Chapter 503 Green Fox City
"I never expected this!"
"Boss Zhou actually went to the same place as us."
"I just don't know why Boss Zhou is going to Qingqiu Mountain?"
As night fell, Lin Que and his group sat chatting with Zhou Qi in an inn in a demon city. However, out of curiosity about the day's events, Lin Que casually asked a question as soon as he sat down.
When Lin Que learned that Zhou Qi was also going to Qingqiu Mountain, he was truly surprised!
"Go and seek some help..." Zhou Qi didn't hide anything and said it directly.
After all, based on their previous conversations along the way, it was clear that their family's current situation was indeed somewhat dangerous, which was why Zhou Qi had no choice but to make a trip to Qingqiu Mountain.
When they parted ways in Tianyao City, Lin Que and the others saw Zhou Qi leave the next day, as he was returning to his family to handle some matters.
Because he possessed information about the Qilin clan, those Chongming cultivators had been relentlessly pursuing their family and had issued an ultimatum: if they did not reveal this information, their family would face annihilation.
But Zhou Qi obviously couldn't say that, so he decided to go to Qingqiu Mountain alone before the situation became too serious and see if he could get some help.
After all, among the five royal families of the Illusionary Demon Continent, only the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan remains intact and is doing the best, maintaining good relations with both sides.
In addition, Zhou Qi's family had a good relationship with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, which is why he immediately thought of seeking help from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
However, he encountered a slight accident on the way and was blocked by those cultivators who worshipped the underworld, almost losing his life!
It was just lucky that Lin Que and his group happened to be passing by and saw them.
As for why Zhou Qi's current situation was known to the cultivators of Chongming, it's easy to guess. Presumably, some members of their clan didn't want to be wiped out, so they secretly told the cultivators of Chongming this news.
Just now, Lin Que also learned that Zhou Qi's family was the Bai Ze clan of the Illusionary Demon Continent.
Of course, it only has a little bit of the bloodline of the ancient Bai Ze.
After a moment of silence, Lin Que slowly spoke, "Now, please let Mr. Zhou tell us about it."
"Regarding the Qilin clan..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi picked up the teacup on the tea table, gazed at the pale blue tea in the cup for a moment, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Que and said, "Before that, may I ask Young Master Lin a question?"
Lin nodded.
After receiving Lin Que's consent, Zhou Qi paused for a moment: "I would like to know what Young Master Lin meant by helping the Qilin clan earlier."
"To be precise, it's not just about helping the Qilin clan," Lin Que shook his head slightly and said, "but about helping the entire Illusionary Demon Continent!"
"Of course."
"After we succeed, I'll need the Illusionary Demon Continent to help us in return!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Qi's expression immediately turned serious!
Then, as Zhou Qi's expression gradually shifted from serious to shocked, Lin Que slowly recounted some events to him...
After the story was finished, Zhou Qi was completely stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, which shows how shocking it was for him!
"Hoo~!"
After a long while, Zhou Qi finally let out a breath, calming his emotions.
"So... Young Master Lin possesses such grand ideas and boldness." Zhou Qi exclaimed in amazement, "I admire you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not as noble as you make it out to be, Boss Zhou. To put it bluntly, it's just for myself and the people I care about."
These words caused Huan Qingcheng and Liu Qingyi, who were sitting next to him, to have a simultaneous thought!
I have some inexplicable feelings.
The people he cares about...
However, Liu Qingyi suddenly felt that something was off about her.
“Whether it is true or not, at least Young Master Lin took action, which I admire!” Zhou Qi said, “In that case, I will no longer hide it.”
"Young Master Lin, do you remember that I said 'Qiao'er is not my biological daughter'?"
Zhou Qiao'er...
These words immediately made Lin Que and the others' expressions turn serious!
"Could it be that Zhou Qiao'er is...?"
“That’s right!” Zhou Qi nodded and said, “Qiao’er is indeed Yu Gu of the Qilin clan!”
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qi told Lin Que and the other three some things that he hadn't mentioned at the time, which surprised them all!
It turns out that the close friend Zhou Qi had mentioned before his death, who had entrusted Zhou Qiao'er to his care, was the former patriarch of the Qilin clan. Unfortunately, after entrusting Zhou Qiao'er to Zhou Qi, he disappeared without a trace!
As for why he said the reason was because he died in battle, it was actually because he was worried about Lin Que and the others, so he said that.
Although Zhou Qi recounted that the Qilin clan did indeed engage in a great battle with the Chongming Divine Sect and that they all disappeared after the battle, Zhou Qi believed that with the strength of his close friend, he wouldn't die so easily!
To the disappointment of Lin Que and the others, even now Zhou Qi still doesn't know the whereabouts of the Qilin clan's disappearance.
Moreover, the Qilin clan is somewhat different from the other four royal clans in that they only have one lineage and their members are extremely few. This makes them the only Illusion Demon royal clan that has never had a traitor.
Otherwise, how could there be no news at all? At the very least, one should have received information about traitors who had defected to the Chongming Divine Cult.
"I didn't expect that I still wouldn't be able to find out anything about the Qilin clan." There was a hint of regret in Lin Que's words.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Lin." Zhou Qi said with a hint of helplessness, "I was unable to help you. If I have any news about my close friend in the future, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
"Then thank you very much, Boss Zhou!" Lin Que said with some relief, "But let's leave these things to fate. The Qilin clan was able to disappear without a trace."
"That means this is good news!"
"This means they are at least safe now, otherwise those cultivators from Chongming wouldn't be so eager to find out Zhou Qiao'er's whereabouts from you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi slowly let out a sigh of relief...
"I hope it's really as you say, Young Master Lin..."
......
With their journey accelerated, Lin Que and his group arrived at a city called "Azure Fox City" in less than half a month.
This city is the largest main city controlled by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!
It is also the city closest to Qingqiu Mountain.
As for why they chose to stay here instead of heading directly to Qingqiu Mountain, it's because without someone to guide them, they couldn't enter Qingqiu Mountain. That's why Lin Que and his group came here first to wait for Tu Shan Yueyi's arrival.
However, the moment they entered the city, Liu Qingyi and Huan Qingcheng both frowned!
"It smells so strong, like fox pheromones!"
