Since they had agreed, they didn't waste any time in heading out.
The group that accompanied Lin Fan's group was one Great Elder from the White Tiger Race along with several elders. Then there were the elders from the Qilin Race, the Phoenix Race, and the Dragon Race.
The White Tiger Race elders wanted to show hospitality to these envoys from the three races, but they insisted on going with Lin Fan in the end.
However, the White Tiger Race didn't blame them since they knew how important Lin Fan, the Void God's successor, was to all five sacred beast races. So they just accepted this and allowed them to come along.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the first tribe.
This was the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe.
The White Tigers weren't separated based on colour since all of them were white tigers. Instead, they were separated based on the colour of the stripes on their body since that changed the different laws that they controlled.
They all had one law in common, but their secondary law was determined by their stripes.
As for why they had a secondary law, that was all because of the crossbreeding that happened with other races. This was also the reason why the other tribes had members of different colours.
The ancestors were the only ones that had their respective bloodlines, so it wasn't as if there were others back then for them to mate with. So they had no choice but to mate with other demon beasts, which created the various bloodlines that were passed down through the five sacred beast races.
That was why there were secondary laws that they could use.
The Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe was a race that had gravity laws. The peak of which was the ability to condense gravity to the point where it collapsed and created a black hole that was as dark as the stripes on their bodies.
When they arrived at the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe, the situation was the same as when Lin Fan visited any tribes of the other three races.
The tribe had been completely cleared out and there was only a group waiting for them.
When they arrived at the manor of the tribe head, there was the tribe head and a younger member of the tribe waiting for them.
Naturally, these two were confused why the elders had come to their tribe since they couldn't think of anything that they had done wrong. But they didn't dare relax as they welcomed the elders.
The one thing that they were the most confused by was the presence of Lin Fan.
The elders didn't explain who Lin Fan was, but by the way that he acted, it was clear that he had an important position that even the elders couldn't ignore.
So in the end, who was Lin Fan?
They didn't get a chance to ask this as Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Do you know if there's been any juniors of your tribe that have gone missing recently?"
When the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe head heard this, he couldn't help revealing an even more confused look. He had no idea why Lin Fan was asking this question, but the moment that he did, the elders suddenly started paying more attention.
The elders also didn't know why he was asking this question, but it felt like Lin Fan knew more than he was putting on…
If he was asking about a youth that was missing, could it be that he already had a clue as to where their tribe's true descendant was?
Was that also one of the reasons why he had asked to see the various tribes.
As this thought passed through their minds, they couldn't help turning back to the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe head. They all looked at him with serious looks that were compelling him to answer.
The Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe head couldn't help shrinking back when facing the pressure from all of these elders.
He didn't understand what was happening at all, so he just truthfully answered, "There have been a few that have been in accidents, but there aren't any youths that are missing like you're asking for."
Lin Fan immediately understood what he meant by this.
The youths of any race would go out to prove themselves and this was with its risks.
Those that went out to train would face the risk of death and there were a few that fell to the risks outside.
These were the ones that had been in accidents that the tribe head mentioned.
But these were not the ones that Lin Fan was looking for.
So in the end, he just gave a nod and said, "Thank you."
Then without waiting for anything, he stood up and turned to leave.
Everyone else who was in the room was caught off guard when they saw him do this.
However, the elders quickly reacted and stood up to follow him.
All that was left behind was a stunned Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe head and his son.
They looked at each other with confused looks as if they were trying to figure out just what had happened, but neither of them were able to say a thing. In the end, they were just left there completely confused.
Once Lin Fan left the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe, he asked the elders to bring him to the next tribe.
The elders had an idea of what Lin Fan was planning to do, so they wasted no time in contacting the next tribe and arranging the meeting.
But the next three tribes that they went to were all busts.
They were just like the Black Stripe White Tiger Tribe, they didn't know a single thing about anyone disappearing. All that they had were kids that were injured or killed because of their excursions outside.
So losing hope, Lin Fan headed to the last tribe, the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe.
This was the weakest out of all five of the White Tiger Race's tribes, which was why it was the last place that they had gone to.
The elders were certain that the true descendant of their race would appear in the powerful tribes and not the weak tribes, so that's why they had gone in this order. But it turned out that this wasn't the case and they had just wasted their time.
No one had any hope when they came to the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe.
But there was a surprise that no one expected.
When Lin Fan and the elders arrived, they were greeted by the tribe head and a younger person just like the rest of the tribes.
The tribe head was the one that asked, "Is there something that we can do for you today?"
The elders all turned to look at Lin Fan.
He had been slightly in a daze since he had also thought the same thing as the elders. The tribe that Xiao Bai came from must have been one of the stronger tribes, so he didn't think that this final tribe would be it.
But he still asked out of obligation because he had already asked everyone else this question, he couldn't just not ask them.
So he asked, "Have there been youths of your tribe that have gone missing recently?"
The tribe head revealed a confused look when he heard this, but out of the corner of his eyes, Lin Fan could see a tremble from the young man beside the tribe head. It was as if he had some kind of reaction to this question from Lin Fan.
When he saw this, Lin Fan couldn't help narrowing his eyes to look at this young man.
He hadn't been paying attention to this young man before, but now that he was looking at him properly, he could tell that there was something off about him. He clearly looked like there was something that he wanted to ask, but he didn't because the tribe head didn't want him to.
The tribe head finally gave him the same answer as the other tribe heads, but Lin Fan stopped him by asking, "What does he want to say?"
The 'he' that he was referring to was the young man beside the tribe head.
The Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe head was surprised to hear this, but since Lin Fan had asked this and the elders were all glaring at him, he had no other choice.
So with a sigh, he said, "Go and tell this honoured guest what you want to say."
The young man was surprised to hear this, but in the end he said, "My wife has gone missing. There was an accident and she was injured before going missing. If you have any news of her, can you please tell me?"
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, while the elders lost interest when they heard that it was his wife that was missing instead of a child.
Lin Fan couldn't help giving a focused look as he stared at the young man, as if he was trying to see him through.
The young man was confused when he saw this, but he didn't back down as he looked right at Lin Fan with a calm look. He didn't flinch at all since he knew that he didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted to find his wife.
After looking at him for a bit, Lin Fan realized that…
He might have made a mistake when it came to Xiao Bai's relationship with the White Tiger Race.
