Chapter 216: Green Copper Relic Gu
The once vibrant Mount Qing Mao had turned into a world of ice and snow. Such changes have long attracted the attention and investigation of nearby forces. In these few months, news of the destroyed Qing Mao mountain had gradually spread far.
“I dare not remember it, every time I think about it, it feels very painful.” Fang Yuan sat down, his face full of sadness.
“Servant, bring the wine.” Seeing that Fang Yuan was unwilling to speak, the leader of the Bai clan did not take issue with it, but ordered his servants to bring two barrels of wine.
Bai Ning Bing did not care, she never drank wine, only water.
Fang Yuan immediately opened the seal, swallowed and drank a mouthful as his tears fell once more.
Clan leader Bai was stunned: “Junior, why are you crying again?”
“Wine your clan is intoxicating, but it makes me remember our green bamboo wine and the days when I drank on Qing Mao mountain.” Fang Yuan wiped his tears as he said.
******* clan elders became louder, and many began to comfort Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's meeting made them feel a sense of resonance. After all, the Bai clan spirit spring started to dry up, and if they were unable to find a new spirit spring, the miserable state of the Gu Yue clan would be the future of their Bai clan.
Clan leader Bai comforted him once more, only then did Fang Yuan stop crying.
“Who does not feel pain when their house is destroyed? I can understand junior's feelings. But as long as people remain, there is still hope. Junior, don't be sad. I'm sure in a few days, you'll be reunited with you, a clan member. “Bai Mo Xing investigate.
Fang Yuan acted as if he was unconscious, wiped his tears and replied casually: “Yes, it will happen in a few days.”
Hearing this answer, clan leaders Bai Mo Xing and Bai looked at each other.
After the banquet, the leader of the Bai clan called Bai Mo Xing and entered a secret discussion.
“Clan leader, bad situation. Gu Yue Village was destroyed, why did these remaining people come to Bai Gu mountain? Chances are they want to seize this territory, should we attack first?” Bai Mo Xing was worried.
“Hehehe.” The female leader of the Bai clan instead laughed lightly.
Bai Mo Xing was confused: “Why did the clan leader laugh?”
The female clan leader narrowed her eyes and explained: “Don't be rash, Elder Mo Xing, this situation has advantages and disadvantages. As long as we operate well, we can save a lot of manpower.”
Bai Mo Xing began to ponder the words of the clan leader deeply.
Absolutely right!
The Bai clan spirit spring dried up after many years of use. They needed to find a new spirit spring as soon as possible, and this time they were looking for a suitable spring on Bai Gu mountain under the shade of the hunt.
The main group of the Bai clan had just arrived and had yet to find anything. But if the remnants of the Gu Yue clan came to Bai Gu mountain, they should know some intel.
It could even be concluded that the Gu Yue clan definitely held information about that spirit spring.
Clan Leader Bai saw Bai Mo Xing's expression change and continued: “It seems you understand. In fact, any large mountain was a collection of primordial essence, and thus spirit springs would be there. But to find the specific location of the spirit spring, it was not easy and required a lot of manpower and resources. “
“There are Fang, Liao and Fan clans around our Bai clan, they are all powerful clans with the same strength. If the matter regarding the springs of our Bai clan dries up, they will take advantage of the situation and attack our weakness, he said, so we decided beforehand that we should secretly find the location of the spirit spring under the guise of a hunting competition. But by doing this, we were severely restricted and had to expend more energy and resources to search for spirit springs. “
The leader of the Bai clan was full of worries, but could not express his helplessness.
Bai Mo Xing continued: “So, the clan leader wants to get information about the spirit springs of the Gu Yue clan?”
“It's true.” Clan leader Bai nodded, his eyes shining brightly: “Leader and clan elder Gu Yue will not be easy to deal with, but with two young people in our control? This is a chance of blessing!”
Bai Mo Xing frowned: “But, I saw that both of them were not stupid. The girl was clearly one of the iron-willed stubborn types, while the youngster, though weak, was unaffected in dangerous situations, behaving calmly in every meeting. The first time we met, even when he was surrounded by us, he did not show the slightest hint of panic. It won't be easy if we want them to divulge information. “
Clan leader Bai chuckled: “If he doesn't have such composure, how will he become the young master of the clan? These two young masters are amazing, but if not, I will doubt their identity.”
Bai Mo Xing continued: “So, you should think twice about the clan leader. If we interrogate them forcefully, they might not submit to us. With the traces they left behind, the Gu Yue clan was about to come. This was the desperate type of person with nothing to lose, except their lives. “
Clan leader Bai waved his hand: “That's no worry, clan elder, I have a plan.”
“Oh? This old one will listen.”
Clan leader Bai said it gently while Bai Mo Xing's old eyes continued to become brighter.
After clan leader Bai finished, Bai Mo Xing could only praise: “This is a good plan! I saw that Gu Yue Fang Zheng was very attached to his clan, he even cried twice for his clan at the banquet. He chases all the young people, the clan leaders, these plans you make are like putting honey in front of a young bear or placing a carrot in front of a young rabbit. There will be no problem getting him hooked. “

Fang Yuan opened the corner of the tent cover.
It was already night time, but the temporary camp of the Bai clan was brightly lit.
“Young Master Fang Zheng, what's up?” Fang Yuan had just opened the lid, and the two guards at the door immediately walked over.
Fang Yuan belched a little wine: “I drank a lot of wine at the banquet, is there where I can pee?”
“Young Master, this way. You are our honored guest, the clan leader has arranged a special place for you, no more than thirty steps away.” One of the guards immediately said.
“Give me directions, I don't like anyone near me while peeing.” Fang Yuan refused.
“I do not dare to violate the orders of young master, the wooden toilet is there.” The guard pointed at him, bowed and left.
Fang Yuan got to the wooden toilet, and after peeing, he pretended to be sleepy and walked in the opposite direction. He hadn't even even turned twenty steps when some patrolling Gu Masters came: “Honourable guest, it was the wrong direction, your tent was there.”
“Is that? I remember it was there.” Fang Yuan burped.
“Honored guests, please pass here.” Master gu of the Bai clan smiled hypocritically, with a firm tone.
Fang Yuan was brought back to the tent again.
In the tent, the lights are on.
There were two beds on the east and west sides inside the tent. Bai Ning Bing was sitting on her bed and cultivating, using the primordial essence to nurture her aperture.
Hearing Fang Yuan enter, he opened his eyes, asking with his gaze.
Fang Yuan glanced at him, before falling onto the bed: “Ning Bing, go to bed early. You've been exhausted these few days. Don't worry, we will join our clan in a few days.”
His words were vague at the end, and he finally closed his eyes, snoring, apparently asleep.
Bai Ning Bing's pupils shrank. He knew Fang Yuan was acting, deliberately saying it was a precaution against the surveillance-type Gu worm. He had come out early to urinate, but returned so early which meant the area was tightly secured and it was impossible for them to escape quietly in the darkness.
He couldn't help but worry. Even though he was at the rank three peak stage, his Gu worm was not optimal, causing his battle power to be insufficient.
While in this camp, the leader of the Bai clan was ranked fourth, and there were five to six clan elders, and many rank two Gu masters.
“Become meat on someone's cutting board.” That's the current situation. Even though the Bai clan was a godly faction, people died for good luck and birds died for food, once the benefits exceeded the risks, they would definitely commit murder in secret.
Bai Ning Bing knew that the Gu worms Fang Yuan possessed were all extremely rare. The heavenly treasure lotus, Gu's blood skull, once it opened, would definitely attract the greed of clan Master Bai Gu.
The reason they had yet to act was because Fang Yuan used the threat from the Gu Yue clan that was not around for a while to lie to them.
A few days later, when they did not see the Gu Yue clan members arrive, they would be suspicious. Back then, Fang Yuan and him would be in a difficult position.
“How do I get out of this difficulty?” Bai Ning Bing frowned, looking at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had already turned around, his back was facing towards him, and he seemed to have completely fallen asleep due to the sound of his relaxed breathing.
“You sure relax!” Bai Ning Bing snorted, feeling anxious and helpless in her heart.
————————————————– ————
The next day . It was a bright day.
There were three loud drum beats that signified the leader of the Bai clan calling the clan members.
“Our Bai clan's annual hunting competition starts from today and will continue for the next seven days, it's time for you to show your strength. According to our rules, those who get a decent ranking will be given a huge reward! Next, please show all your courage and strength. “
Clan leader Bai waved his hand, and the village gate opened. Master Gu was eager to start the competition, rushing out impatiently.
Not long after, they entered the forest from their respective positions, disappearing into the wilderness.
The crowded camp became wider and empty.
“Junior Fang Zheng, did you sleep well last night?” Clan leader Bai turned around, asking Fang Yuan with a smile.
Fang Yuan cupped his fists: “Thank you clan leader for his hospitality. Last night I went straight to sleep after lying down, and it was morning when I woke up.”
“Hahaha.” Clan leader Bai smiled, patting Fang Yuan on the shoulder, giving off a kind and affectionate feeling: “Does junior want to enter our clan hunting competition? Let's see the courage of a member of the Gu Yue clan!”
Fang Yuan showed a difficult expression, rejecting: “I am ashamed! Junior was seriously injured not too long ago, and my cultivation dropped from rank three. Thankfully I was saved by the clan, but now I only have a rank one intermediate cultivation. “
Even without Fang Yuan mentioning it, his rank one aura was clearly in the eyes.
“Do not worry junior. As an honored guest of our clan, you will definitely be treated well. How about this, as long as junior can hunt an adult black bear, Gu's green copper relic will be your reward.” Clan leader Bai patted his hand, and Gu Master beside him opened his palm, as Gu shaped a round ball the size of a finger appeared.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, but showed an earnest expression: “Then this junior will accept his invitation!”
