Hearing the words of Chen Yan, Ink Qilin seemed to remember Ling Mo Xie and the others, glancing at them and saying with glee, "Hehe, I won't let you out. Just stay here with me; there's nothing good outside anyway."
Ling Mo Xie gave a helpless smile. When Ink Qilin acted willfully, it was truly unbearable. Chen Yan also didn't consider the current situation and dared to provoke half of the master here.
Upon hearing Ink Qilin's words, Xu Qingfeng became anxious. He initially thought that since Ink Qilin seemed to be an acquaintance of Chen Yan, they could rely on Ink Qilin to get out.
After all, Ink Qilin had followed the Heavenly Demon Sect for a long time and surely knew more about the Demon Tomb than Luo Yan. He would definitely have a way to get them out.
In his urgency, Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but interject, "Ink Qilin, the person who fought alongside you before is now the ruler of the Evil Path. His intentions are extremely malicious. If he obtains anything left behind by the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Demon Tomb, it will be a disaster for the Cultivation World!"
Upon hearing Xu Qingfeng's words, Ink Qilin merely glanced at him nonchalantly, showing no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, completely different from the anger and helplessness he displayed towards Chen Yan.
Xu Qingfeng shuddered. How did he forget this in his panic? After all, Ink Qilin was a legendary Divine Beast; in its eyes, he was probably just an ant. He hoped that his casual interjection wouldn't anger Ink Qilin. However, what he said was indeed true!
Fortunately, Ink Qilin didn't seem to be angered by Xu Qingfeng's interruption. Instead, he calmly replied, "A disaster for the Cultivation World? What does that have to do with me? In my long life, what kind of disasters haven't I encountered? Even that disaster that almost led to the destruction of the Immortal Realm—I participated in it. What disaster today could possibly move me?"
"Moreover, it's just the Cultivation World. Even if it were to be destroyed, so what? I would just need to move somewhere else—perhaps to the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm!"
Ink Qilin appeared indifferent and unconcerned, leaving Xu Qingfeng speechless. Indeed, what they saw as a great disaster might not mean anything to Ink Qilin. After all, it posed no threat to him; after all, he was a Divine Beast and had every right to say such things.
Furthermore, even if the Evil Ridge Sect Leader obtained something left behind by the Heavenly Demon Sect, he couldn't destroy the Cultivation World. Perhaps even the Heavenly Demon Sect itself couldn't achieve that.
However, Ink Qilin's words only deepened their confusion about why he had followed the Heavenly Demon Sect in the first place.
After all, from Ink Qilin's tone, it seemed he had experienced much more than Heavenly Demon Sect Not Bad. Since he had faced a crisis that nearly destroyed the Immortal Realm, he should be far superior to Not Bad of Heavenly Demon Sect who had just ascended to the Demon Realm. A Divine Beast like Ink Qilin seemed to have no reason to follow Heavenly Demon Sect.
Moreover, back then when Heavenly Demon Sect was merely an ordinary Evil Path cultivator, he certainly didn't have the ability to force Ink Qilin to follow him as his Beast Pet; everything could only be voluntary on Ink Qilin's part.
Although Ink Qilin was not human, after countless years of living, could he not see through human thoughts? Thus, he easily perceived their doubts but chose not to explain anything and simply lay down again to continue sleeping.
"Roar!" Chen Yan growled in annoyance and threatened Ink Qilin, "Get up! Do you believe that once my power is restored, I will go find trouble with that so-called Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Ink Qilin paused and said, "You have a noble identity and extraordinary bloodline; you are the Dragon Son of the world's first dragon—much more noble than an ordinary member of my Qilin clan. If you want to go, then go ahead; I won't stop you. After all, I've disliked him for a long time."
To everyone's surprise, Ink Qilin seemed completely unfazed by Chen Yan's threat and calmly spoke as if he truly disliked that Heavenly Demon Sect.
Even Chen Yan was momentarily speechless. After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand something and said to Ink Qilin, "Oh? Since you don't care about him so much, then I feel quite sorry for him. Shouldn't we help him find some clues about his background? I remember I have an old friend—oh yes, your father—who seems quite knowledgeable about this matter; I'll just ask him."
"You!" The Ink Qilin stood up abruptly, as if its fur had been ruffled, and angrily said to Chen Yan, but in the end did not do anything to her. It only sighed in frustration, saying, "Fine, fine, I'll help you out this time. Really, even when I want some peace and quiet, I can't get it."
Muttering to itself, the Ink Qilin stood up and swayed slightly, its body beginning to grow larger. It seemed that within this cage-like structure, its Spiritual Energy was not restricted, perhaps because it was a Divine Beast.
With a crisp sound of "bang!" the Ink Qilin simply extended its claw and lightly tapped the framework of the cage. The entire cage shattered in response, wooden shards flying everywhere.
"Alright, you all can go now. Don't bother me anymore. And Chen Yan, when your cultivation reaches my level, make sure to come find me for a match. Don't wait until you're better than me before coming; I'll call you despicable!"
The Ink Qilin yawned after speaking and began to shrink back down to its previous form. It then found a corner and lay down to sleep.
Once the Ink Qilin fell asleep, it truly resembled a statue; no one would guess that it was actually a Qilin!
Ling Mo Xie and the others were perceptive enough; since the Ink Qilin had already helped them out, they decided not to disturb it any further and prepared to head towards the Central Hall mentioned by Luo Yan.
"What should we do now? Without Luo Yan guiding us, we're completely lost and can't find our way!" Xu Qingfeng said helplessly to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie was also troubled by this and couldn't think of a solution right away. He could only say to Xu Qingfeng, "For now, let's return to where we entered through the Main Gate. We can follow the path that Luo Yan intended to take us to the Central Hall. Once we reach a fork in the road, we can figure out what to do next. For now, we can only take it step by step."
"Alright, that's indeed the only option," Xu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
The group retraced their steps along the path they had come from. As they walked, they suddenly heard sounds of fighting.
Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but exchange glances with Ling Mo Xie. "Mo Xie, are there others in the Demon Tomb? Luo Yan couldn't possibly be fighting with the Evil Ridge Sect Leader; they're not on the same level of Cultivator!"
"Yes!" Ling Mo Xie nodded and then his expression changed slightly as he said, "The sounds are getting closer; the fighters are moving in our direction!"
Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "I heard it too. What should we do now? Should we find a place to hide or wait for them to come over?"
Ling Mo Xie looked around and spotted several realistic rockeries. He said, "Let's hide first and see who is fighting; it will help us understand the current situation in the Demon Tomb."
"Okay!" Xu Qingfeng had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Just as the three of them hid away, the two fighters arrived at the spot where Ling Mo Xie and his companions had just been standing.
Both individuals were dressed elegantly with noble bearing. The weapons in their hands were rare top-tier Spirit Weapons from the Cultivation World. The spells they cast were powerful as well; their cultivation techniques must have been extraordinary.
The two seemed to be fighting for their lives, exchanging spells without mercy.
Xu Qingfeng, being a Daoist Disciple, had more insight than Ling Mo Xie and immediately recognized the backgrounds of the two individuals.
He said to Ling Mo Xie, "It seems that news of the Demon Tomb has already spread. These two are both at the mid-stage of the tribulation. One is from the Righteous Path Grand Sect Qingyun Sect, and the other is from Heartless Valley. Both of these Sects are well-known under the Taoist Sect."
Ling Mo Xie frowned, "The news about the Demon Tomb shouldn't have spread so quickly. Someone must be stirring things up behind the scenes!"
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Xu Qingfeng was momentarily taken aback, then nodded in understanding. The Demon Tomb had not yet officially appeared, so it hadn't caused much commotion. Only those well-informed, like Bai Yunfei, and those who found the Demon Tomb, such as Luo Yan, would know about it.
"Brother Chen, hand over the Qianqing Pearl. For the sake of our past friendship, I can spare your life!" At this moment, one of the combatants, dressed in a plain brocade robe, said to the other.
The two had similar temperaments, both resembling scholarly young gentlemen, suggesting they were once friends who could get along well.
Hearing this call, the person referred to as Brother Chen sneered and replied, "Past friendship? What friendship do we have left? The moment I obtained this Spiritual Treasure, you were the first to strike against me, my so-called good brother!"
The other person was momentarily speechless but soon regained his composure and said, "Treasures belong to those with virtue; everyone has the right to seize them. After all, this originally belonged to the Heavenly Demon Sect, so it's hard to say who it rightfully belongs to!"
"Enough with the nonsense; let's see whose skills are better!" The man was evidently extremely disappointed in his former brother and coldly stated, intensifying his attacks with no mercy.
At that moment, from behind the Rockery, Xu Qingfeng looked towards Ling Mo Xie and asked, "What do you think? Should we go seize that Spiritual Treasure? Every type of Spiritual Treasure has its unique functions and is as powerful as top-grade Spiritual Energy. I didn't expect this person to be so lucky; he entered the Demon Tomb not long ago and already obtained such a treasure."
Xu Qingfeng spoke very naturally; seizing treasures was a common occurrence in the Cultivation World. In his view, given their current strength, they were fully capable of snatching the treasure from those two.
