Chapter 259 In the Lion Clan
"stop!"
Two young guards at the entrance of the Lion Clan blocked Leng Ye and his companions' path upon seeing them.
"Ha, crossing the river and then burning the bridge?"
Xuanmo's gaze turned icy as he swept over the lion guards. "Where is your leader?"
At this moment, the lion-like beasts resting in the wooden house nearby heard the noise outside, frowned, got up, and ran out to investigate.
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here now while you still can!" one of the guards shouted, transforming into his original form and yelling at them, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Hehehe..."
After the orcs inside recognized Xuanmo and Shu Ning, they asked, "What brings you here?"
The two guards looked surprised when they heard this.
“We have something to discuss with your leader,” Mo Li said.
"Sure, I'll have someone inform them right away. Please wait a moment."
“No need,” the griffin said as it flew over, landed on the ground, and retracted its wings. “I have already informed the leader.”
"Please come in with me."
The group then transformed into human form and followed the griffin inside.
Upon seeing this scene, the orcs nearby also wanted to follow, but dared not because of the guards.
The Lion Clan Leader's Cave.
Xuanmo, Shu Ning, Mo Li, and Leng Ye walked in together.
"You've arrived."
When Huang Ying saw Shu Ning enter with her two beast husbands and a merman, he felt a strange mix of emotions, but he still maintained his dignity as the leader.
“Huang Ying, this is Leng Ye, the leader of Dong Cang Hai,” Mo Li introduced.
"So you are the master of Dongcanghai." Huang Ying's expression changed slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes, but his face remained calm. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
He nodded and glanced casually at Shu Ning beside Mo Li.
Leng Ye nodded slightly in response, exuding an aloof aura. "Nice to meet you." He spoke succinctly, his gaze subtly sweeping over Huang Ying, who was sitting above.
"I have come here to ask you for a favor."
"What is it? Tell me," Huang Ying's ears unconsciously tilted towards Shu Ning, "If I can help..."
"When we were picking melons in the North, we encountered an orc who followed us all the way..." Mo Li said.
"An orc?"
Huang Ying recalled the orc that the griffin had mentioned following them, and asked, "You can't defeat all of you?"
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he felt that this matter seemed to be more than it appeared.
"A leader of the Black Serpent Clan, a leader of the Eastern Canghai Clan, a Jiao Clan member who has already transformed into a dragon, and..."
He looked at Shu Ning, then glanced quickly and seemingly casually outside, "Several followers of considerable strength."
At this moment, Shu Ning and Xuan Mo also didn't understand. Just as Huang Ying said, they were clearly capable of defeating the orc, so why were they being so cautious?
“Huang Ying,” Mo Li said solemnly, “please dismiss everyone else.”
He felt that this matter could no longer be kept secret.
Huang Ying waved for his men to leave, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Mo Li and said, "There are no outsiders here, so just say what you have to say."
"It's like this, I overheard that there is a beast world outside of us, where every male has superpowers."
A look of surprise flashed in Huang Ying's eyes, and he leaned forward instinctively. "Another beast world... also has superpowers?"
He tried to remain calm, but his ears twitched involuntarily. "Where did you hear that from?"
Xuan Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Shu Ning beside him, his expression solemn, "Special ability?"
Shu Ning was equally surprised upon hearing this, and looked at Xuan Mo with a smile.
"It's in the Eastern Sea. This is what the Zombie Dragon Clan's spirit vein beast said. This is his dream. He dreamt that the Zombie Dragon Clan's patriarch, who had already disappeared, appeared to him in his dream," Mo Li said.
"Dream……"
Huang Ying lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with complex emotions, and pondered the veracity of the matter. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "If it's just a dream, I'm afraid that's a bit far-fetched."
“The old patriarch in his dream also said,” Leng Ye added, “our world is actually a place of exile. Whenever the orcs of that beast world make a mistake, they will be banished here.”
Huangying's pupils contracted, and its tail stiffened. "Such a thing is true..."
He took a deep breath, trying to process the news, and looked up at Leng Ye.
Thinking of the orcs that had been following them...
“Moreover, if any of our beast beings were banished from their ancestral lands, they are very likely to pass down their special abilities,” Leng Ye added.
Huang Ying frowned, somewhat shocked. No wonder some tribes were born with special abilities.
After a moment of silence, processing this information, she gently shook her ear, "If that's the case..."
Thinking of something, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he fell into deep thought.
Could it be that this is how I acquired my abilities...?
"So...you suspect that the orc you're following has supernatural abilities?"
"That's right, that's why we're wary of him."
Huang Ying unconsciously rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, "If he really has superpowers, it is indeed troublesome... But how are you sure that orc was thrown here?"
"It is said that the orcs who were dumped here have their memories erased before they come here. When we met him last night, he knew nothing about it, so it seems that he has indeed forgotten."
Huang Ying frowned, remained silent for a long while, glanced at Shu Ning out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Leng Ye, asking, "Where is that beastman now?"
"They should still be outside, at the entrance to the Lion Clan's territory."
Huang Ying frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. "Then let's take him into custody and then make further plans."
"Someone come here."
Then a lion-like beast entered and called out, "Chief."
"Strengthen security, conduct a thorough search, and make sure to find that orc at the entrance!"
"yes!"
Watching his subordinates leave, Huang Ying's stomach rumbled inappropriately, his ears turned red, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
"It's so late, you guys haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Not yet, the Lion Clan leader will probably invite us to have a meal," Mo Li said with a slight smile.
“Of course,” Huang Ying said, turning to instruct his men to prepare food.
Realizing they were still standing, he coughed lightly, trying to appear calm and cover up his earlier oversight. "Don't stand, everyone, sit down."
He pointed to the seats on either side of him, "The food will be here soon."
He then instructed his men to prepare some for Leng Ye's entourage as well.
Just then, Mo Li was about to lead Shu Ning to a seat on the side, but she saw that Xuan Mo had already pulled Shu Ning to sit in one of the two seats on the left.
He gave a soft snort and chuckled helplessly, "This Xuanmo..."
Xuanmo ignored him after hearing this, a smug look flashing in his eyes. He continued to pull Shu Ning to her seat and then moved the two of them closer together.
Mo Li and Leng Ye sat down in the seats on the right.
At this moment, Shu Ning was still thinking about their conversation; she had been contemplating the entire time.
If what they say is true, wouldn't the orcs throw the world into chaos once they discover they possess superpowers?
