Primordial Era: Bumping Into Nuwa at the Start!

"First Qilin, what's the situation? Are you in any position to negotiate with me?"

Bai Chen sneered. What a joke. I have the Qilin's essence in my hand. What right does the First Qilin have to negotiate with me? Does it deserve it?

"First Qilin, do you still have time to get revenge on me?"

"Your time is running out, so you're starting to make arrangements for your affairs, aren't you?"

Bai Chen wasn't afraid of the First Qilin seeking revenge at all, because the First Qilin's time was already ticking down.

The other party simply didn't have time to get revenge on him, so why should he be afraid of it?

"Bai Chen, you're right. My time is indeed running out."

The First Qilin's eyes turned cold, and it could no longer hide its killing intent towards Bai Chen:

"Bai Chen, but if you dare to harm the lives of my son, Si Bu Xiang, and Mo Qilin...

I will burn my Primordial Spirit, true spirit, and innate origin to ashes, or self-destruct and drag you and Nuwa down with me."

The First Qilin laid down its harsh words. Burning the Primordial Spirit, true spirit, and innate origin, as well as self-destruction, were all forbidden techniques. It didn't believe the other party wasn't afraid.

"First Qilin, I'm so scared!"

(●'◡'●)╭∩╮

Bai Chen made a face at the First Qilin, then extended its little claws and made a friendly greeting gesture towards the First Qilin:

"But the ones who should be more scared are your Qilin Clan."

"If you, the First Qilin, perish, there will be no one left to atone for the Qilin Clan.

The entire Qilin Clan will be annihilated in the river of time due to the Great Karmic Debt."

The First Qilin's sins were so heavy that they wouldn't simply disappear if the First Qilin died.

The First Qilin's sins could lead the entire Qilin Clan to extinction under the Great Karmic Debt.

Therefore, Bai Chen didn't believe the First Qilin would dare to self-destruct and fight it and Nuwa to the death here, unless the First Qilin wanted the entire Qilin Clan to be buried with it.

"I didn't expect Yuan Feng to tell you all this?"

"Damn Yuan Feng, even when suppressed, you still want to harm me. How vicious you are!"

As Bai Chen exposed everything, the First Qilin's previous confidence completely vanished.

It mistakenly believed that all of this was related to Yuan Feng, who was suppressed in the South Bright Undying Volcano.

South Bright Undying Volcano, Yuan Feng: Little White, you're making me take the blame for you again.

"Bai Chen, what will it take for you to let them go?"

At this point, the First Qilin directly asked Bai Chen, wanting to know its conditions.

"I want your Qilin Seal, and all the treasures and resources you possess."

Bai Chen knew that the First Qilin had come to entrust its offspring. The First Qilin wanted the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West to help look after the Qilin Clan, so how could it not give them benefits?

It wasn't that Bai Chen was greedy for the First Qilin's treasures; these were debts the Qilin Clan owed Bai Chen.

It was because in a previous epoch, the Qilin Clan had tried to capture Bai Chen and seize its territory.

After proposing financial compensation, Bai Chen made another demand:

"In addition, I want you to die completely, with not a shred of life remaining."

Although according to the Great Dao's decree, the First Qilin would soon turn into Qilin Cliff, it hadn't completely dispersed its Primordial Spirit and true spirit, leaving a sliver of hope for itself according to the Great Dao's decree. It hadn't died completely.

The First Qilin was merely suppressed, and if it had the chance, it could transform back from Qilin Cliff.

Bai Chen didn't want to give the First Qilin that chance; it wanted the First Qilin to die and disperse its own Primordial Spirit and true spirit.

"Bai Chen, aren't these two conditions of yours a bit too excessive?"

The First Qilin was furious. Bai Chen demanding its treasures was one thing, but it also wanted its life.

Others might be a little excessive, but Bai Chen was excessively over the top!

"Excessive?"

"First Qilin, you should remember how you treated us Innate Divine Beasts and all the Beast races back then?"

Bai Chen reprimanded sternly, accusing the First Qilin of its evil deeds.

The harm the Qilin Clan had inflicted on the Beast races was even worse than the Fierce Beast Tribulation.

"First Qilin, take your time to consider. I have plenty of time."

"However, I don't know how long they can hold on."

Bai Chen exhaled a mouthful of Nirvana Phoenix Flame and began to roast Si Bu Xiang and Mo Qilin within it.

"Fellow Daoists, why the need for such a big commotion? Whatever grievances you have, why not stop for now?"

Just as Bai Chen and the First Qilin were in a stalemate, the Three Pure Ones arrived, with the foremost among them, The Grand Pure One Laozi, speaking first.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist First Qilin, stop!"

The moment the Three Pure Ones arrived, Queen Mother of the West also rushed over.

Nuwa and the First Qilin's fight had caused too much commotion. Kunlun Mountain wasn't far from the scene, so how could the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West not notice?

The Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West appeared to mediate the fight.

Why were the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West mediating?

It was because they feared Bai Chen would push the First Qilin too far, causing it to self-detonate and destroy their dojos.

If Nuwa and the First Qilin had chosen to fight elsewhere, they absolutely wouldn't have intervened.

"Fellow Daoists, Bai Chen, this disgrace to beasts, has captured my son and elders. I implore you to lend this humble Daoist a hand."

Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West, the First Qilin acted as if it had found reinforcements and immediately sought their help.

However, neither the Three Pure Ones nor Queen Mother of the West made a move in response to the First Qilin's plea.

The four of them were there to mediate, hoping to persuade the First Qilin, Nuwa, and Bai Chen to fight elsewhere, away from Kunlun Mountain.

They were not there to help the First Qilin fight against Nuwa.

Especially since Queen Mother of the West knew Nuwa and had a good relationship with her, she was even less willing to attack Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoists, if you help this humble Daoist rescue my son and the Ink Qilin, I will offer a generous reward."

The First Qilin knew that without offering some incentive, the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West would not act.

Moreover, it had originally intended to ask them to protect the Qilin Clan, so promising some benefits in advance would also serve as a foundation for entrusting the Qilin Clan to them later.

The Three Pure Ones were somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

The main reason was their extreme poverty.

The incident where they were driven out of Buzhou Mountain by the Ancestor Witches had made them deeply realize their need for resources to improve their combat power.

Resources were needed to refine pills that would boost their cultivation!

Resources were needed to refine magical treasures that could counter the Ancestor Witches!

Resources were needed to refine formations to deal with the Ancestor Witches!

Now that resources were being delivered to their doorstep, if they obtained them, they might be able to fight their way back to Buzhou Mountain and reclaim all the dignity they had lost.

Queen Mother of the West was also somewhat tempted. After all, since Yuan Feng had gifted her two-tenths of the Phoenix Clan's resources, she had become a bit complacent.

However, thinking of her friendship with Nuwa, she chose to remain silent.

"First Qilin, do you know the identities of these three fellow Daoists?"

Bai Chen noticed something amiss with the Three Pure Ones and quickly pointed at them, sternly admonishing the First Qilin:

"These three fellow Daoists are the Three Pure Ones, the orthodox lineage of Pangu. They were transformed from the Primordial Spirit of the Great God Pangu."

Bai Chen knew that the Three Pure Ones valued their reputation, especially the prestige of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

To prevent the Three Pure Ones from intervening, it planned to use moral blackmail:

"First Qilin, you have wreaked havoc across the Primordial Era for countless eons, committing countless killings."

"As the orthodox lineage of Pangu, how could these three fellow Daoists abandon the reputation of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and help a great scourge of the Primordial Era like you?"

Bai Chen didn't believe that even after bringing up the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, the Three Pure Ones would still dare to help the First Qilin.

As expected, as soon as Bai Chen spoke, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances.

"Eldest Brother, what they said makes sense.

The First Qilin has wreaked havoc for countless eons. If we help it, once the news spreads, it might tarnish the name of our Pangu's Orthodox Lineage."

Yuqing Yuanshi was the first to express his opinion. Among the Three Pure Ones, he valued the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage the most.

It could be said that the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage was his very life!

To Yuqing Yuanshi, any resources or magical treasures were nothing compared to the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

He disagreed with sacrificing the reputation of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage to help the First Qilin.

After all, the Pangu Descendants were no longer limited to their lineage; the Ancestor Witches also claimed descent from Pangu.

If their lineage were to help the First Qilin, who had wreaked havoc across the Primordial Era, would all living beings in the Primordial Era still acknowledge the Three Pure Ones as Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?

Shangqing Tongtian did not speak, but he had already shown his stance.

Clearly, he was not very inclined to help the First Qilin either. Faced with the choice between magical treasures and resources versus the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, he also chose the latter.

With both his younger brothers having made their decisions, what else could Taiqing Laozi, the eldest brother, say?

"First Qilin, stop wasting this Great God's time. They are almost at their limit. Make your choice quickly."

Bai Chen watched as the Primordial Spirits of the Ink Qilin, Gold Qilin, and Jade Qilin were on the verge of complete annihilation under the burning of the Nirvana Phoenix Flame, and urged it on.

After all, if the hostages were truly killed, they would no longer be a threat to the First Qilin.

"Haha!"
