Chapter 1332: Chapter 159: Dispute Before the Clan Competition (Part 2)
Yun Sheng didnât dislike the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch.
In her memory, she hadnât met this Old Clan Chief many times, so they werenât familiar. However, the Jiuluan Clan Patriarchâs temperament was somewhat similar to that of her grandfather, Yun Bahe.
He was different from that old fox, Hu Qianqiu, with clear distinctions between love and hate. Earlier at the Sky Fox Tribe, he had helped her out at the inn, and now for the second time, so Yun Sheng felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing him.
Yun Sheng didnât know that when it came to shrewdness, the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch was just as sharp as the old fox, Hu Qianqiu.
His kindness towards Yun Sheng stemmed not only from finding her agreeable but also because of the intermarriage between the two clans.
Although Hu Qianqiu hadnât publicly announced Yun Shengâs becoming the Heavenly Fox Saintess, he had secretly informed the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch.
He also promised the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch that as soon as the Eight Desolate Clan Competition ended, Yun Sheng would be appointed as the Heavenly Fox Saintess, and then arrange for Yun Sheng to marry Lu.
The Old Clan Chief laughed at the thought of Yun Sheng marrying Lu and soon being able to have a grandchild.
Yun Sheng remained in the dark about this matter.
"By the way, I seem to have heard earlier that someone intends to trouble Miss Yun?" Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, despite his advanced age, still had sharp ears and eyes. He had heard most of the conversation between Peng Wanli and his grandson intending to deal with Yun Sheng.
"Hehe, Old Clan Chief, you must have misheard. Just now, Boss Peng Yu was merely chatting with the juniors." Hu Qianqiu felt somewhat aggrieved being directly ignored by the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, but he managed to maintain his composure as the leader of the clan.
Hu Qianqiu spoke and glanced at Boss Peng Yu, who immediately backed down upon seeing the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch.
With the appearance of the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, Boss Peng Yu couldnât stand his ground.
These two Old Clan Chiefs were considered seasoned elders within the current Eight Desolate Beast Clan, comparable to Black Armor, Hu Qianqiu, Lipa, and others from the same generation.
Both belonged to clans within the Beast Tribe known for flying bird-types, yet in terms of bloodline and strength, the Luan Clan was a significant step ahead of the Pengyu Clan.
Especially a hundred fifty years ago, both the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch and Boss Peng Yu participated in the same Eight Desolate Clan Competition. The then impetuous Boss Peng Yu had foolishly challenged the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch.
The outcome was that the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch used a burst of Phoenix Skyfire to burn every hairy spot of Boss Peng Yu, kicking him bare off the stage, making him a joke.
This incident became the greatest humiliation in Boss Peng Yuâs life. Even after becoming Boss Peng Yu, this story remained a humorous tale among clan leaders.
For this, Boss Peng Yu had harbored a deep hatred toward the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, hoping his descendants would avenge him. Unfortunately, Green of the Jiuluan Clan surpassed Silver Roc in both appearance and strength.
Thatâs why, upon encountering the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, Boss Peng Yu quickly became subdued like a mouse encountering a cat.
"The Fox Clan Leader is correct; why would my clan bully the juniors? We were just chatting, nothing more." Boss Peng Yu had no choice but to swallow his pride and nodded reluctantly.
"Thatâs right, Peng Wanli, you old rascal finally used your brains. Among juniors, even if there are grudges, they shouldnât secretly compete. If there must be a competition, the Eight Desolate Clan Competition offers plenty of opportunities. Even Hei Yao would agree. The Eight Desolate Clan Competition is where the strong thrive and the weak perish. Itâs where our Eight Desolate Beast Clanâs new talents rise." Jiuluan Clan Patriarch spoke, his sharp eyes looking toward Yongdu ahead.
Following the Old Clan Chiefâs gaze, Yun Sheng, Green, and others also looked toward the majestic capital, Bahuang Continentâs largest city, Tianyong City of the Black Qilin.
The Heavenly Fox, Jiuluan, Pengyu, and Bimong clans had already arrived, while the remaining clans, Azure Nether Wolf and Ba Snake, along with the Di Clan, would soon arrive.
With the appearance of the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch, the conflict between Yun Sheng and Pengyu Clan temporarily came to a halt, and everyone proceeded toward Tianyong City.
"Yun Sheng, whatâs the matter with Boss Peng Yu again? Why havenât you reported this to the clan?" Hu Qianqiu seized a moment when Jiuluan Clan Patriarch wasnât paying attention to reproach Yun Sheng.
"Iâve already said, I donât know any Boss Peng Yu. Clan Leader, rather than worrying about this, it would be better to think about how to appease the Black Qilin and Di Clan Leaders later." Yun Sheng replied with a mocking smile.
"Damn, how dare you speak to me like this? Let me remind you, youâd better be smart about things. Donât forget that Hu Ruolan and Lu Yunshuangâs clansmen are still in my hands." Hu Qianqiuâs face turned red and white with embarrassment.
Yun Sheng didnât bother to speak further, casting a glance at the distant Bimong Clanâs group.
Young Chief Ritaâs appearance hadnât changed, suggesting she hadnât yet mastered the Bimong inheritance. At that moment, Rita was giving Green an indecisive look, seemingly wanting to ask something but unsure of how to begin.
Yun Shengâs curiosity stirred as she approached Green.
"Green, I heard you have a good relationship with Young Chief Zi of the Di Clan? Why didnât you two come together this time?" Yun Shengâs question was perfectly timed to reach Ritaâs ears.
Ritaâs ears immediately perked up upon hearing Ziâs name.
"Thereâs been some trouble in Ziâs tribe, causing them to arrive a few days later," Green happily chatted, seizing the opportunity since a beauty approached him.
Arriving a few days later?
Rita listened, her rugged face showing hints of disappointment, yet she nodded gratefully at Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng understood her thoughts.
"Rita, you better not consider it. If you dare learn that damn inheritance for a man and let down the clanâs expectations, even as your mother, I will never forgive you forever." Chief Lipaâs eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Ritaâs face dimmed instantly as she fell silent, following the Bimong groupâs lead.
Ahead, Tianyong City was getting closer. At the city gates, there were already two rows of troops, led by a young man in Black Armor.
Behind the Black Armor-clad man were nearly a hundred Black Qilin Soldiers, evidently waiting for the clan leaders.
Seeing the young man, Yun Shengâs expression subtly changed, slowing her pace.
Dugu Xiu, they had indeed encountered him.
