"Shi Mu, although your cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Saint level, there are frequent wars in the Tianhe Star Territory, and the journey is far away. It is really dangerous to leave the clan rashly. You... should think about it again. After all, you
I have a special status..." Bai Zang said with a worried look on his face.
"Elder Bai Zang, there is no need to persuade anymore. Shi Mu has made up his mind. This is the best way to solve the current predicament. No matter what, I will give it a try. As for safety, I am sure of it." Shi Mu said to him.
Zang smiled and said.
"Have you decided that you must go?" Great Elder Bai Pu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, I wonder if the Great Elder has any information about this celebration?" Shi Mu solemnly nodded and asked in a different direction.
"In that case, okay! The Tianfeng clan mainly inhabits Suzaku Star, a main star in the southern part of the Tianhe Star Region. Three months later, the celebration will be held in the Fengming Valley, the holy land of their clan." Bai Pu pondered for a moment.
, nodded.
"Thank you." Shi Mu bowed and said.
Bai Zang's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to persuade Shi Mu a few words, but when he saw Shi Mu smiling and shaking his head at him, he had to give up, bowed his hands to the two of them, and walked out of the hall on his own.
Shi Mu also wanted to leave, but before he reached the entrance of the palace, he heard Bai Pu's voice coming from behind:
"Shi Mu, please leave soon."
"Great Elder, what else can you do?" Shi Mu turned around and walked back to the center of the hall, asking in surprise.
"I have something unclear." Bai Pu said, looking at Shi Mu.
"The Great Elder wants to ask why I must go to the Tianfeng Clan, right?" Shi Mu smiled slightly and said:
Bai Pu was silent.
"Great Elder, please rest assured that my trip to the Tianfeng Clan this time is indeed to find a way out for the entire Mighty Giant Ape Clan. However, in addition to what I mentioned before, there are indeed some other factors, but I cannot say them clearly at this moment.
Please forgive me." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and said.
"Since that great battle, the vitality of the clan has been severely damaged, and it has not recovered even after thousands of years. Many clan members have lost their fighting spirit and do not want to increase casualties. Although I am the great elder, I cannot forcefully disobey my clan members.
I hope you can understand my wishes." Bai Pu said in a deep voice, somewhat helpless in his words.
"Shi Mu understands that it is difficult for the Great Elder." Shi Mu nodded slightly.
Bai Pu raised one hand and tapped the purple-red wooden staff in the air in front of him. A ball of light immediately lit up at the top of the wooden staff, and a blood-red crystal jade hairpin emerged from it and flew to Shi Mu.
forward.
Shi Mu was startled, raised his hand, took the jade hairpin in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
The head of this jade hairpin is like a phoenix, and the carving is lifelike. The body of the hairpin is as transparent as crystal and as warm as jade. There are red filaments inside, which look like bloodstains. It is very strange.
"What does this mean, Great Elder?" Shi Mu looked up at Bai Pu and asked with some confusion.
"This phoenix blood jade hairpin is called 'Nirvana'. According to legend, it was condensed from the essence and blood of the first generation Tianfeng clan leader when he was reborn in nirvana. It contains a pure strand of Tianfeng blood. It is one of the several sacred weapons of the Tianfeng clan.
, is very important to the Tianfeng Clan." Bai Pu said.
"How come the sacred weapon of the Tianfeng Clan is among the Giant Ape Clan?" Shi Mu asked with some confusion.
"This is a token sent by the Tianfeng Clan when they formed an alliance with the Mitian Giant Ape Clan. Please bring this with you when you go this time." Bai Pu pondered for a moment, and said with a look of reminiscence on his face.
"This thing is so valuable, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to carry it with me." Shi Mu quickly waved his hand and declined.
"Our Mighty Giant Ape Clan is sealed here and has not been around for a long time. We did not even receive an invitation from the Tianfeng Clan to hold the Holy Maiden Succession Ceremony. Without this Phoenix Hairpin, how could you enter Tianfeng?
A clan?" Bai Pu looked down at Shi Mu and said.
"Thank you very much, elder." Shi Mu heard this and without saying a word, carefully put away the Nirvana jade hairpin and said thanks to Bai Pu.
"Haha, why bother saying thank you? Since you are already the fourth elder of our clan, you represent our giant ape clan. You must remember that although our clan has declined now and is far inferior to what it was back then, in front of other clans,
But it can never destroy the majesty." Bai Pu's voice suddenly rose and he said loudly.
"Don't worry, First Elder. The First Elder will continue to worry about the affairs of the clan in the future. Although the spies from the Heavenly Court have temporarily withdrawn, I'm afraid they won't give up. There are some undercurrents in the clan, and they are not united." Shi Mu solemnly said
said.
"I will pay attention to this matter. You can leave in peace. If those heavenly spies still dare to show up, I will not take it lightly. Don't blame the people in the clan. Some of them want to live in peace, and some want to live in peace.
We have to hide our capabilities and bide our time, so much so that we deceive ourselves so much that we cannot see the situation that our giant ape family is facing now." Bai Pu said.
"Shi Mu understands." Shi Mu nodded and said.
"It's a long way to go, and the situation in the star field is turbulent. I don't know how many disturbances there will be. Do you have any other requests or needs? I will try my best to satisfy you." Bai Pu said.
"By the way, I wonder if the Great Elder knows how to get to Suzaku Star from here?" Shi Mu thought of something and asked quickly.
"As far as I know, if you want to go to Suzaku Star, you must first pass through Kulin Star." Bai Pu thought for a while and said.
"Kulin Star?" Shi Mu pondered.
"That's right. The Milky Way Star Territory is long and slender. Kulin Star is located at the key pass of this star territory. It is a must-see. You can also get more information there." Bai Pu said.
"Kulin Star? This name seems familiar. It seems that I have heard it somewhere." Shi Mu frowned slightly.
He seemed to have seen this star somewhere, but for a moment, he couldn't remember it.
"Haha, this Kulin Star is indeed a place with great origins in the Tianhe Star Territory. It was originally one of the eight ancient tribes and the main star of the Flying Rat Clan." Bai Pu chuckled.
"Didn't the Flying Rat Tribe disappear long ago?" Shi Mu asked.
"It's hard to say. You must know that the Flying Rat Clan back then was the most prosperous among the eight ancient tribes in the wilderness. It was also considered an anomaly. Most of its members were ghost-like. Perhaps they lived in seclusion like our Mighty Giant Ape Clan.
Yes, maybe." Bai Pu said noncommittally.
"What about after arriving at Kulin Star?" Shi Mu nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"After you get there, you have two routes to choose from. One of them is closer and only takes more than half a month. However, many planet teleportation formations on this route may be damaged due to years of war.
, so it may be necessary to cross by warship. And because of the war, there are often chaotic storms raging in this sea of stars, so it is not safe." Bai Pu said.
"What about the other one?" Shi Mu asked.
"The other route requires a detour, and you can no longer go through the sea of stars in the first route, so the route is longer and takes about more than a month, but it is relatively safe. There are still three months until the Tianfeng Clan celebration.
Time, so if you go here, you have plenty of time. These two roads are here, you can see for yourself." Bai Pu said, took out a jade slip from his arms with one hand, put it on his forehead, and then threw it away.
Gave it to Shi Mu.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your advice." Shi Mu put away the jade slip and bowed before saying.
"Be careful when you go here. No matter what happens, you must come back safely." A slight solemn look appeared on the old and white face, and he warned again:
Shi Mu nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left.
He had just come out of the main hall when he saw Cai'er flying over with fluttering wings.
"Shitou, what are you doing in there? Why did you stay there for so long? I see that the other monkeys have already come out." Cai'er asked.
"We'll talk about it when we get back," Shi Mu said.
After saying that, he waved his hand to summon the Dragon Feather Speedster and flew towards the cave with Cai'er.
The original cave had been destroyed, and the newly opened cave was just a large cave. Since then, Bai Yao and Baifeng were transferred away for unknown reasons and no longer served as Shi Mu's attendants.
After entering the grotto, Shi Mu said to Cai'er: "We have to pack up and leave here."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Cai'er asked in surprise.
"Suzaku Star, Tianfeng Clan." Shi Mu replied.
"Great, Shitou, we are going to find your wife..."
Before Cai'er finished speaking, a ray of light lit up inside the grotto, the void rippled, and a graceful figure appeared beside Shi Mu.
"Yanluo?" Shi Mu shouted in surprise.
The person who came was none other than Yan Luo. She was wearing a set of silver armor, which perfectly set off her slim and graceful figure. She glanced at Cai'er with her beautiful eyes, but she didn't seem to have any emotion at all.
Cai'er was a little frightened by what she saw. She quickly flew to Shi Mu's shoulder and whispered softly: "Shi Shi, you summoned her before, but she didn't come. Why did she suddenly appear now? Could it be that she heard..."
"Stop talking, go out and look after the door." Shi Mu raised his hand and knocked Cai'er off his shoulder, and ordered.
Yanluo seemed to have something wrong with his expression. He suddenly appeared at this moment, fearing that he had something to tell him.
Although Cai'er had a sharp tongue, she was very discerning. Seeing that the situation was not right, she immediately slipped out.
After driving Cai'er away, Shi Mu took a closer look at Yanluo, only to find that her face was a little pale and her aura seemed a little unstable.
"Yanluo, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're seriously injured? Did something happen?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he asked with concern.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs. I'm here this time just to tell you that the Tianhe Star Territory is far more dangerous than you think. In addition, during this period of time, I may not be able to help you. You yourself
Take care." Yanluo waved his hand casually and said.
Shi Mu opened his mouth and wanted to ask something else, but in the end he didn't ask.
He knew that given Yanluo's character, if he said he wouldn't worry about it, then no matter how much he asked, it would be in vain.
"What did Cai'er just say...?" Yanluo hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"I'm going to the Suzaku Star where the Tianfeng Clan is located soon. Zhong Xiu may be there." Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly replied.
After Yan Luo heard this, he nodded slightly without any change in his expression. He just said "take care" lightly, and then his body turned into a ray of light and disappeared from the place.
