Chapter 1375 The three tribes gather together

As for the third one, he was an old man transformed from the Black Tortoise. He was tall and strong, with a kind face, and he carried the calmness and solemnity that had come with the passage of time.

Wearing a black square hat and a dark brown robe, although he looks ordinary, it cannot conceal the powerful vitality contained in his body.

His skin had a bronze color, as if it had experienced countless sun and rain.

The three strong men were sitting in a corner of the tavern at this moment, drinking fine wine, looking relaxed and contented.

Qinglong would whisper a few words to Baihu from time to time, with a glimmer of reminiscence occasionally flashing in his eyes, as if he was recalling what they had experienced together in the past.

Xuanwu listened to their conversation quietly, occasionally nodding in agreement or smiling in response. The whole scene was filled with a harmonious and mysterious atmosphere.

When Lu Chen and Yuan Feng walked into the tavern, four pairs of eyes looked over at them at the same time.

The tavern owner just took a look and quickly looked away to continue with the business at hand.

However, the young man and the woman in white frowned slightly after seeing the two men. It has been said since ancient times that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Yuan Feng, as the ancestor of the Phoenix clan, actually got together with a human cultivator. This was an incredible thing.

Instead, the old man just slowly raised his head, looked at Lu Chen deeply, and then ignored him.

"Yuan Feng, today is the day when our five tribes gather together. Isn't it against the rules for you to bring a human cultivator with you?" The man in green was the first to question the two men as he saw them approaching.

"Five clans? Could it be referring to Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise? What about Vermillion Bird?" Upon hearing this, Lu Chen thought to himself, and then glanced at the tavern owner who had been busy behind the counter.

Now Lu Chen finally understood everything, but what surprised him was that Suzaku would actually open a tavern on the human territory.

"Yuan Feng" ignored the blue-robed cultivator and introduced him with a smile: "This is Lu Chen, who once did me a favor and is now my good friend."

"My name is Lu Chen, and I'm honored to meet you all, fellow Taoists." Lu Chen bowed and saluted.

"Since you are Yuan Feng's friend, please take a seat. I am Bi Changqing, the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan. This is Bai Jie, the patriarch of the White Tiger clan, and Qing Feng, the patriarch of the Azure Dragon clan. That is Zhu Yu, the patriarch of the Suzaku clan, and the owner of this tavern." Bi Changqing of the Xuanwu clan introduced them one by one with a smile.

Bai Jie of the White Tiger Clan nodded slightly, "Daoyou has good luck. To be recognized by Yuanfeng, you must have had some extraordinary experiences."

Qing Feng of the Qinglong clan snorted coldly, obviously full of hostility towards Lu Chen's arrival.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't pay attention to Qing Feng's gaze, and then saluted and said:

"My name is Lu Chen, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."

Having said that, he sat down directly and sent a telepathic message to Yuan Feng, "What's wrong with this Qing Feng? Why does he seem to have a deep hatred for me?"

After Yuan Feng sat down, he replied through telepathy: "Don't worry about him. He thinks highly of himself. He will be like this no matter who I'm with, as long as they're men."

"Oh, so I'm your bootlicker. Then I've become your shield for no reason. If he attacks me because of this, you have to compensate me." Lu Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and immediately replied with a sullen telepathic voice:

"But then again, it's said that a dragon and a phoenix make a perfect match. I think you two are quite a good match. Why do you look down on her?"

"What do you care?" Yuan Feng rolled her eyes at Lu Chen.

Seeing Lu Chen and Yuan Feng exchanging glances, Qing Feng's expression instantly turned grim. He then said in a cold voice, "Today we are discussing a major matter concerning all races. This human cultivator being here would probably be inconvenient. How about kicking him out?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in confusion, thinking that Qingfeng was too disrespectful to Yuanfeng.

Bai Jie from the White Tiger Clan sat aside, looking like she was enjoying the show, with a playful glint in her eyes.

Seeing this, Bi Changchun tried to ease the tense atmosphere, "We are all people of status, why should we ruin the relationship over such a small matter?" However, his persuasion did not seem to have any effect.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng sneered, "I hired this person. If you don't like him, you can just do it yourself. Why bother asking for our opinions? Isn't that just making everyone hate you?"

At the same time, she secretly used her spiritual sense to convey a message to Lu Chen, indicating that he could teach Qing Feng a lesson.

Lu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't want to be used as a pawn, so he sent a telepathic message: "Senior, I have a bad temper. I'll either not make a move or not. If I do, do you think I have the ability to kill him?"

At this moment, Zhu Yu, holding a wine jug, came over with a smile on his face to smooth things over. "Everyone, today's gathering is a matter of fate. Why should we let such trivial matters ruin our relationship? Come on... how about everyone try this wine?"

His voice was gentle yet powerful, trying to divert everyone's attention away from the conflict.

Yuan Feng was shocked when she heard Lu Chen's telepathic voice. She did not doubt Lu Chen's strength. Although she did not like Qing Feng, she could not bear to see Qing Feng being killed by Lu Chen. So, she hurriedly said:

"Qing Feng, Lu Chen is my honored guest. If you insist on expelling him, I'm afraid you'll have to get past me first."

Although her voice was soft, it was full of majesty and no one dared to underestimate it.

Qingfeng didn't expect Yuanfeng to suddenly change his attitude and stand so firmly on Lu Chen's side. He was caught off guard for a moment.

He wanted to retort, but was worried about offending Yuan Feng. At this moment, Bi Changchun tried to mediate again, "Since no one is willing to have a good talk, why don't we suspend the discussion for a while and calm down. It won't be too late to continue after the emotions have calmed down. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Bi Changqing stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, Zhu Yu hurriedly persuaded him:

"Brother Bi, please calm down. It's already very rare for our five clans to get together. Moreover, a major event is imminent. Why should you let such a small matter affect the overall situation?"

After saying that, Bi Changqing looked at Qingfeng again and said, "Qingfeng, Ao Tian of the Dragon Clan is missing. If you offend the Xuanwu Clan, you may not be able to become the leader of the Dragon Clan, so I advise you to calm down."

Qing Feng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He immediately realized that he had been too impulsive, so he said, "Brother Bi, please forgive me. Please sit down first before we talk."

"Yes, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today, why don't we have a drink to relax first before talking about business." Zhu Yu poured the wine with a wave of his hand, then raised his glass and signaled everyone to raise their glasses.

Seeing Zhu Yu come forward to smooth things over, the atmosphere eased a little.

Bi Changqing, Qing Feng, Bai Jie, Yuan Feng and Lu Chen looked at each other, and seemed to realize that there was no benefit in continuing to argue.

So, they all picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them all in one gulp...
