What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

The giant elephant was terrified; no matter how fast it went, it could never outrun the white celestial river.

"boom!"

Divine light, like a vast ocean, pierced the sky in succession, striking the giant elephant, which let out a miserable cry.

At that moment, its eyes widened in horror, and its massive body exploded with a deafening roar, splattering blood everywhere, utterly annihilated.

The old lion was unable to escape and ultimately met its end with no remains.

Qi Shi'an took the lead, leading the group into Xiling Beast Mountain. He found all the other powerful figures in the mountain and mercilessly destroyed their primordial spirits, storing their physical bodies in his Qiankun bag to be eaten.

Chapter 112 The Past of the Qi Clan

The destruction of Xiling Beast Mountain spread throughout the entire wasteland at an extremely rapid pace.

"The Demon Lord is going to settle scores with all his enemies from back then."

"It's hard to say how many of these pure lands are left. I heard that the Western religion has been eradicated and has completely disappeared from the lower realm."

"Alas, in this life, with the Demon Lord and the Stone Emperor as two great prodigies, who can stand out? I'm afraid even the prodigies of the Upper Realm are no match for the two of them."

The once-dominant Xiling Beast Mountain has finally met such an end, leaving countless people feeling regretful.

Meanwhile, Qi Shi'an and his companions went to Nanyun Mountain and Yi Mountain, only to find that they had long since become ruins, with only a group of weak women and children remaining. All the strong ones had perished because the gods had descended to the mortal realm.

The Rain Clan, the Martial King's Mansion, and the three ancient clans that had survived the chaos were all personally destroyed by Shi Hao.

The past has vanished like dust, and all the forces that destroyed the Heaven-Mending Pavilion back then have been dealt with one by one.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an and his group looked down at the ruins and felt a sense of loss. They had avenged their great enemy, but those who died in that battle would never see the world's prosperity again.

“We have avenged them, and a new great religion will rise again. Those who have passed away will surely feel gratified,” Tao Ye sighed.

Everyone looked into the distance, where many people were clearing away boulders, weeds, and rubble. Construction had already begun to rebuild the mountain gate and reshape the Butian Pavilion.

"Xiao An, elders, it's been a long time."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

With a "whoosh," several figures appeared. Qi Shi'an looked at the person in the middle with a smile on his face.

The visitor was Shi Hao, who brought with him a nine-headed lion, a large red lion, a purple sable, and others.

Qi Shi'an looked around and teased, "It really has been a long time. Where's your wife?"

Upon hearing the word "wife," Shi Hao's face immediately flushed red, and he said angrily, "Get lost! You've been so unreliable ever since you came back. You said you'd be back in five years, but it's been more than six years."

"Ha ha……"

The crowd burst into unrestrained laughter. Although they were in the Xuan Domain, they had heard about the baby's "heroic deeds" and "romantic encounters."

These two people, one in the Desolate Domain and the other in the Profound Domain, are neither exactly peaceful individuals.

After paying their respects and offering prayers together, the group finally departed.

Shi Hao set up a grand banquet in the capital to entertain his fellow disciples, where they drank and sang together.

Shi Hao put his arm around his best friend's shoulder and sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that I won't be able to stay with you for long this time."

"Where are you going to cause trouble again?" Xiong Fei asked instinctively.

Shi Hao said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm going to Mount Immortality to settle scores with someone."

Qi Shi'an asked in confusion, "Have all your lovers and family members ascended to heaven?"

"They've all gone up. If it weren't for that yellow-feathered bird from the Immortal Palace, I wouldn't have had to find another way."

Shi Hao responded, but then frowned and realized something was wrong. What did he mean by "his old flame"?

"Hey, what are you saying? You're just digging into my past. I've heard about you and that witch..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Shi'an covered Shi Hao's mouth, and he could only make muffled "ooh" sounds.

Qi Shi'an coughed lightly and said, "That's good. Anyway, I'm going back to the Qi clan soon."

"Return to the Qi clan? Didn't you already sever all ties?" Shi Hao frowned, slightly puzzled.

Qi Shi'an said calmly, "There are some things that need to be clarified."

That day in the Spirit Realm, the Fire Cloud Cave expert used a secret treasure to reveal the sins on his body, making him realize that the Qi Clan might not be so simple.

It should be noted that those whose blood of sin can be revealed are all descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, or members of one of the clans that followed the Seven Kings, and all reside in the Sin Province and the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.

Logically speaking, these groups judged as descendants of sinful bloodlines should have some inheritance, but why the Qi clan has fallen to become a subordinate group of others is worth exploring.

Qi Shi'an's return this time is not only to rebuild the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but also to trace the past of the Qi clan and to re-enter Starfall Mountain!

"By the way, after the yellow-feathered bird from the Immortal Palace descended to the mortal realm, it seems to have gone to Starfall Mountain. What secrets does it hold?"

Shi Hao was puzzled. He had never been to Starfall Mountain, but someone had entered and exited that forbidden place before him, so he asked.

"The gods of the Celestial Palace have gone to Starfall Mountain?!"

Qi Shi'an was taken aback, somewhat unexpectedly. Even the Immortal Palace attached such importance to Starfall Mountain; what secret did it hold? Could it be the drop of blood at the summit?

Qi Shi'an replied solemnly, "I can only say that I'm not quite sure either. We only reached the halfway point of the mountain and didn't explore much."

Shi Hao pondered for a moment: "I see."

Big Red, slightly drunk and burping, stammered, "Two...two...brothers, come and drink...drink..."

"Hiccup... Back in the day, I fought alongside the fierce kid and the baby kid on the battlefield... hiccup, slaughtering everyone in the Hundred Broken Mountains... the ground was covered in blood..."

The nine-headed lion, with a ruddy complexion, held several jars of wine and recounted the events of yesteryear, causing the female war goddess and Xia Youyu to cover their mouths and giggle.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone was completely drunk at that moment, and all sorts of past memories surfaced in their minds, some joyful and some bittersweet.

Before leaving, Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao verified each other's Dao, and exchanged the True Dragon Invincible Technique for the Kunpeng Technique, the Willow God Technique, and the incomplete Grass Character Sword Technique.

The Willow Divine Method is the Great Dao of Life, no weaker than the Ten Fiendish Methods. Its cultivation conditions are extremely demanding, requiring at least the Divine Fire Realm to enter the field.

Those who force themselves to cultivate before reaching this level will surely die!

At the same time, Qi Shi'an also borrowed the Myriad Spirits Diagram to study and finally perfected the Myriad Paths Heavenly Demon Diagram.

……

On a high mountain only three hundred miles away from the Qi tribe, Qi Shi'an rode A Jin back to his homeland.

He gazed into the distance at the place where he had once lived, and for a moment he felt a little dazed.

When he first came into this world, he faced countless battles of blood and bone alone. If it weren't for the Tree of Myriad Paths, he might have been buried in this world long ago.

Gradually, he also began to forget the traces of the world he had once lived in.

Time is merciless. If one is truly devoted to spiritual practice and seeking the Tao, many things will gradually fade away and be forgotten. By the time one wants to recapture those memories, everything from the past has already turned to dust.

Perhaps, he came into this cruel world with no choice but to keep moving forward.

"Boom!"

The earth shook as A Jin slowly walked over, his cultivation at the Inscription Realm clearly visible. Every step he took caused the mountains to shake violently.

Within the Qi clan, everyone sensed this powerful and intimidating aura and stood ready for battle. The elders stepped forward, prepared to activate the great formation at any moment to meet the enemy.

Chief Qi's voice was loud and clear as he said in a deep voice, "What kind of fellow Daoist are you, coming uninvited!"

"You've been away for so long, what, you're not welcoming me?" Qi Shi'an's tone was calm, yet it revealed a domineering air.

"It's you!"

When Qi Shi'an's figure appeared in the sky, everyone showed a surprised expression, finding it hard to believe that a boy who had been gone for eight years would actually descend at this moment!

"Welcome, of course you're welcome."

Chief Qi's smile seemed forced and stiff, revealing how fake it was.

Chief Qi chuckled dryly, "You... uh, Demon Lord, what brings you here?"

"Learn about the Qi clan's past! And incidentally... resolve the issues from back then."

Qi Shi'an spoke very directly, without concealing the purpose of his trip.

He only wanted to finish the battle quickly, then go to Starfall Mountain to investigate, ready to ascend to the Upper Realm at any time.

The lower realm is ultimately too small; only the upper realm can continue to seize resources and enhance strength.

Moreover, the Immortal Ancient Small World doesn't last much longer, so we must ascend to the upper realm as soon as possible to seize a spot to enter it.

Before leaving, he wanted to settle all worldly affairs to avoid clouding his Daoist heart.

"Hey, then come with me."

Chief Qi sighed. He had thought Qi Shi'an had returned to acknowledge his ancestors, but it turned out he was only there to learn about the Qi clan's past.

"No rush. Now that everyone's here, let's deal with what's in front of us first."

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with bloodlust, and his whole body exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially the high-ranking members of the Qi clan, whose faces turned extremely ugly, but the sweat on their foreheads betrayed their inner fear.

To resolve the matter from back then? The only connection between him and the Little Demon King is that his parents were sent to the Great Wilderness and died, and the truth about their deaths was suppressed.

No one knows how many people in the Qi clan will bleed today, but the high-ranking members will certainly be purged.

"Why are you so afraid of me? I wouldn't stoop to involving the innocent." Qi Shi'an shook his head and smiled coldly. "Of course, as long as the person who arranged for my parents to go to the Great Wilderness back then steps forward."

Chief Qi silently mourned, feeling a sense of powerlessness. The Little Demon King's rise was simply too fast, unbelievably so.

In just eight years, he has become invincible in the lower realms, and even the emperors of various ancient kingdoms would find it difficult to contend with him.

Among the high-ranking members of the Qi clan, their faces were as black as coal. Several people in the crowd closed their eyes tightly, and finally, as if they had made up their minds, they walked out slowly with firm gazes.

“This was our arrangement back then. Do as you please, whether you want to kill or torture me.”

Qi Shi'an looked over and found that they were actually nine elders of the Qi clan and more than a dozen senior members.

The nine elders looked directly at the boy riding the golden unicorn bear in the sky and faced their deaths with equanimity.

"That saves us trouble."

Qi Shi'an's gaze was cold and piercing. His parents' deaths were closely related to these high-ranking officials, and from the very beginning, he had no intention of letting them go.

If they were willing to leave, he might spare their descendants out of consideration for their lineage as descendants of meritorious officials.

A blood-red vertical eye appeared between his brows, dazzling and brilliant. Several blinding beams of blood light shot out, carrying an overwhelming death aura, piercing through the nine elders and more than a dozen senior members.

In an instant, the primordial spirits of everyone were annihilated, and their physical bodies turned into ashes and vanished into the world.

"Clan leader, as the head of the clan, you bear the responsibility for failing to investigate. Your cultivation will be restricted for a hundred years. After this matter is settled, you may go and be confined for five hundred years."

Qi Shi'an glanced sideways at the Qi clan chief, and with a wave of his hand, a black rune flew out and entered the Qi clan chief's body.

Chief Qi felt his cultivation rapidly draining away, being swallowed by the rune. His face aged several decades, and his hair turned much whiter.

Qi Shi'an didn't care at all whether the Qi clan chief's lifespan could last for another hundred years; if he could, it would be the Qi clan chief's good fortune.

"Let's go."

Qi Shi'an said calmly, "I have always been clear about my gratitude and grudges."

His parents' deaths were related to high-ranking members of the Qi clan, and this time he punished those high-ranking members.

In fact, he had another consideration: the Qi clan were descendants of meritorious officials, and he did not want them to be wiped out.

Even though he had no feelings for the Qi clan, he still possessed the blood of merit and glory.

Therefore, he decided that if he found the Qi clan's heritage, he would pass it all on to the Qi clan members, and then it would be up to them to make their own choices.

Will I live a life of mediocrity, or will I fight for the glory I once had?

As Qi Shi'an strode into the ancestral land of the Qi clan, even a casual glance from him could exert immense pressure on the crowd.

After all, given his current strength and past achievements, no one would be unafraid to see him. He has slaughtered so many gods, and they are still in those ruins for people to "enjoy".

Now, with swift and decisive action, they have wiped out most of the Qi clan's high-ranking members.

Only after Qi Shi'an disappeared from everyone's sight did they dare to breathe heavily.

"This is terrifying. I thought the Qi clan was going to be wiped out like those other forces today."

"That look in his eyes was like that of an ancient ferocious beast; it almost scared the crap out of me."

Chief Qi, dragging his old body, led Qi Shi'an to an area he had never entered before.

A magnificent yet dilapidated building stands in front of us, exuding an ancient and rustic aura, as if it has existed for countless years.
