"I, the old servant Juedang, pay my respects to the young master. I have offended the young master before and deserve to die. I hope the young master will forgive me this time because I have waited for you for more than a hundred thousand years." While the little auspicious beast was in a daze, the old man turned over, knelt in front of it, and said with tears in his eyes.
"Waiting for more than a hundred thousand years?" Although Mu Hanyan and others didn't know what he meant by the young master, they understood what he meant by more than a hundred thousand years and were all shocked.
Although it had been obvious that he was extremely old and had long since reached the end of his powers, no one had expected him to be so old. Even if a human cultivator broke through the bottleneck of Sword Saint and repeatedly surpassed the limit of their lifespan, their lifespan would only be a few thousand years. Some exotic beasts, with their extraordinary talents, could live longer, but only for tens of thousands of years. How could he possibly live for a hundred thousand years?
If his cloudy eyes were not filled with tears and his wrinkled face was not full of misery, without any pretense, everyone would have suspected that he was beaten too badly and was talking nonsense.
"What are you talking about?" The little auspicious beast looked at him blankly, with a confused look on his face.
"Old slave, I have been waiting for the young master for more than 100,000 years. I hope the young master will understand my painstaking efforts and forgive my previous disrespect." The old man repeated.
"Oh, I don't know what you are talking about. I'm sleepy. Let me take a nap first." The little auspicious beast's eyes were hazy. As he spoke, he stood up, twisted his round buttocks to Mu Hanyan's legs, pulled her trouser legs and climbed up. However, he fell asleep with his eyes closed, making bursts of sweet snoring sounds when he climbed to her knees.
Uh… Zhuang Ping'an and the others, finally regaining their composure, stared blankly at the piglet dangling from Mu Hanyan's trouser leg, soundly asleep. Could this pig-like creature really be the powerful sword pet that had just thrashed the old beast so fiercely that it couldn't even fight back?
The old man was also stunned for a long time, and then he tentatively said to Mu Hanyan: "My lady, is my young master your sword pet?"
"Junior Mu Hanyan, greetings to Senior Juedang. It is indeed my sword pet." Although the old man no longer had the hostility he had before and was even particularly respectful, Mu Hanyan did not dare to be arrogant and saluted modestly.
"I didn't expect that you could make the young master of my Qilin clan recognize you as his master. This old servant, Juedang, pays homage to the master. I hope you can forgive my previous disrespect." In fact, Mu Hanyan didn't need to say much. The old man could also see the contractual relationship between her and the little auspicious beast. The previous question was just to confirm it. Upon hearing this, he knelt down and saluted Mu Hanyan.
"Qilin clan, you said you are from the Qilin clan!" Mu Hanyan was so shocked that she even forgot to help the old man up.
Zhuang Ping'an and others had finally managed to close their jaws, but were once again shocked and unable to close them again.
It’s actually the Qilin clan!
The Qilin clan, like the four fierce beasts Taowu, Qiongqi, and others, is also a legendary ancient mythical beast, but it is far more powerful and mysterious than the four fierce beasts. If there is a hierarchy among the mythical beasts, then the four fierce beasts can only be considered ordinary people among the mythical beasts, while the Qilin is a well-deserved royal family.
The legendary Qilin, a mythical beast, exists within the laws of nature yet transcends them, its transcendent status unmatched by any other mythical beast. However, according to legend, the Qilin clan left the Holy Court Continent millions of years ago. While legends often circulate about the auspicious auspiciousness of a Qilin's birth, no actual historical records exist.
No one had expected that the old man transformed from the strange beast in front of them was actually a descendant of the Qilin clan. Of course, what was even more unexpected was that Mu Hanyan's sword pet, which looked as cute as a piglet, was also a descendant of the Qilin clan.
"Actually, I can't be considered a complete member of the Qilin clan. My bloodline is not pure. He is the real Qilin clan, and he is the royal family of the Qilin clan." Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, the old strange beast Juedang felt a little embarrassed and explained again.
"Oh, is it really from the Qilin clan?" Mu Hanyan looked at the small auspicious beast dangling from her trouser leg in confusion. She couldn't see how it resembled the legendary Qilin. It was just the incredible good fortune she'd had when she first acquired it, which had some auspicious auras.
"Master, please don't underestimate him. The young master's Qilin blood was damaged when he was lost on the continent, so he can't restore his true Qilin body. But his bloodline is the purest Qilin bloodline." Juedang said hurriedly.
"What's this Lost Continent? And what about the injured Qilin soul?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously. She only knew that the Qilin clan had left the Sacred Continent a million years ago, but she didn't know why. After hearing Juedang's words, it seemed there was more to the story.
"I don't know the exact details of what happened, but I've heard some things from my ancestors. It's said that a million years ago, Emperor Aolai unified the beast tribes and became the supreme ruler of all beasts. Although our Qilin clan is as powerful as Aolai, we have always been peaceful, so we also respect him as our king. However, it was precisely because of this incident that our Qilin clan suffered a devastating disaster and was forced to leave the Holy Continent.
During their migration, the Qilin Clan was hunted by powerful enemies and nearly wiped out. In a critical moment, even the Young Master's Qilin Bloodline was damaged, leaving him stranded on the Sacred Continent. After the entire clan had settled, my great-great-grandfather was ordered to return to the Sacred Continent to search for the Young Master. However, the Sacred Continent was vast, and the Young Master's Qilin Bloodline was severely damaged. My great-great-grandfather searched for most of his life, but to no avail. He left his bloodline descendants to continue the search.
In fact, it's not just me. All the exotic beasts in the entire Spirit Beast Fantasy Realm can be considered descendants of the Qilin clan. Our innate mission is to find the Young Master." At the end, Jue Dang's face was solemn and dignified.
Mu Hanyan then realized that the Qilin Clan's departure from the Sacred Continent was due to Aolai's involvement. Mu Hanyan's mind once again replayed the scene of the mysterious woman (presumably her own past life) being assassinated and killed, and the Aolai beast's grief-stricken cry at her death.
If I'm not mistaken, the Qilin Clan wasn't implicated by the Aolai beast, but rather by that mysterious woman, leading to their fate. They were ultimately forced to leave their homeland, with their young master even suffering severe injuries and left stranded on the Holy Court Continent. This wasn't surprising. Although they never saw who had plotted against her, any ordinary expert wouldn't even have been qualified to do so. Since he could pull it off, he must have been quite powerful. The Qilin Clan was lucky not to have been wiped out.
