"No need to return to Stone Village, it’s closer to our Elf Clan from here, we can get the herbs from there."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! I’m the second young master of the Elf Clan! Although I don’t manage the elves, my status is undeniable! My brother always indulges me; whatever I ask for, I get! You can rest assured and just follow me!"
Seeing his confident look, Gu Sheng thought for a moment and still nodded.
After all, Stone Village is farther away; going back and forth would waste a lot of time. Now, with all the major sects heading to the Demon Clan, if left unchecked, many innocent lives will be lost. They really need to hurry.
"Alright, let’s go to the Elf Clan then."
The two of them turned around to rejoin the main group.
Upon seeing everyone, Lan Yao directly explained the situation.
Upon learning it was the Demon Clan causing trouble, everyone was furious.
After hearing about the elixirs, Shi Lou suspiciously asked Lan Yao, "Are you sure we can get elixirs if we go with you to the Elf Clan?"
"You can be assured, I guarantee it!"
With that, Lan Yao took the lead and led everyone toward the Elf Clan.
Along the way, they noticed many sects hurrying on their journey.
In the past, if sects encountered one another on the road, they would secretly size each other up, sometimes even test one another. But now, everyone was in a rush, each eager to get on their own way, paying no attention to others at all.
Seeing the direction they were headed, Gu Sheng more or less understood and couldn’t help but sigh.
Hearing him sigh, Huang Shan stepped forward to ask, "Brother Sheng, what’s wrong?"
"Seeing so many sects heading to the Demon Sect, it suddenly makes me feel a bit uneasy."
The members of several families have fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect; the sects heading there are likely going on a one-way trip. The thought of so many innocent lives perishing makes Gu Sheng feel uneasy.
Huang Shan understood his meaning, but still offered some counsel: "Brother Sheng, don’t overthink it. They’re rushing there because they have their own motives. Who would risk their life to defend others for no reason?"
Gu Sheng knew that what Huang Shan said made sense.
The reason these people were rushing there was, first, to find a way to break the Demon Sect’s elixirs and thus gain fame in the Jianghu; second, to forge good relations with the major families and sects, thereby enhancing their own reputation and strength. The temptation was great, which is why they were willing to take the risk.
"Gu Sheng, forget about them, let’s hurry up and go!"
Lan Yao called out, and Gu Sheng came to his senses and quickly followed.
In just a day and a half’s journey on foot, they reached the entrance of the Elf Clan.
Seeing the spiritual energy permeating everywhere, as beautiful as the Immortal Realm, they were dumbstruck.
Seeing them like this, Lan Yao raised his head proudly.
"How about it? Isn’t our Elf Clan beautiful?"
Hearing this, Er Gou nodded with his mouth agape.
"Beautiful, not only is the Elf Clan beautiful, but the elves flying in the sky are even more beautiful."
Following his gaze, Lan Yao smacked him on the back of the head.
"Quickly rein in your shameless gaze, or be wary of my fist."
Hearing this, Er Gou quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Lan Yao, aren’t you being a bit stingy? I was just looking, I wasn’t doing anything."
"What else do you want to do? Such audacity! Our elves are sacred and inviolable, it’s lucky you even get to look, quickly wipe away your drool, or my brother might think I brought back an idiot."
Er Gou was speechless and quickly raised his sleeve to wipe.
Gu Sheng also advised, "Although we are here with Lan Yao, being newcomers we must be polite and not offend the elves."
Hearing this, Er Gou nodded repeatedly.
"Brother Sheng, don’t worry, I know what to do, I won’t offend anyone."
Lan Yao was satisfied with what he heard, and then led everyone into the Elf Clan.
As soon as he entered, many elves immediately came forward and greeted him with great respect.
Lan Yao exuded an air of authority and raised his hand slightly towards them.
"Where’s my brother? Where is he?"
"The clan leader is in the back garden."
"Go inform him, I’m heading there now."
