I have the best bloodline

I've run several miles already, but I haven't seen any living beings or villages, or discovered any powerful cultivators coming to investigate the meteorite crash.

"Is the Immortal Realm really that sparsely populated? Don't the Black Fish Monster and the Tadpole Demon always say that the Immortal Realm is overcrowded with creatures, and that you have to squeeze through the water to swim in the rivers?"

"Even the princess's retrieval device can catch some unlucky souls every few hours. How come I can't find a single living creature when it comes to me?"

"Could something have happened on this road?" Su Yan muttered to himself as he ran for his life, and immediately sped up his escape. Before long, he caught up with a group of large but slow-moving demonic beasts.

Without saying a word, Su Yan slipped inside and began eavesdropping on the conversations of the immortal natives.

These two chapters will introduce the situation in the Immortal Realm. Then we'll head to the Wilderness Palace.

Chapter 545 Ancestor Hongyun

"It's terrifying. We were in the middle of a sexual encounter when a calamity struck, and all the women ran away. I don't even know if they were pregnant or not. If I die before they are, it would be such a waste."

The old ox ran wildly through the forest, mooing and complaining that the meteorite had just fallen and ruined his and his little female ox's good time. Meanwhile, the other monsters were also complaining about how fast humans could run.

Having infiltrated the demon beast clan, Su Yan climbed onto the back of the old ox and lay there, his fox ears perked up, eavesdropping on the demon beasts' complaints.

"The calamity they're talking about... could it be the return of the Undying Evil Witch? Judging from their practiced escape, it means the return of the Undying Evil Witch is quite common in the Celestial Realm?"

Su Yan looked thoughtful as he began to consider the information revealed by the monsters.

Su Yan came from the cultivation world. He knew that when he arrived in the immortal realm, all the beings in the cultivation world were falling from the high point of the immortal realm's starry sky to the low point. In addition, Su Yan encountered the Star Giant who was smuggling himself across the void.

Therefore, Su Yan had reason to suspect that the calamity the monsters spoke of was the return of the immortal evil witch.

According to Senior Bai Ze, the Undying Evil Witch is relatively harmless when it is far from the Immortal Realm, but when it returns to the Immortal Realm, its spiritual platform will automatically connect to the Netherworld and undergo reshaping and evolution.

This also aligns with their description of how, when a calamity strikes, the creature goes berserk and grows stronger by consuming other creatures.

………………

The descent of a calamity star triggered a riot that swept through the entire town of Qingsong, during which both humans and demons fled.

Although the so-called calamity star did not cause any major changes in the heavens and earth after its arrival, the great escape still lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. Along the way, many demons and humans were so exhausted that they collapsed on the ground, panting and looking back at the place where the calamity star landed.

Su Yan, who was lying on the back of the old ox, felt a little out of place looking at the scene. It was somewhat different from the image of the immortals in his mind.

Along the way, the humans and demons they saw had different levels of cultivation, but if we were to draw an average line, the young men were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the older ones could reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage.

The person referred to as the village chief by the human race was not as mysterious as Su Yan had imagined. His cultivation level hovered around the Nascent Soul stage, rather than being a terrifying existence at the Earth Immortal or True Immortal level.

"What are you looking at? There are no rats for you to eat, go away, go away, go away."

Su Yan observed the villagers' gazes. Although it wasn't exactly blatant, the village chief of Qingsong Town still noticed Su Yan lying on the old ox's back.

On the back of a large black bull, a fluffy white ball was so conspicuously visible.

The village chief of Qingsong Village appeared slightly wary, watching Su Yan speak and making a shooing motion to prevent Su Yan from continuing to observe the people of Qingsong Town. He was worried that this fox might get hungry in the middle of the night and use the people of Qingsong Town as a snack.

"What kind of biological control is this?!"

In his heart, Su Yan secretly criticized the village chief's words, thinking to himself that he would never eat a big black rat.

"Are you the village chief?"

Su Yan jumped off the back of the big black ox, landed on the ground, looked at the village chief, and asked him about his identity.

When the old ox saw a white shadow suddenly jump out from its back, it was startled and let out a moo. Instinctively, it tried to escape by exerting force with its limbs, but because it was startled, its four legs started fighting on the spot and it slipped and fell to the ground.

"what's up?"

The village chief of Qingsong stepped out from the seated crowd, looked at Su Yan who had asked about his identity, his expression slightly solemn, and took out an old, bloodstained bell from his pocket and said, "If you're hungry and want to ask some villagers for a treat, then I'll have no choice but to knock your teeth out."

The Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage. The Nascent Soul stage fox definitely couldn't defeat him, but the village chief wasn't confident he could intercept all the fox's spells and ensure that the villagers behind him wouldn't be affected by the fox demon's foxfire.

Therefore, they had no choice but to adopt a tough stance and issue warnings and threats to Su Yan.

"I eat chicken legs and cooked food."

Su Yan waved her hand, signaling the old man to calm down, and slowly said, "No offense intended. I am Su Yan, a white fox who happened to be passing by and encountered a calamity star descending to earth and fleeing."

"I just wanted to ask for directions, I meant no harm."

Asking for directions?

Seeing Su Yan take two steps back and squat down, the village chief's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he put the bell back in his arms and said, "Where do you want to go? If it's a relatively large city nearby, I know some things that can answer your questions. If it's too remote, you'll have to go to a big city to ask."

"I don't know where they are either. All I know is that they come from a major sect called Liuyun Sect." Su Yan said, then quickly scanned his surroundings, observing the reactions of the humans and demons.

The moment the words "Liuyun Sect" were uttered, the expressions on the faces of the human race changed drastically.

"Why are you asking about Liuyun Sect?" the village chief asked, his expression unchanged.

“I come from Luqi Mountain in Dasha River. My friend was captured by the Liuyun Sect. I have come here and have no idea how to get there. I can only ask someone for directions.”

Seeing the intense reaction from the other side, Su Yan spoke up and revealed the real name of the wilderness, explaining why he was looking for the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Although this was Su Yan's first time in the Immortal Realm, he had a lot of information about it in his mind, all of which had been collected for him by the princess. However, the information he had obtained from the natives was fragmented and could not be pieced together to form a complete picture of the Du Kuang Wilderness.

"Your friends have been captured by the Liuyun Sect?" The village chief said with a slightly strange expression. "From the Dasha River? Your friends are probably dried meat by now."

"Anyone or object captured by the Flowing Cloud Sect will be offered as a sacrifice to that being after undergoing a twenty-one-day purification process."

The Liuyun Sect isn't actually that famous, but in the southern part of the Dukuang Wilderness, any sect or Daoist name containing the character "Yun" is considered extremely unlucky by ordinary living beings.

This is because all matters related to the Yun generation are under the command of the Red Cloud Ancestor in the southern part of the Du Kuang Wilderness.

That was an extremely powerful witch, whose sins amounted to tens of millions. Although they were far apart, the village chief still dared not call out the name of the Red Cloud Ancestor.

Having traveled from the Great Sand River to here, it would have taken at least a year. By then, all of the fox demon's friends would probably be dead.

"Dead? How could that be?" Su Yan's foxy little face showed suspicion as she continued to question the village chief, trying to get more information out of him.

"The Flowing Cloud Sect is merely a subordinate sect of the Red Cloud Palace, a sect responsible for plundering. Anyone falling into their hands basically means their demise," the village chief said, shaking his head. "You've probably made a wasted trip."

"Moreover, with your current cultivation level, it is impossible to snatch someone out of Liuyun Sect. Alternatively, you could offer 100,000 jin of spirit stones as ransom for one person and invite the big shots of Gushe City to negotiate."

The village chief shook his head and said nothing about the white fox's plight.

Life is a journey of birth and death; it is normal to be born today and die tomorrow.

Su Yan arrived too late. Those who fall into the clutches of the Red Cloud Palace only have twenty-one days to live.

"Then perhaps my friends are so talented that they've caught the eye of the Flowing Cloud Sect masters?" Su Yan thought to himself as he saw that the old man was unwilling to speak again, and continued to try to set a trap for him.

"Talent? How good? You're better off hoping people will take advantage of your friend's lack of hygiene and his stench." Village Chief Qingsong waved his hand: "Go back to where you came from. Don't throw your life away. There are no spirit stones and no rescue, understand? People need to eat."

"The big shots in Gushe City are all sealed with lime. Without spirit stones as a stepping stone, no one will care about your affairs."

"Spirit Stone."

Su Yan looked thoughtful and subconsciously looked down at the storage ring in his palm.

Gushe City. They like spirit stones? Moreover, from the village chief's tone, it's clear that the important figures in Gushe City seem to be quite trustworthy, but all of this is predicated on using spirit stones as a stepping stone?

Let's just call it a decent piece of news, shall we?

"Don't be too discouraged. You can always find another friend if you don't have one," the village chief said, trying to comfort Su Yan as he lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of the village chief, Su Yan stopped wasting time with him and casually found a spot to squat down. He then used his spiritual sense to listen to the conversations among the human and demon races.

………………

Su Yan's first stop on this trip was the palace where Senior Bai Ze was staying, the Wilderness Palace. Judging from the names of the Wilderness Palace and the Wilderness region, Su Yan probably knew just how powerful Senior Bai Ze's friend was.

Su Yan blindly guessed that the domain name Du Kuangzhiye came first, followed by Kuangyegong.

Although Su Yan didn't have a map in his mind, Senior Bai Ze had already marked the map and landmarks for him before he left.

Currently, Su Yan is about 23,000 kilometers away from the Wilderness Palace. Therefore, he plans to stay in Qingsong Town for a few days to learn about common knowledge about the Immortal Realm, so that he won't be at a loss as to how to blend in with the crowd if he encounters danger.

"Fox, fox, are you hungry? Let me rub your belly and I'll feed you."

Two days passed, and seeing that the calamity star's arrival had not yet caused any major changes in the heavens and earth, the village chief of Qingsong Village took the lead and sped off to Qingsong Town to observe the situation and see if he could lead the villagers back.

Su Yan curled up on the grass, pretending to sleep, while a little girl from Qingsong Town ran up to Su Yan with a big black rat in her hand, smiling broadly as she handed the rat, which was baring its claws, to him.

"?"

Su Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking back and forth between the little girl and the cursing black rat, a black line gradually appearing on his cheek: "Thank you. I really don't like this kind of food. You can go ask next door."

Su Yan raised his hand and pointed to the group of demons. There were several fox demons inside, but they looked a bit sleazy because they were molting and their fur was completely smooth.

Big black rats are really no good; Su Yan's limit is field mice and bamboo rats in the flower area.

"They're so ugly!"

The little girl glanced to the side, and after clearly seeing the shedding fox that Su Yan was pointing to, she acted as if nothing had happened, and after making a comment that they were too ugly, she continued to look at the round white fox, smiling broadly as she shook the big black rat in her hand.

Nearby, several foxes, almost drooling with envy, stared at the little girl with blank expressions upon hearing this.

Wake up, okay? Look at that fox's smooth and shiny fur and its plump body. It's obvious that the white fox has always been overnourished, coupled with its Nascent Soul stage cultivation. Why would it look down on that big black rat?

How could you possibly win someone over with that stuff? You're hoping that white fox will show its belly? You might as well give us the big black rat to eat and play with.

Several foxes sat in a row, their faces filled with a dazed expression, watching the scene where the well-fed did not know the hunger of the starving.

Although Su Yan kept saying he wasn't hungry and wouldn't eat, the little girl obviously didn't care whether he was hungry or not. She just liked Su Yan's cute fox-like appearance and wanted to come here and mooch some food.

………………

A few more days passed.

The village chief of Qingsong Town returned, confirming that the calamity that had descended had gone far away, and everyone could go home and continue their daily lives.

"Village chief, I'm leaving."

Having gathered most of the information using his appearance, Su Yan stood up, waved to the village chief Qingsong after seeing him return, and then prepared to leave.

"Thank you for your trouble. Take these with you! You'll need them on your way home."

The village chief of Qingsong Village was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Su Yan to still be there. But judging from Su Yan's words and actions, it was obvious that he was waiting for him to return.

Faced with such a grateful fox, the village chief of Qingsong Village took out a bag from his mouth, took out some herbs from the bag and handed them to Su Yan, saying, "They're not worth much, but they have some of Lady Gushe's scent on them, which can drive away some big birds that are being nosy."

The wilderness of Dukuang is a plain, and it is inevitable to encounter some birds of prey when traveling in this area.

They're not necessarily hungry; sometimes they might just be bored and swoop down to scratch your head and crack it open.

Small-sized demons like Su Yan are most vulnerable to attacks from those mischievous birds of prey.

Although the items were not particularly valuable, they represented the sentiments of Village Chief Qingsong.
