Chapter 1601 1,604. The Xue Clan Was In Exile

The Sea of constellations was boundless. The Xue Clan had disappeared overnight. Finding them was easier said than done?

The Li clan had mobilized their entire clan’s forces to search the four seas for seven days and seven nights, but to no avail.

Helpless, they had to expend thirty percent of their treasure trove’s money and mobilize all the living beings on twin stars island to search for traces of the Xue Clan.

Only then did they finally have a lead on the Xue clan.

Several living beings saw with their own eyes that the Xue family was heading towards the southeast sea.

The southeast was the direction of Murong Island!

Li Qiankun suddenly came to a realization. “I should have known that they would defect to the Murong Family.”

Not only were Murong Feng and Xue Yuntian old friends who had known each other for many years, but they had also recently signed a marriage contract and became allies.

The Xue family had nowhere to go, so it was reasonable for them to temporarily defect to the Murong family.

“Leave ten elders to look after the family. The rest of you, follow me to Murong Island!”Li Qiankun said.

He looked at Hong Lei, who had a reluctant look on his face. The bigger this matter became, the more embarrassed he would be.

But with the star pavilion master, Mu Canghai, he dared to say no?

In the Xue family’s mansion, Su Yu watched them leave and said, “Pavilion master, thank you for upholding justice for the Xue family. If there’s anything you need from me, feel free to ask.”

Mu Canghai had lowered his status to come here because he had been waiting for this sentence.

She smiled amiably and said, “Master Xue is serious. I only have the ability to cherish you. I would like to invite you to join our Star Pavilion and become an appraiser.”

Su Yu resisted slightly in his heart. He did not want to be too distracted and say anything else. However, the Star Pavilion had done him a favor, and he would definitely repay it.

“Sure. It’s just that I hope that after joining the Star Pavilion, I will have the time to cultivate on my own,”Su Yu said.

Unexpectedly, Mu Canghai was extremely easy to talk to. He said, “Hehe, don’t worry, Master Xue. If you don’t have time to work in the Star Pavilion, you can take on an empty position. If the Star Pavilion needs you one day, it’s not too late to ask for your help.”

Su Yu’s heart relaxed, and he revealed a happy expression. “Thank you, pavilion master, for your understanding!”

Actually, he was a little puzzled.

It was understandable that the star pavilion would treat him with pity. However, to allow him to take up an empty position so easily after so much effort, wasn’t this a little contradictory.

“Hehe, before the Xue family is found, you should follow me back to the Star Pavilion and go through the formalities. As long as you become an official appraiser of the Star Pavilion, even if you are only an empty position, you will be able to enjoy the same treatment as other appraisers,”mu Canghai said.

Su Yu nodded. “I will listen to Senior’s arrangements.”

Three months later.

In the waters of Murong Island, the Li family had been traveling day and night. Finally, they had arrived in the vicinity.

“Yue'er, go and check out the situation on the island. is the Xue family still there? There are so many of us. If we were to recklessly board the island, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings among the Murong family and a war will break out,”Li Qiankun said.

Li Yue nodded her chin and went onto the island alone.

Murong Mansion.

In a remote courtyard, there lived a group of people who were not members of the Murong family. There were seven to eight thousand of them, old, weak, sick, and disabled.

They looked exhausted, as if they had gone through a long journey.

There was no light in their eyes. They seemed to have lost hope for the future.

“Sigh, I really didn’t expect that our Xue family would one day live under someone else’s roof,”an injured senior said bitterly as he leaned on the bluestone in the courtyard.

The other senior Elder’s eyes were dim as he forced himself to get up and said, “We’re only temporarily protecting Murong Island to replenish our sea-going resources. After we’ve replenished them, we’ll leave. We won’t take a single cent from the Murong Family!”

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a complicated expression sighed in a corner.

His expression was filled with complexity and guilt.

Shua --

A figure descended. It was the Green Leaf Elder. He came before the middle-aged man and handed him a spatial storage ring. He said, “Clan leader, I’ve only replenished half of the seafaring resources.”

Xue Yuntian took it and was silent for a moment before saying, “The Murong family didn’t say anything bad to you, did they?”

The green leaf elder forced a smile, but it was a smile that didn’t mean what he said. “How could they? No matter what, they’re still a force of the alliance. They didn’t say anything bad.”

Indeed, they didn’t say anything bad, but the way the entire Murong family looked at them was like they were looking at a down and out dog.

The hurt in their eyes was far deeper than the hurt in their words.

Xue Yuntian said, “Let’s make it half. It’s enough for us to sail for three months to reach the dark mysterious island at the edge of the wilderness. We will think of a way to replenish our resources there.”

Senior Qing ye smiled bitterly. Maritime resources were precious resources to any island.

Usually, they were stored as strategic resources and would not be sold to outsiders easily.

With their relationship with the Murong family, they could only obtain three months worth of sea resources. Would the mysterious Underworld Island really give them?

It was likely that they would have to resort to forceful methods at that time. It would inevitably lead to a big battle.

Senior Qing ye hesitated for a long time and said, “Clan leader, have you really considered this matter?”

Xue Yuntian raised his head and looked at the pale and lonely clouds, revealing a helpless expression, he laughed self-deprecatingly, “Do we still have a choice? “It is extremely dangerous to head to the desolate land to open up a new territory. Whether we can succeed or not is uncertain. Bringing those old and weak will only harm them for nothing. It is better to leave them in the Murong Clan.”

“If we are unfortunate and all die in the desolate land, then there is still a portion of the Xue clan’s flame seed left in the world.”

“If our foundation is stable, then it wouldn’t be too late to come back and pick them up.”

The green leaf elder said, “This is indeed the best way to achieve the best of both worlds. However, can the Murong family agree?”

Xue Yuntian stood up and dusted off the accumulated dust on his shoulders. He said, “As long as they can tempt the Murong family, there is no reason for them not to agree.”

He slowly walked away as if he was facing an execution ground. He was absolutely miserable.

He wanted to negotiate with the Murong family.

Tears rolled down the Green Leaf Elder’s face. He knew that with this trip, Xue Yuntian’s last shred of dignity would be trampled clean.

The magnificent living room was crowded with people, and the core members of the Murong family were full of liveliness and excitement.

Only Xue Yuntian sat alone at the side, enduring many pitying, sneering, pitying, and contemptuous gazes. He listened to all kinds of discussions.

“The clan leader has arrived!”A light shout came from outside.

Murong Feng led the ten great elders of the clan and walked over one after another.

Xue Yuntian stood up and took a few steps forward, bowing and bowing, as if he was one level lower than the others.

Murong Feng’s gaze was complicated. After so many years of friendship, he had never thought that Xue Yuntian would one day fall into such a state. He could not bear to help him up and said, “Brother Xue, please take a seat.”

After the guest of Honor took his seat, Murong Feng said, “Brother Xue has invited us to discuss something important. May I know what it is?”

He stood up and cupped his fists. Xue Yuntian said, “The Xue family has been here for three days. We have disturbed you all. We are here today to ask for your resignation.”

Hearing this, the elders were still able to remain calm.

The rest of the clansmen were more or less relieved.

“You scared me to death. I thought the Xue family would stay with the Murong family and not leave.”

“Fortunately, they have some self-awareness. If they don’t leave now, our Murong family will become a joke!”

“That’s true. I really don’t know what we were thinking in the past. Why would we form an alliance with such an unlucky force? Even our Murong family is looked down upon by others!”

“It’s good that they left. If they don’t leave now, I won’t be able to bear it. I might have to chase them away myself!”

“Hehe, you’re not the only one who can’t stand it. A few elders couldn’t hold it in and secretly said that if the clan leader dared to take them in, the elders would join hands to refute and expel them!”

..

The hall was in an uproar. They discussed without any reservations, as if no one from the Xue family was present.

“Quiet!”Murong Feng frowned and shouted.

When the hall was quiet, Murong Feng threw an apologetic look at Xue Yuntian and said, “I didn’t teach you well. Brother Xue, don’t Mind Me!”

“It doesn’t matter.”Xue Yuntian’s face was expressionless, but everyone could feel his sadness at this moment.

Murong Feng said, “Brother Xue, why are you in a hurry to leave? Our two clans are in an alliance. One will prosper while the other will suffer. Why don’t we stay on Murong Island and develop Murong Island together? What do you think?”

He really couldn’t bear it. His good friend of many years had led his clansmen to destruction.

How could the territory of the Savage Land be developed so easily?

If it was so easy, why were so many forces stationed in the Jian Xuan Sea Area?

It was because the savage land was too dangerous. Even the Jian Xuan didn’t dare to explore it so easily.

The Xue family wouldn’t be able to return this time.

Xue Yuntian’s eyes were filled with gratitude. A friend in need was a friend indeed.

But he still chose to refuse. “Thank you for your kindness, brother Murong. We don’t have the face to bother you anymore. I appreciate your kindness.”

As the head of the family, he knew very well that the head of the family was concerned about the entire family and not his personal feelings.

The tensed faces of the ten elders relaxed slightly. They secretly thought that Xue Yuntian knew his place.

Murong Feng sighed and said, “Brother Xue, have you really thought it through? The Savage Land is not like the Jian Xuan Sea area. There are countless star Beast Kings. It’s extremely dangerous!”

“Therefore, I have a presumptuous request.”Xue Yuntian said, “I will lead the experts of the family to expand their territory. If the old, weak, and disabled people of the family go with me, they will die in vain. I hope that brother Murong can take them in.”

Hearing this, the whole place was in an uproar.

“What? Is he crazy? Our Murong clan doesn’t owe them anything, so why should we take care of the old, weak, and disabled people for them!”

“Humph, Humph, Humph, Humph, it’s ridiculous! I thought Xue Yuntian knew his own limits, but I didn’t expect him to reveal his childish side right away!”

“I absolutely don’t agree. Why should we take care of them! If you want to get lost, get lost!”

..

“Silence!”Murong Feng shouted softly, suppressing the discussion.

He looked at Xue Yuntian and asked, “Brother Xue, how many people do you want to leave behind?”

If there weren’t many people, he would stay even if it was against the public opinion.

Xue Yuntian said, “I will only take the strongest one hundred people from the family. The remaining seven thousand family members will all get rid of the Murong family.”

“This...”even Murong Feng was troubled. In fact, with the wealth of the Murong clan, they could afford to support more than seven thousand people even if they gritted their teeth, but the clan would never agree!

Seeing that the whole place was about to explode again, Xue Yuntian said, “Naturally, I won’t let the Murong clan take care of them for no reason.”

After saying that, he took out one hundred mysterious alien divine arts books and said, “These are one hundred translated alien divine arts books. I believe everyone in the Murong clan should know their value.”

Alien Divine Arts? There were many alien divine arts circulating in Murong Island. However, just like the Twin Stars Island, there was a lack of translation talent, so they could only stare at it without touching it.
