My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1723 - 1694: The Qilin Cries Blood

"Clang!!"

The iron staff in Bai Shi’s hand shrank back to its original size and flew straight away into the distance, not knowing how far it went.

In the air, layers of mysterious power emerged on Li Chen’s body, supporting him to pull back Bai Shi, who was almost blasted away.

But as for the iron staff, Li Chen really couldn’t stop it.

Because at this moment, he was also injured, and his True Yuan was significantly depleted.

Opposite Li Chen and his companion, Yue Gouchen stood with his arms at his sides, his brows tightly knit together.

At the corner of his mouth, a faint trace of blood appeared.

Even he was injured in the collision just now.

This made Yue Gouchen feel very uncomfortable.

Who was he? The Star Lord of Earth Prison Star, a distinguished Kuotian Realm King, yet he was injured by the joint efforts of someone at the Zuitian Realm and the Higher Heaven Realm.

Though both were Heavenly Kings, the difference in cultivation among Heavenly Kings, though not crucial, occupied a fairly important position.

However, after glancing at Li Chen and Bai Shi, he didn’t act rashly but instead looked up at the sky.

The thunderous sound came too strangely and abruptly.

Not only Yue Gouchen, but even Li Chen had no intention of acting.

Behind Li Chen, six jet-black luminous beads rotated for a moment before suddenly disappearing. At this moment, Li Chen, like Yue Gouchen, looked up at the sky.

Li Chen was different from others; when he advanced to the Heavenly King, he had endured the Purple Gold Thunder, which appeared only during the Heavenly Venerable Thunder Tribulation.

And he was sure that not even the Purple Gold Thunder he once endured made as much commotion as the thunder just now.

"What on earth is going on?"

Li Chen’s eyes suddenly sharpened, looking towards the distance.

Over there, he saw a figure rapidly approaching.

This figure moved extremely fast, though somewhat unstable, seemingly injured, yet its aura was so formidable that it startled Li Chen.

"Whoosh—"

Bai Shi retrieved his iron staff, glanced cautiously at Yue Gouchen, then turned his gaze to Li Chen.

Li Chen gently shook his head, still remaining vigilant, but his eyes were fixed on the swiftly approaching figure.

Evidently choosing a truce, Yue Gouchen was also taken aback.

In fact, it was the best opportunity for Li Chen to act just now.

After colliding with Bai Shi, he too was heavily injured by the shockwave, almost losing his breath. Had Li Chen acted at that moment, he might have suffered greatly, but now he had caught his breath, things were different.

Similarly, he noticed that Li Chen’s attention seemed to be attracted by something, staring intently in one direction.

"Hmm?"

After a while, Yue Gouchen’s Divine Sense also detected the rapidly approaching figure, feeling unconsciously shocked.

Even he hadn’t noticed it just now, but Li Chen did?

What kind of ability was this?

However, this figure didn’t seem to allow them much time to think; after coming into contact with Yue Gouchen’s Divine Sense, it charged straight at them.

Neither side knew whether it was friend or foe, so both adopted a cautious stance. Similarly, upon seeing the other side doing the same, both parties breathed a sigh of relief.

Given the formidable aura of this figure, aligning with either side could be devastating for the other.

"Sizzling..."

As the figure approached, Li Chen saw clearly that it was a stern youth stepping on a seven-colored auspicious cloud. But the terrifying thing was that, unlike the harmonious and serene cloud under his feet, the young man wore only a worn-out piece of armor.

And through that worn-out armor, one could see the hideous black patterns extending across the youth’s skin.

These patterns seemed to start from his body, spreading to his face, with nearly half of his face covered.

And the youth’s eye on the half of his face covered by black patterns was an eerie red.

"Celestial... Human Race?"

The youth spoke with a rusty tone, as if he hadn’t spoken to anyone in a long time.

"May I ask who you are..." Yue Gouchen’s voice was somewhat grave.

Human Race, a common term, for the entire Heaven Realm wasn’t limited to just one race. But the youth’s terminology posed a problem.

Celestial Human Race!

"Zhu... Yan?" Yue Gouchen frowned further as the youth didn’t look at him but instead murmured to himself while looking at Bai Shi, "The Zhu Yan Clan, still exists!"

"Who are you?" Bai Shi’s gaze was equally curious. Unlike the Human Race, they, the Ancient Races, had inheritance of memories. From this young man, he detected an extremely ancient and familiar aura.

The youth pointed to himself, "I am... from the Qilin Tribe, possibly the last member of the Qilin Tribe in the Heaven Realm."

When speaking of ’the last one,’ the side of his face not covered by the black patterns suddenly cracked at the corner of the eye, and silent tears of blood flowed down.

Qilin Tribe?

Hearing the young man’s words, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

After a long while, it seemed as though something dawned on Yue Gouchen, and his face suddenly changed.

He remembered that when the previous Star Lord had passed the position to him, he mentioned something.

On the Earth Prison Star, there was a seal—a portal leading to other Great Realms! And this portal was guarded by the Qilin Clan!

But so much time had passed that... even he was about to forget!

The youth looked rather desolate, glancing at the group, a bitter smile on his face, "The seal is broken. My Qilin Clan fulfilled our promise to the Heaven Realm, fought to the last one for the Heaven Realm. If not for leaving one to deliver the message, I should also have ceased to exist by now."

"Enemies from the Demon Realm have already started entering through the portal. It wasn’t our fault, but someone from your Heaven Realm broke the seal willingly! Also, tell those in charge of the Heaven Realm, the Qilin Clan are not traitors!!"

He roared the last sentence, and due to the force of the shouts pulling at his wounds, blood began to gush from his body, and he fainted with a roll of his eyes.

Meanwhile, Li Chen also recognized the grave injuries this Qilin youth had already sustained.

Despite such severe wounds, the youth could still move at such speed, reflecting his terrifying strength.

And his final words left Li Chen’s mind shaken.

As for Yue Gouchen, his expression drastically changed, hastily pulling out a Message Jade Slip, contacting who knew who.

Li Chen and Bai Shi were left in utter shock.

The seal is broken?

Connecting passage to the Demon Realm opened deep within Remnant Cloud Forest?
