Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Something is Wrong, Very Wrong! (3/4)

Kirin Main Peak.

The defenses here are not as strict as one would imagine, lacking the oppressive feeling of a guard post every ten steps.

According to the words of the Kirin Clan Leader,

No one from the Demon Beast Continent could breach the outer defenses; if someone managed to reach the main peak, it must be someone within the clan.

Then, if someone within the clan could slay him, that person would be suited to succeed the position of the Kirin Clan Leader.

What kind of confidence does this show?

It also signifies how ruthless the direct lineage of the Kirin Clan is towards themselves.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest,

This iron rule of the cultivation world applies everywhere.

It’s just that the Kirin Clan employs this ruthless law more blatantly.

At this moment,

On a plain at the peak of the main mountain,

There is neither a majestic palace decked in gold and splendor nor the abode resembling that of a reclusive expert, only a stone bed used for seated meditation and towering bookshelves around it, filled with scrolls.

On the stone bed, a tall and burly man with a full face beard sitting cross-legged, naked.

He looks at the two people in front of him with a cold expression.

Qi Wu kneels on one knee, bowing his head and saying, "Father, I have returned."

"I’m not blind," the Kirin Clan Leader says.

Beside Qi Wu, a man dressed in red armor speaks indifferently, "Second brother seems to have brought back a few humans this time? You should know, our Kirin Clan doesn’t hold the human experts in high regard."

Qi Wu is not surprised.

Qi Chuan’s eyes and ears are spread across these peaks.

Probably as soon as they entered the territory of the Kirin Clan, someone had delivered the information to Qi Chuan.

The Kirin Clan Leader also looks at Qi Wu, showing displeasure, but doesn’t say anything.

Before returning, Qi Wu already knew that Qi Chuan would definitely start from this point.

After all, the Beast Race of the Demon Beast Continent despises the idea of associating with the human experts.

Believing them all to be hypocritical and adept at backstabbing.

So he had already thought of a way to deal with this.

Only to hear Qi Wu stand up, unruffled as he says, "That’s true, however, they have a special ability."

"Special ability?" Qi Chuan frowns.

Qi Wu nods, smiling, "In the Ascending God Ruins, they resonated with the paintings in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Although they didn’t obtain it, this should be helpful to us when we seek the geographic rods of the Classic of Mountains and Seas later on."

Hearing this, not only Qi Chuan, but even the Kirin Clan Leader’s eyes flash with excitement.

The Kirin Clan Leader nods slightly, "If that’s the case, I will let the matter of bringing humans into our Kirin Clan slide."

A tumult rises in Qi Chuan’s eyes, looking somewhat restless.

After all, the Kirin Clan Leader had issued an order.

Whoever among them could be the first to obtain the geographic rods from the Classic of Mountains and Seas would be the incontrovertible successor to the title of Clan Leader.

Seeing Qi Chuan’s expression, Qi Wu smiles, "Big brother, searching blindly like this is always ineffectual. Isn’t it? This time, my trip out to find these few people should be able to help us."

Help us?

Do remove this "us"!

Qi Chuan forces a smile, patting Qi Wu on the shoulder, and then leaves.

Seeing this, Qi Wu looks at the Clan Leader and bows, "Father, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave as well."

The Clan Leader waves his hand.

Qi Wu departs.

After both of them leave.

A woman suddenly appeared in front of the Kirin Clan Leader.

Yet, although she is a woman, her body is exceptionally burly.

There are even two long scars on her face stretching from her forehead to her chin.

The woman spoke coldly, "Do I need to investigate?"

The Clan Leader waved his hand, "No need, let those two fight it out."

"Qi Chuan and Qi Wu have been fighting in the shadows quite a bit, won’t there be problems?" the woman questioned.

The Clan Leader sneered, "If they can’t win even within their own home, how can they talk about taking over my position?"

"It’s just that their fight has gradually moved from the open to the shadows, which does irk me somewhat. When did they start acting like those insincere humans?" The Clan Leader was quite dissatisfied.

For the Beast Race, if you don’t accept something, you fight it out, not stab each other in the back.

That is the true nature of the Beast Race.

The woman stated faintly, "Being strategic is also good. Sometimes brute force alone won’t do the job. Strength is not frightening, but intelligence is... Even more frightening is someone who possesses both intelligence and strength."

"Alright, enough of that," the Clan Leader said impatiently, waving his hand, "All this hesitation and still no action. I’ll have to sit in this position for much longer than I’d like, while I’m actually looking forward to going out to travel, cultivate, and pick fights with those old guys."

The woman looked at the Clan Leader and said, "I’ll fight you."

The Clan Leader immediately shook his head, "Let’s not, your fights are never-ending."

...

At Qi Chuan’s mountain peak.

Returning to the great hall, Qi Chuan sat on the high seat, and the scroll was brought to him.

"Boss, this is detailed information about those three humans."

They had only heard the news previously, without the chance to investigate.

However, the fact that Qi Chuan managed to gather such information in just a couple of hours was testament to his immense capabilities.

Qi Chuan took the scroll.

It was inscribed with Blackie, Shi Sheng, and Mu Fusheng’s achievements during the exchange at the Six Realms Academy, as well as some events from their time on the Mixed Spirit Continent.

Some of their interpersonal relationships were also laid out.

For instance, the ambiguous relationship between Mu Fusheng and the number one beauty of the Chaos Realm.

However...

Qi Chuan slightly furrowed his brows; the information on the scroll was pitifully sparse.

He flicked the scroll in his hand and looked at the servant, "Is this all the information we have?"

Luo Zhou bitterly smiled, "Boss, there’s nothing we can do. They are from The Mortal Realm. But to send our people... we simply can’t infiltrate The Mortal Realm to gather news."

Qi Chuan frowned, "We can’t even infiltrate a mere Mortal Realm?"

"It’s not that we can’t infiltrate it," said Luo Zhou. "It’s that our people can’t even find the specific location of The Mortal Realm. It’s as if the spatial nodes there are all jumbled up."

Right, this must be the doing of Lu Changsheng again.

Qi Chuan’s eyes widened, "And what about Tingfeng Pavilion?"

"This is the information obtained at great expense from Tingfeng Pavilion."

"Isn’t there a new intelligence force in the Chaos Realm challenging the Tingfeng Pavilion... that Dark Domain, don’t they have any information?"

Luo Zhou shook his head helplessly, "We had found an informant in the Dark Domain through our network, but as soon as they heard we wanted this information, they simply cut off the deal."

Something is not right!

Very wrong indeed!

Qi Chuan’s brows deeply furrowed.

It seems those three have no ordinary identities in The Mortal Realm.

Not only are they impossible to infiltrate, but even Tingfeng Pavilion can only get this much information.

"That will do," Qi Chuan gestured, and Luo Zhou prepared to leave.

But then, as if suddenly thinking of something, Qi Chuan stopped Luo Zhou, "Right, since we have guests here, naturally we should meet them, so let’s have a banquet right here."

Luo Zhou was startled, then quickly understood and nodded, "I’ll get right on it."
