Chapter 2354 - 2313: Yiyun Tribe, Miss Yiyun

The Black Jiao, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was willing to accept him as a follower, immediately turned his tears into laughter. His ghostly face broke into a smile and he said eagerly, "Brother Wang, this place is dangerous. We should leave quickly and head to the Yiyun Tribe..."

"Hmm," Wang Xiaoqiang said, reaching out with his right hand to grab the ghostly face of the Black Jiao, then took off swiftly, saying, "Guide the direction."

The Black Jiao immediately guided Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Brother Wang, this place is the Southern Wilderness, the Yiyun Tribe is in the Eastern Wilderness, about five million li away. At your speed, it should take at least a day to reach it. It's quite a journey."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Hmm, it's fine. By the way, Black Jiao, as someone from the Yiyun Tribe, why aren't you staying there? Why wander so far and indulge in banditry?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Jiao appeared mournful and sighed deeply, his expression darkening, said, "Brother Wang, it's a long story; let me tell you slowly, "

Then, the Black Jiao recounted his tale to Wang Xiaoqiang,

In his youth, the Black Jiao was extremely handsome, a graceful youth who fell in love with a girl from the Snow Eagle Tribe. Her name was Bai Ling, and she was exceptionally beautiful.

Bai Ling liked the Black Jiao too; they were a pair of star-crossed lovers, and eventually, under the witness of the tribes, became engaged,

However, after they got engaged, trouble arose. The son of the Purple Dragon Tribe's leader took a liking to Bai Ling and wanted to marry her. The Purple Dragon Tribe was the most powerful tribe locally, not even the Yiyun Tribe or the Snow Eagle Tribe dared to provoke them, not even together could they resist,

Under pressure from the Purple Dragon Tribe, the Snow Eagle Tribe, for the sake of the overall situation, was forced to order Bai Ling and the Black Jiao to break off their engagement and have Bai Ling marry the son of the Purple Dragon Tribe.

This scattered the pair, breaking Bai Ling's heart and leaving the Black Jiao full of resentment,

Unwilling to accept, he decided to cultivate diligently to become strong enough to one day win back the woman he loved,

In his ambition to grow strong quickly, the Black Jiao suffered a Qi Deviation during the solidification of the Immortal Technique, destroying his visage and becoming infused with demonic nature, his character drastically changed, becoming exceedingly evil,

Later, Bai Ling was forcibly married by the son of the Purple Dragon Tribe, leaving the Black Jiao heartbroken, forcing him to leave his sorrow behind and wander away from his painful past,

Eventually, he went to the Southern Wilderness and met some exceedingly evil brothers like Cold Crocodile. They indulged in banditry and plundering, seizing cultivation resources to grow stronger quickly, and even joined the ranks of cannibals, extremely ruthless and committing all manner of vile deeds...

After listening to the Black Jiao, Wang Xiaoqiang grew suspicious and said deliberately, "Say, Black Jiao, once we reach the Yiyun Tribe, will your tribe treat me well?"

The Black Jiao hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Of course, my sister Yiyun is now the leader of the Yiyun Tribe, as her elder brother, I certainly have some influence."

"Black Jiao, I have a question, not sure if I should ask?"

The Black Jiao said, "We're brothers, if there's anything, Brother Wang, just say it. As long as I can do it, I'll certainly try my best..."

"Black Jiao, you've wandered far, doing many evil deeds, you're practically a villain. If the Yiyun Tribe learns of this, will they accept you? Should the Yiyun Tribe view you as a villain, not only will they not accept you, they'll want to eliminate you. How will you respond?"

The Black Jiao shook his head and said, "That's impossible, absolutely impossible. The leader of the Yiyun Tribe is my sister, we are siblings with a deep bond, blood is thicker than water. How could she harm me, Brother Wang, you're worrying too much. Besides, I committed my crimes in the Southern Wilderness, the people back home don't know about it..."

"Hmm, I hope I'm overthinking it," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

The Black Jiao reassured Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Brother Wang, you're mindful and cautious, that's right. The Primordial realm is dangerous. Since you're new here, you should have this mindset to preserve your life."

"Black Jiao, don't worry. This time when we go to the Yiyun Tribe, I'll help you level the Purple Dragon Tribe and avenge the past humiliation." Wang Xiaoqiang was not worried about the Yiyun Tribe, but about the Black Jiao. After returning to the tribe, with support, not under Wang Xiaoqiang's control, might he turn against him? It's hard to say.

So at this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang promised the Black Jiao that he would help him seek revenge.

Of course, there was another reason for making this promise, which was Wang Xiaoqiang's intolerance of this kind of feud over a woman. Since he encountered it, he had to involve himself.

"Brother Wang, thank you so much," the Black Jiao repeatedly expressed his gratitude, though he didn't hold much hope as the Purple Dragon Tribe was strong, already a Wang Court-level tribe. It's not just Wang Xiaoqiang, even if the Yiyun Tribe and Snow Eagle Tribe joined forces now, they wouldn't be able to stand against it.

Chatting all the way, flying all the way, by the next morning, Wang Xiaoqiang and the Black Jiao entered the Eastern Wilderness, finally arriving at the airspace of a tribe near noon of that day, the tribe being the Yiyun Tribe.

"Look, Brother Wang, down there is the Yiyun Tribe," the Black Jiao pointed at the tribe below, with a hint of emotion in his voice, "Haha, it's been years since I returned, I didn't expect the Yiyun Tribe to have developed and grown, not bad, really not bad."

Within the emotion, there was a hint of gratification, Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heavenly Eye to observe the Yiyun Tribe below carefully. He saw that the tribe's area was large, nestled among the mountains and woods. Stone houses were built along the mountain peaks; though simple, they appeared very tidy. Huge trees were dotted with animal hides hung out to dry, clearly revealing that the tribe lived by hunting. The people in the tribe busily went about their own affairs, appearing very peaceful, a scene of prosperous and harmonious living,

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sense of ease in his heart.

"Let's go, down," the Black Jiao led Wang Xiaoqiang to fly down. Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Black Jiao, don't forget you're returning in the form of a soul and spirit; the people of the Yiyun Tribe will surely be shocked. Your sister will definitely have trouble accepting it, so you must think about how to explain."

Wang Xiaoqiang meant to suggest that the Black Jiao concoct a lie, rather than reveal the truth. If Black Jiao says his physical body was killed by Wang Xiaoqiang, how could the Yiyun Tribe tolerate him?

"Brother Wang, don't worry about that. I know how to explain," the Black Jiao said.

As they descended, the sentries of the tribe had already noticed them, sounding the alarm, and immediately guard soldiers flew up to intercept, intending to attack.

The Black Jiao shouted from afar, "Don't move! I am the elder brother of the tribal leader Yiyun, who left years ago, now returning, quickly report to your leader Yiyun..."

The Black Jiao's voice remained unchanged, though it was deep and eerie. The guard soldiers saw he appeared with a ghostly face, none willing to recognize his identity nor report to the tribal leader,

However, the Black Jiao's voice resounded throughout the tribe, and the tribal leader Yiyun heard it, excitedly came out to check, swept with her Divine Sense, immediately discovered a person and a soul in the sky,

To be precise, it was a person and a ghostly face. Though the face was ghostly, it was the face of her brother Yishan — that is Black Jiao. Black Jiao was called Yishan when he was young. After suffering a Qi Deviation, he cultivated anew, eventually solidifying his Immortal Technique, allowing to form a Black Jiao. But even when this technique reached Dacheng, he still couldn't achieve his great revenge, leaving him neither human nor ghost, with a hideous appearance in stark contrast to before, heaven and earth apart,

Thus, people mockingly named him Black Jiao. Later he left the tribe, wandered to the Southern Wilderness, committed countless misdeeds but to avoid bringing shame to the tribe, he didn't use his real name, rather chose to be known as Black Jiao.

Upon discovering this, Yiyun's heart trembled, she commanded the guard soldiers, "Let them down."

Wang Xiaoqiang and Black Jiao descended, heading toward Yiyun. With his Heavenly Eye, Wang Xiaoqiang saw the woman who was speaking had a cultivation base in the Fifth Stage of the Soaring Heaven Realm, an extremely high realm. Her slender body stood elegantly, her pretty face was charming and cute, with a touch of natural simplicity, like the girl-next-door, very endearing,

Seeing Yiyun, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sense of closeness and asked the Black Jiao, "Black Jiao, is that girl down there your sister?"

Before the Black Jiao could respond, Yiyun below was already tearfully shouting at him, "Ah, brother, are you my brother Yishan? How did you become this way?"
