The current situation has exceeded his expectations and the expectations of the elders of the Wu family. If he continues to hide it, it may not only harm Mu Hanyan, but also himself.
Compared with other arrogant and conceited children of large families, Wu Qiyun's character is much calmer, more sober, and more able to recognize the situation.
"Ancient mythical beast!" Mu Hanyan took a breath of cold air.
Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, in ancient times, the Holy Court continent was not only teeming with powerful individuals, but also boasted countless ferocious beasts and birds, far more powerful than the exotic beasts of today. There's even a theory that today's beasts are the descendants of those ancient beasts, their impure bloodlines limiting their wisdom and strength.
The so-called strange beasts are the result of the awakening of the ancient blood in their bodies. The supernatural powers they possess are just the tip of the iceberg of the powerful supernatural powers of their ancient ancestors. From this, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful the ancient beasts in the legend are.
The ancient mythical beasts are the most powerful and top-level existences among them, such as the legendary dragon clan, which is one of them.
Mu Hanyan never imagined that the purpose of Qu Fengting and Wu Qiyun's trip was actually related to the ancient mythical beast.
"Hundreds of years ago, the elders of my Wu and Qu families also participated in the trials of the Valley of Strange Beasts. In a crevice on the cliff, they discovered ancient characters that had long been lost. They were overjoyed and explored along the crevice, only to discover the ruins of an ancient palace. It exuded an extremely terrifying aura of oppression, and there were obvious seals surrounding it.
The senior from my Wu family was a ninth-rank swordsman at the time, and he was so shocked by the pressure that he became uneasy. He wanted to calm down for a while and then go to investigate carefully, but he didn't expect that the senior from the Qu family who was traveling with him would suddenly attack him and seriously injure him.
In desperation, the Wu ancestor gave up his treasure hunt and escaped. However, according to him, the Qu family member didn't benefit either. Shortly after he injured our Wu ancestor and entered the palace, he triggered the seal protecting the palace. In an instant, the mountain shook, the earth trembled, and sand and rocks flew everywhere. He himself was severely injured by the seal and escaped through the crevice.
Because of their severe injuries, the two were rescued from the Valley of Exotic Beasts, but the secret of the palace was never revealed to anyone else. "Wu Qiyun said seriously.
"Then how did he know it was related to the ancient mythical beast?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously. She secretly complained in her heart, no wonder the two people from the Qu family she met were so ugly and had bad personalities. It turned out that their roots were not right.
"When he was young, he traveled to the capital and had the honor of witnessing the majesty of the Royal Griffin. According to him, the pressure emanating from the ancient palace is very similar to that of a griffin, but it is hundreds or thousands of times stronger. To be honest, the Royal Griffin is the most top-notch exotic beast in our Holy Court Continent, but the pressure is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than it. He can't think of any other possibility except the ancient mythical beast." Wu Qiyun replied.
Mu Hanyan thought of the griffin she had auctioned off. She only remembered that it was enormous and fierce-looking, looking rather intimidating, yet she felt no sense of pressure. But then again, it wasn't a true griffin to begin with, originally containing half quail blood, so it was normal for it to lack any pressure.
"Because the Wu family's ancestor was ambushed and severely injured by the Qu family and escaped early, he couldn't be sure what the seal in the palace was. However, based on the strength of the seal, he guessed that it would automatically open in a few hundred years. Therefore, for many years, our Wu family has been closely monitoring the Qu family's movements.
This time, the Qu family sent Qu Fengting to participate in the trials of the Valley of Exotic Beasts. Others don't understand why, but we know the Qu family is definitely after the sealed object in the palace." Having said that, Wu Qiyun didn't hold back and revealed everything he knew.
