Volume 6 Chapter 150: Feng Qingtian (Part 3)

Feng Qingtian has been hiding in the Southern Wasteland for many years and knows the movements of the kylin very well.

Over the years, the fox demons have been causing chaos in the Southern Wasteland. The death of the Nine-Tails did not lessen their rampage; instead, they have become even more reckless. Many demon beasts have been killed and had their life essence taken by the fox demons. At this time, the number of demon beasts in the Southern Wasteland has greatly decreased. If the fox demons continue their havoc, the demon beasts will eventually disappear from the earth. Therefore, the kylin often go out to hunt the fox demons. However, the fox demons are incredibly cunning, and the factions "Ominous" and "Auspicious" often fight among themselves for no reason, wasting time. So, although there have been many victories, their roots remain unharmed.

This time, Feng Qingtian took advantage of the moment when two kylin had just left and sneaked into the black giant mountain. He activated a mysterious formation to enhance the phoenix bloodline within him. However, he did not expect that his plans would be disrupted. While boosting his phoenix bloodline, he gained many insights from the Phoenix Clan about the Heavenly Way and unexpectedly broke through to the Mahayana Stage. This should have been a good thing, but the two kylin sensed the commotion and returned, blocking him at the entrance with everything he had stolen.

Sensing the threatening aura of the two kylin, Feng Qingtian couldn’t help but sigh in regret, knowing that it would be impossible to escape with the mysterious formation this time.

But Feng Qingtian was someone who could let go of things. In an instant, his face returned to calmness. With a wave of his hand, the three-tailed demon fox he had raised jumped onto his shoulder, looking outside the cave with eyes that sparkled.

When Feng Qingtian opened the cave, he was astonished to see two identical kylin standing there, staring intently at him.

Even though Feng Qingtian is now a great master among humans, he still stepped back a few steps under the pressure of the two kylin.

"Human, what were you trying to do just now?"

Just as Feng Qingtian was astonished by the power of the two kylins, a mighty voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

After bowing deeply to the two kylins, Feng Qingtian respectfully said, "Honorable and powerful guardian Mythical Beasts, I am a descendant of the Feng family. According to the agreement between the Feng family and the five great Mythical Beasts, I have come to the ‘Jiazi Cave’ to strengthen the phoenix blood within me."

"Are you a descendant of the humans who merged with our blood long ago? The agreement we had back then only allowed those humans to use the treasures in ‘Jiazi Cave,’ and it did not include their descendants. Didn’t your ancestors tell you that?"

This time it was "Ominous" who asked, speaking with anger and a killing intent; the array was important for the inheritance of the five great Mythical Beasts, and both kylins valued it greatly, not allowing humans to use it freely.

Hearing "Ominous," Feng Qingtian showed a look of surprise and sadness, responding, "To the two guardian Mythical Beasts, the families with your Mythical Beast bloodlines offended two very powerful humans to protect that mysterious array. Under their schemes and attacks, the Mythical Beast families have long fallen, and now I am the only descendant of the fourteen Mythical Beast families. My ancestor’s experience came to me by chance, and I was unaware of this agreement. I acted rashly, only wanting to revive my family but ended up breaking a taboo. Please punish me, great Mythical Beasts."

This speech was eloquent, but it mostly expressed that the Mythical Beast families fell while trying to help the five great Mythical Beasts protect the array, and Feng Qingtian claimed he did not know that the descendants of the Mythical Beast families could not use the array in "Jiazi Cave." How could the two kylins find it within themselves to punish him?

Indeed, "Ominous" and "Auspicious," who had already made up their minds, hesitated upon hearing Feng Qingtian’s words.

After a silent discussion between them, "Auspicious" said to Feng Qingtian, "Since this is the case, we will not punish you this time. But only this once. The grievances between us and your ancestors have been settled, and we owe each other nothing now. We will forgive you this time because of the past, but you must make sure to explain this to your descendants. If we find any of your descendants here again in the future, we will show no mercy."

Hearing "Auspicious’s" words, Feng Qingtian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Knowing he had passed this trial, he bowed to "Auspicious" and "Ominous" and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Feng Qingtian was about to leave, the voice of "Ominous" echoed in his mind again. Feng Qingtian was startled, but without any hesitation, he turned to the two kylins and asked, "May I ask what you need?"

After a long moment without a response, he looked up and saw that "Auspicious" and "Ominous" were both staring intently at the three-tailed demon fox on his shoulder, while the three-tailed demon fox trembled violently under the gaze of the two powerful kylins, as if it might faint from fear at any moment.

Next, Feng Qingtian felt a weight on his shoulder. When he turned to look, he saw that although the three-tailed demon fox was not dead from fright, it had fainted.

Thinking about the situation in the Southern Wasteland over the years, Feng Qingtian understood and said to the two kylins, "I caught this fox in the bustling western Middle-earth; it does not belong to the Southern Wasteland."

The two kylins exchanged glances and felt that although the three-tailed demon fox was weak, it had an oddly familiar feeling. After hearing Feng Qingtian’s words, they thought they might have been too sensitive about the demon fox clan during this time.

"If that’s the case, you may leave now. Do not come here again; this is not a place for humans. Also, the blood essence inside you is nearly as pure as that of a real phoenix. You have limitless potential, so you should use this power carefully. If you do too many bad deeds, there will be retribution."

After leaving the black giant mountain, Feng Qingtian floated in the air and glanced back at the mountain. Although he gained a lot this time, he felt regret for not obtaining the mysterious array disk. He couldn’t help but sigh softly and thought to himself, "Although I haven’t acquired that mysterious array disk, with the purity of my bloodline now, combined with the ‘Statue of Shura’, it’s time for the Feng family to make a comeback. Zhang Xusheng, Jiuhua…"

Thinking about the situation after the Feng family’s comeback under his leadership, ambition surged in his heart. No longer hesitating, he transformed into a red light and quickly flew towards the Shenzhou Continent.

At the same time, the three-tailed demon fox, which should have been unconscious, had awakened without anyone noticing. Now, it was staring intently at the dwindling dark giant mountain. In the world of demon beasts, this dark giant mountain symbolized something like the crown of the ruler among humans. Yet, Feng Qingtian did not notice that the ambition in the eyes of the three-tailed demon fox was actually much stronger than his own.
