For Hu Yu, who values bloodlines, he might suspect Zhang Xuezhou's inferior lineage, but he wouldn't question why Zhang Xuezhou wielded the Wind and Thunder Blade.

In his view, those who do not conform to the bloodline are not even qualified to touch the treasures.

Only those who inherit the right bloodline are qualified to suppress the wind erosion and lightning strikes of the Wind and Thunder Blade.

Although he had mistaken his ancestor, Hu Yu did not regard Zhang Xuezhou as an opponent; on the contrary, he treated Zhang Xuezhou with great courtesy and respect.

Zhang Xuezhou was initially a little taken aback, after all, they had destroyed the Tiger's Nest and even fought a battle with the Tiger Saint Aristocratic Clan from afar.

Zhang Xuezhou only reacted quickly after Hu Yu continued to vibrate and vocalize.

Can you speak the Omega Alliance language?

Zhang Xuezhou stood in the air, while Hu Yu's blue wings flashed behind him, also remaining suspended in mid-air.

Tiger Yu kept shaking his spirit to inquire, and occasionally probed Zhang Xuezhou's body from head to toe. After confirming that Tiger Yu had no hostility, Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment before choosing to speak.

Mental communication is a common means of communication among cultivators of different language systems, but mental communication makes it too easy for others to touch one's heart and probe one's true nature.

There's no need for Zhang Xuezhou to have any intellectual exchange with Hu Yu; anything he says would sound fake. Only through verbal communication can Zhang Xuezhou express himself normally.

"Oh... oh... beautiful..."

The tiger, flapping its blue wings, opened its mouth several times, uttering words as if it were mute. It raised its head and roared upwards, its bones and skin rapidly contracting, and its body began to stand up, revealing a strange-looking tiger-headed human.

"I can speak a little bit... Omega Alliance language," Hu Yu stammered.

"Just knowing a little bit is enough!"

Zhang Xuezhou observed that Hu Yu, who wasn't particularly intelligent, didn't care whether Hu Yu had transformed into this form and could speak human language, as long as he could understand the language of the Omega Alliance.

The other party's behavior was somewhat idiotic, but Zhang Xuezhou quickly realized that he probably held a high position in Hu Yu's eyes.

Otherwise, Hu Yu wouldn't have transformed into this strange form.

"Hu Kui, Hu Meng, Hu Yue, and Hu Teng summoned me; they are quite furious about your performance!"

Hu Yu appeared calm, but his behavior betrayed a hint of unease and nervousness.

After much speculation, Zhang Xuezhou also tried to speak in a high-pressure, low-pressure manner. He figured it wouldn't matter if he said something wrong, but if he said it right, he could intimidate Hu Yu.

"I... I didn't perform very well!"

Tiger Yu's fur was covered in white fur, and sweat dripped from his palms.

Zhang Xuezhou stared intently at Hu Yu's head. Only when the sweat dripped from Hu Yu's palms did he suddenly realize that the other's body structure was different from that of humans. Humans sweat on their foreheads, while the other's sweat came from its claws.

"The Black Mountain Poison Widow destroyed the Tiger Soul Hall," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The clan leader is extremely displeased with this!"

"What? That old hag Nia isn't giving the Tiger Saint Aristocratic Clan any face at all?"

The destruction caused by the Tiger Soul Hall was clearly quite significant. Hu Yu, who had been stammering and stuttering, immediately straightened his tongue and his speech became much more normal.

Sweat dripped from his palms, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his tiger-headed head.

"I've created ten Tiger Guards in the Tiger Soul Hall, plus one hundred and twenty auxiliary guards, and two thousand eight hundred and seventy Tiger Cubs," Tiger Cultivation said with difficulty. "This legion is invincible. Her spider swarm should be nothing but playthings in front of the Tiger Guards!"

"You underestimate her," Zhang Xuezhou said. "She used the Profound Yin Heavy Water to block the gate and carry out a massacre. If the clan leader hadn't noticed something was wrong and ordered me to assist in striking the Black Mountain Poison Widow, the Tiger Soul Hall would have been destroyed by her!"

"Damn it, how dare she fight us to the death? What gives her the audacity to be so arrogant?"

Hu Yu looked on in disbelief.

Having lost his advantage, he had to avoid the Seven Spiders. He then flew to the Aomeijia Alliance to see the scale of the Seven Spiders' encroachment on his territory, so as to assess their strength and confidence as much as possible.

His investigation went smoothly, but Hu Yu never expected that his stronghold would be raided.

"What do you think we should do?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"My hatred for her is irreconcilable; this is a fight to the death," Hu Yu said through gritted teeth.

"Then go ahead, I'll be waiting to see how you do!"

Zhang Xuezhou gestured with his hand.

After traveling with the others for a while, it was time for him to set off alone again. More than half a day had passed. If Hu Yu's journey to the Spider God's Cave was faster, and the Seven Spiders had fled back at great cost, the two sides might still run into each other.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't wait for Hu Yu and Qi Zhu to have another fierce battle.

He invoked the banner of Hu Kui and others, placing himself in a superior position while speaking, and forced Hu Yu into a situation where he had no choice but to fight fiercely. But Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If Hu Yu were to possess Ding Kui, there would be a 90% chance that after hearing these words, Hu Yu would rush to the Spider God's Cave, and even if it came to a fight to the death, they would inevitably clash. However, Hu Yu in his current state is like a toothless tiger, and any attack would only bring him humiliation.

Over-reliance on treasures is no different from ordinary people relying on firearms. Ordinary people with guns have a chance to defeat those Sequence Holder, while ordinary people without guns have no chance of struggling against those Sequence Holder.

Without Ding Kui, Hu Yu can only make threats at most; he has almost no chance of actually launching an attack.

"I hope you will wield the Wind and Thunder Blade to my aid!"

Tiger's head turned blue and white in turns, and in the end, he bowed and begged for help.

"As long as I, Hu Yu, ever have a chance to rise above my circumstances, I will never forget your kindness," Hu Yu pleaded.

"I have been ordered to carry out an important mission, and there is no time to lose!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, clearly indicating that he would not join forces with Hu Yu to deal with the Seven Spiders.

Not to mention now, even a month from now, Tiger's advantage is far from enough compared to Seven Spiders. He can't afford to take advantage of one company after another. Moreover, his team left Qinmeng along the northern region of the Aomeijia Alliance, which is still in a risky area. Zhang Xuezhou can't risk his team.

"Is there something else important?" Hu Yu asked, seemingly surprised and somewhat belatedly realizing, "Could it be that the clan's diviners have discovered traces of the origin?"

"I don't know either, I was just following orders!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, and Hu Yu, who had temporarily escaped the awkward situation of being locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Seven Spiders, began to entangle him.

The other party clearly had their eye on Zhang Xuezhou, who wielded the Wind and Thunder Blade, and was trying to get Zhang Xuezhou help while also trying to find out the important matter that Zhang Xuezhou had casually fobbed off.

Hu Yu confidently mentioned that he could be called upon to lead the charge if needed.

Zhang Xuezhou was truly helpless against this powerful cultivator who was clinging to him. Hu Yu didn't want to fight him right now, and the opponent's flying speed was clearly faster than Zhang Xuezhou's.

He could only fly and delay, to see whether his human strength would prevail or Hu Yu's cloud-wing Law Treasure would last longer.

"Are you going to take this kind of inferior flying Law Treasure after you're tired from flying?"

After several hours of back and forth, Zhang Xuezhou chose to land in Sinbat, where there were several flights that would allow him to travel directly to Brampeda without using any special privileges.

He was about to land in the direction of the airport when Hu Yu seemed to have noticed something and called out to Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly.

"Um?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise, only to see Hu Yu's face turn ingratiating, and he took out a golden sphere from his waist.

"If you don't mind, I also have a pair of Crimson Gold Cloud Wings here. These wings are extremely stable and adaptable, definitely suitable for a powerful individual like you!"

"I... am fine too!"

With the Wind and Thunder Blade in hand, Hu Yu mistakenly identified Zhang Xuezhou as a man, and even more so as to believe that Zhang Xuezhou could wield the Wind and Thunder Blade and fly long distances without wings, making it easy for him to adapt his body to cloud wings. Hu Yu quickly decided to offer the treasure to Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a moment. Compared to them, who were all poor, cultivators like Hu Yu possessed divine artifacts and Law Treasure at every turn, and their wealth was so abundant that it was enviable.

He wasn't sure if he could use the Cloud Wing Law Treasure, but he couldn't possibly refuse a treasure that was offered to him.

Even if all else fails, the airport is right below, and he can still use transportation to complete the rest of his long journey.
