Chapter 871 Asking for Trouble

Xuan Mu looked at her and chuckled, saying, "That's about right. The Southern Alliance lords divided the territories, and the other factions had to coil like dragons and lie down like tigers. But the Northern Alliance is different. They divide the territory based on power, which is indeed a lot more chaotic than the Southern Alliance. But with the Ninth Heaven being there, they can't cause any major disturbances."

Luo Li lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of understanding, "So that's how it is."

She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Do you know Qingfeng Valley?"

Wen Xingyan nodded and said as he thought, "Of course I know. The master of Qingfeng Valley in the Northern Alliance is one of the five known alchemists at the Grand Master level on the continent."

Luo Li's expression was slightly complicated. "What kind of existence is Qingfeng Valley?"

"Qingfeng Valley..."

Xuan Mu touched his chin. "I have the impression that they are not competitive. Usually, only others go to them to make pills. I really don't know much about them."

Luo Li looked at Wen Xingyan again.

Wen Xingyan raised his hand and said, "Ah, I'm just like him, I really don't understand it very well."

"Is that so..." Luo Li lowered her head.

Xuan Mu approached with some curiosity, "Why are you suddenly interested in Qingfeng Valley?"

Luo Li raised her eyes and smiled, "An old friend of mine has a close connection with Qingfeng Valley."

Wen Xingyan didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Since there's a connection, then find a time to go there. Qingfeng Valley is in the Northern Alliance anyway, so it's not like they'll run away."

Xuan Mu spread his hands and said, "I'll go with you then."

Hearing this, Luo Li curled her lips and said, "Yeah, they won't run away."

She breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, you said the Di family is here too, so where's Di Chen?"

"Emperor Chen?"

Xuan Mu and Wen Xingyan looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Luo Li was puzzled, "What's wrong? Doesn't Di Chen have a good relationship with you guys?"

"A good relationship?"

The two of them looked even stranger.

Finally, Xuan Mu coughed lightly and said, "We are not familiar with Di Chen. We just had some interactions before going to Tianyuan Continent. We are not familiar with each other. We were also quite surprised by his attitude in Tianyuan Continent."

Luo Li was almost confused, "So?"

Wen Xingyan sighed, "After returning to the gods, he naturally turned back into the Holy Son of the Emperor Family sitting on the high platform. We also went to look for him twice, hoping to go out and train together, but each time we were turned away, so we didn't bother trying anymore."

Luo Li finally understood, "So after I returned to the gods, you guys completely lost contact?"

"That's not the case," Xuan Mu shook his head. "I've seen him in various continental tournaments we've participated in, but it was just a nod."

Thinking of the appearance of Di Chen from Tianyuan Continent, Luo Li always felt a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing strange about it.

She shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore.

"So Di Chen won't come to such an occasion?"

"Of course," Wen Xingyan nodded. "The Di Family is also a top-tier power in the Northern Alliance. Naturally, they wouldn't allow their only Holy Son to appear at such an event. Only an elder came today."

Luo Li raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the Di family was indeed not to be underestimated.

I just don't know if this Di family has any connection with A Ming's Di family.

She lowered her eyes. There should be no connection, right?

The three of them chatted as they headed deeper into the mountains.

The rain has stopped, but the thunderstorm is still brewing.

Even during the day, the sky was still dark under the dark clouds.

The mountains were shrouded in mist, and every step made a crackling sound on the wet fallen leaves.

Luo Li raised her hand and gently brushed away the rain-soaked grass leaves. Her eyes passed through the layers of trees and looked towards the faint thundering light in the distance. A sense of uneasiness inexplicably welled up in her heart.

"Something doesn't seem right..."

Wen Xingyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

Luo Li frowned. "That Black Qilin is at the peak of the Lord level. I'm afraid there aren't many Lord-level spiritual masters among us. And that Black Qilin has obviously discovered that we are coming for him. So why is he completely ignoring us while the thunder tribulation hasn't arrived?"

Moreover, after breaking through to the peak of the lord level, one will become a great lord. Nowadays, the great lord-level spiritualists on the continent are the lords of various territories and the rulers of the major forces in the Northern Alliance.

So Mo Qilin, a single magical beast, can completely suppress the combined power of most of them, but why doesn't Mo Qilin care about them at all?

Xuan Mu suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that he doesn't care about us at all?"

Luo Li touched his chin, "That's really possible, but if he successfully breaks through the thunder tribulation and becomes a great lord, we won't be able to fill his teeth."

Wen Xingyan chuckled, "Now that we've come this far, there's no point in going back. If we can't win, we'll just run. I have a lot of teleportation talismans on me."

Luo Li snapped her fingers, "That makes sense. Let's go see if this Black Qilin can withstand the thunder tribulation."

If he couldn't resist, he would be divided up by those who coveted him and the power inherited from the ancient gods.

Another day later, they finally arrived not far from where the Black Qilin appeared.

Because of the Black Qilin and the Thunder Tribulation, all the magical beasts within a hundred miles either ran away or returned to their nests and dared not move, so their journey can be said to be very smooth.

There is a large open space in front of us, and in the middle of the open space there is a huge lake.

Luo Li looked around and said, "The Black Qilin should be under this lake."

"It should be," Wen Xingyan glanced at the thunder tribulation in the sky, "Let's set up camp first. I'm afraid this thunder tribulation will take at least another day."

"Can."

They chose a place sheltered from the wind and set up camp. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional roar of thunder coming from afar.

The busy figures of the disciples and mercenaries looked particularly small on the empty grassland.

Wen Xingyan skillfully processed a spirit rabbit, while Xuan Mu built a fire nearby. With a flick of his fingertips, sparks flew and reflected on his focused face.

The air around was filled with the faint scent of pine and the occasional water vapor floating over the distant lake. If there wasn't a peak-level lord-level monster below and a thunder tribulation above that could break through the peak-level lord, Luo Li would have thought they were going to camp.

One day later, in the evening.

Luo Li bit the leg of a spirit rabbit and suddenly raised her eyes, "Here it comes."

Before she finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up, the surface of the lake suddenly broke open, and a huge monster instantly rushed into the sky.

The huge body of the Black Qilin was looming in the lightning, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the void, looking directly at everyone, but without any hostility.

A faint inky halo surrounded his body, and every breath he took seemed to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The humans who confronted him trembled under this pressure.
