Chapter 25 Crushing the Gates of the Rain Prince's Mansion
Chapter 25 Crushing the Gates of the Rain Prince's Mansion
"Are you the village chief from our ancestral home?"
Shi Zhongtian's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even within the Martial King's Mansion, few people knew of the existence of the ancestral land; most knew of the second ancestral land.
What he found even more unbelievable was that Shi Yunfeng, who came from the ancestral land, was just an ordinary Cave Heaven Realm cultivator.
"It seems that our ancestral land has declined."
Shi Zhongtian looked somewhat dejected, but quickly rallied.
So what if our ancestral homeland has declined?
Now that they have risen to prominence, they can give back to their ancestral homeland and fellow clansmen.
"Village chief, you are injured. Please rest in your residence for a few days. I will send someone to treat your injuries."
"Thank you very much, Brother Fifteen."
Shi Yunfeng cupped his hands in greeting, remaining neither humble nor arrogant despite it being his first time visiting such a magnificent place.
This demeanor pleased Shi Zhongtian greatly. People from the ancestral land, regardless of their talent, must have a certain air about them.
If one fawns upon the powerful Prince's residence and acts obsequiously, one will only invite contempt.
Those who cultivate themselves should strive for self-improvement and possess an invincible spirit.
Shi Ziling opened the cave, took out the Pixiu and Fei Yi inside, and also took out more than a dozen jars.
"Father, save this essence blood for Hao'er's baptism and medicinal bath. As for the meat of these ferocious beasts, let's have a feast tonight to entertain the village chief."
"That's a good suggestion."
Shi Zhongtian laughed heartily.
He took Shi Yunfeng away to treat his injuries.
Shi Zhongtian had only taken two steps when he turned back and took the child from Qin Yining's arms.
Only Shi Ziling and his wife remained in the original location.
Qin Yining looked at Shi Ziling tenderly, the worry on her face finally disappearing, revealing a bright smile.
She leaned gently against Shi Ziling, her hand softly resting on his waist, and then...
Twist it hard.
"Hiss~"
Shi Ziling gasped, his eyes widening in shock.
"Wife, be gentle, be gentle."
"Do you know how worried your father and I were about you? Rumors are circulating that you killed a Pixiu, were chased by adult Pixiu and Fei Yi, and died in the Great Wilderness."
Qin Yining not only did not loosen her grip, but instead tightened her grip even more.
"If you hadn't repeatedly told me to, my father and I would have taken Hao'er to the Great Wilderness to find you long ago."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and the tip of her nose turned red.
Shi Ziling quickly pulled her into his arms, gently stroked her hair, and softly comforted her.
"Do you know how scared I was when my sister-in-law told me you were being hunted down? I was afraid you would perish."
Qin Yining bit her lip and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
"Do you know who I encountered on the battlefield of the Hundred Races?"
Shi Ziling suddenly asked.
"Who?"
"The Rain Clan, and the people of Demon Spirit Lake."
Shi Ziling sneered.
Qin Yining frowned slightly. "So, my sister-in-law and the others really were involved?"
"I think if it weren't for them, the Rain Clan wouldn't have set up a five-fold array against me, and even brought out the Eight Fiend Swords and the Divine Decree."
"A divine decree?"
Qin Yining's face was grim.
Anything related to deities possesses immense power, which even kings and nobles cannot hinder.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Although she had seen Shi Ziling return safely, she was still shaken, for that was a relic of a deity.
"Don't worry, it's just a relic of a dead god; it can't do anything to me."
Shi Ziling remained calm.
If a deity appears, he is helpless.
But if they were just a bunch of useless people at the Spirit Transformation Realm, he wouldn't be afraid of the divine relics they offered.
It's nothing but a piece of trash that can ignite the divine fire.
"I can't believe my sister-in-law and her family went this far!"
Qin Yining frowned, then continued, "Once when I took Hao'er out, Shi Yi stopped and watched from a distance, staring intently at Hao'er."
Later, my sister-in-law told me about you being chased, and she was also observing Hao'er, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Shi Yi has examined it, so he should have discovered Hao'er's Supreme Bone. In that case, we must be even more cautious in the future."
Shi Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly, never expecting things to escalate to this point.
Shi Yi, Shi Yi, if your Supreme Bone is removed, you can be reborn. If your Double Pupils are removed, can you also be reborn?
He slowly turned his head and looked into the distance, where Shi Ziteng's mansion was located.
However, he did not react immediately.
In the battlefield of the Hundred Clans, Shi Ziling has already attracted enough hatred. Now we need to give Pixiu some time, some time to find Shi Ziteng.
Now, the most urgent task is...
Shi Ziling picked Qin Yining up and buried her face in his chest, rubbing against her roughly.
"What are you doing? Don't do this, Ziling, we're outside, we haven't even gone inside yet."
"Ziling~"
Qin Yining blushed deeply and playfully punched Shi Ziling with her delicate fist.
For Shi Ziling, this level of punch was more of a flirtation.
"Then let's just go into the room."
Shi Ziling carried Qin Yining and strode into the house.
With a thought, an array lit up inside the room, isolating all sound.
Then, shouts and yells began, continuing incessantly.
The soft, solid wood bed suffered damage; its legs nearly broke, and the bluestone slabs on the ground cracked.
Shi Ziling cleared all the levels and unlocked different skills, finally feeling satisfied.
...
Rain tribe.
"Shi Ziling is back?"
The elders of the Rain Clan stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
None of the powerful figures they sent out to assassinate Shi Ziling returned, but Shi Ziling, who was being chased by the Pixiu, returned first.
This makes it hard not to wonder whether the people who were chasing Shi Ziling are still alive.
"When he returned, he was riding that terrifying three-headed dragon, completely unharmed, as if the old Pixiu had not caused him any harm."
"To be able to escape from the Venerable One's grasp, one's strength is truly terrifying."
Some pondered, in this era where gods do not appear, the Venerable Ones are almost considered to be at the highest level of combat power.
Even in ancient kingdoms with a history spanning millions of years, the emperor was only at the Venerable Realm.
"Perhaps it was just luck. According to the news, he seems to have left the Hundred Races Battlefield through a teleportation array, so he probably didn't have a direct confrontation with the Pixiu."
"Nonsense, he's only at the Formation Realm. If he could go toe-to-toe with a Pixiu, that would be terrible!"
The Rain Clan members were all discussing amongst themselves, but their expressions were not very pleasant.
Regardless, Shi Ziling survived!
Their targeting of Shi Ziling will likely provoke retaliation.
"Elder Zong, what should we do next? Should we report to the Rain King?"
Some people have expressed doubts, believing that this matter is no longer something they can control.
"The Rain King..."
Rumble!
Just as Elder Zong was about to speak, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, shaking the entire palace complex.
"What's going on?"
"There are enemies!"
Many powerful figures rose at the same time, transforming into streaks of light and rushing towards the gate of the Rain King's Mansion.
They saw a giant foot, thousands of feet long, descend from the sky, crushing the magnificent gatehouse to pieces and leaving a huge crater in the ground.
"You bastards from the Rain Clan, all of you get out here!"
