Chapter 55

Tanyu heard this long howl, as if a fierce dragon had suddenly flown out before him, stirring the heavens and the earth.

His heart was shocked: "Another top-tier powerhouse!"

This howl was very unfamiliar, not the voice of Wang Yue or Shi Huang, clearly a new master. But his strength seemed no less than that of Wang Yue and Shi Huang.

"Xiao Lan, come back."

"Yinyin, hold on."

Almost simultaneously, Tanyu and Tang Nanzhu called out to stop the imminent confrontation between Xi Zhilan and Zeng Yinyin.

Tanyu and Tang Nanzhu exchanged glances.

Both of them felt that this fight was actually unnecessary; this was not the time for sparring.

Zeng Yinyin's meaningless provocation and Xi Zhilan's overly impulsive nature made the conflict between the two women potentially dangerous.

It was a good time to stop it.

Xi Zhilan and Zeng Yinyin also heard the howl, and were both deeply moved.

As rare female experts in the dark realm, they understood better than ordinary men the difficulty of advancing step by step, and thus had a more devout reverence for higher-level power.

Xi Zhilan's slender figure flashed back, and she saw Tanyu's worried face, which made her smile and feel much more relaxed.

"Brother Yu, why do you look so gloomy?"

Zeng Yinyin, on the other hand, turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a clear and resonant voice came from the air.

"Lord Wang, Lord Shi, this is Zhao Song. I have come from afar to meet you, and I humbly request an audience."

This voice was boundless, almost covering the sky for tens of miles around. Tanyu, Sheng Chang, and the others all heard it clearly.

Xi Zhilan suddenly exclaimed, "It's him!"

Tanyu suddenly looked at Xi Zhilan, seeing her face flush red, as if she had remembered something particularly important.

"Who is he?"

The one who asked was Tang Nanzhu. Tanyu turned his head and saw that Sheng Chang, Zeng Yinyin, and almost everyone else were staring at Xi Zhilan.

Xi Zhilan didn't expect this to happen. She rolled her eyes, walked up to Tanyu, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tanyu's face was full of confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what Xi Zhilan was saying.

"Little sister, catch it." Zeng Yinyin suddenly smiled and threw something over, which shimmered with light.

Tanyu reached out to catch it, but Zeng Yinyin said, "It's not for you!"

Tanyu hesitated and pulled back his hand, and Xi Zhilan had already darted forward to catch it.

It was a bright red phoenix hairpin.

A hairpin, simply put, is a hairpin with a pendant or tassel, a high-end accessory for women, made of materials such as gold, silver, jade, or stone. In the Han Dynasty, it was mostly used by noblewomen and was also a symbol of status and rank. It wasn't until the Song and Ming Dynasties that it became a common accessory for women and was widely used.

Of course, it was now the turbulent late Han period, and ordinary people used it without paying attention to these details.

However, this kind of head accessory was still quite rare in the hands of the barbarians.

Xi Zhilan looked at it and saw that it was a delicate, spread-winged phoenix made of red jade. When shaken, the golden tassel swayed, and in the morning sun, it looked particularly alluring.

"I heard you are the young master's bodyguard. I just wanted to test your skills, no ill intentions. This phoenix hairpin was given to me by my master. I will now pass it on to you. Don't be angry, okay?"

Xi Zhilan looked at Tanyu with a rather strange expression, as if she was pleading with him.

"Alright!" Tanyu sighed inwardly. Girls are so easy to please. Xiao Lan was very indignant at being underestimated by this girl, but seeing the hairpin, she didn't immediately throw it back. Sigh! Well, I'll give her this favor, "If you like it, keep it and thank her properly."

"Great!" Xi Zhilan beamed and immediately tried on the hairpin, inserting it into her hair.

"Little sister, let me help you." Zeng Yinyin said with a smile.

The next scene showed the two girls, who had just been ready to fight to the death, now laughing and hugging like sisters, completely ignoring the eager onlookers.

Tanyu shook his head and said to Tang Nanzhu, "Xiao Lan said that she heard that ten years ago in the Central Plains of the north, there were four great masters who were once very powerful. Zhao Song was one of them, known as the 'Yellow Turban Spear King.'"

Tang Nanzhu and Sheng Chang both exclaimed in surprise, "Spear King Zhao Song? It's him!"

Tanyu touched his face, thinking, "Who is this person?"

At this moment, a loud laugh came from not far away.

"Ha ha ha ha, it turns out the Northern Spear King has arrived. I am deeply honored!"

This voice was very familiar, it was the Governor of Cangwu, Lord Shi.

Tanyu followed the sound and called out, "Old man, old man!"

Shi Huang ignored him, and a figure suddenly darted past them, exchanging a punch with Sheng Chang, who was standing on the outskirts.

Sheng Chang grunted and took two steps back, seemingly at a slight disadvantage.

"Sheng family's young man has made great progress!" Shi Huang commented and flew away without touching the ground.

Seeing him, Sheng Chang, Tang Nanzhu, and the others were eager to follow.

But then they heard another voice, "Tanyu, you're here. Come with me."

Tanyu's left hand was grabbed.

Tanyu was delighted, "Senior Wang!"

Wang Yue laughed heartily, and a gentle force enveloped his waist. He whispered, "Focus your mind, release your qi and blood, and follow me."

Tanyu whispered, "Yes."

As everyone watched in amazement, Wang Yue and Tanyu held hands and walked away, quickly chasing after Shi Huang.

Tang Nanzhu took a step but then retracted it, saying, "Don't chase. Go and report to the lord quickly."

Sheng Chang held his breath and said nothing.

Zeng Yinyin said, "With such a big commotion, do you think the lord doesn't know?"

Feeling a movement in her hand, she saw that Xi Zhilan had pulled back her hand. Looking to the side, she saw that Xi Zhilan looked anxious, just watching the direction where Tanyu had flown away.

Zeng Yinyin instantly understood her thoughts and said with a smile, "Silly girl, why are you so anxious? Wang Yue shouldn't have any ill intentions towards him."

Xi Zhilan bit her teeth, thinking, "That old man is too fast. The Spirit Butterfly Transformation can't follow him for more than two miles before being left behind. What should I do?"

Suddenly, an old voice said in her ear, "Silly girl, come over here, follow me."

"Grandmaster!" Xi Zhilan was overjoyed and called out.

A purple figure flashed by, and Xi Zhilan was also gone.

Tang Nanzhu looked at Sheng Chang, then at Zeng Yinyin, and finally at Tanyu's distant figure.

"Only the few of us are left?"

Sheng Chang coughed twice and smiled bitterly without speaking.

Suddenly, another cheerful laugh came from the distance, and someone praised joyfully, "The meeting of the Divine Farmer, a gathering of talents, what a great event!"

It was unknown which top-tier powerhouse had appeared.

The several barbarian leaders were depressed. Compared to these people from all over China, are we all outsiders?

Depressed, compared to urban and fantasy, our history just can't compete...
