What an Old Scumbag

Feng Qing'er was shocked to see Mo Tang again.

If I remember correctly, my master has been stuck at the peak of the Three Stars Dou Zun Realm for decades, unable to break through the bottleneck of the Four-Star Dou Zun...

But looking at his junior brother from the same clan, they've only known each other for less than a year, and he's already Four-Star Dou Zun.

What's this?

The world of geniuses is truly beyond the understanding of us mere mortals!

The old man in black robes beside him also looked at the young man opposite him with a shocked expression, and asked uncertainly, "Qing'er, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is he really the Mo Tang you mentioned?"

Feng Qing'er nodded helplessly, confirming the other party's identity once again.

There was nothing she could do; she understood the old man's feelings, but that was the reality, and it was quite a blow.

However, after the initial shock, the old man in black robes now had a sharp glint in his eyes!

"This person actually possesses such miraculous abilities. Could it be that his bloodline is comparable to that of the Three Phoenixes of our clan?"

But how could that be possible!

Whether it's the Heavenly Demon Three Phoenixes or the clan leader Huang Tian, the reason they were able to break through to the Dou Saint level is all due to the concentration of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline within their bodies.

Leaving aside the clan leader Huang Tian, who remains a great mystery even within the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan... But the Heavenly Demon Three Phoenixes are direct descendants of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Since this young man is also a Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, his ability to achieve such a leap in cultivation is likely due to the high concentration of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline within him. This allows him to cultivate without any bottlenecks, automatically increasing his level as long as he has sufficient energy...

This terrifying cultivation speed is not only a characteristic of the Sky Demon Phoenix, but also a common trait of races that rely on bloodline to determine everything, including the Ancient Void Dragon and even the Eight Ancient Clans!

What outsiders perceive as requiring a great deal of time and effort to cultivate and improve one's cultivation level is, in the eyes of these races, a leap of ten or more levels at once is a perfectly normal phenomenon.

Of course, this race, which relies on bloodline to determine everything, also has a fatal flaw: the bloodline level has too great a limitation on personal strength!

Just like the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, although they are one of the top Demonic Beast forces, apart from the clan leader and the Heavenly Demon Three Phoenixes, the other clan members with slightly weaker bloodlines have no chance of even touching the Saint level...

This has remained unchanged for thousands of years!

"This boy's identity is definitely not simple. It seems we must bring him back to the clan so the clan leader can personally examine him..."

In an instant, the old man in black robes had made up his mind.

In contrast to the shock and intense inner turmoil of the two men, Mo Tang remained completely calm.

Upon seeing Feng Qing'er, she exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Senior Sister, what are you doing here? Is there something you need to do?"

Feng Qing'er gave a wry smile, rolled her eyes at Mo Tang's indifferent expression, and said, "Do you even need to ask us that? We came here specifically to find you, so how did you end up in this desolate place?"

Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked, "Looking for me? What do you want with me? Does Master have some instructions?"

Feng Qing'er shook her head, and was about to speak when the old man in black robes beside her stopped her, saying, "Let me speak..."

"Young friend, I am Huang Xuan, one of the elders of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. My visit to you is naturally related to your identity."

However, before that, I have a few more questions to ask you..."

Mo Tang's heart stirred. It seemed that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had learned of Ying Yi's death. He wondered if this elder of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had come to question him or had some other purpose.

Although he thought this in his heart, Mo Tang showed no abnormality on the surface, and instead cupped his hands slightly and said, "Elder Huang Xuan, please speak."

Seeing Mo Tang's composed expression, Huang Xuan nodded inwardly, and then asked, "I want to ask you, before this, have you seen any other members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Frowning, Mo Tang shook his head and said, "I haven't been in Central Plains for long. Besides Elder Huang Xuan, the only other clansman I've met is my senior sister..."

Seeing Mo Tang's reply, Huang Xuan thought he had misunderstood and continued to explain, "The time I'm referring to is the period after you left Wind Thunder Pavilion."

Mo Tang was immediately surprised and said, "After leaving Wind Thunder Pavilion? Could it be that someone else came before Elder Huang Xuan? But why wasn't she with Senior Sister? And I've been staying in the Flower Sect all this time except when I'm traveling, and I haven't seen any clansmen."

Seeing Mo Tang's serious expression, Huang Xuan's brows furrowed immediately.

"Is that so?"

But what exactly is going on with Ying Yi?

The Soul Jade Slip he left in the clan has shattered, proving that he is dead... Could it be that he encountered some opponent and met with misfortune on his way out?

This is not impossible...

Although the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan is powerful and protective of its own, it cannot truly stop the greed of those who covet their clan.

Over the years, it's not uncommon for clansmen to be captured and killed while out on business... After all, the physical body of a Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan alone is priceless, enough to tempt some people to take the risk.

However, Huang Xuan was also unsure whether what the young man in front of him said was true or false...

Just as Huang Xuan was hesitating, Feng Qing'er looked over with some curiosity, "Flower Sect? Junior Brother, how did you get involved with the Flower Sect?"

Seeing Feng Qing'er's curious expression, Mo Tang smiled and said, "Hehe, it's not about having any connection... The current Sect Master of the Flower Sect is one of my women!"

This was clearly more explosive for Feng Qing'er than Mo Tang becoming Dou Zun!

This usually cold and aloof beauty suddenly lost all control of her expression, her cherry lips gaping wide and her eyes practically bulging out.

"The Flower Sect Leader? Your woman? But I've heard the Flower Sect Leader is an ancient monster who's lived for hundreds of years..."

Upon hearing this, not only Mo Tang, but even Huang Xuan standing beside him stared wide-eyed...

Centuries? An old monster? Are you implying that I'm included?

Huang Xuan, the Sky Demon Phoenix who had lived for nearly a thousand years, felt insulted.

As for Mo Tang ... he was also nearly choked to death by Feng Qing'er's comment about an "old monster"... He seemed to vaguely see the wrinkled old face of the Flower Sect's Great Elder before him...

Vomit...!

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm talking about the new Sect Master, who just took office, a stunningly beautiful woman!"

Mo Tang roared in exasperation.

Feng Qing'er merely pursed her lips and said softly, "As expected of a scumbag, you've already found a new lover just a few days after Xiao Yi Xian left..."

"And they're all women who are both talented and beautiful, with both looks and ability. Are they really blind...?"

Of course, the last sentence wasn't finished, otherwise Feng Qing'er was very suspicious that the guy in front of her would have lost his temper.

Besides, I can't beat him right now... (insert ptererror();)
