“They slaughtered a Phoenix!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan’s breathing hitched.
After this period of research, although Qin Xuan still didn't know how strong the Taihuang Nine Fiends were, he could already discern some clues.
Without mentioning anything else, just a trace of Kun Peng Essence Blood made Qin Xuan tremble; if it were complete Kun Peng Essence Blood, Qin Xuan would understand how terrifying its power was.
But now he heard that there was a Sect that had slaughtered a Phoenix, one of the Nine Fiends!
This was simply too terrifying!
“Is that Sect still around? Will we be targeted if we go there?”
Qin Xuan asked hesitantly.
After all, a Sect capable of slaying a Phoenix must have an incredibly powerful foundation.
Moreover, the Human Race was not prominent in the Ancient Era, so the strength of such a Sect could be imagined.
“Don’t be too nervous. That Sect could be said to be the backbone of the Human Race in the ancient era, but by the ancient era, it had become a ruin. Of course, no one knows why it became a ruin.”
“Furthermore, strictly speaking, that wasn't a pure-blooded Phoenix; it should have been a descendant with half Phoenix Bloodline.”
Only half Phoenix Bloodline?
And it had already become a ruin, so that wasn't a big problem.
“A ruin is good. Since it’s a ruin, there must be many good things left inside.”
Qin Xuan pondered, but soon Bai Xiaohu, who was beside him, explained.
“Most of the things in this ruin were already taken by many people in the ancient era. After all these years, there isn't much left inside.”
“Then why are we still going there?”
Qin Xuan felt a bit deflated. It had already been targeted in the ancient era, and after a long period of time, others must have entered. Thinking about it, even the wall plaster might have been scraped off inside.
However, Bai Xiaohu shook his head.
“Although many good things there have been taken away, the most precious things are still there and cannot be taken out without certain means.”
“In short, don't worry. Although going there is to find something for me, if you still have an Opportunity, your gains won't be less than mine.”
Bai Xiaohu said.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan pondered for a long time.
It hadn't been too long since he left the Sect, so he thought there shouldn't be any problems on the Sect's side.
Moreover, he was the only one on Lei Yun Peak, so others couldn't say much nonsense to him.
Since he was in charge on Lei Yun Peak, there was no need to worry about anyone daring to be talkative.
Going to Luo Feng Mountain was still timely.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan took a deep breath and nodded.
“Okay, Luo Feng Mountain it is. I also want to see what's there.”
Qin Xuan also wanted to see what remained in such a ruin that had been passed down from the Ancient Era after such a long time.
“However, since we have reached an agreement, shouldn't we introduce ourselves so that it will be convenient for future communication?”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaohu nodded.
“I am from the Baihu Clan. You can call me Tiger King from now on.”
Bai Xiaohu said, raising his head forcefully.
It was clear that he wanted to appear more majestic.
However, this action didn't look majestic at all, as he was too small.
Qin Xuan smiled and pressed him onto his shoulder.
“You, Bai Xiaohu, have quite a temper. From now on, I’ll call you Bai Xiaohu. Stick with me, and I’ll look out for you!”
“Since you have gained sentience, you don’t need to acknowledge me as your master. Just call me Qin Xuan from now on.”
Qin Xuan said, ignoring Bai Xiaohu’s various clawing protests, and insisted on giving him the name Bai Xiaohu.
“Target: Luo Feng Mountain. Let's go!”
His double wings flapped wildly behind him, rushing towards Luo Feng Mountain according to Bai Xiaohu’s instructions.
...
A few days later, a Cloud Boat stopped in mid-air, and Qin Xuan looked down from above.
“This should be near Luo Feng Mountain, as you said.”
The information Bai Xiaohu gave him only had a general location; the specific situation still needed Bai Xiaohu to see for himself.
In these few days, after arriving nearby with the Array Pattern Disk, he used the Cloud Boat to bring himself and Bai Xiaohu to this vicinity.
“Hmm, it should be around here.”
Bai Xiaohu looked around, and after confirming there were no problems, he looked down.
“Then let's go down and see!”
Qin Xuan said, then controlled the Cloud Boat to descend.
However, he slowed down halfway, put away the Cloud Boat, and flew to other nearby mountain peaks using his wings instead.
This was a mountainous area, with clouds and mist swirling around, and people passing by from time to time.
“We can’t be too ostentatious. Let’s walk through the mountains instead.”
Qin Xuan landed on the ground.
The Cloud Boat was too eye-catching, and so were his wings, so it was better not to use them if possible.
There were many people, so it was better to act discreetly for now.
Qin Xuan pondered.
“Just follow me from now on. I know the exact location better.”
Just then, Bai Xiaohu jumped off Qin Xuan's shoulder and ran into the dense forest.
Not long after, Bai Xiaohu emerged from it, riding a Spirit Beast.
“You always make these Spirit Beasts your means of transport.”
Qin Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Although Bai Xiaohu was also a Spirit Beast, his style of doing things was no different from that of a Human.
“Of course, I am the noble Tiger King, so of course I must have my own mount.”
Saying that, Bai Xiaohu directed the Spirit Beast to lead the way.
Qin Xuan also controlled a Spirit Beast from the side and followed.
Bai Xiaohu’s mastery of Beast Taming was even stronger than Qin Xuan’s. This Spirit Beast, which was clearly a fourth-level Spirit Beast, was incredibly docile in front of Bai Xiaohu, showing no signs of resistance whatsoever.
Qin Xuan also stared at this Spirit Beast with great interest.
Following Bai Xiaohu, Qin Xuan entered the depths of the dense forest.
After another few hours of travel, Bai Xiaohu stopped.
“Hmm, it’s around here. Come on, let’s go to the nearby mountains and take a look.”
Saying that, Bai Xiaohu let the Spirit Beast leave and jumped back onto Qin Xuan's shoulder.
Qin Xuan proceeded as instructed, but he hadn't gone far when a Cultivator in an earthy yellow Daoist robe blocked his path.
“Stop right there!”
Stop right there?
Qin Xuan frowned and walked over.
“Your Excellency, why are you stopping us?”
“Don’t you know? This is already the mountain gate of our Qixia Sect. If you’re here to register, go to the main entrance to undergo the Sect assessment.”
Qixia Sect?
Qin Xuan looked at Bai Xiaohu with some surprise, and Bai Xiaohu also looked bewildered.
Luo Feng Mountain was a ruin; when did it become the territory of some Qixia Sect?
However, Qin Xuan knew he couldn't ask directly, so he said 'pardon the disturbance' and left.
Carefully circling around, Bai Xiaohu held his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
“How can this be? How did the magnificent Luo Feng Mountain ruin become the territory of this Qixia Sect?”
The entrance to the ruin on Luo Feng Mountain was located within the Qixia Sect’s Sect!
