Overriding the Heaven

On the way back, everyone rode on Chu Yan's Spirit Boat.    

The route he took was naturally the same route back.    

Because when they were being chased by the monkey, Mo Qiong and the others were in a panic and didn't know where to go. They simply didn't follow the original route they had taken to enter the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest.    

Right now, if he wanted to return to Tongzhou City, he had to leave the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest first. After determining the location, he would then turn around and fly.    

Since he had the time, Chu Yan asked Mo Qiong about the Bai Clan.    

Mo Qiong was very respectful to Chu Yan, and she spoke everything she knew about Chu Yan.    

Therefore, she told him everything she knew about the Bai Clan.    

In reality, around 70 years ago, the Bai Clan was still the City Lord's clan of the same boat city.    

In other words, at that time, the Patriarch of the Bai Clan was also the City Lord of Yu Zhou City.    

The Bai Clan had reigned in Tongzhou City for a full four hundred years. They were originally a foreign clan, but after painstakingly developing, their clan might have had some fortuitous encounters and reached its peak two hundred years ago.    

At that time, the Bai Family had a total of twelve celestial mood stage cultivators.    

This amount was more than enough to establish one's own sect.    

However, the Bai Clan did not do so.    

This was also the most admirable aspect of the Bai Clan.    

Tongzhou City was the closest of the three cities to the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest.    

And because of this, since ancient times, Boat City had also suffered the most attacks from demon beasts.    

There was a historical record of the most intensive demon beast invasion. Within a month's time, it had reached a total of twelve times.    

If an ordinary city encountered such frequent attacks by demon beasts, it would either be broken down by the demon beasts and be utterly defeated, or the residents in the city would all move out and hand the city over.    

However, there were no such things as those in Tongzhou.    

The most important reason was the Bai Clan's bloody battle.    

The Bai Clan was the leader of the cultivation clans in Boat City, and resisted every attack from the demonic beasts.    

There was a saying in the Bai Clan: "The children of the clan can only die on the battlefield against the demon beasts."    

And the most tragic battle came from seventy years ago.    

That time, for some reason, the number of demon beasts was more than every single one in the past several hundred years.    

Furthermore, there were more than forty Grand Monster of Manifestation gathered together.    

In this battle, out of the eight cultivators that the Bai Clan possessed, two had died.    

The remaining six, in order to block the continuous attacks of the beast tide on the defensive line, decisively used the Bai Clan's forbidden technique. They used their lives as a guide to draw upon the heavenly thunder, bringing down the terrifying lightning punishment.    

Dense rays of lightning interweaved to form a line of defense that stretched for thousands of miles, blocking the area between the Boat City and the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest.    

The lightning continued for three days.    

And it was precisely by relying on these three days of delay that they had managed to persist until the great army of cultivators arrived to assist them, causing the beast tide to retreat resentfully.    

That battle had completely weakened the Bai Clan.    

It had to be known, not to mention the fact that almost all the cultivators of the celestial mood stage were dead, but in a battle, there was no way that only the celestial mood stage could fight.    

Moreover, it was the kind of family that protected their territory without fear of death.    

What the Bai Family had lost was not only the highest level celestial mood stage, but also all of their Earth Origin Stage and high-level Pulse Condensation.    

In terms of strength, after that battle, the Bai Clan had changed from a clan that could establish a sect to a small clan that could only exist in the village.    

But fortunately, at that time, there was one more survivor out of the Bai Family's celestial mood stage.    

He was also the current ancestor of the Bai Clan.    

However, when this forefather had been discovered, he had been nothing more than charred coal.    

After being revived, the realm of the Bai Family's ancestor directly fell from the celestial mood stage to the Pulse Condensation realm.    

The reason Mo Qiong and the others risked their lives to find the Blood Ice Pupil was to prolong the Bai Clan Patriarch's life.    

In Mo Qiong's words, even if the City Lord's Mansion was replaced by someone else, and even if the Bai Clan didn't have a high level combat power, as long as anyone dared to disrespect the Bai Clan in the Tong Zhou City, the entire city would fight with their life on the line with this person.    

This was because everyone knew that the lives of everyone in this city were exchanged with the lives of the Bai Clan's past generations of cultivators.    

The Bai Clan was the symbol of the same boat city, and they also believed in it.    

At this point, Chu Yan noticed that whether it was Mo Qiong or the other cultivators, their eyes were all flashing.    

At this time, Chu Yan also understood why Mo Qiong was so resolute to hand over the Treasured Blood Ice Eye Lingzhi to him.    

From her point of view, no one in the surroundings of the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest would give the things they gave to the Bai Clan for themselves.    

However, Mo Qiong made a small mistake this time.    

Before this, Chu Yan didn't even know about these things.    

On the way out, Chu Yan sped up the Spirit Boat's flight.    

So two days later, the Spirit Boat drove out of the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest.    

The following matter was left to Mo Qiong and the others.    

After observing the nearby terrain and following the map in her hands, Mo Qiong told Chu Yan that their luck wasn't bad either. The time it took to arrive at the Boat City was about the same as the time it took to leave the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest; it should be two days.    

Mo Qiong also showed Chu Yan the map she owned.    

The map was carved into a jade slip.    

Chu Yan scanned it with his consciousness and found that the map was very rough and could only barely be identified. However, according to Mo Qiong's explanation, some special terrain and the safe zone could be seen.    

They continued on their way.    

Two days later, Chu Yan, who was standing on the Spirit Boat deck, could see the Boat City from afar.    

Although Chu Yan had gotten a certain understanding of the city from Mo Qiong and the others in the past few days, he still couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.    

Because the structure of this city was different from what he had seen in the past.    

This city was actually like a circle, one big and one small, leaning against each other.    

Among them, the big round looked a lot more prosperous, the small round looked a lot older.    

Chu Yan asked Mo Qiong and quickly understood.    

So it turns out that the situation in the same boat city was somewhat similar to the Evergreen Town.    

The Evergreen Town was also divided into the new town and the old town.    

The first time Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran met was in the old town.    

This was the smaller old city.    

Afterwards, about seventy years ago, after that tragic battle, the Old City was completely handed over to the Bai Clan from the City Lord's Mansion. Then, next, a new city was built next to the Old City.    

The new city had extremely powerful defensive arrays, so they no longer needed to worry about the invasion of the beast tide.    

"We're going to the Old City right now." Mo Qiong explained, "Actually, there isn't much difference between the new city and the old one. It's just that because it's newly built, it looks a bit more prosperous. We are generally used to living in the old one, and because the old one is kind, moreover —"    

Mo Qiong smiled. "It's also because I can be closer to the Bai Clan."    

While they were talking, the Spirit Boat had already landed in front of the old city gate.    

At this moment, Chu Yan realized that there were no guards in front of the city gate. Anyone passing by could enter and leave at will.    

It was also very different from the cities he had passed through in the past.
