Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

Tantai Jin looked at Li En, who seemed completely unfazed, and his mind raced.

He didn't believe Rean possessed any priceless treasure, but he dared not gamble. If there truly was a priceless treasure, and he prevented Rean from seeing the Elder, then even if he were the Elder's own brother, he would only face certain death once the Elder found out.

After all, the steward and many clansmen had seen Rean when he entered the mountain gate, and no matter how powerful Tantai Jin was, he couldn't shut the steward up.

If it were just a trivial matter like offering tribute to the Xuan Nu clan, the head steward might have turned a blind eye, but he absolutely could not hide this matter from them anymore.

So after thinking it over, Tantai Jin decided to send someone to inform the elder that if the Grand Elder would really come out of seclusion for the sake of a Xuan Nu clansman, that would be fine. But if the Grand Elder was too lazy to care, then he would have to teach this arrogant Xuan Nu clan brat a lesson.

Soon, the elder who had gone to inform the Grand Elder of his seclusion returned to the main hall and told Tantai Jin that the Grand Elder would personally come out of seclusion to meet this member of the Xuan Nu clan.

Tantai Jin felt a slight tremor in his heart. He was somewhat worried that the Grand Elder would find out about the fact that they had made the Xuan Nu Clan offer tribute to their clansmen over the years. After all, it was impossible for Li En not to tell the Grand Elder after meeting him.

He even felt that there were no priceless treasures at all. This was precisely the idea that Rean came up with in order to stop paying tribute to the clan and take this opportunity to meet the Grand Elder and ask for his help.

Tantai Jin sneered inwardly. He knew the Grand Elder's temper best. Although it was wrong of them to make the Xuan Nu Clan offer tribute to their clansmen, it was not a big deal. However, if the Grand Elder found out that he had been deceived by Li En, the consequences would be severe.

At that time, let alone the Grand Elder standing up for the Xuan Nu Clan, even if she doesn't directly destroy the Xuan Nu Clan, she is very likely to drive them out.

"This brat actually dares to have such ideas? He's asking for death!" Tantai Jin was furious when he saw Li En's aloof and arrogant demeanor. He was just a lowly slave, yet he really thought he was someone important.

At this moment, Rean, led by the messenger elder, arrived at the palace where the Grand Elder was in seclusion.

It was a celestial palace in the clouds. The entire palace was shaped like a disc, with a building resembling an ancient bell protruding from the disc. Rean followed the elder directly to the passage at the bottom of the disc, and then the elder turned and left, leaving him to enter alone.

Upon entering, Rean found himself spinning around and found himself in a snowy wonderland. He looked around in surprise, realizing that this place was a hidden world, clearly a kind of technique similar to the World Ring.

At this moment, amidst the icy and snowy landscape, there stands a tower as white as jade, with nine layers. Within the ninth layer, a woman dressed in white appears to be sitting cross-legged.

The woman had a graceful figure and a cool demeanor, but her face was not clearly visible, giving her a mysterious, noble, and aloof air.

"Xuan Nu clan member, what is your name?" A clear, magnetic voice rang out, immediately revealing a cool and aloof older woman.

Rean knew that the other party was a cosmic venerable, but he did not feel much awe. He was not a native of this desolate ancient continent. He had even met the cosmic lord, although only in a virtual universe.

But in reality, he had also seen cosmic overlords like the Ice Moon Palace Master, so naturally he wouldn't be too wary of a mere cosmic venerable.

In terms of overall strength, Rean might not be a match for a Cosmic Venerable right now, but he has already comprehended the instantaneous sealing technique of the fundamental laws of space, and has once experienced the power of a high-level Cosmic Venerable. He is confident that he can escape from a Cosmic Venerable, so he is not afraid of Tantai Mingyue. "Reporting to the Grand Elder, I am Rean." Rean still maintained a respectful but not servile demeanor.

"Rean." The voice came from afar and appeared in front of Rean in an instant. He looked up and saw that Tantai Mingyue had indeed left the tower and was standing not far in front of him.

Tantai Mingyue looked at Li En, who was also dressed in white, and a hint of interest appeared on her beautiful face. This Xuan Nu clansman was indeed very good-looking and had an excellent temperament.

"I heard you have a priceless treasure to offer me?" Tantai Mingyue walked towards Li En step by step, her aura growing stronger and stronger, pressing down on Li En.

“Yes, Elder.” Li En lowered his head slightly, seemingly not daring to meet Tantai Mingyue’s gaze. He said in a low voice, “Our Xuan Nu clan has always passed down the story of a treasure from our ancestors. It is said that only a god can open that treasure. I accidentally learned of the treasure’s whereabouts, so I have come to present it to the Elder.”

"The treasure of the Xuan Nu clan?" Tantai Mingyue was slightly taken aback. "Is it the treasure left behind by the Fairy of Gu She?"

It was obvious that Tantai Mingyue was unaware of this matter, but she was certain that Li En was not lying, and she did not believe that Li En would dare to lie to her.

"Do you know the whereabouts of that treasure?" Tantai Mingyue had already walked to within two meters of Li En. Her height was an astonishing 1.9 meters, almost the same as Li En's.

Her long legs revealed a rounded silhouette beneath the white gauze skirt, and her high, prominent breasts made Rean's mouth water.

"The treasure is located deep within the Eastern Wilderness Swamp, on Mount Buzhou. That's all I know," Rean replied.

"You dare to lie to me?!" Tantai Mingyue suddenly shouted coldly, her voice like a booming bell, which suddenly exploded in Li En's mind. Boundless coldness enveloped him, as if it would completely devour him.

Rean sensed a peculiar illusion attack that seemed to be trying to affect his mind, but he snapped back to reality in an instant. This level of illusion attack posed no threat to him whatsoever.

“I wouldn’t dare to deceive the Grand Elder. According to the information left by our ancestors, the treasure is indeed on Mount Buzhou,” Rean said sincerely. The information he knew was indeed true, and every word he said was true.

"I doubt you have the guts to lie to me." Seeing that Li En was completely unaffected by the illusion, Tantai Mingyue believed Li En's words. She stretched out her fair and soft hand and gently lifted Li En's lowered head.

"You've told me such important news, what do you want?" Tantai Mingyue looked at Li En's flawless handsome face, her voice softening.

Rean's heart skipped a beat. With his looks and temperament, he was definitely a top-tier succubus. Even a universe venerable like Tantai Mingyue, an ice queen, couldn't resist him.

Originally, he only wanted to take this opportunity to exchange for a short period of peace for the Xuan Nu clan, so that he would have time to slowly transfer the Xuan Nu clan to his inner world. Of course, he could not transfer them directly. You should know that there is a great formation protecting the area near Gu She Mountain. If he dared to make any rash moves, the result would be predictable.

At this moment, Rean suddenly changed his mind. He looked at Tantai Mingyue with a slightly infatuated expression, his eyes burning with desire, and said:
"I have no other request than to be able to become a disciple of the Grand Elder and receive his teachings at any time." (End of Chapter)
