Chapter 494: The Fire Clan
Judging from the information Ye Changsheng has, the Mulan Holy Bird should be trapped somewhere and unable to escape, just as the Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan said.
But at least her life is not in danger for the time being, otherwise she would not be able to send her clone to the human world.
But the fact that there are no problems now does not mean that there will be no problems in the future. It is very likely that the Mulan Holy Bird was eventually killed by the Mahayana monk named Yi from the Five Lights Clan, or was made into a magic weapon.
As for this old senior who had helped him a lot in the human world, if Ye Changsheng becomes powerful in the future, he would not mind helping Mulan Shengqin.
But now, he didn't want to get involved in the other party's affairs, and today he was just asking around.
Even though he has heard the whereabouts of the Mulan Holy Bird, he has no intention of looking for this combined demon king.
Ye Changsheng smiled and passed over the topic, as if he had just asked the question on a whim, and had no intention of delving into the matter with the great elder of the Five Lights Clan.
The Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan had no doubts about this, and the topic of their conversation quickly shifted to other places.
After all, in his opinion, it was normal for Ye Changsheng to ask such a question.
The human race and the demon race are allies after all, so it is not surprising that Ye Changsheng wants to know something about the demon race.
After the two chatted for several hours, footsteps were heard downstairs, followed by the people sent by the Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan to get the spirit stones.
Four or five storage instruments were placed in front of the two men. The Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan said with a smile, "Among the spirit stones I can mobilize, many are low-level and mid-level spirit stones. I hope Brother Ye will not be offended!"
"If I have to pay with top-grade and high-level spirit stones, I can't afford that much!"
"Haha, it's okay, I can understand Brother Hua's difficulties!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Then he picked up the storage instruments and said to the Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan: "I have some important things to do, so I won't bother Brother Hua this time!"
The Holy Leader of the Five Lights Clan felt a little regretful upon hearing this. He still wanted to keep Ye Changsheng in the Five Lights Clan and chat with him for a while longer.
It is definitely not a bad thing for him to make friends with such a person.
"Since Brother Ye has something to do, then go and get busy. If Brother Ye has free time in the future, you are welcome to visit our Five Lights Clan at any time!"
Ye Changsheng nodded, and then said goodbye to the unusually enthusiastic Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan.
After he left, the man said with a look of regret, "It has been such a long time since I last saw him. His cultivation has advanced again. I wonder how far he will have advanced when we meet again!"
"Master, the Great Elder just sent us a message that Saint Master Fei died for no reason and his whereabouts are unknown now. No one knows who killed him. The Great Elder asked you to be careful when traveling!" A voice sounded from outside the door.
"What? Brother Fei is dead?" When the Holy Leader of the Five Lights Clan heard the news, his expression suddenly changed. The trace of joy on his face due to the fruitful transaction with Ye Changsheng disappeared at this moment.
A look of surprise and disbelief emerged from his eyes.
"Yes, Saint Lord Fei seems to have been murdered. The elders are now investigating. It is said that it may be related to that traitor!" The voice outside sounded again.
"Is it him? That's not surprising!" Upon hearing this, the surprise on the face of the Holy Lord of the Five Lights Clan gradually disappeared, and he fell into deep thought.
…
After leaving the Wuguan tribe, Ye Changsheng immediately went to the Jiuyue tribe’s territory.
The Feiling clan's long-distance teleportation array was set up in this clan. As the strongest clan in the Feiling clan, the Jiuyue clan has the most resources and the most powerful people in the Feiling clan.
After revealing his identity, Ye Changsheng was unsurprisingly warmly welcomed by the Jiuyue tribe. An elder of the fusion stage came forward in person and led him to the hall where the teleportation array was located.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, according to Senior Yue's instructions, we can open this teleportation array for you , but you need to pay the corresponding teleportation fee!" said the white-haired fusion elder with a smile.
"How many spirit stones?" Ye Changsheng asked calmly.
"Only 100 million spirit stones are needed!" said the elder of the Jiuyue tribe with a kind smile on his face.
Ye Changsheng was not surprised to hear this number. When Miaoyu was in Yubi City, she used the long-distance teleportation array there to teleport to the vicinity of the human race, which also cost more than 100 million spirit stones.
If it weren't for the combined cultivator from the Shengyuan clan who helped Miaoyu to get the spirit stone, the spirit stones Miaoyu had on her at the time might not have been enough to pay for the teleportation fee.
The price charged by the Jiuyue tribe to him should be a normal price.
It seems that these guys are very realistic. Although you are a distinguished guest of the Feiling tribe, you should pay the full amount of money.
"The long-distance teleportation array here requires 100 million spirit stones. I guess the cross-continental teleportation array of the ancient Li tribe must cost at least 1 billion spirit stones, right?"
“No wonder Han Li in the original novel paid such a huge price in order to borrow the cross-continental teleportation array of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans and did so many things for them!” Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
In the original novel, if it weren't for the Mahayana monk named Weng who intervened, Han Li might not have been able to raise enough money to borrow the cross-continental teleportation array of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans.
This cross-continental teleportation array is truly extremely energy-consuming.
"It seems that this time when I go to the Guli tribe, I have to find a way to earn more spirit stones!"
"Pills, materials, magic treasures, etc., I need to copy and prepare more!" All kinds of thoughts arose in Ye Changsheng's mind.
The total amount of spirit stones he has on him now is 1.72 billion, which is enough for both the current long-distance teleportation array and the cross-continental teleportation array to be used in the future.
But after using up the teleportation array, he didn't have much left. A mere few hundred million spirit stones were not enough for either cultivating gold-eating bugs or for his practice.
Therefore, he must make some money from the ancient Li people.
A storage bracelet appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand. He handed it to the Nine Yue Clan's combined cultivator and said, "There are 100 million spirit stones in it. Please keep it, senior!"
The Nine Yue Clan fusion cultivator took the storage bracelet, put it away without even looking at it, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please stand on the teleportation array!"
Ye Changsheng nodded when he heard this and walked towards the center of the hall in front.
On the floor of the hall, there are densely packed runes engraved, which looks extremely complicated.
When he stood in the center, the combined cultivator of the Jiuyue tribe gave an order, and immediately several Jiuyue tribe cultivators who had been waiting in the hall came forward and inlaid pieces of top-grade spirit stones in some empty spaces on the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, see you later!" The combined elder of the Jiuyue tribe bowed and said to Ye Changsheng.
Then, he gave an order, and suddenly a white light shot up from the ground. In the white light, Ye Changsheng's figure quickly blurred and disappeared.
…
There is a very vast territory in the southern part of Fengyuan Continent, and in this vast territory, there are nearly hundreds of millions of volcanoes densely distributed.
This is an unimaginably large group of volcanoes, whose periphery is shrouded in extremely hot gray fog all year round.
Anyone who approaches this group of volcanoes will be blocked by the gray fog. Generally speaking, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage may die from the fire poison if he enters the gray fog without permission.
Only cultivators above the level of Divine Transformation can attempt to pass through the gray fog and truly enter the volcanic group.
But even so, there are very few cultivators above the level of Spirit Transformation who dare to enter the volcano group without permission, even though there are a large number of precious spiritual medicines growing there, as well as many rare minerals that can only be found here.
This is because this group of volcanoes is occupied by the Gu Li tribe, one of the few large tribes in Fengyuan Continent.
This volcano and gray fog are the natural protection for the ancient Li ethnic group's territory. At the same time, there are also ancient Li patrol teams patrolling the border areas all year round.
Therefore, if you break in without permission, you are likely to be caught by these patrols.
Although the ancient Li people are a large tribe that is relatively friendly to foreigners, if you enter their territory without their permission, they will not be polite to you at all.
You are lucky to be executed.
The only way to enter the ancient Li ethnic group’s territory from the outside world is to go through several fixed passages.
All of these passages are guarded by numerous checkpoints, which are filled with heavy troops and countless powerful men.
If foreigners want to capture these important passes, it would cost a huge price.
After all, in this special volcanic terrain, anyone facing a cultivator of the same level from the ancient Li tribe would be a little weaker in strength.
The ancient Li people are well-known in the spiritual world for their expertise in the art of controlling fire, and their fire powers are earth-shattering.
On the road leading to the Holy Fire City, the largest city of the ancient Li people, there are dozens of strong passes and huge passes, where tens of millions of ancient Li warriors are stationed.
Any foreigner walking on this road would not dare to act rashly after seeing these murderous soldiers.
Ye Changsheng followed the crowd and headed towards the last checkpoint on the road to Holy Fire City. Feeling the increasingly hot temperature around him, he couldn't help but frown.
Even though the ancient Li people are very friendly to outsiders, the environment in which they live means that even if outsiders want to stay among them, they cannot stay for long.
Under such high temperatures, many monks simply cannot stay there for a long time, otherwise it will probably cause considerable damage to their practice.
However, although he felt uncomfortable, the fire of spirit in his body suddenly became active, and it seemed to want to come out in joy.
If Ye Changsheng had not been worried that this fire would cause some trouble among the ancient Li tribe and ordered it to stay in his body, this fairy fire would probably have rushed out and roamed freely around.
"We are finally approaching Holy Fire City. It is said that this huge city is definitely one of the best in the entire Fengyuan Continent. Today I can finally see it for myself!"
A voice sounded not far from Ye Changsheng. Ye Changsheng turned around and saw that the person who spoke was a monster with a bird's head and a human body.
On the bird's head, a few clusters of bright red feathers stood up high, floating like burning flames.
It was unknown what race this person was from. His cultivation seemed to be in the late stage of the Refinement Realm, and his whole body was glowing with red light.
It seems that he is quite comfortable in such an environment, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
"A creature with fire attributes, and there seems to be some blood of the Heavenly Phoenix in its body. It looks like some kind of phoenix creature!" Ye Changsheng thought secretly in his heart after taking a look at the other party.
Beside him were two short men with extremely long arms and dark green skin. Their faces looked extremely similar.
After hearing what the bird-headed creature said, one of the men laughed and said, "Where are you from, brother? Are you also here to participate in the ancient Li people's thousand-year-old water and fire festival?"
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you're joking. With my level of cultivation, how can I be qualified to participate in the Water and Fire Festival? I'm just here to join in the fun!" The man with a bird's head and a human body shook his head repeatedly.
"With your cultivation level, how can you be unqualified? Moreover, I can feel that your bloodline is extraordinary . Obviously, your magical powers are extremely strong. Maybe you can really be selected by the ancient Li tribe to participate in the Water and Fire Conference!" said with a smile the green-skinned man who spoke first.
"Fellow Daoist, you overestimate me. Besides, I, like the Gu Li people, am a race that belongs to the realm of fire. I'm afraid I have no qualifications to participate in the Water and Fire Conference at all!" The bird-headed man immediately waved his hand and said.
The two green-skinned men glanced at him, and one of them chuckled and said, "That's true. What a pity! I thought I could have a fight with you in the future!"
"Yes, we brothers clearly feel that Brother Dao's strength is extraordinary!"
As the two of them said this, their eyes unconsciously looked towards Ye Changsheng.
"The two fellow Taoists from the Green-skinned Clan are the ones who truly want to participate in the Water and Fire Conference, right?" the bird-headed man asked in return.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you guessed right. We brothers do want to give it a try to see if qualified to gain the favor of the ancient Li people!" said one of the two green-skinned men.
These two people seem to be a pair of brothers, and their strength seems to have reached the peak of the Refinement Realm.
They are considered to be the most powerful among Ye Changsheng's group. When they heard the two brothers say these words, some people around them immediately looked at them with fear.
It seemed as if anyone who dared to participate in this water and fire conference was some kind of extraordinary being.
While the two green-skinned men were talking to the bird-headed man, they kept looking at Ye Changsheng.
At the end, as if they couldn't help themselves anymore, one of them quickly walked forward a few steps, came to Ye Changsheng's side, suddenly smiled, and asked softly:
"May I ask what ethnic group you are from, fellow Taoist? It's very rare to see someone like you!"
Ye Changsheng turned his head and glanced at the other person calmly, saying, "I am just from a small and unknown family. I have nothing to say. Even if I say it, you may not have heard of it!"
"Oh, that's really interesting. A small tribe can actually cultivate a strong man like you!" said the green-skinned man with surprise in his eyes.
