Along with Yan Bo, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu too rushed to the Winged Human Tribe.

They had also learned a lot about the Winged Human Tribe on their way there.

For example, the current Winged Human Tribe was split into two factions. One of the factions was headed by the current Lord of the Winged Human Tribe, while the other was headed by Jue Tianlan, the ancient sky-pride who was recently awakened.

Although there was no conflict between the two factions, they still competed with each other in secret.

Yan Bo was from the faction that was headed by the current Lord of the Winged Human Tribe. This time, besides coming to Lan Yu for help with the Winged Human Tribe, he also intended to win Lan Yu over to his faction, considering that she was another sky-pride who could contend with Jue Tianlan.

Chu Kuangren was not surprised at this in the slightest.

The awakening of the ancient sky-prides was quite a good thing for certain factions, but there was a possibility that their appearances could ups.h.i.+ft the internal power balance for those factions as well.

This was especially for the Winged Human Tribe who was not particularly stronger when compared to a sage orthodoxy, yet to say it was weak, it was only second to an Honorable Orthodoxy.

They needed a Supreme Sky-Pride to lead the orthodoxy into a better future. However, since that sky-pride had been in a slumber for many years, he no longer possessed deep commitments towards the orthodoxy so naturally, there were certain risks to it as well.

Soon after, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived at the Winged Human Tribe's territory.

It was an extremely large city which consisted of huge distinctive buildings that generally had domed designs and were mainly white.

The city was busy as usual. Besides the Winged Humans, there were also many foreign merchants, cultivators, and more; it was a lively sight.

In the center of the city stood a white palace with armored guards patrolling back and forth in a strict manner.

“Lan Yu, you're finally here.”

Upon entering the palace, a middle-aged man who had white hair and white brows welcomed them.

The middle-aged man was the current Lord of the Winged Human Tribe.

“Greetings, my lord.” Lan Yu bowed. Despite not wanting to return to the Winged Human Tribe, she still felt a sense of belonging upon seeing many Winger Humans around her.

There were also a few elders and young talents behind the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe who all sized Lan Yu up curiously when she arrived.

After all, the fact that no one knew about the addition of a Supreme Daoist Physique wielder in their tribe was extremely strange indeed.

Not to mention that the tribe member was the one who possessed the Scepter of Light, which was one of the most important weapons recorded in the ancient scriptures of the Winged Human Tribe.

However, not long after, everyone's gazes were instantly drawn to Chu Kuangren who was standing beside Lan Yu and they were all astonished.

Even among the Winged Human Tribe which was well known for its handsome men and beautiful women, Chu Kuangren's appearance and temperament still stood out. None of them could ever hold a candle to him at all.

“Who the h.e.l.l is that person? Is he a Winged Human as well?”

“No, that can't be. He doesn't have the aura of Winged Human.”

“Then again, he looks even better than a Winged Human though, and he even came with Lan Yu as well. Oh, I know it now. He's Chu Kuangren.”

“That should be him.”

The crowd of Winged Humans continued to discuss. Just as everyone was checking him out, he was doing the same thing to them as well.

Besides being known for their good appearances, the Winged Human Tribe was also well versed in combat as well. Upon taking a closer look, Chu Kuangren noticed that every single one of them had a formidable air about them, unlike the ordinary sky-prides who were spoiled and ent.i.tled.

Other than that, he also noticed that despite being in the same tribe, Lan Yu's appearance was a little different compared to them too.

Besides having a pair of wings, ordinary Winged Humans including the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe were no different from ordinary people.

However, when it came to Lan Yu, her long hair was silver, her eyes were s.h.i.+ny like sapphire, and she radiated with the Holy Radiant aura. All of these added an extra tinge of beauty to Lan Yu and it made her stand out even more among the other Winged Humans.

Chu Kuangren grinned and there was an inexplicable pride in his heart.

As expected, his Lan Yu was the best looking no matter where they went.

“I guess this must be the Black Heaven Sect's Elder Senior Brother then.” The Lord of the Winged Human Tribe approached Chu Kuangren and took a bow immediately.

“Greetings, my Lord. ”

“It's my pleasure, Brother Chu. I have already ordered the others to prepare a banquet to welcome both of you today.” The Lord of the Winged Human Tribe chuckled.

With that, a banquet was soon prepared in the palace hall. All the elders from the Winged Human Tribe were present and that included the Young Emperor Jue Tianlan.

As a Winged Human himself, Jue Tianlan naturally had a good complexion and among the people that Chu Kuangren had met, he was truly the most good looking out of everyone.

Except for him of course.

Meanwhile, Jue Tianlan was so surprised that he took a double-take at Chu Kuangren at the banquet. Even he did not expect that there was a better-looking man than himself.

Jue Tianlan felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of that.

This was especially when he saw Lan Yu's well-behaved appearance beside Chu Kuangren, and an unknown rage surged within his heart.

One should know that when he went to look for Lan Yu in the past, she only treated him coldly. She did not even show him any hint of tenderness that she did now with Chu Kuangren now.

“Lan Yu, I'm glad that you've thought it out and have chosen to return to our Winged Human Tribe. This is great news indeed. If we were to join forces in the future, the Winged Human Tribe will definitely reach new heights. Here's a toast to you.” Jue Tianlan restrained the jealousy he had towards Chu Kuangren and raised his gla.s.s as he smiled at Lan Yu.

However, Lan Yu lifted her gla.s.s and replied, “The reason I'm here is to help deal with the Demonic Well. I shall leave soon after this matter is settled. Leading the tribe is a matter for you and the Lord of the tribe.”

Her words stunned every elder at the scene.

“I see, we shall discuss Lan Yu's matter next time. She's right, we must first stabilize the Demonic Well.” Noticing that the atmosphere was turning tense, the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe hurriedly changed the topic.

When the banquet ended, both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu stayed in the palace for a night. Only on the next day did they head towards the… Demonic Well.

The so-called Demonic Well was not a well in the literal sense but a spatial rift instead. It was known as the Demonic Well because it could connect to the Underworld Demonic Realm.

The Demonic Well that was guarded by the Winged Human Tribe was atop of an altar in the palace. It was suppressed by four pillars that were engraved with runes around them.

The power of the Sage Ruler Holy King was still contained within the stone pillars but due to unknown reasons, that energy was greatly weakened and thus the Scepter of Light was required to restore its power.

“We'll leave it to you, Lan Yu.”

One of the Winged Human elders looked at her and said.

He was a guardian of the altar. When the spell around the altar started to have some problems a few days ago, it had enabled the Demonic Well to turn active. In an effort to suppress the Demonic Well, he was greatly injured and had not recovered since.

However, he had already briefed Lan Yu regarding the method to restore the spell's power on their way here.

“Alright, I'll try my best to do this.” Lan Yu nodded before her figure disappeared in a flash. She had opened her wings and flew atop the altar.

As soon as she took out the Scepter of Light, a Holy Radiated Aura shone from her body and it moved everyone present.

“That's the Scepter of Light, which was once a weapon of the Sage Ruler Holy King in the past.”

“It was said that the Scepter was a symbol of the Winged Human Tribe's highest authority. That means that whoever wields the Scepter has the authority to command the Winged Human Tribe.”

“This was due to our forefathers' immense respect towards the Sage Ruler Holy King. However, since the Scepter is still a Sage Ruler Weapon, its strength is still unparalleled.”

“You're right.”

The eyes of all the Winged Humans, including their Winged Human Lord, all lit up with a fiery pa.s.sion as they witnessed the Scepter of Light in Lan Yu's palms.

Chu Kuangren stood aside and watched with a frown.

'Just a mere Sage Ruler Weapon is enough to move the hearts of the people in the whole sage orthodoxy, not to mention the symbolic meaning that the Scepter of Light poses to their people. Will the people of the Winged Human Tribe let Lan Yu go that easily after this?'

When he thought of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Chu Kuangren's gaze. 'Well, I hope they better not be up to something. Otherwise, they better not blame me for being ruthless.'
