Li Yan and Hong Yin stood in the air, and they unexpectedly saw two familiar people, the first elder and the fifth elder.
Both of them looked as if they had lost a lot of energy and blood, and the fifth elder even looked weak.
A few short years were not enough for their injuries to fully recover, especially since they had used secret techniques repeatedly in order to kill the enemy and escape from "Qionglin Gate", which further damaged their fundamental energy.
However, unlike Gong Shanhe and Li Yan who had broken limbs and injured organs, the two of them recovered quickly relying on their own strength and with the help of elixirs.
The two men saw Li Yan holding the clan's token, standing in the air and looking at the cultivators patrolling around.
First, the Great Elder smiled at Li Yan, then he spoke a few simple words to him and flew towards Gong Shanhe.
The fifth elder just stood by at first, keeping silent, until the first elder gave him a meaningful look, then the fifth elder suddenly stepped forward.
With many tribesmen watching nearby, he clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and a slight red tint appeared in his eyes.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Daoist Li!"
Although he had been recuperating in seclusion over the past few years, the thought of the Second Elder self-destructing as soon as he saw that things were not going well made him feel uneasy. He was filled with endless regret, hatred and self-blame.
The hatred is of course the overwhelming indignation towards the "Qionglin Gate", and the self-blame is the regret for his momentary impulsive behavior.
Under such circumstances, even during his retreat, he would check for various news from the outside world every once in a while to see how the clan would deal with the matter in the future, which made his injuries recover very slowly.
In fact, in his heart, he hoped that the clan would severely punish him. After all, it was under his instigation that the hesitant Second Elder was moved.
But what he waited for was the angry attack of the Great Elder, including the news that he almost died. This made the Fifth Elder even more regretful, and he finally understood the Great Elder's heart, and he would do anything for a tribe.
But his injuries had not healed yet, and even if he wanted to take the blame, the Fourth Elder would not allow it. Could he be forced to be punished again
A few years later, the Fifth Elder received news from the Fourth Elder that Li Yan had come out of retreat! Afterwards, Gong Shanhe and Li Yan decided to attack the "Qionglin Sect" again, which made the Fifth Elder silent for a long time.
The two of them are only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They are stronger than normal people of the same level, but the "Qionglin Sect" has two great cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
The great elders all returned empty-handed, so if they go forward like this, they would undoubtedly be like moths flying into a flame. The Tianli tribe really has no stronger force that can be mobilized.
What he couldn't understand the most was why Li Yan would go there. This was clearly a life-threatening situation, or even a suicide mission.
If the other party wanted the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, there would be no problem with the sealing over the years. He could basically get it, and it was heard that the wedding would be held in the next few years...
All of this made him confused. What was Li Yan doing
Yesterday, when the Fourth Elder came to him again in person, he told him another thing, something that kept him in a trance the whole night.
Gong Shanhe and Li Yan came back, and not only severely damaged the island master of "Qionglin Gate", leaving him with only his Nascent Soul, but also made him probably never again be a late-stage great cultivator in the future.
And he also brought back the body of the Three Island Masters, as well as his Nascent Soul...
When the half-day-long ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was over, the unrest in many branches quickly disappeared under a silent force.
Although many people did not know what happened, those who were chosen to enter the ancestral land kept their mouths shut. But after they came out, they began to take action, allowing many people to vaguely guess some of the reasons.
Not long after, the Tianli tribe once again felt unprecedented cohesion since the disappearance of the high priest.
The cultivators of the Miao clan, like the second elder, have regained their trust in Gong Shanhe. The fourth and fifth elders also showed their obedience to Gong Shanhe at this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
At the same time, Li Yan's name was once again secretly circulated among the entire Tianli tribe. Those who knew the inside story admired Li Yan even more!
But this is only when they don't know the process of the attack, which is what Li Yan doesn't want Gong Shanhe to say.
Moreover, Gong Shanhe could not explain in detail. The more he talked, the more information would be leaked. He also did not want Li Yan to become a thorn in the side of "Qionglinmen". Both of them were thinking about each other.
On the second day after the celestial sacrifice, Gong Shanhe's voice resounded throughout the Tianli tribe. He announced that a ceremony to "celebrate King Ah's entry into the palace" would be held on the "Wind God Day" of the Wind God Continent the year after next.
Several elders in the tribe unanimously decided that the entry ceremony of this generation's "King Qing'a" into the palace will be held grandly, so all the tribes and sects that have dealings with the Tianli tribe will be notified.
In the past, celebrations like this might have been held only within the clan, but now, Li Yan has made so many contributions to the Tianli clan, and Yan San and the others will no longer intercept and kill the monks who come to celebrate.
In this case, some sects that have good relations with the Tianli tribe can send monks here.
Even so, the time the Tianli tribe took to prepare was somewhat hasty.
They had to spend a lot of resources again to send people out to deliver messages. It was still easy for nearby messages, but for long distance messages, they still had to use teleportation.
After they asked Li Yan for some opinions, Li Yan also told them to invite Master Xuji from "Shamen Temple" on their behalf.
At this point, several people realized that Li Yan actually knew the strong man from "Shamen Temple". No wonder he could refine Buddhist magic weapons.
But no matter how curious they were, no one knew why Li Yan could know the cultivators from the Wind God Continent, but no one asked why...
Li Yan actually had no say in the arrangements for the Tianli tribe. He always liked to keep a low profile and not show off, but he could only obey the rules of an ethnic group.
Just from the incident of Gong Chenying's navel ring in the past, we can see how strict and important a group of people are to certain rules.
Before the entrance ceremony was held, Li Yan had already heard some things from Qianji and Zikun. The two demons were now doing very well in the Tianli tribe. Even mortals would respectfully call them "ancestors" when they saw them.
The two demons said that the wedding ceremony of the Tianli tribe was very complicated. It was said that there were customs such as singing, kidnapping the bride, and bonfire dancing. After listening to their simple description, Li Yan was stunned.
But he let it go afterwards, and would talk about it when it came to that point...
Next, Gong Chenying also left Li Yan. She knew that Li Yan’s injuries had not healed and did not want to disturb him.
The matter of "King Qing'a" was handed over to the third elder and the fourth elder, and all the others went back to retreat and recuperate. In the past few years, a large number of people in the Tianli tribe were injured.
So, after Gong Chenying left, Li Yan began to recuperate...
Time passed quickly day by day. The Tianli tribe was extremely vigilant and did not encounter any attacks from the enemy. However, three months before the ceremony of "King Qing'a" entering the palace, the Tianli tribe welcomed a group of people.
In the morning of that day, the third elder, who was handling clan affairs in the "Tianli Palace", finally finished the things at hand after more than an hour of busy work.
She stood up lazily, and her mature and proud figure stretched out. For a moment, her breasts and buttocks formed a breathtaking picture.
"It's really hard to be a clan leader. It's boring and it takes time to cultivate. Under such circumstances, it's really not easy for a clan leader to cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and become the strongest person in the same stage!"
Ever since Gong Shanhe and Li Yan left a few years ago, she and the fourth elder had to manage the clan affairs. The two agreed that each of them would take turns for half a year, and they would only appear together to discuss things occasionally, so that they could also have time to practice.
Unexpectedly, after taking over, even now, Gong Shanhe was injured again after returning, and the clan affairs have to continue to be handled by the two of them.
And just yesterday, the Fourth Elder's half-year rotation period had just ended, and today the Third Elder had to come again.
Just as she was about to make a cup of tea and take a rest in the hall, suddenly a ray of light flashed, came into the hall, and flew straight towards her.
The third elder was stunned, but he could already see clearly what was coming through his spiritual sense. It was a sound transmission talisman.
However, what surprised her was that this kind of sound transmission talisman was only issued to monks patrolling the surrounding areas, and it was not allowed to be used unless there was something important.
Otherwise, any small matter would require the use of this sound transmission talisman, and the Tianli people would feel the pain. This is not a good way to waste.
"Um?"
The Third Elder stretched out an arm as white as a lotus root, and with a light move, she had already grasped the sound transmission talisman in her hand. Then her consciousness sank into it, and after a moment, her brows finally relaxed...
The southeastern frontier defense line of the Tianli tribe used to be a battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. However, over the years, the shouts of killing have disappeared.
Those places that had been turned into scorched earth by repeated fighting day after day have now grown lush and green with bushes, banana trees, and some trees.
From time to time, all kinds of birds would fly up into the sky from here, and when they startled some monsters underground, they would dive into the grass and run around, making a rustling sound, which filled the place with a vibrant scene.
At this time, above the sky, a team of Tianli cultivators were looking at the four people opposite them. The cultivator with the highest cultivation level in this team was at the middle Jindan stage, and the other ten were at the foundation-building stage.
As for the three men and one woman on the opposite side, even the captain of the patrol team could only see that the graceful girl in the middle was at the Jindan realm, which might be even higher than himself. He could not tell the cultivation level of the other three at all.
Since he couldn't see it, it meant that the three people either had a treasure that could conceal their aura, or their cultivation had reached a terrifying level.
Anyone who can possess such a treasure that can conceal one's aura must have an extraordinary origin.
However, even so, as cultivators of the Iron-Blooded Tianli Clan, each of them has experienced hundreds of battles and has long been accustomed to death, and has also become indifferent to their own lives.
So, they blocked the other party without hesitation, and after some inquiries, the captain immediately sent out a sound transmission note.
But they had no intention of leading the four people in. They still stood in front of the other party, staring at them without any fear in their eyes.
The team leader also realized that among the three opponents, the most powerful one should be the fair-skinned and beautiful Jindan girl in the middle.
The girl who looked like a young girl was not inferior to Aying and the third elder of the clan in appearance, and had a unique graceful temperament.
The girl had a curvaceous figure, a thin waist and plump hips. She was wearing a light green tight-fitting palace dress with a light yellow corset that held up a pair of plump breasts.
Her hair was tied up high, her complexion was as white as snow, her teeth were as white as rhinoceros jade, and her eyes were full of life and she looked around with radiance.
Under the corset, there is a pair of long, beautiful legs that make one's heart beat wildly, and on the feet are a pair of long boots that reach up to the plump and white calves.
The graceful figure standing there gives people a feeling of slenderness and grace.
At her side stood two old men in black, both of them were wearing black veils, leaving only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. They stood quietly beside the girl, as if they were two insurmountable mountains.
On the side of an old man in black was a handsome young man with red lips, white teeth, a face like jade, and eyes like bright stars. He looked to be no more than 28 or 29 years old.
The young man was dressed in a white robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. His black hair was casually tied behind his head and spread out on his back, making him look even more handsome.
Most of the time, his pair of clear black and white eyes were fixed on the girl in the green palace dress in the middle, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Only when his eyes occasionally swept over the guard monks wearing exotic costumes blocking their way would he reveal a hint of disdain and disgust, but he concealed it well.
