I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 235 Is there even a need to ask?

“I’m asking you if you’re going to fight or not. If you’re not going to fight, I’m going to put the knife away. Otherwise, I’ll always want to cut something with this weapon in my hand.”

The obvious threat caused the fire qilin's eyes to redden slightly again.

But Mo Fei, who was prepared, suddenly unleashed his full power, activating the battle form of the Vajra Blade, intending to thoroughly cleanse the Fire Qilin's bones.

As a result, when the Fire Qilin saw that Mo Fei was about to unleash his power, the savage red light in its eyes was suppressed by him.

"Can you stop being so violent? What did you just say? You wanted to take me on as your underling? If I followed you, would I really live a life of luxury and even find some mates for me?"

Perhaps it was the beating Mo Fei had just given the Fire Qilin that left a deep impression on it. Seeing that it could not escape, the Fire Qilin actually started negotiating terms of surrender with Mo Fei.

It must be said that it was all just bad luck. The fire unicorn, which had lived in Lingyun Cave for nearly a thousand years, had long since grown tired of life in the cave.

However, his bizarre appearance and fiery nature would cause great panic if he appeared in human society, and would also attract many beings who covet him.

Centuries ago, he couldn't resist the urge to venture out once. As a result, he was besieged and attacked by the combined forces of the Central Plains martial arts world.

Although he killed most of those who were besieging him, he himself was also wounded by Nie Feng's ancestor, leaving a permanent vulnerability.

Therefore, over the years, he has basically stayed in Lingyun Cave, developing in a lowly manner. The only food he can eat is the Blood Bodhi cultivated with his own blood.

He had long since eaten so much Blood Bodhi that he was sick of it, and the limited quantity of Blood Bodhi meant that production could not keep up with his consumption.

Therefore, in order to reduce energy consumption, he has been in a deep sleep for most of the years.

He would only venture out to hunt for food during major floods.

Mo Fei's formidable strength made him realize that even if he stayed in Lingyun Cave all day, his beastly life was not safe.

Could it be that those casual words perfectly matched the Fire Qilin's long-held desire to go out and explore?

"You really want to follow me? You're not going to fight me anymore?"

To gain the Fire Qilin's approval so easily, even Mo Fei felt it was somewhat like a dream.

Only after confirming repeatedly that the Fire Qilin truly intended to submit did he accept the fact that he had indeed tricked a sacred beast.

……

After subduing the Fire Qilin, Mo Fei naturally wouldn't let go of the numerous Blood Bodhis in Lingyun Cave.

Although the Fire Qilin felt nauseous after eating these spiritual fruits, their healing and power-enhancing effects were undeniable.

Even now, after consuming a few Blood Bodhi seeds, Mo Fei clearly felt a slight increase in his internal energy.

"Little Qilin, since you're coming with me anyway, I'll have someone take over the Blood Bodhi here."

"By the way, you've been staying in this cave for nearly a thousand years. Surely it's not just for the reasons you just told me?"

While releasing Kumārajīva and the others to take over the harvesting of the ripe Blood Bodhi, he began to inquire about the Dragon Vein from the Fire Qilin that had just submitted to him.

"Alas, this sacred beast is certainly not the kind of person who is afraid of death. The reason why I have stayed here for so many years is to protect the dragon vein that suppresses evil spirits."

The Fire Qilin did not hide the matter of the Dragon Vein from Mo Fei. Instead, it told Mo Fei directly about the source of the Dragon Vein's function and the existence of the Dragon Soul and Demon Soul within it.

"You mean the dragon vein in Lingyun Cave is the spine of the ancient god-emperor Xuanyuan, and the dragon soul inside has been suppressing the Demon King of Chaos?"

After receiving confirmation from the Fire Qilin, Mo Fei couldn't help but become more curious about this dragon vein, which he hadn't paid much attention to before. He naturally didn't believe in any nonsense about it commanding the world; this thing was just like the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

What's truly powerful isn't the dragon vein itself, but the dragon soul and demon soul hidden within it.

Since the main character has decided to learn about the dragon vein, he naturally wouldn't overlook Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, who are working together to protect the dragon vein in the drama.

However, given their strength, even with all the time they've spent cultivating through the dragon vein, dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult for me.

However, now that he has a group of followers, he naturally can't do everything himself.

A good leader always gives his subordinates opportunities to perform.

With the Fire Qilin leading the way, the winding passages of Lingyun Cave had virtually no impact on the group, saving Mo Fei a considerable amount of time.

When the large group arrived at the perimeter of a huge stone tomb.

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, who were cultivating inside the tomb, finally sensed the commotion outside and appeared together at the tomb entrance.

The two initially thought it was a fire qilin wandering around, but upon seeing so many people, their expressions immediately turned wary and uneasy.

"Who are you? And what brings you here?"

Compared to Nie Renwang's indifferent nature, Duan Shuai was clearly much more pragmatic.

Over the years, he has been absorbing the energy of the dragon vein to cultivate his skills, and now his strength is far superior to what it used to be.

Whether out of a desire to protect or possess the dragon vein, he did not intend to let anyone know about it.

"Commander Duan, is it? I've heard of the name of the Fire Scale Sword Master before. But now that we're here, do you think we'd be completely unaware of the dragon vein you're trying to hide?"

As Mo Fei finished speaking, the enormous Fire Qilin emerged from the distant cave.

The two guards of the tomb saw Mo Fei comforting the fire qilin while eating blood bodhi beads like snacks, and they immediately guessed the source of the dragon vein leakage.

But Mo Fei's intimate attitude towards the Fire Qilin was far more astonishing to them than the news of the Dragon Vein being leaked.

"How is this possible! You've tamed the fire qilin?"

After witnessing the intimate interaction between Mo Fei and the Fire Qilin, the two could hardly believe their eyes.

It should be noted that the Fire Qilin is a sacred beast, and its powerful strength has deterred the two people who have stayed in Lingyun Cave for decades.

They only dared to be as discreet as possible in order not to provoke the other party's hostility.

But now, this behemoth that terrifies them has actually submitted to a human?

"You must be very curious now, how did I manage to tame the Fire Qilin?"

Seeing the two nod unconsciously like chickens pecking at rice, Mo Fei smiled knowingly.

Suddenly, he unleashed his full power, his mental force field and martial arts pressure erupting together, instantly enveloping the two of them in a vast and overwhelming aura.

"Is that even a question? It's because I'm strong enough!"
