In just one night the Vermilion Bird and Lesser Phoenix races were destroyed by one person. It immediately spread in the whole Outer Haven and all the clans and sects heard about this news. Everyone didn’t expect this to happen and no one expected that someone would dare to make a move at the branch clans under the True Phoenix Clan. However, someone had made a move and according to the intel it was the rumored successor of the recently returned Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang.

After the rumors of the Moon Empress return to the Immortal World had been made, a new rumor about the successor of the Immortal Sun Emperor had spread. Now the whole Immortal World has entered an era of new things with things of the past and the present slowly merging together.

At the territory of the Qilin Clan...

The destruction of the Vermilion Bird and the Lesser Phoenix bloodline was learned by them. Silence spreads in the whole hall where the Clan Master and the Elders had gathered for a meeting. But they still sent some scouts to learn the trueth themselves, now those scouts had returned and a messenger had been sent to the clan to report what they had discovered.

"Reporting to the Clan Master and Elders!" said the messenger.

The Master of the Qin clan said, "Go ahead and report. Every single detail."

"Yes. According to the scouts everything in the rumors is true. The Vermilion Bird Clan and the Lesser Phoenix Clan’s main mansions were attacked last night and destroyed. Though the clan isn’t ruined, most elders and the two clan leaders were killed. Not even a bone or a wisp of their souls remains."

"According to those who were alive and witnessed what happened last night. A flying artifact appeared above their territory carrying five people. Two women and three men. Two of them are the young couple who were hunted by a group of young masters and young ladies near the ruins."

"The one who attacked them is a young man in his early thirties. He used the Blessing of the Moon and... the True Sun only the Immortal Sun Emperor can use and is most likely his successor."

"Also... they said..."

The sudden halt on the messenger’s voice made the people in the hall frown.

"What did they say?" Lao Qin asked.

The messenger looked at Elder Lao Qin who had spoken up with gratitude in his eyes and said, "They say the one who attacked called the young couple his daughter and son-in-law. So... this is most likely his revenge for trying to harm his children."

The clan master and the elders of the Qin Clan looked at Lao Qin who escaped thanks to the help of the elder from the Fox Clan. If Lao Qin had attacked Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue that day, Tan Shenyu would have most likely attacked the Qin Clan.

"It’s all thanks to Lao Qin that our Qilin clan survived this ordeal," said Qilin Clan’s Clan Master.

Lao Qin spoke, "It’s not over. Even though I didn’t harm the young couple, but the fifteenth young master had done it."

Silence~

"They would definitely come here. You must compensate them," said Lao Qin.

His words were like a whisper of the devil giving them the feeling of anxiety and fear. Even though the silence was broken for a bit it once again descended in the area leaving the atmosphere in the hall still.

Out of nowhere another messenger came running to the hall with a terrified expression on his face.

"Clan Master! They are here! They are... the Immortal Sun Emperor’s successor and his family. They said... They wanted to see the leader of the clan. They also said... we have no choice," said the messenger.

The Clan Master and the elders had nothing to say as they truly have no choice. If they do not want to end up like the Vermillion Bird and Lesser Phoenix clans, they can only compensate the other side.

"Hurry! Grab some treasures from the Treasury! Grab a quarter... no, get half of everything in it!" said the Clan Master of the Qilin Clan.

Meanwhile at the receiving hall, Tang Ling, Tan Shenyu and his family were waiting for the people of the Qilin Clan to arrive. The servants who were serving them were all nervous, making Tan Shenyu a bad person.

Tan Shenyu said, "What are they so nervous about? It’s not like I will eat them."

"Young Lord, your master is simply just scary and... Have you forgotten you destroyed two clans a few nights ago?" Tang Ling said.

Tan Shenyu said, "I’ve made a move since they’ve tried to harm my daughter and son-in-law. Sending old things that didn’t want to live. What is wrong with me taking revenge!"

"Dad, we need to find grandma and grandpa. The Mistress’s location is still unknown. The last time we spoke to her through her clone, she said that she was lost in some kind of forest," said Tan Bingyu.

Xue Renxue added, "Though there is no way she will be in danger, getting dragged into things seems to be still possible."

The whole Tan family had no words to retort as things had always been like this. Their mistress is a homebody and would love to stay in her home without coming out for years. But as long as one of those by her side comes out, she would be forcibly dragged out in a mess. After all, their mistress is a salted fish that wouldn’t even come out unless there is a need to.

It didn’t take a while for Lao Qin and the Clan Master to arrive followed by the other elders. They were all looking at Tan Shenyu. As soon as they enter the hall, they can feel the powerful power of the sun from the man at the center of the group but there is even more powerful Moon Energy coming from the young couple. Even though Lao Qin had informed him that the young couple is most likely the direct subordinate of the Moon Goddess, seeing is different. The blessing between these four people differs in level. I can say the one with the strongest blessing is on this young lady who is most likely to serve the Moon Goddess.

The Clan Master of the Qilin Clan said, "I am the Clan Master of the Qilin Clan. First, I want to apologize for what my illegitimate son had done. This is our compensation for the young lady and her dao companion."

He gestured to Lao Qin to give a space tool in the shape of a bag towards Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue.

Tan Bingyu didn’t take it right away and glanced at her father and mother who were observing the Clan Master and his clansmen. Sensing that there isn’t any scheming within their expression, he looks at his daughter and nods his head. Only then did Xue Renxue accept the bag. After a few exchanges of pleasantries, the family of Tan Shenyu took his leave. Only when they had left did the people from the Qilin clan take a sigh of relief, especially the elders who are sensitive with bloodlines and elements. The powerful elements of the moon and sun had left them overwhelmed.

"It’s real. This family is indeed connected to the Immortal Sun Emperor, the Moon Goddess and the True Ice Phoenix race!" The Clan Master said. "We were almost exterminated. Elder Lao Qin, we must express our thanks to the Fox clan for informing you about this."

"I understand. I will prepare a gift she likes," said Lao Qin.

As the Qilin clan avoided being exterminated like the Vermilion bird and Lesser Phoenix clan, Tan Shenyu and his family finally decided to head to the territory of the Hidden Tang Sect.

Tan Shenyu and his family were checking their spoils only to be disappointed. The things in this space bag are not that bad nor are they good in their eyes. They have been spoiled by the high quality products from the Moon Goddess. After all, Yue Xuexia only shares good things with her people from pills, to artifacts, to treasures and immortal herbs. Everything is top class and rare. Moreover, she had talent with this kind of job that didn’t require to leave home. There is also a system who spoils her by giving her what she needs the most and Shen Jueyang who only gives her the best.

"Nothing is good. There is only trash," said Tan Shenyu.

Xue Shuyi said, "Darling, you cannot compare what the Mistress gives us to what others give away."

"True. Not even a single one of the herbs are rare. Most of it was just weeds the Mistress fed her rabbit at home," Tan Bingyu said while calling yellow and green grade immortal herbs as grass.

Tang Ling’s thoughts: ’My dear ancestors! That’s a high yellow and green grade of immortal herbs, not grass!? Even the sect only has one or two of them!’

Levels for mutated beasts, and immortal herbs are graded with the rainbow colors with red being the lowest grade and purple (violet) the highest grade.

Xue Renxue said, "Even so, that made the rabbit delicious when roasted. We should replant this and plant some more. Then we can buy some rabbits and feed it with this and we can have our roast rabbit."

Tang Ling’s thoughts: ’They plan to feed a green grade immortal herb to a rabbit!? No, I need to stop them!’

He spoke up and said, "Young Lord, shall we head back to the Hidden Tang Sect now?"

"Um. Better go now. Mom and Dad had gone ahead and are now waiting for us at the sect. As for the Mistress, well she can find us on our own. Moreover, she is wearing a mask artifact unless she told us about it here, it is not possible for us to recognize her," said Tan Shenyu. "Alright! Tang Ling, let’s go!"

The whole family finally decided to head to the Hidden Tang Sect after taking revenge for Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue who were bullied as soon as they landed on this world. They had nothing much to do now so they could only find their elders first.
