As for bleeding, what else could the little qilin feel? Of course, he would avoid it if he could. If he truly couldn't avoid it, he'd discuss it with the elders and try to bleed a little less, just to save his own life!
After all, he was here to find the Qilin Clan's supreme treasure, the Qilin Seal. It was only right for him to contribute to the Qilin Clan and shed some blood.
Xu Fang couldn't help but chuckle at the little qilin's demeanor, as if he were facing execution with righteous indignation.
"Alright, you don't need to worry so much. There shouldn't be any abnormalities."
As Xu Fang spoke, he immediately stepped forward, ready to take the little qilin to the place where the Qilin Seal was located.
However, at this very moment, a mighty pressure rolled in, instantly suppressing Xu Fang.
Xu Fang's thoughts raced. His magical treasures flew out, circling around him and blocking the pressure. He finally felt a sense of ease and breathed a sigh of relief.
He then remembered the little qilin's situation. Even he felt immense pressure, let alone this tiny qilin?
Xu Fang quickly activated his treasures to help the little qilin. He glanced sideways and was shocked.
The little qilin still maintained his noble and righteous stance, as if facing ten thousand foes alone, showing no signs of being suppressed.
Xu Fang was greatly curious and quickly asked.
"What's going on? You don't feel anything?"
"Feel what? Oh, I'm very happy and excited right now, but I'm also scared. After all, I only have so much blood. Will it all be drained?"
The little qilin looked up at Xu Fang with his large eyes.
Seeing him like this, Xu Fang was astonished. This little qilin was actually unaffected by the pressure of this place?
Just as Xu Fang was pondering this, a voice rang out.
"Who goes there! You are not a member of my Qilin Clan. How did you break the Qilin Formation and enter this place!"
As the voice faded, a figure appeared before Xu Fang and the little qilin.
It was an unimaginably huge qilin, majestic and imposing, radiating auspicious light that illuminated the entire area, making it exceptionally spectacular.
The moment this figure attacked, it came directly towards Xu Fang. The overwhelming aura, even with Xu Fang's array of magical treasures protecting him, forced him to retreat repeatedly.
Even so, Xu Fang did not retaliate. Instead, he let his magical treasures shield himself and the little qilin.
Because, if nothing unexpected happened, that immense figure must be!
"Primordial Qilin!"
"Patriarch, revered be thy name! I am a member of the Qilin Clan. It is my greatest fortune in this life to witness thy true form!"
The little qilin cried out repeatedly, prostrating himself and kowtowing. He raised his head, tears streaming down his face, filled with emotion.
Hearing this, Xu Fang became even more certain. The being before him was indeed the Qilin ancestor, the Primordial Qilin!
"A member of the Qilin Clan?"
The gigantic qilin figure, hearing the cries, finally noticed the little qilin.
There was no way. Xu Fang's strength was too immense, and his intentions unknown. The qilin's attention was entirely focused on Xu Fang, and he hadn't even noticed the tiny qilin until now.
"You are truly a member of my Qilin Clan!"
The huge qilin figure swept its gaze, confirming the little qilin's identity. However, without any further joy, its gaze darkened.
"As a member of the Qilin Clan, why are you with such a creature?"
Before the little qilin could speak, the qilin figure looked at the wound on the little qilin's hand and immediately became enraged, turning its gaze to Xu Fang.
"You despicable scoundrel! How dare you threaten a member of my Qilin Clan and use Qilin blood to break this Qilin Formation! You truly have ill intentions!"
The gigantic qilin figure was furious. Spiritual energy surged around it as it prepared to attack again, to kill the scoundrel before it.
Seeing this, Xu Fang helplessly shrugged and looked at the little qilin.
"Do you know how impulsive your clan leader is?"
"Little qilin, explain the situation properly to your ancestor."
Xu Fang cast all his troubles onto the little qilin and simply sat down.
Xu Fang's unguarded posture greatly surprised the Primordial Qilin figure. For a moment, it didn't know whether to attack or not, so it looked at the little qilin.
"Child of the Qilin Clan, I, the Primordial Qilin, am here. Speak whatever you wish, and I will uphold justice for you!"
"Patriarch, you are truly mistaken."
The little qilin spoke, and immediately recounted the entire story.
"This Senior Xu Fang is an ally of our Qilin Clan. I was sent to Senior Xu Fang by the two princes of the Mo Yu Qilin."
The little qilin pointed at Xu Fang and introduced him to the Primordial Qilin.
"Senior Xu Fang possesses the divine ability to sense treasures and is always successful in finding them. Therefore, I asked him to help find our Qilin Clan's supreme treasure, the Qilin Seal."
The little qilin briefly explained the course of events. Fearing that the Primordial Qilin might not understand, he even recounted the connection between the Qilin Clan and Xu Fang from the battle of Penglai.
Of course, this also included some major world events, such as the decline of the three great races and the Qilin Clan's diminished state.
Speaking of these matters, the little qilin became a little despondent. However, looking at the Primordial Qilin, who was listening thoughtfully, he quickly cast aside his low spirits and became joyous.
"I never expected to meet the Patriarch before seeing the Qilin Seal. What a pleasant surprise!"
"Patriarch, we will return to the Qilin Clan immediately. I believe with your leadership, the Qilin Clan will rise again and shine with new glory!"
The little qilin began to fantasize about a bright future. However, both the Primordial Qilin and Xu Fang shook their heads.
"It's my fault. This fellow's cultivation has improved, but his mind is still like that of a child."
Xu Fang finally spoke, and as soon as he did, he apologized to the Primordial Qilin.
"It is not your fault, fellow Daoist. I am immensely grateful for your help to our Qilin Clan."
The Primordial Qilin shook its head, looked at the little qilin, and seeing his expectant gaze, sighed.
However, despite his reluctance, he ultimately had to speak and shatter the illusion.
"Child, I am sorry, I cannot accompany your Qilin Clan."
"Why?"
"Because I have long since passed away. What appears before you now is merely an illusionary projection."
The Primordial Qilin spoke and pointed upwards.
"Do you think the Qilin Cliff came from nowhere? My body transformed into the Qilin Cliff back then. How could there be any possibility of revival?"
The Primordial Qilin extended a massive hand and gently stroked the little qilin's head.
Upon hearing this, the little qilin was struck by lightning. He looked at Xu Fang, who nodded.
The little qilin refused to believe it and immediately used his divine abilities. He had not dared to be presumptuous when facing the Patriarch earlier, but now, upon hearing the Patriarch speak in such a manner, he no longer cared about offending him.
However, after his divine abilities swept over, it was indeed confirmed that the Primordial Qilin before him was merely an illusionary projection. Within the flow of spiritual energy, its form flickered, as if it would dissipate with a single gust of wind!
