Chapter 575: The Secret of the Temple

“Linlin,” Teng Qingshan looked at the familiar figure on the back of the Undying Phoenix, and showed a glimpse of joy.

Honglin remained on the back of the Undying Phoenix as she stared at her father, who hovered in mid-air beside the Demonic Dragon and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. She couldn’t hold back her tears. Throughout the trip, she had suppressed the guilt she felt towards her father and the emotional pain she had experienced deep within her heart. She was only able to reveal the grief and the sadness when she saw the person who was closely related to her.

Swoosh!

Teng Qingshan flew towards the Undying Phoenix. Little Blue grasped the black-clothed man in her claws. “This black-clothed man should be one of the people who took Linlin away.” At this moment, Teng Qingshan had no time for this kind of person, and he flew straight to the back of the Undying Phoenix.

“Father.”

Honglin threw herself into the Teng Qingshan’s arms, hugging him while crying waterfalls.

Teng Qingshan gave a smile of relief as he embraced his daughter. He could not stop thinking of the time when his young daughter was stung by wasps after playing with the disciples of the sect at the Great Yan Mountain and ran home hugging him while crying her eyes out. Even though his daughter was older now, she still showed her feelings and emotions like how she did in the past.

She had been wronged outside, so she came back to find her father.

Since…

Parents would always be the strongest support that children could rely on…

“Stop crying, it’s alright. Stop crying,” said Teng Qingshan while patting his daughter’s back.

“Mhmm.”

In the arms of her father, Honglin received an indescribable feeling of comfort. Then she let go of her father and looked at him, saying softly, “Father, I am sorry.”

“Haha, it’s alright.” No matter how upset Teng Qingshan had been before, all the anger was now gone.

“Let’s go!”

Holding his daughter’s hand, Teng Qingshan flew towards the demonic dragon Violet Rain and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

“Roar!” The demonic dragon gave a deep roar as it nodded its enormous head at Teng Qingshan.

“Roar roar!” Teng Qingshan also gave out a roar.

He only knew a few easy sentences of the Language of Beasts, and the few roars he had just said were meant to invite the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh

The three demonic beasts, the Undying Phoenix, demonic dragon Violet Rain, and Six Legged Bladelike Chi, together with Teng Qingshan, who was holding his daughter’s hand, flew right into the East Flower Garden of the Xing Yi Sect.

After the Xing Yi Sect was attacked by the storm that was brought by the flying demonic beast Black Crow, many mansions collapsed and a lot of the Xing Yi Sect’s disciples were injured.

“Look.”

“Such a long dragon. That right there is the Undying Phoenix!”

“The one at the side is the Sovereign.”

Many disciples of the Xing Yi Sect looked up with shining eyes. Whether it is the legendary demonic beast or the Undying Phoenix, or even the Sovereign Teng Qingshan, they were only myths to these Xing Yi Sect’s disciples. And to witness this scene, every one of them was unable to control their emotions.

“Gone.”

“Perhaps they flew into the East Flower Garden.”

The disciples’ hearts sank while staring at the East Flower Garden. That was where their Sovereign, Teng Qingshan, who was the Martial Ancestor who founded Internal Martial Arts, lived. In the Xing Yi Sect, only a few people were worthy to enter.

“Why are you all standing there and doing nothing? Quick, come and help carry the rocks,” shouted a disciple immediately.

“Here, here, two people come here and help. Martial Brother Wang is trapped under this. Quick!”

“Move the debris over here, it’s blocking the road.”

Sounds of shouting arose from the Xing Yi Sect as they tried to save the unfortunate ones who were trapped under the debris of the crashed mansions.

…

In the East Flower Garden of the Xing Yi Sect, there was a training ground inside the Martial Court. Because it had a training ground that took up a lot of space, it was the biggest court in the East Flower Garden.

Currently, an enormous demonic dragon occupied the training ground. The huge, golden eyes of the demonic dragon were like wheels, and its breath froze the air around its nostrils.

“Little Jun, let Linlin rest at the side,” said Teng Qingshan, “Also, help me ask Brother Violet Rain why he stopped me and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi when we tried to kill the flying demonic beast.”

“Mhmm, Hongwu, come and be with your sister.”

“Alright,” nodded Hongwu.

Little Jun also witnessed the scene in the sky when she was in the Xing Yi Sect and was also curious about why the demonic dragon had stopped Teng Qingshan. She turned around and looked towards the demonic dragon before releasing a deep roar towards it.

The demonic dragon Violet Rain looked at Teng Qingshan. There was a glimpse of kindness in those huge, golden eyes. It gave out a few roars which echoed in the court. However, the disciples could not even hear a sound for the air of the Martial Court had been frozen and sound could not pass out of the court.

“Hmm?” Little Jun seemed shocked.

“What did he say?” asked Teng Qingshan curiously.

“Qingshan, Brother Violet Rain said that he was helping you.” Little Jun showed a strange expression.

“Helping me?” Teng Qingshan glared. “He is doing the opposite! Helping me… this is ridiculous. Ask Violet Rain how stopping me was helping me.”

Li Jun was also suspicious, and she asked the demonic dragon Violet Rain immediately.

The demonic dragon nodded its enormous head and gave out a few roars.

“Oh.” Li Jun came to a sudden realization. Teng Qingshan became even more curious.

She looked towards Teng Qingshan and explained, “Qingshan, the demonic dragon Violet Rain said that the flying demonic beast’s name is Black Crow. Although its potential is not extraordinary, it is a flying demonic beast that has lived for a few thousand years. Its skills are not outstanding among the demonic beasts of the Emptiness Realm. However, if you had killed that demonic beast, you would have angered the Great Enemy. So you cannot kill that demonic beast.”

“Great Enemy?” Teng Qingshan suddenly understood what the demonic dragon Violet Rain meant.

Obviously—

This Black Crow’s background was not ordinary, and killing it would cause great trouble.

“What Great Enemy? Little Jun, help me ask this: what is the background of the flying demonic beast Black Crow?” said Teng Qingshan, frowning, “I suspect that the power behind him is the one that had plotted against Xing Yi Sect.”

“Mhmm.”

Li Jun had a serious look and asked the demonic dragon Violet Rain again.

This time, the demonic dragon Violet Rain spoke to Li Jun for quite a while, telling her a lot of information. Teng Qingshan watched as Li Jun’s reaction turned from shocked to nodding her head, then to an unbelievable expression, and she finally understood. The whole time, Teng Qingshan was curious and had a bunch of questions to ask.

Finally, the demonic dragon Violet Rain stopped speaking.

“Little Jun, tell me, what’s going on?” asked Teng Qingshan. Yang Dong, Hongwu, and Honglin also stared at Li Jun from the side.

Li Jun let out a sigh. “Qingshan, I finally understand now.”

“Understand what? What’s the power behind the flying demonic beast named Black Crow?”

“Qingshan, this flying demonic beast is actually the Godly Beast of the Barbarian Tribe Temple, also known as the Giant Tribe Temple,” answered Li Jun.

Teng Qingshan blinked.

Honglin, Hongwu, and Yang Dong at the side all had blank faces.

Temple? Barbarian Tribe Temple, also known as Giant Tribe Temple?

“What kind of temple is that? Why have I never heard of it?” asked Teng Qingshan, frowning.

Li Jun laughed and said, “It’s normal to not know it. The Desolate Land in the north of our Yangzhou is very wide, and a few thousand miles further inside lives a tribe. The people of this tribe are very tall; ordinary people of the tribe are mostly 2.5 meters tall. The outstanding ones have even more impressive heights, so they are called the Giant Tribe or Barbarian Tribe.”

“What?” Teng Qingshan was in disbelief.

“Barbarian Tribe? Giant Tribe?” Honglin, Hongwu, and Yang Dong were all in shock.

Everyone knew that it was extremely dangerous in the Desolate Land; the further inside, the more dangerous it was. Even a First Rated Warrior could not survive for a long time 3,000 or 4,000 miles deep into the wilderness. Venomous bugs and beasts could be seen everywhere there. The further inside, the more dangerous it was, but a few ten thousand miles further inside, a tribe could survive there?

“According to what the demonic dragon Violet Rain said,” sighed Li Jun, “it was during Tribal Age, before Emperor Yu ruled the world and divided it into the nine prefectures. It was even before Emperor Yu was born. In the whole earth, floods broke out everywhere. A lot of tribes were forced to migrate constantly. A few tribes with ten thousand people, or even more, grouped together and entered the Desolate Land.

“Forests flourished in the Desolate Land, and there are no floods there.”

Teng Qingshan was dumbfounded after hearing it.

It was heard long ago that the floods caused great damage during the age of tribes, and after ruling the world, Great Yu, who solved the flood issue, was then worshipped by the whole Land of Nine Prefectures, and even for generations, during the religious rites, people had to say “Emperor Yu, the greatest before saying the things to hope for.

That just showed the gratefulness that people had for Emperor Yu.

This also showed how terrifying the floods were! They had forced the tribes into the Desolate Land.

“During that time, many tribes entered the Desolate Land one by one.

“Although the Desolate Land is dangerous, there were also many strong warriors during the age of the tribes. Furthermore, there were many people who entered the Desolate Land during that time. With the strength in numbers, they kept on going further in. Fighting venomous bugs and beasts led to many tribal people dying on the way. However, these tribes still went on. They had to find a place that was suitable for living, since there were too many venomous bugs and beasts in the Desolate Land.

“Death, struggle, move forward!

“With the whole tribe together, there were women and children, so the moving speed was slow and a lot of people died on the way.

“Finally, deep inside the Desolate Land, they found a place where there were fewer dangerous creatures.

“When they arrived, only the survivors of the tribal people, the ones who had faced various disasters, the last experts, were left. These experts had fought with many wild beasts, even demonic beasts, and had survived through venomous bites of bugs. These people then lived in the area deep inside the Desolate Land, maintaining the tribal lifestyle.

“Due to the long time spent in the Desolate Land and some special reasons, this Barbarian Tribe or Giant Tribe are very different from us, who have lived on the rich soil of the Land of Nine Prefectures.

“And the temple that I mentioned earlier rules the Barbarian Tribe!” Li Jun’s voice echoed in the court while Teng Qingshan and the others listened quietly.
