Egging Them On One by One

From morning to afternoon, and then into the night.

As Zhang Xuezhou landed on a fire pit, he saw Hu Yu's head drooping as if he were dozing off.

As a pampered scion of a noble Aristocratic Clan, Hu Yu maintained relatively good sleep, even without Ding Kui's protection.

"Roar!"

Guarding Hu Yu was a small golden lion, its body a golden color, and it looked quite like a smaller Nine Spirits Primal Sage.

A low whistling warning sounded, and Hu Yu raised his head and leaped up quickly.

"Has the old hag come to kill us?"

Tiger Yu roared, blue wings appeared on his back, and he almost took off into the air.

"That... you... senior!"

When Zhang Xuezhou clearly by the light of the firewood, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He called out twice, clearly embarrassed that he didn't know Zhang Xuezhou's name, and finally addressed him as "senior" according to the rules of the Aristocratic Clan.

As long as the other party is stronger and the relationship is friendly, Tiger Yu can address them as a senior. However, if the other party is stronger and is an enemy, then he will inevitably call them old hags or old hags.

Hu Yu firmly believed that Zhang Xuezhou was a member of the Hu Sheng Aristocratic Clan, since the Wind and Thunder Blade could only be used by those with the right bloodline. This blade was jointly kept by the clan leader and the three elders and could not be seen except under special circumstances. Hu Yu could not believe that someone who lacked the right bloodline could still kill his way into the Hu Sheng Aristocratic Clan, steal the Wind and Thunder Blade, and then run back to this world.

"What are you still standing there yelling for? Quickly pay your respects to our senior! It's our honor that you've come to see us!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou remained silent, Hu Yu quickly roared at the golden lion.

After a brief transformation, Hu Yu barely managed to stand as a human, and then he began to speak haltingly in the language of the Omega Alliance.

"Elder Baqi is unaware of your situation. I'll have a proper talk with him then!"

Tiger Yu pointed to the Golden Lion, his protector who not only safeguarded his safety but also offered him much advice.

Seeing that the protectors were extremely wary, Hu Yu had no choice but to mention that he had not revealed any information about Zhang Xuezhou, which was why the protectors were on guard.

"No need for formalities," Zhang Xuezhou said calmly. "I've come to inform you that someone has already seized the origin of the world, and they've unleashed a cold wave that has altered the environment of a vast area!"

"What?"

Tiger Yu jumped in surprise, while the Golden Lion solemnly raised its head to look at the dark night sky.

The Qin-Meng continent has a vast territory, and the climate varies from place to place.

Without modern weather systems, it would be impossible to know the climate characteristics of a region, or even distinguish between spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Hu Yu, being in Qin Meng's presence, clearly did not notice anything unusual about this change, simply regarding it as normal cold air and climate change.

"What are we going to do?" Hu Yu exclaimed in alarm. "The diviner said the origin of the world was in that capital city, and it was taken away in just a short time we left?"

"The origin lies in Qin Meng's capital?"

Zhang Xuezhou raised an eyebrow, and Huang Daoxian, standing beside him, immediately perked up his ears.

"For some reason, a fountain of Xuan Yin Heavy Water appeared near the capital of Qin Meng," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The Xuan Yin Heavy Water transformed into wind and rain in that area. Are you sure the origin of the world is there?"

"That's what the fortune teller said," Hu Yudao said. "Weren't you informed of this when you were assigned the task?"

Are fortune tellers accurate?

Zhang Xuezhou did not answer Hu Yu's question, but instead kept throwing out new questions, keeping Hu Yu firmly confined to the information he needed.

"The fortune teller's predictions are usually quite accurate," Hu Yu said. "Our ancestor also received help from a fortune teller back then, which enabled him to conquer the Great Wilderness!"

"Did the diviner also go to the Great Wilderness?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Right!"

Hu Yu nodded repeatedly.

"What other information did the diviner convey?" Zhang Xuezhou continued to ask.

"The fortune teller said the Lineage's most talented offspring has a chance to find the origin. Baqi, what are you coughing for? The origin of this world has already been taken away, and we can't even talk about it now. The fortune teller has misjudged this time!"

Tiger Yu doesn't know what the origin of the world looks like, but he knows that outliers will most likely be eliminated. After all, their ancestors did the same thing to ensure the continued existence and development of the Tiger Saint Aristocratic Clan, which is something that anyone who controls power and ability will inevitably do.

Even if the other person is a dog, they would still wish the world were a dog's world.

He had already seen Zhang Xuezhou running around with the Wind and Thunder Blade on his back, so he had no more reservations.

"You and Hu Hao are the most talented offspring of the Lineage," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You must investigate this matter carefully. According to the diviner, as long as the other party hasn't ascended to a higher dimension and left, you should still have a chance to obtain the origin!"

"Yes, we are still very talented, we should have a chance!"

Hu Yu shrank back, then looked at the crimson-gold cloud wing marks on Zhang Xuezhou's arm.

If compared, they are certainly not as talented as Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou is an executor of the Tiger Saint Lineage, not a direct descendant of the Tiger Saint Lineage bloodline.

Zhang Xuezhou's statement is correct. Even if he and Hu Hao are not as good as Zhang Xuezhou, it is still true that only he and Hu Hao are the most talented offspring of the Lineage.

They were within the area designated by the diviner, while Zhang Xuezhou was outside that area.

The problem that Tiger Nurturing could understand, Golden Lion could also understand, and Tiger Nurturing's tense and wary mindset eased considerably.

"But how can we conduct the verification?" Hu Yu asked with difficulty, "I'm also a little afraid of the Xuan Yin Heavy Water!"

Hu Yu couldn't help but feel a deep resentment, thinking that Hu Hao's reckless actions had caused him to lose the title of Ding Kui.

If he had Ding Kui in hand, Hu Yu could at least protect himself, instead of being in a situation where he dared not even touch the Xuan Yin Heavy Water.

"You can contact Seven Spiders, Nine Heads, White Bone, Hundred Eyes, and Six Ears," Zhang Xuezhou said. "They should be of use!"

But they are...

"This trouble is beyond our ability to resolve. You need to treat them with courtesy and utilize their strength as much as possible, even at a cost. Only in this way can you obtain the opportunity the diviner spoke of!"

Before Hu Yu could express his difficulties, Zhang Xuezhou quickly reminded him and even encouraged him to pay the price.

Zhang Xuezhou's words are suggestions with an element of guidance that can be implemented. He doesn't pay the price for achieving the goals, and he speaks without understanding the situation. He repeatedly urges Hu Yu to pay the price for the impending risks, instead of holding back and keeping something in reserve.

"This guy is really bleeding money out of everyone. He stabbed me first, then Hu Yu. To be fair, Hu Yu's family is probably quite wealthy. If they team up with those guys, they might have a chance!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Hu Yu chattered away, while Huang Daoxian listened attentively, occasionally offering his criticisms of Zhang Xuezhou.

Huang Daoxian suspected Zhang Xuezhou of being a fraudster, but he had no concrete evidence and could only watch as Zhang Xuezhou readily complied.

Later on, the eight Golden Lions began to lower their guard and started calling Zhang Xuezhou "senior".

"Nine Head has some shady dealings; you should keep a close eye on him and try to get him to cooperate first!"

Nine Heads stole Ding Kui back. A guilty conscience makes someone most likely to cooperate. Zhang Xuezhou even pointed out a breakthrough for communication to Hu Yu.

"Xixuanmi is fearless; he is indeed the best candidate for reconnaissance!"

Zhang Xuezhou's guidance was one thing, while Hu Yu's understanding was another, but their answers were clearly very similar, and Hu Yu confidently took the lead in contacting Jiu Tou.

"If you need to contact me, just dial this number from anywhere in the Aomeijia Alliance, and they will forward the information to me!"

Zhang Xuezhou also left his contact information with Hu Yu.

Since real-time communication is impossible on the Qin-Meng continent, this is the only way to quickly obtain information at present.

Fortunately, Hu Yufei's flying ability is quite strong, and his information transmission is already at its peak. Even if Zhang Xuezhou is in the Scarlet Alliance State, he will not be slow to receive information.
