It will probably take some time for the miasma in the Shiwan Mountains to completely dissipate.

Therefore, Long Xiaoqi took everyone back to the Donghuang Sect’s headquarters first.

The five people left Dali City and continued to fly northwest on their swords. Soon they saw the clouds in the distance turning crimson, which was softer than the color of the sunset glow, and was enchantingly beautiful, making people dizzy at the sight of it.

That is the "peach blossom miasma" that is spread all over the Shiwanda Mountains.

Speaking of miasma, Wei Dongliu remembered Luo Yan's original sword "Taohua". It was said that it was forged by the eldest senior brother using the miasma collected from southern Xinjiang. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave, it was smashed to pieces by the ghost dragon in order to save himself.

What a pity!

When we reached the edge of the miasma, we heard Long Xiaoqi say:

"Stay close to me, don't go too far, or you'll inhale the miasma and be hard to save."

So the four of them approached Long Xiaoqi, and Witch Jiang stuck directly to Wei Dongliu and said with a smile:

"Friend Wei, please stay close to me, or you'll inhale the miasma and it will be bad."

"I'll stick with Xiaoqi." Wei Dongliu approached Long Xiaoqi calmly.

Jiang Li’an: ???

She wanted to curse, but since she was good at managing her emotions, she showed a resentful expression.

Wei Dongliu walked past Witch Jiang and came to the side of Long Xiaoqi, only to see that the girl did not react at all. She just muttered something and cast a few spells forward. Then the peach blossom miasma slowly dissipated, revealing a narrow passage.

"It's only this wide at most," she whispered to everyone.

"I see." Wen Yang clapped his hands and said, "It's enough for a few people to pass through, but it's not enough to explore the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"That's why we have to wait for the miasma to dissipate." Jiang Li'an echoed.

Wei Dongliu said nothing, but just stared at Long Xiaoqi's back and asked Kunlun Mirror:

"Ajing, is she?"

"Yes." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"Do you think I have a connection with the dragon clan?" Wei Dongliu asked curiously, "Ling Yunpo, Qiu Changtian, Luo Yan, and now me, have all dealt with the dragon clan."

"The dragon clan is the ancestor of all monsters." Qingping Sword said, "Snake bodies, deer horns, cow ears, goat whiskers, eagle claws, fish scales, all the monsters in the world have their bloodlines from here."

"You always deal with the dragon clan because each of your characters has reached a relatively high level in the world of cultivation."

Wei Dongliu thought about it carefully and had to admit that it was true.

Qiu Changtian, Ling Yunpo, and Luo Yan correspond to Kunlun Taiqing Sect, Shushan Shangqing Sect, and Penglai Yuqing Temple respectively.

The Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect are already the three giants in the world of cultivation. In addition, the three characters are all doing well in the sect, so it is not surprising that they can come into contact with the dragon clan.

Even with Wei Dongliu's identity, he was still dealing with many new and powerful people in the Demon Cult.

Jiang Li'an, Wen Yang, Gu Lie, which one is the easiest one to deal with in his own sect?

It turned out that my ability was too outstanding! I didn't go looking for the dragons on purpose, but the dragons rushed towards me enthusiastically like moths to a flame!

"Yes." Kunlun Jing smiled and said, "Last time, they were chased by the dragons and had to flee everywhere. If I hadn't helped to teleport away the roadblocks, they would have almost died in the underwater cave."

"Shut up, Broken Mirror!" Wei Dongliu said shamelessly, "The fate with the enemy is also a kind of fate. Why don't you say that being able to meet an enemy of Guilong's level is the best proof of my outstanding ability?"

"Indeed." Qing Ping Jian also smiled and said, "The key point is that he really managed to escape from the opponent. If it were any other normal Huafu-level cultivator, it would be impossible for him to do that."

Kunlun Jing really wanted to emphasize again that "I was the one who saved his life", but after thinking about it, he realized that no matter how much he boasted about his achievements, he would only get a few comments like "broken mirror", so he simply kept silent and sulked.

After walking in the Ten Thousand Mountains for three days and three nights, they finally arrived at the headquarters of Donghuang Dao - Yulong Mountain.

The vegetation in front of him gradually became sparse, and was replaced by endless snow-capped mountains, which made Wei Dongliu feel as if he had returned to Kunlun.

However, there are almost no trees in the Kunlun Mountains. It's either snow or bare rocks, with some low shrubs at most.

The climate on the Yulong Mountain side is much milder. There are snow-capped mountains at high altitudes, meadows below, and boreal coniferous forests below. At the foot of the mountain, it becomes a temperate broad-leaved forest. There are also many glacial lakes and non-frozen lakes in between. The landscape levels can be said to be extremely clear.

As the temperature dropped near the foot of the mountain, the peach blossom miasma also faded away.

Everyone simply flew up their swords and followed Long Xiaoqi all the way up the mountain.

After flying over several mountaintops, you can see the magnificent Donghuang Temple standing on the highest peak of Yulong Snow Mountain.

The Donghuang Temple, known as the "Demon-Suppressing Palace" in ancient times, is a prehistoric relic comparable to the "Demon-Locking Tower" of Shushan.

However, according to records, the two have different functions. The former is a frontline military base to fight against the demons, while the latter is a prison cell for holding demon prisoners.

However, after the subsequent war between Chan and Jie, the Jie sect was defeated and disintegrated, and the Demon-Suppressing Palace fell into decline and abandonment, and was even looted many times, no longer having the glory it once was.

During the heyday of the Beast Taming School, the Demon Cult monks tried to repair the internal functions of the Demon Suppression Palace. However, they were suppressed by Shushan for many years, and their sphere of influence was limited to southern Xinjiang. They were completely powerless in terms of both resources and manpower.

Later, the Beast Taming Sect suddenly declined and was replaced by the East Emperor Sect. The "Demon Suppression Palace" left by the ancient human race was also changed into the incongruous "East Emperor Temple", which was a great pity for the entire cultivation world.

Well, considering the rumor that "Donghuang Dao had actually been infiltrated by the demon clan a long time ago", and analyzing it in combination with Long Xiaoqi's identity, it's a bit terrifying to think about it more deeply.

When they arrived at the gate of Donghuang Temple, they saw a strange beast lying lazily in the square in front of the palace.

I saw that the strange beast had four legs, a strong body, a sheep's head and wolf hooves, its fur was covered with colorful patterns, and it was about 12 feet tall. At this moment, it was taking a nap with its head buried in its two front legs.

"This is Master Qilin." Long Xiaoqi introduced calmly, "He has been lying here since he came from the Beast Taming Sect. He never responds to anyone. No matter who calls him, he doesn't respond."

"Could it be because of the deep sleep all year round?" Witch Jiang asked curiously. She fully understood the idea of ​​"not wanting to be disturbed when sleeping soundly".

"No." Long Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "It was actually pretending to be asleep. It could hear us talking, but it just didn't want to pay attention to us."

"Many times in the past, the Beast Taming Sect was attacked before the Divine Palace. This Qilin Master would open his eyes, stand up, and run to a place not affected by the war to continue taking a nap."

Everyone: ...

So this beast is not the guardian beast of the sect, but just a stray beast that refuses to leave, right?

Wei Dongliu looked at Qilin who was dozing with his eyes closed, curled his lips slightly, and suddenly remembered the stray cat who lingered at his doorstep in his previous life.

Then, Qilin opened his eyes.

Its eyes are as big as copper bells and bright yellow, but unlike a dragon, they do not carry the majesty and murderous aura of a superior predator. Instead, they have a sense of calmness and seeing through the vicissitudes of life.

"What's your name?" Qilin asked slowly.

Its voice was like the evening drum and the morning bell, with a deep tone and a certain slowness that is unique to old people. Its eyes were fixed on Wei Dongliu, and it was obvious who it was asking about.

Everyone present fell silent, their expressions complicated for a moment. And in Wei Dongliu's mind, Kunlun Mirror's exclamation suddenly rang out:

"The synchronization value is increasing too fast! I won't report it! Just keep it in mind!"

"I'm Wei Dongliu." He quickly calmed his thoughts and said with a bow.

"Oh." Qilin leaned over and seemed to... sniff at him?

"I remember." It said in a flat voice, slowly buried its head in its forelimbs and closed its eyes.
