Overriding the Heaven

Chu Yan reached out to pick up the jade letter again. After feeling the faint fluctuations from it, he became even more satisfied.    

This time, the Bai Clan wasn't fooling others.    

This was the original jade chip.    

Actually, the Bai Clan could've copied a map and given it to Chu Yan.    

But now, they had taken out the original.    

The meaning to be expressed was self-evident: a duplicated map could be deleted, but the original could not.    

This is the sincerity of our Bai Clan.    

However, Chu Yan was only satisfied with this jade chip.    

As for the Bai Clan's attitude.    

"Hehe ~ ~ ~"    

The Bai Clan's current attitude was just like a sheep making up for its loss.    

This sudden incident that happened to Chang Jin, the strength Chu Yan displayed at the top of the Tongzhou City made the Bai Clan feel a deep sense of crisis.    

There was no doubt that the Bai Clan's reputation was good.    

However, this reputation was earned by the Bai Clan's previous generation, generation after generation, and so on.    

To put it harshly, the current Bai Clan, and even the old ancestor of the Bai Clan, were enjoying the shade of their ancestors.    

Although they were reverent, but to a certain extent, they were very similar to the floating pavilions.    

It looked gorgeous, majestic, and tall, making people worship it.    

However, the foundation below was empty.    

Once a hole or crevice appeared, the majestic building would instantly collapse.    

Moreover, not only would it collapse, it would also be detested by others if it were to smash onto someone.    

The higher the pavilion was, the more painful it would be when it collapsed. Naturally, it would be more loathsome.    

The ancestor of the Bai Clan knew this better than anyone else.    

So, when Chang Jin did that and it was very possible that it would affect the Bai family, she decisively chose to lower her head to Chu Yan.    

But of course, the power Chu Yan displayed was also a very important aspect.    

This was a Earth Origin Stage that could be used to massage the celestial mood stage.    

And then, there was Chu Yan's money …    

With all these reasons combined together, the Bai Clan ancestor decisively gave up on his pride and arrogance, and made a compromise with Chu Yan.    

You want the map of the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest, right?    

No problem, there is no problem with your identity. Not only will I give it to you, I will give it to you as the original!    

Are you satisfied?    

Seeing Chu Yan's satisfied expression, the Bai Clan Ancestor and Bai Ju's slightly perturbed hearts finally calmed down and they heaved a long sigh of relief.    

If the other party was able to accept it, at the very least, it would mean that they wouldn't pursue the matter regarding Chang Jing.    

As for the matter of the City Lord's Mansion causing a ruckus last night, the Bai Clan would naturally send someone else to deal with it.    

"We have already recorded another copy of this map, so you can take this original. Lord Chu." The ancestor explained again, then said, "As for the reason why I didn't agree to give the map directly to Lord Chu right from the start yesterday, I think it's better if I explain so that no unnecessary misunderstandings will occur in the future."    

"Hmm?" Chu Yan raised his head and looked towards the Bai Clan ancestor, "You were unwilling to give it to me yesterday, is it because I didn't say the reason for entering the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest?"    

"That's an excuse." The Bai clan's ancestor honestly replied, "However, I hope that you can be at ease about one thing. What we are targeting is this matter and not you.    

Our Bai Clan has always done everything for the sake of the citizens and the cultivators of the Boat City. "    

After a pause, the ancestor said, "Yesterday, I didn't want to give it to you immediately because I felt a trace of demonic aura from you."    

"Demonic Qi?" Mo Qiong looked doubtfully at Chu Yan, looking him up and down.    

She then understood, "Ancestor, you are worried that Lord Chu is a Grand Monster of Manifestation."    

"That's right." "Actually, up until now, I could still feel a trace of Demonic Qi from Lord Chu. If it wasn't for the fact that we can confirm that you're not a Demonic Beast, even if this map of the Bai Clan died and your reputation was ruined, it would not have been handed over to you."    

Chu Yan didn't reply immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment.    

Very quickly, he understood why he could feel demonic qi emitting from his body.    

He was originally a normal cultivator, this was not a problem.    

But later on, the Canghai Cloud Cracking Beast's blood essence, the White Tiger's blood essence, and the Qilin's blood essence were all fused with his blood vessels.    

All of these were at the Divine Beast level of blood essence.    

Other than that, there was also the physique of Demonic Python and the body of the Pure Fish Dragon that were both in the Postnatal realm.    

Right now, even if he wanted to maintain his aura, it would be impossible.    

However, Chu Yan did not immediately say the reason, nor did he intend to.    

Otherwise, his secret would have been exposed.    

"Is it the ability of the Bai Clan to sense demonic energy?" asked Chu Yan.    

"Yes." This time, it was Bai Ji who answered in place of the ancestor, "The secret technique that has always been passed down in our Bai Clan is being able to see through Demonic Qi and is also able to restrain it accordingly."    

This kind of good stuff suddenly made Chu Yan's heart move.    

However, the ancestor seemed to have seen through Chu Yan's thoughts. He said, "Lord Chu, there is no need to worry about this. If you want this ability, you must have the pure blood of our Bai Clan."    

"So that's how it is." Since the other party told him the reason, Chu Yan didn't force him.    

Mo Qiong nodded her head in agreement. "No wonder the old city has never been guarded and doesn't require formations. So that's the reason."    

At this time, Chu Yan asked a second question: "Then how are you so sure that I'm not in the demon form?"    

The ancestor looked at Bai Jian.    

This question was once again answered by Bai Xiang.    

However, this time, the Bai Clan's Clan Head was hesitating.    

However, Chu Yan finally understood what he meant.    

"You're too rich."    

This was an exaggeration of Chu Yan's quantity of spirit stones.    

The moment he saw the Spirit Mountain, the Bai Clan Patriarch firmly believed that Chu Yan could not be a demonic beast.    

One reason was because the cultivation requirements for spirit stones were far lower than for cultivators.    

Secondly, the amount of Spirit Stones stored in the Spirit Mountain was probably more than all of the Spirit Stones in the entire Fallen Rain Forest.    

Since that's the case, how could Chu Yan be a demon beast transformed from the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest?    

This logic sounded somewhat common, but it was also very convincing evidence.    

Chu Yan thought for a while and didn't know how to comment. In the end, he nodded and finally understood.    

After obtaining the map, Chu Yan's mission to Boat City was finally completed.    

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, with this map, they could at least head to the Fallen Land of the Fallen Barbarians. They wouldn't rely on luck like they did in the beginning, with only a few clues.    

As the saying goes, a sharpening knife can be exchanged for six or seven days of time without delay. It might save a few dozen days, so it was still worth it.    

But just as Chu Yan prepared to leave, the Bai family's old ancestor spoke again, "Lord Chu, please wait. I still have two things I want to discuss with you."    

Without waiting for Chu Yan to refuse, she continued, "The first thing is that there is something that can be considered a magic treasure. I think it might be useful to you, Lord Chu."
