Chapter 125 Suddenly Encountering Two Clans
Chapter 125 Suddenly Encountering Two Clans
"By the way, why do you call him 'Boss'? Is there any special meaning behind it?" Mu Bai asked.
Zu Chuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not the boss, it's the prison boss."
"Is there a difference?" Mu Bai asked, somewhat puzzled, unsure of what "lao da" meant.
"I thought young people all liked surfing the internet. Even an old guy like me knows this, but you don't?" Zu Chuan said with some surprise, explaining, "It's just a meme, mostly used by young people online for jokes."
"The two demons here must be surfing the internet a lot, and then they learned about this 'Lao Da' (prisoner), and somehow they started calling themselves 'Lao Da'. Demons are keeping up with the times, but they don't seem to understand what 'Lao Da' is, so they keep making us call them that."
"Okay." Mu Bai accepted, but he really didn't know what "lao da" meant, and he didn't surf much.
"This is your room. There's nothing inside, just a stone slab. It's fine as long as you can sleep on it. We're all the same. Just clean the dust out of it." Zu Chuan said, "I'll come and get you tomorrow. The competition is the day after tomorrow. Go and familiarize yourself with something first. You must have been wandering in the dark for a long time. Get some rest first."
Zu Chuan left after saying this.
This stone house really has nothing there. They say there's a stone slab, but it's just a broken stone. How could anyone sleep on that? It's better to sleep on the floor.
However, since he was already there, Mu Bai tidied up the room. There was a window, but it was just a hole; there was nothing else there.
Through this cave, Mu Bai could see the enemy's main camp. Compared to this place, those palaces were far too luxurious, but unfortunately, they were uninhabitable.
Mu Bai didn't rest. He felt that this place was unreal, like an illusion. It wasn't based on any evidence, but rather on his intuition.
It is very strange that an ancient tomb could be formed in this way.
He's not going to do anything without investigating, just obediently wait for the competition, and do whatever he's asked; that would be utterly foolish.
Mu Bai isn't stupid.
Since there were no restrictions on his movements, Mu Bai went out for a stroll after making a mark on the roof of the house using ice and plant magic.
This mark is also on other houses, but they are all different marks, made by the people here.
Unlike outside, there aren't many people here, and there aren't many markets. People usually gather in small groups to chat and complain.
Although they are on the same side, their relationship isn't exactly good.
Mu Bai strolled around for a while and found that there were at least three hundred people in their camp, and the other side probably had about the same number as well, and that was just a minimum.
I might have to come back again in the future. There are already seven or eight white people here, it's really scary.
"Mu Bai, aren't you going to rest?" Zu Chuanshuo walked over. He and a few friends were chatting together. When they saw Mu Bai coming over, Zu Chuanshuo stood up and invited her over.
"How can we rest? We don't even know what kind of place this is. It would be strange if we could rest. I haven't been able to relax at all. This is an ancient tomb!" Mu Bai complained.
"That's true. I don't know what to say. You'll adjust on your own after a while. I was like you back then, but I'm fine now. Saying it won't help," Zu Chuan said with a smile.
Mu Bai looked at him; he didn't recognize him and had never seen him before.
"Tang Wei is a friend of mine, and his cultivation level is at a high level," Zu Chuan introduced.
"I'm ashamed to say that you're already a super-level expert, while I've only recently reached the high-level." Tang Wei said with an embarrassed smile.
Zu Chuan pointed to a short man with sharp eyes and said, "Brother Tang is also a high-level mage, and a veteran one at that. He's been here the longest among us. You can ask him any questions you have. He knows what I know, and he even knows what I don't."
Brother Tang nodded, which was his way of greeting him.
"Jiang Yun, a high-level mage, is an off-line member of the Jiang family and also has great potential," Zu Chuan said. He was the last person, and compared to the others, he clearly had a more noble aura.
Just like the legend of our ancestors.
There were only four of them in total. Others were also gathered in small groups. It was rare to see dozens of people gathered together, since it was inconvenient to do anything if there were too many people. It was a little better if there were only a few people.
"Is the Jiang family very famous?" Mu Bai asked. Zu Chuan had specifically mentioned the Jiang family, which made Mu Bai curious. Zu Chuan would never have mentioned it if it wasn't very important.
However, Mu Bai has never really understood this family or that family. After all, it's not like he was back in magic school, when he always had to investigate the backgrounds of the various students.
After the disaster in Bo City, he realized that strength was necessary, and only strength could be useful.
He focused on cultivation afterward and paid less attention to such matters, only knowing that Mu Qianjin was from the Mu clan and shared the same lineage as him.
"Their fame is extraordinary, but that's only true for some famous mages, like those who are high-ranking mages. Ordinary people don't know about the Jiang family," Zu Chuan said.
"Actually, calling it the Chiang family isn't quite accurate. If it weren't for the fact that the Chiang family's main strength is in the military region, I think it would be more appropriate to call them the Chiang clan, at least more qualified than the Mu clan."
"Their influence extends to the Central Plains. Many leaders of the Forbidden City Army are members of the Jiang family, and not only in the Central Plains, but there is also a Jiang family general near the ancient capital."
After hearing the ancestral legend, Mu Bai understood a lot. He was a nobleman when he was young. Those who could be compared with the Mu family and be called by a clan name were all strong. There must be a powerful mage in the family.
Moreover, the Forbidden City Army has such a great reputation that even Mu Bai, who is completely oblivious to worldly affairs, knows something about it. The Jiang family... looking at it this way, they are indeed impressive.
"And what about you?" Mu Bai looked at Zu Chuan again. The Jiang family was so powerful, what about the Zu family?
The reason Mu Bai felt that the Zu family was also a large family was mainly because of the Zu family's legendary temperament, which was different from that of a grassroots mage. A grassroots mage who becomes a super-level mage is different from a super-level mage from a family; the two temperaments are completely different.
His ancestors were said to have the air of someone from a large family.
Mu Bai used to have it, and although it still exists now, much of it has disappeared.
"Hehe." Zu Chuan smiled sheepishly, "I'm just a peripheral member of the Zu family, someone who's branched out, so I guess I'm half a member of the Zu family."
"The Zu family's power is mainly overseas. In terms of family combat strength, they should be about the same as the Mu family, but in terms of international influence, they are much greater than the Mu family."
Wow, this is quite a big shot. I actually met members of two clans in such a short time.
However... this doesn't seem surprising.
