Chapter 137: This Junior, Xuanxian, Has Come to Pay Respect to the Qilin Race

The Thirty-Third Heaven, God-Making Mountain Range.

Several figures were currently pursuing an Immortal Monarch. That Immortal Monarch was in an extremely wretched state, and those giving chase were all Immortal Monarchs as well. Most importantly, all of them were Immortal Monarchs of the Qilin Race.

“Stop, you little thief! Hand over the Qiankun Pearl we had our eyes on!”

“Stop right there! Making an enemy of our Qilin Race is simply courting death!”

The three Immortal Monarchs of the Qilin Race behind her shouted angrily.

The one they were pursuing was a human Immortal Monarch.

Zhao Ling’er’s expression was ugly. She gripped the golden pearl tightly in her hand, unwilling to hand it over.

“The Qiankun Pearl was ownerless. It belongs to whoever is capable enough to obtain it. What right do you have to make me hand it over?”

“Then why are you running? If you have the ability, stop and fight us one-on-one!”

The Immortal Monarchs of the Qilin Race roared angrily.

But Zhao Ling’er only kept fleeing and did not stop.

That was because she knew very clearly in her heart that if she stopped, they would absolutely swarm her together. There was no possibility of a one-on-one duel.

At that moment, a pressure descended. The surrounding space-time froze, and the four Immortal Monarchs’ faces filled with terror.

At this moment, only their thoughts could still function. Everything else was completely unable to move.

Before they could react, Lu Xunxian appeared in front of Zhao Ling’er. He extended a finger and lightly tapped Zhao Ling’er’s forehead, quickly figuring out the distribution of forces in the Thirty-Third Heaven.

After the Soul Search ended, the pressure controlling Zhao Ling’er and the other three also dissipated.

Zhao Ling’er and the three Qilins looked at Lu Xunxian with grave expressions.

Someone who could control them in an instant and leave them without even the slightest ability to resist had to be at least a mighty figure above the Immortal Venerable Realm.

However, the Qilin Race had always been arrogant and domineering. Let alone an Immortal Venerable, even an Immortal Emperor would not make them too concerned.

“Senior, this person stole our treasure. Please give our Qilin Race some face and step aside.”

The leading Qilin had confidence backing him. He was Lin Yuan, the child of the Qilin Race’s Second Elder.

The confidence his father gave him left Lin Yuan with no misgivings.

But he had clearly provoked the wrong person. Lu Xunxian merely glanced at him coldly, and in an instant, a terrifying pressure descended, suppressing Lin Yuan onto the ground.

“So, are you threatening This Venerable One?”

“I would not dare. But I still ask Senior to think twice.”

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and spoke.

He did not think Lu Xunxian would dare kill him. The Qilin Race was a powerful race ranked among the top three of the Ten Great Races. As long as Lu Xunxian was somewhat powerful, he would definitely understand the pros and cons.

But Lu Xunxian had no fear at all. With a raise of his hand, he controlled Lin Yuan and made him stand.

“Let us go. It just so happens that I also have some business with your Qilin Race. You can serve as my Mount.”

After saying that, Lu Xunxian sat familiarly on Lin Yuan’s back and controlled Lin Yuan to rush toward the Qilin Race.

The remaining two Qilins’ expressions turned ugly, but they could only hurry after him.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling’er finally let out a sigh of relief. Although she did not know who Lu Xunxian was, he had saved her life, so she ought to properly thank him.

It was just a pity that he had humiliated the Qilin Race like this and had even ridden a Qilin toward the Qilin Race. Even if he was an Immortal Emperor, he would undoubtedly die.

“Fortunately, at least the Qiankun Pearl is still in my hand.”

Zhao Ling’er could not help letting out a sigh of relief, but the instant she raised her hand, her entire body froze in place.

Her left hand was completely empty. Where was there any trace of the Qiankun Pearl?

When she looked toward Lu Xunxian not far away, she saw that he was playing with a small golden pearl in his right hand. It was none other than Zhao Ling’er’s Qiankun Pearl.

“This is a good thing. It can accelerate the refinement of Immortal Qi and stabilize the mind. It just happens to be suitable as a gift for my daughter.”

Lu Xunxian thought to himself.

Zhao Ling’er had survived through his intervention, so there was no problem with him taking the Qiankun Pearl, right?

Very soon, Lu Xunxian arrived at the Qilin Race’s territory while riding the Qilin.

As one of the Ten Great Races of the Immortal Realm, the Qilin Race’s strength naturally could not be underestimated. Their clan territory was located within a Small World.

Although it was called a Small World, its grandeur did not lose out to any Heaven.

At this moment, inside the Qilin Race.

Six massive Qilins were standing in the air, discussing important matters of the Qilin Race.

“Elders, what are your views on the matter of the Lu Family of the Dao Realm?”

A Qilin whose horns shone with dazzling golden light spoke in a grave tone.

He was none other than the Clan Chief of the Qilin Race, Lin Wangu.

As Lin Wangu spoke, the other five elders’ expressions all became grave.

They were all existences above the Late Immortal Emperor Realm.

Within the Qilin Race, only Qilins above the Late Immortal Emperor Realm were qualified to serve as elders.

As for the Clan Chief, he was an even more terrifying existence at the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

“Clan Chief, we need to consider this matter carefully. After all, the Lu Family could destroy our Qilin Race with a raise of their hand.”

The Grand Elder of the Qilin Race slowly spoke.

As mighty figures at the Late Immortal Emperor Realm, they naturally knew that the Immortal Emperor Realm was not the summit of the path of cultivation.

Above Immortal was Dao.

But how difficult was it for an Immortal to cultivate into the Dao?

Thus, even in the Dao Realm, forces were extremely few. Since the Lu Family was one of them, its strength was naturally more than ten thousand times greater than an Immortal Realm force like the Qilin Race.

“In short, search throughout the Immortal Realm for now. The commotion from a Newly Advanced Immortal Emperor will definitely not be small. If we can find that person and send them back to the Lu Family...”

“Our Qilin Race may be rewarded for it, and perhaps we may even step into the Dao Realm.”

The other elders also nodded in agreement one after another.

Although their Qilin Race was arrogant, domineering, and proud, when faced with absolute strength, they were still willing to submit.

Seeing that none of the clan members objected, Lin Wangu spoke.

“In that case, pass down the order. Search the Immortal Realm for that Newly Advanced Immortal Emperor.”

“Whoever can find that person will be granted one drop of Progenitor Blood!”

Upon hearing Lin Wangu’s words, the elders present immediately lost their composure.

Progenitor Blood referred to the blood of the Qilin Progenitor.

The Qilin Progenitor was the first Qilin born when heaven and earth first opened, but he had fallen in that Ancient War.

However, the Qilin Race had preserved the Progenitor’s blood.

According to legend, the Progenitor was an existence above the Immortal Emperor Realm, a terrifying being who had already stepped into the Dao.

If one could refine the Progenitor’s blood, one’s cultivation would definitely step into the Immortal Venerable Realm. It might not even be impossible to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm as a result.

Thinking this, the five elders immediately became restless.

Although they could not use it themselves, that did not mean they could not seize it for their own juniors.

Although the Qilin Race was incomparably united, there were still numerous branches within the clan. Naturally, they wanted their own juniors to become stronger.

Just as they spread the news and were even planning to personally search for that Newly Advanced Immortal Emperor, they heard a voice coming from outside.

“This Junior, Xuanxian, Has Come to Pay Respect to the Qilin Race!”
