Luohou Gets His Home Raided by the Qilin Clan
Just as Wu Chu entered seclusion again, a world-shaking war broke out in the Western Land.
The two sides in the great battle were the Qilin Royal Clan on one side, who fought under the banner of avenging their allies, and the Mount Sumeru Demon Cult, which had only been established for a short time and had very few followers.
Coincidentally, the Demon Ancestor was in seclusion at the same time, so the newly established Demon Sect was directly crushed by the Qilin Clan, and then, as expected, received the Heavenly Dao's Merit.
Upon seeing this, the Qilin Ancestor unleashed the Qilin Seal, seemingly intending to flatten Mount Sumeru in this demonic land in order to blast out the Demon Ancestor Luohu and launch a major attack.
The Demon Ancestor, who was in seclusion recovering, was suddenly awakened from his slumber. When he saw all the changes in the outside world, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The entire Qilin Clan deserves to die!"
Luohou's anger was ignited. Before he could even provoke the Three Clans, the Qilin Clan charged forward, much like someone who had spent all his time hunting geese only to have them peck his blind. So he charged out and engaged the Qilin Ancestor in a life-or-death battle on the Western Land.
This war was incredibly devastating, lasting for a full ten years. The entire Western Land was ravaged and riddled with holes. Countless mountains collapsed, the earth caved in, rivers dried up, volcanoes erupted, and countless ley lines were severed.
Ultimately, Luohou chose to back down.
Originally, Luohou's cultivation was no worse than that of the Qilin Ancestor. Although the Qilin Ancestor received the Merit of founding the clan and his cultivation was close to the peak, he was not much stronger than Luohou.
After fighting with Ancestor Hongjun for a hundred years, Luohou was still recovering from his injuries when the Qilin Clan stole a weapon from him and struck him right on his weak spot.
Furthermore, now that his base has been discovered, if the other party gets bored and comes to steal from him every now and then, how can he possibly develop his strength in a stealthy manner?
Therefore, after much deliberation, Luohou, with Mount Sumeru in tow, decisively chose to retreat.
After enjoying the thrill of raiding Luohou's base, the Qilin Clan didn't continue their relentless pursuit, mainly because they couldn't do anything about him.
If the fighting continues and Luohou starts to abandon all martial ethics and chooses to attack other members of the Qilin Clan, the losses could be quite severe.
They were even thinking of letting Luohou develop quietly for a while longer, and then they would steal from him again, perhaps gaining even more Merit in the process!
And so, the great battle ended in victory for the Qilin Clan.
It was this battle that propelled the Qilin Clan to new heights, and countless previously hesitant beings finally chose to join them.
After all, a leader who stands up for his allies like this must be a good leader.
Longevity Mountain, situated at the junction of the Western Land and Central Land, boasts majestic peaks, verdant greenery, swirling clouds and mist, swaying Ganoderma lucidum, and auspicious omens.
At Wuzhuang Temple in Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi was also awakened from his seclusion by this battle.
The disorder of the earth's energy veins was directly reflected in his Earth Book.
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi calculated with his fingers, his brows furrowing slightly. Then, using the Cloud Book Message Method, he sent a message to the Fire Cloud Palace, summoning Brother Hong Yun.
A century later, the two reunited at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain Hill.
"What brings you here, my dear brother?" Hong Yun asked as soon as he arrived. "Didn't we already agree to stay in our cave and not go out?"
Zhen Yuanzi unfolded the Earth Book, showing Hong Yun the chaotic flow of earth vein energy on the Western Land. "Brother Dao, something's happened!"
"How did it become like this?" Hong Yun frowned deeply upon seeing it. "The energy of the Western Land is so chaotic; this is not a good thing for your Longevity Mountain, my brother!"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "After years of investigation, the matter has become basically clear. The Qilin Clan and Luohou, the leader of the Western Demon Cult, fought a great war on the Western Land for ten years, causing great upheaval and severely damaging the Western Land's veins. If it is not dealt with, not only the Western Land, but even my Longevity Mountain will gradually lose its spiritual energy and eventually become depleted."
"The Western Demon Cult? When did this sect appear?" Hong Yun was surprised and tried to calculate with his fingers, but ultimately failed to figure it out.
"The cultivation levels of the Demon Sect Leader and the Qilin Ancestor are both above ours, making it difficult for us to deduce anything from them. However, over the years, I have gathered quite a bit of information from the sidelines. It is said that the Qilin Clan is seeking revenge for an ally named Tianmu Daoist. Does that name sound familiar, fellow Daoist?"
Hong Yun was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, and finally asked doubtfully, "Could this matter be related to that Fellow Daoist, or is it just a coincidence?"
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've tried to calculate it before, but I still can't figure out anything about Fellow Daoist Bu Bu."
Hong Yun smiled and said, "That's not surprising. After all, you have that Merit Supreme Treasure protecting you, so it's not so easy to deduce your various affairs."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "Given your aversion to going out, I believe this matter has little to do with you; it's probably just a coincidence. The reason I sent this letter to you, brother, is that I hope you can join me in repairing the ley lines of the Western Land and earn some Merit along the way. Perhaps then you can condense your Merit Golden Wheel."
"Haha... then I'll take your kind words, my brother!"
And so, these two best buddies set off on another journey.
And so, hundreds or even thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mount Buzhou, Qilin Cliffs, Qilin Royal Court —as more and more allies actively join the Qilin Clan, the clan's power and prestige are growing stronger, and its influence is unparalleled.
Then they remembered the small Witch Clan that lived among them.
At first, I thought there were many skilled people in that small tribe, and if they didn't want to join, I would let them be. But now, as their power grows stronger, the thought of 'how can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed' is becoming more and more intense.
Therefore, Earth Qilin Di Shu and Qingqiu Thirteen Qingqiu Yin were once again sent out to the Houtu Tribe, given three choices.
One option is to join them, another is to leave Mount Buzhou, and the last is for everyone to set up their formations and have a contest, where the loser listens to the winner.
Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan are all very powerful, they are not much stronger than the Qilin Clan of the Qilin Royal Clan, not to mention the Qilin Ancestor, who is clearly a level above them, as well as other powerful individuals who have joined them. Even if the twelve tribes developed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches were united, they would still be no match for the Qilin Clan.
Therefore, this is clearly an act of using power to oppress others.
Faced with the final ultimatum from the Qilin Clan, Houtu had no choice but to go to the Pangu Temple to summon her other eleven brothers and sisters to discuss the matter.
