Chapter 2141: Clan Head Long Zhan
Chapter 2141: Clan Head Long Zhan
“Chen Feng, enter!” With a loud shout, it was finally time for Chen Feng to appear in front of the Clan Head.
Chen Feng tidied his clothes and walked inside with Zhao Hai. The mansion was very beautiful. The entire floor was paved with white marble. On both sides of the road leading to the main hall were two rows of cultivators with their hands on the handle of their knives. These cultivators were all in the Earth Monarch Stage. The lineup wasn’t weak.
The cultivators were wearing dark blue clothing and the weapons on their sides were swords that represented the water element. They weren’t looking at Zhao Hai and Chen Feng, but Chen Feng still felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees.
Although Chen Feng wasn’t a cultivator, he was also a person who had witnessed multiple things. He knew that the drop in temperature was because of the killing aura of the cultivators. The only reason he could maintain his composure was because the killing aura wasn’t directed at him.
As Zhao Hai walked beside Chen Feng, he looked at the two rows of cultivators and didn’t feel anything. Compared to his own killing aura, these cultivators still fall short.
Zhao Hai’s expression was naturally noticed by the cultivators. They were confused at his nonchalance. It must be known that although they didn’t reach the Teleportation Stage, their strengths weren’t actually bad. They were the foreign troops of the Long Clan, so they spent all year-round fighting. Their experience was richer compared to most cultivators. If they faced Teleportation Stage Cultivators, even if they couldn’t win, they would still be able to escape.
Because of the number of battles they experienced, their killing aura was quite thick. Most cultivators would be terrified by their aura. Chen Feng might look calm on the surface, but his heart was actually beating hard; he was afraid.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hai’s expression was calm. It looked like he completely disregarded these people. His calm demeanor affected Chen Feng, which miraculously calmed him down.
Before long, the two of them arrived in front of the main hall. The area was a huge square. It was used as a martial arts training ground and could also be used as a last line of defense to guard the main hall. To enter the main hall from the square, one would need to walk up 50 steps.
The two stood under the steps. Chen Feng turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ming, wait for me here. I’ll go see the Clan Head.” Zhao Hai nodded and didn’t speak. He just stood there with his eyes slightly closed as if he was about to fall asleep.
At this time, Chen Feng arrived at the top of the stairs. Then a voice was heard, “Chen Feng, proceed.”
Chen Feng immediately replied, “Yes!” Then he walked towards the main hall.
When Chen Feng walked through the door of the main hall, he saw several tables inside. There was nothing on the tables, only a few cultivators sitting down. Chen Feng knew that these cultivators were also shopkeepers of the Long Clan’s business.
Inside the hall was a high platform that was three meters wide and six meters high. On the platform was a throne with a person sitting on top of it. The person’s figure wasn’t big. He doesn’t look young, and he had white hair and lowered eyes. It was as if he was about to fall asleep. This person who was old and had drooping eyes was the Clan Head of the Long Clan. The true head of the dragon, Long Zhan.
Chen Feng quickly bowed and said, “Chen Feng Sees the Clan Head. Wishing the Clan Head the blessing of the sea of stars as well as the longevity of the sun and the moon!”
The old man waved his hand and didn’t say anything. Chen Feng was already used to this. He stood up and opened his spatial bag. He took out a small item wrapped with a yellow cloth wrapper. Then he held the item with both of his hands and offered it to the Clan Head.
Everyone present saw Chen Feng’s present and couldn’t help but stare. Usually, when someone presents their gift, they would introduce it. Moreover, their gifts would look magnificent at first look. Meanwhile, Chen Feng offered a small yellow cloth wrapped item. From the size of the present, it was no smaller than a spirit stone. Naturally, nobody would believe that Chen Feng would offer a spirit stone. If he dared to give a spirit stone to the Clan Head, he would be immediately expelled from the Long Clan.
Everyone’s vision focused on Chen Feng. Despite the gazes towards him, Chen Feng didn’t say anything. Instead, he continued to hold his present up. Chen Feng’s actions caused the Clan Head to be surprised. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Feng. Then he waved his hand. A cultivator beside the Clan Head received the cloth wrapped gift and placed it on a tray.
The Clan Head looked at the small yellow wrapper and knit his brows. After so many years, he has seen all kinds of gifts on his birthday. There were some who thought they were smart and gave inconspicuous gifts, wanting to attract his attention. However, those fellows were immediately sent to the outermost seats. The Clan Head hated people who thought they were smart. If Chen Feng’s gift didn’t satisfy him, he wouldn’t mind kicking Chen Feng out of the clan.
The Clan Head took the cloth wrapper and pinched it lightly. Feeling a square item inside, he couldn’t help but pause. Then he slowly opened the gift.
When the wrapper was fully unraveled, the Clan Head was shocked. Then his two eyes opened fully as he carefully held the item inside. He turned the item inside and saw the carving of a coiling dragon. The Clan Head’s expression couldn’t help but become sad. He caressed the seal gently with his other hand. Then tears began to flow down his eyes.
Chen Feng remained emotionless below. He knew what would happen after he delivered the seal, so he wasn’t surprised at all. He just stood quietly and waited.
After some time, the Clan Head placed the seal down and turned his head towards Chen Feng, then he said, “When did you find it?”
Chen Feng carefully replied, “Replying to the Clan Head, five days ago.”
The Clan Head nodded, “Who found it?”
Chen Feng replied, “A Guest Elder of the Blackwood Group, his name is Zhao Ming. He stayed in the Mountain of Demon Beasts for three months. Near the end of his stay, he helped a group of Mischievous Monkeys who gifted him a snakeskin. The seal is inside the snakeskin.”
The Patriarch replied, “Did you bring Zhao Ming here?”
Chen Feng nodded, “He’s waiting outside the mansion.”
“Invite him in!” Chen Feng didn’t say anything because it was no longer his turn to speak. Naturally, someone from outside the hall shouted, “Elder Zhao Ming of the Blackwood Group, please enter!”
The people inside the hall quickly understood what was going on. All of them were old men in the Long Clan. They were very familiar with the sensitive words of the Long Clan, one of these was the Mountain of Demon Beasts.”
The Long Clan would send people to the Mountain of Demon Beasts every year to look for the seal. It can be said that there was only one thing that connected the Long Clan and the Mountain of Demon Beasts, and that was the seal.
But now, the Clan Head mentioned the Mountain of Demon Beasts. Moreover, it was clear that the Clan Head was holding a seal. Even a stupid person would know what gift Chen Feng brought. Everyone’s look towards Chen Feng immediately changed.
At this time, Zhao Hai entered the main hall. After entering, Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, “I have seen Clan Head Long Zhang. I wish the Clan Head a long life and all the luck in the world.”
Long Zhan looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Are you the one who found the seal in the Mountain of Demon Beasts? Tell me how you found it. Don’t miss any details.
Zhao Hai complied and told him about his experience in the Mountain of Demon Beasts. However, he didn’t say that he used liquid silver dust to find the seal. Instead, he told the Clan Head that he used a beast that he subdued to find the seal. This allowed him to scour all the routes in three months. And when he found nothing, he went further into the mountain.
After Zhao Hai retold his journey, Long Zhan said, “Release your beast, let me see it.” Zhao Hai complied and released a small insect.
Long Zhan looked at the small insect and couldn’t help but frown, “How many of these do you have?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I don’t know, I can’t count them all. What I subdued is their queen. Every bug produced by the queen can be controlled by me. And as long as there are enough spirit stones, the queen can keep producing bugs.”
Long Zhan nodded, “What made you think that you should enter deeper into the mountain? Over the years, I deliberately leaked the map to others, hoping to use their strength to find the seal. Unfortunately, they failed year after year. Those routes have been considered to have the most probability of having the seal. Why do you think that you can’t find the seal there?”
The Clan Head’s question caused Chen Feng and the others to stare. They didn’t think that the map was released by the Clan Head himself. However, this was no longer important. The seal has been found.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I’m actually not confident. What I know is that the routes have already been searched for many years, yet the seal has yet to be found. I’m afraid every inch of land on those routes have been turned over. In my mind, it can only mean one thing, the seal wasn’t there.”
“I was already running out of time, so I thought that if I didn’t go deeper into the mountain, then I would get nothing. Instead of wasting time on the periphery, it’s better to go deeper into the mountain.”
“Actually, I have already given up by the end. I was already thinking about using the transmission formation to return to Roaring Flame City. But in the end, I felt a bit unwilling. Additionally, I want to collect plants. Since I’m already in the Mountain of Demon Beasts, I collected some plants to see how they differ from the plants outside.”
“Then by the end, I luckily rescued a group of Mischievous Monkeys and obtained the seal.”
Long Zhan nodded and said, “You’re a smart and brave lad. Calm and composed as well. Good, the two of you can dine in the main hall.” After saying that, the Clan Head waved his hand. Then a cultivator invited Zhao Hai and Chen Feng to seats inside the main hall. This caused the others inside the hall to look at them.
