I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense C.150: 151 This is a Damn Phoenix

“Qilin Bloodline?”

“Lord Ergouzi is a Divine Beast from the Ancient Era?”

Ergouzi was utterly confused. It had no idea it was a Qilin Divine Beast. If it really was a Qilin Divine Beast, why was it still so weak?

Inside the carriage, Ouyang Shuanger and Ji Wuqing were both shocked. The Ergouzi who only knew how to brag and curse, was actually a Qilin Divine Beast?

Damn, in what way does this thing resemble a Qilin Divine Beast?

“Indeed, we cultivators of Fire Qilin Cave carry the bloodline of the Qilin Divine Beast in our veins. There is no mistake; you are a Kylin!” 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

Chen Ping said with certainty.

The surrounding dozen or so cultivators also wore serious expressions, showing no signs of jest.

“Divine Beasts are gifts from heaven, incomparable to pigs and dogs. From now on, do not speak the name ‘Ergouzi’ again. Follow us back to the Sect.”

Without waiting for Ergouzi to react, Chen Ping extended a hand, and with a casual grasp, firmly fixed it within the void.

“Woof, Lord Ergouzi is a supreme being. How dare you treat me like this!” Ergouzi barked furiously.

Chen Ping frowned. The Qilin Divine Beast was actually barking like a dog; it was a disgrace.

He pointed a finger in the air and gently tapped, sealing Ergouzi’s mouth and drawing it through the air towards him.

Despite Ergouzi’s punches and kicks in the void, Chen Ping said, “The Qilin Divine Beast is a symbol of good fortune. Every word and action of a Divine Beast represents the core values of the world’s etiquette and must not be taken lightly. Such disgraceful behavior must cease!”

“After returning to Fire Qilin Cave, the Divine Beast must grow rapidly, awaken its bloodline legacy, and you will understand your identity and unlock the memories of the Ancient Era. There is more than one beast in this world with the Qilin Bloodline. You will come together to compete with one another until the strongest emerges!”

Chen Ping spoke slowly.

“Woof, you old fool, the future of Lord Ergouzi is not for you to decide!”

Ergouzi looked resentful, but it was already caught and powerless to fight back.

“Silence, Qilin Bloodline, a Divine Beast of destiny, you must not speak such vulgar words. From today onwards, you are not allowed to speak until the moment your memory returns!”

Chen Ping’s face flashed a trace of anger. Each beast with the Qilin Bloodline was usually high and mighty, exuding nobility.

Among demonic beasts, those related to the Qilin were all kings of their kind, holding a revered status. How could they be like this Qilin Divine Beast before them, acting like a complete fool!

With a series of hand seals, Chen Ping thoroughly sealed Ergouzi’s mouth.

Ouyang Shuanger felt fearful and anxious inside the vehicle. Qilin Divine Beasts, bloodline inheritance, the competition among Divine Beasts to choose the dominant one—she seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

This kind of secret concerning the foundation of a Sect, spoken so carelessly in front of her, could mean only one thing: they had no intention of letting her live.

Being at the Half-step Nascent Soul cultivation level, not even fully at the Nascent Soul Stage, she stood no chance against such powerful figures.

Sure enough, after Elder Chen tied up Ergouzi and handed him over to the other cultivators, he turned his gaze toward the location of the large truck.

“This mount should also be taken back. A mount that can withstand Elder Chen’s Fire Qilin Primordial Spirit is very rare indeed.”

Elder Chen carefully sensed the large heavy-duty truck. Indeed, this mount had no signs of life, and the spot struck by the Fire Qilin’s claw showed no trace of being burned.

This mount was quite powerful—no ordinary demonic beast!

“And the woman inside…”

a nearby cultivator asked.

“Kill her.”

Elder Chen waved his hand impatiently, uttering his command casually.

In an instant, Ouyang Shuanger on the passenger seat felt as though she had fallen into an ice pit.

“Senior, this humble girl is the daughter of the King of Zhenyuan Country. My father has good relations with the Xingtian Sect of Central Province. I beg you to spare my life in consideration of my father,” she pleaded.

“This humble girl is willing to swear an oath with her Dao heart, that whatever happened today will not be spoken of to anyone!”

Ouyang Shuanger couldn’t sit still anymore, panic crawling out from inside the carriage, her body trembling uncontrollably.

“Oh?”

“The princess of Zhenyuan Country, cozying up with Xingtian Sect, so what?”

“What’s Xingtian Sect to speak of meriting face with me? Even the Sword Demon, when he was alive, wouldn’t dare to misbehave in front of Fire Qilin Cave.”

Elder Chen said indifferently, his eyes filled with utter disdain.

With a wave of his hand, a cultivator stepped forward, his palm turning into a fiery red, scales rising as he reached for Ouyang Shuanger.

Feeling the scorching breath approaching her, Ouyang Shuanger felt desperate. Death was too suffocating; if she had known, she would have set out with Grand Emperor.

“Father, mother, your unfilial child cannot offer filial piety at your knees anymore.”

Ouyang Shuanger closed her eyes; tears slid down her cheeks.

Inside the cockpit.

Ji Wuqing lay on the seat, lit a Huazi, and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke, seeming to have made up his mind about something.

He fished out a small piece of top-grade Spirit Stone from the gap beneath the driver’s seat, his last bit of private stash.

“Gulu gulu, originally planned to use it in an emergency, and now this should count as one, right?”

…

Ergouzi stared with widened eyes at the cultivator seeking to kill Ouyang Shuanger, never feeling so powerless before.

Though Ouyang Shuanger was just a passerby, they had grown somewhat attached over time. Moreover, she was about to die because of it, which made it furious.

“Roar!”

A sky-shattering beastly roar tore through the heavens as ancient breath burst forth from the truck, sweeping across the area.

A crushing aura descended, making every Fire Qilin Cave cultivator in attendance feel a tightness in their chest, the Qilin Blood in their veins suddenly solidifying, their Primordial Spirits trembling faintly.

The complexion of the cultivator in front of Ouyang Shuanger turned deathly pale, the fiery red scales receding like a tide.

Upon touching Ouyang Wushuang, it turned back into an ordinary human hand.

“This is bloodline suppression!”

“The breath of the ancient times, far surpassing the bloodline of beings from the Ancient Era. What creature could this mount be?”

Elder Chen’s face showed great shock. The fact that this Steel Behemoth could suppress their bloodlines was truly incredible. Even the Golden-Winged Roc, an ancient Divine Beast, was not capable of such bloodline oppression to this degree.

It was like the symptoms one would only experience when faced with the progenitors.

“Fall back, run your Cultivation Technique, activate the Qilin Bloodline!” Elder Chen rapidly gave orders.

Ouyang Shuanger was somewhat stunned, suddenly not needing to die, which gave her a roller coaster of emotions.

But at this moment, a familiar nasally voice came from inside the carriage.

“Gulu gulu, Ergouzi, Lord Ji Wuqing is here to save you!”

From inside the carriage, a colorful bird soared upward, growing rapidly with the wind, and in an instant, it transformed into a giant beast that obscured the sky.

Wearing a Purple Gold Phoenix Crown, clad in golden armor, dragging a long, slender, multicolored Phoenix Tail.

From its beak, dazzling flames furiously surged forth, raising the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Its hawk-like eyes stared unrelentingly at the Fire Qilin Cave expert beside Ergouzi.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, “Damn it, that’s a Phoenix!”
