Chapter 183: Chapter 97: Qilin, Return to Your Position!_3

At that moment, he could even feel ripples like those made by a stone smashing into water, and within three breaths, Li Guanyi had pinpointed the location of the Qilin Palace. And as he confirmed the position of the Qilin, the entire "Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation" unfolded before his eyes.

It was as if the Formation Eye had been fixed; Li Guanyi’s recent contemplations and learnings in that instant came alive with many epiphanies.

At the same time, the youth had already grasped his arm, and together, they strolled as he commented,

"I never thought you would be an Imperial Relative."

Li Guanyi replied, "I didn’t expect you to be the Khan of the Tiele Tribe either."

The young man laughed.

He habitually reached out to pat the knife at his waist.

But when entering the palace, all weapons had been confiscated.

Even if it was Yuwen Lie, no matter how defiant and arrogant, no matter how much disdain he held for the Emperor of Chen, he had to relinquish his weapon; carrying weapons into the palace had only had one precedent in recent years, that of Prince Puyang.

He could only scratch his waist awkwardly and mumble, "What Khan..."

"My surname is Qibi, my name means power," he said.

"Our Tiele Tribe has dwindled to just a few thousand families, not even equal to the population of a small town in the Central Plains. Even in the Western Regions, we are now too small," he continued, "That’s why we couldn’t endure it anymore and wanted to seek help here."

"It was tough when Tuyuhun was around; we were treated like slaves."

"Now the Dangxiang people are rising too, and we thought, we can’t continue to be slaves to others."

"So everyone pooled some money and declared me Khan to send me here."

Li Guanyi and Qibi Li chatted, looking at the night-shrouded Imperial Palace.

In his heart, the entire Imperial Palace seemed to transform into a vast Formation Diagram; each step he took caused ripples, and these ripples, meeting another node of the formation, would bounce back, so eventually, the formation was completely understood within the youth’s heart.

Standing on a node, he remarked, "The scenery here is really beautiful."

Qibi Li, looking around, although not finding it particularly impressive, wouldn’t speak against his friend’s remark and cheerfully agreed, "It is beautiful!"

The eunuchs and guards settled, watching the two enjoy their conversation and the view.

As these two halted, they were also pleased to rest.

Li Guanyi chatted idly with the Khan of the Tiele Tribe.

His feet finally settled on a mobile node.

His breath then sharply infiltrated through a gap in the top Formation of the Qilin Palace and came into contact with that core entity; a fierce Divine Charm instantly roared furiously, then seemed to recognize at the moment whose presence it was in the formation.

That fury instantly turned to astonishment.

"!!! It’s you?!"

The voice of the Qilin surged within Li Guanyi’s heart. In the wake of its astonishment, it hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here? Have you been captured?!"

"I’m here to rescue you!"

"Don’t be afraid!"

Li Guanyi, lowering his eyes, whispered to himself, "No, I just sneaked in."

"Don’t cause a commotion, or I’ll be exposed."

The fierce spirit of the Qilin then quieted down.

It could sense that the massive formation seemed unable to locate Li Guanyi, whose breath was very sharp; it calmed down and said, "Your coming here..." It had been extremely excited the first time it met Li Guanyi, but now it hesitated, even feeling a bit fearful.

The closer one is to their homeland, the more fearful they feel; such emotional states also appear in Divine Beasts.

Eventually, after a long silence, it only remarked, "What did you say your name was..."

The Tiele Khan also laughed and said, "I haven’t asked what your name was either, brother?"

Li Guanyi responded, "I am Li Guanyi."

The youth smiled,

"One in ten thousand."

The Tiele Khan simply praised, "Such spirit!"

But the essence of the Qilin fluctuated intensely.

A child of an old friend has come.

It seemed to see that heroic youth again.

In a voice filled with sorrow, after a long while, the Qilin decisively said, "Good child..."

"Li Guanyi, do not come here again."

The breath of the Qilin suddenly weakened, and from the Four Symbols Sealing’s Great Formation, a fraction of the Qilin’s essence surged toward Li Guanyi, who felt a warm presence arising within. The Divine Soul of the Qilin settled within him.

This was a gift in its essence.

A gift from the Qilin.

Such a gift would partially dissipate, but the bronze tripod suddenly resounded autonomously.

All of the Divine Charm settled upon the tripod.

Then on the tripod, encircled by the Dragon, Tiger, Phoenix, and Tortoise, a fifth pattern slowly emerged!

Central Qilin!

Returned to its place!
