707

"That's right. Let's hope that we can gain something." Han Li said as he looked into the distance.

Patriarch Twilight Rock quickly led a group of people to deliver nearly a thousand ancient tomes as well as some jade slips and other items. Most of these were books; jade slips and other items were somewhat rare.

There were not many people in the Grey Lizard Clan who liked to read books. These books were not well preserved. Many of them were covered in dust and some were even damaged.

Chief Xi Yan felt ashamed and repeatedly apologized. Han Li and Shi Kuang Kong naturally did not care about these small matters and quickly dismissed him.

These books covered a wide variety of topics. The two of them wanted to understand the Dust World from all aspects.

The night passed without words.

On the second day, the Grey Lizard Clan continued their journey. However, they made some adjustments to their route.

Han Li and Shi Kuang Kong stayed in the chief's tent and did not leave. They maintained the distance of high nobles and carefully studied the books.

The two of them were like two sponges, crazily absorbing all information about the Dust World.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

After a long journey, the Grey Lizard Clan had finally reached their destination, the Rippling Lake.

The Rippling Lake was located in the middle of the June Prairie. It had a large area of tens of thousands of miles. It was named after a special crystal called the Rippling Stone.

"This is the Rippling Lake!" Han Li and Shi Kuang Kong stood in the tent and looked at the huge lake in front of them.

The water of the Rippling Lake was extremely clear. A few scattered white birds slowly swam on the surface of the lake. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the surface of the lake to undulate.

Han Li took a deep breath. Other than the monotonous color of the Rippling Lake, the scenery was rare. It gave people a feeling of broad-mindedness. It looked like a vast lake in the Immortal World.

Waves of moist air assaulted their faces, causing them to become spirited.

Tens of thousands of people had gathered on a large flat ground to the south of the lake. Although there was still some time before the Tamuda Assembly, most of the races had already arrived.

A white cloud suddenly flew over and stopped in front of the Grey Lizard Clan.

A few figures wearing white robes stood on the white cloud. These people all had the bodies of humans and the heads of birds. Their eyes were bright and flashed with a crystalline light.

The white robes they wore were made of an extraordinary material, and they were embroidered with all kinds of patterns that shone brightly. Compared to the Grey Lizard Clansmen's attire, their robes were more than ten times better.

The one in the lead was a tall Youth with a formidable aura. He had already reached the True Immortal stage.

This person had no feathers on his face, and his cheeks were smooth. His facial features were almost humanoid, but his nose was still a little long, and his eyes were a little sunken. He gave off a cold and arrogant feeling.

"Are you guys from the Gray Lizard Clan?" The tall Youth swept his gaze over the Gray Lizard Clan and asked with a condescending tone.

"I am Xi Yan of the Grey Lizard Race. Greetings, Envoy Miao." Xi Yan hurriedly flew out and bowed to the tall Youth. Clearly, he knew this person.

"Xi Feng, who is this?" Han Li called over a Gray Lizard clansman outside the tent and asked.

This man was a Body Integration Stage elder of the Grey Lizard Tribe. He had come under the command of Tribe Leader Xi Yan to attend to Han Li and explain the various matters of the convention.

"Reporting to the two Exalted Immortals. His name is Miao Kui. He is a law enforcer under the command of Lord Three Sprouts," Elder Xi Feng said respectfully.

"So he is one of Lord Three Sprouts' men. No wonder he is putting on such a grand show." Han Li faintly smiled and said indifferently.

… …

The tall Youth glanced at Xi Yan and said indifferently, "There are only two months left until the Tamuda Assembly. Your Gray Lizard Clan has arrived quite early.

Most of the good seats in the venue have already been occupied by other tribes, "the tall young man glanced at Xi Yan and said in an indifferent tone.

"What? Only two months?"

Tribe Leader Xi Yan's expression changed as he cried out involuntarily, "But according to past conventions, there should still be at least a year before the Tamuda Assembly begins."

In order to not affect the order of the Tamuda Assembly, the locations of the tribes' camps and the trading areas had been predetermined in advance and corresponded with each other.

The locations of the camps were fine since no one cared about them. However, the location of the trading areas had a great impact on the transactions.

"The Lord has ordered that the assembly will be held in advance. What? Does the Lord's orders require your opinion?" The tall Youth sneered and said.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. This one has misspoken. I hope Honorable Envoy Miao won't take offense.

This is just a small token. Please accept it and arrange a good spot for our Gray Lizard Tribe, "Tribe Leader Xi Yan hurriedly apologized.

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and took out a small black bag, stuffing it into the hands of the tall Youth.

The tall Youth scanned the bag with his consciousness. Only then did his expression relax a little.

"All the good spots have already been occupied. How about this, since the twenty-second area isn't being used yet, I'll give it to your Gray Lizard Tribe." The tall Youth took out a white jade tablet and threw it to Xi Yan.

"Many thanks, Honorable Envoy." Xi Yan's expression relaxed slightly. He received the jade tablet and cupped his hands with a smile.

The tall Youth waved his hand. The white cloud flashed and whistled away.

Xi Yan watched them leave and sighed softly. He waved his hand and led the Gray Lizard Tribe in a certain direction. They quickly arrived at the designated camp.

This place wasn't too far back, but it definitely wasn't a good place either. One tribe after another was lined up in front. The Gray Lizard Tribe's spot was very inconspicuous.

Inside the tent, Han Li and Shi Chuankong looked at the surrounding tribes.

The tribes here were all different in appearance. It was an eye-opening experience for the two of them.

There were about twenty to thirty tribes that had already arrived.

Moreover, the scale of these nearby tribes was quite large. Whether it was the number of people or the experts in their tribes, they were all above the Gray Lizard Tribe. Most of the tribes had True Immortals overseeing them.

In comparison, the Gray Lizard Tribe was much weaker.

Han Li smiled faintly. He didn't mind. His gaze turned and looked at the other side of the lake.

That place was also divided into many areas. Each area had a stall filled with all kinds of goods. It looked like a place for the tribes to trade.

Countless figures were moving about. It was very lively.

Han Li's eyes lit up. Shi Chuankong also looked in that direction.

The Gray Lizard Tribe's group suddenly stopped. Another group suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked the path.

"Oh, isn't this Chief Xi Yan?

I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years. How come your Gray Lizard Tribe still has so few people? It seems like you haven't developed at all. The Gray Lizard Tribe that once shook the world has really fallen. It's really … tsk tsk. "An ear-piercing voice sounded. A middle-aged ugly man with scales on his face walked out from the group in front.

The big man's cheeks were thin and sunken. His nose was very flat. His eyes were long and thin. He looked extremely ugly.

Although this person was ugly, his cultivation had reached the True Immortal Realm. Although he was only at the Early Stage of True Immortal, he was stronger than everyone in the Gray Lizard Tribe.

"Yun Zhao, what does my Gray Lizard Tribe have to do with you? Get out of the way!" Xi Yan said coldly with an ugly expression.

"Hehe, how can you say it has nothing to do with me? In the past, our two tribes were competitors. Your Gray Lizard Tribe really makes things difficult for me." The middle-aged man's face was full of ridicule. He didn't have the slightest intention of getting out of the way.

Xi Yan's face was ashen, but he didn't say a word.

When the nearby tribes saw the situation, they all looked over. No one stepped forward to stop them. Instead, most of them looked like they were watching the show and were taking pleasure in their misfortune.

"Xi Feng, who is this person?" Han Li asked slowly inside the tent.

"Reporting to the Exalted Immortal, that person is the Shadow Serpent Tribe's Patriarch, Yun Zhao. The Shadow Serpent Tribe and our Gray Lizard Tribe fought over a mine in the past.

This person is very vengeful. He would come every time the Tamuda Assembly to find trouble, "Xi Feng said with an ugly expression.

"With your Gray Lizard Tribe's strength, you dare to fight with them?" Han Li asked curiously.

"This … To be honest, Exalted Immortal, Patriarch Xi Yan was originally at the True Immortal Realm. Our Gray Lizard Tribe also had two Great Ascension Stage Elders. However, our tribe was attacked by an extremely powerful True Immortal Realm Gray Beast several hundred years ago. The two Great Ascension Stage Elders died, and the Patriarch was seriously injured. Although he was saved, his strength was greatly reduced, and he fell to the Great Ascension Stage. Otherwise, our Gray Lizard Tribe would not have fallen to our current situation," Xi Feng explained with a flushed face.

"Oh, so it's like that." Han Li nodded slightly.

As Han Li and Xi Feng spoke, the Shadow Serpent Tribe's Patriarch continued to block their way.

"Yun Zhao, I can't be bothered to argue with you today. The Tamu Da Assembly is hosted by the Lord of the Three Sprouts. You're purposely blocking my way and not letting my tribe enter. Could it be that you're ignoring the orders of the Lord of the Three Sprouts?" Xi Yan took a deep breath and slowly said.

"Why do you say that, Patriarch Xi Yan? How could I dare to disobey Lord Three Sprout's orders? I just came to greet an acquaintance. Why must Patriarch Xi Yan keep me a thousand miles away?

Could it be that you are afraid of me? "When Yun Zhao heard the name of Lord Three Sprout, his expression froze for a moment before he laughed loudly.

The nearby tribes that were watching the show also laughed loudly and pointed at the Gray Lizard Tribe.

"You …" Xi Yan's face was filled with shame and anger.

Everyone in the Gray Lizard Tribe had ugly expressions.

Han Li's expression darkened when he saw this.

Inside the tent, Xi Feng's face was ashen and his entire body was trembling with anger. He suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Han Li. "Exalted Immortal, the Shadow Serpent Tribe has gone too far. Could you …"

Han Li glanced at Xi Feng, then turned around and walked inside.

Xi Feng's face suddenly turned pale. If Han Li didn't care about this matter, then the Gray Lizard Tribe would really lose face today.

"Xi Yan, quickly arrange everything. I don't have time to waste with you and these laughable people," Han Li said as he sat down in the tent.

Although his voice was not loud, it reverberated in the surroundings like rolling thunder, attracting everyone's attention.

When the people nearby heard this, some of the more knowledgeable people immediately withdrew their mocking expressions.

Yun Zhao also frowned.

When Xi Yan heard Han Li's rebuke, he was overjoyed. He turned around and bowed in the direction of the tent, saying, "Yes!

Exalted Immortal, don't worry. "

"Yun Zhao, make way. I have something to do and don't have time to argue with you here," Xi Yan said coldly as he turned around to look at Yun Zhao. His aura and attitude were completely different from before.

"Oh, you immediately become tough with someone supporting you. What a competent lackey.

Who exactly did you invite? Why don't you call them out and let us all see just how capable they are! "Yun Zhao's eyes flashed. Very quickly, a cold smile appeared on his face as he looked at the tent and said.

When some of the quick-witted people nearby heard this, they couldn't help but curse Yun Zhao for being cunning and shameless. He actually wanted to drag everyone down with him.

(I wish everyone a happy New Year!

Great luck!

Everything goes according to plan!

All my wishes will come true ~ ^)
