Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The ancient tribe of the Aobei is another ancient tribe in the mountains of Manghuang. The biggest difference between this ancient tribe and other ancient tribes in Manghuang is that it respects mothers! The leaders and elders are all women, and the inheritance of power is also passed on to women, not men.

The ancient Huobei people respected women very much. When a woman experienced her first physical change, the family would hold a celebration called "Menstrual Ceremony" to celebrate and bless the woman for having grown up and being able to participate in all activities within the tribe. Of course, it also meant that she could get married!

The most intolerable thing for the Hubei ancient tribe is adultery before marriage. They believe that this is a blasphemy against women and disrespect for the mother of the tribe! Both men and women involved will be punished most severely!

The ancient Huobei tribe has lived in groups on the Lihu Mountain for generations. The Lihu Mountain is located on a ridge east of the Lingxu Mountain and the Qihui Mountain. They have made a living by hunting for generations.

Today, the elder of the ancient Huobei tribe is leading more than a dozen tribesmen, carrying two tribesmen with bruises all over their bodies to sink them into the pond. One of the two bruised people is a boy and the other is a girl, both of them are from the ancient Huobei tribe, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Their appearances can no longer be seen clearly now, after all, they have been beaten and exposed to the sun in the tribe's execution ground for seven days, and their faces are nothing but bloodshot and pale.

After sinking into the pond today, if you survive in the water, you will be driven out of the ancient tribe’s settlement and left to fend for yourself. If you unfortunately die in the water, your body will be collected and buried at the foot of the Lihu Mountain. This will firstly serve as a warning to your tribe members, and secondly, it will mean that you have not left your relatives and tribe members.

The actual reason was very simple. The two boys and girls could not bear the throbbing of love and the impulse of lust. They enjoyed the wonderful moment of love in the dense forest of Lihu Mountain, and were punished by the clan rules. After seven days of punishment, they were thrown into the pond today to decide their life or death! However, now both of them were dying, and the consequences of being thrown into the pond were imaginable.

The place where they sank into the pool was exactly the Eclipse Lake in the Eclipse Valley!

Shen Yichen and Mu Wanqian were also stunned when they saw a dozen people in strange clothes surrounding the pool. They each pulled one person and flew out of the water and stood beside the pool.

"Who are you?"

Both sides asked.

"We are from the ancient tribe of the Hubei. We are punishing the sinners of our tribe at the Eclipse Moon Lake. Why are you here?"

A woman in her thirties, wearing clothes made of some unknown animal fur, looking a bit like a savage, answered Shen Yichen's question first. She was the elder of the ancient Huobei tribe who was leading the team this time.

"Our stuff accidentally fell into the pond, so we went into the pond to look for it!"

Shen Yichen decided to lie. After all, the situation was unclear. Who knew if they would start a fight for no apparent reason like the last time in Lingxu Mountain?

Mu Wanqian glared at Shen Yichen and said to herself:

"He doesn't even blush when he lies!"

But Mu Wanqian didn't say it out loud.

The female elder was thinking:

"You can't even lie, and you want to find something to jump into the water with? I don't believe you!"

But this has nothing to do with them, so she said politely:

"Please hand over our criminals to us!"

"They seem to be badly injured!"

As Shen Yichen spoke, he handed the person in his hand to the person from the ancient Huobei tribe next to him, and signaled Mu Wanqian with his eyes to hand over the person as well.

Mu Wanqian didn't think much about it. After all, this was a member of their same clan. She didn't know what was going on, so she gave the person to the people from the ancient Huobei clan next to her.

"Thank you very much, both of you!"

The female elder was still very polite because she knew that the two people in front of her were cultivators.

"You're welcome."

Shen Yichen said as he pulled Mu Wanqian and prepared to leave.

Shen Yichen didn't want to deal with the ancient tribes in Manghuang. Who knew if they had any connection with the Tuoba ancient tribe? And the woman who was talking obviously knew the technique.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

There were two more sounds of people falling into the water. Mu Wanqian, who had already left, looked back and did not even say hello to Shen Yichen. She directly pulled Shen Yichen back and fished the two people out of the water. She asked:

"What are you doing? They are already covered in wounds! The water is so icy cold, aren't you taking their lives lightly?"

Shen Yichen heard this and sighed in his heart:

"I really don't want to get involved, but I just can't leave you!"

He also didn't expect that his fellow tribesmen would throw the two injured people into the water!

He came behind Mu Wanqian and looked at the woman who knew the martial arts with vigilance. The others were all ordinary people from the ancient clan, so he was not afraid!

"My lady, this is an internal matter of our clan, please don't interfere!"

The female elder's tone was still very polite.

"What happened to them? They were already seriously injured and unconscious. As people of the same tribe, you not only didn't save them, but also threw them into this cold pond. Do you have any humanity at all? Manghuang is far away, are you really so inhumane?"

Mu Wanqian really still has the temper of a spoiled young lady!

"My dear aunt, this is obviously a family affair. It's easy to draw a sword when seeing injustice, but it's hard to put it away!"

Shen Yichen grumbled in his heart, but he couldn't ruin the show!

"These two people violated the rules of our tribe. This is the punishment they deserve. Please don't meddle in other people's business!"

The female elder's tone became a little stronger!

When Mu Wanqian heard that the two had violated the clan rules,

“This matter is not easy to manage!”

She herself is from a noble family, so of course she knows that if the family rules are violated, there will be corresponding punishments, and outsiders cannot interfere!

How could Shen Yichen know this? He just wanted to flatter me! He said softly:

"Since we saved them once, it means it was God's will. God wanted to keep the two of them alive!"

The female elder was a little angry and said:

"Are you two determined to take care of the affairs of our clan?"

"We have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Guigu clan, but the person is about to die, and we are still adding insult to injury. This is a bit inhumane!"

Mu Wanqian still wanted to save people, but she felt that the other party was too cruel!

No one from the surrounding ancient tribe said anything, because they knew from the moment Shen Yichen and Mu Wanqian flew out of the water that they were cultivators, and only the elders could talk to them.

Shen Yichen also felt that the people of the ancient Huobei tribe had gone a bit too far. The two were still unconscious at the moment, and sinking them directly into the pool was indeed a bit cruel and ruthless!

"In that case, don't blame me, the ancient tribe of Beibei, for being rude!"

After the female elder finished speaking, a dark blue light flashed around her body.

Shen Yichen was a little timid, he pulled Mu Wanqian and whispered:

"Why don't we just hand him over? After all, it's his own business!"

It would have been better if Shen Yichen didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, Mu Wanqian was immediately angry.

"You country bumpkin, you coward, this is a life! You stop them, I'll take them away!"

After Mu Wanqian finished speaking, she used her internal energy to lift up the two of them and flew out of the valley.

The female elder directly slapped Mu Wanqian with her palm. Shen Yichen flew up and used the Bodhi Heart Sutra to meet the palm force of the female elder. After one round, Shen Yichen retreated three steps and stabilized his body.

"Immortal Realm? Oh my god! How come the people of the ancient Manghuang clan are so strong!"

Shen Yichen was shocked.

Shen Yichen never thought that his cultivation was too low, so he basically stopped practicing!

"You bumpkin, get out of here!"

Mu Wanqian flew out of the valley and turned around and shouted to Shen Yichen.

Mu Wanqian did not want to be enemies with the people of the ancient Huobei tribe. She planned to return to Yingzhou after rescuing the people. It was impossible for the ancient Huobei tribe to chase her, so she focused on running and avoided fighting as much as possible.

"Where to go?"

The female elder flew up and chased in the direction of Mu Wanqian.

Shen Yichen flew up and stopped the female elder, while complaining in his heart:

"It's really not easy to make some money, you have to take care of all the trivial matters!"

Shen Yichen said as he fought:

"Senior, we really have no intention of being enemies with the ancient tribe of the Beibei. Anyway, we are saving people from your tribe, so please forgive us!"

"Senior, I'm offended!"

"The transformation of gods and demons!"

Shen Yichen shouted loudly, and countless dark shadows surrounded the female elder.

"Are you a demon?"

The female elder shouted while increasing her true energy, shattering countless demonic shadows, but there was no trace of Shen Yichen in the valley!

"Shameless!"

The female elder didn't use her full strength at the beginning. She didn't want to make enemies with the two of them, but she didn't expect Shen Yichen to take advantage of her.

He wanted to fly out of the valley and chase after him.

"Second Elder, come back. Since someone has come to rescue them, let them go to the outside of Manghuang and fend for themselves!"

In the void, a woman's voice stopped the female elder who was about to fly up.

"Yes, patriarch!"

The female elder led the people of the ancient Huobei tribe and left the Eclipse Moon Valley. She seemed unwilling in her heart, but in fact she did not want to be ruthless, otherwise she would not have hit Mu Wanqian with the first palm!

"You're not hurt?"

Mu Wanqian was surprised to see Shen Yichen catching up with her and finding him unharmed!

"A gentleman uses words instead of fists. I said a few nice words and she stopped chasing me!"

Shen Yichen had been using his spiritual sense to investigate all the way, and the female elder indeed did not follow him.

"What should we do? Where should we go? How can we save these two people?"

Mu Wanqian asked three questions in a row!

Unfortunately, Shen Yichen didn’t know how to answer any of them, and he didn’t know where this place was!

"Let's go east first and find the Jade Maiden River. We'll put the two of them in one place and then go find Xixi!"

"Okay! You come and hold these two!"

Mu Wanqian handed the two of them over to Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen looked helpless, but what could he do?

He used his internal energy to lift the two of them up, then flew away with Mu Wanqian to find the Jade Maiden River.

Guess where Shen Yichen, a person with poor sense of direction, went?

Xiangyun Villa!

Shen Yichen unexpectedly came to Xiangyun Villa again. It was really a fate!

And a familiar figure was seen at the gate of Xiangyun Villa!

She was wearing a black tulle skirt with dark patterns and a clear white face! It was Xixi!

How could Xixi be in Xiangyun Villa? Wasn't she in Fuchen Temple on Qihui Mountain?
