Chapter 340: The Exiled Human Race! Descendants of Xuanwu!
The morning light begins to rise and the sky gradually brightens.

Lin Yan rode on the dragon-scale horse and galloped all the way towards the location mentioned in the intelligence.

He went home yesterday, had dinner with his brother and sister-in-law, and personally taught Lin Xiaoyue some basic martial arts.

This little girl does have the potential to be a martial arts genius. Although she is not as talented as Xu Dingye from the Little Divine Sect, she is also an excellent talent!
After all, Xu Dingye of the Small Divine Sect was known as the number one prodigy of the younger generation in Qifeng Mansion before Lin Yan. He had extraordinary talent, good bones, and excellent comprehension.

His teacher was even praised as the most talented person in hundreds of years, Li Shenzong.

In the entire Qifeng Mansion, except for Lin Yan, there are not many people in the younger generation who can compare with Xu Dingye.

"Although Xiaoyue's innate talent is slightly inferior to Xu Dingye's, she is still young. With my salary from the Heavenly Monitoring Department, I can help her improve herself. In the future, her achievements may not fall behind Xu Dingye."

Lin Yan thought about this and said to himself, "Xiao Nian is too quiet, unwilling to move, and a little slow in reaction. I'm afraid his future martial arts achievements won't be as good as Xiao Yue's! I need to let him study more in the future and follow his second brother's path..."

The elixir left by Mr. Lu can be taken by young children to increase their energy and blood, and strengthen their muscles and bones without affecting their growth. It is extremely rare.

Lin Xiaoyue is still young, but he has already laid a solid foundation. When he officially starts practicing martial arts in the future, his progress will certainly be fast.

There is also an ancient being called Zhuo Ling Gong in the family. Although he is just a remnant soul, he is more than capable of teaching martial arts.

Han Zheng, who was promoted to the position of garrison commander, also agreed to Lin Yan's request and promised to guide the little girl's practice in his spare time in the future.

In addition, Lin Yan also bought some milder herbs according to Mr. Lu’s list of herbs, which could be used for medicinal baths from time to time, and prepared them for Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaonian, and the little nephew.

After arranging matters at home, he no longer had too many worries and left the city overnight.

After the Jiao-Scale Horse became a monster, it became extremely fast and had great endurance. It had already covered most of the distance by galloping all night.

"Master, at our current speed, we will definitely reach the location before nightfall."

The little white ape said, "However, this horse has already been running at full speed all night without holding back any strength. If we let it run for another day, even if it doesn't die from exhaustion, it will probably vomit from exhaustion."

Under normal circumstances, this dragon-scale horse could run for ten days and ten nights without sleeping, eating or drinking.

But last night Lin Yan rode at full speed, pushing the speed of the Jiao Scale Horse to its limit. It was not easy for him to last a whole night with his full strength.

"Let's rest for half an hour first." Lin Yan nodded slightly and patted the dragon-scale horse's head.

"Okay." The little white ape said, "It's time to eat something. Although I'm not afraid of being hungry with my current cultivation, we can't make the slightest mistake when facing a powerful enemy... After all, we've traveled thousands of miles, and he's waiting for us to tire out. He's already got the upper hand."

"You are thinking about the little demon that just passed by." Lin Yan said, "Master, I saw it too. The Cloud Wing Bird is extremely rare. Legend has it that it is not only delicious, but also can warm up the blood. It can increase your strength before the battle!"

"Of course, it won't be of any help to you, Master." The little white ape said with a grin, "But for me, it is also a great tonic!"

"Let's go. This monster bird was frightened by us just now. It fled to the east... There are three people there. Don't let this cloud-winged bird harm them."

Lin Yan said this, waved his hand, and said: "Master, I'm here, I'll light the fire and set up the pot, and wait for you to come back to stew the soup."

"What do you mean by waiting for me to come back and make soup? Why does that sound a bit creepy?"

The little white ape shuddered and corrected him, "Master, you should say, wait until I catch the cloud-winged bird and make soup with it."

"roll!"

Lin Yan sent the little white ape away, then dismounted and patted his clothes.

The Cloud-Winged Bird is a descendant of a ferocious god in legends, and it likes to eat humans and animals.

But this bird is nutritious and can be regarded as a great medicine, which can improve one's cultivation.

If humans eat it, it can strengthen their qi and blood!

When monsters eat it, it can also enhance their own bloodline!

Some monsters even ate the Cloud-Winged Bird alive and were able to unleash the innate magical powers in their ancestors' blood!
Because of this, the number of cloud-winged birds is extremely small and they are almost on the verge of extinction. Most of them hide in remote islands overseas and occasionally hunt and kill humans on coastal borders.

Coastal cities and large clean areas near the sea are often disturbed by cloud-winged birds, causing fishermen to be afraid to go out to sea.

I didn't expect to see the descendants of the evil gods and birds mentioned in the classics here.

"I heard that this bird is not only extremely delicious, but most importantly, it is harmless to eat."

Lin Yan also had some expectations in his heart.

Normally, monsters that are killed cannot be eaten directly by humans, otherwise they will gradually become alienated just like those who practice the method of transforming monsters.

According to records in ancient books, generally speaking, humans below the Refining Essence Realm, once they have eaten the flesh and blood of monsters three or five times, will either grow scales, tentacles, or be covered in mucus...all kinds of symptoms are different.

This is related to the strange aura in the eerie night.

So usually, after killing a monster, the body would be sent to a temple, where the temple priests would cleanse it with incense before it could finally be eaten by humans.

But the Cloud Wing Bird can be put directly into the pot!

"But how could this exotic bird from overseas appear here?"

-

The sky is already bright.

The family of four, carrying their luggage, walked out of the cleared land and headed west.

They have no fixed place to live and are refugees who are exiled to various pure lands.

"Dad, why are we moving again?" The little girl, wearing ragged clothes and covered in dust, pursed her lips, trying hard not to let her tears fall, and whispered, "I just got to know my new home..."

"If you stay there, you'll starve to death."

The man held a rough wooden bow and had a bone knife hanging from his waist. He looked worried and said, "We have picked all the fruits around that piece of clean land. Father has also caught too many rabbits and gophers. The others have all run away and Father can't catch them."

"Now that the season has changed, the trees that bear fruit during the snowy season no longer bear fruit. We have to go west and find new clean land."

"The fruits grown there are sweeter."

"Let's continue westward. There will be a big river. Dad will catch fish for you then."

The man said this and glanced at his wife beside him.

The woman was not very old, but her face was full of wrinkles and her hands were rough, like an old lady.

She was holding a younger child in her arms, carrying a bag on her back. She glanced at her husband and whispered, "Let's go to Gaoliu City and take a look. Sometimes when the city is short of people, they will take in children..."

"What kind of luck would it take for the city to be short of people?"

The man sighed, "Even if there is a disaster in the city, it will only kill people. The city will not be destroyed, so there will be space to accommodate outsiders..."

"Have you forgotten that I told you that your grandfather is from Fengcheng?"

"There was a great disaster that year. It was said that some 'unbanned' demon was responsible for the disaster. Half of the city collapsed and the granary was burned down. There was no room for more people."

"My family was unfortunately located within the destroyed area, and our house was also destroyed. The city allowed each family to leave one person behind and resettle him in the other half of the city."

"My grandfather chose to leave my uncle behind, and took my father and my aunt away from Fengcheng, and lived in exile in the Pure Land ever since."

"Later, my aunt was used to exchange my mother with another family living in the clean land, and then I was born."

The man said in a low voice, "Later, when the seasons changed, they went their separate ways to find a way to make a living. From then on, the two families were separated. I don't know if anyone in their family is still alive... But people from different generations wouldn't be able to recognize each other even if they met."

"I don't know if anyone in their family can survive, but if we delay any longer, our family won't be able to survive."

The woman's eyes were slightly red. She touched the child's head and said, "When winter came, it was fortunate that we found a clean place with fruit trees nearby. Unlike other families, they died outside."

"You are not as strong as before. I am afraid that we will not be able to feed these two children next winter."

"Back then, your father was old and couldn't hunt, so he lived on wild vegetables and roots outside the clean land. He later died of illness, and your brother didn't make it either, so you're the only one left."

"This……"

The man's face darkened. He paused and said, "Gao Liu City is not too far away. Let's go take a look first. We can exchange last year's furs and herbs for some food. It would be best if we could exchange them for a steel knife. As for the child..."

He glanced at the two children and felt a little sad.

If he could send both children to the city, he would be willing to die.

But my son is still young, and I’m afraid no one in the city will want him or raise him.

As for my daughter, maybe someone would like her and she could be a child bride, which would be a good idea.

At least I can live in the city, have food to eat, and survive.

He looked at the herbs and prey skins in his backpack, thinking that at worst he could just give all these things as his dowry.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly saw in front of me something like a white cloud approaching rapidly.

"Run!"

The man's face changed drastically and he immediately drew his bow and arrow.

He had been in exile in the Pure Land for many years and reacted extremely quickly, looking for a place to hide.

But his wife and children were by his side, so he did not dare to run away and could only shoot with one arrow.

But the arrow shot into the air and was easily dispersed by the "white cloud"!
"It's a monster!"

The man gritted his teeth, threw away his bow and arrow, pulled out his bone knife, ran forward, and shouted, "Beast, I'm here!"

The woman reacted quickly, dropped her bag, took her daughter's hand, and ran quickly down the hillside.

“Father…Father…”

The girl struggled and screamed.

"Don't shout!"

The woman shouted, and forcibly pulled her daughter down the hillside.

The weeds at the foot of the hill are overgrown, providing a perfect place to hide.

"..."

The man looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then a bird of prey was seen falling from the sky, with sharp claws, swooping down to kill.

He gritted his teeth, held the bone knife, and stabbed towards the sky.

He knew he couldn't hurt the monster.

I also knew that I would most likely die here.

He did not intend to hurt the monster with this knife, but was just unwilling to do so before dying.

A fierce aura came towards him.

He felt his eyes go dark.

After a while.

The pain the man expected did not come.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Then I saw that the evil white bird had fallen to the ground, flapping its wings.

Just when he was feeling confused, he saw another white cloud flying in the sky.

His expression changed drastically, and the joy that had just risen up in his heart disappeared instantly, revealing a look of despair.

However, the white cloud fell to the ground and turned into a knee-sized white ape with wings on its back.

"..."

The man's face changed drastically and he tightened the bone knife in his hand.

Then, the winged white ape was heard to speak in human language.

"I knocked this bird unconscious. It can't wake up for a while. Please help and carry it."

"..." The man was horrified. This monster actually had human nature. According to their ancestors, it was definitely not comparable to ordinary monsters.

"Go to work! My master is waiting for me." The little white ape seemed helpless and said, "You are holding a handful of bones and want to stab me to death? If I hadn't come a little late and scared you, I wouldn't have given you a piece of bird meat..."

"You..." The man felt his mouth dry.

"Alright, I'm domesticated, not wild." The little white ape spread his hands and said, "Let's go. My master is already angry over there. I've scared you this time. If I don't apologize to you, he'll say I'm rude and uneducated..." "Domesticated?"

The man was even more shocked.

"Take the bird with you."

The little white ape stretched his body, and suddenly his body grew in size. He said, "Your child fainted and his bag was thrown away. I will help you carry it back... Otherwise, do I need you to help me carry this bird?"

-

Lin Yan had already built a fire, made a pot with stones, and boiled water.

Then there was a rustling sound in the woods, and after a while, a white ape was seen carrying a little girl on its back and a bag in one hand.

Behind it, the couple followed it with weak steps and full of fear.

Looking at the burly and strong white-haired figure from behind, I was filled with fear to the extreme.

Then they saw a young man sitting by the roadside, holding a stone pot with boiling water on a blazing fire underneath.

After seeing the young man, the couple looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This white ape with wings is actually a domesticated monster!
"Don't be afraid, I'm planning to cook this cloud-winged bird. You can eat some together."

Lin Yan took a look and said with a smile: "This white ape is raised by me, it is not an evil demon."

The couple looked at each other, still feeling extremely awkward and uneasy.

Looking at this young man, he is well-dressed, has an extraordinary demeanor, and can raise a talking monster. And looking at the horse covered with scales beside him, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He must be a big shot from a certain city.

In the past, they would at most exchange hunted game, herbs, or woven products for food and clothing with passing caravans.

I have never dealt with any real big shots in my life, and I dare not share monsters with them.

"..."

Seeing this, Lin Yan glanced at the little white ape and said, "Bring the cloud-winged bird with you and come back after you've dealt with it."

The little white ape grunted and didn't dare to say anything more. He put the child down, took the Cloud-Winged Bird, and flew away.

Lin Yan then waved his hand, signaling them to come over.

Looking at this girl who was about the same age as Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Yan sighed.

He was born in Gaoliu City. Three generations of his family lived in a small tiled house. His elders worked day and night and could barely earn three meals a day. They felt that life was poor.

But he had never truly experienced the sufferings that the human race exiled to the Pure Land had endured.

When his innate wisdom had just awakened, Lin Yan even felt that it was impossible for any human being to survive outside Gaoliu City.

But throughout the ages, human beings have struggled to survive in such an environment, generation after generation, relying on the protection of pure lands on all sides, just like the seeds of weeds scattered everywhere.

Even Lin Yan's ancestors were once exiled to the Pure Land, and were later able to settle in Gaoliu City.

"You are..." The middle-aged man looked at his clothes and whispered, "Are you the Heavenly Supervisor?"

"You also know the Heavenly Supervisor?" Lin Yan asked in surprise.

"My ancestors are from Fengcheng."

The man then talked about his family's origins, and his tone showed some pride in the glory of his ancestors.

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

He had heard of the Fengcheng Incident that year.

It was the calamity that caused the trouble, and the impact was huge.

It was also after that fierce battle that Qifeng Prefecture paid more attention to Fengcheng.

Three years ago, Jie Jin caused trouble in Fengcheng, but it was suppressed. The damage caused was relatively much smaller, but many people died of famine that year.

“Robbery…”

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he thought of all the old things, the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he was suddenly frightened, fearing that his words and actions were inappropriate and had angered the other party.

Lin Yan noticed something strange and immediately put away his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Big brother, where are you going now?"

Following the man's response.

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Gao Liu City is newly built and is in need of craftsmen. You two can go! However, Gao Liu City is a little far from here. I can point you to another place where they are also building a city..."

The couple immediately showed surprise.

However, the man seemed to have thought of something, his face fell again, and he whispered: "I am not a craftsman. Although I have brute force, my wife and children..."

Seeing this, Lin Yan immediately understood and said thoughtfully, "Are you afraid that the new city will be built, so you are accepted but not your wife and children?"

The man nodded immediately.

Lin Yan took a piece of paper from his sleeve, condensed his true energy, and poured it on it.

"This is my token. Follow the path I point you to and someone will take you in."

"you……"

The couple couldn't believe it. They looked at this blessing from heaven, their hands trembling for a moment and they didn't dare to take it.

"If you meet other people along the way who have nowhere to go, you can ask them to go with you."

When Lin Yan said this, he heard the little white ape exclaiming not far away.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand.

He used his true Qi to immediately catch the cloud-winged bird with half of its feathers plucked.

The cloud-winged bird kept struggling, and suddenly spoke in human language, shouting, "Let me go... Let me go... Do you know what kind of existence my Lord is? You, a damn saint master, will soon die!"

"Do you know my identity?"

Lin Yan showed a surprised expression, and immediately understood what was going on. He said in a cold voice: "Are you the 'spy' who was sent out to search for me?"

"It's good for you to know that my Lord is the descendant of the ancient mythical beast, the Great God Xuanwu!"

The Cloud Wing Bird struggled and shouted, "My Lord came here for you. If you know what's best for you, I'll go and plead for mercy. Maybe I can spare your life..."

"Do you have the weight?"

Lin Yan sneered, strangled the cloud-winged bird to death, and threw it towards the little white ape.

On the side, the two children who had just woken up, as well as the couple, were so frightened by the cloud-winged bird that spoke human language that their faces turned pale.

Ancient mythical beast? Descendant of a great god?
Holy Master?

"It's okay, wait for the soup."

Lin Yan reached out and touched the little girl's head, but his heart sank.

When he was in Gaoliu City, news came from the City's Astronomical Bureau.

Deep in the sea, there was a demon king who was beyond his rank. He came with the treasure of the old gods and broke through the obstruction of Li Shenzong.

Wherever this sea demon king goes, there will be storms and floods.

Two days ago, we approached a large clearing named "Sea Cliff".

The great guardian, seeing a huge wave sweeping across a large clean area, tried to stop it with the help of an ancient talisman, but died on the spot.

The clean land on the sea cliff was hit by huge waves like a tsunami, more than half of the houses were destroyed, and there were heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the town is still dormant and has not been awakened, and the large cleanup area still exists, but rebuilding the original building will not be accomplished overnight.

Today, the sea cliff is in ruins and can only accommodate three to five thousand people at most.

The remaining human beings will have to temporarily rely on other small and medium-sized clean lands to survive.

If you are lucky, you may be able to get alternative arrangements.

Those with less luck may end up like this middle-aged man, with several generations to live in exile.

Those with the worst luck usually don't last long and die outside.

"This demon king who possesses the treasure of the old gods is actually the descendant of an ancient mythical beast?"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "After he conquered the Sea Cliff Pure Land, he disappeared. The Heavenly Supervisor has not yet found his whereabouts."

"The people in the capital city speculated that it was most likely Jie Jin's people who had established a relationship with him, hiding his whereabouts for him, hiding in the dark, and ambushing me!"

"Since this old demon came for me... it's not easy to find him now, but using me as bait to lure him out should not be difficult."

As he thought this, he reached out and took the Cloud-Winged Bird that the little white ape threw to him.

The plucked and cleaned cloud-winged bird was thrown into the boiling water in the stone pot.

Originally, Lin Yan planned to let the Cloud Wing Bird go and lure the Demon King to come for a fight.

But considering that the other party was a demon king who had surpassed the rank and was comparable to a landscape creator, and that he also had the treasure of the old gods in his possession, he became more cautious.

Tonight we will send the Great Elder off for the last time and destroy the "forbidden land" formed by the Great Elder's inner divine realm, so as to open up the grain transportation route to Fengcheng.

By killing the Great Elder, the evil spirit should benefit greatly, and then we will have a better chance of facing the descendant of Xuanwu.

As he thought about this, he sniffed the flavor of the broth and thought to himself, "Cloud Wing Bird, can be eaten directly without being refined... Is it because of the blood of the ancestors, or because it is hidden in the inner realm of the demon king and has not been directly eroded by the strange night?"

-

at the same time.

West of Fengcheng.

A bare "hill" suddenly moved.

The "rock" in front suddenly cracked, revealing cold eyes.

This is a huge monster, shaped like a giant turtle, with a head like a dragon and long flowing beard.

"Found him!"

"Xuanzun, wait a minute!"

At this moment, another voice was heard not far away, saying: "The leader has ordered that you can withdraw your eight hundred cloud-winged birds... The whereabouts of the Holy Master after leaving Gaoliu City are no longer important!"

Xuan Zun immediately looked at him with a cold gaze, full of contempt.

The visitor was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed and said: "The leader of the twelve phases of the Qifeng Mansion, the junior Chen Long, has already selected a place for Xuanzun to bury the Saint Master!"

Xuanzun did not respond and just looked at the person who came.

“Xuan Zun, you may not know that this human saint master has mastered the method of the old gods, called Lotus Steps. When he escapes, his speed is so fast that it is shocking.”

Chen Long didn't explain it clearly.

But Xuanzun already knew what he meant.

The human race's holy master, escapes extremely quickly.

However, this giant turtle is a bit slower than other demon kings at the same level.

So it is not necessarily possible to hunt down the human race’s saint master!
"We have made all the preparations. We only need Xuanzun to move and wait... Within a few days, the Saint Master of the Human Race will fall into the trap!"

"How can I trust you?" Xuanzun's voice was low and cold: "How do I know that you are not the same human race, and you are deceiving me for him?"

"All of us, Jie Jin, serve the true God! Although it is a shame for us to be born into the human race, we all have the guidance of the true God and have firm faith. I believe that one day, we will be able to completely get rid of our human identity and become true apostles of the gods!"

"Although we have never met Xuan Zun in the past, we now have a common goal..."

Chen Long looked solemn and bowed, saying, "That is to kill the Saint Master, cut off the path of the human race, suppress the human race's destiny, and break the human race's backbone!"
