Chapter 230 Being chased
After calming down, Gu Yuchuan began to carefully examine the clues around him. Among all the burial objects, the fox tail was really inconspicuous and had no spiritual light at all. Anyone who saw it would think it was just trash.
If the other party took this item, it means they knew the origin of the fox tail, which might mean they left some clues behind.
He searched the tombstone carefully several times and actually found some clues. Inside the tombstone, there was a demonic script: "The real fox tail has been taken by the Qingqiu Fox Clan. If anyone wants to obtain it, they should go to Qingqiu to find it."
He murmured the two words "Qingqiu." For a transmigrator, the name "Qingqiu" was very familiar, having appeared countless times in literary works from his previous life.
Legend has it that Qingqiu is the sacred land of the fox clan and the demon clan. The foxes who come from there have noble bloodlines and great strength, and are known as the royal bloodline of the fox clan.
Moreover, the wonders of Qingqiu go far beyond this. While the reputation of the entire fox clan is not good, the fox clan of Qingqiu is regarded as auspicious. The fox clan in the world is divided into two parts: other fox clans are monsters, evil spirits, and things that seduce people, but when the fox spirits of Qingqiu appear, they represent auspiciousness and are sacred beasts.
Legend has it that this was because a powerful fox spirit from Qingqiu married the human emperor Xuanyuan and contributed greatly to Xuanyuan's path to enlightenment, thus securing these benefits for Qingqiu.
This is similar to the Dragon Clan in some ways: investing in the Human Clan in advance, taking a stake in the Human Clan, so that their descendants will not be excluded by the Human Clan's fortune, making it easier for them to cultivate and travel.
The fact that this thing was taken by someone from their own clan is actually good news. They probably want Xiaowei back too, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to ask for it.
However, he was still a little uncomfortable. He didn't know if the Nascent Soul cultivator from Qingqiu could tell that he was a cultivator from another world. If he could, would he be in danger? This Nascent Soul cultivator must know about the World War. If the other party made a move, how would he survive?
But there's no other way now. He came to this world for Xiao Wei's sake and hasn't done anything bad to the world. Even if the other party discovers his identity from another world, he won't have a chance to explain. In the end, he decided to go to Qingqiu to take a look. After all, this is the only path to complete the mission, and he really didn't have a choice.
He used his magic to ignite the fake tail in front of him, and the route to Qingqiu appeared before him. In an instant, he understood how to get there. The journey was indeed not short. Even if he flew there at full speed, it would take him almost half a month. It was not good news, as he really hated traveling.
Therefore, creating a flying boat magic weapon is a very important matter. He decided that once he returned to the Flood Dragon Palace, he would put this matter on the agenda and give it a very high priority, as he really hated traveling.
However, as a strategic large-scale magical artifact, the blueprints and materials for building this flying boat are extremely rare, and the difficulty of its forging is also very high. The forging period can even exceed one month, so this will definitely keep you busy.
Without these things, he can only fly slowly through the air, which must be very tiring.
In the distant Shen family ancestral hall, a clear voice rang out. The one in charge of guarding the ancestral hall was an old man in the Foundation Establishment stage. After entering to check, he collapsed to the ground, and turbid tears dripped down his face.
"It's terrible! The three ancestors, Chi Yan, Qing Feng, and Ming Yue, have fallen."
His voice caused chaos throughout the Shen family. The most powerful cultivators in the Shen family were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and there were only three of them. Those at the Golden Core stage were the mainstays of the family and the ancestors of their respective branches. When the people of their branches heard that their ancestors had died, their faces were ashen.
Although they all share the surname Shen, the Shen family has been passed down for so many years that it has long since branched out into many lineages based on bloodline. In the past, their lineages had powerful Golden Core ancestors, so they naturally had a lot of resources. But now that their Golden Core ancestors are dead, their status is different, even worlds apart.
But the one who is angrier the most right now is the patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Yutang.
It was he who made the decision to send three Golden Core cultivators on a mission. These were his juniors, and he was the one who caused their deaths.
But is it reasonable that three mid-stage Golden Core cultivators wouldn't agree to the request of a single early-stage Golden Core cultivator? It all sounds incredibly absurd.
He couldn't catch his breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Very well, I'd like to see just how powerful a Golden Core stage demon like you really is."
At this moment, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage walked in. His face was solemn; that was Shen Yan'an's father. Shen Mo.
"Ancestor, what exactly happened? How did all three of them die together?"
The patriarch of the Shen family took a deep breath, composed himself, and told him what had happened. Shen Mo knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, his tone calm.
"Please, Ancestor, allow me to fight. I already know how to kill him and avenge our people."
However, the Shen family patriarch refused. His voice was filled with intense killing intent: "No, I'm not a fool. Since a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator couldn't kill him, and even died at his hands, then a peak Golden Core cultivator must also be in danger. Even if the danger is only a little bit, negligible, I can't take the risk. So, I'll go myself. I want to see what this Golden Core monster is all about."
As a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, Shen Yutang was just one step away from becoming a Divine Transformation Venerable. His strength was unfathomable. He had no chance of surviving if he killed Gu Yuchuan. After making this decision, he immediately set off.
When he arrived at the place where the three had died, it was already half a day later. Gu Yuchuan had already walked quite a distance. Looking at the children's remains, his eyes reddened again.
This is one of the advantages of a cultivation family. The family head genuinely cares for the cultivators below. If you have talent, they are truly willing to nurture you because you are related by blood. If you become powerful, the family head will also benefit. Unlike sects, where people focus more on their own contributions when trying to gain something.
With a wave of his hand, he collected the remains of the three men. The Shen family had its own cemetery, and since he was here, he wouldn't let these people's bodies be left to rot in the wilderness.
After calming himself down, he began to deduce Gu Yuchuan's location. Although he had concealed his route, his magical power was far too weak compared to Shen Yutang's. The other party could easily detect his whereabouts and there was no way he could escape.
