Chapter 91: Regaining the Qilin

  `p`jjwxc`p``p`jjwxc`p`

  She saw Xi Yue dance and leave with a flick of her sleeve. Feng Li hurriedly chased after her. But before she could catch up to Ruoyun Peak, she was intercepted by several disciples wearing the uniform of the inner sect, with white patterns embroidered on their sleeves, from the Executive Hall.

  Only the leader, a tall and handsome young monk, spoke in a stern tone, "By order of Elder Yuanheng of the Executive Dharma Hall, you are to report there immediately for judgment!"

  "Over the hall"?

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi coldly smiled to herself, her mind already clear about the situation. She was afraid that the news of Mo Junya's personal disciple being injured had already reached Yuanheng Elder's ears.

  300 years ago, Yuan Heng's only son Jiang Junyi died at the hands of her and Xie Wu Yu, although they were demon-hunting Daoists, but with Yuan Heng's narrow-minded personality, he must have held a grudge in his heart. Now that she has fallen into his hands, I'm afraid he will take revenge!

  Thinking of this, Fengri Xi's pink lips curved up slightly once again.

  Even if Yuan Heng, the little old man, hated her to death and wished she would die immediately, he couldn't do anything about it. As long as Lin Xu Yu was the leader of the Ling Xiao Sect for one more day, he had no way to deal with her for that one day.

  He twitched his lip corners, and in the wind, he faintly furrowed his slender eyebrows, then followed those attendants to the peak of the Execution Ground.

  "Yuán Héng Elder, if Yun Feng brings the Nine Spirit Bands!" The leading male cultivator came to the Executive Hall's grand hall and respectfully bowed to a middle-aged man sitting high on the upper seat.

  "Hmm! You all go down first!" The elderly Yuan Heng, seated in the main seat, said lightly with a nod.

  It is proper; the attendants and disciples withdraw in order.

  After a long while, Yuan Heng, the elder, slowly spoke up, "Shan Jiu Ling, do you know why I called you to the Execution Hall?"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi fell silent. She merely raised her head slightly and scanned the surroundings in a circle, and indeed, on Yuanheng's left lower side, two familiar figures were sitting upright.

  One was naturally Mo Junya, and the other was a female cultivator whose arm had been broken by Feng Lixue.

  At this time, the face of the female cultivator whose arm was twisted off was still pale, but her arm had long since been restored to its original position. It's likely that someone had already helped her treat her injuries.

  Yuan Heng, the elder, raised an eyebrow and, without any courtesy, directed a wave of pressure belonging to Yuan Ying, the cultivator, towards Feng Ri Xi. "Shan Jiu Ling, you disregard the sect's rules, openly provoke and cause trouble, bully your fellow disciples, what crime should you be punished for?!"

  Yuan Heng's eyes saw the little old man mercilessly 'blackening' her, but Feng Li didn't think so and remained calm and composed. "Elder Yuan Heng, isn't what you said a bit too arbitrary?"

  With her current cultivation level, she can still cope with the pressure of a Yuan Ying stage cultivator.

  Seeing the wind, Xi Yi's expression was still pale and calm, without any sign of being oppressed or pained. Yuan Heng Lao's tone changed, "You broke Mo Yun Shang's arm in front of everyone, this is something that everyone has witnessed. As fellow disciples, private fights are not allowed, don't you dare to deny it?!"

  Another one with the surname 'Mo'? Looking at Mo Yunxiang's face, which was 30% similar to Mo Junya's, Feng Lixi confirmed that this Mo Yunxiang was probably another descendant of Mo Junya in the mortal world.

  "Yes! Her arm was indeed broken by me! Who let her 'steal' my Millennium Snow Chrysanthemum, I just punished her slightly!" Upon hearing this, Feng Ri Xi coldly smiled and continued, "She is Mo Jun Ya's disciple, if we talk about seniority, as her master uncle, teaching a wronged junior is reasonable. What does it have to do with same school private fighting?!"

  Upon hearing this, Mo Yunxiang finally couldn't hold it in and immediately shot back with a bad look on her face, "You! When did I ever steal your things? That Thousand Year Snow Chrysanthemum was clearly given to me by my spiritual pet!"

  "That thousand-year-old Snow Orchid has my spiritual energy on it, which I gave to the Qilin beast 300 years ago. This thousand-year-old Snow Orchid may be just a rare and precious treasure for you, but for the Qilin beast, it is a necessary item for its successful tribulation. I don't think the Qilin beast would be foolish enough to give away something that could save its life. Besides, are you sure you have formed an alliance with the Qilin beast? If there's no alliance, then what's the point of talking about offering sacrifices to the Snow Orchid?" Feng Li Xi Qing said lightly.

  She was so certain only because she had already obtained the relevant information from Qian Nian Xue. For these 300 years, as she had expected, Mo Junya did not cherish the Qilin beast well and did not make a pact with it, but instead passed it on to Mo Yunxiang. Mo Yunxiang had his own spiritual beast and would not treat the Qilin beast kindly. For the Qilin beast, carrying the infamy of being abandoned by its master and not being favored by its new master, these 300 years were indeed too bleak.

  That thousand-year-old Snow Chrysanthemum was exactly what Mo Yunxiang had unintentionally snatched from the Qilin beast during her rapid tribulation. Disregarding others' lives, robbing others of their possessions - such behavior was considered shameful in Fengli Xi's eyes. Although the Qilin beast had abandoned her initially and pledged allegiance to a new master, it was also due to circumstances beyond its control, and couldn't be blamed. In any case, it was the precious spiritual beast left behind by Lin Fengjie, Shan Jiu Ling's mother, and for that maternal love, she would have to fight for justice on behalf of the Qilin beast.

  "You......" Mo Yun Shang was momentarily speechless, her guilty conscience leaving her unsure of how to respond.

  "What's wrong with you?! You should be calling me 'Shu Shu'! Hasn't Mo Junya ever taught you to respect your elders?!" Feng Li Xi glanced at the silent Mo Junya, then carelessly swept her gaze over the closed doors of the Execution Hall, continuing in an unruffled tone, "Oh, that's not right either! If we're really talking about seniority, Mo Junya is my husband - Wu Yun Tian's junior brother, and as her disciple, you should be calling me 'Shu Shu', but even more so, you should be respectfully addressing me as 'Ancestral Master'!"

  At this moment, everyone in the scene changed their faces. Mo Junya's beautiful and dusty face was even more twisted, making people speechless. For Mo Junya now, the fact that Fengli Xi and Xie Wu became dao companions was like a thorn stuck in her throat, unable to swallow or spit out, driving her mad.

  "Ah! You, this despicable woman who colludes with the demonic, what makes you worthy of me calling you 'Master Ancestor'?! Seeing that her own master's face didn't look good, Mo Yunxiang immediately jumped up again. "I've long heard that you're in cahoots with the demonic cultivators. How dare you still consider that demonic man Qiao Mingying a good person? Don't you know he was born lowly and is originally the exclusive concubine of the Chen Nan Kingdom's imperial family, relying on his looks to flit about among the members of the royal family... it's simply scandalous! You and Qiao Mingying are well-suited as a pair of 'adulterers'! You this despicable..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Moyun's face suddenly stiffened and she spat out a large mouthful of blood, falling silent.

  Just as everyone was facing this sudden scene and had not reacted yet, the originally closed gate of the Executive Hall was opened with a "bang" sound. A purple-robed, cold-faced Xi Yue Wu walked in from outside with an icy chill.

  It was as if the spiritual energy surrounding Xi Yue had almost condensed into frost and snow, and the temperature in the Execution Hall had suddenly dropped sharply.

  Facing the sudden arrival of Xi Yu Wu Yun, Feng Li Xi slightly raised the corner of her lips, without feeling any surprise. Due to the marriage contract binding her, she had long been aware that Xi Yu Wu Yun had been stationed outside the Executive Hall, observing every move inside.

  Because she knew that Xi Yue Wu Yu was outside the palace, she deliberately said those words to provoke the other party. She just wanted to borrow Xi Yue Wu Yu's hands to 'punish' Mo Junya and Mo Yunxiang. Mo Junya's city is too deep, maybe facing her deliberate provocation will not be moved, but Mo Yunxiang is really too tender, wanting to provoke her and make her make mistakes is simply easy as turning over one's hand.

  As for what Mo Yunxiang said about Qiao Mingying's past, Feng Lixi had already known it long ago. So it didn't bring her much trouble. No matter how unbearable Qiao Mingying's previous identity was, he is still the person in her heart, and this point will never change.

  He stood still, his figure straight as a pen, with an inexpressible anger between his eyebrows. He coldly stared at Mo Yunxiang, "If you utter another word of nonsense, I will kick you out of Ruoyun Peak!"

  Seeing her master get angry, Mo Junya immediately changed her expression and stepped forward to say warmly, "Master, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not teaching well, which led to Yun Shang speaking without reserve!"

  She glanced at Mo Junya with a faint smile, neither affirming nor denying.

  After a moment of silence, he said calmly and expressionlessly, "Yuan Heng..."

  Yuan Heng nodded slightly and asked cautiously, "Dance Yun Zhen... I don't know what's going on..."

  After a moment of contemplation, Xi Yue finally said, "Let the Qilin beast come and confront us! The truth will naturally be revealed!"

  Xu Yue was speaking to Yuan Heng, but her eyes were gazing at Feng Ri Xi who had his head down, unable to discern his expression.

  Upon hearing this, Elder Yuanheng's eyes flashed, "Dance Yun True Person is right! Come on, quickly pass on the Qilin beast!"

  Before long, the Qilin beast followed the executive disciple to arrive. As soon as he faced the Qilin beast, Feng Ri Xi's eyes were filled with astonishment. Although he had already made mental preparations, when he really saw the Qilin beast, Feng Ri Xi couldn't help but be shocked.

  The once majestic and awe-inspiring ancient divine beast no longer exists. In its place is a weak and feeble creature that cannot withstand the wind, with dull fur color and an aura of death surrounding its entire body.

  Calculating the days, Qilin beast should have arrived at the day of crossing the tribulation. If it wasn't for her snatching the thousand-year-old snow zhī from Mo Yun's sleeves, I'm afraid Qilin beast would soon die from failing to advance and cross the tribulation.

  Yuán Héng elderly repeated the words of confrontation between Fēng Lǐ Xī and Mò Yún Shang to Qí Lín beast, when asked who was telling the truth, Qí Lín beast stood on Fēng Lǐ Xī's side without hesitation.

  Upon hearing the Qilin beast's answer, both Yuan Heng and Mo Junya's faces sank in succession.

  Fengri Xi's words were proven true, so there was no need to continue the interrogation. But Yuanheng Elder seemed unwilling to give up and was about to say something when he was cut off by Xieyu Wuyu, "The matter is clear, no need to ask again!"

  Immediately, Xi Yue Wenyin shook her cloud sleeve, and her sharp gaze shot straight at Mo Junya, "Mo Junya, you have no way to teach your disciples, go back to Ruoyun Peak with Mo Yunxiang to receive punishment!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the crowd to respond, and Xi Yue Wuyu deeply gazed at Feng Li Xi for a moment before turning around and leaving with a swish of his sleeve...

  Completely intimidated by the pressure of Xi Yue's dance, Mo Junya and Mo Yunxiang, although unwilling in their hearts, had no choice but to respond immediately, "Yes! Master!"

  "Yes! Master!"

  After Mo Junya and Mo Yunshang both withdrew from the Executive Hall, Feng Lixi finally walked in front of Qilin Beast and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Qilin Beast, now that things have come to this, do you regret your original choice?"

  Upon hearing this, the Qilin beast's already thin body swayed involuntarily before finally stabilizing its form. It slowly opened its mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Even if I regret it now, it's already too late!"

  It's all because it had eyes but no insight at first and mistakenly believed in Mo Junya that white lotus flower.

  After a moment of silence, Fengri spoke again, "If you were given another chance to choose, would you still abandon me and leave?"

  Qilin beast cut off iron nails and said, "Won't!"

  "Alright! I'll give you another chance!" Feng Ri Xi nodded slightly and asked again, "Qilin Beast, are you certain you want to become my beast pet once more?!"

  "Yes!" He nodded very affirmatively, the Qilin beast looked at Feng Ri Xi's stunning face with a guilty expression, "But, Ling'er, I've wronged you! And have no face to ask for your forgiveness again!"

  "It's not entirely your fault at first!" He shook his head and said calmly in the wind, "However, I can tolerate you betraying me once, but I will never tolerate another betrayal!"

  "Ling'er......" couldn't have imagined that things would take such a turn, Qilin beast was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

  "Once you become my beast pet, you will never be allowed to betray me for the rest of your life! Even if I die and disappear, you are not allowed to betray me! You'd better think carefully, as there will be no chance for regret afterwards!" A shocking and awe-inspiring killing aura suddenly appeared in Feng Ri Xi's clear eyes, along with an air of loneliness. She was just a cultivator who had only recently formed her Golden Elixir, yet she possessed such overwhelming power. This caused the present Yuan Heng elder to involuntarily feel a chill in his heart.

  "I will never regret it!" Upon hearing this, the Qilin beast swept away its previous gloom, and a hint of brightness finally appeared in its dark eyes.

  "Alright! Take the Thousand Year Snow Chrysanthemum and go into seclusion to advance!" With a nod, Feng Ri Xi immediately put the Thousand Year Snow Chrysanthemum he had snatched from Mo Yun Xiang into the Qilin beast's embrace, saying slowly, "Wait for you to successfully advance, we will form an alliance!"

  After finishing speaking, Feng Li Xi turned around and left.

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yunbo =====================================

  Hurriedly walking out of the execution hall, Fengli Xi was not beyond expectations and once again lost track of Xie Yu.

  Having calmed down her emotions, she returned to Siming Tai in a distracted manner, only to find Yun Shu wearing a green robe, carrying a long sword on his back, standing proudly in front of the restricted area of Siming Tai, clearly waiting for someone.

  Fengli Xi started with a sudden jerk, then jumped down from Xiao Bai's back and asked, "Second Brother, long time no see, how did you come here?"

  Turning around, Fengli Xi was sized up from head to toe, and Yun Shu said lightly, "Hurry up! You make some preparations, Master is waiting for us at the mountain gate!"

  Hearing this, Fengli Xi was unclear and asked, "What are we waiting for?"

  Yun Shu nodded and continued to ask, "Does the master of Xuan Yu Peak know that Zhenren unfortunately fell in the 8th degree space?!"

  "I know!" Fengli Xi nodded lightly and said.

  "This matter has come too suddenly, the sect leader Xue Yu Zhen Jun ordered our master and me to go and investigate!" Yun Shu's expression was cold and stern, "You have just formed your golden elixir and need to stabilize your cultivation through trials, so Master wants to take you along!"

  It's clear that Feng Ri Xi has already made up her mind.

  He's worried that she'll go and get involved in another nameless trial or stay in the sect and stir up more trouble, so he had to resort to this tactic.

  She's a nymphomaniac, I'm afraid she won't be able to help herself, and the eighth dimension will have to go too!

  Fortunately, the journey through the 8th degree space route is not too far. If things go smoothly, we might still be able to make it in time for the Nameless Trial.

  After some thought, Fengri Xi could not help but agree to this matter.

  She quickly tidied herself up and then hurried towards the entrance of Ling Xiao Mountain.

  Fengli Xi had just arrived at the mountain gate when he saw two golden and silver lights flashing from the direction of Ruoyun Peak, and after a dazzling flash of light, two figures suddenly appeared in the lights.

  The cloud that walked out of the golden light was still wearing a green robe, while the figure that emerged from the white light was icy and unparalleled, with a gentle gaze, radiant jade-like complexion, and a pure and elegant appearance, which was actually a purple-robed Xi Yue Wu Yu.

  "Master, Second Master!" Feng Li Xi walked up to Yun Shu's side and respectfully called out in a low voice.

  "Hmm!" He nodded slightly, and on his handsome face, there was still a calm and serene expression. "Let's go!"

  Upon hearing this, Yun Shu immediately took out his own life-bound sword and was about to ride it, but unexpectedly -

  He took out a small model of the Youyun Peak's cave mansion from his storage ring, and casually tossed it into the air. In just a few breaths' time, the originally palm-sized cave mansion had expanded to dozens of times its original size.

  It turns out that Xi Yu Wu Yun had always known about her fear of heights, which is why she brought out the small cave dwelling as a flying tool. Thinking of this, Feng Li Xi's heart moved, touched by the warmth that Xi Yu Wu Yun inadvertently revealed.

  She gazed at the massive object in front of her and Yu Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.

  That cave mansion, whether in appearance or style, is exactly the same as the one on Ruoyun Peak. If it weren't for the fact that there was no movement at all on Ruoyun Peak, Yunshu would have thought that his own master had moved the entire Ruoyun Peak over.

  "Go up!" Yu Ruoyan said lightly as she turned around.

  Estimated to be in awe of Xi Yu's dance, Yun Shu didn't dare to delay, immediately recalling the Primordial Sword, and leaped onto the floating cave mansion.

  Before Fengri Xi could react, Xie Yu Weng walked up to her, bent down and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. The next moment, Xie Yu Weng had already jumped onto the moving cave abode, and then gently set her down inside it.

  "Thank you, Master!" Fengli Xi's feet had just touched the ground when she slipped out of Nuwa's arms without a trace and stood respectfully to one side.

  In the face of the cold and distant movements in the wind, the elegant figure of the dancer stands out even more desolately.

  "It's unnecessary!" After a few moments of silence, the cold and icy voice finally sounded again.

  After finishing speaking, Fengri Xi only felt a flash of purple shadow in front of his eyes. When he raised his head, the figure of Xie Yu Wu had already disappeared.

  "Alas! Little sister, you...... alas......" Yun Shu gazed at Feng Ri Xi with a worried face, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

  She didn't notice Yunshu, and Fengli hurriedly chose a cave that was quite similar to her own residence, and then rushed in. Her heat-clearing pills had long been depleted, and if she didn't hurry up and refine another batch, she feared she wouldn't be able to withstand the eighth degree of spatial heat and would perish from heatstroke. She had just parted ways with Xi Wu Xian, also because she was worried that he would detect her body's unusual heat.

  Wiping away the beads of sweat that kept appearing on his forehead, Feng Xi put down dozens of restrictions at the entrance before he finally felt at ease and entered the purple sandalwood secret chamber to refine the heat-clearing pills.

  The time in the Zi Tan Secret Mansion was originally much faster than the real world, and when Feng Li Xi came out of the Zi Tan Secret Mansion again, only two hours had passed in the real world.

  After a simple wash, Feng Li Xian continuously took dozens of heat-clearing pills, and only when his body felt significantly cooler did he remove the seal at the entrance of the cave, and walked out.
