Chapter 1036 Three powerful demons come to visit
The three of them stepped into the cave, and an old smell hit them. The interior of the cave was more spacious and brighter than expected, and the four walls were inlaid with crystal stones that emitted soft light, illuminating the entire space.
They walked through a long corridor and at the end was a large hall where several old men and a young man were sitting around a stone table.
Right in front of the hall, sat a tall and dignified man. Time had left deep marks on his face, but his eyes were still bright, as if hiding endless stories.
His hair was already gray, but was neatly tied behind his head. He wore a dark robe embroidered with intricate totems, a symbol that only the most respected people in the tribe could wear.
"Father, I'm back."
Liyue's voice broke the silence, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.
Seeing this, Li Yue's father slowly stood up. His voice was steady and full of strength: "Yue'er, you are finally back. Who are these two?"
At this time, Li Yue stepped forward and introduced:
"Father, these are my friends Lu Chen and Yun Xi. They've been in some trouble recently, so I brought them to the clan to take shelter for a while.
Li Yue's father was called Li Tu. He knew his daughter very well and it was impossible for her to bring a human cultivator into the clan for no reason.
So, with full of curiosity, he began to look at the two people carefully.
However, when his gaze inadvertently fell on Lu Chen, a look of horror suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
Li Yue, who was standing by, seemed to have anticipated this situation. She quickly used her spiritual sense to warn her father, "Father, this matter is of great importance. You must not say the wrong thing!"
After Li Tu received the message from his daughter, the expression on his face changed instantly. The look of astonishment and loss of composure disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Instead, he looked calm as water. However, if you looked closely, you could still see a hint of surprise in his eyes that had not completely disappeared.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the waves that had just surged in his heart, then slowly turned his head, showed a kind smile to Lu Chen and Yun Xi, and said:
"Since you two are Yue'er's friends, you don't have to be polite. Please be more casual and treat this place as your own home."
Seeing Li's father's drastic change in attitude, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel confused.
However, out of basic courtesy, he still clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Li's father and the other elders present to express his greetings.
Yunxi, who was standing next to them, saw this and naturally did not dare to be negligent. She followed Lu Chen and bowed to everyone.
After seeing the scene before them, the five old men all nodded in agreement.
After Li Yue's brief introduction, Lu Chen realized that these people were all members of the Elder Council of the Yanyu Clan.
They are arranged from left to right, and their names are Cang Pine, Red Maple, Green Bamboo, White Birch and Black Willow.
Each of the old men has unique and distinctive physical features. It is because of their presence that the entire spacious hall is filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
The first person that caught my eye was the old man named Cangsong. Compared with the other four men, his figure seemed more sturdy and strong, as if he was as tough as a pine tree as his name suggested.
Sitting next to Cangsong is Chifeng. The most eye-catching thing about him is his fiery red hair, which is burning like a raging fire and just as gorgeous as the falling maple leaves in autumn.
Looking to the right, I saw an old man with a slender figure. His name was Qingzhu. He exuded a fresh and elegant temperament, as noble and unworldly as a green bamboo.
The next elder, Bai Hua, has skin as white as snow and a gentle and warm gaze, which makes people feel close to him.
Finally, Xuan Liu, who was at the end of the team, had a thick beard and looked calm and steady, which made people respect him.
However, among this group of elders there was also a young man named Ling Feng.
This man had a straight posture and an extraordinarily handsome face, but in the depths of his narrow eyes, there was a hint of imperceptible coldness.
For some reason, Ling Feng showed obvious hostility towards Lu Chen's sudden visit.
When Lu Chen took the initiative to smile and greet him, he just glanced at Lu Chen lightly and quickly looked away, as if he didn't take Lu Chen seriously at all.
After a few simple greetings, Li Tu said, "The two friends have come from afar. Ling Feng, take them to settle down first. I will host a banquet for them in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen knew that Father Li probably had something to discuss, so he didn't say anything more.
But just as Lu Chen, Yunxi and the young man named Ling Feng were about to leave.
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the cave. As the footsteps got closer, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Then, the man said excitedly:
"Your Highness, the three demon kings of the Wind Tribe, Earth Tribe, and Water Tribe have come to visit us with their younger generations. Please make the decision, Chief."
Upon hearing the news, Li Tu was slightly stunned at first. He did not expect that the three Demon Kings would come all the way to his territory, and come together.
Then he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and welcome them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and realized that this visit was unusual, so he flashed and teleported away from the spot, preparing to go and greet these important guests in person.
Seeing this, Lu Chen glanced at Princess Liyue, not knowing whether he should leave or stay.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yue quickly sent a telepathic message: "Lu Chen, you guys might as well stay here first. If I'm right, you will have a great meal later."
There was a hint of mystery in Li Yue's tone, which made Lu Chen even more curious about what would happen next.
So he nodded slightly to show that he understood, and exchanged a glance with Yunxi. They both decided to stay and watch how the situation developed.
Ling Feng stood not far away, his face didn't show much expression, and he didn't seem to care about this sudden change.
Fortunately, within a few breaths, Li Tu's solemn and enthusiastic laughter came from outside the cave:
"You all have come from afar, and it is truly an honor to have you here."
Li Tu's voice was loud and sincere, echoing throughout the space.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people led by Li Tu walked into the cave.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen secretly looked at everyone and saw that their auras were different, but they all revealed a sense of power that could not be ignored.
The Wind Tribe's demon king has a graceful figure, like a willow branch dancing in the wind;
The Demon King of the Earth Tribe gives people a feeling of heaviness and solidity, as if he is part of the earth itself;
The Demon King of the Water Tribe is gentle yet strong, as elegant and unpredictable as the gurgling water.
Seeing the Demon King of the Water Clan, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of Li Baichuan of the Koi Clan and Senior Dragon Soul who had accompanied him for many years.
If possible, Lu Chen plans to ask the Demon King of the Water Clan where the Star Sea Realm is.
Because Lu Chen always remembered that when Senior Long Hun was using the Water Tribe's Gate to reshape his body and ascend to heaven, he asked him to go to the Star Sea Realm to find him.
However, according to Cao Yuan's memory, Lu Chen did not find the name of Xinghai Realm in the Jiujiu Realm.
Just as Lu Chen fell into a brief contemplation, the three demon kings spoke almost at the same time:
"Chief Li Tu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever."
Their voices intertwined together, serving as both a greeting to Li Tu and a display of their mutual understanding.
“No, no, it’s a pleasant surprise that the three demon kings have come to visit us. Please come in, please come in.”
As Li Tu spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and led the three demon kings and their entourage into the cave...
