Chapter 129: Chapter 107: Subduing the Fire Qilin, Yunyang Prefecture’s Martial Arts Army

The Ancient Era.

The world had just burst forth from Chaos.

Along with it, the Three Thousand Ancient Demon Gods were born from the Chaos.

The three thousand Demon Gods represented three thousand Laws. From the moment of their birth, they were at odds with one another, beginning a cycle of mutual slaughter and Devouring.

The Origin of the defeated’s Law was devoured, and their powerful Demon God Bodies shattered in turn.

The fragments of these Demon God Bodies scattered into the depths of Chaos and gradually developed their own consciousness.

They were the first creatures of flesh and blood born from the Chaos—the Ancient Demons and Fiends.

This was the origin of the Demon Fiend Race.

When Lu Changfeng saw the creature before him—over ten meters long, seven or eight meters tall, and wreathed in flames—the tales from ancient texts describing the origin of the Demon Fiend Race flashed through his mind.

’It’s hard to imagine that such terrifying beings were commonplace during the Ancient Era.’

And yet, the Human Race had managed to survive in the cracks between these creatures, eventually becoming the Dominators of the world.

In the deepest part of the cave.

Within a massive cavern tens of meters high.

Below was a natural pool of magma.

In the center of the magma pool, an Ancient Fire Qilin, crimson all over, opened its blood-red eyes—each the size of a normal person’s head—and fixed its gaze firmly on Lu Changfeng.

"Tsk, tsk, it’s really a demon."

"To think the Demon Race still exists in this day and age."

"Why isn’t it attacking us?"

"The reason probably lies with the Saint Master!"

Xuansha and the other two conversed in low voices.

Lu Changfeng climbed down from Xuansha’s back.

He slowly approached the edge of the magma pool.

He could see a hint of pleading in the Qilin’s eyes.

This natural magma pool was connected to an underground volcano and was also a convergence point for Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.

For the Fire Qilin, this was a natural treasure trove, a place that could protect it and prevent its Demon Power from rapidly declining.

Unfortunately, as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy in the world faded, this treasured land gradually lost its effectiveness.

This Ancient Fire Qilin’s strength had already weakened considerably.

Its senses were extremely sharp when it came to Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, which was why it had sensed Lu Changfeng’s presence.

It had revealed itself from the magma pool and was now looking at Lu Changfeng, its eyes filled with longing.

"Can you understand me?"

"It’s too hot here. I can’t stay for long."

"You’re so huge and you’re on fire. I can’t take you with me," Lu Changfeng said softly, seeing the Ancient Qilin’s predicament.

Behind him, Xuansha and the other two stood on high alert, ready to grab Lu Changfeng and flee at the first sign of trouble.

The Ancient Fire Qilin seemed to have understood Lu Changfeng’s words.

With a low roar, the Fire Qilin’s body began to shrink rapidly.

Under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze, it transformed into a miniature Qilin the size of a common ginger cat, its fur a fiery red, and shot toward Lu Changfeng.

"Careful!" Xuansha moved to strike but was stopped by Lu Changfeng.

The miniature Fire Qilin landed gently on Lu Changfeng’s shoulder, squatted down, and closed its eyes with a look of contentment.

Xuansha and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was Fanyun Demon Monarch who cupped his fists and spoke first. "The Saint Master’s might is truly awe-inspiring! Even a thousand-year Fire Qilin bows its head upon meeting you!"

"Congratulations, Saint Master, on having a Qilin acknowledge you as its master!" Xuansha and Bai Touweng also cupped their fists in congratulation.

"Alright, that’s enough brown-nosing. Let’s go."

Lu Changfeng plucked the miniature Fire Qilin from his shoulder and held it in his arms.

He ruffled the Qilin’s fur. ’Feels pretty good.’

For the Fire Qilin, meeting Lu Changfeng was like a parched man finding an oasis. The Demon Race, just like the Human Race, needed to convert Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy into Demon Power.

By staying near Lu Changfeng, the Fire Qilin could finally avoid the fate of devolution.

Lu Changfeng and his three companions walked out of the cave.

Outside, Lin Jin stared in amazement at the miniature Qilin in Lu Changfeng’s arms. "Saint Master, what is that?"

Lu Changfeng laughed. "This is the master of the forbidden area. Go and announce that the restriction on the back mountain is now lifted."

Lin Jin was shocked. "This little thing is the master of the forbidden area?"

His words carried a tone of contempt for the Qilin.

The Qilin in Lu Changfeng’s arms suddenly snapped its eyes open, and a terrifying pressure bore down on Lin Jin.

Lin Jin was instantly frozen in place, unable to move. The miniature Qilin felt like the most terrifying Ancient Fierce Beast, capable of taking his life at any moment.

"That’s enough," Lu Changfeng said, gently patting the Qilin’s head.

The Qilin knew full well that Lu Changfeng was its only hope for survival in this era, so it was naturally obedient and docilely closed its eyes.

Only then was Lin Jin able to move again, gasping for breath.

...

Lu Changfeng had subdued two experts of the Rebirth Realm and an Ancient Fire Qilin.

Under his leadership, the power of the Saint Demon Sect was growing stronger by the day.

Meanwhile, in Celestial Cloud City, the capital of Yunyang Prefecture...

The Mansion Master of Yunyang Prefecture, Yinn Zhong, paced back and forth in his study, a worried expression on his face.

"Is there any word from His Majesty?"

Yinn Zhong looked at the young man by his side. It was his eldest son, Yinn De, a man of both talent and integrity, and also his most capable aide.

Yinn De shook his head. "His Majesty is likely still busy with the formation of the Four-Color Dragon Army. There’s been no reply."

Yinn Zhong sat down, his face etched with worry. To have become a high-ranking official governing a territory for the Song Country, Yinn Zhong’s own strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

He was a genuine Bone Refining Realm Fifth Layer Martial Grandmaster, and his Saber Technique had reached the state of Mastery.

He had been a Martial Scholar during the previous Emperor’s reign, coming just shy of being granted Celestial and Earthly Treasures that would have allowed him to advance to the Rebirth Realm.

"Why would the Saint Demon Sect attack the Moon Concealing Sect?"

"Is the Saint Demon Sect Master only targeting the Moon Concealing Sect, or does he intend to stir up trouble in Yunyang Prefecture?"

"If it’s the latter, I’m afraid Yunyang Prefecture is about to be plunged into chaos and suffering."
