Under the guidance of the Winged Men Patriarch and Shaman Ou Yala, Longyi's group of six passed through the beautiful forest and arrived in front of a towering cliff covered with green grass and flowers. There was a huge altar at the bottom of the cliff. It was very similar to the Lightning God's Altar in the Lightning God Forbidden Area. The only difference was that the Lightning God's Altar was made of silver-purple boulders, while this altar was made of cyan boulders. A statue of the Wind God was erected on top of the altar.
Longyi looked around for a moment before raising his head to look at the cliff. He saw many oval-shaped caves on the cliff. Many heads were poking out of the caves and looking at Longyi's group with curious eyes.
"Patriarch, don't tell me that your Winged Men Clan lives in caves?" Long Yi asked.
"We, the Winged Clan, are the people of the wind. We are the ones who soar through the sky. Naturally, the higher the place we live in, the better. This is no ordinary cave. This is a pavilion in the sky," the Winged Clan Patriarch said heroically.
A pavilion in the sky? Longyi smiled strangely. Isn't it still a cave? It's just that it's taller.
Longyi's group followed the Winged Men Patriarch into the tallest and largest cave in the center. Only then did they discover that the distribution of these caves was actually orderly. It was quite similar to the shape of a pyramid. The higher one lived, the higher their status would be.
The inside of the cave wasn't as shabby as Longyi had imagined. The inside of the cave was decorated with jade and fragrant wood. There were also various colored magic lamps inlaid. It was quite unique. The ventilation in the cave was very good. The air was also very pure and quiet. It felt really good.
Longyi looked around. The facilities inside the cave were very elegant. Moreover, they were not cheap. They should have been purchased from outside. This also meant that the Winged Men Clan hadn't completely secluded themselves from the world. There should be spies outside.
"This must be the Patriarch's room. It's very grand," Long Yi praised.
"You flatter me. That …"
"Eh? The Earth Sword on the stone wall is actually the work of a Dwarf Clan Master, and the hilt is even made of Amethyst. Tsk tsk, Chief, your Winged Clan is really rich. "Longyi interrupted the Chief's words and looked at the sword hanging on the opposite wall in amazement.
"These are all passed down by our ancestors. Our Winged Clan has always been self-sufficient for the past several thousand years. We don't have any concept of money." The patriarch suppressed the displeasure in his heart and forced a smile.
"Patriarch is indeed extraordinary. Money is like dirt to the Winged Clan, but it's a good thing for us ordinary people. It just so happens that I … I'm a little tight on money recently. I'm sure the patriarch knows that I have a lot of women. Even if it's marriage rouge and pollen, it's still a huge expense. Why don't you help us a little? " Longyi said arrogantly. His pretentious expression almost made the women behind him laugh out loud. Wu Shuang and Bull were the clearest about Longyi's net worth. This fellow had swept through the Holy City's City Lord's Mansion. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that his wealth was comparable to a nation's.
Ou Yala looked at Longyi who was acting like a rascal and couldn't help but feel a headache. However, she also found it funny. As for the Winged Clan's patriarch, his old face began to twitch.
"Young Master Ximen, if you need anything, this patriarch will definitely not be stingy. It's just that … "Although the Winged Clan's patriarch was filled with hatred in his heart, he still endured it on the surface.
"If that's the case, many thanks, Patriarch. I think the Winged Clan's ancestors must have accumulated a lot of wealth. However, I definitely won't ask for too much. Otherwise, it would make me look too tasteless. Just give me one million amethyst coins," Longyi said with a mischievous smile.
One million amethyst coins? Before the Winged Clan's patriarch could say anything, the elders beside him jumped up and glared at Longyi fiercely. This kid actually dared to open his mouth. One million amethyst coins was equivalent to one billion gold coins. That was one billion gold coins!
"Young Master Ximen, I am only speaking kindly to you because you are a guest. If you deliberately make things difficult for me, you will only bring disgrace upon yourself. You must give me an explanation for the matter regarding our Winged Clan's sacred object." The Winged Clan's patriarch's gentle expression disappeared and was replaced by a sharp killing intent.
"Oh, you finally stopped pretending. You should have done this long ago. You made me tired." Longyi sneered and looked at the Winged Clan's patriarch with disdain.
"Young Master Ximen, don't go too far." Ou Yala reprimanded. This was their territory. Even if Longyi was powerful, it was impossible for him to contend against the entire Winged Clan.
"Go too far? How can that be? This Young Master has always known propriety, how other people treat me, I will treat others the same way. "Long Yi crossed one leg over the other, then picking up the teacup, he leisurely took a sip.
"Don't tell me that we are not courteous enough to you? You are the ones who don't know what's good for you and deliberately make things difficult for us. "Ou Yala said angrily.
A trace of a cold smile appeared on Longyi's face as he said, "Courteous enough? You are indeed courteous enough. This room is surrounded by experts of your clan. Moreover, a powerful barrier has been set up in this room. If my guess is correct, there is also a powerful mechanism. Beautiful Miss Shaman, is this also called courteous? "
Ou Yala looked at the patriarch in surprise. When she saw that the patriarch didn't refute, she knew that what Longyi said was true.
"Patriarch, we can talk with him. There is no need to do this." Ou Yala anxiously said to the patriarch. Although she didn't think that Longyi had the strength to contend against the entire Winged Clan, the people around him weren't simple. If a cornered dog jumps over a wall, both sides might suffer. This was something she didn't want to see. Moreover, the reason why Longyi had come here was because he had taken the initiative to crush the signal pearl she had given him. This proved that he was very sincere in coming here to solve the problem.
"There is no need for that. The Winged Clan's Sacred Relic belongs to my clan. He has to hand it over whether he wants to or not." Seeing that Longyi had seen through his act, the patriarch of the Winged Clan no longer put on an act.
Long Yi smirked and didn't have any fear on his face. The people behind him were also the same. All of them had a pondering expression on their face. The things they had experienced and the dangers they had encountered were things they didn't even dare to imagine, but they were still alive. In this world, what else could they be afraid of?
When Ou Yala saw the expressions of Longyi and the others, her heart started to pound. If they didn't have absolute confidence, how could they be so calm? Could it be that they were forcing themselves to be calm? However, if it was only Longyi, it would be fine. But now, all of them were so calm. It was as if they were watching a play. How could she not be worried? Perhaps, they still have a trump card that they haven't used yet.

"The Winged Clan's Sacred Relic? Hehe, are you talking about the Wind God's Spirit Tablet? The Wind God's Spirit Tablet naturally belongs to the Wind God. Do you think that you are the Wind God? "The corner of Longyi's mouth curved into a mocking smile. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned back comfortably on the chair.
The expressions of the Winged Clan Patriarch, the elders, and Ou Yala changed. They hadn't expected that Longyi would know about the Wind God's Spirit Tablet. However, why did he walk right into the trap?
"Our Winged Clan is the most loyal believer of the Wind God. The Wind God's Spirit Tablet should be kept by us," the Winged Clan Patriarch said.
"What a joke. According to you, whoever is a believer of the Wind God has the right to keep the Wind God's Spirit Tablet? If I say that I am also a believer of the Wind God, then wouldn't it be natural for the Wind God's Spirit Tablet to be kept by me? "Longyi said with a mischievous smile.
At this time, one of the elders of the Winged Clan stood up and said, "The Wind God will bestow the power of the wind to her believer. Do you have it?" As the elder spoke, he flipped his hand and hurriedly chanted a string of incantations. A miniature tornado spun in his palm and dissipated after a few seconds.
"Oh, I learned this power when I was still in my mother's womb. Tornado, right? It's very simple. " Long Yi mischievously smiled, then waving his big hand, he didn't even need to chant incantation, a gust of gale suddenly rose inside this cave, and a large tornado instantly formed. All the ornaments, accessories, teacups, teapots, and even chairs and tables inside this cave were sucked in by this tornado which appeared out of nowhere. If it was not for the fact that everyone present was a powerful expert, then they might have been sucked in and crushed.
Along with the snap of Long Yi's finger, that tornado instantly disappeared, and all the things that were sucked in suddenly fell from the air, and the entire cave was already in a mess.
"Ah, I'm really sorry. I didn't control it properly. Please forgive me," Longyi said. However, the smile on his face clearly showed that he had done it on purpose.
"How can you use wind magic?" Ou Yala was shocked once again. Only their Winged Clan could use wind magic. However, he didn't even need to chant an incantation to cast a large tornado. How could she not be shocked?
"Of course, it's the power bestowed upon me by the Wind God. I learned it when I was still in my mother's womb." Longyi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
The patriarch and the elders looked at each other in blank dismay. This guy was even more proficient in using wind magic than them. Could it be that the power bestowed upon him by the Wind God?
"Patriarch, elders, and beautiful Shaman lady, I think we should sit down and have a good talk. Isn't harmony the most precious? Don't provoke the Wind God. You don't know how terrifying the Wind God's temper is. "Longyi said with a mischievous smile.
"Young Master Ximen, we have nothing to talk about. Your words are extremely childish. Do you think we will believe you? You must return the Wind God spirit tablet to us. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave this cave. " The Winged Clan's patriarch didn't care about anything else. His goal was the Wind God spirit tablet. He was absolutely unwilling to let the thing that belonged to him fall into the hands of others.
"Wait, Patriarch, let me ask him another question." Ou Yala said anxiously. Then, she turned to look at Longyi and asked, "From your words, it seems you are very familiar with the Wind God. May I know what is the relationship between you and the Wind God?" Ou Yala's question was reasonable. She was a Shaman of the Winged Clan. She worshipped the Wind God. If Longyi really had a relationship with the Wind God, wouldn't that be blasphemy against the Wind God?
