Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1261 - 88: Ambush in the Shadows

Since the Pengyu Three Demons had previously discussed the situation within the Ancient Sealing with their two friends, the people of the Bimong and Pengyu clans knew a bit about the Ancient Sealing.

By contrast, Hu Linglong and others knew the least.

This Ancient Sealing in the Bahuang Mountain Range was composed of a semi-enclosed valley.

At a glance, the entrance to the valley appeared barren, and the soil inside the valley was slightly red, looking as if it had been stained with fresh blood.

The valley had only one entrance.

The entrance was veiled in thick fog all year round, making it difficult to see what was inside the valley.

"Let’s go in." Rita of the Bimong Clan led her warriors into the valley.

"Let’s not let the Bimong clan seize the lead. Let’s follow," said Silver Roc, unwilling to lag behind, as he led the Pengyu warriors swiftly into the thick fog.

"Let’s go." Hu Linglong and several Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses also followed closely.

Yu Shang stood at the mouth of the valley for a moment, as if reminiscing something, and eventually, she too entered the valley.

"Boss Peng Yu, you’re most familiar with the terrain, lead the way," Yun Sheng and his two companions were the last to enter the valley.

Shortly after everyone entered the Ancient Sealing, a shadow flitted by and slipped to the other end of the Bahuang Mountain Range.

"Vice Clan Leader, people from the Bimong, Sky Fox, and Pengyu Tribes are all inside. I saw with my own eyes, Rita of the Bimong, Silver Roc of the Pengyu, and Hu Linglong of the Sky Fox Tribe have all entered the Ancient Sealing," a warrior of the Hei Qilin Tribe respectfully knelt before the man.

The man had a prominent nose and indifferent eyes, and the dark aura emanating from his tall figure was intimidating.

The former Emperor of Post Qin, Dugu Xiu, now the Vice Clan Leader of the Hei Qilin Tribe, had indeed appeared in the Bahuang Mountain Range.

However, unlike the Bimong and Pengyu tribes, their encampment was far from the Ancient Sealing.

At the encampment, almost a thousand Hei Qilin warriors, clad in iron armor and wielding sharp bayonets, were meticulously disciplined.

In the Hei Qilin Tribe’s encampment, there were pillars laid out haphazardly.

If Boss Peng Yu or Yu Shang were present, they would surely recognize these pillars as the Eight Desolate Inheritance Pillars that countless Beast Clans across the Bahuang Continent yearned for.

Most of these inheritance pillars were intact, as if forcibly taken from somewhere.

On the Inheritance Bamboo, not only were there Hei Qilin Tribe totems, but also inheritance pillars from many other Beast Clans.

"Bimong, Sky Fox, Pengyu... too bad, they’re all just middle-level and lower beast clans. No one from the Jiuluan Tribe or Di Clan came," Dugu Xiu gazed at the valley of the Ancient Sealing.

The valley was indeed peculiar; if he hadn’t been fully prepared this time, he would probably lose many people inside as well.

Bimong, Pengyu, and the weakest Sky Fox Tribe dared to rush in recklessly. What awaited them were not inheritance pillars, but fearsome traps and the War Evils of the ancient battlefield.

Dugu Xiu’s flaming red hair hung down, and his eyes were as deep as a stagnant well.

"The Vice Clan Leader’s strategies are extraordinary. Fortunately, we entered the Ancient Sealing first and collected many inheritance pillars." Neither Bimong, Pengyu, nor even Boss Peng Yu expected that the first to receive the news and arrive at the Ancient Sealing weren’t any tribe, but the Hei Qilin Tribe.

When the Pengyu Three Demons leaked the news of the Ancient Sealing, people of the Hei Qilin Tribe, mixed with those from the Bimong and Pengyu tribes, had already set their sights on this mountain range.

Hei Yao immediately appointed Dugu Xiu to proceed to the Ancient Sealing.

Dugu Xiu did not disappoint. In the Ancient Sealing, he acquired many inheritance pillars.

The inheritance pillars of the Hei Qilin Tribe had been collected completely. Other tribes’ inheritance pillars, if convenient, were taken by Dugu Xiu, and he had already carried them away.

Those that couldn’t be taken were mostly ones that were rather tricky or had lost their efficacy.

"It’s a pity that the Seal Eye’s sealing couldn’t be broken." Dugu Xiu’s only regret was not ultimately finding the Seal Eye after entering the Ancient Sealing.

A strong barrier had been set near the Seal Eye, and even though Dugu Xiu gave it his all, he couldn’t break in successfully.

"If even the Vice Clan Leader couldn’t enter, those Descendants of the Eight Desolates certainly can’t either." The Hei Qilin Tribe warriors were very obedient to Dugu Xiu.

Who would have predicted that when Dugu Xiu first arrived at the Hei Qilin Tribe, there was widespread discontent with him.

It wasn’t until he defeated the first warrior of the Hei Qilin Tribe in a public contest, and then demonstrated talents in handling tribal affairs not inferior to the Hei Yao Clan Leader, that the internal discontent was suppressed.

This time, if the Ancient Sealing truly succeeds in killing the descendants of the three major Beast Clans, the Vice Clan Leader’s prestige in the Hei Qilin Tribe will undoubtedly soar.

"Do not be careless. During this period, all of you guard by the Ancient Sealing. If you discover any survivors, kill them on sight," Dugu Xiu ordered coldly.

He glanced again at the collected inheritance pillars and ordered his Hei Qilin warriors to first transport some back to the Hei Qilin Tribe.

Dugu Xiu had given up everything in the Wuji Continent to come to the Bahuang Continent. How could he be satisfied with merely being a Vice Clan Leader?

Over the years, he had lain low in the Hei Qilin Tribe, enduring the disdain of everyone, diligently cultivating.

For someone who once held the esteemed position of Emperor of Post Qin, above all others, it was undoubtedly a form of torture.

Fortunately, those days did not last long.

Whether on the Bahuang Continent or the Wuji Continent, one thing remains constant: the strong are everything.

His goal was far from just defeating the first warrior of the Hei Qilin Tribe; Hei Linlin, that arrogant woman, will ultimately be defeated by him.

In this upcoming Eight Desolate Clan Competition, Dugu Xiu will use his power to emerge as the champion.

By securing first place, he will qualify to enter the Beast God Altar and undergo its ultimate baptism. He could then meet the legendary First Priest of the Beast God Altar.

Only the First Priest can help him lift the Ancient Qilin King’s curse.

Sky Fox Clan... upon hearing that familiar name, Dugu Xiu’s long-dormant heart began to beat strongly once again.

Yun Sheng... that woman, his woman, he wonders how she is now.

When he stands atop the Bahuang Continent, it will be time for him to return to the Wuji Continent, to reclaim the woman he both hated and loved.
