Martial Peak

Chapter 2578, Wood Spirit Clan

Yang Kai followed Xiao Xiao towards the front and soon arrived at an empty area.

Eight Stone Spirits were already gathered here, all standing behind a table with stone plates on them that seemed to have been locally crafted.

Behind the stone tables were some stone chairs.

The ancient Stone Spirit Elder was already sitting at the head of the stone table, smiling widely as he looked in Yang Kai’s direction.

When Yang Kai and Zhang Ruo Xi followed Xiao Xiao here, the Stone Spirits standing at both sides all paid their respects to them, which made Yang Kai feel really awkward. He and Zhang Ruo Xi could only constantly pay their respects in return. All of these Stone Spirits had been alive for countless years already, so it could be said that they were older than almost everyone in the Star Boundary, and Yang Kai couldn’t be rude in front of them.

Two empty stone seats were next to Elder, obviously prepared for Yang Kai and Zhang Ruo Xi.

When they got closer, Elder raised his hand and announced, “Our two Honoured Guests, please have a seat!”

Yang Kai excused himself as he walked over to the stone table next to Elder and sat down. Ruo Xi saw this and could only sit down quietly on the other side.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao ran to the back and sat at the other end of the table together with the other Stone Spirits. He kept acting naughty, which caused the Stone Spirit next to him to knock him with its hand and make a clamorous sound. This instantly made Xiao Xiao start behaving.

“It is our Stone Spirit Clan’s honour to receive guests from afar and dedicate this banquet to them. Please don’t mind that our fare isn’t very fancy,” Elder laughed with an uproarious voice that was as loud as thunder which rattled the eardrums.

Yang Kai got up and replied, “Elder, you’re being too kind. It is my honour to receive such treatment from your clan. I wouldn’t dare to mind anything.”

Elder smiled and nodded, indicating for Yang Kai to sit before he continued, “My Stone Spirit Clan has few clansmen. Those you see here are all that remains of my clansmen. Everyone, introduce yourselves to our honoured guest so that he can tell you apart.”

“Yes!” The Stone Spirits all responded and got up in unison as they greeted Yang Kai. The first one introduced himself by saying, “Shi Yi!”

“Shi Er!”
