His words caused everyone present to fall into deep thought.
Especially the blond-haired old man standing to the side, he first nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with these words.
Then he thoughtfully stroked his beard.
Just then, a sudden voice, as loud as a bell, resounded throughout the entire Qilin Ancestral Land.
The voice seemed to come from the heavens above, carrying an indescribable majesty and domineering aura.
"Haha, Xiao Lin, Xiao Qi, you two old guys have finally made the second right choice!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, not only shocking all the immortal kings present, but also causing the four figures sitting in the middle to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterward, Immortal King Xiao Yun roared, "Who dares to be so bold as to trespass on my Qilin Ancestral Land!"
His voice was filled with anger and astonishment.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Lin, with his jade-white hair, suddenly waved his hand, signaling Immortal King Xiao Yun to step down.
Seeing this, Immortal King Xiao Yun was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still obeyed Xiao Lin's order and slowly retreated to the side.
Then, Xiao Lin waved his sleeve again, and a five-colored light shot out like lightning, directly entering Xiao Qi's body.
After being struck by the light, Xiao Qi's body trembled violently and began to sway as if it had lost its support.
Then, his eyes gradually closed, and soon a soft snoring sound could be heard, indicating that he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Then, Xiao Lin smiled, slowly opened his mouth, and said in a gentle and calm tone, "Yuan Shengyuan, Yuan Juechen, my two fellow Daoists, it has been several eras since we last met."
"Time flies, but today we meet again and you two are still as charming as ever."
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, everyone around him was stunned for a moment, and then someone exclaimed, "It's actually Saint Yuan Immortal King, one of the Ten Absolutes!"
Another Celestial King muttered to himself, "And Yuan Juechen... that name sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before..."
Just then, the figures of the ninth and tenth ancestors of the Yuan clan appeared suddenly in front of Xiao Lin and Xiao Qi like ghosts.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin, as the two progenitors of the Qilin clan, held an extremely revered position.
Below them were four figures, the four ancestors of the Qilin clan, all renowned figures.
At this moment, the Ninth Ancestor smiled and said to Xiao Lin, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Lin, I never expected that you would be able to take that step. This is truly a cause for celebration!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a humble smile, and he replied, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. This was merely a stroke of luck."
After a brief pause, Xiao Lin spoke again, his tone still gentle, asking, "May I ask what brings you two fellow Daoists to my Qilin Clan?"
His gaze fell on Yuan Juechen, as if waiting for the other party's answer.
Seeing this, Yuan Juechen chuckled and then said unhurriedly, "Isn't it all to protect the divine son of my clan?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing Yuan Juechen's words, both Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin's expressions changed, clearly surprised by the answer.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi quickly spoke up, "I never expected that the two of you would personally come to protect me. It seems that this Yuan Shenzi's talent and aptitude are indeed as we predicted, truly one in a million!"
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor nodded without hesitation and replied, "Indeed, this immortal's talent and aptitude are simply unprecedented and unparalleled."
"For us Yuan people, he is our root, our life!"
These words stirred up a storm in the hearts of both Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.
Although they were born at the beginning of the era of the Fallen Emperor, they knew many secrets that were unknown to others.
Hearing these words from the two ancestors of the Yuan clan proves just how crucial this divine child of the Yuan clan is to them.
Just then, Xiao Qi took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "Since it is destined that Qilinzi and Yuanshenzi have a bloodline contract, we can only accept our fate."
After saying that, he paused for a moment, and then said, "From now on, the Qilin Clan will follow the lead of your Yuan Clan and will never betray you."
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor smiled with satisfaction and laughed heartily, saying, "Haha, good! Old man, you will definitely not regret the decision you made today."
Before the words were finished, the figures of the Ninth Ancestor and the Tenth Ancestor vanished from the Qilin Ancestral Land like ghosts, as if they had never existed.
At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on a Qilin ancestor below Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin.
The Qilin ancestor spoke with a solemn expression: "Ancestor, are we really going to submit to the Yuan clan?"
His voice betrayed a hint of doubt and worry.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Lin quickly replied, "We also know some things."
"The Yuan Clan is far too ancient and far too mysterious; their foundation is far beyond your imagination."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Take Yuan Juechen for example. If it weren't for him back then, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach my current level."
Upon hearing this, the other Qilin ancestors fell into deep thought.
After a while, another Qilin ancestor seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Yuan Juechen? Could it be the legendary one?"
Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison without saying anything more.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin awakened Xiao Qi and poured the Five-Colored Divine Qilin's innate secret technique into Xiao Qi's sea of consciousness without reservation.
At the same time, he also gave some important instructions, urging Xiao Qi to do his best to assist Yuan Zhe Xian.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Yun took Xiao Qi to find Yuan Zhe Xian.
At this moment, the Prince of Qilin had also awakened. When he learned what was about to happen, he remained silent and did not express any opinion.
He simply handed over all the seals he had obtained to Yuan Zhexian without hesitation or reluctance.
Not only that, but in front of Yuan Zhexian, he once again issued a challenge, vowing that he would definitely fight Yuan Zhexian to the death when they met next.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned about such a challenge.
He slowly nodded, accepting the challenge.
Afterwards, Yuan Zhexian and Xiao Qi bid farewell to Immortal King Xiao Yun and prepared to leave Qilin Divine Mountain.
