Chapter 4384: Maiden Tusu, Zhu Que Token

Jun Xiaoyao's words caused Tu Ming and the others to be stunned once again.

Generally speaking, their tribe did not allow outsiders to enter.

This was because the Totem Saint Clan's cultivation methods were different from those of outsiders.

Therefore, they were considered a rather xenophobic tribe.

Although they did have some guest elders and the like.

Those guest elders were all existences with high seniority and immense strength.

Of course, Tu Ming and the others had already witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's strength with their own eyes.

Furthermore, he had also saved the lives of Tu Ming and his companions.

"Senior, you jest. Since you saved our lives, you are naturally welcome to come with us," Tu Ming said.

In his perception.

He could not detect a single shred of cultivation realm aura from Jun Xiaoyao.

Yet, just a moment ago, he had indeed slain the Death Dragon-Beaked Bird with a single sword strike.

This meant that Jun Xiaoyao's true strength far exceeded the imagination of Tu Ming and the others.

Facing such an existence, Tu Ming naturally dared not offend or neglect him.

"Senior, please follow us."

Tu Ming took the lead.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, a trace of an inexplicable expression appearing in his eyes.

The reason he wanted to go to the Totem Saint Clan.

Curiosity was naturally one aspect.

But on the other hand, there was another reason.

It was that the Fate Bell he controlled had emitted a sound.

Jun Xiaoyao felt that in this Totem Saint Clan, he might be able to discover some small surprises.

Following this, Tu Ming and the others brought Jun Xiaoyao and began their return to the Zhu Que Tribe.

……

Although the Totem Saint Clan no longer possessed its former foundation and strength.

It was still an overlord existence in the Wild Heavenly River.

Its subordinates were divided into five major tribes.

They were the Heavenly Tiger Tribe, the Wild Dragon Tribe, the Soaring Snake Tribe, the Zhu Que Tribe, and the Azure Ape Tribe.

They corresponded exactly to the five elemental attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

These five major tribes had varying levels of foundation and strength.

And the Zhu Que Tribe was originally one of the most prosperous among the five.

But now, it was instead the bottom-ranked existence among the five tribes.

At this moment, within a vast mountain range.

The entire mountain range was extremely vast, majestic, and stretched to the distant horizon.

The mountains were not of the usual dark green color.

Instead, they presented a crimson red, much like a Flaming Mountain.

The mountains were covered with dense fire-attribute vegetation.

Looking out, the forests were dyed, and the mountains were filled with red.

One could see many exotic beasts leaping in the mountain streams and divine birds spreading their wings across the sky.

Between the mountain ridges, there were many Zhu Que Tribe members cultivating, breathing, and exhaling.

And in the deepest part of this vast mountain range lay a large basin.

Many stone structures exuding an ancient and primitive aura stood within it.

This was the residence of some powerful tribesmen of the Zhu Que Tribe, or tribal elders with high seniority and prestige.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, dense enough to be visible to the naked eye, also gathered in this basin.

At this moment, in the depths of the basin, inside an ancient hall wreathed in crimson mist and spiritual energy.

A delicate and pretty figure sat cross-legged within the spirit-gathering array inside the hall, cultivating.

This was a girl in red, appearing to be only sixteen years of age, though her true age was clearly more than that.

Her face was bright and peerless, her features exquisite and beautiful, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a straight, elegant nose.

Her skin was not the dark black typical of the Totem Saint Clan, but rather a healthy wheat color.

A head of pitch-black hair was tied up with a red cord, with the ends dyed red.

This was not deliberate dyeing, but a manifestation of the Zhu Que Tribe's direct bloodline power.

At the same time, those bright eyes were also faintly tinged with a magnificent ruby-like luster.

The more direct the bloodline of the Zhu Que Tribe, the more distinct those bloodline characteristics became.

And the people of the Totem Saint Clan, regardless of gender, all had very good figures.

The girl's body curves were also delicate and exquisite.

Especially her legs, which appeared exceptionally slender, yet not overly thin, with even muscle and bone.

This made the girl resemble a small female leopard, carrying a wild sense of beauty.

It was worth noting that the girl was not wearing shoes or socks on her feet.

Or rather, the people of the Totem Saint Clan did not have the habit of wearing shoes or socks.

On the girl's bare ankles.

A red string was tied, with a small golden bell attached to it.

At this moment, the girl sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit-gathering array with her eyes closed.

Her exquisite little face carried a hint of hidden determination.

However, with a tremor of her delicate body.

The girl's complexion suddenly turned pale.

She opened her bright and magnificent red eyes.

She bit her peach-colored lips slightly.

"Still unable to condense the bloodline power..."

The girl clenched her small hands tightly.

Her name was Tusu.

Once, as the daughter of the Zhu Que Tribe's chief, she was absolutely a proud daughter of heaven.

However, later, too many things happened.

Those things were not something an ordinary person could endure.

But Tusu had borne it all alone.

But now, if she made no progress in her cultivation.

She would have no qualifications to obtain a stronger beast totem.

For the people of the Totem Saint Clan.

Without the blessing of totem power, it was equivalent to having one's hands broken.

Combat power simply could not be raised.

Moreover, within the Totem Saint Clan, the struggle between the five major tribes was itself a cruel world of survival of the fittest.

In such a world.

One could imagine the situation of a girl whose cultivation could not be raised.

Previously, because Tusu was the daughter of the tribal chief, she had status and position, and her natural talent was also not weak.

But now, the situation was completely different.

It could be said that if it weren't for a few tribal elders of her lineage looking after her.

Tusu's situation would be even more difficult.

"I cannot give up, I still have to find my father..."

Tusu murmured with her lips.

Her small hand took out something.

It was a vermilion token, featuring a relief carving of a Zhu Que totem, suffused with red light and emitting faint ripples.

This object was the Zhu Que Token, the symbol of the Zhu Que Tribe chief's power.

And just at this moment.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Seeing this, Tusu hurriedly put away the Zhu Que Token.

Her gaze looked coldly toward the entrance.

"Tusu, still cultivating so diligently here."

"But then again, in a few days, it will be the day of the Awakening Assembly."

"If your strength is insufficient, you won't be able to obtain the recognition of the Zhu Que Totem."

As these indifferent and flippant words came through.

A group of people walked into the hall.

The one who spoke was the man in the lead.

His appearance was quite young, tall and sturdy, wearing a leather robe that only those with noble status in the Zhu Que Tribe could wear.

One could see that on the surface of his skin, there were some extremely profound beast totems.

Faintly emitting a kind of majestic power and baleful aura.

He stood out from the crowd among the group.

The man's hair was also mixed with red, proving that he was also of the direct lineage of the Zhu Que Tribe.

"Tu Tian, what are you here for?"

Tusu's eyes looked at this man named Tu Tian.

The Zhu Que Tribe's direct lineage was also divided into several branches.

Originally, Tusu's lineage was the strongest, and her father had once been the Zhu Que Tribe chief.

At that time, the Zhu Que Tribe was one of the best among the five tribes of the Totem Saint Clan.

But because of some later changes.

Now, the one in power in the Zhu Que Tribe was the lineage of Tu Tian.

And Tu Tian was also the one with the strongest strength among the young generation of the Zhu Que Tribe today.

If there were no accidents, he would also become the future chief of the Zhu Que Tribe. ===== CHAPTER 4385 =====
