There are many branches of the Jinyin tribe, among which the five most powerful surnames are Lan, Wu, Meng, Lie and Lu.
However, since more than fifty years ago, the Lu branch has gradually declined.
Although it is still one of the five major branches now, its influence is not as strong as before.
Even some small branches have the meaning of replacing it.
Under the leadership of Jin Yanyinxue, Bai Yutian and Dianwei Zhao Chuxue came to the center of the Lan branch.
This place is located among the mountains, very secluded, and looks like a paradise.
In order to make things easier, Bai Yutian and the others used the art of disguise and disguised their identities, only saying that they were friends of Jin Yan Yinxue.
Although Jin Yan Yinxue is not related by blood, they can be considered a brother and sister in the clan.
The two left the Jinyin Clan when they were young and went to Lingyun Sect to practice.
Now that I finally came back, I was naturally welcomed with great grandeur.
"Jin Yan (Yin Xue) has met the clan elder."
In the main hall of the Lan branch, several old men appeared, all of whom had very high seniority in the branch.
Jin Yanyinxue saluted, and Bai Yutian and the other three also bowed slightly.
"Clan elder, why don't you see the clan leader?"
Jin Yan Yinxue looked around and found that there was no sign of the clan leader, so she asked doubtfully.
Several clan elders looked at each other with helpless expressions.
After some explanations, Jin Yanyinxue understood that it turned out that the clan leader often retreated into seclusion and rarely appeared in the eyes of outsiders.
The chief of the Jinyin Tribe has always been held by the leaders of the five major branches in rotation, which is similar to that of the Shanu Nation.
Forty years ago, it was finally the turn of the branch surnamed Lan to serve as clan leader.
However, the leader of their branch named Lan is a cultivator. It is said that he traveled around and fought with many people when he was young.
It's just that his strength is too strong and he can crush everyone.
Therefore, there have been few legends about him in the world.
Later, he came back to serve as the leader of the Jinyin tribe, but he often retreated to gain insights from cultivation.
Fortunately, the Jinyin clan usually has fewer affairs, so the problem of the clan leader's retreat is not that big.
Jin Yanyinxue left the Jinyin Clan when she was young and had very little impression of the clan leader.
Therefore, I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Bai Yutian, on the other hand, frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"Your Majesty, have you discovered anything?"
After all, Zhao Chuxue had a delicate mind and saw what Bai Yutian was thinking.
Bai Yutian shook his head, "Maybe I was wrong. Let's wait."
The Jinyin people were very hospitable. After having a good meal and wine, Bai Yutian and others finally got down to business.
"Elders, do you know the recent situation of the Lu branch?"
Jin Yan's eyes were fiery and he asked the question first.
"What can happen to the Lu branch? It's just a matter of forcible support."
"When these old guys die, the Lu branch will probably fall apart."
An old man with a ruddy complexion said loudly.
"The branch surnamed Lu is also one of the five major branches. I don't know what caused its decline to this point."
Bai Yutian now looks like an elegant young man with a smile on his face.
Several clan elders glanced at Bai Yutian, all looking wary.
Yinxue quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Elder of the clan, they are our fellow disciples, they have a close relationship and are trustworthy."
After saying that, Yinxue put her arm on Bai Yutian's shoulder, which made Jin Yan's eyelids jump wildly.
If others don't know, how can they not know?
The harmless young man in front of me is a murderous tyrant.
Although he is very kind to them now, there is no guarantee that Bai Yutian will not get angry.
Yinxue didn't pay attention to Jin Yan's eyes, but blinked at Bai Yutian, as if asking Bai Yutian to cooperate with her in acting.
Bai Yutian chuckled and did not blame Yinxue for going beyond.
Zhao Chuxue, on the other hand, was quite depressed at the side, with a faint chill exuding from her body.
"Haha, this matter is not a secret. It's okay to say it."
Among the elders, the elder with the highest status poured a cup of tea and took a sip slowly.
As soon as these words came out, even Jin Yanyinxue's expression became serious.
They grew up in the Jinyin tribe, but they had never heard of the reasons for the decline of the Lu branch.
"The reason for the decline of the Lu branch is simple: a plague."
"It's strange to say that this plague is only raging in the territory of the Lu branch and has not leaked out at all."
"Even if the people from the Lu branch come outside, they can't bring out the plague."
