A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: The Shock of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan

“Hissing, what a terrifying aura! Has someone in our Violet Thunderfinch Clan actually ascended to Immortal Sovereign?”

“This courtyard… I don’t remember it belonging to any of the Elders of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan.”

“Anyway, no matter what, since someone is crossing a tribulation within our clan, could it possibly be an outsider?”

The Violet Thunderfinches all watched this unfold, their thoughts swirling with speculation.

But once Zi Lei and Zi You arrived, their expressions turned grave. Exchanging a glance, they both immediately recognized that this courtyard was where Wu Yidao was staying.

Right now, though, they had no time to worry about much else—they planned to wait until after Wu Yidao’s breakthrough to deal with things. Moreover, they were shook by the power of Wu Yidao’s Thunder Tribulation, especially Zi Lei. She knew Wu Yidao was only an Initial Stage Immortal King, yet his tribulation from Initial to Intermediate Stage was comparable to an Immortal King Peak ascending to Immortal Sovereign. Just how prodigious was Wu Yidao’s talent?

Meanwhile, trapped in the midst of his Thunder Tribulation, Wu Yidao was completely unaware that a large group of Violet Thunderfinches had gathered outside. At that moment, he was fully absorbed in his own world.

“All laws return to nothingness; Chaos is the end.”

“Chaos gives birth to all things; all things return to Chaos. This is the way of Chaos!”

Wu Yidao’s understanding of the Dao of Chaos deepened to a new level. The next second, he opened his eyes and soared upward into the sky.

And the instant Wu Yidao appeared, the Violet Thunderfinches outside were utterly stunned.

“That posture… it doesn’t look like one of us Violet Thunderfinches. It’s more like a Human.”

“Fifth Elder, are you joking? How could there be a Human so brazenly within the territory of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan?”

“Well, maybe I was mistaken. My eyes must be deceiving me.”

Hearing the Elders’ words, Zi Lei shuddered involuntarily. When she first brought Wu Yidao in, it was only because he posed no threat to the Violet Thunderfinch Clan. She had originally thought he would leave quickly, but never imagined he would not only stay but also cause such a huge commotion.

In truth, not all Violet Thunderfinches held friendly feelings toward the Humans—at least, that was how Zi Lei saw it.

So now Zi Lei was already calculating how to bring Wu Yidao out of the territory alive. A mere Thunder Tribulation at such a low stage was naturally no match for Wu Yidao. Before long, he successfully crossed the tribulation and broke through to the Intermediate Stage Immortal King.

But the moment the Thunder Tribulation dissipated, the Violet Thunderfinches finally confirmed that the one crossing the tribulation was indeed a Human.

At once, the Great Elder sprang forward, his face filled with anger.

“How dare a Human enter the territory of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan? This is courting death!”

With that, the Great Elder was ready to attack and eliminate Wu Yidao by force.

Wu Yidao’s face darkened upon sensing the killing intent, and inwardly, he was prepared to unleash Chaos in response.

But at that moment, Zi Lei stepped forward.

“Great Elder, this person is under my protection within the clan territory, so please do not blame him.”

The Violet Thunderfinches present were stunned by Zi Lei’s intervention, clearly unable to accept the situation.

The Great Elder snorted coldly and said,

“Zi Lei, although you are the clan leader’s younger sister, you cannot just bring a Human into our Violet Thunderfinch territory without reason. You’d better give us a reasonable explanation.”

Hearing this, Zi Lei’s expression soured. Just as she was about to respond, Zi You stopped her.

When the clan leader appeared, all the Violet Thunderfinches present wore looks of shock and confusion.

Zi You slowly said,

“Everyone, he is simply a Human Immortal King, incapable of harming the Violet Thunderfinch Clan. Besides, he only accidentally entered our territory.”

“Rest assured, I will ensure he leaves in due time. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility.”

With Zi You’s intervention, most of the Violet Thunderfinches had started to accept the situation. Only the Great Elder and the Fifth Elder still wore looks of dissatisfaction.

“Clan Leader, it’s not that we don’t trust you, but have you forgotten that Humans have always been enemies to us Demons? If we let him stay, what if he colludes with other Humans to attack the Violet Thunderfinch Clan?”

“Great Elder, I’ve already said, I will make the final decision on this matter. So tell me, who really is the clan leader here — you or me?”

Zi You’s expression remained calm, but her tone was full of displeasure, clearly showing that if the Great Elder and Fifth Elder continued to oppose her, she wouldn’t hesitate to take action.

At this, the Great Elder and Fifth Elder snorted coldly.

“In that case, we’ll leave everything to the clan leader’s judgment. We have other important matters to attend to, so we won’t stay any longer.”

With that, the Great Elder and Fifth Elder turned and left immediately. The other Violet Thunderfinch warriors also began to disperse.

Soon, only Wu Yidao, Zi Lei, and Zi You remained, and the atmosphere grew heavy and silent.

Wu Yidao awkwardly scratched his nose. He couldn’t shake the feeling that it was because of him that the relationship between Zi Lei, Zi You, and the other Violet Thunderfinches had soured.

But the next moment, Zi You spoke up.

“Zi Lei, this trouble is your doing, so you should deal with it quickly.”

“Yes, Clan Leader!”

Zi Lei promised solemnly, then watched Zi You leave.

After Zi You was gone, Zi Lei sighed and looked at Wu Yidao.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, I’m sorry, but it seems you need to leave here as soon as possible. I was originally planning to ask you about the situation outside.”

“That’s all right. I don’t truly belong to the Violet Thunderfinch Clan anyway. If you want to know about what’s happening outside, I’m more than willing to tell you.”

Wu Yidao smiled. Since Zi Lei had treated him well, he didn’t mind making her a friend.

But soon, he grew curious and asked,

“But you’re an Immortal Sovereign — how could you not know what’s going on outside?”

At this, Zi Lei sighed softly, her voice tinged with melancholy.

“Don’t be fooled by my strong cultivation. The truth is, I have never left Buzhou Mountain.”

“Why? With your power, leaving Buzhou Mountain and returning wouldn’t seem that difficult, would it?”

Wu Yidao was filled with confusion. After all, with his cultivation as an Immortal King, it wouldn’t take him many years to leave Buzhou Mountain and then return.

Hearing Wu Yidao’s words, Zi Lei’s expression instantly grew serious.

“That’s because there is a rule within Buzhou Mountain — any living being born on Buzhou Mountain is forbidden from leaving without permission!”
