Following the Tian Peng Clan's group, Yao Yu and the others sat on the transport ship and directly entered the Tian Peng Clan's territory. The ship flew for several days before stopping.
After disembarking from the ship, the clansmen welcomed them into the Tian Peng Clan's ancestral hall. Under the guidance of Yao Yu and the others, Jiang Liuli's group of five fox girls was led to another place.
Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao were directly led to the entrance of the ancestral hall. Yao Yu then turned around and respectfully said, "Seniors, please enter. Our clan's grand elder has been waiting for a long time."
"It's our fault for making the Tian Peng Clan's grand elder wait for so long. Many thanks to little friend Yao Yu for reminding us. We'll go in now." The one who spoke was Xiong Erbao. At this moment, his words were spoken appropriately. He was completely different from his previous carefree self.
On the way here, Yi Tian had also reminded him not to argue and speak more. It was better to let him handle everything. If they really encountered a problem, the two of them should discuss it privately through sound transmission.
When Yi Tian was about to step into the main hall, he heard a sound transmission in his ear, "See you in half a day at the Tian Peng Clan's patrol warehouse."
He understood in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He only slightly nodded. Presumably, his actions would be seen.
After the two of them stepped into the main hall, they saw that the interior was dimly lit. Following the light, they saw an old man in his sixties sitting in the depths of the main hall. In front of him was a lit oil lamp. The light from the lamp could only cover a radius of one zhang.
Xiong Erbao took the lead and walked forward. He cupped his hands and said to the old man sitting on the ground, "Iron-Eating Beast Clan's Xiong Erbao and my human friend Yi Tian greet the Tian Peng Clan's grand elder."
"Both of you are guests from afar. There's no need to stand on ceremony. Please take a seat. This old man, Xia Lingkun of the Tian Peng Clan, greets you." The Tian Peng Clan's grand elder cupped his hands and returned the greeting.
Soon after, the two of them each found an empty seat in front of Xia Lingkun and sat down. Yi Tian's gaze swept past him and discovered that the demonic beast characteristics on this grand elder had practically disappeared. The demonic aura around his body was also subtly restrained. At first glance, he looked exactly like a human spirit cultivator.
To be able to cultivate to such a level, Xia Lingkun's strength was at least at the peak of Level 9. In comparison, his strength was 30% stronger than the qilin son he had met in the Spirit Realm.
It seemed like only his Senior Martial Brother Ji Xuanyuan from the Lihuo Palace in the Spirit World could suppress him.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for lending a helping hand this time. That way, Nephew Jiang wouldn't have been trapped in the Thunder Python Clan's territory." Xia Lingkun thanked them first.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, please don't take offense. This time, we encountered Nephew Jiang by accident. Moreover, she also promised to use two drops of Jade Origin Water as the price for my help. It can only be considered a transaction, "Xiong Erbao said with an ashamed expression.
"It's fine, it's fine. Nephew Jiang is a great disciple of the Nine Immortal Mountain. It's only natural that the Thunder Python Clan would spy on him. I thank the two of you for driving away the Thunder Python and protecting Nephew Jiang and my Tian Peng Clan. "After Xia Lingkun finished speaking, he turned around and sized up Yi Tian.
Then, he asked, "May I know where you two Fellow Daoists are going next?" His words were directed at Xiong Erbao, but his gaze was completely locked onto Yi Tian. It was likely that he had long realized who was the one in charge.
Before Xiong Erbao could speak, Yi Tian gently waved his hand and said, "We still have important matters to attend to and need to rush back to the Iron-Eating Beast Clan. If Fellow Daoist Xia doesn't have any other matters, we'd like to set off as soon as possible."
Yi Tian faintly sensed that something was amiss when Yi Tian's words stopped him from saying anything else. Ever since he entered the hall, Xia Lingkun's gaze had never left him. Could it be that he had his eyes on him?
Xia Lingkun explained, "Brother Yi, you've misunderstood. I just feel that your aura is very similar to that of the Fire Wind Clan. I believe Fellow Daoist should have a deep connection with the divination."
He didn't expect Xia Lingkun to be so perceptive. He really did have the Purple Flame Wind Lightning Fan refined from Meng Xin's tail feather. He had kept this treasure in his Niwan Palace for several hundred years, but he didn't expect Xia Lingkun to be able to see through it.
At this point, Yi Tian knew that there was no point in trying to explain. Xia Lingkun definitely had a secret technique of the Tian Peng Clan. Thus, he openly admitted, "I do have some connections with the Fire Wind Clan. May I know what Fellow Daoist Xia is thinking about?"
Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well take advantage of the situation and see what Xia Lingkun was planning to do.
Xia Lingkun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but it just so happens that the Demon Realm is experiencing a great beast tide in the past 10,000 years, so I want to form a good relationship. When the time comes, we can take care of each other."
Xiong Erbao, who was sitting to the side, asked, "Has the latest beast tide begun?"
Xia Lingkun smiled and said, "Although Fellow Daoist Xiong isn't young, he shouldn't have experienced a great beast tide. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this."
Yi Tian immediately understood. Although Xiong Erbao was over 15,000 years old, he had spent most of his time locked in the Demon Realm's abyss. Naturally, he didn't know about this great beast tide, or it could be said that he hadn't experienced it before. Xia Lingkun only said this because he had seen through the situation. After thinking about it, he asked, "We don't know much about this, so I hope Fellow Daoist Xia can explain."
Xia Lingkun nodded and said, "There are still many areas in the Demon Realm that haven't been explored yet. Among them, the Black Dragon Lair is the most secretive. It is also the place where Sir Demon God killed the Black Dragon King tens of thousands of years ago. After the death of the Black Dragon King, the blood that flowed out of his body polluted the surrounding 10,000 miles of the Black Dragon Lair. The death aura emitted from his body formed a blood fog area within a thousand miles of the Black Dragon Lair, which organized a large number of Demon Clans to explore. "
Yi Tian thought for a while before asking, "Then the source of the great beast tide that Fellow Daoist Xia mentioned should be here, right?"
"Yes, so this time the Fire Phoenix and Qing Luan clans are going to send people in to investigate and see if they can find the source and completely eradicate it." Xia Lingkun explained.
"So Fellow Daoist wants to ask for our help?" Yi Tian asked.
"That is indeed the case. Tens of thousands of years ago, we Demon Clans have already tried. It seems that the blood fog can affect the minds of Demon Clans and make them lose themselves. They can even attack their own clans indiscriminately after going crazy." Xia Lingkun explained, "But this blood fog has little effect on other clans other than Demon Clans. That's why I said this, but I still want to see Brother Yi's opinion."
"From the looks of it, the Demon Realm isn't peaceful either. I reckon that the Great Beast Tide has deeply affected the various clans in the Demon Realm. That's why they're doing this." Yi Tian said, "I wonder what the other clans are thinking?"
"The Nine Immortal Mountain naturally fully supports this, and they are also the ones who took the lead. It is said that this time, they even specially found help from other realms to deal with this matter. It's just that the Fire Dragon Clan is a bit unpredictable. "Xia Lingkun said.
