Chapter 758: 0759 Taboo Clan! (First Update)

The Mu Clan retreated, and the pressure instantly dissipated.

Jin Shanshun was still immersed in the shock of that colossal face.

"They’re gone," Ye Qiu clapped Jin Shanshun on the shoulder, jolting him back to reality.

Ye Qiu had gone to Yun Shang Palace ahead of time to prevent Old Mo from being exposed, hoping to invite the revered Wu Yang to make a visit.

After all, Wu Yang had been a substantial help to him, and although the Heaven Stealing Pill was only a semi-finished product, it stabilized Wu Yang’s realm, preventing any further decline and even showing signs of further improvement.

Ye Qiu’s promise then was to refine a holy-grade medicinal pill for Wu Yang within a year.

For Ye Qiu, the sole alchemist, neither the owner of Yun Shang nor Wu Yang would spare any effort to protect him.

The Mu Clan’s retreat spread throughout the ancient lands, making Wu Yang’s name resonate all over, a powerful figure who made a great ancient clan retreat. Many were curious about this mighty person since they had never heard of him.

Across the ancient lands, many discussed Wu Yang, the revered one.

A disciple of the legendary realm learned from his master that Wu Yang was already a famed master in the ancient lands even before the rise of the three great ancient clans, second only to the Clan Leader of the then Forbidden Tribe.

"Forbidden Tribe?" someone couldn’t help but be taken aback, especially many young members who knew nothing of any Forbidden Tribe in the ancient lands.

A knowledgeable ancient clan member whispered, "It is said that the ancient lands used to be ruled by the Forbidden Tribe, the most powerful ancient clan back then. The three great ancient clans were not as mighty as today, and had it not been for their alliance that annihilated the Forbidden Tribe, the ancient lands would still be ruled by them."

"What exactly is this Forbidden Tribe that it forced the three great ancient clans to join hands?" someone asked, puzzled.

"You know nothing; the information about the Forbidden Tribe has long been sealed. Only the older generations know it, and few among the young generation are aware. Anyway, the Forbidden Tribe was very strong back then, overpowering the three great ancient clans."

"Did the Forbidden Tribe not have any survivors?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. Let me tell you, the three great ancient clans together wiped out the entire Forbidden Tribe back then, leaving no survivors."

"Annihilation..." Everyone who heard this couldn’t help but gasp, shocked that the three great ancient clans had once committed such a heinous act of exterminating an entire tribe. No wonder they remained so loftily supreme, likely seizing all the treasures of the Forbidden Tribe for themselves.

"Do not mention the Forbidden Tribe anymore, lest the three great ancient clans overhear it and bring trouble upon us."

Wu Yang’s involvement brought up the Forbidden Tribe of the past, leaving many feeling that it was a very distant memory, a super-ancient clan that could unite the three great ancient clans. No wonder Wu Yang could scare off the Mu Clan—he was a supreme powerhouse back then.

The appearance of Wu Yang surprised many of the older martial artists among the three great ancient clans; they didn’t expect that the long absent Wu Yang was still around, and his strength seemed even more formidable.

"Wu Yang, this old fellow... even the Ancestor is very wary of him, and he actually took action to protect Ye Qiu, which is quite troublesome," the Clan Leader of the Ji Clan, Ji Changtian, muttered.

"Yes, unless the Ancestor takes action, no one is his match, and even using a number of mythical realm martial artists would be pointless," an elder said with a sigh. When he was a young martial artist, he had already heard of Wu Yang’s illustrious name, who had already dominated the ancient lands back then.

"The Ancestor goes into seclusion for decades at a time; unless it’s a life-or-death situation, we mustn’t disturb him. Since Yun Shang Palace is set on protecting Ye Qiu, we should probably cancel any plans against him," Ji Changtian suggested.

Meanwhile, in the Mu Clan.

Mu Tianxing’s expression was also very grim, having never expected Wu Yang to appear, especially since Wu Yang’s final statement made it clear that no one should continue targeting Ye Qiu.

"What value does this kid have that warrants the intervention of Yun Shang’s immortals?" Mu Tianxing gritted his teeth, both fearful and angry at Wu Yang. Though his Mu Clan possessed the power to contend with Wu Yang, they couldn’t afford to mobilize it over Ye Qiu, as it would undoubtedly damage the fortunes of the Mu Clan.

The terror of a formidable figure like Wu Yang was something Mu Tianxing had witnessed in his early years. Because he knew, he feared and dared not start a war casually.

"Ye Qiu, you are lucky. If I find evidence linking you to the disappearance of Can Dou, even if Wu Yang tries to protect you, it will be futile," Mu Tianxing said bitterly.

"Clan Leader, what about this Ye Qiu..."

"Let’s not bother with him for now. How is the situation on your end coming along?" Mu Tianxing changed the subject.

Upon mentioning that major issue, Mu Tianxing’s most capable assistant immediately became serious and said, "Progress is slow, mainly because it’s too dangerous there. Many descendants of our Mu clan who entered have died. It’s tough to explore further."

Mu Tianxing nodded, "Continue the exploration. The news of the Crystal Stone vein discovered by the Dugu family years ago is unknown even to the Ji Clan and Shi Clan. As long as our Mu clan can find its exact location, our rise will be unstoppable—every ancient clan, including Wu Yang, Ancestor of Ji Clan, will all be under our feet."

Mu Tianxing’s eyes gleamed with limitless ambition; the Mu clan had always been considered the second greatest ancient clan of the ancient land. Whether in terms of ancient clan background or young prodigies, they were perpetually in second place.

Mu Tianxing disliked being second; he wanted to snatch the position of the Ji Clan as the foremost ancient clan.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Mu Tianxing had never abandoned this idea in his heart. As soon as the Crystal Stone vein was mined, his Mu clan would rapidly grow stronger, and all ancient clans would submit to them.

...

Ye Zi woke up feeling this time it was not a dream. Seeing Ye Qiu in front of her, she couldn’t help feeling happy.

Ye Qiu knew that Ye Zi had suffered a lot in the Mu clan and he also felt pity for his sister, pampering her greatly.

When asked how she ended up here, Ye Qiu simply recounted how he had entered the Mu clan and rescued her.

"Brother Ye Qiu, you must go quickly. The Mu clan will find you soon. They have many strong warriors, and even children aged eleven or twelve can reach the True Qi realm in their clan. Since you have rescued me, they won’t let you go; you must leave this place," Ye Zi said, her face changing as she immediately urged Ye Qiu to leave.

Jin Shanshun, looking worried for Ye Qiu, couldn’t help but interject with a smile, "You need not worry anymore; the people from the Mu clan have just left. They didn’t dare do anything to your brother."

"What? People from the Mu clan came here?" Ye Zi was shocked.

"Yes, and it was their Clan Leader Mu Tianxing himself who came. They wanted to capture your brother, but unfortunately, they were scared off. I guess they won’t dare to confront your brother again," Jin Shanshun said with a smile.

"Is what he said true?" Ye Zi was somewhat skeptical, feeling that Jin Shanshun might be deceiving her, so she looked to Ye Qiu, hoping to hear the answer from him.

Ye Qiu lightly tapped Ye Zi’s forehead with his finger and smiled, "Silly girl, he is right. The Mu clan won’t dare to take action for now; you can be assured."

Hearing Ye Qiu say this with a confident look on his face, Ye Zi’s anxious heart finally relaxed.

Suddenly, Ye Zi’s face shifted from relief to surprise, staring at Ye Qiu and said, "Brother Ye Qiu, are you the same Ye Qiu that many people have been talking about?"

Ye Qiu was startled, "In the ancient land, isn’t there only one Ye Qiu? Is there someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi, remembering what she had heard people discussing about Ye Qiu while in the Mu clan, was amazed. The Ye Qiu everyone discussed was indeed her brother, Ye Qiu.

Brother Ye Qiu still stood out impressively in the ancient land.

For a moment, Ye Zi’s eyes shone with little stars as she looked at Ye Qiu.
