First Meeting with the Black Dog

However, just as the human and Demon Clan fell completely silent, a jade hand suddenly grasped the War Sword and pulled it out with extreme ease.

Everyone was startled and looked over.

"Your Overlord has truly discerning eyes; you only find a handful of humans and Demon Clan worthy of your attention. In your opinion, Your Overlord, who among our Ancient Races here today can be called a 'prodigy'?" A clear voice rang out.

This is a blue-haired woman with bright eyes and white teeth, a slender figure, and skin as white as jade. She is graceful and charming.

Her blue hair shimmered like silk, hanging down to her waist, adorned with a crystal-clear jade hairpin. At the head of the hairpin was a delicate string of beads, from which hung a lifelike little purple Kirin, making her jade-like cheeks appear even whiter.

This is Huo Lin'er, the youngest daughter of the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the younger sister of Huo Lin'er Huo Qilinzi.

Holding the War Sword, she examined it closely, a hint of amazement on her face.

"Such a powerful fighting spirit! No wonder you defeated the Overlord of Yuan Gu!" Huo Lin'er smiled, bright and charming, her blue hair trembling like the essence of the sea.

Many members of the Ancient Races involuntarily retreated. When the Ancient Emperor arrived, they all showed awe and made way for her.

It is easy to see from this that the Ancient Races had a strict hierarchy, and people had great respect for the ancient emperors, which extended to their descendants, who also held extremely high status.

"Huo Lin'er, as the youngest daughter of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, you naturally possess astonishing talent. Furthermore, your ability to draw my War Sword is enough to earn you the title of 'prodigy'." Zhou Tong said with a smile, while filling his wine cup and stepping forward to gently clink his cup with Huo Lin'er's.

Huo Lin'er smiled sweetly, her beauty captivating. She raised her cup as well, saying, "Although I have drawn your sword, I have no desire to fight you to the death. Let's leave that opportunity to the Heavenly Emperor Son or the Holy Imperial Son! Of course, if my older brother were to encounter you, he would most likely be very interested as well."

"You accepted my challenge but are unwilling to fight me. Are you just toying with me?" Zhou Tong's eyes turned cold.

"You, the Overlord, are invincible and unstoppable. How could I possibly mock you?" Huo Lin'er said pitifully, her long, slender legs peeking out as she walked towards Zhou Tong.

People were stunned, captivated by her beauty and pondered by her words. Had even the Ancient Emperor Bloodline yielded to Zhou Tong?

"Stop with the nonsense, what exactly do you want?" Zhou Tong glanced at Huo Lin'er.

"Please give me back the seed of the Kirin Divine Medicine, okay? That's the only thing our father left us." Huo Lin'er smiled sweetly, her graceful figure and delicate features making her continue walking towards Zhou Tong.

"My people will exchange Immortal Material with you," she continued. "We know you have been collecting Immortal Material. After my father forged the Ancient Emperor Weapon, some Eternal Blue Gold remained. If you, Overlord, are willing to give us the Kirin Divine Medicine, we can give you all the Eternal Blue Gold my father left behind."

"Don't rush to refuse, we won't let you suffer any losses. That Eternal Blue Gold was specially left to us by my father to refine Dao Proving Artifact, and it weighs over two million catties!"

Zhou Tong looked at Huo Lin'er, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

They were both surprised that the Qilin Ancient Emperor had left behind so many Immortal Material for later generations to refine into Dao Proving Artifact; and surprised by the news of the Kirin Divine Medicine.

"How did you know that the Kirin Divine Medicine was in my possession?" Zhou Tong asked in a deep voice.

It's normal that they know I'm collecting Immortal Material, after all, I committed such a big crime in the entire Big Dipper, extorting so many Immortal Material from Great Sage; but knowing that the Kirin Divine Medicine is in my hands means that my information channels are extraordinary.

Only a few bandits, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the Holy Imperial Son knew that the Kirin Divine Medicine was in their possession. It was unlikely they would leak this information. So the question arises: how did the Fire Qilin Cave know that the Kirin Divine Medicine was in their hands?

"Could it be... the Jiang Family!?" Zhou Tong looked at Huo Lin'er.

If the Jiang Family truly wanted to discover that they possessed the Kirin Divine Medicine, it wouldn't be difficult. Many clues might be unknown to other holy lands, but the Jiang Family certainly would.

Huo Lin'er smiled faintly, her long, light blue hair shining like silk, her smile captivating and stunning.

"It seems it's not the Jiang Family..." Zhou Tong had roughly ruled out the Jiang Family in his mind.

But after ruling out the Jiang Family, it becomes even harder to know who leaked the information. The matter of the Kirin Divine Medicine is extremely secretive; very few people should know about it. Who could it be?

"Let's discuss it. Don't be so rigid. What I give you won't be bad. Two million catties of Eternal Blue Gold is worth as much as a divine medicine." Huo Lin'er spoke again when she saw that Zhou Tong had been silent for a long time.

She sat down next to Zhou Tong, resting her chin on her hands, gazing at Zhou Tong with her large, blinking eyes. She seemed innocent yet alluring, possessing a strange charm.

"If you want the Kirin Divine Medicine, it's not impossible."

Zhou Tong, "Since you have accepted my challenge, then whether it is you or your brother, as long as you can defeat me, the Kirin Divine Medicine is yours; but if you lose, I will take your Immortal Material."

Huo Lin'er smiled faintly, then quietly drank her wine, saying nothing more. It seemed impossible for her to make any promises or bets.

However, Zhou Tong didn't care at all. Huo Lin'er didn't dare to take this gamble, but that didn't mean her brother disagreed.

Compared to Huo Lin'er's cleverness, her brother was much more stubborn. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tricked by Dao Yi in the original story, and even the Ancient Emperor Weapon of Fire Qilin Cave would have been sealed away in the end.

Suddenly, chaos erupted outside the Jade Pool Pure Land, a scene of utter commotion, like chickens flying and dogs barking. Some people were cursing, and the faint sound of dogs barking could be heard.

"Damn it, I'll never forget that bark!!" Duan De was not far away, jumped up and down, his fur standing on end. He charged straight out.

"It's Black Emperor ..." Zhou Tong was also very curious about the dog, and he followed Duan De out.

I've been in this world for so long and I've never seen this dead dog before. This is a good opportunity to go and see it.

More than ten years ago, Black Emperor made a fleeting appearance. Just as Zhou Tong was about to break through its formation and capture it, the dead dog slipped away, causing him to miss a chance to meet it.

Outside the Jade Pool, a Big Black Dog with its red tongue lolling out stood, as strong as a bull, its black fur glossy and shimmering like silk.

"You shameless Heavenly Venerable, you damned dog, how dare you show your face before me!!" Duan De cursed as soon as he saw the Big Black Dog. "You damned dog, I know your background now. The Wu Shi the Great adopted a puppy in his later years..."

"You fatso, if you utter another word of nonsense, I'll bite you a thousand times and make you my pet!" the Big Black Dog barked defiantly.

Zhou Tong, who came out right behind him, was also speechless.

These two are natural enemies, having been at odds since the time of the Desolate Heaven Emperor in the Chaotic Ancient Era, and it's still the same in this era...

"Damn it, you unscrupulous brat!!" The Big Black Dog's expression immediately turned hostile when he saw Zhou Tong behind Duan De.

Zhou Tong:???
