Whispering Forest is the largest forest on the continent of Noah, covering an area equivalent to four level-five empires. It is entirely governed by the Elven race and is the most natural and harmonious place.

Under normal circumstances, the elves do not harbor much hostility towards outsiders. Basically, if the visitors are just passing through and do not kill anyone, the elves will not bother to show themselves.

However, the elves will immediately stop any transgression.

This is a secluded paradise that everyone longs for.

Standing on the Cloud Chaser, Quan Ji could see the entire landscape clearly.

Trees of varying heights are layered upon each other like waves, appearing as a green dream from afar, but upon closer inspection one can see that this place is blessed with natural beauty and possesses powerful natural forces.

Countless rare creatures, seldom seen elsewhere, are drinking water beside the crystal-clear streams, creating a harmonious scene.

Quan Ji pursed her lips and commented, "This place is nice, I like it."

Jun Chenlan nodded: "I like it too."

In fact, he is not someone who pays much attention to nature. No matter how harsh the circumstances, he can maintain a certain attitude towards survival.

But love extends to everything connected to the beloved.

What Quan Ji likes, he naturally likes too.

Quan Ji smiled.

Suddenly, Zhuiyun plunged into the ground as if it had lost control.

Quan Ji almost fell because she wasn't careful, but luckily Jun Chenlan grabbed her hand in time, preventing an accident.

The unicorn's full-speed dive was so fast that Quan Ji could feel the oncoming airflow scraping her like blades.

"The Cloud Chaser has gone out of control?!"

Jun Chenlan shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, he just went home."

Quan Ji was taken aback.

Just went home?

Zhuiyun's home...

The sacred unicorn clan...

Quan Ji was speechless.

No wonder Zhuiyun was so excited.

So they went home.

She remembered that the sacred unicorn clan was so precious because of its horn, which was not only beautiful but also possessed the purest energy and the most durable texture. Any item made from the horn of a sacred unicorn was a top luxury item on the Noah Continent.

This is precisely why humans, driven by greed, carried out a brutal and inhumane hunt against the sacred unicorn.

The unicorn race was wiped out overnight, and Zhuiyun... is the only known survivor of this race. It was Jun Chenlan who happened to pass by and saved it.

Quan Ji looked at the horn on Zhuiyun's head, pursed her lips, and asked, "Zhuiyun's horn..."

Jun Chenlan said, "It belongs to it... Unicorns and horns are related. After it recovered, it personally killed the person who took its horn."

Kwon Ji stopped speaking.

A sense of desolation washed over me.

The Holy Unicorn race is by no means a weak race, but it is certainly no match for the human race, one of the eight major races.

The rise and fall of a race was actually punished by humans filled with greed.

Quan Ji found the whole thing absurd and laughable—especially since she knew that these people could have left offspring for the unicorn clan, but instead chose to exterminate the entire clan in order to cover up the truth.

She scoffed coldly: "Those people deserve to die."

The strength of the strong is never used to satisfy their own desires.

The truly strong are those who maintain the stability of the world.

Because when one person's desires are satisfied, there will always be a price to pay for it.

Matter and spirit, everything is conserved.

For example, when a unicorn dies, its natural predators become more rampant, and so on, ultimately affecting the entire ecological balance chain.

How can humans be sure that such chaos won't affect them?

By this time, the unicorn had landed.

It landed beside the stream.

The surrounding environment was exceptionally beautiful, with fallen leaves fluttering in the air. The return of the sacred unicorn attracted countless animals, who chattered excitedly beside it.

The short-lived butterfly flutters about, wondering where this familiar energy comes from.

Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan jumped off Zhuiyun's body.

Zhuiyun knelt on all fours, his head facing the stream, the horns on his head emitting a faint light.

This is a unique way unicorns greet each other.

The clouds are chasing the water.

Jun Chenlan said:

"When I passed through here years ago, the entire river was dyed red, and the carcasses of unicorns floated on the surface and at the bottom of the river."

"It's telling its family that it's back."

Quan Ji pursed her lips and couldn't help but reach out and rub Zhuiyun's head.

She said in a cold voice, "We are your family too."

This was somewhat comforting, but it was mostly Kwon Ji's own feeling.

In fact, Zhuiyun had long been regarded as family by Jun Chenlan.

Zhuiyun bowed gently to Quan Ji's hand, behaving very obediently.

He seemed to agree with Kwon Ji's statement.

Kwon Ji could sense it.

Jun Chenlan said, "Let's rest here for a while, let it get some rest too."

Quan Ji nodded.

Just as the two were about to sit down with Zhuiyun.

Zhuiyun seemed to have sensed something; his jewel-like blue eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately straightened up.

Jun Chenlan stepped forward and stroked its body.

"What's going on?"

Zhuiyun let out a "roar," and Quan Ji could understand what it was saying.

She shuddered in pain and said, "Zhuiyun said it sensed the presence of its own kind, but it wasn't sure..."

Jun Chenlan was also taken aback.

"The same kind? The sacred unicorn?"

Zhuiyun nodded, then quickened his pace, speeding away like a shooting star.

Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan exchanged a glance, nodded, and then transformed into a flash of light to follow Zhuiyun.

If it really is a sacred unicorn... maybe this "extinct" race still has hope of continuing!

Soon, Zhuiyun stopped.

It looked up at the top of the big tree in front of it.

The smell was on them.

Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan looked in the same direction and saw a large net trapping a group of people.

The group of people, dressed in mercenary attire, lit up the moment they saw Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan, two living people, accompanied by a sacred unicorn.

They shouted:

"Hey! People over there! Help us! Put us down!!!"

Quan Ji looked at the people in the net and instantly teleported to their side in a golden flash.

Her cool voice asked, "Mercenary group? Why are your people here, and who captured them?"

The man who was at the very bottom, and who looked rather handsome, said...

"You...you put us down first and then we'll tell you!"

Quan Ji scoffed coldly. How could she be someone without any suspicion?

“You have no bargaining power with me. If you want to be released, answer my questions properly.”

The man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"My name is Zhang Te, and I am the leader of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. We came here for the sake of the Elf Clan, and it was the Elf Clan who captured us."

Quan Ji asked, "Did you come here for the sake of the elves? What's the specific reason?"
