Chapter 80: Chapter 80 No Youth Fountain

Although Jin Qiongyu was as well-known as Huo Yan, because of her background, most members of the Emperor Clan did not take her seriously, especially this maid.

Several arrogant members of the Emperor Clan naturally wanted to give her a hard time, but they did not expect to cause such a disaster.

The maid indeed had urgent matters, which was why she had come to report to the Clan Leader.

Based on the time she arrived, it was about ten minutes ago. At that time, Chen Pingping was still in the ancestral land. He had not yet left, and the battle had not ended. If the Clan Leader had received the message, he would have been able to rush there immediately. Unfortunately, it was too late.

After receiving the news, the high-ranking members of the Emperor Clan couldn’t help but feel alarmed. A Human Clan cultivator dared to barge into the Emperor Clan so brazenly? Was he not afraid of death? More importantly, he took the Ancient Bloodstone and the Earth Fire and still left the Emperor Clan with composure.

The Clan Leader hurried over. Seeing the traces of battle on the ground and then Huo Yan, who had fainted, he suppressed his anger and said, "Speak!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. What were they to say? They dared not say anything. Should they tell the Clan Leader that it was due to Huo Yan’s mistaken decisions and underestimating the enemy that they had lost two precious treasures? Or should they tell the Clan Leader that their arrogance had led them to ignore Jin Qiongyu’s advice, resulting in this situation?

A hundred powerful warriors trembled with fear, their eyes cast down, saying nothing. The high-ranking warriors who had rushed over were also breathless. One middle-aged man, in particular, was responsible for the clan’s security. He had even arranged for the few clan members guarding the Clan Leader’s seclusion.

"Ancestor!" Soon, someone noticed the coffin not far away and exclaimed.

The Clan Leader strode over, casually lifted the coffin lid, and stepped into Fairy Lake. The ancestor was still in seclusion, requiring the essence blood power of the Ancient Bloodstone, which had now been taken. Although the ancestor had not yet awakened, he was disturbed nonetheless. It was believed that the ancestor would awaken before long.

The Clan Leader walked out of Fairy Lake with a stern face. "Wake him up and bring him to my residence. And also... call Xiao Yu here."

「 」

The escaped Eight Treasures Chicken wore a worried expression. "Big Brother won’t be in trouble, right?"

The Earth Chicken said nothing but looked decidedly more resolute as it followed Chen Pingping.

"That was too scary earlier! I didn’t expect that girl to actually be Jin Qiongyu." The Eight Treasures Chicken spat blood. "But by the way, Big Brother, didn’t you find the Youth Fountain?"

The Earth Chicken shook its head.

"Huh?" The Eight Treasures Chicken frowned. "That’s not right! The Youth Fountain should be beneath Fairy Lake. How could it be gone?"

They waited for quite some time. Chen Pingping’s figure finally came into their view, and the two chickens broke into smiles.

He said, "Let’s leave this place first."

This time, he had invaded the ancestral land of the Emperor Clan and had taken away their two precious treasures, the Ancient Bloodstone and the Earth Fire. The Emperor Clan would undoubtedly be furious. They would probably dispatch powerful warriors to pursue them soon, so lingering was not wise. The two chickens thoroughly agreed.

An hour later, Jin Qiongyu caught up but found no trace of Chen Pingping having lingered. However, she had a feeling that Chen Pingping had gone in this direction.

"Are you truly the great calamity of our clan?" Jin Qiongyu whispered. "If so, what should I do?"

Their enmity was established, and the Emperor Clan would not let Chen Pingping go. In such a situation, it would be difficult for her to quell this hatred. Unless Chen Pingping returned the two treasures. But was that possible? Huo Yan was the Fire Tribe’s greatest talent and hope. His presence meant a lot, but he was severely injured by Chen Pingping. He must have a grievance in his heart, and that grievance was the hardest to let go of.

The maid caught up. "Miss, the Clan Leader asked for you."

Jin Qiongyu let out a light sigh, shook her head, and said nothing. After all, it was too late.

When she returned to the clan, many eyes fell on her. Based on the information provided by many clan members—that is, from within the hundred powerful warriors—Jin Qiongyu was acquainted with this member of the Human Clan and had even traveled with him for some time. This was why Huo Yan had been so furious and lost some of his judgment. But then again, causing such a situation wasn’t Jin Qiongyu’s fault, because she had warned Huo Yan and also dispatched her maid to search for the Clan Leader. It was to no avail, and time had also passed. Nevertheless, Jin Qiongyu knew that upon her return this time, she would inevitably become the target of public criticism and could not avoid attacks from others.

After merging with the second Ancient Bloodstone, Earth Chicken’s bloodline had been greatly enhanced, and its feathers grew wildly. The only odd thing, however, was their messy coloration.

Chen Pingping stared at it and couldn’t help saying, "Is there even such a thing as a mixed-breed series in the Ancient Phoenix lineage?"

The Earth Chicken was baffled. ???

Seeing its murderous look, Chen Pingping quickly walked away, gazing into the distance. He said, "Ah! How brilliantly blue the sky is."

System Prompt: Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix’s bloodline has been enhanced by 15%. First stage. Reward: fifty years of cultivation and a set of the Ancient Tyrant Sword Skill.

What the...? That’s intense? Chen Pingping’s eyes brightened. The frustrating mood of having offended the Emperor Clan for a mere Ancient Bloodstone vanished without a trace.

Good sword skill! From the name alone, one could tell it must be a powerful technique; otherwise, they would not use the word ’Ancient.’ The only pity was... I don’t practice sword skills.

Looking at Earth Chicken again, besides the change in its feathers, its physique had grown significantly larger, and its eyes had become especially bewitching. Oh, the divine charm! Brilliant and spirited, at first glance, it really held the aura of the Ancient Phoenix. Not bad, not bad.

Chen Pingping gave a slight smile. "Alright, alright, it’s time to set off."

"Where to?" the Eight Treasures Chicken couldn’t help but ask.

"To the Boundary Monument!" He blinked. "Aren’t you excited? Aren’t you thrilled? Do you feel like you’re about to encounter a Great Opportunity?"

The latter looked terrified.

Earth Chicken glanced behind. Although it had acquired the second Ancient Bloodstone, it still had an unfulfilled wish. The Power of Curse lingered, preventing it from speaking. It needed to slay that person. But it was even clearer that returning to the Emperor Clan now would undoubtedly lead to a dead end.

"I suddenly remembered I have matters to attend to, so... um, Big Brother, what are you doing? Stop that! I don’t want to go there!" the Eight Treasures Chicken cried out in panic, pale as a ghost.

Trying to leave? Is it possible? After he conned me so much before, he wants to leave now? Heh! With an undiminished smile, Chen Pingping walked forward, carrying the Eight Treasures Chicken.

「Half a month later, in an ancient town outside the Boundary Monument area.」

Quite a number of people had gathered there. Most were young talents from the Emperor Clan, and also those from royal families. However, they were no longer as arrogant and overbearing. Perhaps because it wasn’t their home ground, or perhaps out of fear for the terrifying existence deep within the Boundary Monument.

「At nightfall.」

Dozens of figures streaked across the sky.

"The Clan Leader commands, we must slay Chen Pingping before he steps into the Boundary Monument area and retrieve the two treasures." The voice of the order echoed in their ears, lingering persistently.

Their figures soon vanished into the night.

「At that moment, on a high mountain.」

The maid had a complicated look as she said, "Miss, the high echelons of the Fire Tribe will not give up."

"I know!" Jin Qiongyu responded, her long dress fluttering, her hair flying. Her serene gaze remained fixed on the distance, far ahead...

That day, she became the target, the object of everyone’s attacks. The ordeal lasted for four hours, with no one willing to speak up for her. From that moment on, her heart had died. Even Huo Yan was silent.

That’s right. In this world, no genius would admit their mistakes, and Huo Yan was no exception.
