The scene changed. After his consciousness left that space, Yun Xi returned to the small courtyard, but what he saw was a different scene from before.
The same layout, but the skeletons have disappeared without a trace. They are replaced by about twenty figures. These figures are all humanoid, but more than half of them have two horns on their heads.
This horn is as delicate and beautiful as antlers, and is particularly attractive.
Yun Xi stood in the crowd and looked at them with a slight expression on his face: "These people are... the Qilin tribe?"
She clenched her fists tightly, and the pain in her body did not dissipate just because she returned to the courtyard. Qi Qing said that the floating island was just a dream, so she should have been just a conscious body at the time.
And the pain in the conscious body continues to this day, which means that I have not left the dream, but just changed the scene.
She walked through the crowd and found that these Qilin people could not see her at all, and she could not contact them.
Just when she was wondering about the reason for this illusion, an anxious shout came from the entrance of the yard.
"Clan leader! Clan leader! We are coming! Other races are coming!"
Yun Xi turned her head and saw a figure running in staggeringly. This person was covered in blood and the scars on his body showed what he had experienced before.
And as his voice came, the surrounding Qilin disciples also stood up one after another.
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out.
The moment Yun Xi saw this man, her eyes flashed slightly. This man was Qi Qing who had given her the inheritance before.
Qi Qing looked at the injured people, his eyebrows lowered.
Around him, other people of the Qilin tribe looked at Qi Qing, and someone whispered: "Chief..."
Qi Qing sighed slightly and said: "This day will eventually come, let's face it."
"Yes!"
And the moment their voices just fell, a roar came from the passage, and dozens of figures walked in.
The leader was a beautiful woman in a snow-white dress. She and Qi Qing looked at each other, and both of them were silent for a moment.
The first person to speak was not the woman, but Qi Qing. He looked at the figures behind the woman and asked, "Is the battle outside over?"
The woman said calmly: "The Tengu and the Jiaolong have been destroyed. The Green Dragon and the Phoenix can't hold on for long. You are the only ones left."
Qi Qing said with a complicated expression: "So you three tribes have been cooperating from the beginning, right? How smart... you actually deceived us all."
The woman's eyes turned slightly to the side, but soon she looked directly into Qi Qing's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, but we have no choice. The spiritual power in the Demon Lord Tower has been exhausted. You and I both understand that if this continues,
We will all face the fate of annihilation. Now that the exit is about to be opened, the remaining power can only be used by the three tribes to get out. In the face of life and death, we can only do this."
Qi Qing smiled slightly: "Aren't you worried that after you lose, we will replace you and leave here?"
The woman's dress fluttered, and the eight fox tails behind her spread out like lotus flowers, fluttering slowly, and a powerful aura swayed in this space.
"From the moment I made my choice, there was no turning back. Over the years, we have all witnessed the demise of one race after another. You should understand that we must choose one between leaving or dying."
Qi Qing's robes began to flutter and make hunting noises. He said with emotion: "Actually, we are also very curious about what the outside world is like!"
"Roar!!"
With a roar, Yun Xi saw Qi Qing's figure suddenly increase in size at this moment, and directly transformed into a huge Qilin beast. Among his beasts, all the disciples of the Qilin clan also transformed into their own bodies, with spiritual power in their bodies.
He burst out and rushed towards the members of the Snow Fox Clan!
The monsters of the Snow Fox Tribe also turned into snow foxes in an instant, but the Qilin Tribe fought together.
In a small courtyard, dozens of divine beasts above the Luck Spirit were fighting each other. In the Demon Lord Tower with exhausted spiritual power, every time they made a move, it meant that their power would be weakened.
Yun Xi was stunned on the spot, watching the blood spattering as these monsters fell one after another in the brutal fight. She immediately understood where the bones she saw when she first came in came from.
Like an immersive movie, Yun Xi could not feel the powerful aura bursting out of the bodies of these powerful men of various races. She could only watch their constant battles like watching a movie, watching the continuous reduction of these mythical beasts,
Watching the Qilin tribe being wiped out by the Snow Fox tribe.
So bloody, so vicious.
Qi Qing told her that unicorns are auspicious beasts. They can bring wealth to the land and bring new life to the poor and sick. However, in the face of the desperate life-and-death fights of other mythical beasts, they cannot turn defeat into victory.
The trees in the courtyard fell down, blood flowed on the ground, dyeing the white pebbles red, and the calm stream also put on new clothes.
There is only one Qilin left in the Qilin tribe, Qi Qing, who still persists.
It stood in the forest, its majestic body covered with scars. It looked around, and its people were all lying quietly on the ground, with no breath in their noses.
From this moment on, it is the last member of the Qilin tribe.
Opposite it, the Snow Fox Clan is not having a good time. There were more than 30 snow foxes when they came, but now there are less than 20 left. The leader of the Snow Fox Clan has lost two of his eight tails. The overall atmosphere is...
They are all gradually sluggish.
Qi Qing raised his head and looked at them.
The leader of the Snow Fox clan also looked at her calmly.
After the two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, Qi Qing turned to look not far away, where there was a stone sculpture that was cut into two pieces in the previous battle.
"That's the stone sculpture of Lord Demon Lord..." he said sadly.
The leader of the Snow Fox clan replied: "After I take the Snow Fox clan out and settle down, I will go to the Demon Lord to apologize."
Qi Qing smiled, stepped forward, the hair on his body flew, and his flesh and blood burned like flames.
"Let's go. When the sky fell, our race should have been extinct. It is unbelievable that we can live for two million years relying on the Demon Lord Tower. Now that the road to new life has begun, I ask you to take our place.
Let’s go see the outside world.”
Qi Qing held his head high and looked so majestic under the rising flames. Under the gaze of the Snow Fox clan, he took the initiative to end his own life.
The leader of the Snow Fox clan watched his life disappear, his sky-blue eyes revealing a hint of sadness, but in the end he turned around resolutely and left with the remaining clan members.
The Qilin Clan is gone, but at least the Snow Fox Clan still retains some blood.
Yun Xi stood quietly, looking at the corpses on the ground and the cruel scene of rivers of blood, slightly lost in thought.
She knew that what she saw should be Qi Qing's memory. She had obtained his inheritance and was influenced by some other aspects and saw this scene.
Qi Qing had expected this to happen, so she told herself not to bear grudges against the Snow Fox Clan for this. Of course she would not bear grudges, because she was able to enter the Demon Lord's Secret Realm because of the Snow Fox Clan, and because of the peaceful relationship between the Snow Fox Clan and
Her best friend from the demon clan.
She doesn't hold a grudge, she just feels a little emotional.
After all, these races were all companions who escaped natural disasters back then. Who would have thought that many years later, the monster race that once survived together would start killing each other in pursuit of that glimmer of hope.
There is no right or wrong in this matter. In a life-and-death situation, even Yun Xi will not be merciful.
This is not their problem, it is the tragedy of the times.
She raised her head, and the pain in her consciousness gradually increased, but she was indifferent. After so many years of practice, this was not the first time she had endured hardship. This pain was nothing compared to the heart-exploding feeling she felt in the Hanming Mountains.
Fear.
"How many people living in today's society can realize how happy and lucky they are?"
Yun Xi murmured in a low voice, and her consciousness disappeared again.
……
Whoa!
Her eyes suddenly opened. This time, Yun Xi opened her eyes and saw the majestic skeleton in front of her. She knew that she was really back this time.
There was a pain in her mind. She did not look at anything else. Instead, she floated on the spot and meditated, with her spiritual consciousness restrained. She found that in her sea of consciousness, a small golden bead was spinning slowly, with a beautiful unicorn picture on it.
Pattern.
And my own sea of consciousness was turbulent because of the rotation of the golden beads, and even the dream sleeping in the purple seal was awakened.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Yimeng, who was hiding in the purple seal to recuperate, jumped out. The turmoil in the sea of consciousness was clearly transmitted to its perception. The golden bead exuded some unknown aura that made it feel afraid.
"This, what is this?"
It asked Yun Xi loudly.
Yun Xi was controlling her sea of consciousness at this time, trying hard to adapt to the existence of this bead. When she heard Yimeng's inquiry, she replied after a brief pause of thought: "Kilin Bead."
"Qilin Pearl? Qilin?"
Yimeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
"I'll tell you later, don't disturb me yet."
Yun Xi's spiritual consciousness was running, and her strong willpower was like a mountain suppressing it, and she quickly stabilized the unicorn bead.
Yimeng felt the vast and firm willpower in the sea of consciousness, and consciously got back into the purple seal. The recovery of its mental power was not enough, and it needed to continue to rest.
……
……
When Yun Xi was going through all this, Bai Qing, who had parted ways with her, also came to a whole new world at this moment.
It was the top of a snow-capped mountain, surrounded by white snow, and the rocks were so thick that no one could see them. There were floating clouds and mist near the top of the mountain. When the clouds and mist dissipated, it would be no exaggeration to say that you could overlook the world.
Bai Qing did not overlook it. On the contrary, it was raising its head and staring blankly ahead.
The white snow is fluttering, the white skirt is dancing lightly, and a beautiful and delicate figure stands on the top of the mountain. Her back is to Bai Qing, looking at the sea of clouds and the earth.
"I thought that I would never have the chance to see the descendants of Snow Fox again in my life. Your appearance makes me very happy."
The gentle sound carried by the wind was as sweet as the music played by Yun Xi’s fingertips.
The woman on the top of the snow mountain slowly turned around and looked at Bai Qing with a smile.
Bai Qing looked at her, breathing slightly.
As a member of the Snow Fox Clan, it knew very well how beautiful the Snow Fox Clan was, but even though it knew this, it was still stunned by the woman in front of it.
It has never seen such a beautiful woman, who is wearing a snow-white gauze dress with wide sleeves, with complicated and exquisite patterns, and is low-key and restrained.
She has a stunning appearance, and a few strands of her long snow-white hair are slowly floating in the wind and snow. The overall style is obviously the same color as the snow in the Yunwu Mountain, but her brilliance surpasses everything.
The world is so big, but she is the only one.
Bai Qing suddenly realized that this was not just the effect of appearance, but also the other person's holy and noble temperament that also created such a feeling.
It directly performed the highest gift of the Snow Fox Clan and said respectfully: "Bai Qing, a disciple of the Snow Fox Clan, pays homage to the Nine-Tailed Ancestor!"
"Kyuubi...no one has called my name for a long time."
Jiuwei stepped forward, walked slowly down, came to Bai Qing, and leaned down to look at it.
Bai Qing tightened her body and maintained a good posture, just like a soldier who was being inspected by his leader.
Jiuwei smiled softly: "Eight tails can be born. How many eight-tailed snow foxes are there in the Snow Fox Clan today?"
Bai Qing answered truthfully: "Back to my ancestors, the Snow Fox clan has only given birth to me, an eight-tailed snow fox, for hundreds of years."
"Oh? Just you? That's a bit small."
Jiuwei said with some regret, which made Bai Qing feel tight.
Fortunately, Kyuubi then continued: "But it is enough for you to be able to come here with the Eight-Tails."
Bai Qing looked up at her with doubts in her eyes.
Kyuubi said: "Close your eyes."
Bai Qing did not hesitate and closed her eyes obediently. Then, it felt that its body was slowly floating into the air.
Jiuwei raised his hand and twisted his slender white fingers gently. Suddenly, snowflakes were flying on the top of the mountain, and the white snow gathered with the wind, turning into a white light and integrating into Bai Qing's body.
There was a slight pain in her chest, and Bai Qing couldn't help but frown. But soon, the pain turned into a clear stream and transferred to the inside of her body. The next moment, the pain like burning fire came from the inside of her body, and Bai Qing couldn't help but groan.
.
"Don't move, don't move."
Jiuwei's voice was like a gentle spring breeze, blowing in Bai Qing's heart, instantly making her feel at ease.
It pursed its lips and endured the pain in its body. After persisting for a few minutes, the burning sensation slowly disappeared, and a strange feeling came from its body, which was a bit unfamiliar, but very comfortable.
"You can open it now."
Bai Qing opened her eyes, her watery eyes full of confusion.
Kyuubi smiled and said: "Open your tail and take a look."
Bai Qing immediately flicked his tail, and there were many phantoms. The fluffy snow-white tails slowly opened, as beautiful and holy as the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain.
It looked at its tail and suddenly froze.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
Nine!!
"Nine, nine tails??!"
Bai Qing exclaimed in surprise.
Jiuwei said: "Snow foxes can only give birth to eight tails at most. Only by stepping into the Shinto can they give birth to the ninth tail. Now, I have passed on my tail, which will make your future practice easier. But
After all, this is not your tail. Try not to use it until you reach a state where you can fully control this tail. Do you understand?"
Bai Qing immediately replied solemnly: "Disciple understands!"
But soon, it reacted: "Ancestor, you said that the ninth tail can only be born after entering the divine way, then you..."
Jiuwei nodded lightly and smiled lightly:
"During my lifetime, I had already touched the divine way."
