Chapter 32 Rapid Journey to the Eastern Barbarians
Chapter 32 Rapid Journey to the Eastern Barbarians
"This is……"
Looking at the slimy rope binding Doctor Bai, Xuan Yi's face showed a look of recollection. "The Dongyi tribe's demon-binding rope, how did it end up here?"
Having lived for three thousand years, Xuan Yi naturally participated in that great war between immortals and demons, a war that was incredibly chaotic.
First, the Dongyi tribe joined forces with the Heavenly Court to fight against the Nanqiang. After destroying the Nanqiang, the Heavenly Court turned its attention to the Dongyi. One second they were allies, the next they were adversaries. The changes were too fast.
It was on that battlefield that Xuan Yi saw the demon-binding rope used by the Dongyi tribe, which was similar to the one used now.
The Demon-Binding Rope is a secret technique of the Dongyi tribe. It can be made into a talisman to carry and has the effect of binding and restraining cultivators. In addition, it also has the function of bewitching and hypnotizing. Xuan Yi did not expect to see it here.
"What are the Dongyi people doing at the temple? And why did they take Chen Xiaohu away?"
The Dongyi tribe had been silent for so many years, and now they were kidnapping children. Even with Xuan Yi's quick thinking, he couldn't figure out their purpose for a while.
Doctor Bai is unconscious and won't wake up anytime soon. Xuan Yi searched the island with his divine sense but found no trace of Chen Xiaohu. It seems that the other party has already taken Chen Xiaohu away from the island.
Xuan Yi's divine sense scan naturally alerted the other teachers on the island, who, along with the already sober Principal Grape Ancestor, rushed to Bao'an Hall.
"Xuan Yi, you..." Bao Zheng was about to scold Xuan Yi for misusing his divine sense and violating school rules when he entered and saw the chaos in the ward. He couldn't bother scolding him and hurriedly asked what had happened.
Grape Ancestor, who was drinking wine from a gourd, had a glint of light in his eyes when he heard that it was likely the Dongyi tribe that had taken the student named Chen Xiaohu away. But it vanished in an instant, as fast as an illusion.
Did the Grape Ancestor know Chen Xiaohu's true identity? Without a doubt, he did. Therefore, he was the only one among the crowd who had no doubts about the Dongyi people taking Chen Xiaohu away.
The capital of the Dongyi tribe is inside Chen Xiaohu's body. By rounding down, Chen Xiaohu is essentially the king of the Dongyi tribe.
Dr. Bai was still unconscious, and we couldn't get any answers. Fortunately, the school leaders of Shenxiang were not idle; they had plenty of methods and means.
It was just a matter of tracking, which was extremely easy. Just in case, the operation was led by Bao Zheng, Xuan Yi, and the Grape Ancestor, with Fang Xiu and the other two following along.
Originally, Bao Zheng did not plan to bring Fang Xiu and the others, but Fang Xiu persuaded him by saying that even if he did not bring them now, they would still come along later.
So a team consisting of three old men and three young men set off to retrieve Xiao Hu.
Come is "come", go is "go", nod is "yes", shake your head is "no", Dongyi Demon Realm gogogo!
Just as Fang Xiu and his group set off to retrieve Xiao Hu, Chen Xiao Hu suddenly woke up from his dream. He had dreamt of a blue-skinned man who looked fierce and menacing; the guy didn't look like a good person at all.
When Chen Xiaohu woke up, he found that he had two sons who looked very much like the blue-skinned man in his dream, and they even called him Dad.
Chen Xiaohu: ? ? ?
Since that's what people call him, Chen Xiaohu naturally accepted it. They said they wanted Xiaohu to go with them to Dongyi to see the Grand Elder, so Chen Xiaohu went.
Chen Xiaohu's journey to the territory of the Dongyi tribe was fraught with twists and turns.
First, they encountered the Divine Court Guard on the road and almost got into a fight with the fierce-looking guard.
Then he met a kind person who gave him food, but his son was extremely disgusted with it and refused to share the food with him.
On the way back from eating, he accidentally broke the seal and fought a demon lord called Juedi. With the help of a strange guy called Dongyi King, he defeated Juedi Demon Lord and also saved a guy named Lianxue Yaoji.
And so, Chen Xiaohu's group, which had grown from three to four, finally arrived at the Dongyi tribe.
Compared to Chen Xiaohu and his group, whose journey was fraught with twists and turns, Fang Xiu's side was much more relaxed, despite how tragic their original trip to Dongyi seemed.
In reality, it was nothing more than a large, crippled Dongyi tribe reduced to only the old, weak, and sick, plus a group of students who had only been enrolled for one semester and whose strongest were no more than mid-stage Jade Void cultivators, and a weakling from the Divine Court Guards at the ninth or even tenth level of Jade Void.
It doesn't sound nice, but that's the truth.
Look at the Divine Academy's team this time. Although the number of people is not large, they are elite. Now, do you think the Divine Court Guards dare to be arrogant in front of the Divine Academy? They've even raised their heads high.
Although he was still flying towards the Eastern Demon Realm, Fang Xiu's heart had already drifted elsewhere. Time was running out, and he needed to become stronger. Merely being a Jade Void cultivator was far from enough; at best, he would only be cannon fodder in the upcoming battles.
The transmigrator's foresight came in handy at this point. Although this foresight was mostly useless in this world, it could still provide some help occasionally.
The desolate wilderness and the island of arrival.
Both places possess treasures that can help one advance to the Pure Void realm. However, the Descent Island is a long way off. By the time the Descent Island truly arrives, Fang Xiu will have already advanced to the Pure Void realm through arduous cultivation.
So, it seems that only Shifang in the desolate wilderness is the only option. However, Shifang also harbors the soul of the Nightmare Ancestor, a Qingxu who is a traitor to the Dream God Clan, specializing in mental magic. Shifang is also the other party's home ground, and one could easily fall into a trap if one is not careful.
Should we take a gamble...?
For others, defeating Qingxu from the tenth level of Yuxu is an impossible feat, but for Fang Xiu, who possesses the blood of Luwu and is enhanced by sharing the Gray Mist Space, it is not entirely impossible.
However, Fang Xiu doesn't want to risk his life unless absolutely necessary.
While pondering, the Shenxiang Searching for Hu also followed Xiao Hu's trail and arrived at Pangu Mountain, where the Dongyi tribe lived in seclusion.
Such a large auspicious cloud was not blind to the Dongyi people, so of course they could see it. Soon, the Dongyi elder led his men out, and among the group of blue-skinned people, Chen Xiaohu stood out.
"You old scoundrel, Grape!"
"Pointy-eared monster!"
The Grand Elder of the Dongyi Clan was once a renowned great cultivator who had a past grudge against the Grape Ancestor. However, both of them are now in the same boat, having lost all their magical power.
However, the two still appeared to be at odds when they met.
"Pointy-eared monster, after all these years, why are you kidnapping my student?"
The Grape Ancestor pretended to be confused when he knew the truth, and instead questioned the Great Elder of the Eastern Barbarians.
"You old scoundrel, stop spouting nonsense! When did I ever kidnap your student? He clearly... clearly..."
"What do you mean, 'clearly'? Tell me!"
He picked up the gourd again and took a swig. Grape Ancestor chuckled. He knew the pointy-eared monster wouldn't tell.
The situation was beyond human control. The Great Elder of Dongyi knew that the Dongyi tribe was no longer the same as before, and that the old thief Grape and his companions had come at the wrong time. That was why he had told the King, Chen Xiaohu, about the Pangu Secret Chamber.
"What?! The Pangu Chamber!!"
Chen Xiaohu was quick to answer any question, and he could answer everything in just three sentences. Every cultivator present had exceptional hearing and observation skills, not to mention that Chen Xiaohu and his group were quite loud.
Upon hearing the name of Pangu's Secret Chamber, Xuan Yi, who had initially shown little interest, instantly perked up. After all, that was Pangu, a legendary deity!
