Regarding the decision made by Ling Mo Xie and his companions, the members of the Chiling Clan naturally had no say in the matter. After all, they had already been defeated by Ling Mo Xie and could only watch as he and his companions prepared to rest for the night.
Upon hearing the conversation among Ling Mo Xie and his group, the Chiling Clan members felt a bit puzzled. Could it be that these individuals were truly not under Cang Qi's command?
All the Chiling Clan members exchanged glances, filled with hesitation and doubt. Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie and his companions were not polite; they found a spot among the Chiling Clan's area to sit down and started a campfire. The area was sparsely dotted with houses resembling tents. Although they were not being courteous, Ling Mo Xie and his group did not casually enter anyone's dwelling.
Instead, they settled down in the open space among the small tents, engaged in conversation, and prepared to rest.
At this point, the Chiling Clan members had regained their composure and began to believe that Ling Mo Xie and his companions were indeed not under Cang Qi's command.
One elder from the Chiling Clan wandered around Ling Mo Xie's group for a while before approaching them. Hesitantly, he asked, "Are you... really not people of Cang Qi?"
Before Ling Mo Xie could respond, Hong Chi rolled his eyes and impatiently said, "No, we are not! We already said we are not. If you don't believe it, then just drop it. Why keep asking? Are you annoying or what?"
The elder was taken aback by Hong Chi's words and didn't know how to respond. It seemed that their suspicion was indeed too heavy.
Ling Mo Xie shot Hong Chi a glare. "How can you speak like that?"
He then turned to the Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe and said, "We truly are not under Cang Qi's command. However, we came here to find something, perhaps something that belongs to Cang Qi."
Ling Mo Xie did not hide anything from the elder. Although it was very likely that the Control Key of the Demon Tomb was something guarded by the Chiling Clan, which could lead to additional obstacles.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, the elder paused for a moment and murmured to himself, "Came here?"
His expression became somewhat complex as if he recalled something. He then said to Ling Mo Xie, "Now I believe you are not people of Cang Qi. Since you also came for that thing, I might as well tell you that Cang Qi intends to use that thing to escape this realm. He yearns for a broader world; his ambition is too great for this place to contain him."
"Escape this realm?" Ling Mo Xie muttered to himself before looking at the Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe. "You are also not from this realm; you came from outside?"
The Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe shook his head and sat down not far from Ling Mo Xie. Since he had confirmed that Ling Mo Xie and his companions were not under Cang Qi's command, he relaxed his guard and said, "Our Ancestors have lived here since time immemorial. They have always guarded that thing; no one knows why we must protect it or what it means to us."
"Ancestors?" Ling Mo Xie frowned. Although the Heavenly Demon Sect had ascended long ago, it seemed too soon for the Chiling Clan members to speak of their Ancestors in such a way.
Could it be that he guessed wrong? Was what the Chiling Clan guarded not what he thought was the Demon Tomb Control Key?
The Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe did not notice Ling Mo Xie's confusion but continued speaking on his own. "It is good that you have come; there has long been a prophecy in our clan that thing will eventually be taken away by outsiders. Since that is so, I am willing to take you to find Cang Qi tomorrow."
"Well... thank you very much, Old Man." Ling Mo Xie expressed his gratitude to the elder but remained filled with doubts in his heart. However, it didn't matter; everything would be revealed tomorrow.
Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe heard Ling Mo Xie's thanks and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing. As long as we can take that thing back from Cang Qi, that's all that matters. It's just..."
"What is it?" Ling Mo Xie pressed.
The elder looked into the distance and shook his head, saying, "That Cang Qi is quite extraordinary and possesses various abilities. We may not necessarily be able to defeat him!"
Ling Mo Xie frowned. Is this so-called Cang Qi really a Not Bad character? However, in this small world, even if he is a Not Bad character, he shouldn't be too formidable, right? After all, the rules of this world are not complete; many powers of the world's rules cannot be utilized. Only the physical rules are relatively intact, but these are too weak against Spell.
Regarding this point, after witnessing the combat power of the Chiling Clan, Ling Mo Xie still had some confidence in himself and his companions. He patted the shoulder of the Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe and said, "You can rest assured about this. With us around, there shouldn't be any problems. We'll also take care of that white-eyed wolf, Cang Qi."
"In that case, thank you very much," said the Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe, nodding at Ling Mo Xie and his companions. Xu Qingfeng and Luo Yan nodded in response, while Hong Chi merely curled his lip with an indifferent expression.
The Elder of the Chi Ling Tribe did not seek to make things awkward; he simply called for food to be brought in and summoned other members of the Chiling Clan to share some jokes with Ling Mo Xie and his companions, easing the tense atmosphere between the two parties.
Ling Mo Xie and his companions were not ones to hold grudges; they quickly mingled with the members of the Chiling Clan and learned a lot about this space.
This space was quite large, featuring high mountains and lakes as well as grasslands and basins. Besides the people of the Chiling Clan, there should also be other inhabitants, though they were more primitive and backward than the Chiling Clan, struggling to survive.
And Cang Qi was one such member of a small tribe who had been rescued from a beast by the people of the Chiling Clan. Since then, he had lived among them and learned their martial arts-like cultivation methods.
Having received cultivation methods after struggling for survival in a beast's mouth, the small tribe's Cang Qi worked extremely hard and had high innate talent. He quickly grew into a master within the Chiling Clan. However, somehow he learned about the ancestral treasure of the Chiling Clan, which could allow him to leave this small world for a broader one, naturally igniting his ambitions.
In any case, the final situation was that Cang Qi stole the ancestral treasure of the Chiling Clan and ran away. When the people of the Chiling Clan found him just a month later, he had already developed many miraculous techniques. Even if the entire clan exerted their strength, they were no match for Cang Qi.
"Miraculous techniques?" Ling Mo Xie stroked his chin. He secretly noted what the elder said but did not feel intimidated before even starting to fight.
After being chased by a pack of wolves and lingering around this gathering place of the Chiling Clan, most of one night had already passed, so dawn soon arrived.
Since it was very likely that the Evil Ridge Sect Leader had also entered this small space, to prevent him from gaining an advantage, as soon as dawn broke, Ling Mo Xie called for that elder from the Chiling Clan. He later learned that this lean old man was actually the leader of the Chiling Clan, so seeking him out was certainly correct.
The elder was quite surprised that Ling Mo Xie and his companions seemed even more anxious than their own people. However, he did not say anything about it; soon all members of the Chiling Clan were gathered together with various weapons in hand—about a hundred people—giving off quite an imposing aura. Yet, Ling Mo Xie and his companions felt indifferent; although there were many people, their combat strength was not strong.
With an expression of boredom on his face, Ling Mo Xie watched as the elder rallied his clansmen before finally announcing their departure.
Ling Mo Xie, along with his companions and the elder from the Chiling Clan, walked at the forefront. With guidance from the elder, traversing this vast grassland that looked identical in every direction was no longer an issue.
As expected, Ling Mo Xie found that where Cang Qi was located was not far from where the people of the Chiling Clan resided. The group moved forward without much delay until finally stopping when they reached a certain point. The elder turned to Ling Mo Xie, saying, "Just ahead is where he is. You all need to be careful; Cang Qi may have gained something from that object and is now quite formidable. It is said that obtaining that object not only allows one to leave this small world but can also enable one to become a respected figure in a broader realm!"
Ling Mo Xie looked at the ordinary green grassland in front of him with confusion, questioning the words of the Chiling Clan Elder. "Is this really it? But this is just a regular patch of grass; there’s no sign of Cang Qi here. He can't possibly be living underground, right?"
The Chiling Clan Elder noticed Ling Mo Xie's confusion and didn't elaborate much, simply saying, "Get a little closer, and you'll understand. With so many of us, we can't hide; we might have already been discovered."
Ling Mo Xie nodded. With so many people, they had no choice but to approach openly.
"Ha ha, Chiling Clan members? You dare to come here? It seems you haven't learned your lesson!" Sure enough, after walking a bit further, they heard mocking voices accompanied by loud laughter.
The Chiling Clan Elder's expression changed, and he said to Ling Mo Xie, "That's Cang Qi; he has indeed discovered us."
Ling Mo Xie felt speechless; what was there to say? With so many people coming, they had no intention of hiding.
Ling Mo Xie could also see that the Chiling Clan Elder seemed quite nervous. It appeared that Cang Qi was indeed formidable; the Elder must have suffered losses at his hands before.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo Xie became more serious. Although the Chiling Clan members were not strong in combat, their numbers were considerable. With over a hundred people rushing forward, Ling Mo Xie and his companions would have to put in some effort. Since Cang Qi had managed to make the Chiling Clan Elder suffer, he certainly had some skills and should not be underestimated.
"It's Cang Qi! It's Cang Qi..." At this moment, the Chiling Clan members following behind began to discuss among themselves, their expressions showing signs of panic. It seemed they had some trauma regarding Cang Qi.
This made Ling Mo Xie and Xu Qingfeng exchange glances, silently reinforcing their guard.
