“White Emperor Shaohao’s mount?” Hearing these words, Qi Lin truly wanted to curse someone.
This was already no longer an ordinary Demon Beast. To be able to act as the mount of the greatest Divine Name, how was that any different from a Divine Beast. Wu Gu honestly was not too sure, but she had seen in the historical record that White Emperor Shaohao had a mount named “Illusionary Flying Snow,”1 a creature that was between a demon and a spirit. Legend said that it was a Spirit Beast fusion of a qilin and a luan. On the ground, it was a qilin, spreading fortune everywhere, able to travel over water. In the air, it was a luan, bathing the world in snow like an illusion.
And the creature before them was very much like the “Illusionary Flying Snow” from the records.
But just as Qi Lin thought, the Five Regional Heavenly Emperors’ mounts were all Divine Beast level. In cultivation terms, they had reached Truth Return Four Symbols Realm, and instantly killing High Ancient Divine Realm Divine Names was not out of the question for them, let alone against Qi Lin and Wu Gu. The ” Illusionary Flying Snow” in front of them seemed to not have reached that level yet. It flapped its wings through the sky, but it did not have that beautiful scene of immersing the whole world in snow-light either.
Still, this moment of captivation made Wu Gu’s expression gradually turn fervent.
If she could capture this Spirit Beast, then who in the Shaman Spirit Kingdom could resist her.
“We must capture her.”
Wu Gu silently clung to this thought. She flipped her wrist and took out a pill.
This pill was clear as crystal, like a phoenix egg.
“Wu Gu, what are you doing?” Qi Lin was alarmed.
Wu Gu ingested the pill. Her essence-blood and soul seemed to reach nirvana. She whistled towards the sky, issuing a cry like a phoenix’s. Her Realm suddenly reached High Ancient Divine Realm, and her entire body burst into flame all of a sudden as a pair of fiery phoenix wings sprouted from her back.
The woman’s figure flickered, and as if she had truly turned into a phoenix, she attacked the Illusionary Flying Snow in the sky. Her assault was especially fierce, her fists carrying spiraling flames that seemed to bear the power of a flapping phoenix’s wings. The stifling attacks were endless as they thundered towards the Illusionary Flying Snow.
The Illusionary Flying Snow came under attack and whinnied endlessly. That fragile aura about it seemed about to tear apart at any time.
Qi Lin frowned. He could only retreat to the side as he noticed that Wu Gu had completely abandoned reason.
Was this Illusionary Flying Snow so powerful?
Qi Lin was unfamiliar with this Spirit Beast, but it was very strange that he sensed an apparently vague connection between this Spirit Beast and his Divine Intent.
As if he had called it here.
What was going on?
How could the Illusionary Flying Snow allow itself to be taken advantage of. As the White Emperor’s Mount, it still gracefully flapped those silk-like wings after suffering through Wu Gu’s overwhelming phoenix-like flame attack.
Then, spirit-light flashed. In an instant, the Spirit Beast was gone. It was astonishingly fast.
Yet Wu Gu was like a puppet, a puppet for battle. Without any hesitation, she pointed to the side, as if she had already detected her target.
Magic treasure Remnant Of The Void cracked open.
As expected, the Illusionary Flying Snow appeared, and the Remnant Of The Void trapped it. Black light coiled around her long body.
“Sun and moon, rise and fall, trapped by the void!”
Wu Gu used her Divine Energy. The Remnant Of The Void formed a black cage that confined the Illusionary Flying Snow. The magic treasure’s formidable power was sufficient to make the entire pool’s gravity astonishingly increase a hundredfold. Qi Lin felt immense pressure, as if his bones were about to be crushed.
But the Illusionary Flying Snow was indeed worthy of being the White Emperor’s mount.
To be able to receive the favor of the Five Regional Heavenly Emperors, it naturally possessed outstanding abilities. The Illusionary Flying Snow hissed, and its crystalline blue light glowed bright. Its body seemed to grown in size, and its crystal-like body gained a fairly substantial sensation.
Just in terms of height, this water-blue body was even larger than before. While its body did not have obvious muscles and flesh, it nevertheless had a whip-like resilience. The water-blue muslin flesh had a crystal-like beauty. Along the edges it was already showing signs of vanishing. Qi Lin sensed that when this crystal light glowed, the Remnant Of The Void’s Power instantly decreased. “As expected, it is the Illusionary Flying Snow, isn’t it? Very good, submit to me.” Wu Gu did not have any feelings about it. She sneered towards this change.
There was only a single thought in her mind.
She would get it at any cost.
“Million Destiny – Royal Succession!”
Wu Gu pointed her finger, carrying an ear-splitting drone in the air. Her figure already appeared above the crystal body of the Illusionary Flying Snow. The scorching flames on her body formed into a spear on her fingertip. The woman flung the spear, which soared up then ruthlessly plunged down.
With shocking Divine Energy, the whistling in the air grew louder, as if the air itself had been cut in half this moment!
“Bang!!”
The flaming spear shot into the Illusionary Flying Snow’s body. Carrying its spiraling attack, it continuously ground apart its crystal defense.
The Illusionary Flying Snow apparently did not expect this woman to be so formidable, and it blocked in a panic.
Woman and bird clashed with full power, displaying a gorgeous scene.
Qi Lin watched the show from the side, and he also began to scheme in his mind. In the end, he still renounced thoughts of being the fisherman who took both the snipe and clam.
In each person’s heart was the price tag for betrayal. Whether it was morality, psychology, or materialism, the mount of the Western Primordial Heavenly Emperor Shaohao was that price for Wu Gu. That she did not kill Qi Lin was because he was more useful alive than dead, but this Spirit Beast’s value already surpassed everything she possessed in the Shaman Spirit Kingdom until now.
If he interfered, Wu Gu would definitely kill him without remorse.
The Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s Ten Shamans were a bit unfathomable, and Qi Lin did not want to take the risk. Furthermore, this Spirit Beast was indeed beautiful, but he could not handle it.
“Master, hurry and save her.”
Just as he thought this, a gentle voice suddenly spoke in his mind.
Qi Lin was startled, yet he found no one in the surroundings. That voice was fleeting as an illusion, but it was very clear just now. Qi Lin was very certain he had not hallucinated. His heart pounded fiercely all of a sudden, and in his mind, Qi Lin seemingly saw auspicious green light.
With every heavy blow the Illusionary Flying Snow suffered, that green light would pulse fiercely.
“Is this the heart of the qilin?”
Qi Lin suddenly recalled this Illusionary Flying Snow may have appeared because it was drawn by his qilin aura.
Raising his head, he saw that Wu Gu was unstoppable against the Illusionary Flying Snow. Wu Gu’s magic treasure Remnant Of The Void and Divine Energy had sealed the Spirit Beast’s escape paths, and even if Qi Lin wanted to help, he had now way. “Master, get close to her.” That mysterious female voice appeared again.
There was no time for Qi Lin to think. He flew upwards, feigning an appearance of helping. “Sister Wu Gu, I will help you.”
Just at this moment, Qi Lin sensed the green light of the qilin’s heart suddenly dim. That Illusionary Flying Snow seemed to absorb the qilin’s power. It suddenly grew and adopted a qilin-like appearance, spreading auspicious clouds wherever it tread. The Illusionary Flying Snow charged, and the Remnant Of The Void could not withstand the blow. The black curtain shattered, revealing the magic treasure’s original form – a black box.
Wu Gu violently vomited blood.
The spirit-fire on her body was snuffed out, and her breathing instantly weakened to the extreme as she lost consciousness.
Qi Lin caught her while the Illusionary Flying Snow stopped in the air and stared at him. Although there was some hostility, it did not attack. Man and beast briefly locked eyes. The Illusionary Flying Snow whined and soared skyward, becoming a translucent luan that flew towards the innermost sanctum of Changliu, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Qi Lin took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the unconscious Wu Gu. The woman appeared weak to the extreme. Perhaps even the Green Satchel Book would be very hard-pressed to heal her.
“You owe me this time.”
Qi Lin muttered. He then sensed for the qilin heart in his mind, yet he found it had already fallen quiet, as if it was in slumber.
