857: Chapter 229: Cunning as an Old Fox_3 857: Chapter 229: Cunning as an Old Fox_3 Two Houdous already had dice fallen on their bodies—a sign that their treasures had not shattered.
With a sweep of Su He’s claw, a swirl of clouds gathered, taking back the remains of the seven Houdous.
Only then did she follow Yue Ci deeper inside.
Looking around, Su He thought, indeed it was the Undamaged Realm!
The last time she came, it was filled with members of the Bu Tian Clan; now, there were fewer than five thousand from the Tian Nu Clan.
Not even a trace of the Bu Tian Clan remained.
But where had that clan gone?
Were they erased from the long river of history, or had they left this place?
In fact, there was no need for Yue Ci to lead the way.
After tens of millions of years, this place hadn’t changed much.
Su He knew her ancestral lands well…
It was, after all, a forbidden area for the Bu Tian Clan during ancient times.
Beyond the forbidden lands, a region had been cordoned off, and that had become their current homeland.
The Tian Nu Clan truly possessed some abilities of the Bu Tian Clan, making their ancestral home’s construction extremely secretive.
They must have used a hiding technique similar to that of the Undamaged Realm’s, but the Undamaged Realm became visible due to its connection with the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky.
Their ancestral land, however, had yet to reveal itself.
Flying over the magma pools and passing through the Undamaged Realm, after gliding over a thick smoke, Su He felt as if a stream of water was gently flowing over her.
It was as if she had penetrated a thin membrane.
The scenery in front of her completely changed, as if she had entered another world.
While the outside world was disrupted by battle, here, birds sang and flowers bloomed.
Only the children, big and small, were clenched-jawed as they looked outside, some even taking to the skies in a stance ready to break out of there.
Upon seeing Yue Ci and the Dragon Turtle enter, the children wanted to rush up to ask questions, but a single glance from Yue Ci made them freeze in place, not daring to move forward.
“My apologies, fellow traveler, for the disturbance caused by the unruly children,” Yue Ci expressed her regrets with a bow.
Su He shook her head, “No matter, I also have children at home, and they are extremely mischievous as well.”
A smile formed on Yue Ci’s face, “When you are free in the future, it would be great to bring the children to play here, as there are many kids.
They won’t feel lonely.”
Despite facing a great calamity, the Clan Leader continued her cultivation and did not act like a delicate daughter in front of Su He.
Yet, in her speech and the depths of her eyes, an immense sorrow would flash by unintentionally.
Especially when seeing the young children.
It was unknown how many had lost their parents or still had complete families here.
Su He smiled and nodded, following the Clan Leader’s words, “Good!
I shall certainly take you up on that offer.”
Although it didn’t seem right to think about it at this time, this was the Tian Nu Clan.
If Ya Ya could get along well, bringing in a few people from the Tian Nu Clan to the Inner World would surely pave a smooth path for cultivation.
As they spoke, they arrived deep within the ancestral land, a place of picturesque mountains and clear waters that surpassed Long Moon Mansion in elegance.
Both the Bu Tian Clan and the Tian Nu Clan were unique in their environmental management.
“We’ve arrived!” Yue Ci gestured towards a waterfall in front of them, inviting Su He, “This place was where our ancestor cultivated in seclusion, the most serene location for our clan.
Please, fellow traveler, rest here for a moment.
Our ancestor will arrive shortly.”
Hosting a Dragon Turtle, especially one that had saved their clan, was beyond her status.
Only by having the ancestor come in person could they demonstrate the Tian Nu Clan’s sincerity.
Su He nodded, “You need not be so formal, my friend.
Right now, attending to internal affairs should be the priority.”
Yue Ci hesitated for a moment: “Then…”
“My friend, go about your business, it’s fine.
I can use this place to interrogate the Houdou,” Su He responded.
At such a time, a Clan Leader would be overwhelmed with countless matters and couldn’t afford to stay here.
Yue Ci’s eyes filled with gratitude, and she gave another bow to Su He, “If you need anything, fellow traveler, just send a message to me.
Whether small or big, you may commandeer any outside person at will!”
She bowed and exited, and as soon as she was thirty li away from where Su He was, she shot up into the sky and dashed outwards.
Su He looked around.
The pavilions and towers were designed for Human Cultivators and were unsuitable for her.
Finding an open space, she opened Taiyuan and tossed out a Houdou.
