Chapter 2476: Farewell, Clan Leader!

Chapter 2476: Chapter 2476: Farewell, Clan Leader!

Upon hearing this, the gigantic Ancestor Kunpeng emitted a thunderous sound.

"It’s been many years, yet the clan leader’s demeanor hasn’t aged a bit!"

The moment this voice appeared, the complexion of the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader slightly changed.

"You are..."

At this moment, the eyes of the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader were full of suspicion and uncertainty.

Just then, the figure of the Ancestor Kunpeng flashed.

The massive wings swept up, stirring wind and clouds, thunder roaring.

In an instant, the Ancestor Kunpeng vanished without a trace.

Replaced by a human youth.

"It’s Zhou himself!"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, looking at the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader.

The Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader naturally recognized Zhou Yu at a glance.

However, for this very reason, a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

Before the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader could speak, Elder Shi and others beside her immediately displayed expressions of shock and fear.

"It’s you?"

"How is this possible!!!"

"This can’t be!"

Seeing Elder Shi, Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said to him:

"Elder Shi, long time no see, I hope you are well."

At this moment, Elder Shi and the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader exchanged a glance, both showing disbelief in their eyes.

Meanwhile, some of the elders by the side displayed inexplicable expressions.

This was not surprising.

Initially, Zhou Yu didn’t stay long at the Golden Roc Clan before he went to Black Soul Abyss.

And these elders in front of him were away at that time, so they had never met Zhou Yu.

However, logically speaking, Zhou Yu initially escorted the Golden Roc Clan’s young master into Black Soul Abyss.

Later, as the two young masters reported, Zhou Yu was chased by Integration Realm demon cultivators beneath Black Soul Abyss.

Most likely, he had already fallen.

Thus, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader and elders gradually forgot about Zhou Yu.

But now, after not seeing him for a few hundred years.

Zhou Yu not only reappeared but had astonishingly become an Integration Realm expert.

Moreover, the transformation into the Ancestor Kunpeng just displayed was extremely intimidating.

Across the entire Golden Roc Clan, perhaps only the clan leader could overpower him.

How could the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader and Elder Shi not be shocked?

At this point, after a brief shock, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader had regained her composure.

She looked at Zhou Yu and said:

"Is it really Daoist Zhou? I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

"Back then, Daoist Zhou escorted our Golden Roc Clan’s young master into Black Soul Abyss, not only ensuring their safe return but also completing all the examinations."

"We intended to properly reward Daoist Zhou, but then heard that Daoist Zhou was trapped in Black Soul Abyss with uncertain fate."

"It made us very worried."

"However, now it seems that not only did Daoist Zhou escape unharmed, but he also found an opportunity, stepping into the Integration Realm."

"This is truly a matter for celebration."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"Zhou indeed fell into Black Soul Abyss and was repeatedly plotted against and pursued by four demon cultivators, but this had nothing to do with my cultivation realm."

"On that occasion, if not for good fortune, I fear I would have perished in Black Soul Abyss."

The Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader’s eyes flickered as she looked at Zhou Yu and said:

"Is that so?"

"Regardless of whether Daoist Zhou received any opportunity in Black Soul Abyss."

"As it stands, Daoist Zhou is now an Integration Realm expert, and this fact in itself is worth celebrating."

"Moreover, Daoist Zhou’s visit to our Golden Roc Clan is probably not just for a casual chat."

"Why don’t we return to the city and discuss in my clan’s palace?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"The clan leader is right."

"I indeed have something to discuss."

"Very well. Then please follow me."

The Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader made a gesture of invitation.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu did not hesitate at all and directly followed the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader away.

The remaining Golden Roc Clan elders looked at each other in dismay.

Finally, everyone hurriedly followed.

The manner of Zhou Yu’s appearance was so astonishing that it caught the attention of many high-rank cultivators in the Golden Roc Clan’s main city.

However.

When they saw Zhou Yu being personally invited in by the clan leader and numerous elders.

They all revealed expressions of surprise but no one dared to go up and disturb.

Under the gaze of everyone in the city, Zhou Yu and the others entered the palace of the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader.

Inside the palace, everyone took their seats separately.

Afterwards, the clan leader ordered someone to serve spiritual tea and spirit fruits.

Until now, no one could discern the true intentions of the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader.

Yet Zhou Yu showed no unusual signs, rather, he appeared quite interested, enjoying the spirit fruits and spiritual tea heartily.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader spoke:

"Daoist Zhou, this is our Golden Roc Clan’s unique spiritual tea—Accumulated Fragrance Tea."

"Every ten years, less than a hundred pounds can be produced."

"To speak of it, the picking of this tea is very particular; it must be carried out by a girl born at the hour and day of extreme yin, during the hour of extreme yin."

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"As the saying goes, the cycle of yin and yang."

"Perhaps because of this, the tea exudes a sense of essential yang, making it an excellent quality tea."

The Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader smiled gently.

"If Daoist Zhou likes it, I can give you some."

After speaking, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader said to a maid beside her:

"Go to the Spiritual Library and fetch ten pounds of Accumulated Fragrance Tea for our esteemed guest."

"Yes, clan leader!"

The maid immediately responded and left.

And Zhou Yu, with a slight pause in his eyes, then smiled and said:

"Then I thank the clan leader."

At this time, the clan leader continued:

"By the way, Daoist Zhou, aside from Elder Shi, you probably don’t recognize the others here, right?"

"Let me introduce them to you."

"These are the elders of my Golden Roc Clan, this is..."

Soon, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader introduced everyone one by one.

Of course, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader also introduced Zhou Yu’s identity to everyone present.

After listening, most of the elders revealed shocked expressions.

A few hundred years ago, during the time when the Golden Roc Clan was at its weakest, the incident of Zhou Yu taking two young masters into Black Soul Abyss was almost universally known and acknowledged within the clan.

And later, those two young masters returned safely, but Zhou Yu was nowhere to be found.

Everyone had been saying that Zhou Yu had died in Black Soul Abyss.

Unexpectedly, today he appeared here, and moreover, as the honored guest of the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader.

This was simply unimaginable.

Facing everyone’s amazement, Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"I was fortunate to escape from Black Soul Abyss that year, then returned to the Land of Human and Demon Clans."

"I hope the clan leader doesn’t have any opinion of me because of this."

Hearing this, the Golden Roc Clan’s clan leader smiled faintly.

"Daoist, there’s no need to worry."

"You have completed your agreement with me, and where you go thereafter, I naturally have no control."

"It’s just that, it’s truly shocking that you have advanced from the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Integration Realm in just a few hundred years."

"Moreover, not long after you left, the four demon cultivators in Black Soul Abyss disappeared."

"If you don’t mind, could you tell us what really happened in Black Soul Abyss back then?"
