The Chi Jiao Clan was also a very small clan. It was said that the entire clan had less than 10,000 members. When they gathered together, their overall strength could barely be ranked in the middle among the various clans on the Lang Cheng Continent.
Although the Chi Jiao Clan was small, they occupied a large forest for their living and residence. This forest was also called the Chi Jiao Forest. The resources inside were very rich and there were countless treasures of heaven and earth.
However, the most famous thing about the Chi Jiao Forest was not the Chi Jiao Clan that ruled here, but the Musk Dragon Fruit.
The Musk Dragon Fruit was a top-grade alchemy material. It was very rare in other places in the Cultivation World, but it was easy to find in the Chi Jiao Forest. The Chi Jiao Clan also often sold the Musk Dragon Fruit in exchange for spirit stones or immortal stones to support the cultivation of their clansmen.
Of course, the Musk Dragon Fruit, like other treasures of heaven and earth, had differences in age and quality. The worst Musk Dragon Fruit could only be regarded as a low-grade spirit fruit. However, it was said that the best Musk Dragon Fruit produced in the Chi Jiao Forest could reach the level of a middle-grade immortal fruit.
If it were not for the fact that the method of cultivating the high-grade Musk Dragon Fruit was only known to the Chi Jiao Clan after so many years, the Chi Jiao Clan would have been coveted by powerful experts just for the sake of the Musk Dragon Fruit, which would lead to a disaster.
After Xiao Lingyu inquired about the news, he flew all the way to the Chi Jiao Forest. Just less than a thousand miles into the Chi Jiao Forest, he was stopped by two cultivators of the Chi Jiao Clan.
The two cultivators of the Chi Jiao Clan looked similar to the cultivators of the Human Clan. They had noses, eyes, two arms and two legs. However, there was a curved horn on their forehead that was only half a foot long.
"Your Excellency, please wait. This is the encampment of the Chi Jiao Clan. No cultivator is allowed to trespass without permission!"
A young cultivator of the Chi Jiao Clan, whose cultivation was not weaker than the Body Integration Stage, held the long spear in his hand in front of his chest and said coldly.
Although Xiao Lingyu was anxious about the safety of Ge Yunfei, he felt that he could not be too hasty. After all, a long time had passed. Ge Yunfei must have been in the hands of others. If he used force, it might be counterproductive.
"Haha, I'm here to look for my brother. I'll have to trouble the two of you to inform the elders of the clan." Xiao Lingyu smiled politely.
"Your brother is not in Chi Jiao Forest, please go back." Hearing that Xiao Lingyu came uninvited, the young Chi Jiao Clan cultivator directly rejected his request.
"My brother asked me to come here and look for him. He must be here. The two of you should go back and ask him." Xiao Lingyu's tone also became serious, and her bright eyes narrowed into two thin lines.
The Chi Jiao Clan was just a small mid-class clan. The strongest in the clan was only comparable to the Five Tribulations. With such strength, Xiao Lingyu did not take them seriously. It would be fine if they cooperated. If they did not, he really did not mind directly removing the Chi Jiao Clan from the Cultivation World.
When the young cultivator saw that Xiao Lingyu did not leave, a displeased look appeared on his face. However, just as he was about to speak again, the older cultivator beside him said, "Please wait for a moment. I'll help you ask."
After speaking, he took out a Communication Spiritual Pearl and read a few words into it.
After a hundred breaths, a burly Chi Jiao Clan cultivator flew over with dozens of Chi Jiao Clan experts and surrounded Xiao Lingyu in the center.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly, but she did not attack directly. Instead, she sneered.
The aura of the leading Chi Jiao Clan cultivator was very restrained. Even Xiao Lingyu could not see through him. It was not that his cultivation was too high. He should have used some special method to hide his aura.
The Chi Jiao Clan cultivator first glanced at Xiao Lingyu a few times, and then asked arrogantly, "You're the one who came to look for your brother?"
"It's best to let your master or patriarch come out and talk. My patience is really limited." Xiao Lingyu said unhappily.
"If you want to see our patriarch, you have to see if you have the qualifications!"
The Chi Jiao Clan cultivator sneered, then swung the heavy iron spear in his hand and stabbed at Xiao Lingyu.
"Hmph, just in time!"
Xiao Lingyu also intended to intimidate these Chi Jiao Clan disciples, but he did not want to make the first move. Since they had made the first move, there was no need for him to be polite.
When the spear was only a foot away from his heart, Xiao Lingyu suddenly stretched out her palm and grabbed the spear in her hand. Then, with a slight force, the spearhead directly broke.
The Chi Jiao Clan cultivator rushed forward too fiercely and could not stop. Soon, he arrived in front of Xiao Lingyu, but he was kicked in the stomach by Xiao Lingyu. Then, he let out a painful cry and spat out blood. His body flew backward far away, smashing many trees along the way.
It was only when he hit the opponent that Xiao Lingyu felt that the level of this middle-aged cultivator was similar to the master of the Dacheng Stage of the Human Clan. The gap between him and him was too big.
With just one move, he was seriously injured. The middle-aged Chi Jiao Clan cultivator was extremely shocked. No matter what, he was also a powerhouse in the clan, but he could not take the seemingly understated move of the other party. After being shocked, he did not fly back. Instead, he took out his communication spiritual bead, and then stood in front of Xiao Lingyu with a dignified expression with dozens of Chi Jiao Clan masters.
Xiao Lingyu also saw the other party's message, so he was not in a hurry to rush over, but waited for the other party's powerhouses to come.
The other party's reaction speed was not slow. Xiao Lingyu only waited for fifty breaths, and three seemingly old Chi Jiao Clan masters came, but Xiao Lingyu still could not sense their exact cultivation.
"I am Chi Zheng, the current patriarch of the Chi You Clan. May I know how to address you?" It was an old man dressed in a linen robe. He had a curved golden horn on his head. Although he was old, he looked very dignified.
"My surname is Xiao. I am here to ask for a person from the Chi You Clan. He is my sworn brother, Ge Yunfei." Xiao Lingyu shook his fist and said calmly.
Hearing this, Chi Zheng's face changed slightly. Since the other party had said it so clearly, he must have received reliable news, so Chi Zheng had nothing to deny. He immediately said, "Xiao Daoyou's sworn brother is indeed in my Chi Jiao Clan, but he broke into the forbidden area of my Chi Jiao Clan for no reason and intended to steal the high-level musk dragon fruit, so he was captured by us. If Xiao Daoyou takes him away like this, how can my Chi Jiao Clan establish a foothold in the Lang Cheng Continent in the future?"
"What are your conditions, Fellow Chi? You can state them." Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao's sworn brother's ability is not small. He quietly sneaked into our clan's forbidden area and almost stole the high-grade Musk Dragon Fruit. However, the high-grade Musk Dragon Fruit was not ripe, and he did not use the appropriate method to harvest it, resulting in the Musk Dragon Fruit being scrapped. Therefore, we need him to compensate for the loss of the Musk Dragon Fruit. There are not many high-level musk dragon fruits in my clan. One fruit is worth 10,000 Immortal Stones. As long as Xiao Daoyou can take out 10,000 Immortal Stones, we will immediately release him. "Chi Zheng said while stroking his beard.
"10,000 Immortal Stones?"
Xiao Lingyu looked a little embarrassed. He did not have any Immortal Stones with him, so he asked tentatively, "Can I owe it to you first?"
"This … of course not. If you don't have enough Immortal Stones with you now, you can go and collect them first. During this period, we will treat your sworn brother well. Please rest assured. "Chi Zheng shook his head and said.
"How about this? I have a few decent Immortal Stones here. Fellow Chi, come and choose one. Take it as compensation for the loss of the musk dragon fruit."
As Xiao Lingyu spoke, a few jade boxes suddenly appeared before him. After that, he opened the jade boxes and rays of light accompanied by strands of Immortal Qi surged out.
Chi Zheng's eyes narrowed when he sensed the aura of those Immortal Stones. After that, he brought his two companions over and carefully observed those Immortal Stones.
With just a few glances, the three experts from the Chijiao Clan revealed surprised expressions.
"These are all Immortal Stones. I believe the three of you can see their quality. None of them are inferior to the musk dragon fruit." Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"This …."
Even though Chi Zheng revealed a satisfied expression, he seemed to be very hesitant. The other two experts from the Chijiao Clan frowned and did not speak.
"What? Even this is not enough?" Xiao Lingyu's expression was gloomy as he asked coldly.
"Xiao Daoyou, you should go and prepare the Immortal Stones. Even though these Immortal Stones are good, they are not very useful to the cultivators of our Chijiao Clan.
Xiao Lingyu waved his sleeve and put away the jade boxes, and then his aura gushed out as he said, "You guys are so evasive. Could it be that you've already made a ruthless move against my sworn brother?"
When they sensed the terrifying Immortal Qi on Xiao Lingyu, the three experts from the Chijiao Clan all retreated as if they were facing a great enemy. It was only when Xiao Lingyu took the initiative to release his high grade Chaotic Force that they realized the strength of this newcomer was extraordinary.
"Xiao Daoyou, please forgive us. Our clan has a rule. So long as Xiao Daoyou brings 10,000 Immortal Stones, we will definitely let him go." Chi Zheng braced himself and spoke. It wasn't that he didn't want to let him go, nor was it that he looked down on Xiao Lingyu's Immortal Stones, but he really couldn't let him go now.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Xiao Lingyu's patience had been completely worn out. He raised his Immortal Qi again, and the powerful Chaotic Force actually completely sealed off a large area of the surrounding space. Even the three experts from the Chijiao Clan felt their breathing stagnate. It was as if their bodies were being squeezed by a huge force, making it difficult for them to move.
"Ask them to bring my Immortal Brother here safe and sound. Otherwise, your Chijiao Clan can just wait to be annihilated." Xiao Lingyu spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal.
"Xiao Daoyou, let's talk nicely. We will let him go immediately. However, only one of us can open the cell. Ordinary clansmen can't bring your Immortal Brother out."
Chi Zheng knew that it would be difficult to end well today. The strength of the other party was too strong. Just his Immortal Qi alone could imprison him. If the other party flew into a rage, he would probably be killed instantly. Therefore, his attitude changed drastically.
"I'll give you ten minutes," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"Chi Fang, bring Xiao Daoyou's Immortal Brother here." Chi Zheng said to an old man beside him. As he spoke, he glanced to the side meaningfully.
