Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 501 - 465 Unwelcome Visitor

At the moment Qin Qing infused spiritual power, the White Tiger Green Jade in the palm of his hand suddenly cracked into pieces.

And from within it, a beam of white light shot out, followed by the White Tiger pattern that existed within, suddenly flying out to truly transform into a lifelike spirit beast, the White Tiger!

"All clan members!"

The spirit beast White Tiger suddenly spoke, its gaze sweeping over all the villagers of Tuling Village.

"I am your ancestor..."

As the spirit beast White Tiger spoke, it transformed into human form.

This made all the villagers of Tuling Village widen their eyes in shock.

"It’s the ancestor!"

"It’s our ancestor. Just like the portrait in Great Uncle Seven’s house!"

The villagers of Tuling Village immediately knelt down again, paying reverence to the figure in the void!

"We are descendants of the White Tiger Clan. In the past, we followed the Saint Master to Tian Nian Star, but later encountered a disaster. My White Tiger Clan declined, and to preserve the last spark of life, I brought my clan members here and concealed our identities... forbidding anyone to cultivate."

"I am already dead. I died at the hands of my enemies... This is the last bit of spiritual power I left behind, together with a drop of essence blood."

"Soon, I will use this last drop of essence blood to stimulate your bloodlines. Listen well, my clan members, from now on, you must revere this person as the Saint Master!"

As the figure in the sky spoke, it also bowed respectfully towards Qin Qing, "Saint Master, please accept my, Su Kong’s, respects. Su Kong failed to protect the Saint Master in the past, and it is my fault!"

"Su Kong? Saint Master?" Qin Qing frowned in confusion, "You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not your Saint Master!"

"No! You were able to activate the bloodline of my White Tiger Clan, which means you are undoubtedly the Saint Master! It’s just that you might not remember the past events yet, but it doesn’t matter... one day, you will know!"

Having said that, Su Kong showed a look of sorrow and said sadly, "It’s a pity that Su Kong can no longer follow by the Saint Master’s side. If only I could be reincarnated, that would be wonderful; I would surely follow the Saint Master to battle the heavens once again... I truly miss the days before the ancient times."

"Saint Master, farewell! The White Tiger Clan’s bloodline will soon be activated, and all members of the White Tiger Clan, from now on, must honor the name of the Saint Master and must not defy in any way! Otherwise, they shall face divine punishment!"

While Su Kong’s voice was still echoing, the next moment, he once again transformed back into the form of a White Tiger.

Afterward, he pounced towards the ancient tree beside Qin Qing.

"Buzz buzz..."

In an instant, the void trembled violently.

Prodigious seven-colored divine light then radiated from the ancient tree.

The ancient tree silently shattered into countless fragments floating in the air.

Countless tree trunks, branches, and leaves appeared in the air, enveloping the entire Tuling Village.

At the same time, a giant White Tiger phantom manifested in the void...

At this moment, the people of Tuling Village all closed their eyes.

They could feel a mysterious and powerful force reviving within their bodies.

Then, those tree trunk fragments and leaf detritus in the void all flew towards the villagers of Tuling Village and... disappeared one after another into their bodies.

"Roar roar roar..."

Everyone’s bloodline began to boil, their aura climbing incessantly.

At the same time, the sound of a White Tiger’s roar exploded from within their bodies. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Especially the members of the hunting team, who were already very strong.

Now, after awakening the White Tiger bloodline, their bodies grew taller, their muscles became even more robust, bursting their shirts open and revealing sinewy muscles.

This process lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

After a quarter of an hour, all the villagers of Tuling Village had completely transformed.

Each person’s facial expression and the temperament emanating from their bodies were completely different from before.

"So it turns out... The villagers of Tuling Village are actually descendants of the White Tiger Clan, with the bloodline of the White Tiger Clan flowing in their veins."

"No wonder their martial arts talents are so astonishing!"

Qin Qing was amazed, and at the same time, he felt something extra within his own body.

Pieces of the ancient tree had shattered just now, some of which had entered Qin Qing’s body.

In an instant, Qin Qing had an epiphany and decided to go into seclusion.

This seclusion could potentially allow him to make a great leap forward and enter the next great realm—the Nascent Soul Realm!

————

Half a month quickly passed.

For the villagers of Tuling Village, it was an earth-shattering half-month.

With the White Tiger bloodline, every villager of Tuling Village now possessed an extremely powerful cultivation talent.

In these few days, two people broke through to the Soul Refinement Realm.

These naturally included Su Wanqing, and the other was Su Zhenhu from the hunting team.

At the Qi Condensation Realm Sixth Level, they were able to awaken their Martial Souls.

There were a total of seventeen people in Tuling Village who had reached the Qi Condensation Realm Sixth Level, and all seventeen awakened tiger-type Martial Souls.

Not everyone who is a descendant of the White Tiger Clan is guaranteed to awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul, after all, the White Tiger Martial Soul is a divine-level Martial Soul, very rare.

However, the Martial Artists who are descendants of the White Tiger Clan, the Martial Souls they awaken mostly carry the White Tiger’s inheritance, and are not common tiger-type ferocious beasts.

...

At this moment, outside Tuling Village.

"This is the place!"

"Who would have thought that there could be a village hidden within these deep and ancient forests!"

A group of Martial Artists riding on Lion Eagles landed outside Tuling Village.

From the mounts and attire of these people, it was not difficult to discern that most of these Martial Artists belonged to the Lion Eagle Sect.

"Xu Nian, are you sure that the pattern of the White Tiger Green Jade manifested here in this rundown village?"

Among these people, a young man dressed extravagantly and holding a folding fan spoke up.

Beside him, the young man called Xu Nian immediately stepped forward, smiling as he said, "Young Master Hong, it’s absolutely true. Half a month ago, disciples from our Lion Eagle Sect passed by this place and witnessed the manifestation of the White Tiger Green Jade. They reported back to the Sect as soon as they returned, without a doubt..."

"Good!" the young man known as Young Master Hong nodded and said, "If the White Tiger Green Jade is indeed here, then your Lion Eagle Sect has done a great service. When I return, I will definitely ensure your Sect gets the credit for this achievement."

"In that case, many thanks to Young Master Hong!" Xu Nian said with great joy upon hearing this.

Although the Lion Eagle Sect could be considered part of the Ancient Sects, it was always regarded as a second-tier Sect, and the gap between them and the first-tier Sects was quite large.

Especially in the last two to three hundred years, they had been in decline.

The last time a genius disciple of the Lion Eagle Sect called Wu Aonian went to the Sword Pavilion for trial, he ended up being killed by a disciple of the Wind-Fire Academy.

When the Sect Master of the Lion Eagle Sect learned of this, he flew into a rage but refrained from taking risks considering the Wind-Fire Academy had a powerhouse like Zhu Jirong at its helm.

At that time, the Wind-Fire Academy nearly met its end, yet the Lion Eagle Sect lacked the confidence to demand an explanation, which showed just how far the Lion Eagle Sect had declined.

And this Xu Nian was the current Young Sect Master of the Lion Eagle Sect.

His father, Xu Heheng, was the current Sect Master of the Lion Eagle Sect.

On this occasion, the Crimson Blood Sect of Yuanlong Province had issued a mission to find the so-called White Tiger Green Jade.

It was said that guided by an ancient scripture left behind by an old ancestor of the Crimson Blood Sect, finding the White Tiger Green Jade and drawing out its essence blood could activate the Sect’s ancient divine formation, allowing the Sect’s powerhouses to advance further, and possibly even giving birth to several new Martial Saint powerhouses, naturally raising the overall strength of the Crimson Blood Sect to a new level.

The Crimson Blood Sect was located in an area close to the border between Yuanlong Province and Tianyong Province, and they had always had dealings with the Lion Eagle Sect.

Once the Lion Eagle Sect learned of the mission issued by the Crimson Blood Sect, they put out a reward in the region for finding the White Tiger Green Jade.

That is why, the last time the members of the Black Horse Gang saw the White Tiger phantom, they burst into Tuling Village, trying to find the White Tiger Green Jade.

If they could find the White Tiger Green Jade, they could claim the reward from the Lion Eagle Sect.

In fact, the Lion Eagle Sect was doing the bidding of the Crimson Blood Sect of Yuanlong Province.

This time, the Young Master Hong who came with Xu Nian, was actually the direct disciple of an elder from the Crimson Blood Sect, named Hong Yuan.

"Let’s go! Let’s have a look inside!" Hong Yuan said.

The group strode arrogantly into Tuling Village.

Inside Tuling Village.

The villagers were cultivating.

After over ten days of cultivation, everyone had undergone a transformation, with a stark contrast in demeanor from before.

Seeing the sudden intrusion of these people, the villagers also realized that trouble had probably come knocking on their door.

However, thanks to the cultivation of the past few days and the awakening of their bloodlines, the reactions of Tuling Village’s villagers had become much quicker.

"What village is this?"

As the group approached, Hong Yuan was the one who asked.

Su Wu, with an unchanged expression, stepped forward a few paces and cupped his hands, saying, "This is Tuling Village."

"Tuling Village?"

Hong Yuan looked at the villagers of Tuling suspiciously, secretly amazed.

He could tell that all of these people were Martial Artists.

How could such an ordinary village have so many Martial Artists?

"What is so special about your Tuling Village that every one of you is a Martial Artist?" Hong Yuan continued to ask.

Su Wu responded, "Replying to the esteemed sir, our village has practiced Martial Arts for generations, and the ancestors taught us simple methods of Martial Cultivation. However, as you can see, we are only practicing some basic Martial Arts Secret Techniques, so our Cultivation Realms are not worth mentioning."

Hong Yuan scanned them again and saw that although there were fluctuations of Spiritual Power from these people, just as Su Wu had said, their auras were weak and their Spiritual Power was not pure. The Cultivation Realm of most was just at the Tempering Body Realm, and even those at the Soul Refinement Realm had only just stepped into it.

Their Cultivation Realms indeed weren’t worth mentioning.

"Half a month ago, did any of you see this item?"

As he spoke, Hong Yuan took out a piece of paper on which was drawn the White Tiger Green Jade.

The people of Tuling Village instantly fell silent.

Indeed, these newcomers had ill intentions.

"What’s wrong, have you all turned mute?" Xu Nian stepped forward, pointing at Qin Qing and the others as he shouted angrily.

"This is Young Master Hong of the Crimson Blood Sect from Yuanlong Province. If you have seen this item, hand it over honestly. Young Master Hong will not forget to reward you! However, if you dare to withhold information, and if we find out, don’t blame us for being impolite!"

Xu Nian coldly threatened.
