Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four: The Feathered's Hospitality, the Magic Well, and the Symbolism of the Scepter
Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu followed Yan Bo and went straight to the Yuren tribe.
Along the way, I also learned a lot about the feather people.
For example, the current Yuren clan is basically divided into two factions, one is headed by the current Yuren clan chief, and the other is headed by the awakened ancient Yuren Tianjiao Jue Tianlan.
Although there is no conflict between the two factions on the surface, they are also competing with each other in the dark.
Yan Bo belongs to the faction of the Yuren patriarch. This time he came to Lan Yu, not only to save the Yuren clan, but also to win over the other party and find a genius who can compete with Jue Tianlan for his own side.
Chu Kuangren was not very surprised by this situation.
The awakening of the ancient Tianjiao is a good thing for some forces, but it will also have an impact on internal forces.
In particular, the feathered race is said to be stronger than the sage sages, and it is weaker than the supreme sages.
They need a supreme genius to lead the Dao lineage to promotion in the future, but this ancient genius has been sleeping for many years and has no deep feelings for the existing Dao lineage, so naturally they have to take certain risks.
Soon, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu came to the Yuren tribe's territory.
It was an incomparably huge city. The buildings in the city were quite distinctive. Most of them were dome designs, mainly white.
Pedestrians come and go in the city. In addition to the feather people, there are also many foreign merchants, monks, etc., which are very lively.
When I came to the center of the city, there was a white palace, with guards in armor patrolling back and forth, and the guards were very strict.
"Lan Yu, you are finally here."
When he came to the palace, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a white robe and white temples met several people.
This middle-aged man is the current Yuren patriarch.
"I've seen the patriarch." Lan Yu saluted slightly, even if she didn't want to return to the Feather Clan, she still felt a touch of kindness when she saw so many of her fellow clan.
Behind the Yuren patriarch, there are many elders, young heroes in the clan, all of them looked at Lan Yu and were very curious.
After all, there was a supreme Taoist body suddenly in their clan, but no one knew about it. This was a very strange thing.
Not to mention, this clan also holds the scepter of light, which is the supreme authority recorded in the classics of their clan.
But soon, everyone's eyes were attracted by Chu Kuangren next to Lan Yu, and all of them were surprised.
Even in the Yuren clan, which is rich in handsome men and beautiful women, Chu Kuangren's appearance and temperament are still outstanding, and no one can compare.
"Who is this person, is he also a feather?"
"No, he doesn't have the breath of a feathered man."
"But he looks even better than our Yuren. He came with Lan Yu. I know, he is Chu Kuangren."
"It should be him."
A group of feathered people whispered, and while everyone was looking at Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren was also looking at them.
It is said that in addition to being rich in handsome men and beauties, the feather people are also good at fighting. He took a look and found that each of them had a certain sturdy aura, and they were definitely not comparable to those pampered geniuses.
In addition, he also noticed that even though Lan Yu belongs to the Yuren family, his appearance is somewhat different from ordinary Yuren.
Ordinary feathered people, even the feathered patriarch, except for the extra pair of wings, the rest are no different from ordinary people.
On the contrary, Lan Yu, silver-white long hair, sapphire-like eyes, and divine and bright temperament, all made her add a strange beauty to this group of outstanding feathered people, which was particularly attractive.
The corners of Chu Kuangren's mouth twitched slightly, and there was an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.
Sure enough, his Lan Yu was the best looking wherever he went.
"Presumably this is Senior Brother Xuantian." The Yuren Patriarch walked in front of Chu Kuangren and saluted slightly, not daring to neglect.
"The patriarch is polite."
"You're welcome, fellow Daoist Chu, I have already prepared a banquet for you," the Yuren patriarch said with a smile.
A banquet was held in the palace, and all the elders of the Yuren tribe were present, including the Young Emperor Jue Tian Lan.
Jue Tianlan, who was born in Yuren, naturally needless to say about his appearance. Among the people Chu Kuangren has ever met, he is definitely the most handsome.
Except for him, of course.
Jue Tianlan was also very surprised. He glanced at Chu Kuangren more at the banquet, but he didn't expect that there was a man better looking than him in this world?
Thinking of this, Jue Tianlan felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially when he saw Lan Yu's docile and well-behaved appearance beside Chu Kuangren, a nameless anger surged in his heart.
You must know that when he went to find Lan Yu, the other party treated him with a cold look, how could there be any tenderness towards Chu Kuangren?
"Lan Yu, it's great that you can figure it out and return to the feathered clan. In the future, you and I will join forces to make the feathered clan reach a whole new level. I toast you." Jue Tianlan restrained his heart towards Chu Kuangren. Feeling jealous, he raised his glass and smiled lightly at Lan Yu.
But Lan Yu didn't raise her glass. She said, "I came to the Yuren Clan to solve the magic well. After the matter is over, I will leave. Leading the Yuren Clan is up to you and the patriarch."
These words made all the elders present look different.
"Ha, let's talk about Lan Yu later. She's right, and now it's better to stabilize the magic well first." Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was a little dignified, the Yuren patriarch quickly said in a rounded manner.
After the banquet, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu stayed in the palace for one night, and the next day they went to the purpose of their trip... the magic well!
The so-called magic well is not a real well, but a space crack. It is called a magic well because it connects the hell and the devil world.
The magic well guarded by the feathered clan was on an altar in the palace, suppressed by four stone pillars engraved with runes.
This stone pillar contains the power of the former Holy King of Light, but due to unknown reasons, this power has been greatly weakened, and this requires the Holy King's former weapon, the Light Scepter, to restore it.
"Lan Yu, trouble you."
A Yuren elder looked at Lan Yu solemnly and said.
He is the keeper of this altar, but it is said that a few days ago, due to a problem with the altar formation, the magic well was restless. He was seriously injured in order to suppress the magic well, and he has not yet fully recovered.
As for how to restore the power of the formation, he had already told Lan Yu on the way.
"Well, I will do my best." Lan Yu nodded, then flashed his figure, spread his wings and flew to the altar.
When she took out the scepter of light, an aura of divine light came out of her, which moved everyone present.
"That is the scepter of light, the weapon of the holy king in the past."
"It is said that this scepter symbolizes the supreme authority of our feathered race. Whoever holds the scepter can command the feathered race."
"This is only because the ancestors have great respect for the Holy King of Light, so there is such a statement, but this scepter is a holy king's weapon, and it is true that its power is infinite."
"yes."
All the feathered clan and even the feathered patriarch looked at the scepter of light in Lan Yu's hand, and their eyes were full of fiery colors.
Chu Kuangren watched from the side, frowning slightly.
A holy piece of artifact is enough to make a sage Taoist feel heartbroken, not to mention that this scepter of light has a symbolic meaning for the feathered people. Will these people really let Lan Yu leave easily?
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chu Kuangren's eyes, hoping that these people would not do such useless actions, otherwise he would be blamed for being ruthless.
