Chapter 6060: Bad News
“Bring me to him,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said.
“I’ll take you to him tomorrow. He reserves half of his time each day for Long Xue,” Chu Feng replied.
“What’s wrong with him? Our Totem Dragon Clan is in a precarious state, and he still wants to squander his time on a woman?!”
Many of the elders were infuriated to hear that.
“Everyone has their pursuit in life. To him, Long Xue is simply more important than the Totem Dragon Clan,” Chu Feng replied.
“We’ll talk tomorrow,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said.
Chu Feng stayed on the flying wars.h.i.+p instead of returning to look for Long Lin.
He returned to his room, dragged out Jia Lingyi, and tried several methods to treat her. However, she was in such a terrible mental state that his formations failed to ease her condition.
The following morning, Long Lin arrived as promised.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief didn’t make things difficult for him.
“I see young friend Chu Feng’s words carry weight. You’re willing to trust me now,” Long Lin remarked with a smile.
“I can put the past aside if what you said is true, but if this turns out to be a scheme, I won’t hesitate to kill you,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said with the token in hand.
Long Lin chuckled. He rose into the air and led Chu Feng, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief, and the others into the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land. They dove into the depths of the land.
For the first time, Chu Feng saw the true ancestral dragon’s remains.
The ancestral dragon was so humongous that it amazed w.a.n.g Qiang, Bai Yunqing, and even Chu Feng. It covered everything within sight even though they were still a far distance away. It was long enough to pierce through the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
The ancestral dragon’s carca.s.s was mostly bones by this point. There were only a few rare spots that still had scales.
“It’s m-m-my first time seeing something so huge! Is it a t-t-true dragon?” w.a.n.g Qiang’s eyes widened in shock.
“I bet it could destroy multiple realms in a single breath if it was alive.” Bai Yunqing was shaken up too.
“It’s just a true dragon. You people sound like a bunch of b.u.mpkins!” a voice suddenly echoed.
It was the Heaven-devouring Qilin. It had transformed back into its true self.
“H-h-huh? Where did this pig come from?” w.a.n.g Qiang asked.
“You are a pig! Your family is pigs! Are you blind, you stutterer?! How do I look like a pig? Do you want me to bite off your tongue?” the Heaven-devouring Qilin snarled at w.a.n.g Qiang.
But w.a.n.g Qiang wasn’t afraid of anything. He grabbed the Heaven-devouring Qilin by its head and asked, “Brother, i-i-is this the pet you’re raising? Why is it so ugly?”
“Audacious! Let go of me right now, you stutterer!” The Heaven-devouring Qilin angrily struggled, but it was to no avail.
“Show some respect. What if it is a qilin?” Chu Feng took the Heaven-devouring Qilin from w.a.n.g Qiang’s hands.
“T-t-this thing? I would rather b-b-believe I’m a woman than that it’s a q-q-qilin!”
“I’d rather believe it is a qilin. At least it isn’t that repulsive,” Chu Feng replied.
“d.a.m.n!” w.a.n.g Qiang rolled his eyes.
Chu Feng turned to the Heaven-devouring Qilin and asked, “Was the ancestral dragon a true dragon, a legendary G.o.d beast?”
“That’s right, Little Feng. There’s no need to kick up a fuss over a mere G.o.d beast.”
The Heaven-devouring Qilin looked arrogant on the surface, but it secretly sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, saying, “Little Feng, we struck it rich! It’s a G.o.d beast! Do you feel it? It’s just a carca.s.s now, but the pressure it emanates is still tremendous! There must be more good stuff inside it. Find a way to get them out, and I’ll a.s.similate them for you!”
Chu Feng paid it no heed.
The crowd surveyed the surroundings, and they noticed that Long Lin had modified the formation here to deal with any a.s.sailants. This further convinced the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief of Long Lin’s credibility, and he decided to work with the latter.
The mastermind behind the Totem Dragon Clan’s unrest was the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. They were the ones who convinced the Totem Dragon Clansmen and subordinate powers to betray the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.
Long Lin was just a puppet. Even if not for him, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect would have just propped someone else up.
It was not to say that Long Lin was guilt-free, but it should also be taken into consideration that the latter didn’t harm them. Had anyone else been in Long Lin’s place, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the others would have been dead by now.
From this perspective, Long Lin was not irredeemable.
Since both of them had the Totem Dragon Clan’s welfare in mind, they could work together.
Chu Feng noticed that the formation constructed out of the ancestral dragon’s remains was intended to stave off outsiders, just that it had been modified into a slaughter formation. With its prowess, it could easily deal with True G.o.ds, but it fell short of matching Heavenly G.o.ds.
“Pardon my frankness, but I don’t think that this formation can deal a fatal blow to a Heavenly G.o.d even if the two of you simultaneously channel it. There’ll be a lot of trouble if the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster escapes.”
This matter had huge consequences, so Chu Feng didn’t hesitate to reveal his findings.
“Chu Feng, do you have a way to enhance this formation?” Long Chengyu asked.
No matter what, they had to preserve the ancestral dragon’s remains. Even at the cost of their lives, they couldn’t let it fall into the hands of an outsider.
“This formation is constructed based on the bloodline power left behind by the ancestral dragon. I’m afraid that I’m unable to interfere with it.” Chu Feng shook his head.
“We have no choice but to fight if the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster comes. Even if we fail to kill him here, we should at least deal him severe damage,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said.
He knew that Chu Feng was right, but retreat wasn’t an option here.
“Rest a.s.sured. With your help, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster will die if he dares to to come,” Long Lin said with confidence. He turned to Chu Feng and said, “Young friend Chu Feng, if there’s nothing you can help with, why don’t you accompany Xue’er on my behalf and stabilize her condition?”
The Heaven-devouring Qilin anxiously sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, saying, “Don’t go! Stay here and keep a lookout instead. Who knows? You might just find a chance to dig out some dragon essence!”
Chu Feng ignored the Heaven-devouring Qilin. “All right, I’ll go visit Elder Long Xue.”
“I-I-I’ll go too!” w.a.n.g Qiang said.
“Let’s go together.” Chu Feng and w.a.n.g Qiang made their way to where Long Xue dwelled.
The two of them arrived at the courtyard, but Long Xue wasn’t around.
“Something is off.” Chu Feng sent a voice transmission to w.a.n.g Qiang.
“W-w-what’s wrong? Did you notice something?” w.a.n.g Qiang discreetly replied.
“Elder Long Xue should be here at this time.”
“Could she have gone s-s-somewhere else? It’d be boring to s-s-stay in the room all day long,” w.a.n.g Qiang said.
Chu Feng had a bad feeling, but there was no basis for that.
So, he quickly constructed a formation and hid it in the courtyard.
“Young friend Chu Feng, why are you hiding?” an old voice suddenly boomed from above.
A three-meter-tall old man with a ten-meter-long white beard was floating in mid-air. He was dressed in a white robe that made him look like a deity in the mortal world.
However, Chu Feng knew right away that things had gone awry, for this man was the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.
