Chapter 997 Of Course Not

Naturally, Empress Nuwa also specifically instructed Mr. Zhi Jue and Granny Huahua, that unless Zi Linling was in a life-or-death situation, they were absolutely not to intervene.

Therefore, Zi Linling was unaware of the existence of the protectors, which is why she was so vigilant both times she encountered Mr. Zhi Jue and Granny Huahua.

In the Tiger God's Tomb.

Zi Linling had completely integrated the memories of the Kunlun Goddess.

These memories contained not only the origins of creation but also the Kunlun Goddess's comprehension of the Dao.

Thus, after merging the memories, she did not open her eyes but continued to digest the Kunlun Goddess's insights.

Although Ye Ling Yuan was worried, he quickly realized that his Lin'er had entered a state of deep cultivation.

Fortunately, there was no danger within the Tiger God's Tomb. So, after Xiao Hu and Zi Linling both entered their cultivation states, Ye Ling Yuan also sat down to cultivate.

For a time, the surroundings fell silent.

The spiritual energy and the power of laws within the Tiger God's Tomb were exceptionally congenial to the three of them.

Whether it was Xiao Hu, Zi Linling, or Ye Ling Yuan, their auras were continuously rising.

However, Xiao Hu and Zi Linling's progress was faster, while Ye Ling Yuan's was comparatively slower. Su Dan Novel Network.

Time passed, and three months flew by in the blink of an eye.

Outside, the clan leaders of the thirteen tiger lineages, especially the leaders of the Dark Night Demon Tiger and the Brindled Blood Tiger clans, were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

In ten thousand years, no one had ever stayed in the Tiger God's Tomb for a full month. Even the clan leaders of the thirteen tiger lineages had only a record of twenty-seven days.

However, both Xiao Hu's status as Tiger King and Zi Linling's identity as the chosen one were crucial to the future of the tiger race.

If they were to meet with any accident in the Tiger God's Tomb, it would be no trivial matter.

Just as the leaders of the Dark Night Demon Tiger and Brindled Blood Tiger clans were at a loss, Xuan Yuan Xun, Shang Guan Yu Lin, Rong Guang, Elder Du, Shen Liu Xing, and Dan Qian Qiu arrived at the Ancient Tiger Clan.

All the clan leaders of the thirteen tiger lineages were gathered in the Tiger God Hall.

After greeting the thirteen tiger clan leaders, Xuan Yuan Xun and the other six took their seats as guests.

"Esteemed clan leaders of the tiger race, we have come to visit the tiger clan today to inform you about the impending world-ending calamity."

Xuan Yuan Xun exchanged glances with the other six and spoke.

The thirteen tiger clan leaders had already received news about the world-ending calamity from Zi Linling. Therefore, Xuan Yuan Xun's words did not elicit any surprise from them.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan coughed a few times and said, "To be frank, we of the tiger race have already received news of the world-ending calamity."

"Oh?"

Xuan Yuan Xun and the other five showed expressions of surprise.

Elder Du adjusted his posture and said, "Your clan's news is quite well-informed. We are just curious about your clan's intentions."

"This..."

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan frowned with difficulty.

Seeing this, the leader of the Brindled Blood Tiger clan quickly chimed in with a chuckle, "It's like this, the world-ending calamity concerns the very survival of the entire Azure Blue Star. As beings on the Azure Blue Star, we of the tiger race naturally have a duty to fight for its protection."

"However, our Lord Tiger King is currently receiving the inheritance from the Tiger God, so we cannot give you a definitive answer for the time being. We ask for your understanding!"

Xuan Yuan Xun paused for a moment and asked, "Then, when can you give us a response?"

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan looked at the leader of the Brindled Blood Tiger clan and replied, "After our Lord Tiger King emerges from his seclusion."

"And when will your Lord Tiger King emerge?" Shen Liu Xing asked, picking at his ear.

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan said with a bitter expression, "To be honest, we do not know when His Lordship will emerge."

"Are you trying to fob us off?" Shang Guan Yu Lin said angrily.

"Fobbing you off?"

The leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? Don't think I don't know how despicable you humans are! You sent someone to impersonate the chosen one, then you contracted our Tiger King, and under the guise of a world-ending calamity, you forced us to open the Tiger God's Tomb. Is this not simply to make our tiger race submit to your human race?"

"Wait! What did you say? Someone impersonated the chosen one? And contracted your Tiger King?"

Xuan Yuan Xun acutely captured the information in the Blazing Holy Tiger clan leader's words and suddenly stood up, asking.

The other five also rose in surprise, their faces showing excitement.

The leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan snorted coldly, "Why are you playing dumb? This so-called world-ending calamity, isn't it just an excuse for your human race to unify all the races?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Xun's face turned cold, "Your tiger race can refuse us, but please do not doubt the reality of the world-ending calamity."

Shen Liu Xing also said with a grim expression, "Let me ask you, on what grounds do you believe the chosen one is an impersonator?"

The leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan coldly retorted, "On what grounds? On the grounds that she cannot prove her identity!"

Shang Guan Yu Lin was about to retort but was stopped by Elder Du.

Elder Du smiled dismissively and said, "May I ask which of the thirteen tiger lineages your Tiger King belongs to?"

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan, seeing the stalemate, quickly said with a conciliatory smile, "Our Lord Tiger King was reappointed three months ago. He does not belong to any of the thirteen lineages but is from the Wind Wing Phantom Tiger clan."

"Wind Wing Phantom Tiger?"

Elder Du chuckled. He smiled strangely and said, "Heh heh, may I ask, what is the name of the person you believe to be impersonating the chosen one?"

The leader of the Dark Night Demon Tiger clan was taken aback and replied, "Her name was not told to us. We only know her surname is Zi. Lord Tiger King calls her Master, and another man calls her Lin'er."

Xuan Yuan Xun and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

The clan leaders of the thirteen tiger lineages were bewildered by their laughter and stood frozen in place.

The leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan snorted disdainfully, "What's so funny?"

Shang Guan Yu Lin, while laughing, said, "Funny! Of course, it's funny! With your level of intelligence, you dare to accuse others of impersonation?"

"Isn't it?" the leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan retorted dismissively.

"Of course not!"

Xuan Yuan Xun, Shang Guan Yu Lin, Rong Guang, Shen Liu Xing, Elder Du, and Dan Qian Qiu said in unison.

"This..."

The leaders of the Dark Night Demon Tiger and Brindled Blood Tiger clans, already flustered, became even more so. The leader of the Blazing Holy Tiger clan also froze.

Shen Liu Xing's smile suddenly solidified, and he said, "Sister Zi is the genuine chosen one, why would she need to impersonate? As for your Tiger King, he has been Sister Zi's contracted beast for a very long time."

"Furthermore, Sister Zi's contracted beasts, in addition to your Tiger King, include the young patriarch of the dragon race, the Fire Phoenix of the phoenix race, and the divine beast Xuanwu."
