The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 120: Elder Tianque: Get ready and go to my Nine Nether Bird clan to propose marriage...

The next day,

In the Daluo Realm, inside the Tianyan Palace.

Lu Chen sat in the first seat, and below him were Jiuyou, Tang Bing and others, but Jiuyou seemed a little absent-minded.

Lu Chen knew what she was worried about, but there was no point in saying more at this time. It would be better to wait until the people from the Nine Nether Bird clan arrived.

After a while,

The main door of the hall slowly opened, and two figures, one old and one young, slowly walked into the Tianyan Hall.

The leader was an old man in a green robe with a skylark appearing on the robe. He exuded a strong sense of oppression with his every move.

Behind the old man in green robe was a slender young man, who was also dressed in green. He looked handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. There was a sharp color between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people pay attention to him.

"Lower Earth Supreme..."

Seeing the powerful aura emanating from the old man in green robe, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and thought secretly in his heart, as for that young man, he was just a sixth-grade supreme being and was not taken seriously by him.

"Are you Lu Chen?"

As the old man in green robe stepped into the hall, his sharp eyes locked on Lu Chen, who was sitting in the first seat, and then an astonishing spiritual power pressure swept over him.

Everyone in the hall except Jiuyou groaned, feeling as if they were hit by a mountain, causing the blood in their bodies to churn.

Only Lu Chen had a brilliant golden light blooming around him, and he was able to bear the pressure. He took a step forward, and a powerful force of blood and energy spread out from his body, protecting everyone behind him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing this, the old man in green robe raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lu Chen lightly, sneered, and said: "Young man, your body is quite good."

Lu Chen frowned, then stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I guess this must be the Tianque Elder that Sister Jiuyou mentioned?"

"Junior Lu Chen, I invited you here today to discuss the matter of Jiuyou. If you have anything to say, please come to me. Please don't involve others."

Upon hearing this, before Elder Tianque could speak, the young man in a green robe behind him curled his lips in disdain and said, "Discuss?"

"What is there to discuss? Jiuyou is the one with the purest bloodline in our Jiuyouque clan in thousands of years. Even if we want to establish a bloodline link, it should be with a divine beast with the same high-level bloodline!"

"How could you, an ordinary boy, deserve such a blessing? Come back to our tribe with us and let us sever the bloodline link between you and Jiuyou. It will be better for both of you."

"May I ask who you are?"

Seeing the young man speaking, Lu Chen said in a slightly cold tone.

"I am Liu Qing, the deacon of our clan's law enforcement hall."

The handsome young man raised his neck and said proudly.

"Can you decide on the matter of Jiuyou?"

Lu Chen's eyes gradually became sharper, and he spoke in a cold tone.

"No, but as a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, I have the authority to arrest inferior humans like you who have tarnished our bloodline!"

Liu Qing shouted sternly, his tone showing no sign of compromise.

"Liu Qing, don't worry about my business!"

Hearing this, before Lu Chen could reply, Jiuyou on the side shouted angrily, "I was severely injured back then. If I hadn't met Lu Chen, I would have died in the thunder tribulation by now. After all, he is the benefactor of my Jiuyou Bird Clan. Are you planning to repay kindness with hatred now?!"

"I……"

Facing Jiuyou's scolding, Liu Qing wanted to say something else, but Elder Tianque waved his hand to stop him.

The Skybird Elder looked at Jiuyou deeply, then sighed and said, "Jiuyou, I know you value friendship, but your bloodline is too important to my Jiuyouque clan. I saw your life tablet in the ancestral hall not long ago."

"I noticed your life plate has a slightly turbid quality. That's because your bloodline has been contaminated. You know that my spirit beast race has the most important bloodline. Over the past millennia, there have been countless examples of our Nine Nether Sparrow evolving into the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow and the Nine Nether Cold Sparrow, but you are the only one who has evolved into the Nine Nether Dark Sparrow."

"So my mission this time is not only to bring you back, but also to deal with the matter of your bloodline being polluted."

"Even if the means are a bit extreme, for the sake of the prosperity and decline of my Nine Nether Bird clan, what does it matter?"

After saying this, a cold light flashed in Elder Tianque's eyes, and his tone revealed a hint of sharpness and determination.

Jiuyou's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, but she also knew how much the clan valued her. After all, only by awakening the Nine Nether Bird bloodline could she evolve into the ancient phoenix, a terrifying existence comparable to the Supreme Lord of Heaven.

The desire for a future Heavenly Supreme was enough to convince the Nine Nether Birds to give her an almost pathological level of protection. After all, the entire Nine Nether Birds hadn't produced a Heavenly Supreme in thousands of years!
Hearing this, Lu Chen gently pulled Jiuyou behind him and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, Elder Tianque. Since I have invited you to discuss this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Why don't you take a look at this technique first?"

After saying that, Lu Chen clenched his hand, and a golden jade slip appeared in his hand. He slowly handed it to the Tianque Elder in front of him.

Elder Tianque frowned and said, "What tricks are you trying to play, kid?"

Even though he said this, he still took the jade slip, put his mind into it, and subconsciously scanned it. Then his whole body trembled, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in horror: "This is impossible!"

"How can there be such a technique in the world?"

"Boy, where did you get this technique?"

Tianque spoke in a hurried tone, completely lacking his previous calmness and indifference.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This technique was obtained from Longfengtian."

"Longfengtian?"

Elder Tianque frowned and said, "Is it the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven in the Northern Realm? I have heard of that place. We have sent our clansmen there before, and although we have gained some, we have never obtained a technique of this level."

"This is an opportunity that can only be obtained by those who have reached the tenth step of the Dragon and Phoenix Ladder in the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven, and Lu Chen is the only one who has reached the tenth step so far."

Hearing this, Jiuyou crossed his arms, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

Elder Tianque was speechless. Not to mention the tenth step, even the ninth step seemed to have never been climbed by those outstanding tribesmen they had sent out in the past.

From this perspective, it may not be a bad thing for Jiuyou to be tied to this little guy named Lu Chen.

Maybe, it was their Nine Nether Bird clan that got the big advantage.

Thinking of this, Elder Tianque looked at Lu Chen deeply, and then said meaningfully: "This technique is of great importance. I need to bring it back to the clan immediately."

"Since you can come up with such a technique to explain it, I have no objections. I will report everything that happened here to the clan leader and the elders council to see how they deal with you."

"But I'm sure they won't say much. You should get ready and go to my Nine Nether Bird clan to propose marriage."

"Since the elders have no objection, huh? What? Proposing marriage?"

"When did I say that?"

After hearing the first half of Elder Tianque's words, Lu Chen had a smile on his face, but it immediately turned into a look of astonishment, and he said in surprise.

"Don't worry, I understand. Young people are thick-skinned. It's easy to talk to the clan leader."

Hearing this, an ambiguous smile appeared on Tianque's old face, and his eyes were full of teasing and encouragement.

Lu Chen's eyes widened as he muttered to himself, "No, what does this have to do with proposing marriage? Aren't we discussing the Nine Nether Bloodline?"

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly felt someone pulling him from behind.

Turning his head to look at Jiuyou, he saw a faint blush on her cheeks. She bit her red lips and whispered to herself, "I'm afraid you can't convince them, so tell them that we have secretly decided to spend our lives together."

"At least this way they'll consider my feelings when they want to harm you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned on the spot.

Just as he was stunned, the Skybird Elder said with a smile: "My friend, this matter is over. See you next time in the clan."

"By then, maybe I'll even call you uncle?"

"Hahaha!"

Elder Tianque laughed heartily, his tone full of relief.

With such talent and generosity, no matter what other people in the clan think, he has accepted the marriage.

After saying that, before Lu Chen could react, Elder Tianque had already waved his sleeves, stirring up a gust of wind, and quickly flew towards the distant sky!
At the same time, he did not forget to take away Liu Qing, who was watching with a confused look on his face.

Within the main hall,

Lu Chen and Jiu You looked at each other, one was filled with shame and anger, the other was full of embarrassment, and both were speechless.
