Chapter 24  The Advancement of the Calamity, Princess of the Phoenix Clan

At the same time, Chu Yuan was rushing toward the East Sea with Nuwa and Feng Ling at incredible speed.

At Qilin Cliff.

“How dare you!!”

“The fall of the Cloud Qilin was one thing! But now you even dare to kill my son, the Fire Qilin?!”

“Do you think no one dares to offend the Qilin Clan?!”

A roar filled with boundless rage and killing intent shook the entire Qilin Cliff violently. The terrifying quasi-Saint pressure silenced all the Qilin clan members into fearful stillness!

The fall of the Cloud Qilin, from the perspective of the Fire Qilin’s lineage, was a serious matter. But from the perspective of the entire Qilin Clan, it was not a big deal. The three innate tribes had been clashing and fighting for countless years.

Every now and then, members of their own tribe would fall to enemies. But those of the Da Luo Golden Immortal level…

This was the first time!

“Greetings, Father!”

“Father, please calm your anger!”

“Clan Leader, forgive us!”

“…”

After a short moment, dozens of top experts from the Qilin clan and the Beast tribe, mainly Golden Qilin, Wood Qilin, Water Qilin, and Fire Qilin, arrived at the main hall and knelt trembling on the ground.

“Use the corpse puppets skillfully, Nameless Daoist!”

“Investigate! Investigate for me!”

“Who exactly killed my son, the Fire Qilin?”

“I want to refine his soul into the Yin Fire and burn it for tens of thousands of years.”

The void trembled as the voice of the Furious Prime Qilin erupted. In the past, quasi-Saint powerhouses who comprehended the Dao, such as the Fire Qilin who shared a close bloodline, would sense danger immediately when it arose.

At this moment, the calamity of the tribulation has arrived; heavenly secrets are in chaos, and ominous energy is boiling. The three innate tribes are deeply trapped as those who must face the tribulation.

Not to mention sensing anything, even attempting to calculate the outcome is a vain hope. Only through the nearby beast tribe did they learn that Chu Yuan is skilled in controlling corpse puppets.

“By the decree!”

Seeing the Primordial Qilin truly enraged, everyone inside the hall quickly bowed and obeyed the order.

With one command, the beast tribe swiftly mobilized. But in the vast primordial wilds, with billions upon billions of living beings. Just the word “corpse puppet” is like looking for a needle in a sea of sand.

At this moment, the situation in the primordial world is tense and on edge; a slight move can cause a chain reaction. This invisibly exacerbates the friction among the three innate tribes, further accelerating the progress of the tribulation.

…

In the south, at the Undying Volcano, inside the sacred site of the Phoenix tribe, the Wutong Divine Palace. The elegant and majestic Yuan Feng received the news of the Fire Qilin’s demise.

In her exquisitely beautiful phoenix eyes flashed a trace of surprise.

“Oh? The Fire Qilin is dead? It died on the outskirts of Mount Buzhou? Who killed it?”

Yuan Feng spoke calmly, as if unsurprised.

The tribulation is approaching.

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin three tribes vie for supremacy, even the quasi-saints cannot escape. It is not impossible for a Great Dao Golden Immortal to fall as well.

“Reporting to the clan leader, it is rumored that the cause is related to a mysterious Taiyi Golden Immortal. This person’s methods are strange and they possess many powerful corpse puppets…”

The bird clan experts respectfully reported the scattered information they had gathered.

“Taiyi Golden Immortal? Corpse puppets?”

Yuan Feng frowned slightly, then shook his head.

“Enough, the internal affairs of the Qilin clan are none of our Phoenix clan’s concern. The urgent matter now is to find Ling’er’s whereabouts!”

Compared to the losses of the Qilin clan, Yuan Feng was more worried about his youngest daughter “Feng Ling,” who had secretly slipped out of the Immortal Fire Mountain ten thousand years ago and had been missing ever since.

Dragons are inherently lustful; over countless years, the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon have been numerous, almost countless. There are nine well-known masters among them, known collectively as the Nine Sons of the Dragon.

Though not as great as the Ancestral Dragon, the Prime Qilin also had five outstanding descendants called the Five Virtuous Qilin.

As for Yuan Feng, since his birth, only once about a hundred thousand years ago did the divine spirit of the Phoenix Tree conceive an egg, which took ninety thousand years to hatch.

It was the body of a true Phoenix, perfectly inheriting Yuan Feng’s bloodline, and was the most talented among the Phoenix clan under Yuan Feng. Thus, she was named Feng Ling.

To prevent leaks of this information that might attract assassinations from the other two clans, Yuan Feng personally took action to conceal Feng Ling’s bloodline. Even among the bird clan, only a very few experts knew this secret.

“Issue orders immediately: secretly increase the search efforts! Report back at once if there is any clue!”

Yuan Feng commanded, his tone carrying a faint, barely noticeable worry.

“Understood, subordinate obeys!”

East Sea, Crystal Palace.

The core power base of the Dragon Clan. The Ancestor Dragon was still in seclusion, intending to break through again before the great battle arrived.

The daily affairs of the Dragon Clan were basically managed by his younger brother, Zhu Long, whose strength had reached the late stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal.

“Hahaha!”

“This is hilarious! That stupid Fire Qilin who only knows how to play with fire, actually died?”

“And died at the hands of an unknown Taiyi Golden Immortal? What a disgrace to their Qilin clan!”

Upon hearing the news of the Fire Qilin’s demise, Zhu Long’s huge dragon eyes were full of schadenfreude and disdain.

“The Qilin clan has really had bad luck lately. First the Cloud Qilin, now the Fire Qilin, tsk tsk tsk…”

Zhu Long was pleased to see the Qilin clan’s losses. The weakening of the Qilin clan was only beneficial to the Dragon Clan’s dominance over the Primordial Chaos.

As for the so-called killer, just a Taiyi Golden Immortal — what kind of storm could he possibly stir up?

Not worth his attention at all.
