Hearing Qingchen's words, Lan Yue disagreed.
"I didn't expect that Commander Qingchen would be prejudiced against women, but don't forget, Her Royal Highness is also a woman."
Realizing that Lan Yue had misunderstood him, Qingchen couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"What the girl doesn't know is that I just want to defeat the Beast King, not kill him, and even if I kill the current Beast King, a new Beast King will appear in the Beast Clan.
We humans do not have the ability to wipe out all the beasts, so the method of killing to end the war simply does not work. "
"So what?"
Lan Yue still didn't understand what Qingchen meant, so she just listened to her calmly.
"Since defeating the Beast King is the key to solving the problem, it will of course be safer for me to take action. This is related to the future of our human cultivators, so I am naturally duty-bound. Maybe you don't believe me."
Qingchen explained with a smile.
"I'm not doubting your strength, girl, because this matter is a long story, but in the final analysis, it is because the old Beast King died indirectly at the hands of his previous female queen more than thirty years ago.
Since then, the Beast Clan has had a rule that the successor Beast King cannot lose to a female. If you defeat the current Beast King, girl, he will definitely be executed by other Beast Clan elders.
At that time, the Orcs will fall into civil strife, and although we have gained a moment of peace, the conflicts between the Humans and the Orcs will continue. "
Only then did Lan Yue figure out the whole story.
"This orc tribe is really strange. What's wrong with losing to a woman? Doesn't their orc tribe have powerful female orcs?
I think since their Beast King is so obsessed with face, he might as well give up the position of Beast King to a female orc, so that at least he doesn't have to lose his head to a woman once. "
"Well......"
Hearing Lan Yue's words, Qingchen and Yunling looked at each other, but they had never thought about this problem.
Just listen to Qingchen chuckle.
"Girl, this suggestion is very interesting. If you can meet the Beast King, you might as well ask him to consider it."
Yun Ling also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, if the Orcs can replace themselves with a female Beast King, their violent temper may be restrained to a certain extent. This will always be beneficial to our negotiations with the Orcs."
So Lan Yue nodded.
"Leave this matter to me."
Qingchen replied happily upon seeing this.
"Then please leave it to the girl."
"Do not worry."
Later, Lan Yue was about to enter the territory of the orcs, but at this moment, Qingchen suddenly said to Lan Yue with interest.
"Before the girl leaves, can you let us see the true pinnacle of swordsmanship in Yuanhun Continent?"
Lan Yue replied cheerfully after hearing this.
"sure."
All I saw was Lan Yue's beautiful silhouette, like a narrow blue lightning, shooting towards the primitive dense forest outside the city defense at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
After seeing Lan Yue's sword, Qingchen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"It turns out that her strength has already reached the realm of Sword Attendant, and we all underestimated her."
"Sword Attendant realm, doesn't that mean she has already broken through to the martial arts realm?"
Yun Yong has followed Qingchen for less than three years, but he has obtained the essence of Qingchen's swordsmanship. This is enough to prove that his swordsmanship is excellent, but compared with Lan Yue, this is far from enough.
"They are all the proud ones. We lost from the beginning, and we will never be able to make up for this gap based on the level of life and soul."
Although Yun Yong didn't quite understand Qingchen's words, he had already guessed the result from the sadness on Qingchen's face.
...
After passing through the primeval forest, Lan Yue came to an open space where there was no tree canopy blocking the sun. She easily found the location of the suspended tower.
What surprised her was that she didn't meet any orcs along the way. Could it be that this place was still far away from where the orcs lived?
However, without the beasts to stop her, she saved a lot of trouble. Lan Yue immediately rushed towards the suspended tower, where she believed that the beasts would definitely appear.
Sure enough, when Lan Yue approached the entrance of the hanging tower, she finally saw the legendary orcs.
"Why is it a woman again?"
A group of orcs standing opposite Lan Yue blocked her path. These orcs were all tall and tall, with broad shoulders and round waists. Even the dozen female orcs among them were obviously twice as tall as Lan Yue.
"Are you orcs?"
Lan Yue looked at the group of orcs in front of her with interest. She showed no fear at all, which made the orcs also become curious about her.
I saw the Great Protector of the Beast Tribe looking down at Lan Yue.
"Yes, but who are you? Do you know where this place is?"
Lan Yue nodded repeatedly and answered seriously.
"My name is Lan Yue, and I come from the Western Region. This should be your orc tribe's territory, and the high tower behind you must be the hanging tower leading to the Sky City."
The Great Protector of the Beast Tribe was stunned when he heard this. He looked around at his companions. Apparently, they did not expect that a young girl like Lan Yue could have such courage.
Immediately, the Great Protector of the Beast Clan asked again.
"Then do you know that we are fighting against humans?"
"I know, that's why I want to persuade your Beast King to stop fighting like this."
Lan Yue's real face looks very charming, but her otherworldly appearance is worthless in the eyes of the orcs, because in their eyes, a strong body is the only criterion for beauty.
Therefore, the face of the great protector of the beast clan became a little unhappy.
"Why do you come to visit our king of beasts?"
I saw Lan Yue raising the purple-green dagger in her hand.
"Just because I am stronger than you."
It was only then that the Great Protector of the Beast Tribe suddenly realized something was wrong, because they, the Beast Tribe, always habitually use their sense of smell to judge danger.
However, they never smelled the slightest dangerous breath from Lan Yue, except for a faint fragrance.
"Girl, you might as well give it a try. If you can kill me, it proves that you didn't lie. But if you can't kill me, then you may have to pay the price for your arrogance."
The great protector of the beast race did not show a timid look. Obviously, he intended to expose Lan Yue's lies. Even if the cost was his life, he was not afraid. This was the tradition of the beast race.
Lan Yue asked in surprise when she saw this.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Haha... If we orcs are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the difference between us and you humans?"
Hearing the words of the Great Protector of the Beast Tribe, Lan Yue felt a little awkward.
But she continued to ask very calmly.
"Are you the Beast King?"
"I'm not. The Beast King is resting at this time. They can all testify."
The Great Protector of the Beast Clan indicated that Lan Yue could seek verification from anyone among them, but Lan Yue simply did not believe what he said.
"It seems that you orcs are really interesting. I heard that your king of the orcs has a fatal weakness, that is, he cannot lose to a woman no matter what. And I am a woman, so he has been reluctant to come out to see me. Am I afraid that he will not be able to keep his position as the King of the Beast Tribe?"
Just after Lan Yue finished these words, he heard a deafening laughter coming from the huge tent behind the group of orcs.
"Haha, little girl, your provocation method is really effective against us orcs. If I don't come out again, I won't be able to be the king of the orcs anymore."
Seeing the figure of the Beast King suddenly appear in front of everyone, his body was a head taller than the Great Protector of the Beast Clan. Lan Yue really doubted whether whoever was taller in the Beast Clan could be the Beast King.
However, she did not actually ask the Beast King this question. Lan Yue looked up at the Beast King with a calm expression and smiled.
"You are finally willing to come out. I thought you were really sleeping."
After the Beast King saw Lan Yue, he couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that there is a swordsman as powerful as you among humans. I have never heard of it before. I don't know who the girl is. Are you here to stand up for the human race?"
After the Beast King spoke, all the orcs did not dare to interrupt anymore. It was obvious that there was a strict hierarchy among the orcs.
At the same time, the majesty of the Beast King does not allow anyone to challenge him. Even if the Beast King's attitude towards Lan Yue is somewhat gentle now, no one dares to complain to the Beast King.
Lan Yue naturally didn't understand these beast clan rules, but she guessed the beast king's thoughts.
So Lan Yue replied with a smile.
"I'm just a passerby. I don't want to stand up for anyone. It's just that before I entered your territory, a friend asked me to bring him a message for you."
When the Beast King heard this, the solemn look on his face finally relaxed a little.
"He what?"
I saw Lan Yue raising her finger and pointing to the towering tower behind everyone.
"My friend wants a fair fight with you. If he wins, you will no longer be able to block human practitioners from entering the hanging tower."
"Then what if he loses?"
When Lan Yue heard this, the corners of her mouth rose.
"If he loses, it will be my turn."
The Beast King suddenly said with a dark face when he heard this.
"You don't follow martial ethics!"
Unexpectedly, Lan Yue replied with disdain.
"Who allows you to occupy the Hanging Tower all the time and not give any chance to other practitioners? You must know that there is only one way from the Yuanhun Continent to the Sky City, but you have taken this place as your own. I think this is very unfair. It’s fair, it needs to be changed.”
Only then did the Beast King figure out Lan Yue's intention, and he said helplessly.
"You think we like to stay in this barren land in the far north. If we have a choice, we are willing to move to the blessed land of South Vietnam. Whoever likes to live here can come."
Lan Yue didn't expect the Beast King to say such a thing, so she asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Then why don't you get out of here?"
I saw the Beast King pointing at the hanging tower and saying the same thing.
"Because this tower is the source of our life. If we leave here, we will die."
"Uh... So that's it, but even so, why do you want to prevent other practitioners from entering the hanging tower? Are you afraid that human practitioners will destroy your source of life?"
The Beast King shook his head and replied.
"no."
"Then why?"
Faced with Lan Yue's repeated questioning, Beast King finally revealed the truth.
"We are afraid that one day, the entire Yuanhun Continent will fall into an irreversible situation due to the secret of the Hanging Tower being exposed."
"..."
