Ch272 - Master Seeks

Edited by Zaki

After leaving the island, the Fox King and his Sons returned to the Fox Clan on a flying magic artifact.

“Father, tell me, was that dead wolf back there the Wolf King?” Looking at her father, Hu Qiqi asked uncertainly.

“It should be Lang Hao. Besides Lang Hao, do we have another four-star Wolf demon beast in the Spiritual Profound Realm in the Tianyao Continent?” Nodding, the Fox King felt that the corpse on the ground must be the Wolf King—Lang Hao.

“Yes, so it was that Senior Hu Jiang who killed him?” Hu Qiqi asked again.

“It should be. Although that Hu Jiang was only two stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm, his blood was surging and his body should be very strong. Moreover, the aura of the Spiritual Profound Realm on his body was very strong. Presumably he had just left seclusion not long ago.” The Fox King’s eyes narrowed as he spoke about these. He felt that if the brothers Hu Jiang and Hu Yue wanted to replace him, then he, the Fox King, might have to abdicate to make way for the new people.

“The inner perimeter of the small island has been shrouded in a protective barrier. That is to say, this Hu Jiang may have been secluded on the small island before, and was in the process of advancing to the Spiritual Profound Realm. But now, he has successfully advanced. Now, the island has two cultivators at the Spiritual Profound Realm.” After thinking for a while, the Eldest Prince made an inference.

“No, there are four people on this island. Besides Hu Jiang, Hu Yue and Jin Yuan, there is also an Alchemist. That person is most likely from the human race.” Looking at everyone, the Second Prince said his thoughts.

“Second Brother, how do you know?” Hu Qiqi was very curious about this.

“When we landed on the island, Hu Jiang and Jin Yuan stood beside the body of the Wolf King. I heard Hu Jiang say that the Wolf King was old and the meat was not tasty. Jin Yuan said, let her Master make alchemy for Hu Jiang. So, I suspect that there is another person on the island, Jin Yuan’s Master. That mysterious Alchemist.” The Second Prince expressed his opinion.

“En, what the Second Child said makes sense.” Nodding, the Fox King agreed.

“IfXiaoYuan and that mysterious alchemist are in a master-servant relationship, then Hu Jiang and Hu Yue may not necessarily be Brothers. Have you noticed that Hu Jiang’s bone age is obviously younger than that of Hu Yue? It’s impossible for him to be the Older Brother.” Speaking of this, the Third Prince frowned.

“En, what the Third Child said is also reasonable. It seems that the relationship between these four people may not be as simple as they said previously.” Nodding, the Fox King also felt that the cultivators on this small island were becoming more and more elusive.

“Oh, Father, why should we care about their relationship? We are just business partners, there is no need for us to care about their affairs. I think the most important thing now is to take advantage of the Wolf King’s death and take back all the mines and resources that the Wolf Clan stole from us as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the news of the Wolf King’s death spreads out, other forces will immediately go to seize the Wolf Clan’s properties, and if we are late, there will be nothing left for us to take back.” Hu Qiqi was a little anxious.

For so many years, the Fox Clan had been suppressed by the cultivators of the Wolf Clan, and many of their resources had been robbed by the Wolf Clan. Now was the time to take back the mines and treasures of the Fox Clan. It was time that the Fox Clan would defeat the Wolf Clan in one fell swoop.

“XiaoQi is right. With the death of the Wolf King, we don’t have to be afraid of the Wolf Clan anymore. We should take back everything that belongs to our Fox Clan.”

“Yes, defeat the Wolves and get what we deserve.”

“En, okay, we will deploy immediately after we return to the Fox Clan, and send troops to fight against the Wolf Clan.” Nodding, the Fox King agreed.

Hearing this, the faces of the other three people were not good. Yes, this matter was so confidential, how could the Wolf Clan know?

“Perhaps a spy from the Bear Clan told the Wolf Clan, it might not necessarily be a cultivator from our Fox Clan, right?” After thinking about it, the Third Prince said his thoughts.

“There is also this possibility, but Father still needs to investigate carefully when he returns. If there are really spies in the clan, we must not let them go.”

“En, the Second Child is right, this matter must be investigated carefully.” The Fox King was also very cautious about this issue.

———————–

Twelve years later, Shengtian Continent——Jiang City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Sitting together, Xuanyuan Chen and Jiang Yuantu were drinking tea while listening to other people’s reports on the situation.

“Two Seniors, Senior Brother Ye and I have already gone to Xiang City and Tian City, but we didn’t find Brother Liu and Brother Jiang.” Helian Tianwen reported respectfully.

“Two Seniors, I went to the Yang family’s residence in Hai City. However, the stone slabs that Yang Ming brought back from the Mechanism Island were all incomplete fragments, and could no longer be recovered.” Helian Tianqi was very helpless as he reported the issue.

At that, Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly. “These two brats, one is more troublesome than the other, don’t know where they have gone.”

“It’s a good thing you can’t find them. If we can find them, most likely the Sun Family will also be able to find them.” Jiang Yuantu said lightly after taking a sip of tea.

Five years ago, Helian Xiaoxiao received a letter from her Father, and only then did she become aware that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had come to the Shengtian Continent, so she told her Master Jiang Yuantu about it. When Jiang Yuantu heard that Helian Xiaoxiao’s family letter was brought to the Zunhuang Continent by the Zunhuang Merchant Firm, a branch of the Zunhuang Sect, he immediately realized that it was not good.

Jiang Yuantu was worried that the Sun Family would go to the Shengtian Continent, so he went to find Xuanyuan Chen, brought Helian Xiaoxiao, Ye Qian, Shen Xin, and the five of them rode a ninth-level flying magic artifact. It took them five years to arrive at the Shengtian Continent.

It had been three months since they came to the Shengtian Continent. They had been looking for the two disciples, but they heard that those two went to the Mechanism Island to get some opportunities, but before the island closed down they had already teleported away, and they didn’t know where they had been transported to.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Jiang Yuantu, but said nothing.

“Master, do you think the two brothers have teleported back to Zunhuang Continent?” Looking at his Master, Ye Qian asked uncertainly.

“No, with Mufeng’s personality, he won’t go back beforeXiaoXu advances. SinceXiaoXu was already half-step in the Spiritual Profound Realm when he was in Tianji Island, he will definitely find a way to letXiaoXu advance first and only go back after being promoted.” Jiang Yuantu still understood his apprentice very well.

“En, I also think that Second Senior Brother is not a reckless person, he won’t go back rashly.” Nodding, Helian Xiaoxiao agreed.

“Have you found that broken slab?” Looking at Helian Tianqi, Jiang Yuantu asked.

“Senior, don’t worry, the stone slabs have been found, not only did I find the slabs, I also brought the City Lord of Hai City and his son, Daoist Friend Yang Ming, back with me. Both Father and Son are sixth-level Array Masters, and they may be able to help.” Helian Tianqi replied to Jiang Yuantu.

Jiang Yuantu nodded. “That’s good, let’s go and see.”

“Okay.” Nodding, everyone accompanied Jiang Yuantu and Xuanyuan Chen to the courtyard.

“Greetings to the two Seniors.” Seeing the two, Yang Ming and Yang Ming’s Father, Yang Chengshu, bowed their heads respectfully.

“You don’t need to be too polite.” After waving his hand, Jiang Yuantu looked at the broken stone slabs on the ground. “Are these the stone slabs?”

“Yes Senior, there are eight stone slabs in total. Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Liu used these slabs to teleport away.” Nodding, Yang Ming replied affirmatively. The reason why he had collected the stone slabs back then was just to do some research. But he didn’t expect that, because of this, he would have the opportunity to meet higher continent cultivators.

“What kind of formation is on these stone slabs?” Jiang Yuantu asked again.

“It’s a one-time teleportation formation, however, it’s not really a formation, my father said that it doesn’t seem to be a formation of our human race.” Yang Ming looked at his Father Yang Chengshu as he said that.

At those words, Jiang Yuantu and Xuanyuan Chen also looked over.

Being stared at by the two powerful men, Yang Chengshu suddenly felt undue pressure. “Reporting to the two Seniors, I have studied the lines on this stone slab, and I think this may not be a formation of the human race, but rather a Totem of a certain race.”

“A certain race? The Tianyan Clan? Isn’t the Mechanism Island you went to the remains of the Tianyan Clan?” After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Chen asked.

“En, I don’t know about that.” Shaking his head, Yang Chengshu expressed that he didn’t know.

“Senior, I don’t think this is the Totem of the Tianyan Clan. Because I have seen the totems and characters of the Tianyan Clan, it is not the same as this.” Yang Ming spoke up.

“Oh? You’ve seen it before. Where did you see it? Tianji Island?” Jiang Yuantu asked Yang Ming.

“Yes, I have seen some text of the Tianyan Clan on Tianji Island. In addition, Fellow Daoist Liu Mufeng once performed a ritualistic ceremony on Tianji Island. On the clothes that we had worn, and the tambourines and flags, the totems of the Tianyan Clan were painted. The text was different from this one.” Yang Ming said as he looked at Jiang Yuantu.

“Liu Mufeng went to the ruins of the Tianyan Clan and performed rituals?” Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen’s head was full of black lines.

“Yes Senior, we did a ritual. At that time, it was me and my Brother, as well as Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Jiang, who did the ritualistic activities together.” Helian Tianqi took out the clothes, flags and tambourines that were used in the ritual.

“Why were you doing a ritual, Brother?” Looking at her Elder Brother, Helian Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“Of course it’s for opportunity. There are 18 statues of the ancestors of the Tianyan Clan. Fellow Daoist Liu said that you could get the blessings of the ancestors after doing the ritual. The fortune will be much better, and it will be safer to go to the inner city.” Looking at his Sister, Helian Tianwen explained.

“Hei, this kid is quite superstitious.” Xuanyuan Chen snorted lightly after listening to the narration.

“No, there really was a blessing given. Us Brothers and Fellow Daoist Jiang Xu got three golden lights each, and Fellow Daoist Liu got nine golden lights. Many people saw this.” Speaking of this, Helian Tianqi is very serious.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.” Nodding, Yang Ming affirmed.

“Mufeng has always been knowledgeable and talented. I didn’t expect that he, a human cultivator, could hold the ritual activities of the Tianyan Clan. It’s amazing.” Shen Xin felt that Liu Mufeng was simply too powerful. He could actually understand the culture of other races and do other races’ rituals as well.

“Mufeng always does things unexpectedly.” As he spoke, Jiang Yuantu took those flags, clothes and tambourines to check. Sure enough, the totems of the Tianyan Clan were different from the totems on the slate.

“If the totems on these stone slabs are not the totems of the Tianyan Clan, then where would the two Senior Brothers be transported to?” Speaking of this, Ye Qian frowned.

“Yeah, where did they go?” Thinking of his apprentice, Jiang Yuantu was also very worried.

“Jiang Xu, you little brat.” Frowning, Xuanyuan Chen muttered,. He was also very worried about the safety of his little apprentice.
