Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 437 392: The Female Master Also Joins In

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Wu Hen hurriedly slipped into the temple.

He produced the gourd, quickly capturing Bai Ze, who was about to transform into a Taotie fierce beast.

"Keep calm," Wu Hen soothed, "If you go on a rampage now, you'll be a demon beast causing trouble in the Mortal World, not a divine manifestation."

"It's just too much! My temple is located in such a remote place, and all I get are a few incense offerings of fruits. If the Rain Temple were to go out of business, that would be one thing, but to actually give my temple to that stupid, foolish, simple-minded Qilin?" Bai Ze cursed and swore.

"Alright, alright, let's go get something good to eat," Wu Hen said.

"Don't let me find out where that Dog Qilin is living. Hmph, I'll skin it, braise its head in soy sauce, stew its hooves, fry its breast meat, spice up its backbone, and stir-fry its... eggs!" Bai Ze continued to spout insults, even from within the gourd.

Fortunately, Wu Hen was used to Bai Ze's verbal assaults. He wondered why such a beautiful voice could spew such vulgar curses, especially since it belonged to a rare Divine Beast.

"You don't understand!"

"If I don't curse, the filth remains in my heart!"

Bai Ze, now heated up, finished cursing the Qilin and began to berate Wu Hen as well.

Only then did Wu Hen remember that Bai Ze was capable of reading minds.

He reminded himself not to casually mock Bai Ze in his thoughts; otherwise, if Bai Ze encountered someone Wu Hen knew, it would vividly reveal all the evil thoughts bubbling in his heart, leading to certain social death.

"This Tongtian City is quite bustling; you can buy any kind of Immortal Brew here. Luckily, I have some savings," Wu Hen said.

"It's not in vain that I've waited for you here for so many years!"

The gourd Wu Hen bought was not the Purple Gold Gourd of the Scroll Realm; it had no restraining power over Bai Ze.

Bai Ze could crawl out of the gourd's mouth by itself. However, as a Divine Beast like Bai Ze, it could change its size at will.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Bai Ze transformed into a miniature version of itself, the size of a two- or three-month-old kitten, with snow-white feathers, a pair of sacred wings, and a long tail...

It chose not to hang from Wu Hen's waist or lie on his shoulder, but instead it perched directly on his head, settling on top of Wu Hen's skull.

When it folded its beautiful wings and settled on Wu Hen's head, it truly resembled a rather luxurious white fur hat. Bai Ze's lazy demeanor even exuded a touch of nobility, except for the white tail that hung from the back of Wu Hen's head down to his shoulders, resembling a fine braid of an Alien Race youth, and wasn't too out of place.

The weather in Tongtian City was rather cold, so Wu Hen didn't mind Bai Ze serving as his furry hat, as it was pretty warm.

It was just that Bai Ze, when not sleeping, talked too much and too incessantly.

If it were as quiet as his sister Yu Yu, it would be the most perfect Divine Beast in the world; carrying it around would be quite a status symbol.

Bai Ze, I will surely find the world's best mute medicine for you.

"Did you forget again? I can read minds. You think of finding mute medicine for me, you malicious man!" Suddenly, Bai Ze peered down, looking straight into Wu Hen's eyes.

With their gazes meeting, Wu Hen humbly averted his eyes.

"Yiyi ya ya!"

Its paws fiercely clawed at Wu Hen's head, like a mischievously playful cat scratching at turf, and nearly tore off Wu Hen's scalp.

"Better go back into the gourd."

"Hmph!"

…

Wu Hen reached the loft just as it was getting dark.

Qingxi and her disciples were already waiting there.

It was evident that they sought Wu Hen's help, but he wasn't exactly the altruistic type, always ready to assist anyone he saw.

"Have you taken care of your younger brother's matter?" Qingxi asked.

"It's taken care of. I'm hungry; let's order some dishes," Wu Hen replied.

"Would you like some drink?"

"Just a little."

Qingxi called for several pots of wine and filled up Wu Hen's cup.

She curiously inspected the white hat on Wu Hen's head, sensing something unusual and asked, "Junior Brother, that hat of yours, it's a living thing, isn't it?"

""

"Mm, it's a small auspicious creature I picked up along the way," Wu Hen said.

"It's incredibly beautiful, and not at all inferior to the totemic divine beasts in our sect," Qingxi said.

"Not easy to keep," Wu Hen said. "It's very picky about food, like a fairy, it only drinks dew and eats spirit fruit."

"Junior Brother is not familiar with Tongtian City, and finding top-grade spirit fruits is not an easy task," Qingxi said. "Why not leave this task to me and my disciples?"

Seeing Qingxi's eagerness, Wu Hen also understood she must be seeking his help for something.

However, finding offering fruits for Bai Ze was indeed a rather trivial task. Previously, when he had loved maids around, they would handle all matters of food.

"Sure," Wu Hen readily agreed.

"Then may I trouble Junior Brother to speak to Bright Venerable and mention that Qingxi has an urgent matter to report to Qilin Girl, and I hope she will grant me an audience," Qingxi said.

"Tell me the urgent matter, and when I see my sister, I'll mention it to her," Wu Hen said.

"Your sister?" Qingxi was taken aback.

"Yes, my name is Cai Ting, and Cai Lan is my second sister," Wu Hen said.

The expression on Qingxi's face changed drastically. She had been drinking some osmanthus wine, without her cheeks turning red, but now they flushed noticeably, showing her surprise and delight.

"The Qilin Girl is truly your sister?" Qingxi's voice changed, became delicate and soft, and she sat up straight involuntarily.

The female disciples around the table were all shocked, mouths agape, some in disbelief that the sweet and soft voice could come from their master's throat.

It turned out their master Qingxi could also be so ingratiating when necessary. It's just that in the past, there was no one that required her to reveal this demeanor!

"Could this be false? Didn't you see me standing with Shou Tian Ming Venerate? Otherwise, with his temper, why would he be so polite to me?" Wu Hen raised an eyebrow and said.

Qingxi suddenly realized that indeed, at that time, this man and Ming Venerate were standing in front of Yun Mansion, and she herself lingered in the outskirts with no right to approach, while the two of them were talking inside!

So he was the brother of Qilin Girl. Then her own kin might be saved.

"I will then tell Junior Brother exactly what I have encountered, and I hope Junior Brother will surely help me!" Qingxi immediately performed a grand bow.

"Please speak, Senior Sister."

"I took my kin on an experience outside, setting up an outer sect, and after great difficulty, we made different clans honor our Holy Sect. But overnight, the powers around us all disappeared. My kin and I had to risk investigating... And during the search for the cause, the experts among my kin also vanished!" Qingxi said.

"Did they suddenly vanish, or were they eradicated?" Wu Hen asked.

"They are still alive, but there's no difference from being dead, as they've been captured by a Hell City of the Da Xuan Dynasty. I don't know what evil cultivation method they've mastered, but they're using us cultivators as the spiritual energy supply for their Hell City. In our cultivation field, this is outright evil cultivation sacrifice!" Qingxi said with some agitation.

Wu Hen too was taken aback upon hearing this!

Hell Nine-Headed City dared to go so far, to capture members of the Holy Sect to use as biological batteries?

Was Wei Yan really planning to step onto the path of the evil supreme, not even regarding the Holy Sect at all??

"Senior Sister, this matter is no small matter," Wu Hen said.

"Yes, it's a challenge to our entire Cultivation Realm, a cruel and evil deed against the Human Clan, against Heavenly Dao. I reported this to the Outer Patrol Ming Venerable, but I don't know if that Ming Venerable is too cowardly or has been bought by people from the Da Xuan Dynasty. They actually told me not to make a fuss and act as if nothing had happened... I felt something was wrong with this Outer Patrol Ming Venerable, and I fled with my disciples overnight, rushing back to Tongtian City without daring to stop for a moment to report to Qilin Girl," Qingxi said.

"How many people have you lost in total?" Wu Hen inquired.

"Around forty, but they are all members of the Outer Country... I know, Qilin Girl is busy with many affairs, and we disciples of the Outer Countries do not catch her eye, and even if a thousand such disciples were lost in a battle, she wouldn't care. But what I see is that the leader of that Hell City wants to use our Holy Sect members as fodder for the city. Somewhere unknown to us, who knows how many of our Holy Sect's members have been harmed. If we don't stop them in time, by the time they grow stronger, it will be even harder for us to deal with them," Qingxi said.

Wu Hen was surprised. Qingxi had a good sense of crisis.

After Cang Chu God had mastered the technology of biological batteries, his first course of action was to capture the cultivators of the Cang Chu Divine Realm. Each cultivator had absorbed nature's spiritual energy and had refined themselves into extraordinary lives aspiring to ascend toward the Divine Realm, their bodies containing vast amounts of energy, equivalent to purified Dark Energy.

During the process of capturing cultivators en masse, people from the Holy Sect could not escape unscathed.

Qingxi was indeed a victim.

However, the matter had not attracted much attention in the Holy Sect.

"I understand. You are worried they will grow stronger and threaten the entire Holy State, and that is why you want Qilin Girl to act, to wipe them out promptly and nip them in the bud?" Wu Hen said.

"Yes, Junior Brother, I am also considering the whole Holy Sect," Qingxi said.

"I will mention this matter, as to what measures she will take, I cannot say," Wu Hen said.

"We must inform Qilin Girl about this. After all, the Da Xuan Dynasty is the one threatening us this time. Perhaps this is the great weapon the Da Xuan Dynasty has developed targeting our Holy Sect. We cannot allow them to grow strong; the most important thing is, this will harm I don't know how many innocent lives," Qingxi said solemnly.

Wu Hen nodded. If Hell Nine-Headed City could be suppressed through the intervention of the Totem Sacred Sect, that would be the best course of action. Otherwise, as time passed, Hell Nine-Headed City would become more and more terrifying, evolving into a monstrous presence in the Cang Chu Divine Realm, risking trouble even for Nuwa God End. They were also very interested in ancient technology.
