Chapter 969: 0969 Various Guesses! (Third Update)
The mythical beasts of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest let out a roar, and the next day, the ancient clans grew uneasy, because the Barbaric Wilderness Forest is a forbidden area. It had been peaceful for so many years, and if someone truly disturbed it, it could bring disaster to the ancient land.
Many clan leaders from various ancient clans gathered together to discuss what to do.
Mu Clan.
"Could it be that our actions have attracted the attention of some terrifying presence in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest?" Mu Tianxing wondered aloud.
He had also clearly heard the earth-shattering roar last night, and even with his strength, he felt his mind tremble.
"Master, we have been very cautious in our operations. Even if we encountered ancient beasts, we would immediately stand still and only resume work once they had left," the butler said.
"That’s strange. Why would such a major disturbance occur for no reason? This has never happened before," Mu Tianxing said, feeling somewhat restless.
"Could it have been discovered by other ancient clans?" Mu Tianxing pondered the worst possible outcome.
The old butler shook his head firmly. "Impossible. You can rest assured, Master. Our clan’s actions are all confidential, and we have strict supervision. Even within our family members, it’s impossible to pass messages, let alone transmit them to other ancient clans."
"Hmm? Master, could it be a situation where fighting among these ancient beasts caused last night’s earth-shattering roar?" the old butler suddenly suggested, causing Mu Tianxing’s eyes to flash, thinking this explanation might be possible.
"Alright, let’s put this matter behind us. As long as the ancient beasts haven’t stormed out of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, everything will remain unchanged. However, you must be careful when exploring the Crystal Stone veins. Do not provoke the ancient beasts. Otherwise, not only will you anger them, but if they are truly enraged and cause a beast tide, our ancient clan could encounter a catastrophic disaster."
The old butler shuddered, deeply etching this into his heart.
Mu Tianxing didn’t know that last night’s roar of the ancient beasts had nothing to do with the Mu Clan. It was actually caused by the Ji Clan.
Inside the Ji Clan.
Ji Changtian looked at the treasures before him, his face brimming with joy.
Ji Lingchen stood at one side, looking at the three massive, white eggs, the fruits of their recent endeavors.
Of course, to acquire these huge eggs, he had almost lost his life during this venture into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. He was the only one who returned alive; everyone else perished inside, including his brother Ji Chuan. This left Ji Lingchen feeling deeply guilty and remorseful.
"Tsk, tsk, what perfect eggs, filled with the Power of Laws. If hatched, our Ji Clan will firmly establish itself as the top ancient clan in the ancient land," Ji Changtian said.
"Clan Leader, these are eggs of the Windhorn Beast. I could have brought back more if that Windhorn Beast hadn’t suddenly returned. I could have brought back all ten," Ji Lingchen said.
Talking about stealing the ancient beast eggs still filled Ji Lingchen with lingering fear, especially since he almost died in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, making him break into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
The strength of the ancient beasts far exceeded expectations. Even those in the mythological realm were nothing more than toys to be casually torn apart in their presence.
If he hadn’t been well-prepared, using slaves as a diversion in the end, he would have lost his chance to survive and would have ended up in the belly of the Windhorn Beast long ago.
"Lingchen, you did very well. These three ancient beast eggs are of great significance to our Ji Clan. Do not have ideas about the Barbaric Wilderness Forest for the time being, to avoid angering the most powerful presence within," Ji Changtian said.
Ji Lingchen nodded. "I understand."
"You can come at any time to comprehend the wind rule from these three ancient beast eggs. This is very beneficial to your strength enhancement. Comprehending the Rule Power from these ancient beast eggs is dozens of times faster than your own hard cultivation," Ji Changtian said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingchen’s eyes lit up, realizing it meant he would soon be able to comprehend the wind rule.
"Thank you, Clan Leader," Ji Lingchen thanked.
No one knew about the Ji Clan stealing the Windhorn Beast eggs, and even if someone did, they were all buried in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. The Windhorn Beast erupted with energy, destroying everything around it and finally glaring in the direction where Ji Lingchen had disappeared.
It forever remembered the aura of the thief who dared to steal its offspring.
...
The discussions among the mid-tier ancient clans led to no conclusion, as when it came to the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, most people felt a deep sense of awe and deemed it mysterious and untouchable.
However, yesterday’s earth-shattering roar stirred interest in some individuals.
They felt that while the Barbaric Wilderness Forest was dangerous, it was also full of opportunities.
After all, it was an uncharted land. Besides powerful ancient beasts, what else might lie within? No one knew.
Though many people remained apprehensive and dared not disturb the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, it didn’t stop some from harboring small-minded thoughts about it.
Yet some immediately warned people not to head to the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, as angering the mythical beasts within would bring disaster to the ancient land.
In any case, the opinions about the Barbaric Wilderness Forest were varied and chaotic, leaving people unsure of what was true or false.
Discussions about the Barbaric Wilderness Forest caught Mu Tianxing’s attention in regards to his Mu Clan, because he worried that if more people started focusing on the Barbaric Deep Forest, and the Mu Clan’s actions were exposed, it would be ruined, leading the Stone Clan and Ji Clan to intervene for sure.
"It seems we must speed things up, lest we regret it later," Mu Tianxing decided to invest more members of the Mu Clan into exploring the Crystal Stone veins.
Inside the Ji Clan, Ji Changtian listened to the butler’s report on the external news, especially hearing about the Mu Clan suppressing discussions about the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. Ji Changtian was a bit surprised: "This Mu Clan is interesting, indeed taking initiative to suppress the narrative about the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. Old butler, have you noticed any suspicious actions from the Mu Clan?" novelbuddy.cσ๓
The butler replied, "The Mu Clan is very quiet. Neither the young disciples nor the elder elites have made any moves."
Ji Changtian’s gaze shifted. "The Mu Clan seems too quiet. They wouldn’t do something without reason; the Mu Clan must be engaged in actions we can’t see..."
...
In one corner of the ancient land. In the courtyard.
Jin Shanshun shared all the gathered information with Ye Qiu, who couldn’t help but ask, "San Shun, do you think that roar of the ancient beast might be related to those slaves the Ji Clan bought?"
He still couldn’t figure out what purpose the Ji Clan had in buying those slaves and sending them to the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.
"Hard to say. The Ji Clan’s actions are indeed enigmatic, making it difficult for anyone to guess. But I heard rumors that Ji Lingchen suddenly appeared, while those who went to the ancient land with him, including Ji Chuan, haven’t shown up. Perhaps they angered that ancient beast."
Ye Qiu showed a perplexed expression: "Why would the Ji Clan go and provoke ancient beasts for no good reason? Aren’t they afraid of enraging the ancient beasts and causing a beast tide?"
