Chapter 584: The choice that determines the fate of the tribe!

Ye Junlin narrowed his eyes and stared at the dog noses and ears of the brother and sister. An idea emerged in his mind and he asked tentatively:

"What tribe are you from?"

The boy did not dare to hide anything from the silver-haired young man. After all, even the old man had to be respectful to him.

"Replying to the senior, we are from... the Tengu tribe!"

The Tengu tribe?!

Ye Junlin and his friends are no strangers to this race.

Because Gou Buli is a member of the Tengu clan, and he followed Empress Fuyao and served as their watchdog.

How many Immortal Emperors were frightened by the sound of a dog barking!

As for the Tengu clan, they must have had a very high status in those days. To some extent, they were comparable to the Emperor clan and had great glory.

After all, being able to become a saint's watchdog represents the saint's reputation. Who would dare to provoke him at that time? Do you think your life is too long?

did not expect.

The once glorious Tengu clan has now fallen from the altar into the dust and is the worst off of all the demon clans.

The tribesmen were displaced and had no fixed place to live. They were always at risk of being captured and used as food, and they lived in constant fear and anxiety.

If Gou Buli knew the situation of the Tengu tribe, I wonder what he would feel...

“Master, they are Senior Gou’s compatriots.” The Mushroom King said softly.

Ye Junlin nodded.

He still remembered that when he ascended to the immortal world, Gou Buli asked him to take care of the Tengu tribe if he met them, and also gave him a golden dog tag as a token of trust.

Thinking of this, a golden token appeared in Ye Junlin's hand. There was a dog head logo on it, which looked funny for some reason.

"Do you know this?"

When the dog-head token was taken out, the brother and sister opened their eyes wide, as if they had lost their souls.

"Brother, why is this so similar to the one worn by the clan leader?" the girl asked in surprise.

"Very similar, but also different. The tribe leader's piece is silver, and as for the gold one, I have never seen it before. But the patterns and patterns are very consistent..."

The boy's heart seemed to be in turmoil. He vaguely thought of a rumor within the tribe, but he was not sure.

Because this rumor is very old, so old that even the tribe leader is not sure it is true, many tribesmen just regard it as a legend to fool their children.

At this moment, seeing the golden dog tag in Ye Junlin's hand, the young man once again recalled the ancient rumor circulating in the clan. He felt inexplicably excited, yet was afraid that his joy was in vain.

A strange look flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes. He could see that the boy recognized something, but he was not sure.

Could it be that the token given by Lao Gou has important significance to the Tengu tribe today?

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the sign-in task. Go to the current residence of the Tengu tribe to complete the sign-in. You will be rewarded with a supreme immortal technique (advanced): Standing upright without a shadow! ]

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

"Hmm? Another market?"

Ye Junlin raised his eyebrows and checked the introduction of this skill.

Standing Invisible allows the caster to enter a state of emptiness, in which the caster cannot be hit by any force and is equivalent to nothingness. The emptiness time is currently two seconds, and the time can be further extended later, with no clear upper limit!

See this.

Ye Junlin was shocked.

This skill is awesome. It can make yourself invisible and make you immune to all damage in the process!

Although there are only two seconds at the moment, the battlefield changes rapidly and one second can decide life or death, let alone two seconds?

Also, if you are facing an attack like the Immortal-Destroying Talisman, two seconds of invisibility is enough to avoid most of the damage!

"Tongzi, this is good, I like it." Ye Junlin praised.

[Ding, as long as the host is satisfied! ]

The system responded.

After adjusting his mood, Ye Junlin coughed a few times and said seriously:

"Let me be frank. An elder from your clan is very familiar with me and once asked me to look after you. If you believe me, take me to where you are. I can help you get through this difficult time, so that you don't have to live like you are now."

Ye Junlin was thinking that while helping the Tengu tribe, he could also get a sign-in reward.

This kind of thing has the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

"Brother, we..." The girl tugged at the boy's sleeve, looking a little embarrassed.

The whereabouts of the Tengu tribe have always been kept secret from the outside world, for fear that they might be discovered by cultivators from outside.

Now, Ye Junlin was so direct that the girl didn’t know what to do, fearing that it was a bigger trap.

Because a long time ago, there was a similar example. A member of a tribe was rescued by a group of monks. That member was extremely grateful and moved by the monks' sincerity. He gradually let down all his guard and brought the monks to the tribe's residence.

However, this action almost brought about a catastrophic disaster!

While accepting the warm hospitality of the Tengu tribe, the group of monks secretly sent signals to the forces behind the scenes.

Soon, a large number of human cultivators came in a mighty force, intending to wipe out the Tengu tribe in one fell swoop.

In the critical moment, many elders of the Tengu tribe stepped forward and led their fellow tribesmen to fight bravely. In the end, they used self-destruction to cut off the team behind them, giving many compatriots a chance to escape, thus continuing the tribe's fire.

Although they survived the genocide crisis, the clan also suffered heavy losses and their overall strength was greatly reduced and was no longer as strong as before.

After that painful lesson, the tribe began to have an iron rule: no matter what happened, tribe members outside were not allowed to reveal the location of the tribe to outsiders.

Even death!

The elders also told the younger generations in the clan not to believe the slander of outside cultivators, and brought them to the clan as guests out of kindness.

The Tengu tribe today has no friends they can trust; the only people they can trust are themselves and their loved ones!

It is precisely this point that puts the girl in a dilemma.

She didn't believe that this group of people would lie to her, after all, they had just saved her. But she was also afraid of bringing trouble to the tribe, so she was very conflicted.

The boy's eyes changed continuously, knowing that this matter was very important and could even change the fate of the entire ethnic group.

With the dog-head token in Ye Junlin's hand and the ancient rumor he thought of, he was more inclined to lean towards the voice in his heart and decided to take a gamble.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

The young man was very courageous. He couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes full of determination.

He trusts his own judgment.

Seeing this, Ye Junlin smiled and said admiringly: "Young man, you made the best choice in your life."

"By the way, I still don't know what your names are?"

"My name is Gou Ziqing and my sister is Gou Qianyi."

Gou Ziqing speaks truthfully.

Just as Ye Junlin said, one day, several years later, when the elderly Gou Ziqing talked about this with his children, he would feel extremely fortunate and proud...
