Chapter 373 Mutual Fear
"Is this where the Qiongyu tribe lives? They really know how to enjoy life!"
The young man looked up at the sky with amazement in his tone, and saw floating islands that looked like upside-down mountains hanging in the clouds. They were towering and majestic, blocking out the sky and the sun, casting large shadows on the vast ocean below.
This is a scene with great visual impact. After all, it is an island suspended above the clouds, not an island in the ocean. Of course, the shock given by these natural creations is far less than that of a towering pure BC city standing among these floating islands.
There was a wind so thin that it was almost non-existent surrounding it, but Feng Qingan, who possessed the divine body of conquering the sky, could feel how much terrifying power was contained in that seemingly clear breeze.
"Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"
Beside the young man, the Mermaid King, who had transformed into a shape almost the same size as humans, lowered his eyebrows and asked softly with a hint of charm in his voice.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied!"
Feng Qing'an stared at the floating islands, which numbered about a hundred, and the city in the clouds guarded by many floating islands and cloud mountains, with surprise in his eyes and repeated admiration.
"I am willing to help Your Majesty seize this place."
Pondering Feng Qing'an's tone at the moment and looking at the expression on his face, the Mermaid King spoke boldly.
"You have great ambitions."
Hearing what the Mermaid King said, Feng Qing'an turned his head to look at her and couldn't help but laugh.
"These floating islands are within the scope of your plan and conquest, right? If I hadn't shown up, you would have conquered this place in less than a hundred years."
"I dare not deceive you, Your Majesty, but I have such an idea. Now that I am under your command, all my plans have gone to waste. I can only rely on you."
"Now that you know, don't think too much. It's not your turn to worry about what I want to do."
Feng Qing'an glanced coldly at the Mermaid King. He could vaguely sense some of his thoughts. Although he couldn't feel it clearly, he could guess a thing or two through the changes in his emotions.
It can only be said that he has not given up his evil intentions. Even though he has fallen into such a situation, he still has some delusions that he shouldn't have. Even because of the changes in his circumstances and the speculation about his identity, he has some more thoughts that he never had before.
"yes."
The Mermaid King lowered her head and eyes, not daring to show the slightest sign of abnormality. The more she knew, the more awed she became. She no longer had the pride and indomitable spirit she had when they first met, because it was all meaningless and would only make her look ridiculous.
"Who?"
"What do you want to do?"
Just when Feng Qing'an was scolding the Mermaid King, white lights rose from the many islands floating in the clouds before him.
The aura they exude indicates that these people who have appeared are the extraordinary people of the Qiongyu Clan, or at least king-level creatures who have survived one heavenly tribulation. Some of them have even survived two heavenly tribulations and are as powerful as the human race's Dongxuan Immortals.
However, at this moment, even though these extremely powerful individuals of the Qiongyu Clan had their auras connected together and transformed into a vast ocean of white light, they were unable to break through the natural blockade of energy formed by the Kun group controlled by Feng Qing'an.
This immediately made these aliens, who had wings on their backs and whose appearance was almost identical to that of humans, feel extremely frightened. After all, the scene before them looked like the comers had ill intentions.
"I heard that the Qiongyu tribe lived here, so I was curious and came to visit them. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."
Feng Qing'an raised his hands, folded them together, bowed and greeted, expressing his goodwill. He was very polite and decent. If he were in any other place, his action would most likely get an equal response.
But as he was now, standing on the head of an ancient Kun whose size stretched for hundreds of miles, such a scene really made the extremely frightened people of the Qiongyu Clan not know how to respond.
"I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."
Just when these feathered aliens didn't know how to respond, they saw a brilliant divine light falling from the city in the clouds guarded by many floating islands, and transformed into a tall and burly feathered man with an extremely old face and wrinkles as ravines as tall winged man.
The moment this winged man appeared, the many winged people who were startled by the arrival of the Kun group seemed to have found their backbone and they all attached themselves to and surrounded him from behind.
The energy they emitted seemed to have found support and connected together, confronting the majestic and vast aura emitted by the Kun group.
"The Feathered King!"
Looking at the winged man who looked so old that he seemed to be about to die at any moment, Feng Qing'an seemed to see a vast and empty pure white sky.
That majestic and lofty aura made him stand out instantly even among a group of extraordinary people.
Even though there were nearly ten winged people around him who had survived two levels of heavenly tribulation and were comparable to the immortals of the Dongxuan realm, the combined aura of these winged people could not compare to his.
There is no need for anyone to remind or prove that with such powerful strength, the old and dying feathered man in front of him is the king of the Qiongyu tribe. The strong is the king.
"It is me, sir. Do you recognize me?"
Even though the clan's territory had been surrounded by dozens of giant Kuns that had swam in from the vast ocean, the old feathered man showed no sadness or joy on his face, and his tone was neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant, as if what he was seeing was just a very ordinary thing.
Perhaps this is the case. After all, this old winged man has also lived through a very long time. Unlike Da Kun, he may have seen a wider world and scenes that ordinary practitioners cannot see even if they spend their entire lives. Therefore, he is so calm and composed at this moment.
"I don't know you. This is the first time I've seen you. I'm just amazed at your realm. You have the highest cultivation achievement in the Dongxuan realm that I've seen so far."
[Race: Sky Feather]
[Attributes: Wind, God, Spirit]
[Potential Level: Emperor·Superior]
[Combat Power Level: Emperor·Superior]
"Thank you for your compliment."
A divine light emerged in the old Feathered Man's turbid eyes. He looked at the young man whose aura was so weak that he seemed to be able to turn him into ashes with just a slight touch of his hand.
At this moment, a sense of fear arose in his heart, because he could not see through the young man who was riding the group of Kuns, nor could he see his origins, let alone his whereabouts. However, the other party was praising his cultivation in the first level of Dongxuan, so the difference in strength was obvious.
"But I'm just telling the truth. Your cultivation level is worthy of this evaluation, but you are too old. It's a pity that your blood and energy have declined to this state."
Feng Qing'an shook his head repeatedly, and his words revealed regret.
The decline of blood and energy is a nightmare for a warrior. Once the blood and energy go downhill, it means that a warrior will stop moving forward and it will be difficult for him to break through to the next level.
But apart from warriors who are afraid of the decline of their blood and energy, practitioners from other systems will also be afraid. You know, even immortals will have the five calamities of decline. Only if you can survive them can you be considered to have true longevity. If you can't, you will have to reincarnate and start all over again, and that's still considered lucky.
This is the case with the Feathered King in front of us. He may be really powerful, but his life span has reached its limit.
Now he can only look for life-extending items or use secret methods to prolong his life. As for climbing to a higher level, sorry, his body is not strong enough to support him to do so.
Because the decline of blood also means that his spirit is also exhausted. This is not just a single decline, but an all-round decline in physical condition. This is enough to prove how powerful the Feathered King was when he was at his peak.
Unfortunately, even such a gifted person could not escape the invisible knife of time. He could not live forever, and would eventually become nothing more than a handful of dirt.
"There is nothing to regret. I have experienced everything I should have experienced. I don't have any other extra expectations in this life. I am satisfied to watch my descendants multiply and thrive in the world."
Hearing Feng Qing'an's sigh, the old feathered man's expression didn't change at all. He just seemed to be responding casually, but Feng Qing'an could hear the implied meaning.
The only thing that this old and dying Feathered King cares about is the continuation of his race. No matter who dares to threaten this, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life, even if it means both of them will perish, and he will drag the other party down with him.
Feng Qing'an naturally took the warning from the old winged man, whose level was so high that even he could hardly understand it, very seriously. However, he had no intention of treating the winged king in front of him as roughly as he treated the mermaid king.
Coercion won’t work, but bribery can.
Feng Qing'an didn't think that anyone, after tasting the sweetness from him, would have the courage and perseverance to say no to him.
The old winged man in front of us is the best negative example. No matter how talented you are, if your blood becomes shackles, you will still suffer a life of hardship, and in the end, you can only sit down and die in this old and frail posture, and disappear from the world.
"Haha, the old man is quite open-minded."
"After all, at my age, there is not much that I would miss in this world. It's just that I tend to be a little nagging when I get older. I would like to ask you one more question: what is your purpose in coming here?"
The divine light that emerged from the old feathered man's turbid pupils became sharper, like two peerless divine swords about to be unsheathed. If there was anything wrong, they would be unsheathed and stain the sky with blood.
"I have only seen descriptions of the Qiongyu tribe in books, but have never seen them in person. Now that I have heard about them, I came here to see them. I hope you will give me some advice, old senior."
At this moment, Feng Qing'an was gentle and refined, like a direct descendant of a family of practitioners with an eternal heritage.
"Just looking?"
After hearing Feng Qing'an's ridiculous reason, not only the old winged people who had experienced thousands of years, but even the young winged people around him showed doubt and disbelief on their faces.
After all, Feng Qingan's behavior clearly showed that he had bad intentions.
"Yes!"
Feng Qing'an once again stated that he loves peace, does not like fighting, and is just here to take a look.
"Since you are curious about my Qiongyu tribe, would you be willing to follow me inside to take a look?"
Although Lao Yu Ren also felt that what Feng Qing'an said was simply nonsense, he did not point it out. He just followed his words and directly invited him in.
"Of course I am willing, but your clan's land seems to be too small, and these big Kuns who followed me can't seem to enter."
Feng Qingan looked embarrassed.
"I'm afraid you will have to use some effort. You probably can't get in with all these Kun beasts you raise."
The old feathered man replied in a kind and gentle voice.
"I see. That's fine."
Feng Qing'an agreed without much hesitation, which immediately made many feathered people look surprised.
Because in their opinion, this young human being clearly relied on the Kun group to dare to be so domineering and arrogant.
"Then I will follow the old senior to take a look inside, but I can't bring these big Kuns in. Can I bring some followers with me?"
Feng Qingan asked with a smile.
"If it's like this guy, then of course it's possible."
The old winged man's gaze fell on the Mermaid King who was standing beside Feng Qing'an, although the Mermaid King had already taken off many of the gorgeous clothes that came with being a king.
But now, the extremely simple clothes in her eyes also made her look extremely pretty and eye-catching, just like the most colorful fairy flower among thousands of flowers.
“…”
Under the gaze of the Feathered King, the Mermaid King, who looked much younger and full of vitality, hurriedly lowered his head. They naturally knew each other, but it was not a relationship of equal status, but that of a senior and a junior.
Because the so-called best friend is the most talented blood relative of the Feathered King.
"That's fine."
Just as he finished speaking, a yawning black cat came out from his collar and squatted on his shoulder in a lazy posture.
The old winged man's gaze immediately shifted away from the Mermaid King and fell on the cat that Feng Qing'an was holding by the neck, holding in his arms, and constantly teasing. After staring for a moment, an incredible look appeared in his eyes.
"You are so courageous that you dare to keep such an ominous creature in captivity!"
"The old man has a good eye. He actually figured out the whereabouts of this little cat of mine!"
Feng Qing'an glanced at the old feathered man with some surprise. What the demon was best at was not disturbing people's hearts, causing their spiritual faith to collapse and their future to be ruined, but hiding.
If a demon wants to hide, it will be difficult to catch it even by cultivators who are several realms higher than it. It is easiest to find its trace only when it is causing trouble.
But the old winged man in front of him did see it , so Feng Qing'an's attitude towards the old winged man changed again and he paid more attention to him.
However, looking at Feng Qing'an who was playing with the Sky Demon as a pet, one can naturally imagine what the old Feathered Man thought of him. He would never dare to underestimate him and treated him as a formidable enemy.
"Are you not afraid of such a vicious backlash? By then, it will be too late for you to regret."
"Backlash? You are worrying too much. This little cat will never backlash against me in this lifetime. Even if he has the guts, he doesn't have the strength to do so."
