Chapter 214 Returning to Mother’s Home

In an instant, it transformed into its true form, its entire body bursting with dazzling blue light. After a painful process of crushing and reshaping its bones and flesh, thousands of moonbeams suddenly rose from the sea.

Its originally blue fur turned emerald green, and a phantom moon totem materialized on its back.

"Holy crap, there are special effects everywhere!"

Xuanming's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but crush the rocks under his feet. He stumbled and almost fell into the sea, but with a twist of his body, he landed on a nearby rock.

The green bamboo's forepaws crushed the rocks, and the illusory moon behind it swelled, instantly spreading the pressure of an eighth-tier beastman.

It is the evolved version of the Azure Moon Howling Wolf - the Moon Chasing Sky Wolf.

Xuanming watched this scene from afar, his face instantly turning green, and the smugness and arrogance he had felt during his breakthrough vanished without a trace.

A hint of jealousy appeared on his usually unrestrained face as he muttered, "Why am I the only one who hasn't evolved?"

Not only did it fail to evolve, it's also stuck at the peak of the seventh tier...

Is it really necessary to be so infuriating?
Qingzhu instantly transformed into human form, her emerald green eyes looking at him, and she said in a teasing voice, "It's a matter of character."

Xuan Ming's face grew even uglier: "What the hell is this about character? I didn't kill anyone or set fires..."

Despite the criticism, it's understood that evolution is a matter of probability, and luck plays a significant role.

I can only say that I wasn't as lucky as them.

Then, turning her gaze towards Mo Lin, she felt a pang of reluctance that Mo Lin would evolve.

Ideally, someone like myself would break through, but then just get stuck at the peak of the seventh rank.

But things didn't go as planned, as if they were deliberately working against him.

Suddenly, towering waves burst open on the sea surface, and Mo Lin's black serpentine body broke through the water. Shedding its old skin, it was covered with purplish-black scales, and bone wings broke out from its ribs—it was the true form of the ancient Teng Snake.

Xuanming's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "Damn it!"

Qingzhu looked at him mockingly: "Admit it, you are the weakest among us."

Xuanming instantly revealed his gleaming white teeth, "Weak? I'll show you what Netherworld Dark Flame is all about!"

Dark flames rose from his palm, but Ye Ling slapped them away with one palm: "If you want to cause trouble, wait until you find Yue'er."

Xuanming snorted, and the Netherworld Dark Flame was completely withdrawn.

Qingzhu, too lazy to argue with this brute, turned her gaze to Mo Lin, who had descended from the sky and transformed into human form. "You look rather like..."

"Tengshe" (Soaring Serpent).

Mo Lin explained in a low voice, then said with a complicated expression, "My grandfather was originally the sixth elder of the Tengshe clan in the Upper Domain."

Xuanming was so shocked he almost fell off the reef: "The sixth elder of the Tengshe clan in the Upper Realm? Then how did you end up in the Lower Realm, and in fact, your true form is a black snake?"

At this moment, he felt his mind go blank and couldn't figure out the key to it at all.

Ye Ling and Qing Zhu also looked at Mo Lin with astonishment.

I never imagined that Mo Lin had such a powerful background.

All they knew was that Mo Lin had been hunted down by the Snake Tribe in his early years, but was rescued by Su Lie at a critical moment and then taken back to the Wolf Tribe to recover from his injuries.

He stayed with the wolf tribe afterward.

No one knows why Mo Lin was hunted down by the Snake Tribe.

Mo Lin himself has never mentioned it.

Mo Lin lowered his eyes and stared at the sea, memories flooding back: "I was only three years old when my Teng Snake bloodline was stripped away."

Xuanming gasped in shock. It was a miracle that the orc cubs, whose blood had been drained alive, had survived.

The rocks beneath his feet cracked like spiderwebs, clearly enraged, and he couldn't help but curse, "Those bastards!"

Ye Ling and Qing Zhu were also shocked. What could have happened to be so cruel as to attack a three-year-old child?
In any tribe, cubs are protected, let alone having their bloodline taken away.

But the two of them didn't rush to ask questions; they just listened attentively.

The waves crashed against the black reefs.

Mo Lin looked at the totem mark that appeared in his palm: "Twenty years ago, the position of Tengshe clan chief changed, and the new clan chief purged the opposition."

His voice was colder than the sea. "My grandfather fled to the lower realm with my father, mother, and me when I was three years old. Unfortunately, we were still discovered and chased all the way. My father and mother died at their hands, and my grandfather was also gutted and skinned and dismembered on the spot. I was young at the time, so I escaped with my life, but I was stripped of my Teng Snake bloodline."

Memories flooded my mind: that day, the torrential rain poured down, and the three-year-old cub had its Teng Snake bloodline drained, curled up in the grass, barely alive.

His throat bobbed: "At the time, I thought I was going to die, but I was unexpectedly picked up by the Serpent Tribe of the Lower Domain. Because of the residual aura of the Teng Serpent, I was raised as someone with ancestral blood..."

Ye Ling frowned and looked at him, unable to help but ask, "Since you were raised as a person with ancestral bloodline, why were you hunted down later?"

Mo Lin suddenly sneered, "Because during the sixteen-year awakening ceremony, they discovered that I had a Teng Snake venom sac hidden inside my body."

Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, then she understood.

The venom sac of the Teng Snake is a talent even more precious than bloodline, no wonder it is coveted.

He had always wondered why Mo Lin's venom was far more potent than that of ordinary snake venom.

It is incomparable to any other snake-like beast.

Xuanming grew increasingly furious as he listened: "Damn it! So those bastards from the Snake Tribe wanted to dig out your venom sac?"

The waves suddenly burst open, and Mo Lin's snake tail stirred up a foul wind: "They nailed me to the altar and skinned me alive, but an old orc from the snake tribe who raised me secretly released me in the middle of the night."

His cold eyes reflected the blood-red setting sun. "Unfortunately, he died after being discovered."

Ye Ling suddenly opened her third eye, and frost spread along the sea surface: "After we find Yue'er and return to the Lower Realm, I will accompany you to slaughter the Snake Tribe."

"Add me one."

The illusory image of the moon behind the green bamboo suddenly expanded.

The Dark Netherfire instantly erupted from his palm: "I'm going to burn down their snake nest!"

Mo Lin's gaze swept across the sea, looking into the distance, and he said with a complicated expression, "We should go."

On this trip to the Upper Realm to find Yue'er, we might encounter the Tengshe clan. It'll be a good opportunity to settle the score from twenty years ago.

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly transformed into the true form of the Teng Snake, his bone wings spreading out to blot out the sky, and his snake tail whipping up Xuanming as he soared into the sky.

Night Feather spread its silver wings, grabbed a green bamboo and threw it on its back, transforming into a streak of light and soaring into the sky.

Meanwhile, in the high-altitude clouds not far from the summit of Qingqiu Mountain.

Su Xiyue sat on Xuan Yuanming's dragon back, grabbing the dragon's horns and screaming, "Fly slower, you scared me to death!"

The Xuanyuan Minglong tumbled in the air, deliberately swooping down from the clouds, startling her so much that she clung tightly to its neck.

"Isn't Yue'er in a hurry to see that fox?"

His manic and joyful laughter mingled with the dragon's roar.

"you…"

Su Xiyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and was about to curse.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in his mind: "Host, Bai Qi is participating in the Life and Death Ritual and is about to undergo the baptism of nine lightning tribulations."

She frowned instantly. Bai Qi was severely injured after losing his tail. How could he possibly withstand nine lightning tribulations?
I couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?"

The system explained at lightning speed: "In order to restore his severed tail, Bai Qi can only participate in the Qingqiu Festival. Only by defeating the disciples of this sect can he be qualified to enter the Sacred Pool. However, before participating in the festival, he must first undergo the baptism of nine lightning tribulations. This is also a rule of Qingqiu Mountain."

Su Xiyue's heart pounded, and she gripped the dragon's horns tightly, her voice trembling: "Xuanyuan Ming, quick, go to the Qingqiu altar immediately!"

The dragon roared, its tail sweeping across the clouds, and the fierce wind tore the mountain mist to shreds.

The fox guards below suddenly became agitated, and their whistles echoed through the mountain stream.

The aura of the dragon race was like the sounding of war drums to Qingqiu.

"Hey, hey, hey... I told you to hurry up, not to barge into someone else's territory. Do you want to fight?"

She sat astride the dragon's back, her brow twitching, and shouted urgently.

The voice just fell.

Nine beams of light suddenly burst forth from the summit of Qingqiu Mountain, and the fox guards transformed into their original forms, roaring as they charged forward. The sky was ablaze with foxfire, turning the clouds a golden-red hue.

Xuanyuan Minglong's eyes were crimson as he charged straight at the foxfire, shouting, "Get out of my way!"

Where the dragon's tail swept, rocks crumbled, and Su Xiyue was nearly thrown off by the jolting motion.

She suddenly felt her sore spot and threatened through gritted teeth, "If you go crazy again, I'll peel off your scales!"

The black dragon braked suddenly, and the clouds exploded with shockwaves.

"Would you be willing to part with her, Yue'er?"

Long Yin, his voice soft and gentle, was tinged with a sickly smile, but he did not continue his madness.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Su Xiyue continued angrily, "Go down, and be more polite to them."

Xuanyuan Ming chuckled softly, his dragon body spiraling down, transforming into human form as he landed and protectively held Su Xiyue in his arms.

The Qingqiu guards immediately surrounded him, staring at him warily.

He secretly lamented: Oh dear, how did this madman from the Dragon Clan manage to break into Qingqiu Mountain?
Anyone else would have attacked directly, but the orc in front of him was a young dragon lord.

Even if they're crazy, they can't just take action recklessly.

Otherwise, that would be offending the dragon race.

"The young lord of the Dragon Clan has trespassed into Qingqiu. What is his intention?"

The leader of the nine-tailed fox guards stepped forward and said.

The attitude is quite polite.

Xuan Yuanming toyed with Su Xiyue's hair with his fingertips, then suddenly flicked out a dragon-patterned token.

The token embedded itself three inches into the ground, causing the foxes to take a half-step back.

"Do I need to report to you that I'm bringing my partner back to my parents' home?"

A playful smile curved his lips as he spoke casually.

The phrase "bringing your partner back to your parents' home" left everyone present completely bewildered.

Su Xiyue was completely bewildered. She was a female wolf, not a fox. How did coming to Qingqiu Mountain become like returning to her parents' home?
The fox guards' gazes immediately fell on Su Xiyue, full of scrutiny.

It was immediately obvious that this was a female wolf, and a very ordinary one at that.

Although it wasn't in its true form, the aura of the female wolf couldn't fool them.

It's not a nine-tailed fox at all, and it's not even a fox.

Going back to one's parents' home—isn't that pure nonsense?
The lead fox guard withdrew his gaze, then looked at Xuan Yuanming and sneered, "A wolf female coming to Qingqiu to return to her maternal home? Is the Dragon Lord joking?"

I couldn't help but think to myself, "He really is a madman, otherwise how could he say such crazy things?"

Xuan Yuanming suddenly chuckled, "Who says you have to go back to your maiden home to be a fox?"

He wrapped his arm around Su Xiyue's waist. "My Yue'er's sworn brother is visiting Qingqiu Mountain. I brought her here to visit relatives. What, is that not allowed?"

She was completely bewildered. She grabbed Xuan Yuanming by the waist and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Bai Qi is clearly me!"

"Shhh."

The man tilted his head and bit her earlobe. The dragon's hot breath made her shiver. "It's just an excuse, to fool these foxes in Qingqiu Mountain."

After saying that, he led Su Xiyue inside, and the fox guards could no longer stop them.

It's not about whether or not to go back to one's parents' home, but rather about Xuan Yuanming's identity.
