Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's persistence, Chief Langyun nodded slightly to show his understanding and did not continue to press the issue.

He knew that as a monk, everyone had his own secrets and difficulties, and asking too many questions would be impolite.

Chief Langyun said a few more polite words, but his next words became extremely restrained, and he no longer had any intention of inquiring into Zhou Yiqiao's origins.

As the night deepened, the banquet gradually came to an end, and Chief Langyun arranged for Langye to take Zhou Yiqiao to a stone residence.

This stone residence is located in the central area of ​​the Sky Demon Clan's territory. The surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful, and it is built entirely of huge stones.

The stone walls are covered with green ivy, simple and elegant. The interior of the residence is spacious and bright, and the layout is very exquisite. Every piece of furniture is made of fine wood and carved with various demon totems.

It can be seen that this stone house should be one of the best residences in the Tianyao tribe.

After Lang Ye settled Zhou Yiqiao down, he respectfully took his leave.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this will be your residence from now on. If you need anything, you can always tell the tribesmen outside."

Zhou Yiqiao expressed his gratitude to Lang Ye, and after watching him leave, he finally had the opportunity to regulate his breathing and practice, recovering the spiritual energy consumed in the previous battle.

Fortunately, when he followed Lang Ye to the Tianyao tribe's territory, he had secretly used the Lingquan Stone Milk and the Yuqing Lingyan to recover most of the losses. Otherwise, after such a long delay, he would probably have a lot of troubles left in his body.

As time passed, Zhou Yiqiao's life in the Tianyao tribe gradually got back on track.

In addition to practicing every day, he would also exchange practice experiences with the younger generation of the Sky Demon Clan, and even guide them on some difficult problems they encountered in practice.

The demon clan respects the strong the most. The strength that Zhou Yiqiao has displayed in these days has completely convinced the younger generation of the demon clan.

Nowadays, people's name for him has changed from the human cultivator in the beginning to Brother Zhou.

As Zhou Yiqiao's position in the Tianyao tribe became increasingly solid, he gradually came to understand the complex situation in Zoroastrianism.

There are many demon tribes in Zoroastrianism, and the most powerful among them are the royal families with the Demon King in charge.

These royal families not only possess enormous power, but also control many secrets and resources of Zoroastrianism.

On this day, the Tian Yao clan received an invitation letter from the Yanlin royal family.

The Flame Scale Royal Family is the closest demon royal family to the Sky Demon Family. The Flame Scale Great Demon Emperor in the family is a well-known strong man in Zoroastrianism, and their clan’s base, Flame Scale City, is one of the representatives of the demon civilization in Zoroastrianism.

The invitation stated that the princess of the Flame Scale royal family was about to hold a ceremony to select a son-in-law, and hoped that all nearby demon tribes would select the strongest young man in their tribe to go to Flame Scale City to participate.

This is a stage for the younger generations of all ethnic groups to demonstrate their strength, as well as an excellent opportunity to make allies and expand influence.

As the young patriarch of the Sky Demon Clan, Lang Ye is naturally the best candidate to represent the Sky Demon Clan.

However, before leaving, Lang Ye specially came to Zhou Yiqiao's residence and invited him to go with him.

Lang Ye stood outside Zhou Yiqiao's stone house with an expectant and serious look on his face. He cleared his throat and spoke.

"Brother Zhou, I know this may be a little abrupt, but I would like to invite you to be my staff and go to Flame Scale City together."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this request, he was stunned and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that although he had established friendly relations with the Heavenly Demon Clan, the conflicts between humans and demons were deep-rooted throughout Zoroastrianism. As a human, his appearance in important occasions of the demon clan would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's hesitation, Lang Ye explained further.

"Brother Zhou, I understand your concerns."

"Indeed, there have been many conflicts between humans and demons in history, but there are also many human monks in the vast land of Zoroastrianism."

"Especially within the sphere of influence of some demon cultivation royal families, they often act as city builders or counselors, contributing to the development of the demon race."

Lang Ye paused and continued.

"Of course, I don't want Brother Zhou to be my aide, but I hope that Brother Zhou can consider our friendship and go to Yanlin City with me this time to help me make plans and win the favor of the princess."

"Besides, Yanlin City gathers intelligence about almost all the forces in the land of Wuzhou. Although I don't know the purpose of Brother Zhou's coming to Wuzhou, as long as Brother Zhou is willing to go with me, I may be able to find clues or resources that are useful to Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yiqiao was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Going to Yanlin City is indeed much more feasible than staying in the Tianyao tribe's territory and daydreaming about plans all day long.

Moreover, as Lang Ye's aide, he can also be protected by the Tian Yao clan to a certain extent, reducing unnecessary troubles.

Finally, after careful consideration, Zhou Yiqiao nodded and agreed to Lang Ye's request.

"Brother Langye, since you think so highly of me, I am willing to serve as your advisor and go to Flame Scale City together."

When Lang Ye saw Zhou Yiqiao agreed, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"That's great, Brother Zhou. With your joining us, this trip will be much smoother."

Afterwards, Lang Ye introduced the situation of Yanlin City and the process of the son-in-law selection ceremony to Zhou Yiqiao in detail.

As the center of the Yanlin royal family, Yanlin City not only has solid city defenses, but also has unique culture and customs.

At the son-in-law selection ceremony, strong young men from all ethnic groups will compete for the princess's favor through competitions and duels.

Zhou Yiqiao listened carefully to Lang Ye's introduction, and was silently preparing the possible strategies and countermeasures in his mind.

In the following days, apart from his daily practice, Zhou Yiqiao spent the rest of his time asking the elders of the Sky Demon Clan for information about the Flame Scale Royal Family.

The elders in the clan all knew that Zhou Yiqiao had agreed to Lang Ye's request and became Lang Ye's aide. With the idea of ​​helping their young clan leader, they naturally told him everything they knew.

With the full support of the Tianyao Clan, Zhou Yiqiao not only quickly mastered the detailed information about the Yanlin Royal Family and their son-in-law selection ceremony.

He also learned from several of the most knowledgeable elders that a tribe under the Flame Scale Royal Family called the Wind Wing Tribe had suddenly developed extremely close ties with the human cultivators in Central Continent over the past few decades.

Zhou Yiqiao kept this information in mind and decided to go to Yanlin City. He would then find an opportunity to investigate the Fengyi Tribe to see if this tribe was as he thought, secretly colluding with the Great Elder.

Time passed in a busy manner, and finally, there was only one month left before the opening of the son-in-law selection ceremony. Zhou Yiqiao and others finally set out on the journey to Yanlin City.
