The Great Elder felt better after hearing what Gong Chenying said, but his face stiffened for a moment, and then he smiled again.
The Second Elder was surprised, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal. No one knew what he was thinking.
"He saw the belly button ring..."
The handsome and elegant Third Elder had been surprised countless times today. He rarely lost his usual composure and blurted out, looking at Li Yan with strange eyes, as if saying.
"Is it such a coincidence? Is it such a coincidence... ? You don't know why, you... you did it on purpose, right?"
The powerful cultivation that Li Yan had shown before, now became a means for others to plot against Gong Chenying.
Li Yan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the Third Elder's beautiful eyes, but his face remained calm.
"Yes! However, at that time, Junior Brother's cultivation was only at the Qi Condensation Stage."
Gong Chenying's towering chest rose and fell, and she seemed to take a long breath. Her whole body instantly regained its coolness. She also noticed the gaze of the Third Elder, so she added another sentence.
"I was wondering why you have been so reluctant to give up even though there are so many outstanding talents in the clan. So this is the reason!"
The third elder nodded. The women of the Tianli tribe paid the most attention to the clan rules, especially the one about the "navel ring".
However, the Tianli tribe actually has strong objections to intermarriage with outsiders, as it would make them feel that the blood of their offspring in the future would be impure.
Especially Gong Chenying, her identity is even more special. She may take over the position of clan leader in the future. However, several of them are Yuanying old monsters, each of them has a deep mind, and they only think secretly in their hearts.
Gong Chenying should have never told the clan leader Gong Shanhe about this, otherwise, how come they didn't get any news about it.
Gong Shanhe once expressed his worry about Ah Ying's future Taoist partner in front of them, and that expression did not seem fake.
Although they were full of thoughts in their minds, none of them said anything. This Li Yan was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and was also acknowledged by Gong Chenying as his junior brother. Regardless of their previous strong fighting ability or the closeness between them, it would not be appropriate to speak now.
Therefore, for a moment, everyone felt that this matter needed to be discussed privately later.
"Junior brother, you can come here, it is also my promise. I hope he can come to help me when he has the strength..."
Afterwards, Gong Chenying briefly explained the reason why Li Yan came here.
As Li Yan listened, a light occasionally flashed in the depths of his eyes. He noticed that Gong Chenying stated the relationship between the two of them directly, but never mentioned the matter of "King Qing" afterwards.
"Is this related to the fact that I practiced the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique in advance? Ah Ying said that I could practice the first three levels in advance, but I would need to pass the test in the future.
If you fail the test, your cultivation of this technique will be abolished. It seems that it was a wise decision for me not to use the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique before. "
Li Yan's mind raced for a moment, but his face remained expressionless. However, he could not be sure of Gong Chenying's true thoughts for a moment.
Because, no matter before or after he put Gong Chenying into or took her out of the spirit storage bag, Gong Chenying never reminded him about the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", and it was only at this moment that he seemed to have deliberately ignored it.
Logically speaking, if Gong Chenying felt that the fact that he was practicing the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" could not be exposed for the time being, he should have reminded himself in time, or anxiously asked himself afterwards whether he had performed this technique.
Li Yan thought about this silently in his heart...
"This time, thanks to Fellow Daoist Li's timely action, the entire Tianli tribe is extremely grateful for this. Otherwise, today might have been the day our tribe would have broken into the city."
The great elder of the Tianli tribe stood up and bowed deeply to Li Yan with a sincere attitude. Seeing this, Li Yan also stood up quickly.
"This matter has passed. I wonder if you can tell me about the situation of the wind beasts here and the situation of the Tianli tribe. Although I am alone and weak, I will do my best to fulfill my promise to Sixth Senior Sister."
Li Yan also bowed in return.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I am really grateful to you for what happened before, but you know that we are enemies of the three wind beast tribes. If you help... it will not be a one-day thing.
Moreover, if you leave the Tianli tribe in the future, Ah Ying may not be able to go with you, as she shoulders more important responsibilities in the tribe..."
Just when Li Yan was asking the Great Elder, the Second Elder suddenly interrupted, and the meaning and tone of his words were not peaceful, which made Li Yan frown.
"Elder Miao, you've said too much! I'll say it again. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Li's intervention today, our city would have been destroyed and everyone would have died. Who on this continent would be willing to help us resist the wind beasts?"
A fierce look flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, and he couldn't help but shout.
The wind beasts in the Wind God Continent live in separate areas. They occupy a vast area. The Tianli people dare not go out to help others, and others also dare not come to help the Tianli people, lest the wind beasts take advantage of the opportunity to destroy their own nests.
In the final analysis, the overall strength of the cultivators in the Wind God Continent is not as good as that of the wind beasts. This also leads to the fact that there are very few Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators traveling outside the Wind God Continent. They usually just dare to stay at home honestly.
Even if one or two Nascent Soul cultivators appear occasionally, they will be the target of competition among various sects and families, and they all want to recruit them as guest officials.
Unfortunately, it is not easy for a casual cultivator to cultivate to the foundation-building stage, let alone the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if you want to recruit them with a large sum of money, few people will show up.
After hearing the first elder's scolding, the second elder stopped talking, but his expression when he looked at Li Yan was still the same, but with a hint of indifference.
At the same time, Li Yan also noticed that Gong Chenying's eyes looking at the second elder also began to turn cold. "Fellow Daoist Li, you want to know about the three wind beasts that besieged our clan. This is simple. Fellow Daoist Li has seen the three wind beasts today. They are named 'Wind Goose Beast', 'Wind Iron Beast', and 'Wind Elephant Beast'.
Among them, the 'Wind Goose Beast' race is the strongest. The one who fought against the Great Elder is called Yan San, and he is currently the strongest person among the three races..."
At this moment, a voice like a green warbler came from the side, and the third elder interrupted with a smile.
Her smile instantly made the entire attic seem like it was surrounded by blooming flowers. Suddenly, the awkward atmosphere that had just arisen disappeared in an instant...
Half an incense stick later, Gong Chenying took Li Yan and the two demons out of the attic, leaving only the great elder and three others in the attic.
"Elder Miao, you just lost your composure!!"
The Great Elder's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned gloomy.
"Great Elder, I suspect that he has already practiced the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, and his purpose in coming to our clan is not only to marry a beautiful woman, but also to covet the techniques behind it!"
The second elder stared at the direction where Li Yan left, with a faint gleam in his eyes and his tone not to be outdone.
"So what? As long as he hasn't practiced the fourth level and passed the 'King Qing's' assessment, it's in line with the clan rules!"
The Great Elder certainly knew what the Second Elder was thinking, and he was already dissatisfied.
“I suspect that man is not Ah Ying’s junior fellow apprentice. And what if Ah Ying was deceived by his sweet words and gave him the skills after the third level
I can sense the influence of my clan's skills in the physical strength he displayed today. Can three levels of skills destroy the body of a fourth-order 'Wind Elephant'
I don't need to explain this, I think you all know how much strength this requires!"
The Second Elder continued to speak slowly, and although his voice was still calm, his words were much more serious.
If Li Yan was not Gong Chenying's junior fellow apprentice but her elder, it is not impossible that Gong Chenying was deceived by love and helped him to tell a huge lie.
Then Li Yan must be harboring evil intentions. There are too many cases where cultivators use any means necessary to achieve their goals. It is not necessarily entirely wrong for the Second Elder to say such things.
Gong Chenying is not an ordinary Tianli cultivator. She is the strongest person of the current young generation and the hope of the next generation of the Tianli tribe.
Especially since there are so many young men and women in the Tianli tribe who follow Gong Chenying's lead, if she is deceived, it will be a huge blow to the subsequent development of the Tianli tribe.
"Oh, Elder Miao, our clan has more than one top-level body-refining technique in the world, and everyone knows that different paths lead to the same destination. Just because the auras burst out are slightly similar doesn't mean anything!"
At this moment, the third elder's voice sounded from the side, and she glanced at the second elder with some dissatisfaction.
“Hehehe…”
This time the second elder didn't say anything, but just laughed and looked noncommittal.
"We will discuss this matter with Ying in private after she recovers from her injuries. For the time being, we should save our energy to deal with the wind beasts!!
Otherwise, I don't mind quelling the civil unrest first. Anyway, I owe Li Yan today. Otherwise, we might not be able to sit here and chat.
Our Tianli people have always been grateful and repaying kindness, otherwise, we would not have been able to unite as one and continue to this day!"
There was a stern warning in the Great Elder's voice!
… …
In a courtyard, apart from an area separated by a fence, there is only an octagonal hanging tower.
Everything looks so simple, but the environment is quiet. There are no other courtyards within five miles around this fenced courtyard.
Since Li Yan arrived here a month ago, apart from the great elder who came once, no one else has disturbed him.
After Gong Chenying brought them here that day, he went back to retreat and heal his injuries.
On the way here, Gong Chenying also inquired about the situation of Zhao Min and the Wangling Sect. Li Yan looked at Gong Chenying, who was pale, and he just smiled slightly.
"Senior Sister Min has also returned to Xiaozhu Peak, and the rest of the people are all fine. I will tell you more about this after your injuries have healed."
Li Yan was worried about Gong Chenying's injuries. Matters concerning Lin Daqiao and others would definitely affect Gong Chenying's mood, so he simply covered it up.
Gong Chenying certainly had many questions in his mind, including why Li Yan and Zhao Min had been missing since they fell into the Yinmo Cliff.
Where did he come from now? But her injuries were serious. After listening to Li Yan's persuasion, she sent them here and left.
Li Yan and the two demons lived there temporarily. The entire hanging building had two floors, with training rooms, refining rooms, etc. fully equipped.
Li Yan didn't care about this at all. He came here to look for Gong Chenying. Now that Gong Chenying was fine, he felt relieved. He didn't care about other external things at all.
To be honest, now that he is here, Li Yan doesn’t care even if the wind beasts break through the Tianli tribe. Anyway, he can use his cultivation to protect Gong Chenying and ensure she leaves this place safely.
