363 Although you are weak, you have great courage to seek death
The Mayfly Stone is the means by which the Mayfly King Feng Hen is resurrected. Although it is called a stone, it is actually a mayfly egg refined with the help of special means, and it contains a trace of Feng Hen's soul.
If the main body is destroyed, Feng Hen can use it to revive.
Under normal circumstances, the Mayfly Stone should be in a sealed state.
If Feng Hen is in danger, he will have to use this backup plan. The mayfly stone will slowly hatch, giving Feng Hen enough time to recuperate.
But the mayfly stone that Qiongqi found was broken into pieces, and it was obvious that it had been destroyed by external force.
This thing has always been hidden by Feng Hen deep in the Mayfly Palace. If Qiongqi's body had not been in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he would not have been able to get close to the place where the Mayfly Stone was.
If Feng Hen was still alive, he would be able to sense that the Mayfly Stone had been destroyed, and would definitely come back to deal with these things and set up a new resurrection plan.
But the fact is that after the Mayfly Stone shattered, Feng Hen did not come to clean up the mess at all.
Thinking of this, Qiongqi added: "I just recalled that the Mayfly Palace looks magnificent on the surface, but the formations and other protective measures in the underground palace are all broken, and even the treasure house has been emptied."
Jiang Xin felt heartbroken when she heard this.
How come she didn't empty it?
"When you discovered that the protective measures in the underground palace were damaged, didn't you think there was a problem?" asked the second elder.
Qiongqi opened his bloody mouth awkwardly and licked the tip of his nose: "That guy swept the tail very neatly. I was determined to find Fenghen for a decisive battle at that time, and I thought he was too proud of his extraordinary strength to set up defenses in the underground palace. As for the empty treasure house, I thought he was poor."
Ning Yao couldn't help but imagine that the cave he would live in after he was promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage might also have such an empty treasure house.
Even the dreams of a poor boy were so humble. Ning Yao forced himself not to think about such a sad thing and forcibly diverted his attention: "What happened next?"
Qiongqi paused for a moment, a little irritated: "I don't remember."
Jiang Xin encouraged him: "Think hard!"
Qiongqi was in a dilemma and made a hoarse "moo" sound like a cow.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, when did you find out that Senior Feng Hen was in trouble?"
This question sounded simple. Qiongqi opened his mouth to answer, but was stunned again.
Why didn't he remember it again?
The second elder twirled his hair with his fingertips and asked thoughtfully, "Not long ago I heard that the ancestor of the Qiongqi tribe was missing. Are you the ancestor of the Qiongqi tribe?"
Qiongqi himself didn't remember and didn't want to answer this question.
If he answered yes, it would be a shame for the ancestor of the clan to be sealed away and treated as a domestic kitten.
If he answered no, it would not be an honor for him to have reached the Tribulation Stage but not yet become the head of the clan.
Jiang Xin had an idea and pulled Xiao Mi out of his pocket: "Xiao Mi, is your original body the missing ancestor of the Qiongqi tribe?"
"Yes, he is the only one in the Qiongqi tribe who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. But if Xinxin is willing to promote me, I can also--" Before it could finish its words, it was stuffed back into the bag by Jiang Xin, leaving only one slightly pink round ear standing upright on the edge of the spirit beast bag, eavesdropping on everyone's conversation.
The Sixth Elder complained to the Second Elder: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? This Qiongqi wants to challenge Fenghen. There must be rumors in the outside world. We will find out once we investigate."
The second elder rolled his eyes and said, "I just remembered it too. The Qiongqi tribe kept this a secret. They are powerful and have bad tempers, so the other monster tribes don't dare to come to verify it. There are only occasional rumors. And old Qiongqi hasn't shown up for more than ten years. Maybe he went into seclusion. No monster took this matter to heart."
Ning Yao was not yet an adult. When Jiang Yichen and his wife picked him up, Qiongqi had already been sealed in his body, which matched the time when Qiongqi disappeared.
"It is rumored that before Qiongqi disappeared, he did have the ambition to unify the demon realm, but there was no movement afterwards, and the demons all thought he had given up. Now think about it, if he disappeared after sneaking into the Mayfly Palace, and was then sealed into Yao'er's body, wouldn't it be possible to string the timeline together?" The second elder stated his speculation in an orderly manner.
"That makes sense, but the question is who sealed him? Was it the person who killed Feng Hen? If so, he could have killed Feng Hen without anyone noticing, so why would he have kept this Qiongqi? Just kill them all together." said the fifth elder.
Qiongqi bared its teeth in dissatisfaction, but because the fifth elder was telling the truth, it had to retract its teeth in frustration.
The Sixth Elder added: "There is another question. Feng Hen is very powerful, even Master recognizes his strength. Who can kill such a strong man quietly?"
No one knew the answer, and the cave suddenly became eerily quiet.
Jiang Xin had never seen Feng Hen before, so she didn't know his strength, so she could only compare it with the strength of others.
Since even Taoist Master Zhuyue acknowledges his strength, Feng Hen must be a powerful man of the time, a man who is at the Tribulation Crossing Stage among the Tribulation Crossing Stages.
In Jiang Xin's eyes, the real Qiongqi was just a caged, grumpy little cat and posed no threat at all.
Faced with this double standard that made cats angry, Jiang Xin felt compassion and comforted the grumpy kitten in the cage: "Don't be sad, don't be disappointed. Although your strength is a little lacking, your courage to challenge Feng Hen is amazing!"
Ning Yao also felt the same way: "Senior, who gave you the courage to challenge Feng Hen?"
Being underestimated, Qiongqi was furious: "I am very strong! If I wasn't sure I could beat Fenghen, I wouldn't have challenged him again and again."
Chu Linfeng expressed his doubts: "Then what do you rely on?"
"I..." Qiongqi stopped talking halfway. He had a vague impression, but he felt it would be dangerous to think about it further.
Xiao Mi was eager to make a contribution. His ears trembled and he couldn't wait to get out of the spirit beast bag with his paws raised. "I know, I know! The Qiongqi tribe has a secret treasure that originated from a great master. This is his greatest support. Xinxin, let him hand it over. Domesticated kittens don't have private property!"
As soon as he said that, Qiongqi's original body also remembered this matter and angrily scolded Xiao Mi as a traitor: "You bastard, you are the only one who has a mouth?"
"We are of the same origin, why are we so anxious to hurt each other? Don't be mean to Senior Xiaomi." Shen Muse wanted to see the Immortal Venerable's secret treasure, so he smiled and pleaded for Xiaomi, rubbing his hands and asking Qiongqi, "Senior, where did you hide the secret treasure?"
Qiongqi yelled at him: "I don't remember!"
Shen Musi rushed over holding Jiang Xin: “Junior sister, you come and perform the great memory recovery technique!”
What is that? I can't duck. 】
Jiang Xin was dazed when Shen Muse approached Ning Yao's chest. The cute little round face scared Qiongqi so much that his hair exploded again: "I really don't remember! I don't have it on me! If I had this thing, would I be sealed here! Little ancestor, please forgive me!"
The dignified Demon King who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage shouted so heartbreakingly that Jiang Xin felt embarrassed to exploit him.
"Forget it, forget it. If you want to hide, then go ahead. I don't mind that." Jiang Xin's power penetrated the seal and gently patted the kitten's head, not taking it to heart.
[Caring for mentally retarded and amnesiac kittens is everyone’s responsibility! 】
The rest of the people who didn't have the chance to see the Mahayana secret treasure were very disappointed.
It was a rare opportunity for Qiongqi to see a glimmer of "human light" in Jiang Xin, which gave rise to an illusion that shouldn't have existed.
He bravely asked: "How about you help me unlock the seal first, maybe I can remember something..."
