The once lively Qing Mao Mountain had now become a land of ice and snow. Such a shocking change had already attracted the attention and investigation of the nearby powers. In these few months, the news of Qing Mao Mountain's destruction had already spread far and wide.
"I don't dare to think about it. Just thinking about it makes me feel pain. "Fang Yuan sat down with a sorrowful expression.
"Servants, bring the wine." Bai clan leader saw that Fang Yuan did not want to talk about it, so she did not pursue the matter and ordered a servant to bring two jars of wine.
Bai Ning Bing was indifferent. She never drank wine, only water.
Fang Yuan directly removed the seal and gulped down a mouthful, tears falling down his face again.
Bai clan leader was shocked: "Nephew, why are you crying?"
"After drinking your noble's wine, it is intoxicating. I can't help but think of my clan's Green Bamboo Wine and the days of drinking on Qing Mao Mountain." Fang Yuan said as he wiped his tears.
The clan elders sighed even louder, and many of them comforted Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's experience resonated with them. After all, Bai clan's spirit spring was showing signs of drying up. If they could not find a new spirit spring, the miserable state of Guyue clan would be the future of Bai clan.
Bai clan leader comforted Fang Yuan again before stopping his tears.
"Who wouldn't be sad when their home is destroyed? I can understand nephew's feelings. But as long as there are people, there is hope. Nephew, don't be sad. I believe that in a few days, you will be able to reunite with your clansmen. "Bai Mo Xing probed.
Fang Yuan pretended to be ignorant, wiped his tears and casually replied: "Yes, probably in a few days."
Hearing this reply, Bai Mo Xing and Bai clan leader quickly looked at each other.
After the banquet, Bai clan leader summoned Bai Mo Xing for a secret discussion.
"Clan leader, the situation is not good. Guyue Village was destroyed, why did these remnant people specially rush to Bai Gu Mountain? It is very likely that they want to seize this territory. Should we make the first move? "Bai Mo Xing said worriedly.
"Hehehe." The Bai Clan's matriarch laughed lightly.
Bai Mo Xing was slightly stunned: "Why is clan leader laughing?"
The matriarch narrowed her eyes and consoled, "Elder Mo Xing, don't be impatient. There are pros and cons to this matter. As long as we operate it well, it will save us a lot of effort. "
With this reminder, Bai Mo Xing started to think.
That's right!
The spirit spring of the Hundred Clans had been used for many years and was about to dry up. He needed to find a new spirit spring as soon as possible. This time's mission, in the name of hunting, was actually to find a suitable spirit spring on White Bone Mountain.
The Bai Clan's team had just arrived not too long ago, but they had not found anything yet. However, Guyue's remnant group had traveled such a long distance to come to White Bone Mountain, so they must have obtained some information.
It could be deduced that the Guyue family definitely had information regarding the spirit spring's location.
Bai clan leader saw the change in Bai Mo Xing's expression and continued: "Looks like you have also thought of it. Actually, as long as it was a famous mountain or a great river, it was a place where vitality gathered, and there would always be a spirit spring. However, it was not easy to find the exact location of the spirit spring. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. "
"Around our Bai Clan are the Fang Clan, Liao Clan and Fan Clan. They are all powerful clans, and they have always kept each other in check. If the news of our Bai Clan's spirit spring drying up were to spread, they would probably try to take advantage of us and hit us when we are down. Thus, we had previously discussed to secretly find the location of the spirit spring, and this time, we are using the pretense of 'hunting'. However, this way, our hands and feet will be tied, and the manpower and material resources needed to search for the spirit spring will be even greater. "
At this point, the Hundred Clans Clan Leader wanted to say something but hesitated. She was deeply worried.
Bai Mo Xing continued: "So, clan leader, you want to directly obtain information regarding the spirit spring's location from the Guyue family?"
"Exactly." Bai Mo Xing nodded, her eyes glowing: "The Guyue family's clan leader and elders are definitely not easy to deal with, but who asked those two youths to fall into our hands? This is a heaven-sent opportunity! "
Bai Mo Xing frowned: "However, I don't think those two youths are stupid. It was obvious that the girl was a stubborn person with a firm will. Although the boy's cultivation was a little weak, he was calm in the face of danger and calm in the face of trouble. The first time we met, he did not panic at all when he was surrounded by us. It will not be easy to pry open their mouths. "
Bai Mo Xing snorted: "If they do not have such determination, how can they be the young master of a clan? These two youths are very outstanding. If they are not, then I will suspect their identity. "
Bai Mo Xing continued: "So, clan leader, you have to think thrice. If we torture them, I am afraid they may not give in. They left traces along the way, and the remnants of the Guyue family will arrive very soon. These people are standard desperados who have nowhere else to go. "
Bai Mo Xing waved his hand: "Clan elder does not need to worry about this, I already have a plan."
"Oh? I would like to hear the details. "
Bai Mo Xing's murky eyes lit up as Bai Mo Xing listened in detail.
After Bai Mo Xing finished, Bai Mo Xing could not help but praise: "This plan has great potential! I have observed that Guyue Fangzheng, he is indeed concerned about the clan, he shed tears twice during the banquet, he is a person of character. He is a youngster after all, clan leader's plan is like placing honey in front of a bear cub, or a carrot in front of a rabbit's nose. There is no need to worry about him not taking the bait. "
…
Fang Yuan pulled open a corner of the tent's curtains.
It was already late at night. But Bai clan's temporary camp was brightly lit.
The tents were arranged in picturesque disorder, and there were torches on metal frames at intervals. From time to time, there were patrolling Gu Masters.
"Young master Fangzheng, what's the matter?" Fang Yuan had just pulled open the tent's curtains when two guards walked over.
Fang Yuan purposely burped: "I drank a lot during the banquet, where can I relieve myself?"
"Young master, this way please. You are our clan's esteemed guest, the clan leader has specially arranged a place for you to relieve yourself, it is less than thirty steps away. "One of the guards immediately said.
"Point me in a direction, I don't like people nearby when I relieve myself." Fang Yuan waved his hand.
"We do not dare to disobey young master's orders, the wooden hut is over there." The guard pointed and bowed before retreating.
Fang Yuan went to the wooden hut, and after taking a piss, he pretended to be drunk and purposely walked in the wrong direction. Before twenty steps, several patrolling Gu Masters walked over: "Esteemed guest, you are walking in the wrong direction, your tent is over there."
"Is that so? I remember it was over there. "Fang Yuan burped.
"Esteemed guest, this way please." The Bai clan Gu Masters showed a hypocritical smile, with a hint of unyieldingness.
Fang Yuan was brought back to the tent by these people.
In the tent, the lights were lit.
On the east and west sides, there were two beds. Bai Ning Bing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating and using her primeval essence to cleanse her aperture.
Hearing the sound of Fang Yuan entering, she opened her eyes and asked with her gaze.
Fang Yuan glanced at her before lying down on the bed: "Ning Bing, you should sleep early too. These days must have tired you out, not long later, you will be able to reunite with your clansmen. "
The more he spoke, the more confused he became. Towards the end, he had already closed his eyes and was breathing, as if he had fallen asleep.
Bai Ning Bing's pupils shrunk.
She knew Fang Yuan was putting on an act, purposely saying this to prevent any surveillance Gu worms. He had just gone out to relieve himself, but came back so quickly, it showed that this place was heavily guarded, it was impossible to sneak away at night.
Thinking of this, she could not help but worry.
Although she had rank three peak stage cultivation, her Gu worms were not good enough, causing her battle strength to be lacking.
In this camp, the Bai clan leader was a rank four Gu Master, there were also five to six rank three elders and large numbers of rank two Gu Masters.
'Meat on the chopping block' was the current situation. Although the Bai clan was a righteous faction, humans would die for wealth and birds would die for food. Once the benefits were huge, they would definitely kill them.
Bai Ning Bing knew that the Gu worms in Fang Yuan's hands were all top quality. Especially the heavenly essence treasure lotus and blood skull Gu, once they were exposed, it would definitely attract the greed of the Bai clan Gu Masters.
The reason why they did not make a move now was because Fang Yuan had used a tiger's skin, using the non-existent Guyue clansmen to temporarily deceive them.
If they did not see the Guyue clansmen in a few days, they would definitely be suspicious. By then, Fang and Bai would have no way out, and the situation would be very dangerous.
"How do I get out of this?" Bai Ning Bing frowned slightly, looking at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had already laid down with his back facing her. Listening to his breathing, it was calm and even, as if he was really asleep.
"You sure can keep your composure!" Bai Ning Bing snorted coldly, feeling slightly annoyed and helpless.
…
The next day.
The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.
With three drum beats, Bai clan leader gathered the clansmen.
"Our Bai clan's annual hunting competition will last for seven days from today onwards, it will be the time for you to display your strength. According to the rules, those who obtain a good ranking will be rewarded handsomely! Next, display your bravery to your heart's content. "
Bai clan leader waved her hand, and the village gate opened. The Gu Masters who were already itching for a fight immediately rushed out impatiently.
Not long after, they merged into the various mountain forests and disappeared without a trace.
The previously crowded camp immediately became spacious and empty.
"Nephew Fangzheng, did you sleep well last night?" Bai clan leader turned around and smiled at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan cupped his fists and bowed: "Many thanks to clan leader for your hospitality. I fell asleep the moment I laid down last night, and when I woke up, it was already morning. "
"Hahaha." Bai clan leader laughed, patting Fang Yuan's shoulder with an amiable attitude, "Nephew, do you want to participate in our clan's hunting competition? Let us see the heroic bearing of a Guyue man! "
Fang Yuan showed an awkward expression, declining: "I am ashamed! I was heavily injured not long ago, and my cultivation fell from Rank three. Fortunately, the clan healed me and saved my life, but now I am only Rank one middle stage. "
Actually, even without Fang Yuan's words, his Rank one aura was already obvious.
"Nephew doesn't need to worry about this. As our clan's esteemed guest, you will naturally receive preferential treatment. How about this, as long as nephew can hunt an adult black bear, this Green Copper Relic Gu will be your reward. " Bai clan leader lightly clapped her hands, and a Gu Master beside her opened his palm like he was presenting a treasure, and a finger-sized spherical Gu appeared in his palm.
Fang Yuan looked at this Gu and sneered in his heart, but his eyes revealed a fervent expression: "Then junior will respectfully accept." If you like this work, you are welcome to Yisou
