Chapter 272: Zhu Yan’s surname should be “Nangong”?
Chapter 272: Zhu Yan’s surname should be “Nangong”?
All the romantic stories that Zhu Yan had learned from books were thrown out of her mind when she faced Chu You, and she couldn't think of anything.
Lian Yelang felt that the relationship between the two was a little subtle, even a little ambiguous.
Zhu Yan, however, felt that his junior sister just didn't like him.
As a result, he managed not to utter a single word during the half-day journey to Qingqiu.
I don’t know whether I’m more angry at Chu You or at myself.
In the evening, their team finally arrived at the long-awaited Qingqiu.
It is located in the middle of an endless stretch of emerald green mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides. In the center is a huge fortress formed from the remains of the ancient demon fairy "Youxi".
The city covers a vast area, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of fox demons, while it is hidden in the dense forest and is not easily discovered.
The most core area is the "Temple of Ghost Bone", which is built by the bones of Youxi's heart. It is not only the power center of the city, but also a place where many treasures and secret books are stored. It is surrounded by tough ribs to form a natural barrier.
Only core members and important guests of the Qingqiu Fox Clan are qualified to enter the core area.
Surrounding the periphery are tree houses and cave-like dwellings that are scattered in an orderly manner. They are all built on the giant bones or embedded in the gaps between the bones. They blend perfectly with the natural environment and are both beautiful and stable.
The city is filled with all kinds of Ganoderma lucidum and exotic flowers. With the help of the spiritual power emitted by the remains of demon fairies, rare medicinal herbs and spiritual plants are cultivated, providing resources for the Qingqiu fox clan to practice.
As for the defense and attack systems, although the other party did not reveal them completely, Ye Lang also saw a few things. While they were reporting to the Qingqiu Fox Clan leader, he couldn't help but discuss it with Zhu Yan:
"Brother Zhu, when we came in just now, did we pass through a layer of naturally formed demonic power shield? I wonder how they supply this endless supply of demonic power?"
"It should be the bones of an ancient demon fairy, supported by the demonic power it continuously emanates."
As he spoke, Zhu Yan's overly slender fingers lightly touched one of the stone pillars made of bones, and his expression changed slightly:
"Such a powerful demonic power, even...immortal power?"
"Wow!"
Ye Lang hurried over to touch it, but was bounced away with a "bang". He fell to the ground without any warning, with a confused look on his face:
"Why can you, Brother Zhu, touch it, but I can't?"
Chu You also stretched out his hand curiously.
"Junior sister, little..."
Zhu Yan subconsciously expressed her concern, but halfway through her words, she realized that the other party had not been repelled at all. Just as she was wondering, Nangong Xu's extremely worried voice came from afar:
"Miss Chu, the remains of the ancient demon fairy cannot be touched casually, otherwise it will hurt..."
Nangong Xu had only said half of his words, but when he saw Chu You standing intact with one hand supporting a towering skeleton like a white jade pillar, he was shocked and speechless.
After a long time, Nangong Xu finally found his voice:
"How can this be?!"
"But what's wrong with that?"
Chu You slowly withdrew his hand, but in fact he still felt a little reluctant.
Because when she touched the bones, a continuous stream of demonic power automatically gathered into her body.
Zhu Yan felt the same way.
But this is someone else's territory, and it is someone else's treasure. Even if they are eager for strength, they will not do such a wicked thing.
The two of them glanced at each other quietly, then quickly looked away.
Nangong Xu then stammered and explained:
"This ancient demon immortal 'Youxi' is an ascended demon immortal from my Qingqiu Fox Clan. Thousands of years ago, when he was about to ascend to become a god, he encountered a great turmoil in the God Clan and fell. The reason why we Qingqiu brought back his remains is because only our Qingqiu Fox Clan can handle them.
Other races, even immortals, wanted to obtain its remains, but they had to give up because of this repulsive effect.
But Miss Chu, you are obviously a cat, why would you..."
Not to mention Nangong Xu didn't understand, Chu You didn't understand even more.
Yelang got up from the ground and shouted:
"Brother Zhu is also from the fox clan. Could it be that he is from the fox clan of your Qingqiu lineage?!"
"Master Ye, are you not aware of Brother Zhu's bloodline?"
Nangong Xu was quite confused.
Ye Lang was stunned, completely at a loss as to how to answer, and his eyes immediately flew towards Chu You.
Chu You was used to it, so he started talking:
“Zhu Yan and I were both picked up by Lord Ye when we were still young beasts.
There may have been some unrest in the clan at that time, but we were too young to remember it clearly, and Lord Ye didn't participate, so he wasn't very clear about it either.
Right?
Lord Ye? "
"Yes, yes, yes! That's right! That's right!"
Yelang didn't know how to respond except to say this.
Just when they thought everything was over, they heard a middle-aged male fox calling out from behind them, his voice trembling:
"Brother, are you back?"
Chu You and the other three turned around at the same time, looking at the majestic middle-aged male fox holding the scepter. They wondered who the "big brother" he was referring to was.
Nangong Zhao didn't expect the other party to be so excited, so he quickly calmed himself down and said:
“Chief, as I have reported to you before, Lord Ye has two companions.
This male fox companion bears a resemblance to our former clan leader, but he is not the former clan leader. You must have made a mistake."
"Impossible! How could I even admit my eldest brother's mistake!"
The leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan shook his head repeatedly and quickly walked up to Zhu Yan, frightening her so much that she took two steps back and bowed to him.
"Junior Zhu Yan greets the leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."
The Qingqiu Fox Clan leader was stunned, as if trying to digest the meaning of Zhu Yan's words:
"You said your last name is 'Zhu'? Not my last name 'Nangong'?"
Why does he have the surname Nangong?
Zhu Yan shook his head:
"Yes, my surname is Zhu."
The Qingqiu Fox Clan leader was still puzzled:
"Then why do you look exactly like my brother?
In terms of demeanor, he is about 50% similar to our clan leader!"
How does he look like the Qingqiu Patriarch?
These words flashed through everyone's mind at the same time.
Although Zhu Yan's height is comparable to that of the Qingqiu clan leader, Zhu Yan is tall and slender, while the Qingqiu clan leader is tall and mighty.
If it weren't for the red fox ears on his head and seven fiery red fox tails behind him, Chu You would have suspected that he was actually from the lion or bear tribe.
After all, it is rare for a fox to be so strong!
The next moment, the Qingqiu clan leader suddenly threw his scepter into the air, muttered a few words in animal language, and suddenly grabbed Zhu Yan's wrist:
"You'll find out whether you are my elder brother or not later!"
