Chapter 477 - 194: Structure, Departure

Chapter 477: Chapter 194: Structure, Departure

The tribe was about the same size as a small County Town.

In addition to multi-story pavilions, there were also grassland-style yurts.

There were also merchants selling their wares within the tribe.

The system of trade was also well-established.

It also used gold and silver as the main currency.

Fang Xing also bought a few local specialties, just some small trinkets.

"Young Master Fang."

Just as he finished looking around and was preparing to head back, a voice called out.

Fang Xing stopped, and Haji, who was beside him, also looked over.

A striking figure came into view.

Yun Shu!

She had changed her clothes, giving her a different kind of charm.

"Sister Yun!"

Looking at Yun Shu, Haji greeted her with a smile.

Yun Shu came forward and performed a salute unique to the tribe toward Fang Xing.

"Young Master Fang, thank you for going easy on me yesterday."

"You jest, Miss Yun. I was merely pulling my punches," Fang Xing said with a smile.

??

Nearby, Haji listened to their exchange with a look of astonishment.

’Going easy on her? Pulling his punches?’

’What was going on?’

’Could it be that the two of them have fought before?!’

One thought after another flashed through Haji’s mind. As he looked at Fang Xing, a wave of shock washed over him.

Yun Shu was the number one genius of their Profound Wind Tribe, her power second only to the Great Chieftain and the High Priest.

’It looked like Yun Shu must have lost to Fang Xing.’

’His strength is even more terrifying than I imagined!’

"Young Master Fang, this is some information I’ve collected about the Underground Cave. Perhaps it will be of some help to you."

Yun Shu took out a file and handed it to Fang Xing.

Looking at the file, Fang Xing was a bit surprised, but he didn’t refuse. Understanding more about the Underground Cave would make him more confident.

"Thank you."

Fang Xing nodded and put the file away for the time being.

Yun Shu looked at him and blinked. "Young Master Fang, do you have time right now? How about coming to my home as a guest?"

"Well..." Fang Xing hesitated, glancing at Haji beside him.

At that moment, Haji was staring at Yun Shu with wide eyes.

’Is this still the Sister Yun I know?!’

’When did she become so gentle?’

"Haji, you want to be a guest at my home too, right?" Yun Shu said, looking at Haji with a beaming smile.

Their eyes met, and Haji shivered involuntarily.

"Ah... Um... Well..."

"Hm? You don’t want to?" Yun Shu asked, still smiling radiantly at Haji.

Sensing an "icy aura," Haji involuntarily swallowed. "Ah, right, right, right! I was just planning to go with Brother Fang to see Sister Yun’s home."

"Right, Brother Fang?" Haji shifted his gaze to Fang Xing.

"..."

Since things had come to this, Fang Xing felt it would be rude to refuse and could only nod.

After all, he still had to go with Yun Shu to the Longevity Hall to enter the Underground Cave, so he couldn’t afford to sour their relationship.

Seeing Fang Xing nod, Yun Shu’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. "This way, Young Master Fang!"

And so, Fang Xing and Haji followed Yun Shu to her home.

Before long, Yun Shu had led the two of them to her home.

Just as they arrived, a girl who looked to be in her early teens hurried forward.

She had rosy cheeks, her hair was tied in pigtails, and her eyes were bright and lively.

"Big Sis."

The little girl ran forward and hugged Yun Shu.

"This is my little sister, Yun Ling," Yun Shu introduced.

Fang Xing nodded. The little girl looked at him, blinked, and asked, "Huh? Big Sis, who is he?"

"A friend of your big sister," Yun Shu replied with a faint smile.

Fang Xing casually took out a small golden bracelet and offered it to the little girl.

Yun Ling’s eyes lit up with delight as she blinked, but she didn’t take it immediately. Instead, she looked to Yun Shu. Only after seeing her sister nod did she reach out and accept the golden bracelet.

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Fang Xing smiled, but Haji, off to the side, was looking at little Yun Ling with a playfully resentful expression.

"Yun Ling, you don’t even recognize me anymore?"

"Brother Haji," little Yun Ling called out sweetly. Haji’s face broke into a smile as he took out an exquisite rattle-drum and handed it to her.

"This way, Young Master Fang!"

Yun Shu gestured with her hand. Fang Xing gave a slight nod and walked into the courtyard of her home.

It was a fair bit larger than Haji’s home.

Yun Shu brought out some milk wine, poured everyone a cup, and the group chatted and laughed together.

From Yun Shu, Fang Xing learned more about the Underground Cave.

Yun Shu was originally meant to represent the Profound Wind Tribe, so she naturally had a much deeper understanding of the Underground Cave.

Moreover, as a Grandmaster, Yun Shu was not just a member of the Profound Wind Tribe; she also held a position within the Longevity Hall.

From her, Fang Xing also learned about the general structure of the Longevity Hall.

The Longevity Hall was just a collective name.

It contained two inner halls.

First, the Auspicious Hall!

Second, the Ruyi Hall!

The Longevity Hall serves as the main hall.

Including the Auspicious and Ruyi Halls, there are a total of three hall masters.

These three hall masters all possessed the Cultivation of a Celestial Martial Saint.

Among them, the master of the Longevity Hall was the strongest.

Besides the three hall masters, there were also the Eternal Life Envoys!

These positions were all held by those at the True Essence Grandmaster Level.

There were twelve Eternal Life Envoys in total!

In addition, there were the Elders and Honorary Elders of the Longevity Hall.

All of them were at the Grandmaster Level.

There were dozens of Elders in the Longevity Hall!

This force alone was enough to dominate the entire region.

And aside from the Elders, there were the Honorary Elders.

These Honorary Elders were all people from the various tribes.

The position was mostly nominal.

All medium-sized tribes and larger had them.

This added up to a rather large number.

The number of Honorary Elders from the three super-tribes was particularly large.

And Yun Shu was one of these Honorary Elders.

The core power of the Longevity Hall, however, lay with the Longevity Divine Sons.

Their status was equivalent to that of a True Disciple in a Martial Dao Upper Sect.

Their cultivation ranged from the True Essence to the True Qi Realm.
