Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 767 - 766: The Attack Was Still Too Light

The Clan Leader Xiao Mingli’s laughter became more and more feeble, eventually turning into a hollow chuckle.

The venerable Black Feather extended a claw and clutched at Clan Leader Xiao’s shoulder, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at a dead body.

"Ancestor... there are outsiders present, let’s not make a spectacle for others to mock."

Clan Leader Xiao used Lu Yang and the others as a shield.

Usually very concerned with face, the venerable Black Feather couldn’t care less at this moment and grabbed Clan Leader Xiao by the neck.

Lu Yang, skilled in learning, took inspiration from Clan Leader Xiao’s storytelling and had taken out a Recording Orb early, hoping to capture the last moments of Clan Leader Xiao’s life.

Unfortunately, the venerable Black Feather gave no opportunity, directly dragging Clan Leader Xiao to his higher-layered nest.

Soon, the skies above the Kunpeng Clan were filled with piercing cries of birds. All the Kunpeng clansmen stopped their work, looking up at the skies with puzzlement, not understanding where these bird cries were coming from.

Suddenly, the cries of the birds stopped abruptly.

Clan Leader Xiao died pursuing the desires of his heart, a fitting end.

"Cough cough, the ancestor really doesn’t hold back, eh? Knocked me out cold in the end," Clan Leader Xiao staggered back after the piercing cries stopped, his face swollen and bruised with gold feathers sticking out of his head.

"Dunno how long I was out cold."

"Clan Leader Xiao, are you alright? The venerable Black Feather was too harsh," Meng Jingzhou asked deliberately out of politeness.

"Surviving means I’m alright. Just bad luck this time, got caught by the ancestor exposing weaknesses. So many in the clan know about the ancestor’s past issues, why doesn’t he lecture them?" said Clan Leader Xiao resentfully.

"Everyone in the Kunpeng Clan knows about the venerable Black Feather’s past?"

"Of course." Clan Leader Xiao confidently said, "I ask them if they know about the ancestor’s matters, and for those who say they don’t, I recount the whole story to them."

Meng Jingzhou gasped, thinking that the venerable Black Feather had been too lenient.

Lu Yang guessed that Clan Leader Xiao’s strength could place him second in the Kunpeng Clan.

If anyone were ranked lower, the venerable Black Feather wouldn’t have left them alive.

Indeed, Lu Yang’s guess was correct; in the Kunpeng Clan, Clan Leader Xiao’s strength was second only to the venerable Black Feather, stronger than the elder Kunpengs.

"Originally, I was prepared to personally show you around the Kunpeng Clan as a gesture of hospitality," Clan Leader Xiao rubbed his face with a grimace, "but with these injuries on my face, it won’t heal in a moment. Wearing a mask while showing you around wouldn’t be proper."

"Xinghai, stop cultivating and come here for a moment," Clan Leader Xiao sent a message to his son.

Soon, a golden-winged great Peng bird, dozens of zhang tall, landed at Clan Leader Xiao’s doorstep. Seeing his father transform into human form, he too took on human shape—a handsome blond young man with azure eyes.

"This is my youngest son, Xiao Xinghai."

Xiao Xinghai was startled to see his father bruised and battered, "Dad, what happened to you?"

"It’s nothing, just took a fall."

"Fell on the Black Tortoise shell of the Xuanwu Clan?"

"Scram, scram, scram! Don’t ask what you shouldn’t," Clan Leader Xiao raged, wanting to give this little Kun brat a thrashing.

"These six are friends from the Dao Seeking Sect. They are about your age. Entertain them in my stead."

In the territory of the Kunpeng Clan, Lu Yang and the others dared not offend the venerable Black Feather and posed as disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

"The Dao Seeking Sect, one of the Five Immortal Sects of Great Xia?" Xiao Xinghai was quite surprised.

Only a week had passed since the Vast Sea Daoist Lord and the Master of All Laws had clashed, and news of the Dao Seeking Sect possessing a Semi-Immortal had yet to reach the Kunpeng Clan, deep in the northern parts of the East Sea.

If Xiao Xinghai knew, he would be even more astonished.

"Then do you recognize Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou?"

"I am Lu Yang, and this is my junior brother Meng Jingzhou," Lu Yang introduced first.

"That’s not right, the two of you don’t look like that in the portraits."

"Our Seek Dao Sect has quite a few enemies in the East Sea, so we’ve disguised ourselves."

Xiao Xinghai recalled the bounties on eight of the nine disciples of the Seek Dao Sect and understood Lu Yang’s meaning.

"Well, let’s go, I’ll take you around."

Meeting the renowned geniuses of the Great Xia, Xiao Xinghai was extremely excited, volunteering to transform into a golden-winged bird and carry Lu Yang and the others."

The golden feathers, like glaze and gold, shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Having left the Clan Leader’s home, seated on Xiao Xinghai’s back, everyone finally had the chance to witness the living environment of the Kunpeng Clan.

Whole groves of seeker trees took root in the East Sea, some thousands or tens of thousands of feet high, half submerged in the sea and half emerging above it, with dense branches interlocking to form a canopy that shielded the sunlight above, offering a cool and pleasant shade beneath.

The Kunpeng Clan had two types of dwellings, one being a hollowed-out section of a seeker tree, the other a constructed bird’s nest.

The Clan Leader’s home belonged to the former.

Due to the enormous size of the Kunpeng people, their dwellings were also ridiculously large; the entrance of tree hollows was generally several dozens of feet high, making Lu Yang and his companions feel as if they had wandered into a land of ancient giants.

Occasionally, large peng birds flew past them, casting curious glances their way.

"Prepare to enter the sea!" Xiao Xinghai warned loudly, his feathers transforming into golden scales, like the legendary golden dragon.

Riding on the golden Kun’s back, Lu Yang and the others clung to the dorsal fins; cold seawater came from every direction, engulfing them, yet their Water-Repelling Pearls activated, negating the pressure of the water, allowing them to move freely under the sea.

Under the sea was a completely different scene from above. Countless large Kuns swam through the water, with many even bigger than Xiao Xinghai—although their scales were not as perfect as his.

Clearly, there were more Kun fish than peng birds.

"Most of our clan really enjoys living underwater," explained Xiao Xinghai.

Besides Kun fish, there were many other Sea Clan members here. They were from nearby clans coming to the Kunpeng Clan’s Sea City to trade goods.

The scale of Sea City was comparable to that on Penglai Island, and from this one could tell that the Kunpeng Clan deserved their reputation as one of the ten great races of the East Sea.

This was a place that neither Qin Haoran nor Su Yiren had ever visited. It was a feast for the eyes, and Tao Yaoye watched intently, thinking of using it as a scene for Dream Mirage in the future.

She fell from the ship, and Elder Brother Lu Yang dived into the sea. As she stopped breathing, he kissed her, passing air to her, creating such a beautiful scene.

"Elder Brother Lu Yang, if I fell into the sea, would you save me?"

Lu Yang looked at Tao Yaoye up and down in surprise, seeing her moving with ease in the water and not understanding why she asked such a question.

"Junior Sister, have you also taken in some water in your head?"

"...I mean I want to use the East Sea as a backdrop to shoot a Dream Mirage. There’s a scene where I fall into the sea and you come to save me."

Lu Yang suddenly realized and said excitedly, "So that’s it. Then, junior sister, as you fall into the sea, certainly the East Sea Dragon Clan would be to blame. After I save you, I would battle the East Sea Dragon Clan for three hundred rounds, pulling out the dragons’ tendons.

Then, to seek revenge on me, the Dragon Clan would try to flood Penglai Island, and I would bravely appear, sacrificing myself before the Dragon Clan."

"Later, Eldest Senior Sister would appear, gathering my three souls and seven spirits, creating a body from lotus roots, and I would be resurrected through the lotus root body, causing an uproar in the Dragon Clan and restoring peace to the East Sea."

"Is that how you want to film it, junior sister?"

"...And what about me?"

Man Gu, who was listening on the side, was puzzled: "Weren’t you already saved?"
