Chapter 2115: Ancestor Kunpeng!
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice:
"I am Zhou Yu."
"Invited by your noble Feng Hai, I am here to escort him back to the clan!"
"Feng Hai?" The elder raised an eyebrow, showing a look of surprise.
Without a word, Zhou Yu directly took out Feng Hai’s token.
Upon seeing it, the elder nodded thoughtfully.
"Since you are Feng Hai’s honored guest, then you are also an honored guest of my Golden Roc Clan."
"However, there is one thing I must ask clearly."
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"What is it?"
"Do you have the bloodline of our Peng Clan in you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.
As expected, the phenomenon just now was related to the divine blood in his body.
But Zhou Yu feigned a bewildered look and said:
"Elder, you must be joking."
"I am of the Human Race and have never had any contact with the Peng Clan. This is my first time in your noble clan."
"How could I have the bloodline of your noble clan!"
At this moment, another elder came over.
Looking at Zhou Yu, he said:
"Logically, if you are not one of my Peng Clan, you should not have our bloodline."
"However, there are exceptions to everything."
"For instance, if a woman of my Peng Clan were to become a Dao companion with someone of the Human Race, there is a small probability that their descendants might have the Peng Clan bloodline."
"Zhou Yu, is either of your parents related to my Peng Clan?"
Zhou Yu’s expression flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:
"Since childhood, I’ve only seen my father, never my mother."
"I only heard my father mention in passing that my mother was from another tribe."
"But he never told me which tribe specifically!"
Hearing this, both elders’ faces simultaneously lit up with excitement.
"That must be it."
"Your mother must be from my Peng Clan."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to have the Peng Clan bloodline."
Zhou Yu asked with a face full of confusion:
"Elders, why are you so certain that I carry the bloodline of your noble clan?"
Upon hearing this, the elder with graying hair chuckled and said:
"Zhou Yu, you may not be aware of this, but this Demon Suppression Tower is guarded by the ancestors of our Peng Clan."
"Within the tower lies a wisp of the True Soul left by the Ancestor."
"This wisp of True Soul remains in slumber, only awakened by those with Ancient Kunpeng Divine Blood!"
"And the phenomenon earlier was caused by the awakening of the Ancestor’s True Soul."
"Ancient Kunpeng!" Zhou Yu’s face showed a shocked expression.
His heart was extremely unsettled.
To know, the Ancient Kunpeng was far more formidable than the current Five Divine Beast Clans.
It was truly a top-tier Divine Beast.
Unexpectedly, the wisp of divine blood in his body was actually Ancient Kunpeng Divine Blood.
This was simply incredible.
How did the boy with the surname Long obtain something so miraculous?
At this moment, Zhou Yu realized that this was by no means a coincidence.
This wisp of divine blood was likely the boy with the surname Long’s greatest secret; otherwise, he wouldn’t have devised such a way to hide the divine blood.
To think that the boy’s meticulous plan ended up benefiting him.
If the boy knew, he might revive from anger.
Of course, these thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu’s mind quickly.
"Elders, this... can’t be wrong, can it?"
Zhou Yu continued to feign disbelief.
The elder with graying hair said excitedly:
"It cannot be wrong."
"Zhou Yu, although you have never been to the Peng Clan before, strictly speaking, you are indeed one of us."
"Currently, my Golden Roc Clan is indeed facing great trouble."
"However, the appearance of the Ancestor indicates that in times of crisis, your return to the clan foretells that you will help us overcome challenges."
"Zhou Yu, come with me to meet our Clan Leader!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath.
He quickly calculated in his mind.
Forcing an escape now was clearly unrealistic.
With Feng Hai and the so-called Ancient Kunpeng bloodline, and given the dire circumstances of the Golden Roc Clan, the likelihood of them acting against him should not be very high.
It’s worth taking a gamble.
If trouble arises, he still has a way to escape.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu nodded and said:
"Very well."
"In fact, I’d like to learn more about my own origins."
Seeing Zhou Yu agree, the two elders immediately said excitedly:
"Good, come with us!"
After speaking, the two elders led Zhou Yu towards the center of the city.
Soon, they arrived at a palace located in the city center.
Under the guidance of the two elders, Zhou Yu proceeded unimpeded to a courtyard within the palace.
At the entrance to the courtyard, the two elders respectfully said:
"Clan Leader, Zhou Yu has been brought."
"Come in!" came a female voice from inside.
The two elders looked at Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, we cannot enter the Clan Leader’s residence at will. You go in on your own."
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
It seemed as if he had made a wrong decision.
However, given the situation, it was impossible to back out now.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and then pushed the door open.
The scene inside the courtyard surprised him greatly.
The courtyard had no luxurious structures, appearing rather simple, with a few stone houses made of huge rocks.
It looked very plain.
In front of a stone house, a young woman was sitting.
This woman was quite different from other members of the Peng Clan.
Her entire form resembled the Human Race, with a slender and graceful physique.
The only difference from the Human Race was the pair of wings on her back.
These wings were of a pure golden color.
They gave off a very pure feeling.
Is this the Clan Leader of the Golden Roc Clan?
Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned.
At this time, the woman spoke: "Take a seat."
Zhou Yu snapped out of his daze, stepped forward, and cupped his hands:
"I will remain standing, elder!"
"Please give your direct instructions."
The woman said indifferently:
"It’s not about giving instructions."
"I just have some questions I need you to answer."
"Where from the Human Race do you hail?"
Although the woman seemed serene, Zhou Yu felt an overwhelming oppressive aura.
It made it almost impossible for him to lie.
Zhou Yu forcibly steadied his emotions.
"I hail from Fengyuan City of the Human Race!"
The woman nodded thoughtfully.
"So that’s the place."
"In fact, I have some acquaintance with Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate of your Human Race."
"Though members of the Human Race rarely appear in my Golden Roc Clan, many from my clan have traveled to the Human Race Land."
Zhou Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
"So that’s the case. It seems my lineage might indeed be connected to the Golden Roc Clan."
Zhou Yu’s words were a subtle way of trying to form a connection.
Given the woman’s ambiguous attitude, it wouldn’t hurt to build some rapport.
However, the woman’s next words sent a chill through Zhou Yu’s body.
"There is no need for you to pretend."
"You are not a member of my Peng Clan!"
