Two days later, Xiao Yan and his two companions, led by Murong Xuan, arrived deep in the Western Wilderness Region, outside a city called Blue Eagle City.
Upon hearing the name Blue Eagle City, Xiao Yan immediately recalled the scene when Murong Qianqian was taken away. Before leaving, the middle-aged man had clearly told him about Blue Eagle City. He never imagined that what the middle-aged man had just said as a polite remark would actually come true.
Blue Eagle City, Xiao Yan and his companions stood suspended in mid-air, gazing into the distance. Though outside the city, they could clearly see three enormous birds circling in the vast sky above a magnificent array of buildings deep within Blue Eagle City. Although these birds were not the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Xiao Yan could tell that these magical beasts were far from ordinary. Moreover, judging from the oppressive aura emanating from them that enveloped the entire Blue Eagle City, these three magical beasts were likely of extremely high level.
"These three guys are from a subordinate clan of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, named Goshawk. Hmph, back when the two clans were at war, they weren't even qualified to set foot in the war. They just followed behind my clan all day long. I never thought they would actually develop to this point now."
As he finished speaking, Murong Xuan couldn't help but show a look of resentment. Just imagine how glorious his Azure Luan Clan was back then, holding an extremely important position even among the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Who would have thought that they would be suppressed by such trash now?
"Let's go, let's go and meet them."
Xiao Yan could only sigh inwardly. He then waved his hand, signaling Murong Xuan to lead the way. Xiao Yan then took Leng Bingshuang's hand, whose face looked somewhat unnatural. The three of them quickly entered the city and flew swiftly towards the city center.
Soon, the three figures arrived at the city center. Looking up, they saw three enormous beasts circling leisurely in the distant sky, their huge shadows descending from the heavens and enveloping the entire city like a thick layer of dark clouds. Combined with the heavy pressure, it made people feel an extremely heavy atmosphere.
"This is Goshawk Fort. Our clansmen usually live here. Apart from some necessary family businesses and training trips, many people have lived and cultivated here since childhood. Of course, we also have our own space, so our knowledge and skills are certainly no less than those of people outside."
Murong Xuan smiled and spoke to Xiao Yan, who looked surprised. As for Leng Bingshuang, she glanced at the massive castle below, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her beautiful eyes. After many years, she had finally returned here once again.
When Xiao Yan first saw the ancient castle outside the city, he didn't find anything strange about it. It was just slightly more magnificent than any building he had ever seen before. But now that he was directly above the Goshawk Fort, he was shocked to discover that what he had seen before was only the tip of the iceberg of the entire castle.
The massive castle is like a strange city whose interior is invisible. As far as the eye can see, there are no main gates or entrances. The only way to enter is through the windows, which are set up high in the castle and resemble doorways. Only from there can one access the outside world of the castle.
This was truly the first time Xiao Yan had ever seen such a strange building.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, there's no need to be surprised. My Azure Luan Clan is naturally adept at flying. Those architectural structures suitable for humans are completely irrelevant to us. On the contrary, this not only ensures the safety of our clan members but also suits our clan, saving us some unnecessary trouble."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood. At the same time, he felt a sense of admiration for this race. Even though he had transformed into a human, they were still able to follow their own will and establish their own rules, without being influenced by the majority. Such an unruly race was truly astonishing.
Meanwhile, in the reception hall of Goshawk Fort, several middle-aged men were smiling and chatting with a group of people sitting opposite them. Their words were quite polite, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
"Clan Chief Murong, the young clan chief has been gone for almost five days, and he hasn't returned yet. Could it be that he couldn't bring anyone back, so he ran away on his own?"
On the left side of the hall, an elderly man in a yellow robe at the front of a row of seats looked up at the middle-aged man in the main seat and spoke in a slightly deep tone. This middle-aged man was none other than Murong Xun, the current patriarch of the Azure Luan Clan.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth beside him frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure crossing his icy blue eyes. At the same time, the middle-aged man in the main seat also immediately noticed the change in the young man's expression, his eyes darting around before he said:
"Hehe, Elder Cang Xuan, please don't be impatient. The location of Leng Bing Leng Bingshuang is quite a distance from my Goshawk Fort. Even though Xuan'er's cultivation has now reached the Origin Transformation Realm, it will still take some time. So please be patient and wait a while longer."
"Since Clan Chief Murong has said so, then let's wait a little longer. However, I must remind Clan Chief Murong that Leng Bingshuang is a member of my Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Our clan attaches great importance to this matter and has ordered me to bring Leng Bingshuang back to be recognized as a member of the clan. Therefore, if the young clan chief fails to bring her back, then you will have to bear the consequences."
Upon hearing the words uttered by the middle-aged man in the head seat, the old man sitting below hesitated slightly before speaking with a hint of threat in his voice.
"Of course. Since Xuan'er is handling this personally, he will surely be able to do it perfectly. Elder Cang Xuan, please rest assured. However, there is still one thing I don't understand. I hope Elder Cang Xuan can tell me why the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan suddenly asked Leng Bingshuang to return and acknowledge her ancestors."
Murong Xun's question caused Cang Elder Xuan's expression to change instantly, revealing his displeasure. However, before he could speak, the white-haired youth beside him suddenly gave a cold laugh and said:
"It seems the Azure Luan Clan has been away from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan for too long, and has even forgotten this. Don't you know that among Leng Bingshuang's ancestors was a powerful figure with an Extreme Yin Physique?"
"Although her ancestor's talent for cultivation was not outstanding, it is said that after they successfully controlled the Extreme Yin Physique through the clan's secret method, they became one of the strongest in the Ice Phoenix Clan. However, for some reason, the Extreme Yin Physique affected the next generation, causing all the direct descendants of her branch to possess the Extreme Yin Physique physique."
"Judging by the time, the Extreme Yin Physique hidden within Leng Bingshuang's body is now almost fully mature. The reason we brought her back to the clan this time is to help her resolve this Extreme Yin Physique. Now, you should understand?"
Upon hearing the white-haired youth's words, Murong Xun's expression immediately changed. He naturally knew about the Extreme Yin Physique and its inherent dangers. The Extreme Yin Physique was indeed a particularly powerful special constitution in the world, but everyone knew that it was a bizarre constitution that harmed both the individual and others. If there was any way to help Leng Bingshuang solve this problem, he would be more than willing.
However, just as Murong Xun with suspicion, three figures suddenly arrived outside the reception hall; it was Xiao Yan and his two companions.
