Jiang Qingyi coughed lightly, swallowed a pill, and cast a cleansing spell on herself, thus restoring her original appearance.

He winked at the two elders and then walked over to Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue.

"Did you two venerable ones come in with Jiang Yiqing?"

Although Shu Jianyue didn't know the name of the person who brought Yu Chuan and the others in, the clan leader's question meant that he must have seen them.

"I guess so. You saw them?"

Jiang Jingyi nodded immediately, "They are waiting for you in our clan's territory."

Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu.

Chong Jiu nodded, "Then let's go."

Jiang Jingyi led the way with a happy expression.

The Fourth Elder shook his head behind her, saying that he hadn't been able to change this habit for so many years.

No matter how hard you try to pretend, you can only pretend for so long. As soon as you relax, your true colors will be revealed.

When they arrived at the tribe's territory, it was just close to the time Yu Chuan had mentioned.

As soon as Yuchuan saw them, he rushed over, "Dad, Mom, what happened to you? Did a tornado sweep you in?"

Shu Jianyue stretched out her One-Finger Divine Skill to block Yu Chuan, who was about to pounce on her, and looked at him with annoyance, "You have so little faith in your parents?"

They would be too weak if they let a tornado get in.

Yu Chuan stood up straight and walked to stand next to her. "Then why didn't you land in the same place as us?"

Not only him, but Jiang Yiqing and Jiang Jingyi also wanted to know.

Shu Jianyue glanced at them, not wanting to say more here, "It's hard to explain in a short time. You didn't encounter anything, did you?"

The suppression here feels more severe than in the mine; my cultivation level is only at the fourth level now.

They assumed everyone's cultivation was suppressed to only four levels, but little did they know that the others were suppressed to only two levels.

Yu Chuan immediately shook his head, "What could possibly happen to us? They wouldn't dare to do anything to us."

Shu Jianyue looked Yu Chuan and Kong Xuan over carefully, only feeling relieved after confirming that they were alright.

Chong Jiu stood beside her without saying a word, but secretly observed the place.

After examining the area with his spiritual power for a while, he finally discovered where the Daoist array runes were located.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingyi coughed lightly, "Ahem, Venerable One, we have prepared a place for you to rest. You may go and rest for a while."

Chong Jiu glanced at her, then looked down at the ground.

The runes on the floor were somewhat similar to those on the load-bearing pillar, yet also somewhat different.

Seeing that he was staring at the ground, Shu Jianyue looked over as well, and once she did, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

They followed the runes inside.

Yu Chuan thought she was looking for something, so he followed her. "Mother, what are you looking for?"

Shu Jianyue raised her hand to signal him not to make a sound and disturb her.

Yu Chuan followed her, puzzled, and looked down at the runes on the ground, but couldn't understand anything.

The Grand Elder finished dealing with the mine's affairs and rushed back. He saw an unfamiliar woman looking down at the runes on the ground. His expression changed, and he stepped forward to block Shu Jianyue's path, smiling as he said, "Venerable One, we have prepared a place for you to rest. Please follow me."

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow at him, "No need, we're ready to leave now that the problem is solved."

Resting here, who knows what will happen next.

Chong Jiu slightly raised his left hand, and the Grand Elder pushed him aside, saying, "Yueyue, you continue."

The elder immediately tried to block him again, but was fixed in place by Chong Jiu's cold gaze.

Feeling uneasy, the elder had no choice but to look at Jiang Jingyi and say, "Clan leader, please invite the venerable ones into the main hall to sit and talk. It's too impolite to leave our distinguished guests standing here."

Jiang Jingyi squinted at him, considering that he was the Great Elder of the Yi Clan and she couldn't embarrass him too much, so she went along with his wishes and looked at Chong Jiu with a smile: "Venerable One, let's move into the main hall. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us, and we will answer them to the best of our knowledge."

As soon as she said this, the Grand Elder immediately coughed.

This clan leader is really losing his temper; he dares to say anything.

The Grand Elder and Jiang Jingyi have disagreements; neither of them will give in, and when they disagree, the decision is made by a vote of the other elders.

Fortunately, apart from the Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder, the other elders were all impartial.

Otherwise, this tribe would have already turned the world upside down.

Just like this time, Jiang Jingyi wanted to remove the servitude mark and leave, while the Grand Elder was conservative and wanted to stay, because this place was their root.

The elder frowned and looked at Jiang Jingyi with a hint of warning.

Jiang Jingyi, however, did not take him seriously.

Because she knew that half of the elders wanted to leave.

Although it is peaceful here, who would want to be stuck at the Tribulation Transcending stage forever?

Chongjiu nodded, indicating that she should lead the way.

Then he looked at Kong Xuan and said, "You stay here and guard this place."

Kong Xuan nodded and grabbed Jiang Yiqing, who was also about to leave.

Although Jiang Yiqing was dissatisfied, he dared not show it and could only stand beside him like a servant.

The elder looked at Shu Jianyue for a while, thinking to himself that this rune array was not so easy to decipher.

He was more afraid of Jiang Jingyi saying something inappropriate than of her, so he followed Jiang Jingyi into the main hall.

Yu Chuan followed Shu Jianyue around twice and then stopped. Seeing that Chong Jiu was about to leave, he immediately chased after him, saying, "Father, I'll go with you."

The main hall for receiving guests is located here, and from inside the main hall, one can have a complete view of the scene on the flat ground outside.

Chong Jiu sat in the head seat and looked at Jiang Jingyi, asking, "How many Yi tribesmen are there in your area?"
