Chapter 161: Fox Cubs
The Tibetan Mastiffs were called the "Divine Hounds of the East."
They were so aggressive that they said that the mastiffs could fight against bears and lions.
While they could not always win against the bears and the lions, it was also proof of the mastiffs' aggression.
He used his phone to quickly check and discovered that Zheng Tao's Tibetan Mastiff was from a breed called the "Western Number One," and the market price for one was around four million to eight million.
It was completely worth it if he could buy one for three million.
Not only could he use it to protect his home, but he could also bring it out to show off. Not to mention if the Monster Transmutation System could really be used in the real world, it would definitely become a monster if he could improve it using Monster Transmutation. Who would dare to threaten him then?
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to transfer the money to Zheng Tao, Jiang Feng heard an objection.
He looked at Sis Hua as he frowned.
Sis Hua stood up and walked over to the Tibetan Mastiff on her high heels, and then said to Jiang Feng, "This Tibetan Mastiff is already mine, boy. It's not that proper if you were to snatch it from me like that, don't you think?"
Jiang Feng then smiled and said, "If I didn't get it wrong, you only said that you would take a look just now and didn't say that you want it at all. Therefore, it's not owned by anyone yet. Since I was the one that had settled on a price with Zheng Tao first, you're the one that's snatching it from me."
Sis Hua then closed her eyes with a smile, then turned to Zheng Tao and said, "Zheng Tao. I'll give you four million for the Tibetan Mastiff. Any problems?"
Zheng Tao then looked at Jiang Feng, and back at Sis Hua again. "No... no problem!"
Jiang Feng frowned, then extended his hand. "Sis Hua, if you can take it away, then it's yours!"
With that, Jiang Feng took a step back.
"If I can subdue a "Ghostface" Mastiff King, I can subdue a Western Number One," Sis Hua gave him a smile and took the leash from Zheng Tao's hand, and pulled it out.
Unfortunately, she had just walked a few steps before the Tibetan Mastiff pulled the leash back and her body was pulled back along with it.
Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng quickly took a step forward and caught Sis Hua by her waist and said, "Sis Hua, you won't be able to bring this Tibetan Mastiff back home. Why don't you let me have it?"
Sis Hua looked at Jiang Feng with interest as she lay in his arms, then she smiled as she narrowed her eyes and straightened up. She then turned to Zheng Tao and said, "Zheng Tao, bring the dog back to my place. I don't believe that I can't subdue an animal."
"Alright!"
With that, Zheng Tao was going to pull the dog with him, but not only did the Tibetan Mastiff did not leave with him, but it also knocked him down and then walked next to Jiang Feng while wagging its tail.
"Um..."
When they saw this, Sis Hua, Song Xi, and Zheng Tao could only look on with astonishment.
They never expected the Tibetan Mastiff to oppose its master's command, and even attack its original master.
"Sis Hua, sorry, but it looks like the Tibetan Mastiff has already chosen its master." Jiang Feng gave her an apologetic grin.
"Well done, boy. You're quite good," Sis Hua scanned Jiang Feng and gave him another smile and said, "The reason I wanted to buy this dog is to find a mate for my own Tibetan Mastiff at home. Since it has chosen you, I won't force it. If you're free, look for me at Qingyang City's Animal Arena. Goodbye."
With that, Sis Hua left with a smile.
The Animal Arena! It was a place accessible only to those with high status.
His guess was that Sis Hua was someone with high social standing.
Next, he then used three million to buy the Tibetan Mastiff from Zheng Tao and left together with it.
He then took a taxi and headed toward the hospital to visit Su Qing.
Once he was at the hospital, he visited Su Qing. Other than her wound being infected, she was fine. All she needed was to stay and get drips for a few days, and she could then be discharged.
Originally, he wanted to bring his father home. However, his father said that he wanted to accompany Su Qing for a while and go and buy a few things, so he had to leave on his own first.
After taking a taxi, he went straight home.
When he was home, he did not go straight to his house. Instead, he brought "Xiaohei" to the hill behind his home.
Xiaohei was the Tibetan Mastiff that he just bought.
While the Tibetan Mastiff did not like the name, he went along with it when Jiang Feng asked him to.
As he climbed up the hill, he removed the iron muzzle from Xiaohei's mouth. He then asked, "Xiaohei, can you beat a lion?"
Xiaohei barked, "Bow-wow! No! But Ghostface, Greenwolf, they can, yes!"
The Tibetan Mastiff was one of the types of hounds with lower intelligence. However, due to Jiang Feng's Tongue of the Beast ability, even low intelligent animals could communicate to him what they meant and he could somewhat understand it.
Both "Ghostface" and "Greenwolf" were breeds of the Tibetan Mastiff, and were referred to as the "Ghostface Mastiff King" and the "Greenwolf Mastiff."
These two Tibetan Mastiffs were two of the most aggressive hounds in the Tibetan Mastiff family. Pure breeds were very rare. Rumor had it that a foreigner once offered forty million to buy a Ghostface Mastiff King, but the offer was rejected.
Even if the Ghostface Mastiff Kings were few in number, those that were bred with it would produce cubs that were much more daring and aggressive.
However, what he did not expect was that there were actually Tibetan Mastiffs that could actually beat lions. Their raw destructive strength was indeed terrifying.
"Then, can you beat a giant rat?" Jiang Feng asked.
Xiaohei lifted his eyebrow and looked at Jiang Feng as if it was saying, 'Are you an idiot? If I can't beat a rat, I should just die."
When he saw the way Xiaohei looked at him, Jiang Feng was a bit speechless. He stopped talking with him and headed toward where the fox cubs were at.
The fox cubs were behind some rocks in the hill. And according to mommy fox, there were three cubs in total.
Ratatat...
Very quickly, he found some rock formations covered by grass and branches. What surprised him the most was that the giant black rat had actually found this place and was clawing its way through the rocks. It seemed like Su Qing did not deal much damage on it with her shovel.
The fox was very smart. When it left, it used a rock to block the entrance, stopping enemies from finding and harming its cubs.
That was why the giant black rat still had to spend some effort in trying to dig into the fox's hole.
"Xiaohei, attack!"
When he saw the giant black rat, he gave Xiaohei, who was standing next to it, an order.
"Bow-wow..."
Xiaohei pounced at the giant black rat.
The moment the giant black rat saw Jiang Feng, it was about to attack him. But when it saw Xiaohei, it immediately ran away.
Xiaohei was not someone that would let it off that easily and chased after it like the wind.
Very quickly, both the rat and the Tibetan Mastiff were out of sight.
Jiang Feng did not pay him much attention. He then came to where the rocks were, and moved a rock that was blocking the mouth of the hole.
"Hm?"
He easily moved the rock with his hand, and that surprised him.
He looked at the rock in his hand, then threw it without using much force. A rock that was weighed around four kilograms was thrown across a distance of around thirty meters.
"Damn, when did I become this strong?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself with confusion.
He shook his head and cleared his mind when he could find the answer to it and started to move the rocks one by one.
In a short while, he saw three small fox cubs with white fur looking at him in fear.
It was obvious that the three fox cubs had just been born recently. No wonder mommy fox was malnourished.
He grabbed the fox cubs and walked down the hill.
As for Xiaohei, he would return after he had caught the giant black rat.

Chapter 162: Enhancing Pill
Once he was home, Jiang Feng got to the second floor and cleaned a room where light could shine into it.
He then got some blanket and placed the three fox cubs on it.
He fed the three fox cubs with a few bottles of milk, and only then he left the room.
Bang!
When he reached the first floor, he was just in time to see Xiaohei ram open the door, and throw that giant black rat's body on the ground.
"That's fast," Jiang Feng said as he walked over and checked on the rat.
There was a wound made by sharp fangs on the rat's neck, and it was clear that it was snapped in half by a powerful bite. He did not need to think twice to know that it was caused by Xiaohei.
"Not bad, I'll get you some meat later."
He gave a Xiaohei a pat and stroked his smooth fur. He then moved the giant black rat's body out, preparing to bury it.
Then, something incredible happened.
When his body touched the giant black rat's body and touched the giant black rat's blood, a red light began to emit from his hand and envelope the giant black rat.
Next, the red light began to condense, and its body disappeared. A small pill the size of his thumb appeared in his hand.
"What happened? Was it the Monster Transmutation System? What's with the pill? Why do I feel so weak?"
He was shocked when he saw what happened with his eyes wide open. At the same time, he could feel exhaustion washing over him. He felt as if he had worked hard for the entire day. His guess was that he had expended too much energy when he created that red pill.
The pill in his hand was still warm to the touch and had a light fragrance.
"Bow-wow... give... me!"
When Xiaohei saw the red pill in Jiang Feng's hand, he wagged his tail with his tongue out and barked excitedly.
The pill must have been made by the Monster Transmutation System. Unfortunately, he could not check its stats in the real world, so he did not know what kind of pill this was. 'I'm not eating this, but since Xiaohei wants it so badly, I don't think it's poisonous. I could give it to Xiaohei so that he can taste it!'
With that thought, he gave the red pill in his hand to Xiaohei.
"Bow-wow..."
Xiaohei jumped up excitedly and immediately swallowed the red pill.
"Bow-wow..."
The moment Xiaohei swallowed the pill, it let out a painful bark and started rolling on the ground.
He thought that he could see a soft, red light begin to surround it.
"Xiaohei, are you alright?"
Jiang Feng asked Xiaohei when he saw what had happened.
Xiaohei did not care about what he had to say and kept on rolling on the ground and crying in pain.
Only after about ten minutes, Xiaohei stopped rolling about and the red light was absorbed into his body.
Huff...
He took in a few deep breaths of fresh air, and stood up with excitement and focus in his eyes.
"This..."
Jiang Feng noticed that Xiaohei seemed to have grown slightly larger, its fur smoother, and his fangs and teeth sharper.
"Bow-wow... Strong! Strong!"
Xiaohei rushed out into the yard as if he was filled with strength, and swiped at a tree with a trunk as thick as a human arm.
Crack!
In but one swipe, the tree was broken in half in a terrifying snap.
After Xiaohei had his fun, he ran back to Jiang Feng.
"Xiaohei, how do you feel after eating that pill?" Jiang Feng squatted down and asked him as he looked at him.
"Bow-wow... Strong! Strong!" Xiaohei said thrillingly.
He guessed that the red pill must have been a pill that could improve a human's or an animal's physical ability.
Xiaohei was already physically very strong. After taking the red pill, he must have become even stronger.
His estimate was that Xiaohei would not even need to fear a Ghostface Mastiff King!
After understanding what had happened, he dragged his tired body into the kitchen and took out a knife. He then walked to his yard.
He had some chickens in his yard that were reared by Su Qing. They were primarily used for making soup for his father to nourish his body.
He walked up to the cage and took a chicken out, and killed it without hesitation.
Once the chicken was dead, he extended his hand and held the bloodied chicken. However, he was perplexed when the chicken's body did not become a pill. Nothing happened.
'Why did nothing happen? Was it because I have expended too much energy today, or I can only use it once a day?' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at the chicken carcass in front of him.
Both of his guesses were possible. With that, he took the chicken carcass into the kitchen and left it there.
He then took out some beef and gave it to Xiaohei, and asked XIaohei to guard the house. He also told Xiaohei not to go up to the second floor so that it could not hurt the three fox cubs.
He then returned to his home to rest because he felt that his body was getting heavier and he was getting even more tired.
When he returned to his room, he sat on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After he fell asleep, there was a red light swirling through his body. When Xiaohei saw it, he ran over excitedly. He then lay down next to him and fell asleep.
When he slept, he fell into a very deep sleep.
He slept for two days straight.
Other than going to the toilet, he spent most of his time asleep, just like after the siege.
Xiaohei was exactly like him. If he slept, he would sleep. If he woke up, he would wake up as well.
It was as if Jiang Feng had something special attracting him, and Xiaohei was following him wherever he went.
As for the three fox cubs, he had asked his father to take care of them, so he was not worried if they would die of hunger.
Only after the third night, Jiang Feng was fully restored and he felt that he was energized again.
When his father saw Jiang Feng came out of his room, he frowned. "Little Feng, what happened to you? Why did you sleep so much for the past two days?"
Jiang Feng rubbed his neck and shook his head. "Nothing, I was just getting a good rest. I'm going to grab Yue Lao once the server has been reopened."
He knew, however, that his body had been weakened because he had transmuted the pill from the black giant rat.
His guess was that if he had taken that red pill that he had transmuted, then he would not be weakened to such a state. Perhaps, he would become even stronger.
His father already knew Jiang Feng's identity and knew the pressure that he was on. He filled Jiang Feng's bowl with rice and said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I can earn money from the game too. The fishes that I catch can be sold for around 3,000 now. I'm prepared to get a better and higher level fishing rod, and fish at a larger lake together with Zhou and Li. See if we can catch some rarer fish."
"Alright. Dad, how's Su Qing doing?" Jiang asked him as he started eating.
"She has almost fully recovered. The doctor said that she can be discharged tomorrow," His father replied.
"Okay."
Next, they had a small chat about the interesting things that happened in the game together as they had dinner. It was a joyful occasion.
After dinner, he went out and killed another chicken to see if he could transmute its carcass into the red pill.
And it was just as he had thought, the chicken was transmuted into a red pill to his excitement. Unfortunately, the red pill that he had gotten was far smaller than the one he got from transmuting the giant black rat. It was only the size of a bean. Maybe it was because the chicken was not as strong as the giant black rat.
"Bow-wow... eat!" XIaohei wagged his tail as he came over, wanting to have it.
This time, Jiang Feng did not give it to Xiaohei and swallowed it himself.
It was not poisonous so he wanted to try the red pill's effects on himself.
It did not take long after he had taken the red pill for him to feel a sharp pain coming from his body. He gritted his teeth as cold sweat started to flow from his forehead.
In a few minutes, the pain finally subsided. He felt that his body had become stronger and was filled with energy, and he was much more alert.
"Looks like the red pill could indeed strengthen one's body. I'll call it "Enhancing Pill" from now on."
Seeing that Jiang Feng did not give him the red pill, Xiaohei ran back into the house huffing and puffing.
Jiang Feng also locked the door behind him after he went back in.
Other than the first day, he had spent the other two days asleep. The game update that took three days had been completed without him even realizing it.
He looked at the time and noticed that the update was finally completed, and he could return to the game.
Every time he entered the game, he was filled with excitement and anticipation. It was no different this time around.
He put on the earring-type terminal, lay on the bed, and entered the game.

Chapter 163: The Eternal Love Quest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Welcome back to the game, player "Jiang Feng." Hope you have a good time in the game.
Once he returned into the game, he reappeared in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
He was in his dragon form.
He looked at his claws excitedly.
He was not sure why, but every time he entered the game he felt at home. It was as if Divine Dominion was his real home.
"I should go ask Uncle Hua about the Slaughter condition."
As soon as he returned to the game, he remembered about his weakness and was going to eliminate it as soon as possible.
Many players had already logged back into the game, and there was an endless stream of players within the Ancient City.
When he entered the Herbal Store, he had hidden from view. He had also temporarily closed the Herbal Store and had the players that wanted to buy medicine wait outside for the moment.
Once he closed the door, Jiang Feng revealed his shrunken self as he crawled on the counter.
"Xiao Feng, do you need anything in particular?" Uncle Hua asked him.
"Uncle Hua, I have a question. How can I not enter the Slaughter status?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Not entering the Slaughter status?" Uncle Hua smiled. "Those with the Shifters' Bloodline will enter the Berserk, Slaughter and Indifference status easily when they are enraged. The only way to stop it is to not kill, and not to become enraged."
"Um... Uncle Hua, you know that it is not possible for me to stop killing. If I don't I wouldn't be able to develop the Ancient City. Is there any other way?" Jiang Feng said to him.
He could still control his rage, but he could not stop the killing. This was a game, after all. If he wanted power, he would have to kill for it.
"There is another way. The Moon Essence could suppress these three statuses, but they could only be collected by the Fairies of the Heavenly Court," Uncle Hua said.
Moon Essence?
So he had to go to the Five Fingers Mountain once again?
Violetglow did not pay much attention to him last time, so his guess was that it would be the same this time around. Unless he killed the Four Great Arhats, he would not be able to do anything about that.
"I haven't reached Immortal rank, so even if I go I wouldn't be able to beat them. Fine, guess I just have to work hard and level up first, and I'll think of it later!" Jiang Feng had to give up for the time being as there was nothing else he could do.
After he had said his farewell to Uncle Hua, he left the Herbal Store and reopened it for business.
Ding. System Announcement: Yue Lao is currently at the Twilight Forest, South of the Imperial Dragon City.
"Looks like the Yue Lao event has begun. I have to get to him first. Yue Lao is equal to popularity, and maybe those players that are wedded would buy a house here."
With that, Jiang Feng used polymorph and transformed into his human form. After giving himself some disguise, he then teleported to the Imperial Dragon City
Once he appeared at the Imperial Dragon City's Teleportation Circle, he did not stay in the city and hid once again. He directly took flight toward the Twilight Forest to the south.
He saw that many players were already heading toward the Twilight Forest. They were probably heading over to see Yue Lao or to see what kind of interesting quests he would give to the stewards of the guilds' cities.
He still had some time before reaching the Twilight Forest from the Imperial Dragon City. During that time, he opened the World Message Board and started reading.
After browsing it for a bit, he smiled.
He had looked at the posts, but the posts by the Japanese Players no longer talked about the Huaxia Server or the Ruler of Hakai.
It seemed that they no longer dared to talk about the Huaxia Server. His guess was that they were afraid to anger him, and force him to visit the Japanese Server every once a week. They would really cry if he did that.
All the other posts were simply casual posts, with nothing much of value.
As he was browsing through the posts, he finally reached the outer edge of the Twilight Forest.
At this time, many of the players were already congregating right under the Monster Cloud. At the center of these players was an old man with a long, white beard.
There were many red threads on him, and he was holding a few male and female dolls as he was binding them with threads.
This old man was Yue Lao.
At this time, he saw Shen Ye from the Myth Group approach him. After speaking with him, he received a paper from Yue Lao, filled it in, and returned to the city.
Next, Canaan walked forward and exchanged a few words with Yue Lao. He then filled in a piece of paper and returned to the city as well.
After a while, around nine people had come forward. They spoke a few words, filled in a paper, and returned to the city as well.
There were not many bases and cities built within the game yet. Including the Ancient City, there were only thirteen of them.
Seeing that no one else was approaching Yue Lao, he then swooped down as he rode on the Monster Cloud.
"Look! It's the Shifters' Inheritor! He's my hero... so handsome... I love you!"
"I wonder what kind of quests he would receive? The ones before him all had the same quest."
"If the powerful Shifters' Inheritor were to participate, he would definitely finish this quest!"
As many of the players saw Jiang Feng land and walk over to Yue Lao, they all began discussing among themselves. Some of the female players that were fans of him even started screaming.
"Elder, may I invite you to visit the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor?" Jiang Feng walked over to Yue Lao and asked him very politely.
Yue Lao stopped whatever he was working at and looked at Jiang Feng. He gave a gentle smile and said, "If you can pass the test of the Three Generations Tower, then I can promise you. Be careful, this quest will affect you psychologically. Will you accept this?"
Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept Yue Lao's "Eternal Love" quest?
"Accept!"
"Please write down on this piece of paper the name of females that you have come across, and have some relationship with. Give me at least five," Yue Lao gave Jiang Feng a piece of paper.
'What's with this quest?'
He gave it a thought, and he accepted the red piece of paper. He then wrote the names of five women in it. What he had to do in order to get Yue Lao to come along with him.
"The Three Generations Tower is located within the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, you can go and do your quest now!" Yue Lao took the red paper and told Jiang Feng with a smile.
When he heard that, he quickly used a Town Portal Scroll to return to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
His guess was that the other guild leaders had the same quest as him. He had to finish the quest before they did or he would lose the chance to grab Yue Lao.
Once he had returned to the Ancient City of Shifter Emperor, he found the Three Generations Tower in front of the plaza right outside the Shifter Emperor's Palace.
The tower had three levels and it was very tall. His guess was that it must be at least one hundred meters tall.
He came in front of the Tower of the Three Generations, and then he pushed open the door and entered.
Whoosh!
After he had entered, the door closed up.
"This is..."
When he entered the tower, he noticed that he was surrounded by whiteness. There was a stone erected within it.
He walked over and looked at the rock and the five names written on it.
Ding. System Prompt: Will you begin the 'Eternal Love' quest?
"Yes!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he said it, five beauties appeared next to him.
These were Ling Feiyu, Xiao Lan the Inheritor of the Spirits, Violetglow the Fairy, Archmaster Moji, and Xiao Longnu.
"Just as I thought! Luckily, other than Ling Feiyu, all the ones that I chose were NPCs. If not, my identity would have been exposed by now!" Jiang Feng frowned as he saw the five women around him.
"Shifters' Inheritor?! I'll kill you!"
As soon as Xiao Lan and Archmaster Moji appeared within the Three Generations Tower and saw Jiang Feng, they were angered and started attacking him immediately.

Chapter 164: The First Dream
When Jiang Feng heard the name of the quest from Yue Lao, he knew that there was a catch to it.
Eternal Love. He did not have to think twice to know how awkward this quest would be.
That was why when he wrote the names down, almost everyone he chose were NPCs other than Ling Feiyu to prevent his identity from being exposed.
And just as he thought, when the dungeon was opened up, the five people he had chosen were all transported over.
Xiao Lan and Archmaster Moji were his enemies, so they wanted to kill him as soon as they saw him. Unfortunately, they were party members now and their attacks were useless against Jiang Feng.
"Little Feng!" Xiao Longnu saw Jiang Feng and she was filled with joy, and quickly went over to his side with a bright smile on her face.
When Ling Feiyu saw Xiao Longnu being so close with Jiang Feng, she became extremely cold and asked, "Why am I here?"
"Three Generations Tower, that damn Yue Lao. It's one of his games again!" Violetglow seemed to have some idea about where they were, then she remembered something about it and she scowled and said frigidly to Jiang Feng, "Why did you bring me here? I will not accompany you for three generations!"
Sun Wukong was the only one that Violetglow would keep in her heart. Knowing the Three Generations Tower's effect, she naturally would not want to party with Jiang Feng.
As soon as she said that, her figure disappeared within the Three Generations Tower, and her name had also been removed from the Three Generations Rock.
"Er... How about showing some support?" Jiang Feng was slightly stunned when he saw that Violetglow left, and then turned to Xiao Lan and Archmaster Moji with a forced smile. "Ahem... About that, since we have such a good relationship, why not accompany me for three generations?"
"Worry not, I will personally execute you one of these days! I'll see you in hell! Meanwhile, have fun with your spirit friend!" Archmaster Moji stared at Jiang Feng murderously before leaving.
"Hey, don't go! You better explain yourself! What do you mean have fun with your spirit friend! I want to kill him too!" When Xiao Lan heard what Archmaster Moji said, she was slightly angry. Just as she was about to get Archmaster Moji to explain herself, she had disappeared as well.
"Hey, I mean, since we at least know each other, can't you at least give me a chance?" Jiang Feng looked at them in exasperation.
He had just received the quest's details.
According to the quest description, he would have to restart his life as a newbie and have five women accompany him for three generations. If any one of them were to accompany him till the end, his quest would be considered a success.
During this quest, he would meet up with the other twelve guild leaders.
Once the quest begins, they would all begin as a newbie. The more people that were willing to help them, the greater the chance of them finishing this quest.
Since they would all begin as newbies, Shen Ye, Ling Yun, and Canaan would definitely try to eliminate him first. The fewer helpers he had, the harder for him to complete this quest.
"Hmph, you hooligan! One day, I would..."
Jiang Feng did not wait for Xiao Lan to finish her sentence and quickly walked over and said to her, "Hey... Let's just be clear here, I'm not a hooligan. Also, if I didn't defeat Laolao, you would never have become this strong. Can't you help me this once?!"
Xiao Lan bit her fleshy, tempting lips, but her eyes were filled with hate as she said, "Help you? Stop dreaming! Don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you every time I see you!"
With that, Xiao Lan left as well.
'Ho, kill me every time you see me? Let's see you try!' Jiang Feng thought to himself.
Then, he turned to look at Ling Feiyu and Xiao Longnu and said, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't write their names. Looks like it's going to be difficult to finish this quest."
Ding. Friendly Reminder: After completing the Three Generations, other than the first generations' memories, memories of the other two generations will be suppressed. Only when prerequisites are met would the other two generations' memories be released. Are you ready?"
Once he had confirmed who were the ones that would follow him, a voice announced it in his ears.
He looked at Ling Feiyu, and both their eyes were filled with surprise.
It was memory suppression again!
Only the Saintly Artifact Earth Book from Wuzhuang Taoist Temple had this kind of power. He did not know that the Tower of Three Generations would have the same power as well.
They guessed that the ones that had developed the game might have really found a way to suppress a person's memory. Otherwise, they would not use it in the game.
Perhaps, it was more accurate to say they had it in the testing phase and used players as test subjects.
Since this was just a game, it would not bring any harm to the players.
"Memory suppression? I have heard about it once from a professor during an open lecture. I did not think that they have actually completed the research!" Ling Feiyu said.
"It's not entirely impossible since they have developed a game like Divine Dominion. Forcing people to enter the game through the mind was perhaps even more complicated than suppressing memories," Jiang Feng said. "Stop thinking too much about it and help me complete the mission."
"Alright," Ling Feiyu agreed.
As the three of them were done with the preparations, the quest had formally begun.
After three hours, the quest had been completed.
Jiang Feng was teleported to the front of the Three Generations Tower. Meanwhile, Ling Feiyu and Xiao Longnu had been teleported back to where they were before their forced teleportation into the tower. The Three Generations Tower then slowly disappeared.
Ding. Server Announcement: Yue Lao has settled in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor for one month. Players who wish to get married, please head to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor to submit the necessary paperwork. Hope all the players are able to be joyful and live happily ever after!
"I... finished the quest? How did I finish it?"
Jiang Feng had a blank expression on his face after he came out of the tower. Because other than the memories of his first life, he could not remember the memories of the other two generations. He did not know how he completed it.
"It looks like the memory suppression technology really does exist as I can't remember what happened afterward." Jiang Feng was terrified just thinking about the existence of such a technology.
If this were used in a beneficial way, it could be used to aid those with a troubled mind, and perhaps could even have medical benefits on mental patients. But if it were used in a detrimental way, the effects would be terrifying.
But after giving it a thought, he felt that he did not need to be so cautious about it. The technology was still experimental and his memories could be restored. It was only a short term memory loss. The game company would not dare do anything rash or they would be forced to shut down.
After thinking it through, he sat on the steps in front of the Shifter Emperor's Palace and began to recall what had happened during his first life.
While only one hour had passed for each generation, he felt as if he had spent one entire lifetime.
It was like a dream. It was only a few minutes, but he had dreamed of what had happened in one lifetime.
It could be said that this quest was to dream. A dream participated by every player.
In his first life, he became a general that fought in wars during the Divine Dominion. Xiao Longnu and Ling Feiyu were his subordinates, and they fought for glory together until they aged and passed away.
What he did not expect was that he could use the Monster Transmutation System in that life as well, and he had used the Monster Transmutation System to become especially powerful.
He remembered that he had killed a few guild masters and their party members, but these guild masters were all quite weak in comparison and were quite low ranking.
"Ugh... The dream was too real. How did the game company do it?!" Jiang Feng sighed as he replayed what had happened during his first lifetime in his mind.
Just when he was lamenting, he did not know that a group of professors was looking at the data from a computer screen that was linked with many other pieces of machinery in the Divine Dominion's development center.
"How is it? How did the test for Lord God Lingluo go?" An old man asked the staff that was reading the data.
"Professor Ling, the test was a success," A staff member replied as he checked the computer's waves and data on the screen.
"Haha! Good! Another of our techs had a breakthrough! I wonder how many surprises Lingluo can give us," The old professor laughed excitedly, then he quickly said, "Continue digging at what the Lord God Lingluo's abilities are. Didn't think that an asteroid that fell on Earth twenty years ago would give us so many surprises! As soon as we can understand Lingluo thoroughly, the entire Earth's scientific progress would have a breakthrough! Perhaps, even the entire world would be renewed!"

Chapter 165: Wedding
Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, Central Statue.
Yue Lao stood next to the Shifter Emperor's statue. With a wave of his hand, a small stage had appeared. And on the stage, the word "Xi" was written on it. The word "Xi" was also the Chinese word for happiness.
With a wave of his hand, a chair appeared in front of him. He took a seat and played with the red thread and mud dolls in his hands.
When the players heard that Yue Lao had settled in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, they all came over and asked about getting married.
In just a short while, Yue Lao's surroundings were filled with players.
Jiang Feng, who was standing at the Shifter Emperor's Palace looked at the number of online players through the city management panel. As he saw the number climbing steadily, he smiled. This was the outcome that he was looking for.
Ding. Server Announcement: Bai Yi had given Su Xingyu 9999 Roses and had been granted the Rain of Petals effect. Wishing both of them a happy ever after!
As soon as the server announcement was made, the entire sky of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was filled with rose petals and they rained upon the city.
After the Marriage System had been introduced, roses were sold in the Trading Hall. One rose cost 20gp, and each rose would increase intimacy value by 10. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses would require around 200,000gp. Normal players could not afford that much.
"Hm? I didn't think that Bai Yi would be that generous. The rain of roses happened here in the Ancient City so does that mean they are here and want to get married here?"
Jiang Feng was slightly taken by surprise at the server announcement and looked at where Yue Lao was. He saw a handsome man kneeling before Su Xingyu, roses in his hands, and was asking for her hand in marriage.
Many players were surrounding them, and when they saw the rose petals raining from the sky, they became envious.
"Haha! I took a petal and I was given two roses."
"I got a rose too!"
What made many of the players feel excited was that in the rain of roses, there was a chance for them to pick up roses.
One rose was 20gp. If they could get a few more roses, then they would have enough to pay for dinner. No wonder they were so happy.
Su Xingyu accepted Bai Yi's marriage proposal, and they both did their marriage paperwork in front of Yue Lao. They then put down their title as Husband and Wife and got their Marriage Certificate.
Very quickly, a parade had appeared. Bai Yi was riding on his pet, a Red Wolf. He then led the procession with a bouquet of flowers in hand and started the parade.
Many of the high-level members of the Xingyu Guild kept on throwing petals into the bride's cart as fireworks burst out in the sky.
As there was candy as well as experience points within the area of the fireworks, many players were following the parade. If they give the newlywed their blessings, they would gain experience points. If the newlyweds were happy, they could even give out some items by putting them into gift boxes and spreading it throughout the parade.
"Haha! I received a White-Silver equipment from the bridegroom! Thank you, Bai Yi! Wish you and Su Xingyu a happy ever after!"
"I got two Green-bronze Equipment and some candies that recover health! Not bad, if there's a wedding every day, all I need to do is to follow the back of the cart and I would earn so much money!"
"Wow! Su Xingyu is giving out Red Packets! I got one with 100gp inside! As expected from a guild leader from one of the top ten guilds! So generous! If someone gives me this kind of treatment with the petal rain, I would marry him too!"
All the players following the parade become excited and tried to grab the gift boxes surrounding the parade.
Some of the female players would also want a Chinese wedding that was so romantic. Some female players even said that as long as someone asks for their hands in marriage with a rain of petals, they would accept it in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, the price of getting a rain of roses was too high. 200,000. It was not really that affordable for the common people. Unless the person was a Horticulturist and he had planted the roses himself. Perhaps then they would be able to get that many roses.
When many of the male players heard the wishes of the female players, they did not hesitate in running toward Yuan Ping, the Divine-Level Horticulturist's shop, to learn Horticulture. They were getting ready to plant roses and ask for the hand in marriage of the women of their dreams.
The parade could be life streamed and it was put up on Weibo and the official Message Board. After only a short while after the wedding was posted, another large group of players came to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. The Ancient City's online population began to skyrocket.
"Looks like it was worth it to snatch Yue Lao. Just one wedding has made the Ancient City so popular. If there were more weddings within this month, then the Ancient City's economy would become stable."
Jiang Feng was smiling with joy when he saw what happened. As he had gained popularity, economics would grow too. The city's experience points were also increasing. Once the experience points had been maxed, the city could then be upgraded.
"The Ancient City has finally been developed well, but it's still not yet complete. Now that I have so many Evolution Pills, time to train my followers."
After taking a look, Jiang Feng did not continue watching. Instead, he flew down from the Ancient City on the Monster Cloud.
As he just wanted to train his followers, he did not intentionally find a place to kill monsters. He directly jumped off the Ancient City and flew downward.
As for the War for Resources, he was not going to join that event.
There were plenty of events around the Ancient City so there was no need to grab any more resources. Not only that, he even opened these resource points to the solo players.
The monsters from the Ancient City did not know how to mine, and Robert and Rocket were not mining there as well as they would buy their ores. And since it was just there doing nothing, he might as well allow the solo players to have them. Perhaps he could even have a few players based in the city permanently.
Nanhai City, Hengduan Mountain Range. It possessed territories of monsters within level 40-60.
He opened the map and looked at the monsters around the Hengduan Mountain Range according to his followers' types.
There were around thirty types of monsters within the mountain range, and there were five types that he could fuse his followers with. That meant that he could max out the bloodline of five followers.
"Yanhu, Heifeng, Xiaotian, Houwang, Haozi, Come!"
As soon as he landed on the mountain range, he released Yanhu and his other followers from the Qiankun Gourd.
"Boss, you've finally released me! Guapi, that dragon girl, is too barbaric! Quickly, get her out of there. Brother Yan and I are on the verge of losing our status!" The moment Heifeng was let out, he cried as he held Jiang Feng's dragon claw in its paw.
Seeing Heifeng's bruised face, Jiang Feng knew that he must have provoked Guapi again.
Houwang scratched his ear and said to Jiang Feng with a laugh, "Boss, don't listen to him. Just when Guapi was falling asleep, he went over and disturbed her, and she beat him up!"
"No wonder!" Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Heifeng.
Next, he took out five Evolution Pills and said to his five followers, "There are monsters of the Tiger, Wolf, Monkey and Rat race here. Kill them and bring their body here, and I will raise your bloodline. Later, each of you can get one Evolution Pill."
"Thank you, Boss!"
When Heifeng saw the Evolution Pill, he no longer cried and ran toward a group of Violetwind Tigers.
Yanhu and the other four followers also scattered outward into the different monster territories and began to kill the monsters.
Seeing that his other followers had all struck out on their own, he looked for the closest point where the four monsters' territories intersected and crouched down on the ground. He then took out the Divine Fate Compass and started searching for the Donghuang Bell fragments.
There were still many fragments that were lost outside, and he was prepared to raise his followers' powers as he looked for the Donghuang Bell fragments. Meanwhile, he also needed to increase his own level and push into Spiritual Level so that he could accept and finish the Chinese Ghost Story quest.

Chapter 166: Wen Yan
During this period of time, he had not been using the Divine Fate Compass. The main reason being that he was too busy.
But now that he had nothing much to do, he took out the Divine Fate Compass and began searching for the Donghuang Bell fragments.
As the Divine Fate Compass began to turn, Shen Luo appeared before him once again.
"Master, please choose the type of treasure that you seek."
"Donghuang Bell Fragments!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the compass began to turn faster and the runes floated out of the compass and shot out in all directions.
"We found it. There is one Donghuang Bell fragment within the Hengduan Mountain Range. Its coordinates are 3587.9435." Shen Luo told Jiang Feng very quickly.
'Hm? Wasn't expecting a fragment in the Hengduan Mountain Range, looks like my luck is quite good.'
While he found out that there was a Donghuang Bell fragment within the mountain range, he did not go off in a rush. He would go once he had increased his five followers' strength.
In a short while, his five followers each brought back a corpse.
He began to fuse his followers with the corpses to improve their bloodline.
Once they had been improved, they would have to go and get more corpses.
Only after six hours did all his followers' bloodlines reach 100%.
"Here, these are the Evolution Pills that I've promised you."
Jiang Feng took out five Evolution Pills and gave them to his five followers.
"Thank you, Boss! I love you!"
Once Heifeng had taken the Evolution Pill, he thanked him excitedly then threw it into his mouth.
He wanted to become stronger badly. If not, Guapi would keep on beating him up in the Qiankun Gourd. He did not want to be bruised every day.
Yanhu, Houwang, Haozi, and Xiaotian did not hesitate and swallowed the pills as well.
His five followers began to evolve.
Very quickly, five fireballs appeared in front of him.
While his followers were evolving, he started killing monsters and using Transmute Monster to obtain more bloodline and Evolution Pills.
Now that his followers' powers had been increased, his own powers needed to be increased as well.
Currently, there were already players that had reached level 50 and could change their classes a third time. Players' stats would increase by another 30%. With a complete set of equipment, it was completely possible for their attacks and defense values to surpass him.
After his five followers had finished evolving, he too consumed three drops of refined Divine Beast Bloodlines, and his Dragon bloodline purity had increased a little bit.
He looked at his followers that had successfully evolved and increased in power enviously.
Originally, he was going to keep on increasing their bloodline and evolving them.
However, when he thought of that Donghuang Bell fragment, he lost interest in helping them fuse and wanted to focus on finding that fragment first.
Hengduan Mountain Range was several hundred kilometers in length.
Deep within the mountain range were several active volcanoes.
Based on the fragments' locations, it was within one of the volcanoes.
Jiang Feng put away his followers then headed toward the flagged volcano on the Monster Cloud.
The volcano was about a thousand meters tall, and the sky above the peak had been burned red by the boiling lava. Lava would spout every once in a while.
Approaching close toward the peak of the volcano, he could feel a scorching wave come close to him, and that the temperature of the surroundings began to rise.
He quickly took out the Ruler of Hakai and held it in his hand to resist the heat.
The Ruler of Hakai increased nine elemental resistances by 30% and his fire resistance was 30%. With the Ruler of Hakai's increased resistance of 30%, his fire resistance had become 60%.
With a high fire resistance, the heat had stopped affecting him.
'According to the waypoint, the Donghuang Bell fragment should be inside the volcano. Looks like I have to enter,' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at the vent of the volcano. He then entered the volcano vent with the Monster Cloud.
As soon as he entered the volcano, even more heat came toward him. Luckily, he had high fire resistance. If not, his HPs would decrease as soon as he had entered the vent.
The volcano vent itself was not very big, but the chamber underneath it was huge. It must be at least several hundred meters in diameter wide.
When he was at the vent, Jiang Feng frowned as he looked at the boiling lava.
"Don't tell me the Donghuang Bell fragment is at the bottom of the lava? How the hell am I supposed to go down there?"
"Inheritor of the Shifters? What are you doing here?"
Just when he was thinking of a way to get to the bottom of the lava, someone spoke to him.
Curiously, he looked at the source of the voice.
He saw that behind him, in front of the face of a wall, a handsome red-haired man that was enveloped in fire was staring at him.
When he saw the red-haired man, he was slightly surprised.
He was not expecting anyone to be here, much less a man surrounded by fire standing on top of boiling lava.
He then looked at the man's status.
Wen Yan: Level 50 Inheritor of the Flames
Stats: Hidden, cannot be seen
"The Inheritor of the Flames!"
He was not expecting to meet the inheritor of the flames.
But what disappointed him was that other than his name, all his other stats had been hidden and that he could not see them.
"I'm here looking for the Donghuang Bell fragment. If I'm correct, it's in your hands?" Jiang Feng asked Wen Yan with a smile.
"You meant this?"
Wen Yan smiled and he waved his hand. Two Fire Elementals appeared from the lava with a bronze piece around the size of a hand fan. It was indeed one of the Donghuang Bell fragments.
"You already know why I'm here. Can you give the fragment to me?" Jiang Feng asked him.
His guess was that Wen Yan was not a player. If he were a player, then he would not stay within the volcano.
"I can give it to you, but you have to defeat me first. I want to see if the Shifters' Inheritor is stronger, or the Flames' Inheritor is more powerful!" As he said that, his eyes began to beam with excitement. Indeed, as expected of the Inheritor of the Flames. While he looked calm on the surface, he was surging with excitement within.
"Understood, let's do this!"
Jiang Feng shrunk his huge body and expanded the Monster Cloud, covering the entire lava lake, forming a platform. He took out the Jingu Staff and turned it into a claw, and equipped It unto his claw. His other claw was holding the Ruler of Hakai.
"It's a bit meaningless if we use skills. So, why don't we use our physical strength only? If you can take thirty blows from me and not die, I'll give you the Donghuang Bell fragment!" Wen Yan said arrogantly.
"Such pride!"
Jiang Feng yelled out coldly and his draconic body rushed toward Wen Yan. He raised his dragon claw and violently swiped toward Wen Yan as the very air screeched.
"A great attack!" Wen Yan's eyes beamed with excitement as he roared, and a pair of cestus appeared in his hand and clashed with Jiang Feng's dragon claw.
Boom!
Both took two steps back after the initial crash, and they collided with each other once again.
Boom! Bang!
The sound of the dragon claw and fist crashing with each other echoed within the volcano.
Wen Yan was very powerful, capable of controlling the fire on him at will. It would become a blade in one second, and become a shield the next, then become an armor after that. And it was causing Jiang Feng to get a headache.
And once his attack hit Jiang Feng, it would deal around 20,000 damage, a testament to his terrifyingly high attack power.
As for Jiang Feng, several of his scales had already been singed. No matter how he attacked with his dragon claw, it would be blocked by the shield or armor formed by the fire, and it angered him.
If this were to continue, his HPs would deplete in less than 15 hits.
"Berserk!"
Ding. System Prompt: You have entered Berserk status. Attack and movement speed increased by 100%.
The flames were considered natural talents of the Inheritor of the Flames, so his three statuses were also considered as his natural talents as a Shifter.
In order to obtain the Donghuang Bell fragment, he had no choice but to enter the Berserk Status.
Currently, as soon as he became angered, he could enter the Berserk status easily. He still could not enter the Slaughter status at will, unless he saw blood. Lots and lots of blood.
Once he became Berserk, his movement speed shot up and far surpassed Wen Yan.
At one point in time, his figure could be seen all around the volcano.
Clang!
While Jiang Feng became quicker, his attacks still could not pierce through his armor. As he could not use any skills, it was difficult for him to deal any damage to Wen Yan.
Even if he could use skills, his guess was that his skills would not outclass Wen Yan's skills by much.
After thirty rounds, he only managed to deal a few thousand points of damage to Wen Yan. Meanwhile, he only had around 40,000 HPs left. Two more damage and he would be killed.
"Haha! This is great!" After the thirtieth round, Wen Yan stopped, his hands shaking excitedly. "We can stop now, we can stop! If we continue, I might just accidentally kill you!"
Jiang Feng had lost dozens of scales by this point, and he had burns on multiple parts of his body with blood still dripping from his wounds. It could be said that he had never been this mortified before.
On the other hand, losing to an NPC Inheritor that was a higher level than him was nothing to be embarrassed about.
"You're very arrogant, but I like you! You're just like me!" Jiang Feng smiled at Wen Yan as he swallowed a Large Recovery Pill.
"You're quite arrogant too! But you have too many bloodlines in you, and different rankings to boot! That made you lose to me. My advice to you is to increase the rankings of all your bloodlines. Once you have done that, I may not be your match anymore!" Wen Yan said as he narrowed his eyes, then laughed out uncontrollably. "Of course, if you do become stronger than I am, you have to fight me again!"
"Thank you for your teachings, my friend. But next time, you will be the one to lose!" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised when he heard what Wen Yan had to say, and his eyes beamed as he said with a laugh.
Next, Wen Yan gave the Donghuang Bell fragment to him, and they made a promise with each other.
Because of this promise, Jiang Feng was filled with joy. If he and Wen Yan could form a bond over this, he would have another helper during the coming Great Divine-Infernal War.

Chapter 167: The Shifter Sealing Tower
Hengduan Mountain Range, within the volcano.
After his trial with Wen Yan and obtaining the eightieth Donghuang Bell fragment, he started to have an idle chat with Wen Yan.
Mostly on the topic of fighting, and one could tell how much Wen Yan liked to fight.
Because of the limits of the NPCs, he could not leave the volcano. And he could not really fight with the rest of his tribesmen. He was having a very hard time holding back these past few years.
Coincidentally, Jiang Feng arrived, and he could have a battle where he could go all out. After some chatter and the realization that they were quite alike in personality, they quickly became friends.
They finally went their own ways after chatting with each other for a long time.
When Jiang Feng left the volcano, he kept on replaying the words that Wen Yan told him in his mind.
"Not only did I get the eightieth fragment easily, but Wen Yan has also opened up my mind!"
He still had twenty one Evolution Pills on him, and he could use them to increase the bloodline on him with them.
In the past, he did not care much for the other bloodlines as he felt that the stat increment was not as substantial.
But after Wen Yan had explained it to him, he was finally aware of the possibility.
While he had many bloodlines within him, if he could increase every single one to rank 6 and evolve, the increase would be equal to or be more than evolving the Dragon bloodline twice or three times despite the few stats they had increased individually.
If that were the case, his power could be increased manifold.
Around two months ago, the main reason that the Shifter Hierophant, Ya Di, had chosen him was because of his ability to fuse with the bloodline of all races. Other than requiring the restoration of the Donghuang Bell, it was also because once all the races' bloodlines had reached their apex, he would become something that was super strong.
"I should find a place to evolve. Other than the dog race, crocodile race, and tiger race, all my other bloodlines have reached 100%. I have eighteen bloodlines within me, that means that I can evolve fifteen times!" He mumbled to himself, then found a place that was safe and deserted on the Monster Cloud and was ready to evolve.
When he found a place that he was happy with, he consumed the Evolution Pill.
He chose the wolf bloodline, and next, his huge draconic body was enveloped by a fireball and he became a flaming cocoon.
Within the cocoon, he could feel himself burning as if his body was being melted.
Ten minutes later, the fire cocoon burst open.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution successful. You have become a rank one Wolf Cub.
After he had evolved, Jiang Feng became a grey wolf cub. He looked like a small dog, but he was very small.
"Fusing is much better since it has a chance of directly reaching the monster's original rank. If I have to consume the bloodline, I have to evolve from the very beginning!" Jiang Feng looked at his own body and said to himself.
When he just started the game, he had fused with the Wild Dogs. Once his bloodline had reached 100%, his rank would increase even if he did not take any Evolution Pills.
But what he had to make clear was that he had fused with many Wild Dogs and a Wild Dog King, that was why his rank had increased to rank four immediately.
It was the same case when he fused with the Broken-tooth Crocodile. After fusing a third time, the crocodile's rank had also reached rank two. If he were to continue fusing, he would no doubt reach a higher rank.
Unfortunately, while fusing increased his rank quickly and he need not spend any Evolution Pills, his success rate with it was still not high enough.
"If only I could get more luck forcing the Fusion rate to reach 90% and above. I could become stronger even quicker then!"
His guess was that his current success rate for fusion was around 40% to 50%. When he succeeded three times out of four times, luck was indeed playing a role.
"I have to continue evolving!" He mumbled a bit as he continued to evolve.
Beep! Beep!
Just as he was going to take the second pill and continue to evolve his other bloodlines, Ling Feiyu sent a message over.
Curiously, he opened her text and took a look.
Ling Feiyu: "Are you free?"
Jiang Feng replied, "Yes, I am. What's up?"
Ling Feiyu: "I've received one of the Ten Main Plots, The Legend of Sword and Fairy. It needs two players to complete, interested?"
The Third of the Ten Main Plots! He did not expect it to be the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and this was good news!
The rewards for any quests related to the Ten Main Plots were all quite good. So when Ling Feiyu sent him information about the quest, he accepted it whole-heartedly.
Jiang Feng asked her excitedly, "Where are you right now? I'll go look for you!"
Ling Feiyu: "Mount Shu, Shifter Sealing Tower!"
Once he had her location, he did not choose to continue evolving. Instead, he had chosen to use Polymorph and transformed into his human form and returned to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. He then used the Teleportation Circle to teleport to Shuchuan City.
Shuchuan City was located in the Southwest of the continent.
It was filled with mountains here, and they were all linked together. This was also an area that was filled with the most monster territories.
Mount Shu was the main peak among all the mountains.
There was a sect on the mountain top, and therefore it could be said to be a spawn point for humanoid NPCs.
All the humanoid NPCs there could drop the fragments of skills, so many came here to farm for skills.
The reason that Ling Feiyu would come here was that she wanted to farm for some skills with high damage, as she was a priest and did not have many skills that could deal high damage.
He quickly arrived at the place where he said he would meet up with Ling Feiyu thanks to the Monster Cloud.
It was a tower with nine levels and was located on another mountain peak surrounded by clouds behind Mount Shu's sect. The level of the monsters inside were ranged from level 10 to level 100, and it was not opened yet.
His guess was that the Shifter Sealing Tower would only be opened to players after this Main Plot quest had been completed. There would be more players coming over to Mount Shu afterward.
When he came close to the mountain peak where the Shifter Sealing Tower was located, Jiang Feng saw Ling Feiyu standing near its edge in her green-colored robe.
When she saw him fly over, Ling Feiyu smiled faintly. As the wind blew at her hair and the misty clouds surrounded her, she looked like a fairy descending upon the mortal realm.
Jiang Feng looked at her, and he was stunned by her beauty.
When the Monster Cloud reached the mountain peak, Jiang Feng finally came to. He landed next to Ling Feiyu and smiled. "Did you wait for a long time?"
Ling Feiyu glanced at Jiang Feng perplexedly, and then asked him, "Do you remember the memories of the two lifetimes from the Eternal Love quest?"
Jiang Feng was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said, "I don't. Do you remember?"
"I don't!" Ling Feiyu shook her head.
While the memories of her two lifetimes had been suppressed, she felt that something must have happened between her and Jiang Feng. It was a strange but wonderful feeling.
Even her first memories were slightly different from Jiang Feng's.
In her first life, while she was one of Jiang Feng's subordinates, she was a subordinate that loved him. She did try to tell him, but unfortunately, the Jiang Feng during his first lifetime was someone with zero EQ and only cared about the safety of his country. He did not realize it at all.
"Oh, right, how did you trigger this quest?" Jiang Feng did not notice anything strange with Ling Feiyu, and asked her curiously.
"I met with the heavily injured Li Xiaoyao. I healed him, and he asked me to do this quest to save Zhao Ling'er. Only then I triggered this quest," Ling Feiyu said.
"So... The Shifter Sealing Tower. The monsters at the top are all level 100, how are we going to save her?" Jiang Feng was a bit speechless.
"We don't have to reach the ninth level. Zhao Ling'er has been captured and locked up on the fifth floor. All we need to do is to get to the fifth floor," Ling Feiyu said.
The monsters on the fifth floor were all level 50 monsters, and it would not be too hard handling them. The only difficult one to handle was the boss.
The boss at the fifth level probably would not be level 50, it would most probably be level 60.
But to him, it would not be too difficult anyway. Thanks to his followers, he could even deal with level 60 bosses.
Jiang Feng took out the Jingu Staff and transformed it into a longsword. He then said to Ling Feiyu, "Alright, let's go!"
Ling Feiyu glanced at Jiang Feng and nodded. "Okay!"

Chapter 168: Problem With the Quest
Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu approached the Shifter Sealing Tower.
Ling Feiyu took out a key, raised her pale hand, and opened the door.
Creak!
The Shifter Sealing Tower's huge door was opened up.
As soon as he entered, a path appeared before the both of them.
As they entered the Shifter Sealing Tower, the door shut closed.
"It's designed to be a maze inside. Without a map, we need to find the correct path to find the boss that protects the key to the second level!" Ling Feiyu said to Jiang Feng calmly.
He then opened the map and looked at it. Indeed, it was all black with nothing drawn. He looked at the many paths that were branched out in front of him. He walked to where the paths branched out, only to see that all the three paths were filled with monsters. At the end of the paths were once again three branching paths.
Just as Ling Feiyu had said, the entire Shifter Sealing Tower was a maze.
"A maze? Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
With that, he took out the Qiankun Gourd and released all his followers inside, including the Arcane Amulet Dragon Guapi, the Horned Lightning Hawk, and the Two-headed Gryphon.
"God, you almost bored me to death! Hey, didn't you say we could go kill the Invaders? You pulled me back halfway through and I even had to get harassed by a weirdo! I'm so pissed right now!"
The moment Guapi came out, she immediately complained to Jiang Feng.
"Who the hell harassed you..." The bruised Heifeng hid behind Jiang Feng and said in fear.
"What did you say, weirdo...?" The moment Guapi heard what Heifeng said, she raised her dragon claw and was about to smack him.
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly at Guapi and Heifeng, then said to them in a serious tone, "Alright, stop fooling around. I have a mission for all of you!"
"Steward, have you forgotten? The three of us have only settled in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. We are not your followers nor servants. There is no obligation for us to work for you," Guapi said to Jiang Feng as she shrunk herself and flew toward Jiang Feng.
With a smile, Jiang Feng then took out an Evolution Pill and said in a calm manner, "It is true. You do not have to force yourselves to work for me, and I wouldn't force you too. That being said, whoever helps me find the Territory King of this level, this Evolution Pill will be his."
"The Golden Pill!" Guapi's, the Horned Lightning Hawk's, and the Two-headed Gryphon's eyes beamed with excitement.
Whoosh!
The Thunderclap Mantis, Houwang, the Redscaled Python, did not say anything and quickly headed to each of the branching paths. Any monsters that were in their way were instantly killed.
These monsters were only at level 10. While their stats were higher than the monsters outside, they were nothing to these Territory Kings.
"The golden pill is mine! Xiaoying, Xiaojiu, quickly go and find this level's Territory King!"
The Evolution Pill was indeed something that all monsters wanted. The moment Guapi saw the Evolution Pill, she did not care if she was working for Jiang Feng anymore. She quickly gave an order to Xiaoying, Xiaojiu, and set out herself.
"I said, don't call me Xiaoying!"
"Don't call me Xiaojiu too!"
Both the Horned Lightning Hawk and Two-headed Gryphon complained respectively and moved out.
In just a moment, the sixty bosses had all set forth to all areas of the first level, trying to find the Territory King of the first level.
Ling Feiyu was slightly stunned when she saw what Jiang Feng did, and said to him, "You're quite good at this."
Jiang Feng grinned and said, "Of course, all we need to do now is to wait."
With that, he crossed his legs and was ready to use his lottery chance. As he was in a rush, he still had not had the chance to use it.
After the Monster Transmutation System had been upgraded, this was the first time he was using it.
After the Monster Transmutation System had been upgraded, each time he evolved, he would get two lottery chances. He wanted to know what was different after the system had been upgraded.
Ling Feiyu was not sure what Jiang Feng was doing so she did not disturb him. Instead, she was just standing by the side smiling gently and happily, watching him as he focused his will.
He opened the lottery wheel, and chose to double and began the lottery.
The indicator began to spin. After a dozen seconds, it stopped on the equipment category. Two Yellow-Gold treasure chests appeared.
He looked at the treasure chests and opened them immediately.
Both the Yellow-Gold treasure chests contained a ring each.
Ring of Speed: Yellow-Gold Equipment
Movement Speed 50%
Attack Speed 50%
Evasion 20%
Passive Skill: Fleet of Foot, after disengaging from a battle, increase movement speed by 30%
Prerequisite: Level 45 Monster
Ring of Strength: Yellow-Gold Equipment
Attack 4,000
Passive Skill: Heavy Injury, when attacking an enemy, deal extra 200 points of damage.
Prerequisite: Level 45 Monster
"Hm... My luck is quite bad this time. At least give me a Dark-Gold or Spiritual or something..." Looking at the two rings in the chests, he was speechless but still put them away.
If he wanted equipment, he could always make them himself. He could even forge higher level equipment than this.
However, he did not have the time to forge all those equipment, and that was why he did not equip any more equipment.
Currently, the only equipment on him was the Jingu Staff and the Requiem Bell. He had already passed his Dragonballs to his followers.
While the two pieces of equipment were not that great, they were passable. So he had them equipped.
After equipping the Ring of Speed and Ring of Strength, his attack reached 40,000 and his movement speed had become even faster.
As he was still in human form, the two rings were directly equipped on his arms.
After he had them equipped, he stood up.
Seeing that he had finally stood up, Ling Feiyu asked him curiously, "What were you doing just now?"
"Nothing, I was thinking some things through."
The lottery wheel and treasure chests were not visible to Ling Feiyu, and he did not want to expose the Monster Transmutation System, so he said nothing.
At this time, Guapi, the Horned Lightning Eagle, Two-Headed Gryphon, and his group of followers had all returned. Guapi wagged his tail, and said to Xiaoying and Xiaojiu discontentedly, "Xiaoying, Xiaojiu, both of you are too stupid! You let the dog with the knife find it first! Now, I don't have the golden pill anymore!"
Xiaotian showed his teeth and his knife and asked Guapi coldly, "Did you call me a dog?!"
"It wasn't me that said it, it was that weirdo," Guapi pointed at Heifeng, who just came back flapping his wings.
"Heifeng, I'm going to kill you!" Xiaotian roared out angrily as he pounced at him.
"What's going on?" When Heifeng was on his way back and saw Xiaotian pouncing toward him hastily, he showed some excitement despite knowing nothing about the situation and greeted Xiaotian saying, "My wolfdog, I know you love me, but my heart already belongs to Brother Yan, we... Oh my God! Why are you stabbing me with the knife...?"
"Alright, stop fooling around. Xiaotian, this is your Evolution Pill. Lead the way!"
Seeing Xiaotian and Heifeng fight again, he was speechless for a moment. He then took out an Evolution Pill and threw it to Xiaotian. Xiaotian immediately gave up fighting with Heifeng, turned around, and caught the Evolution Pill. He then brought Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu to where the Territory King of the first level was.
The monsters in the first level had already been cleared by Guapi and the others.
Very quickly, they had reached the location of the Territory King of this level.
The Territory King of the first level was a level 20 Phantom.
He did not even treat it seriously. He took out his Jingu Staff and killed the level 20 boss within a few seconds.
A key dropped, and a door appeared in front of them.
He put away all his followers and entered the second level along with Ling Feiyu.
The second level was filled with level 20 monsters and he used the same method to find the boss of the second level. They then continued to the third level.
As all the monsters in the first four floors were monsters that were level 40 and lower, there was no pressure on him or Ling Feiyu.
But when they reached the fifth level, both of them frowned.
The fifth floor was no maze, and it was not large at all. There were three giant stone swords in the middle of the room, and there were several thick chains on the stone sword. However, what the two could not understand was that there was nothing in the fifth level!
There were no monsters, and Zhao Ling'er was not there either!
Ling Feiyu frowned and asked all confused, "What's going on? The quest said that I have to save Zhao Ling'er on the fifth floor!"
Jiang Feng frowned as he thought about it, then said to Ling Feiyu, "There's a problem with the quest. Go back and find Li Xiaoyao!"

Chapter 169: Locked in the Shifter Sealing Tower
The quest clearly said to save Zhao Ling'er, who was on the fifth floor of the Shifter Sealing Tower.
But when they arrived at the fifth floor, there was no Zhao Ling'er at all.
That could only mean one thing. There was a problem with this quest!
That meant that the person who issued the quest was not Li Xiaoyao, or that Li Xiaoyao was an antagonist in the plot of this game.
The latter seemed a bit impossible. Even if the NPC was an antagonist, they would not automatically antagonize them without cause.
There was another possibility. The quest did not have any problem. Perhaps returning and asking Li Xiaoyao about it would unlock the next chain of events.
Clang... Clang...
Just as Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu were about to leave using their Town Portal Skill and ask Li Xiaoyao about it, the chains on the three giant swords moved. Like slithering snakes, they appeared next to them in the blink of an eye and chained them together, then pulled them back unto the giant sword.
Ding. System Prompt. Warning. You have been caught by the Shifter Binding Lasso and cannot be released within 24 hours when bound by the Shifter Binding Lasso. You cannot use any skills and items within this period. Your avatar would remain when you log out. If you die, you would revive in the same location!
"What?! Bound for 24 hours, damn it!" The moment Jiang Feng heard the system's voice, he gritted his teeth.
Ling Feiyu was in the same situation as him and was tied up together with him. Both could not escape.
Ling Feiyu said in a cold voice, "We've been had!"
Whoosh!
At this time, a puff of black smoke rose in front of them. Then, Archmaster Moji appeared.
"It's you!"
The moment Jiang Feng saw Archmaster Moji, he frowned and called her out.
Archmaster Moji's beautiful face carried a whimsical smile as she said, "That's right. It was me! I told you, I will kill you!"
Jiang Feng asked in a frigid tone, "So, you arranged all this?"
Archmaster Moji smiled with a nod. "That's right. I arranged this. Unfortunately, as the one that issued the quest, I can't touch you. Otherwise, I would have slain you where you stand!"
Jiang Feng understood it now. The Li Xiaoyao was a fake and was a disguised Archmaster Moji.
And the quest was not real either and was only an excuse to lure him here.
The reason that Archmaster Moji would find Ling Feiyu was because she had seen her together with him in the Three Generations Tower.
That was why she had guessed that Ling Feiyu's relationship with him was quite cordial, and she sought her out.
In the game, the NPCs had the authority to issue quests. As an Archmaster, Archmaster Moji naturally had the same authority.
But the quest from an NPC could only be taken by a player. Among those who were with him in the Three Generations Tower, only Ling Feiyu was a player. And that was another reason she looked for Ling Feiyu.
She wanted to use Ling Feiyu to lure him over. Of course, it was all a gamble. If Ling Feiyu did not contact him, then her plan would have failed.
But she won. Ling Feiyu looked for him and made her plan a success. Both Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu fell into her trap.
As for why Archmaster Moji did not look for him directly, first, it was because she did not know where she was. Secondly, killing him once would not be enough. And that was why she did such a thing.
Jiang Feng then asked, "If you can't kill me, then why did you seal us here?"
Archmaster Moji then smiled and said, "Aha. True, I cannot kill you, but others can!"
Ding. Server Announcement: The Inheritor of the Shifters has been bound on the fifth level of the Shifter Sealing Tower. Within 24 hours, the Inheritor of the Shifters can't use any skills and items and would revive in the same spot. Anyone who kills the Inheritor of the Shifters would receive one level 50 White-Silver Equipment and 100,000 experience points!
"You..."
The moment the server announcement appeared, Jiang Feng's body trembled and he became infuriated.
"Tsk, don't look at me with those eyes. You should feel honored that I used my only chance to post a server announcement on you," The Archmaster Moji then continued, "Enjoy and savor it. I hope I can see you again!"
With that, her body disappeared into a black mist.
Ling Feiyu asked curiously, "You've been bound for 24 hours?"
Jiang Feng turned and looked at Ling Feiyu. Perhaps they were being tied too close together and the distance was too close. As soon as he turned, his lips accidentally touched hers. Her moist lips made his heart tremble.
Ling Feiyu quickly turned away in embarrassment. But when the numbing feeling on her lips was gone, regret appeared in her eyes.
"I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," When Jiang Feng saw Ling Feiyu turn her head over, he said in embarrassment. His rage dissipated somewhat. "About that... Just now, you asked me if I was bound for 24 hours? You aren't?"
Ling Feiyu nodded at him. "I'm only bound for 2 hours. And, I should be the one to apologize. I dragged you into this."
"It's fine, no one could have expected there to be fake quests within the game!" Jiang Feng said as he shook his head.
He really could not blame Ling Feiyu for this. The possibility of having fake quests in the game had never crossed his mind.
It could be said that he had underestimated the NPC's intelligence and abilities.
'I'm bound for 24 hours, and it looks like the Shifter Binding Lasso is quite effective within the Shifter Sealing Tower!'
'No, I have to find a way to hide the Ruler of Hakai and Qiankun Gourd. If many players were to come over, I would be killed and the items on me would drop! If the items that were dropped were the Ruler of Hakai and the Qiankun Gourd, he would suffer a great loss.
Once he thought of that, he quickly closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the Thunderclap Mantis.
He could not use his Spatial Bracelet, and the Qiankun Gourd was inside the Spatial Bracelet, so he could not use it at all. So the only way that he could think of was to have the Thunderclap Mantis find a way out from the Qiankun Gourd.
Of course, he was just trying. He was not sure if it would work.
In the Qiankun Gourd, the Thunderclap Mantis was training a few bosses when suddenly its eyes began to twirl.
"Brother Mantis, what happened? Did we position ourselves wrongly?" The Lightning Tiger King looked at the Thunderclap Mantis.
"Something happened to the boss!" Said the Thunderclap as it ran toward Xiaotian who was resting by a lake.
"Xiaotian, where's your golden pill?" The Thunderclap Mantis approached Xiaotian and asked urgently.
"The golden pill was given to me by the boss!" Xiaotian looked at the Thunderclap Mantis vigilantly.
"The boss is in danger, and he has asked me to get a golden pill to save him. Once the boss is saved, he would give you two!" The Thunderclap Mantis said.
Xiaotian looked at the Thunderclap Mantis's serious expression, and he knew that the Thunderclap Mantis never joked around, he did not hesitate and took out the Evolution Pill from the fur on his chest and threw it to the Thunderclap Mantis.
When it had the Evolution Pill, it then headed toward Guapi.
"Guapi, you have the ability to warp through space, correct?"
The Thunderclap Mantis had seen Guapi's ability once. The dragon horn on Guapi had runes that allowed her to warp through space and allowed her to appear in any location within fifty meters. It was even more powerful than your common positioning skills.
Guapi blinked and said, "That's right. We, from the Arcane Amulet Dragon tribe, are most proficient in using runes. We know runes for every type of magic. Isn't that great? Do you adore me now? Do you want to follow me instead?"
The Thunderclap Mantis rolled its eyes at her and said urgently, "We can discuss that later. The boss is in danger. Send me out of the Qiankun Gourd and the Spatial Bracelet. After it's done, the boss will give you, the Horned Lightning Hawk and the Two-headed Gryphon, a golden pill each, how does that sound?"
"Three golden pills?! Let me try!"
The moment she heard of the golden pills, Guapis eyes beamed and she nodded. The runes on her dragon horn began to shine.
Very quickly, the runes conjured a talisman that was wrapped around the Thunderclap Mantis.
Whoosh!
Next, the Thunderclap Mantis disappeared.
But in the next moment, the Thunderclap Mantis reappeared next to Heifeng, who was licking a chicken drumstick.
When Heifeng saw the Thunderclap Mantis suddenly appear out of nowhere, he was stunned for a bit, then extended the chicken drumstick out to him and said, "Brother Mantis, come, lick!"
"Lick your uncle!"
With the teleportation having failed, the Thunderclap Mantis was not feeling that good. He roared at Heifeng, then once again headed toward the Arcane Amulet Dragon, hoping to give it another try.
After being scolded at for no reason at all, Heifeng could only blink and continue to lick the only chicken drumstick within the Qiankun Gourd while mumbling to himself, "Brother Mantis wants me to lick my uncle? But I don't have an uncle!"
Just as Jiang Feng was trying to think of a way to protect the Ruler of Hakai and the Qiankun Gourd, as well as when the Thunderclap Mantis was looking for a way to leave the Qiankun Gourd, many of the players that heard the server announcement were heading toward the Shifter Sealing Tower.
Especially Qiu Si, Shen Ye, Ling Yun, Yao Qiong, and other players that had beef with Jiang Feng.

Chapter 170: The Archguardian of the Shifters
Weibo and the Official Message Board were in an uproar as they discussed Jiang Feng being bound within the Shifter Sealing Tower.
The entire Message Board was in a mess.
Many that had beef with Jiang Feng headed toward the tower, hoping to slay him to get the rewards.
At this stage, very few players have made their way to level 50. It was still difficult to get a level 50 White-Silver equipment.
At the current stage, one level 50 White-Silver equipment could be priced at around a thousand.
If they were to kill Jiang Feng once, they could get a White-Silver Equipment and 100,000 experience points.
Jiang Feng would be bound within the Shifter Sealing Tower for twenty four hours. He could not use any skills and any items on him. It was useless for him to logout as well.
He had lost two levels after entering the Slaughter status during his run in the Japanese Server. He was currently at level 47, which meant that he could be killed 47 times. 47 times equal 47 White-Silver equipment as well as having a chance of him dropping the Ruler of Hakai and other items on him.
The items that the Inheritor of the Shifters drop would not be anything ordinary. Even one of them could be sold at a high price.
That was why it would cause such an uproar when the server announcement was made.
"Haha! I was killed by the Shifters' Inheritor three times during the Siege of the Ancient City! I can finally get my revenge and then some!"
"Is the Shifters' Inheritor an idiot? The Shifter Sealing Tower is used to seal shifters, yet he ran to it like a moth to the fire. Is he an idiot?"
"I'm getting excited about having the chance to kill the game's number one inheritor. If I could get the Ruler of Hakai and sell it to the Japanese Sever, I could probably sell it for ten million or more."
All the players headed toward the tower had their own ploys.
Some of them even wanted to make Jiang Feng drop the Ruler of Hakai and sell it back to the Japanese Server.
The Ruler of Hakai was a part of the Japanese Server's Primordial Artifact, and it represented the honor of the entire Japanese Server. If they could get it and sell it back, they could easily sell it back for ten million or more.
These players had all been blinded by the profit and advantages they could get. They even had the idea of selling the Ruler of Hakai back to the Japanese Server, and completely forgot that it was the Ruler of Hakai that allowed the players from the Japanese Server to invade them.
Above Shuchuan City, Qiu Si, Shen Ye, and some of the elites from the Myth Group were heading toward the Shifter Sealing Tower on their flying steeds.
When they were on their way, Shen Ye was in a state of elation, "Haha! I never thought that he would fall for something like this! Twenty four hours! That's more than enough to kill him until he has nothing left!"
Qiu Si has fallen by Jiang Feng's hands quite a few times, but he was still being cautious as he said, "Be careful. I don't know why he would be bound within the Shifter Sealing Tower, but I don't think killing him would be an easy task!"
Shen Ye then replied to him, "He can't use any skills and items on him for twenty four hours. What could you be scared of? Are you afraid that the server announcement was fake?"
Qiu Si nodded. "You're right. Hopefully, we can get the gourd that he uses to carry his followers around. My guess is that it's a primordial artifact too."
While Jiang Feng was careful every time he used the Qiankun Gourd, many had discovered the Qiankun Gourd when they saw him fight in streams and videos. And many were interested in the gourd that could collect monsters, including the Divines' Inheritor, Qiu Si!
The game's number one guild, Canaan Guild.
Canaan was also leading a large group of players heading toward the Shifter Sealing Tower. Just like other players, she wanted to kill the Shifters' Inheritor and get the artifacts!
Beep! Beep!
After flying for a while, her friend panel blinked. It was a message from Mu Xi.
Mu Xi, "Canaan, please don't continue down this path. I must remind you not to go to the Shifter Sealing Tower, or you will regret it forever!"
Canaan asked in confusion, "Mu Xi, what do you mean? You know that all the Inheritors have a Divine Artifact and are very powerful. As long as I can get the Ruler of Hakai, the Jingu Stuff, or some other good item from the Shifters' Inheritor, my power would also greatly increase! We no longer have to fear anyone! The Canaan Guild's position as the game's top guild would be even stronger!"
Mu Xi sighed and replied, "Normally, you're quite smart. Have you let the title of being the top in the game go over your head? Do you still know how to analyze the situation?"
Canaan frowned and said, "He killed me so many times, and I can't even kill him once?"
Mu Xi then said, "When you built your base, the Shifters' Inheritor didn't attack you. The Shifters' Inheritor has never actively antagonized you or your guild. Think about it, aren't you the one that has always started it? There is nothing more to be said if you were killed because of that!"
Canaan instantly frowned. "Mu Xi, are we still good sisters? Even if he did not antagonize me, so what if I kill an NPC? Don't tell me you want to have a row with me over some data in a game?!"
Mu Xi then continued, "This game's NPCs also possess intelligence and are almost similar to humans. Some of the NPCs are even smarter than humans. That's fine, you're already lost within your ambition and your quest for power. You're no longer that wise, optimistic, and passionate boss Canaan. Power can change a person it seems. Take good care of yourself."
Ding. System Prompt: Announcement, your guild's assistant guild leader "Mu Xi" has left the guild!
When Canaan heard the system's voice, she was enraged.
Mo Yi and Han Qianqian came next to her. Mo Yi, who was the more introverted of the two, asked her with a calm voice, "Sis Nan, why did Sis Mu Xi leave the guild?"
Canaan then said coldly, "If she wants to leave, then let her leave since she has never contributed anything to the guild anyway. I've paid her back the money that I owed her and even bought her a house! We don't owe each other anything anymore!"
After Canaan Guild's city had been completed, Canaan had earned a lot simply by selling and buying houses. After she knew that Mu Xi had helped cover the difference for the Guild-Building Order, she had paid everything back to Mu Xi and even gave Mu Xi one of the city's biggest houses.
Mo Yi looked at Canaan like he wanted to say something but merely sighed in the end as he chose to remain silent.
Mo Yi was also someone smart, and he could see the situation clearly from an outsider's point of view.
It could be said that without Mu Xi's help, Canaan would never get a Guild-Building Order. Without the Infernals' Inheritor's aid during the siege, Canaan would never become the game's first guild leader.
Once she had completed building the city, her power had surpassed that of Tianxia Gang's Hao Tian and she had won bet the between them
Without any more burden, she began to enjoy her powers and privileges as the top within the game and began to earn a lot from selling and renting houses.
But she did not realize that no matter how smart she was, she was controlled by power and profit.
She could not see through it and was sinking deeper and deeper!
Right after Mu Xi left the guild, a world announcement was made.
Ding. World Announcement: Congratulations to the player "Mu Xi" from the Huaxia Server for class change into the secret class "Archguardian of the Shifters", as she is the second player to class change into a secret class, she has gained 500 World Renown, 50,000gp, and one special item.
"What?!" When Canaan heard the World Announcement, her entire body shuddered for a moment as she gritted her teeth, and she snorted frigidly, "And here I was wondering why she was helping the Shifters' Inheritor and has even left the guild. Her secret class belongs to the Shifter faction! I hope she won't stand in my way! I won't stay my hand just because of our history!"

Chapter 171: The Coming Pain
Within the Qiankun Gourd.
Whoosh!
The Thunderclap Mantis was wrapped in a talisman as it flew away.
Heifeng was lying on his side licking the chicken drumstick when he saw the Thunderclap Mantis fly away. He licked the drumstick again. "Wow~ He is flying again."
Yanhu, who was lying beside him, rolled his eyes at him. "Heifeng, I say, are you sick? It's fine if you eat the drumstick a bite a day, but you've licked it so much that it's lost its color."
Heifeng glanced at Yanhu, then gave him a smile. "Brother Yan, you don't understand this. I don't really want to eat it. I was licking it out of love."
"Ugh..."
When Xiaotian heard what Heifeng had said, he remembered the first time he ate the chicken drumstick. He quickly went to the side to vomit.
Yanhu asked him, "Xiaotian, are you alright?"
Heifeng used his one tiger claw to hold the chicken drumstick and the other tiger claw to scratch himself as he said to Yanhu as if he understood Xiaotian, "Don't worry, Brother Yan. He will get used to it, eventually."
Whoosh.
The Thunderclap Mantis flew away once again.
Heifeng opened his mouth and said, "Wow~ There he goes again!"
After that, he continued licking the drumstick.
The Arcane Amulet Dragon Guapi was so tired that she was visibly showing her weakness.
When she saw the Thunderclap Mantis flying over, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I can't do this anymore. Let me rest for a while."
The Thunderclap Mantis then frowned and said, "Fine, get some rest. Then, remember your power carefully. The Arcane Amulet Dragon is considered to be one of the top tier dragons even amongst the Divine Dragons. If your ancestors could use the runes to appear anywhere they wish to in the blink of an eye, you can too."
Though Guapi was a dragon, and had the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, the Arcane Amulet Dragon, she had just matured recently and was only at rank ten so she was not that proficient in using her natural abilities as she was not taught by the elders of her own race. Some of her skills had not been learned, and she had to discover them slowly.
In order to build Guapi's confidence, he did not want to give her any pressure. The Thunderclap Mantis was cheering for her and even praised her.
Shifter Sealing Tower.
Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu were still bound to the stone sword.
"I will return to my monster form soon. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Without the Dark Shadow mask to shield his status, as soon as any players make their way here they would be able to recognize him for who he was. Therefore, he was ready to return to his monster form.
He was also trying to test if he could escape from the Shifter Binding Lasso by becoming a monster and shrinking his body.
Ling Feiyu understood what Jiang Feng meant, and asked him, "Will the Inheritors revive if they are killed? If the other Inheritors can't be revived after their death, won't your identity be exposed?"
Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile. "It wasn't easy for every race to choose their inheritors. Unlimited revival is also part of the NPC Inheritors' abilities. As for other NPCs, they wouldn't be revived if they were killed!"
When he became the Inheritor, the Shifter Hierophant was sacrificed. He believed that when the other races' Inheritors accepted the inheritance, they must have paid some sort of price.
If they could die easily, then the Inheritor NPCs would be useless as a group of players could easily kill them.
Another thing he learned about the Inheritors' revival came from his chat with Wen Yan. Wen Yan had also told him that he could be revived endlessly, but it came with some limits.
When other players died, they could revive immediately. The Inheritors had a timer.
Of course, now that he was within the Shifter Sealing Tower, he would immediately revive after death due to the effects of the Shifter Binding Lasso. It made it easier for other players to slaughter him.
Ling Feiyu then said with a frigid voice, "Even if you could revive, I won't let them kill you that easily!"
"Hm?"
Jiang Feng was slightly stunned when he heard Ling Feiyu's words. As he could not see Ling Feiyu's face, he could not guess why Ling Feiyu would say something like that.
'Does she like me? I don't think so. She's so beautiful and rich, why would she fall for someone like me? I guess it must be because she is feeling sorry for dragging me into a trap,' Jiang Feng thought to himself.
"Alright, I'm going to remove my polymorph. I hope canceling polymorph would help me remove the binding of the Shifter Binding Lasso!"
Dismissing his polymorph did not need him to use a skill or item, all he needed was to think about it.
Whoosh!
As soon as the polymorph was dismissed, Jiang Feng became a small dog.
When his body became small, the Shifter Binding Lasso tightened as he was about to break through the lasso. It even created a small chain and bound him to the stone sword.
"Argh! Damn it! I hate this Shifter Binding Lasso!"
When Ling Feiyu turned and saw that Jiang Feng had become a small dog, she asked after being astonished, "Aren't you a dragon? Why did you become a dog?"
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Ling Feiyu. "Woof! This is a wolf, alright? Can't you hear the deep howl of a wolf? Is there something wrong with your hearing?"
But Ling Feiyu could not understand his bark.
Looking at Jiang Feng barking loudly, Ling Feiyu smiled at his cuddliness. "Quite cute."
'I'm not cute!'
Jiang Feng was speechless and thought to himself, 'If I had foreseen this I wouldn't have chosen to evolve the wolf's bloodline first.'
In order to increase the ranking of all his other bloodlines to increase his power, he chose to improve the rank of his wolf bloodline first. But what he did not expect was that he was brought here by Ling Feiyu as soon as he had started evolving, and had even fallen into Archmaster Moji's trap helplessly.
'I hope that the Thunderclap Mantis can bring a golden pill out. Once I have taken a golden pill, then perhaps I could break through the lasso's binding when I evolve. Even If I can't break through it, I could use the lottery system to see if I could get something useful that could help me with escaping this. Guapi, work harder and send the Thunderclap Mantis out!'
While he was bound by the Shifter Binding Lasso and could not use any items, feeding him the golden pill should be no problem at all.
Of course, he did not have much faith that it would work. If he could not evolve after taking the golden pill, then he was doomed. He just had to stand there and let others kill him until his level fell to zero.
Once he was killed till he was level 0 and the Shifter Binding Lasso had been removed, he would be sent to a random Starter Village.
Bam! Bam!
Just after he had transformed into his monster form, he could hear footsteps coming from the entrance to the fifth level.
"They have reached us so soon. Looks like Archmaster Moji did something to the first four levels!" When Jiang Feng heard the footsteps, his heart sank.
While it was easy for them to kill all the monsters, it was not easy for them to find the maze's boss. They spent two hours just to reach the fifth level with the help of all of his followers.
He certainly did not expect the players to only take one hour to reach them.
He did not have to think hard to know that the Archmaster Moji had done something.
"Damn it! I didn't think that she would do this to me! I should have killed her when I had the chance! Just you wait, I would one day make you kneel before me!" Jiang Feng thought to himself.
"Someone's coming. Don't get enraged. Once you've entered into Slaughter or Indifference status, it would be even easier to trigger that weakness of yours." Ling Feiyu quickly said into Jiang Feng's ears when a group of players had reached the fifth level.
Jiang Feng nodded. He did not mind if he were to enter the berserk status since it did not have any side effects and could even help him. But once he had entered the Slaughter status, the side effect was huge.
He had never entered the Indifference status and did not know what kind of side effect it had. But by his estimate, the side effect would only be worse than the Slaughter status.
'Come on! I'll remember everyone that has ever touched me this time!' Jiang Feng thought to himself.
At this time, a large group of players had appeared in the fifth level.
But none of the players was someone he knew. They were the players from the bottom of the guild's ranks.
His guess was that these were the players that were based in Shuchuan City. They came here as soon as they could.
"Hm? Why did the Shifters' Inheritor become a dog? Also, why is the game's top beauty Ling Feiyu here as well?" A male wizard by the name of Fa Kuang said curiously when he approached and saw Jiang Feng's form and Ling Feiyu, who was next to him.
A wretched assassin next to him smiled wickedly, "Hehe, who cares. Bros, you've never touched the breasts of the game's top beauty, right? Do you want to try it?"
An archer player stopped him and said, "Are you suicidal? Female players are protected by the system. I bet the moment you touch her breast, you will be instantly killed by the system. We better kill the Shifters' Inheritor and get the Divine Artifacts first. Once we have the Divine Artifacts and sell them off, we can get anything we want!"
"Sure, let's kill the Shifters' Inheritor first!"
After the players had a chat, they did not hesitate and aimed right at Jiang Feng. They did not pay Ling Feiyu much attention, since the Divine Artifacts were much more important to them!
Jiang Feng looked at the players that came for him coldly. As he could not use identify, all he could do was to remember the faces of these players. Once he had escaped this, he would settle the score with all of them!

Chapter 172: Do You Know How Expensive that Arrow was?
Shifter Sealing Tower, Fifth Level.
Around fifty players had gathered in front of Jiang Feng, led by Fa Kuang.
They all took out their weapons and attacked Jiang Feng, who was being bound by the Shifter Binding Lasso.
-1
-1
-452
Miss!
...
But they were shocked when they realized they could not even break through his defense.
Even if they could cause some damage, it was because they had used skills that dealt fixed damage.
Jiang Feng's three current stats were:
HPs: 263,000
Attack: 41,080
Defense: 17,452
For those that had not reached level 50 and changed their class the third time and did not have good equipment, their attacks would most likely hover around 10,000. It was not enough to pierce through his defense.
Roar!
While the players' attacks could not break his defense, he could still feel the full effects of each attack. And their attacks were excruciatingly painful.
"I did not think that the Shifters' Inheritor would have such high defenses. Whatever. Everyone, use forced damage and fixed damage to expend his HPs!"
But these players did not want to give up, and they wanted to use the forced one point of damage and the fixed damage from skills to deplete Jiang Feng's HPs.
To them, it was just a matter of time. But to Jiang Feng, it was a fate worse than death!
When Ling Feiyu saw how much pain Jiang Feng was in, she roared out in anger, "Stop it! Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
Fa Kuang then looked at Ling Feiyu with a sneer, "Retaliation? Do you think a Shifters' Inheritor that has been reduced to zero level would have the power to kill us?"
Ling Feiyu then smiled coldly, "Do you really believe that an Inheritor would be that useless?"
Seeing Ling Feiyu's cold smile, Fa Kuang shuddered as he avoided looking her into the eyes.
He really was afraid that Jiang Feng still had the ability to kill them once he had been reduced to level 0. If that was the case, then they would be dead.
Ling Feiyu continued and said, "Also, remember who were the ones that expelled the Japanese Server players? Who was the one that avenged you? Where is your heart? Is it still in your chest?"
When he heard that, Fa Kuang became enraged and pointed at the bloodied Jiang Feng and roared, "Who asked him to do that?! Who asked him to avenge us?! He just wanted to be a hero! I wanted to be a hero too! Even if I die, I would at least be in the limelight for once! But why can they get those bullshit Inheritor classes? Why can they get those bullshit secret classes and we can't get anything? Let me tell you something. Today, I will step on the Inheritors! Especially the game's number one inheritor!"
With that, Fa Kuang threw a ball of magic energy on Jiang Feng. His fur was singed, and there was only black, and it looked horrifying.
When Ling Feiyu saw that, she became even angrier. Even the blood arteries in her eyes had become visible as she screamed, "You losers that dare not to step beyond your safety zone! And you want to be heroes? I spit on you! You keep on complaining that the world isn't fair, but even if the world gives you all the advantages there are, all of you will still be losers! I'm just using a normal class too! A priest that has no combat capabilities! But I dare say that none of you here can defeat me because all of you are trash!"
Jiang Feng shuddered and raised his head when he heard Ling Feiyu's words despite his pain. His blood-red eyes looked at Ling Feiyu, his eyes filled with complications.
"You b*tch, how dare you! Do you want to die so badly?!"
After being looked down on by Ling Feiyu, Fa Kuang and the other players were enraged and started attacking Ling Feiyu.
"You want to kill me?" Ling Feiyu let out a cold smile as the Shifter Binding Lasso began to fall. As the Jewel of the Snow Soul appeared in her hands, she said, "Die!"
She had been waiting for the moment that the Shifter Binding Lasso would expire. The only reason that someone like her who did not like talking was wasting time talking with Fa Kuang to buy herself more time.
As soon as she escaped, she used the Jewel of the Snow Soul's Freeze skill and froze Fa Kuang. Next, she waved using the Jewel of the Snow Soul in her hand, and two fireballs came out from the Jewel and slammed onto Fa Kuang.
-13,823
-10,234
The two hits were enough to instantly kill Fa Kuang
Fa Kuang was a wizard. Not only did he have low attack, but he also had low HPs. Around 20,000. That was not enough when facing Ling Feiyu.
"Damn, you killed my brother! Brother, let's go! Kill this b*tch!"
When the assassin saw that Fa Kuang had been killed, he was enraged. He commanded the few people behind him and attacked Ling Feiyu.
As for the others from the other guilds, they did not hesitate as well and attacked Ling Feiyu.
To them, Ling Feiyu was someone that was bothersome. Once they had killed her, they could then kill Jiang Feng.
When Ling Feiyu saw a bunch of players rushing toward her, she quickly summoned her Unicorn. With a jump, she rode on her steed.
The Unicorn kicked away two players that were approaching them, and it took Ling Feiyu into the air.
Every level of the Shifter Sealing Tower was ten meters tall. While she was still within the players' attack radius, when she was riding on the Unicorn, she could focus on healing the Unicorn and attack while the Unicorn would focus on avoiding and defending from attacks while using its long-range skill to attack every once in a while.
In that case, the Unicorn and she would be invincible, and they could kill the players one by one.
That was because the players were not that powerful, and even the second batch of players that joined the battle was not that high level too.
Between her and the unicorn, she managed to eliminate the players one by one very quickly.
Whoosh!
At this time, an arrow enchanted with lightning hit the Unicorn's head. The Unicorn's flapping wings stopped as it was paralyzed and crashed into the ground. Ling Feiyu had also fallen from the air and crashed.
Ling Feiyu stood up and looked at the player that fired that arrow with cold eyes.
"Shen Ye!"
The player that shot that arrow was indeed Shen Ye from the Myth Group. Standing next to him were Qiu Si and some of the elites from the Myth Group.
When she saw them, Ling Feiyu grimaced and blocked Jiang Feng subconsciously, stopping them from harming Jiang Feng.
Shen Ye took two steps forward as he held his bow, and said with a faint smile, "Ling Feiyu, I really don't understand. What did the Shifters' Inh... No, this dog, offer you? To the point of you sacrificing your own life?"
Ling Feiyu looked at them coldly and said, "You said that the Shifters' Inheritance is a dog? Then what do you, something that's worse than a dog, have to offer for someone to sacrifice their lives for you? Without the people around you, without your father's wealth, what else do you have?"
"You... Good, very good. You want to protect that animal, right? Then, I will show you how I butcher that dog in front of you!" Shen Ye was enraged by Ling Feiyu's words. He then turned to the other elites next to him and said, "Hold her while I go butcher a dog!"
"Yes!"
These elites were all players that had signed up with him. Naturally, they would listen to his orders and they all rushed toward Ling Feiyu.
As for him, he pulled the string of the bow and shot an arrow at Jiang Feng.
-13,134.
The arrow stabbed into Jiang Feng's head violently, a critical damage came out of Jiang Feng's head. Blood was flowing down from his wound.
Jiang Feng looked at Shen Ye murderously, as if looking at a dead man.
Shen Ye did not know that the arrow had just signed the death warrant for the Myth Group and he himself had made it into Jiang Feng's to-hit list!
Looking at Jiang Feng's murderous eyes, Qiu Si and Shen Ye both shuddered as fear was shown in their eyes.
Shen Ye did not dare release the second arrow that was already nocked to his bow!
"Haha..." Ling Feiyu looked at the arrow on Jiang Feng's head and the murderous intent in his eyes, then she looked at Shen Ye again and sneered, "Shen Ye, do you know how expensive that arrow was?! It was so expensive that it would make your heart skip a beat! It was so expensive that it would make you regret it! It was so expensive that it would make you despair!"

Chapter 173: Mu Xi, Comparable to an Inheritor
Shifter Sealing Tower, fifth level.
Ling Feiyu's words were like blades cutting into Shen Ye's heart.
It was painful, and it made him angry!
Shen Ye gritted his teeth as his handsome face became twisted. "Make my heart skip a beat? Make me regret? Make me despair? Let me see who is the one that would feel all these things today! Kill her!"
Under his orders, all his followers were no longer constraining Ling Feiyu, and all their attacks hit Ling Feiyu directly.
"What are you looking at, you dog?! I'm going to kill you until you're level 0! Let's see how you're going to get your revenge then!"
When Shen Ye saw Jiang Feng staring at him, he became even more enraged. He pulled the bow's string and fired an arrow toward Jiang Feng.
Ling Feiyu was just a priest. She was no match against the elites that were surrounding her, and she only had a few thousand HP left.
When she saw Shen Ye fire an arrow at Jiang Feng, she threw herself toward it and blocked the arrow that was flying toward him
"Don't get mad..."
As soon as Ling Feiyu finished her sentence, her sight was filled with darkness. Her body fell before Jiang Feng, and the Unicorn was automatically transported back into the Pet's space.
"Roar... Shen Ye, just you wait! When the Guild War starts, I'll destroy your guild!" Jiang Feng roared when he saw Ling Feiyu die in front of him.
He was extremely angry, but Ling Feiyu's final words had helped, and he still had one more card left to play. He could not get angry now. Once he had entered Slaughter status, he would be weakened when the status was removed. And if he became weakened, his last card would be a wasted card.
"Shifters' Inheritor! If you must blame something, then blame yourself for being so arrogant even when you're just an NPC! I will kill you until you're level 0!"
After Shen Ye had finished saying that, he waved and had everyone from the Myth Group surround him and attack Jiang Feng.
Ding. System Prompt: You have died. Level -1. As you were killed by a player, your maximum HP has decreased by 5,000, attack by 1,000, and defense by 1,000.
Within one minute, the helpless Jiang Feng was killed due to the attacks of the elites and his level had fallen from level 47 to 46.
After Jiang Feng died, he dropped a few bottles of potions, a few hundred gp, and several pieces of equipment in his Drop Panel, and he was instantly revived again.
'Damn it! I would lose stats if I'm killed by players! Damn it, Thunderclap Mantis, hurry up!'
He had been killed by NPCs, his level had dropped because of failed fusions or because of the Slaughter status. But he had never been killed by players before this. This was the first time he was killed by a group of players, and he was very angry.
"Haha! While he dropped quite a few things, but all of them are just rubbish. But I don't believe that I can't get something nice if I kill him more than forty times. Continue!" Shen Ye picked up the gold and equipment, then ordered his followers to continue.
"Stop!"
Just as the Myth Group was preparing to attack again, a large group of players appeared, including Mu Xi who made it here.
After successfully changing her class, Mu Xi now had a pair of furry fox ears and a white tail.
Mu Xi jumped and landed on top of the stone sword, looking at Shen Ye coldly.
"Mu Xi, the first person to get a secret class. And it's a secret class that belongs to the Shifter faction. Do you think you can beat all of us alone?" Shen Ye raised his head and looked at Mu Xi.
"Who says that I'm alone?" Mu Xi said calmly.
"And me too! I'm the Shifters' Inheritor's fan! I'm going to kill whoever that dares to kill him!'
"Me too! Myth group, you bunch of ungrateful bastards! If it were not because of the Shifters' Inheritor, you would have all died at Mount Jiangjun!"
"All of you are scumbags! You have all lost your humanity! I'm going to beat up whoever that has hurt my Shifters' Inheritor!"
In a short while, hundreds of players came forward and surrounded the seventy men that Shen Ye was leading, all of them screaming at them with righteous fury.
Plop! Plop!
At this time, another bunch of footsteps could be heard. Next, Yao Qiong, Canaan, Ling Yun, Hao Tian, and many from the other guilds all came to the fifth floor of the tower.
While they did not bring many people, all of them were elites that could solo ten other players.
At this moment, the number of people on the fifth level of the tower had reached around five thousand.
When they enter, they would be automatically separated into two groups. Those that were here to help Jiang Feng would stand around him, while those that wanted to kill Jiang Feng would surround them instead.
"I did not think that so many would want to have a bite of this!" Shen Ye said coldly when he saw Canaan and the other guild masters.
Canaan looked at Jiang Feng's level, then said to Shen Ye, "I did not think that guild master Shen Ye would come here so early. Seems like you have taken your first bite?"
"That's right, I've already gotten the Divine Artifact. So I'm not going to join the next round, so please feel free!" Shen Ye smiled and said to the others as he retreated to one side.
Currently, there were plenty of people aiding Jiang Feng. Huaxia Server's first player with the secret class was also here. If they were to fight, they would no doubt lose members. Losing members now would be detrimental in the later stages. He wanted to be the third side that benefits from the clash of the two.
Canaan naturally knew what game Shen Ye was playing so she smiled and said, "Since you've already obtained the Divine Artifact, then there is no need for us to do anything. We'll leave the rest to the others."
And then there was a standoff.
Canaan and Shen Ye's words had moved some of the smaller guilds. Even if there were no Divine Artifacts, the items dropped by the Shifters' Inheritance would be similarly valuable.
"If you won't do it, we'll do it! Let's go, kill them all!"
The guild leader of one of the smaller guilds seemed to have received a text from his friend. He took a look and was momentarily stunned. He was then overcome with joy, and broke the stalemate, and led his three hundred followers toward Jiang Feng.
"Kill em!"
When Mu Xi saw this, a sword appeared in her hands. Her figure flashed and reappeared in front of a few players. She swung her sword and phantasmal images of three fox heads appeared and slammed at the three players.
-30,523
-60,723
-31,975
Three damages, and one of them was a critical hit. All three of them were instantly killed.
Shen then swung her sword again, and two more were instantly killed.
Judging from her extremely fierce attacks, her attack value must be around 40,000.
She had already reached level 49 and had changed her second class into the secret class, including the equipment that Jiang Feng asked Robert to forge for her, her stats were extremely high, so it was not that surprising for her to be able to deal that much damage.
"Thousand Fox Slash!"
Next, she yelled out coldly as her body quickly flashed. It was as if there were a dozen foxes zooming through the group of players. And every time such a figure appeared, a player would be killed.
Qiu Si, Shen Ye, Yao Qiong, Ling Yun, Canaan, Hao Tian, and the others that were standing aside did not expect the secret class to be so powerful, capable of raising the attack to 40,000.
The ones that were the most surprised were Qiu Si and Yao Qiong. Both of their attacks had reached 40,000. They did not expect a secret class's power to be comparable with an Inheritor class.
"She has a set of level 45 Yellow-Gold equipment on her. Only by equipping a full set of Yellow-Gold equipment would she have such high stats. Let's all do this together. Whoever has the faster hand takes the equipment!"
When Yao Qiong saw that Mu Xi had killed around sixty players in the blink of an eye, she could not watch on anymore. As Archmaster Moji had given her a quest, she did not want to delay this any further. If something were to happen, then the items that Archmaster Moji had promised her would be gone.
With that, many Infernal Soldiers appeared next to her and they all rushed toward Mu Xi.
When the members from the other guild heard that Mu Xi had a set of level 45 yellow-gold equipment, they all become greedy and attacked her.
Shen Ye and Qiu Si looked at each other and attacked as well.
"I won't allow you to harm the Shifters' Inheritor! Kill them!"
"You heartless bastards! I'll take on all of you!"
"If I could change my faction, I don't want to be part of the Divine or Infernal faction anymore! What a disgrace!"
The players that were protecting him all reacted by blocking the attacks from all the different guilds.
Unfortunately, even if they were elites, it was impossible for them to handle the joint attack of three thousand elites. The result was a one-sided slaughter!
"Roar! Go! Run! Forget about me!"
Seeing that so many innocent people had died for him, he almost could not suppress his anger any longer.
Just as he was about to enter the Berserk status, he noticed that the Spatial Bracelet on his left foot had begun to release a soft light. Seeing that, he became anxious and excited.

Chapter 174: Shifter Emperor's Flag
Within the Qiankun Gourd.
The Arcane Amulet Dragon Guapi took a deep breath, and said to the Thunderclap Mantis who was already on the verge of going berserk from his anxiety, "I have learned how to draw the runes that would allow you to warp through space. I can do it this time!"
"Let's hope so."
Even the Thunderclap Mantis was getting a bit numb.
"Open!"
Guapi did not say anything else as the runes within her horn began to spin. A few seconds later, a light shot toward the top of the head of the Thunderclap Mantis.
Next, a rune appeared right on top of the Thunderclap Mantis's head.
The rune was a circle, and its pattern was similar to that of the teleportation circle. However, it was far more complicated than a Teleportation Circle. This was one of the Arcane Amulet Dragon's abilities, Teleport. The more powerful the dragon was, the further it could teleport. Guapi's power could only allow her to teleport at most ten meters away.
At this time, the Teleport Rune was emitting a soft light and suction, enveloping the Thunderclap Mantis as it left the Qiankun Gourd.
When Jiang Feng saw that the players that were helping him had almost been completely slain, he noticed that the Spatial Bracelet was letting out a soft glow, and it made him excited.
Whoosh!
As the Spatial Bracelet's light became even brighter, it shot out a light. And at the next moment, the Thunderclap Mantis had appeared beside him.
When Shen Ye saw the Thunderclap Mantis that appeared next to Jiang Feng, he was terrified. He quickly ordered his followers with a loud cry, "No! Stop that mantis!"
As soon as he had said that some of the elites from other guilds as well as his own followers all attacked the Thunderclap Mantis.
Seeing so many players attacking it, it snorted coldly and whipped its scorpion tail and two of the players were immediately struck away.
Its insectoid wings behind him fluttered, and he appeared right in front of Jiang Feng.
"Boss, the golden pill!"
The Thunderclap Mantis took out the Evolution Pill and put it into Jiang Feng's mouth.
"Roar!"
As he swallowed the Evolution Pill, Jiang Feng let out a roar.
Whoosh!
The Evolution Pill was not considered a skill, and it also was not considered as an item on him, so the Shifter Binding Lasso did not react against it. In the next moment, a burst of flames surrounded him, and it quickly formed and hardened into a flaming cocoon.
While others could not see him when he was using Transmute Monster, others could still see him when he was evolving.
When he saw the fire cocoon on him, Shen Ye remembered the time at Greenwind Ridge, Imperial Dragon City. He knew that Jiang Feng was evolving.
He did not know if Jiang Feng could escape from the Shifter Binding Lasso after his evolution, but if he did escape from his binding, then the ones that would die would undoubtedly be them.
When that thought crossed his mind, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly told everyone, "The Shifters' Inheritor is evolving! Everyone, stop him!"
Once they heard Shen Ye's words, all the guild leaders that were there stuttered for a split second. Qiu Si and Yao Qiong were particularly worried and immediately rushed toward the flaming cocoon, attacking it.
Whoosh!
The Thunderclap Mantis's pair of sickles slashed in the air, creating a screeching sound, and it stood next to the fire cocoon.
Using a positioning skill, Mu Xi was also standing next to the Thunderclap Mantis, preparing to aid the Thunderclap Mantis to reduce Jiang Feng's pressure.
"Kill them!"
When Shen Ye saw the Thunderclap Mantis and Mu Xi blocking in front of the fire cocoon, he gritted his teeth and shouted out an order, and then attacked them both.
This time, Jiang Feng chose to evolve his monkey bloodline.
He endured the searing pain as he remained within the cocoon.
But compared to being slain by the players, the familiar pain of being burned by the fire made him feel safer.
While Mu Xi was extremely powerful, under the joint assault of Qiu Si and Yao Qiong, she did not stand a chance. Her body fell in front of the fire cocoon.
Only the Thunderclap Mantis, whose level had already reached level 50 and its HP reaching 60,000, was still holding up the defense.
'Hm? It seems that the Shifter Binding Lasso stops working on me when I'm in the cocoon! I should draw a lottery now!'
As his body slowly changed within the fire cocoon, he quickly opened the Monster Transmutation System and saw that his lottery chance had turned from zero to two. He quickly used the last minute he had left to draw the lottery.
The reason he had to do this while he was still in the cocoon was that he was worried that if his evolution was successful, the Shifter Binding Lasso would even limit the Monster Transmutation System's lottery system.
As the lottery wheel spun, he chose to double it and started the lottery. The indicator began to spin.
'Come on! Give me two things that can help me! Please!'
As the indicator spun, Jiang Feng took out the Ruler of Hakai to increase his Luck while he prayed in his heart.
After a dozen seconds, the indicator finally stopped at the special category. A crystal treasure chest and a prismatic chest appeared in front of him.
'Haha! Two high-level treasure chests! Hopefully, they contain items that could help me out!'
When he saw the color of the two chests, he was overjoyed and quickly opened the two treasure chests.
The crystal treasure chest contained a scroll, while the prismatic chest contained a flag with nine three-legged golden crows.
Slough off the Cicada's Golden Shell Skill Scroll: Immortal Item
Forcefully remove all negative status effects and escape from any traps, including certain barriers. After use, level becomes 0. All stats remain unchanged. Teleported into a random Starter Village after half an hour. Cannot gain any experience points within this duration.
"Haha! This is the skill that I want! Looks like if I were equipped with the Ruler of Hakai during lottery, the possibility of me getting good items would increase tremendously!" Jiang Feng laughed excitedly when he saw the scroll.
Despite the fact that using the Slough Off the Cicada's Golden Shell scroll would make his level drop to zero, all his stats would remain unchanged. This was actually good for him, much better than his stats dropping from being killed by the players.
Not to mention that when it said that his stats would remain unchanged, it meant that all the attribute points that he spent would not be cleared. The points that he had invested in Luck and Insight would remain.
To him, this would be a great advantage. It would be very easy for him to level back up from zero, and he could use this chance to get more stat points.
Not only that, his power would not be reduced as well. He could go and find high-level monsters near the Starter Village easily and fuse with them. He did not have to worry about losing levels anymore.
The Shifter Emperor's Flag: Divine Level Item
All monsters within fifty meters of the flag will have their stats increased by 30%.
Summon: Summons the Shifter Hierophant, Archguardian of the Shifter, and five other followers. Cooldown of 1 hour.
Command: By waving the flag and chanting, it can be used to command all monsters within 5km that are not of Spiritual Rank, Immortal Rank, Divine Rank, or above. Duration of 10 minutes. Cooldown of 24 hours.
Binding: May bind an enemy for 5 minutes. The bound player or Inheritor would revive on the spot. Cooldown of 24 hours.
Prerequisite: Inheritor of the Shifters
"After the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor and the Shifter Emperor Order, here comes another Shifters' Inheritor's unique equipment. The stats that it has and the three skills are too overpowered! I could use them to solo!"
Seeing the Shifter Emperor's Flag's stats. Jiang Feng was so excited that he was almost drooling.
Bang!
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful!
At this time, the fire cocoon burst open. He became a monkey that could stand straight and looked something like Sun Wukong.
Dang!
When he saw that the Shifter Binding Lasso was going to bind him again, he quickly took out the Slough off the Cicada's Golden Shell skill scroll and used it!
Next, he managed to get his body off the Shifter Binding Lasso, and the Shifter Binding Lasso no longer made any moves, and his level turned to zero.
When Shen Ye and his party finally managed to slay the Thunderclap Mantis, they saw the fire cocoon burst open.
Next, a monkey holding a flag appeared in front of them. When they saw him not bound by the stone sword, they were all shocked.
However, when they saw that his level was zero, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Feng took out the Divine Speech Pill that Qiu Si gave to him as he scanned his surroundings with his blood-red eyes, and said to all of them coldly, "You will all die!"
Shen Ye sneered, "I didn't expect you to be able to escape the Shifter Binding Lasso. But so what if you managed to escape? What kind of price have you paid? You're only level 0 now, and you're still that arrogant?"
Jiang Feng looked at Shen Ye who was mocking him, and he extended his palm as a Newbie Sword appeared in his hand.
He looked at Shen Ye cold then said to him calmly, "Level 0? Even if I'm level 0 I still have the power to beat you back to level 0!"
"Stop boasting! Kill him, everyone!" Shen ye snorted and pulled his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng merely shifted, and he had already dodged Shen Ye's attack.
"I will show you the true power of the Shifters' Inheritor! Shifters from all directions, heed my call!" Jiang Feng smiled coldly, and waved the flag in his hand, and used the Command skill.
Boom...
Next, the entire Shifter Sealing Tower began to shake. All the territory kings and normal monsters from above the fifth level were making their way to the fifth level.
Level 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the tower were all monsters of level 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s respectively.
And above the ninth level, there were even some level 100 monsters. There were even a few Territory Kings, and it was also considered to be the most dangerous place within the Shifter Sealing Tower.
And under the command of the Shifter Emperor Flag, all of these monsters were running toward where Jiang Feng was to support him.

Chapter 175: You Should Not Have Provoked Me!
Shifter Sealing Tower, the fifth level.
The Shifter Emperor's Flag was raised and a voice called out, "Shifters from all directions, heed my call!"
Next, the entire tower began to shake as the monsters all converged on the fifth floor to come and support Jiang Feng.
When they heard the commotion, everyone felt their hearts shake and their faces paled.
Jiang Feng put away the Thunderclap Mantis's body. He then took out the Qiankun Gourd and summoned all his followers from within.
Heifeng, Yanhu, Guapi, and all his followers stood behind Jiang Feng.
"Run!"
When Shen Ye saw the sixty bosses behind Jiang Feng, there was fear in his eyes. He shouted, and quickly retreated toward the fifth level's door.
"Roar!"
At this time, monsters started pouring out from the door and blocked Shen Ye's path.
These monsters were all of a very high level. The lowest among them was level 50, while the highest was at 100. There was even one level 100 boss, the Earth Dragon Beast. It was a terrifying formation.
"This..."
Looking at the large group of monsters, Shen Ye was scared to the point of taking multiple steps back.
These were the monsters from within the tower that Jiang Feng had summoned using the Shifter Emperor's Flag Summon skill.
He had to thank Archmaster Moji for these monsters to be able to come and support him.
If it were not because Archmaster Moji kept the door to the fifth level open, these monsters would not be able to come in.
While the territory kings among the monsters had the key to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth level, they did not have the keys to the fifth level. Even if they did come down, they would not be able to enter the fifth level.
Archmaster Moji had originally planned to have the players kill him until he was level 0. However, she was worried that if the door were closed, the players would get paranoid, that was why she had the door to the fifth level remain open.
And that was also the reason why the Shifter Emperor's Flag could be used properly.
"Guild Master Shen Ye, didn't you say that you wanted to kill me until I am level 0? Why are you leaving so soon?" Jiang Feng said as he gave his monkey head a pat, then said coldly to him, "The arrow you fired earlier was quite accurate!"
After hearing Jiang Feng's mockery, Shen Ye became quite angry. He no longer had the arrogance he had when he entered the tower, and instead could only stare at Jiang Feng furiously.
Surprisingly, Yao Qiong was the one that stood up to him. "Shifters' Inheritor! Let us leave! All of us here are Huaxia server's core members! We have already fallen behind the American Server, if we lose even more..."
"Scram!" Jiang Feng cursed at her angrily.
"You looked like you were on drugs when you came over to kill me! And now when you're going to get killed, you have suddenly become the avatar of justice?! Do you even know how nauseating you are?!"
Jiang Feng cursed at Yao QIong.
"You... I don't know why the game chose you to be the Shifters' Inheritor! You are corrupting the..."
"Corrupt?! Have you looked at a mirror lately? It is because of players like you that the Huaxia server is being left behind," Jiang Feng once again interrupted Yao Qiong. "Don't think you can be so arrogant when you have money and power! Don't think that you're the only ones that are right and everyone else is wrong! Let me be straight with you! Once the Guild War begins, the first ones that I am going to clean up are guilds like yours, and let those who are willing to develop Huaxia Server to gain power!"
"What.. what do you mean?" Canaan asked in a calm voice despite already panicking inside.
"What do I mean? I mean that all your guilds no longer deserve to exist! All of you will need to restart from the ground up!" Jiang Feng gave them all a cold smile.
"Such arrogance! Do you think you're still our match without these level 100 monsters?" Ling Yun said, "Come fight me solo if you dare!"
"Solo?" Jiang Feng then turned to Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotian, he wants to fight solo. Kill him!"
"Howl! Alright!"
Xiaotian gnawed at the giant blade in his mouth and attacked Ling Yun.
Yao Qiong then said, "Let's go, everyone! As long as we can kill the Shifters' Inheritor, all the monsters he summoned would leave on their own!"
After Yao Qiong finished saying so, she then rushed toward Jiang Feng. Next, Qiu Si, Canaan, and Shen Ye all attacked Jiang Feng.
When Hao Tian heard what Jiang Feng had to say, he looked at Canaan, "Canaan, please! Don't be so obsessed with this anymore! Let's leave together!'
Canaan turned and looked at him, then said in a wintry tone, "Coward, don't get in my way!"
"You've changed!"
A tear formed at the edge of his eyes, and Hao Tian could only shake his head in the end.
Ding. Server Announcement: Announcement, Tianxia Gang is now disbanded. Tianxia City is now under the System's control. If the player Hao Tian wishes to rebuild his guild, he will need to begin a new siege. If the siege is successful, the base shall be returned to him!
When she heard that the Tianxia Gang had been disbanded, Canaan winced momentarily, but then headed toward Jiang Feng immediately afterward.
Hao Tian looked at Canaan and sighed. He then removed all his equipment that increased his HP, and asked the elites that were still loyal to him, "Brothers, kill me! We will begin anew!"
Hao Tian's followers understood him well. So when they saw that Hao Tian was filled with vigor and smiling brightly like the sun, they knew.
Hao Tian was no longer the man that lived for Canaan. When he had lost the bet, he should have let it go. But it was not too late to let go now.
"Inheritor of the Shifters, we owe you one!"
Hao Tian's followers yelled at Jiang Feng, then all of their attacks landed on Hao Tian, slaying him.
Afterward, all of Haotian's guild members began attacking each other and died, turning into white light and disappearing.
When Jiang Feng, who was in combat, saw this, he narrowed his eyes.
In truth, he had not crossed paths with Hao Tian. He did not know what kind of man he was, but when he saw his smile, he knew. He was not someone that would live and die for mere profit. His guess was that Hao Tian wanted to win Canaan's heart, and that forced him to do all the things that he did.
Building a guild so that he could win over Canaan, and take her as his wife. The siege was to win her heart over and to make a good impression.
The conversation between Jiang Feng and Yao Qiong had woken him up and made him understand that in all of this, the Shifters' Inheritor had always been the one on the receiving end. They were the ones that forced themselves into a dead end, and he himself had been manipulated by his own emotions.
With the disbandment of the Tianxia Gang, Shen Ye and Yao Qiong's pressure had increased exponentially.
After killing a dozen players, Jiang Feng no longer participated in the battle actively. He simply waved the Shifter Emperor's flag, and several level 100 monsters came out and curb stomped over the players.
As for Jiang Feng, he used Blink and blinked over next to Shen Ye. "Binding!"
He waved the Shifter Emperor's Flag one more time, and a chain appeared from the Shifter Emperor Flag and tied Shen Ye up.
"Didn't you say you wanted to butcher a dog? Let me teach you today on how a dog is butchered!"
As he said that, he took out the Newbie Sword and used his Kill skill, and violently hacked at Shen Ye's neck.
-36,234
While he could not equip the Jingu Staff because of his level, but using his skill, he could still deal very high damage. He instantly killed Shen Ye, who did not have much remaining HP in the first place.
After Shen Ye died, he was revived on the spot.
He did not give him the chance to log out and he ate a Poisonous Body Pill. He gave him another hack with his sword. "This one is for Ling Feiyu!"
"This one is for Mu Xi!"
"This one is for the Thunderclap Mantis!"
"This one is for all the innocent people you killed!"
Looking at his level dropping one by one, Shen Ye was filled with regret.
Even if he wanted to log out, he could not because he did not have enough time to use the force log out command. The effect from the Poisonous Body Pill also caused him to not be able to log out.
And he could not log out while he was dead as well
He was hacked forty nine times until his level became zero.
Jiang Feng picked up the items that were dropped on the ground and took them all.
"Gone... Everything's gone..."
Shen Ye mumbled as he looked ahead with a blank stare and a pale face, his level had returned to zero.
Whoosh!
When the effects of the Poisonous Body Pill had been removed, there was a blast of light, and he was forced to log out.
Qiu Si was fighting several monsters of around level 90, and could not come over to support Shen Ye. When he saw that Shen Ye had been killed to the point where he was forced to log out, he roared out angrily, "Shifters' Inheritor! You are too out of line!"
"Out of line? And you didn't feel that you're out of line when you're here to kill me?" Jiang Feng smiled coldly and attacked Qiu Si. "All of you started this! You shouldn't have provoked me!"

Chapter 176: The Shifter Sealing Tower Incident
The Divines' Inheritor, Qiu Si, had been dragged to the ground by a few level 90 monsters and one level 90 boss. He could not afford to divide his attention even for a moment.
He was under so much pressure that he had even summoned the Divine Dragon Guards.
Unfortunately, the power of a level 90 boss was not something that the Divine Dragon Guards could handle.
Under the pincer attack of a group of monsters, even the Divine Dragon Guards began to have casualties.
Jiang Feng attacked at this time. He swung the Newbie Sword in his hand and used High-Speed Movement, appearing next to Qiu Si. He stabbed him with the sword, and then used Tiger Howl on him, killing him instantly.
He landed on where Qiu Si was killed and looked at the three Divine Speech Pills and the two level 40 Yellow-Gold Equipment, and he accepted them all with a smile.
"Kill them all!"
After killing Qiu Si, all the monsters and his followers rushed toward the remaining players as per his order.
Yao Qiong was surrounded by a level 100 rank 15 boss, the Earth Dragon Beast, and several level 100 Earth Dragon Beasts. She had already lost many of her Infernal Soldiers. She lost her focus for an instant and was tail slapped by the Earth Dragon Beast boss, and she slammed into the wall. 60,000 damage floated out from her head, killing her instantly!
After the Divines' Inheritors and the Infernals' Inheritors had been killed, the last few remaining elites were easy to deal with.
A tired Canaan looked at the corpses on the floor as she herself was painted in blood. She stood in the middle of it all stupefied, mumbling to herself, "How did it come to this..."
In the next moment, a giant monster's palm came from the air and slammed her, killing her instantly as blood was smeared on the floor.
Very quickly, there were no more players within the fifth level of the Shifter Sealing Tower, only a group of monsters.
He looked at the Shifter Emperor's Flag command skill duration and realized that there was less than one minute left.
He put away all his followers, then came in front of the Earth Dragon Beast boss, and said to it, "I'm so sorry, bro. But in order to restore the Shifters, become a part of my body!"
"Transmute Monster, Fuse!"
With that, he walked over to the Earth Dragon Beast boss that would obey his every command and stood by its side and used the fusion skill.
Next, a giant cauldron appeared out of nowhere and covered both him and the Earth Dragon Beast and began to spin.
The fusion this time was extremely slow, perhaps it was because the Earth Dragon Beast boss's level was too high.
In truth, when the Earth Dragon Beast boss appeared in the fifth level of the tower, he had already thought of fusing with the Earth Dragon Beast boss. Since the Earth Dragon Beast was also considered part of the Dragon tribe, their dragon bloodline was very strong, and could greatly increase his Dragon bloodline.
After half an hour, his body had finally fused with the Earth Dragon Beast boss, and he was fused together with it.
Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Dragon bloodline purity had reached 99%.
After he had successfully fused, his body once again appeared within the Shifter Sealing Tower. However, a white light immediately enveloped him, and he himself turned into a bright white light and disappeared, teleported into a random starter village.
What happened during the Shifter Sealing Tower incident was quickly being spread around.
The post that made the headlines was posted by the game's Know-it-All.
There was even a video, and judging from the angle, the person that was shooting the video must have been invisible as he hid at the corner of the fifth level.
"Haha! Isn't the Know-it-All's wife going to give birth soon? How did he get his hands on this so quickly? But this is some great stuff!"
"I know, right? I was originally planning to give it a go too, but when I realized that he didn't do anything to me and even expelled the players from the Japanese Server, I didn't go in the end. But it looks like this time the Shifters' Inheritor is going to become very popular now since everyone that went there ended up dead!"
"I actually want to know why Tianxia Gang disbanded. Tianxia Gang isn't bad at all! They're not arrogant, don't bully the newbies, not sure what happened to have caused them to disband. If it was because of the Shifters' Inheritor, then he crossed the line."
"Nah, don't think that's possible. Didn't you hear what Hao Tian's bro "Shengling Shouwang" said in the video? They owe the Shifters' Inheritor one, which meant that it probably had nothing to do with him!"
As the entire incident's aftermath was still developing, everyone and all the guilds that had joined the incident remained silent. No one said anything about it.
In these posts, Shen Ye was the one that was most talked about.
Shen Ye had his levels reduced to zero by the Shifters' Inheritor. It was a nightmare. If a player did not have the grit, he or she would have either deleted the account or stopped playing the game.
Even then, it could be seen from the video that Shen Ye's condition was not that good. It was quite a devastating blow to him.
Other than these, many other players were also saying Xingyu Guild was fortunate enough to not be a part of this.
Su Xingyu and her in-game husband Bai Yi did not join the quest to kill Jiang Feng.
Their guess was that the two went for their honeymoon and managed to avert from heading straight into the disaster.
Moon Island, next to a clear and wavy lake.
The beautiful Su Xingyu lay in the arms of the handsome and classy Bai Yi.
"Bai Yi, if it weren't because we're on honeymoon, do you think I will go and kill the Shifters' Inheritor?" Su Xingyu said quietly as she looked at the fireflies buzzing on top of the face of the river.
Bai Yi shook his head. "No, I would have stopped you."
Su Xingyu gave him a smile, "Just like when you stopped me from going to the Siege of the Ancient City?"
Bai Yi nodded. "But in the end, you did join the Siege of the Ancient City of the Shifter's Emperor. However, that was because it was a joint effort by all the guilds. If you didn't go, the other guilds wouldn't have let you off the hook. Also, I was just giving a suggestion back then, and I didn't really try to stop you. But this time, the nature of the incident is completely different. The Inheritor of the Shifters was in trouble. If you were to go and kill him, that would be like kicking a man when he is down. And that's going over the line."
"Teehee, I know you don't like to fight, but you're quite clear on how things are going currently. Why don't you explain it to me?" Su Xingyu said.
"Things will go quiet for a while for the time being. However, when the guild war begins, only then will things turn chaotic. From what I know about the Shifters' Inheritor's temper, all the guilds that have offended him are going to have a bad time. We are going to have a new landscape in terms of influence in the game. So, during this time, all we need to do is to enjoy it. The others can take care of the guild, and we can go back after some time." Bai Yi said calmly as he held Su Xingyu tightly, his eyes filled with devotion and adoration.
Canaan City, Steward's Residence.
Canaan was walking around in a circle in front of a giant table, and she kept on mumbling, "What should I do? Once the Guild War begins, the Shifters' Inheritor will no doubt attack our guild, and that would be the end of everything. No, I have to find a way to solve this. The Ancient City needed money to build the city... That's right, I can give him money!"
Mo Yi stood up. "Cousin, is the guild really that important? You have the money, and you won the bet, why did you still go to provoke the Shifters' Inheritor?"
Canaan spoke to Mo Yi in a serious tone. "When we're in the guild, don't call me cousin. Call me guild master!"
Han Qianqian said timidly, "Guild master, maybe we can go apologize once the Shifters' Inheritor is out from the Starter Village?"
Canaan nodded and said, "Right, he's just an NPC. Everything would be fine if we apologize."
Canaan was completely confused and was unlike the wise and intelligent Canaan that Jiang Feng had first met.
"Sis, I thought that Hao Tian was really just some rich princeling. But it looks like the things that we know about him aren't true and are just rumors. We can see that he's not a bad man from his actions, especially him disbanding the Tianxia Gang. This game could really make us lose our ways, but I never thought that my smart and wise elder sister would get addicted and lose herself in this game of power. I hope you can find yourself again and cherish what you have."
Mo Yi finally exploded and started to vent out loudly to Canaan. He then turned and left.
When she turned and saw Mo Yi leaving, Canaan frowned as her eyes were filled with doubt. She asked herself deep down, 'Was I really wrong?'

Chapter 177: The Fuxi Zither
Lihuo Village!
One of the many starter villages in Divine Dominion.
There were still some new players that were in this starter village.
These newbie players were mostly players that bought their game terminal from someone else.
While the official game terminals had been sold out, a small number of players had decided to stop playing for whatever reason.
Some of them also bought the terminals just to be a tourist. Once the casket-style terminal was available, they sold their game terminals to other people.
That was why there was still a small group of newbies in the game.
At a level 5 Wild Boar monster territory, a cute girl holding a zither around the age of eighteen was being surrounded by two male players.
The girl's ID was called "Xiao Yatou."
The other player was called "Im A Chicken" while the other was called "I'm A Duck". Both of them were most probably together.
I'm A Chicken said to Xiao Yatou, "Little girl, can you lend us your Zither to take a look? We'll give it back to you once I've taken a look."
Xiao Yatou sneered at the two and said, "You think I'm a three-year-old kid? Even if you kill me, I won't give it to you!"
I'm A Chicken narrowed his eyes and looked at her rascally. "There's only us in this starter village. If you don't give it to me, trust me, I'm going to make sure that you'll never leave this village."
Xiao Yatou said in a boastful manner, "Come on, then! Show me what you've got!"
"You wanna die that badly?!"
I'm A Chicken took out a big blade and slashed toward Xiao Yatou.
Whoosh!
Miss!
At this time, a monkey spawned right in between I'm A Chicken and Xiao Yatou. I'm A Chicken's attack landed on the monkey, but it did not cause any damage at all.
"Hm? Why did a wild monkey spawn here? It looks like Sun Wukong... Do all the monkeys in this game look like this?" I'm A Chicken mumbled to himself as he looked at the monkey in front of him.
After Jiang Feng's level had been reduced to zero, he was teleported into Lihuo village's monster territory. As soon as he appeared, someone had hacked him with a blade to the point where he had to grit his teeth.
He looked at the man that attacked him, frowned, raised his monkey paw, and smacked him into the sky.
-41,234
"Pfft... You... you..."
When I'm A Duck saw that his good friend I'm A Chicken had been slapped to death by a wild monkey, he took in a breath of cold air and pointed at Jiang Feng, terrified and could not form a complete sentence.
"Scram!"
Jiang Feng said to I'm A Duck.
"You.. you can speak?!"
"Scram!"
Seeing Jiang Feng's angry look, I'm A Duck turned tail and ran due to fright and did not dare to say anything else.
After he had driven away the two players, Jiang Feng checked his current status.
His level had gone down to zero, but his stats were not reduced at all. However, all his equipment had been placed into the Spatial Bracelet.
"I should fuse with some monsters and their bloodlines, and then evolve afterward," Jiang Feng mumbled as he looked at his stats. "Once I've fused with all the available bloodlines around the starter village, I'll leave when I'm level 10."
Just when Jiang Feng was thinking of what he was going to do next, Xiao Yatou jumped in front of Jiang Feng and extended her palm to him and said to him delightfully, "Wow! You're the Inheritor of the Shifters! Haha, to think that I can actually meet you! This is great! Can I have your signature, please?!"
The reason that she knew Jiang Feng's identity was because she had just checked Jiang Feng's status.
Jiang Feng's level, for the time being, was 0. Anyone could check his status. However, as he was in his monster form, the name that was shown was "Rank 2 Monkey Infant," and his class as the Shifters' Inheritor.
As for his Jiang Feng's ID, he was no longer in the level leaderboard because he had lost two levels after going to the Japanese Server. Other than his friends, no one knew that his level had dropped to zero. His ranking on the other leaderboard was temporarily hidden by using the Slough off the Cicada's Golden Shell scroll. Therefore, no one would realize that he had dropped to level 0.
Of course, Mu Xi and Nangong Tiaotiao had yet to ask him about it. Maybe because they had not browsed their Friends list and had not discovered it yet.
The thing that he was currently feeling confused about the most was that he had chosen to evolve into a monkey infant but he was the size of a full-grown monkey.
He was already quite confused when he was in the Shifter Sealing Tower.
However, he would not dwell on things that he could not understand. If he could not find out anything about it, then he would just let it go. Since it was not exactly bad for him.
He then turned his attention to the young lady in front of him that was giving him a bright smile. He looked at her basic information, then his eyes focused on a zither that was almost the same size as her, and exclaimed in surprise, "You're... Holy, the Fuxi Zither!"
Other than the Qiankun Gourd that was part of the Lianyao Flask, this was his second time seeing a Primordial Artifact in the Starter Village!!
The Zither was very special. The state of the country and society was carved on it. On the zither's left-hand side was the carvings of a star map while the right-hand side was a Bagua carving. It looked very unique, and that was why he was attracted by the zither.
Xiao Yatou blinked and held the Fuxi Zither in her arms tightly and looked at Jiang Feng carefully. "Don't tell me you're after my zither too?"
When he heard Xiao Yatou's words, Jiang Feng smiled as he understood why the two players had attacked him.
His guess was that they wanted to kill Xiao Yatou so that she would drop the Fuxi Zither. When he suddenly appeared, the attacks fell on him instead.
Fuxi Zither: One of Ten Primordial Artifacts (Broken)
Introduction: The Fuxi Zither. Originally built by the Human Sovereign Fuxi. It had mysterious powers. During the Great Divine-Infernal Wars 10,000 years ago, its six strings were broken and lost during the Great War. Only the support strings were left.

Prerequisite: Xiao Yatou (If unable to find the second zither string within 3 months, it shall become an item without an owner.)
'That's so overpowered! All of its skills are area buffs, and this is when it's still broken! If it were in its perfect form, won't it be even more overpowered? How did she get her hands on it?!' Jiang Feng was shocked when he saw the Fuxi Zither's stats.
If someone were to give Xiao Yatou a group of fully-equipped high-level players, she could easily steamroll everything. Even he would not be her match.
"I have no wish to steal your zither, not to mention, it's currently bound to you. No one can steal it!" Jiang Feng spoke to her using his monkey mouth when he saw Xiao Yatou being so cautious around him.
However, he was instead thinking of pulling Xiao Yatou to join his faction of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
From the way she talked, he knew that Xiao Yatou knew about him and probably adored him. If he could get a Shifter Spirit Stone, he could easily recruit her to the Shifter faction.
When she heard what Jiang Feng had said, she giggled, "Teehee, I knew that the Shifters' Inheritor wouldn't steal my zither. Oh, right, weren't you level 47? Why did you appear here in the Starter Village?"
"It's complicated, but now I..."
Rumble!
Jiang Feng was just about to explain himself when there was a loud rumble coming from a mountain range nearby. Suddenly, the entire mountain range felt like it was on fire, and the entire sky became blazing red.

Chapter 178: A Fiery Behemoth
Lihuo Village.
Rumble!
The mountain range to the west of Lihuo Village shook even more violently.
The flames had already spread, and spouts of blazing fire burst into the clouds. Even the entire sky had been covered in red by their lights.
Jiang Feng looked at the scene with astonishment, and said, "What's going on? Did a volcano erupt?"
Boom!
Another rumble and an entire mountain peak exploded as lava burst forth from within it and gushed hundreds of meters into the sky. It looked even brighter and more magnificent than fireworks.
"Here it comes again!"
When Xiao Yatou saw this, she did not feel that it was strange at all, as if she had already gotten used to it.
Jiang Feng then looked at Xiao Yatou inquisitively. "Does this commonly happen?"
Xiao Yatou nodded and said, "Yes. Since I've started playing the game, the volcano would explode every day, and it gets stronger day by day. If this weren't a game, I would have run a long time ago."
If something unexpected was happening, there must be a cause!
Jiang Feng did not believe that this was something normal. If it were, then the way the volcano erupts should be quite calm, and the strength of its explosion should be the same. It would not be like how Xiao Yaotou described it, getting stronger and stronger.
Especially if the game designers only wanted to show the special effects in the game, there was no need for them to put so much effort into it.
If that was not something normal, then there must be something else at work. Perhaps, there might even be treasures here.
When that thought crossed his mind, he suddenly remembered something and quickly took out the Divine Fate Compass.
"Shen Luo, search around this area if there's any treasure."
Shen Luo nodded and closed her eyes as the compass began to turn.
Very quickly, Shen Luo opened her eyes and said to Jiang Feng, "There is a Donghuang Bell fragment at that volcano that is erupting. There is also another treasure there, and both of them are together."
'Treasures! Just as I thought!'
Jiang Feng was overjoyed.
After Shen Luo had finished saying that, she disappeared and two coordinates appeared on the compass.
"Idol, what's this? It can tell you where there are treasures?" Xiao Yatou naturally saw what had happened, and asked Jiang Feng curiously.
Jiang Feng packed up the Divine Fate Compass and asked Xiao Yatou, "It's nothing. I'm going to that volcano, you coming?"
She nodded her head vigorously, her expression was one of excitement and joy.
He summoned the Monster Cloud and jumped on it. When Xiao Yatou saw the Monster Cloud, she also gave it a touch and called out in joy, "This must be the Monster Cloud! This is so cool! I saw you on it during the Siege! That's so hot! The reason that I am playing this game is because I've seen you during the siege."
Xiao Yatou put both her hands on her cheeks and had completely become Jiang Feng's biggest fan, and she was completely charmed by Jiang Feng.
"Come up," Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and said to her.
"Hehe, okay!" Xiao Yatou smiled earnestly and packed her Fuxi Zither, pulled up her long skirt, and climbed up the Monster Cloud.
"Hold on, we're going now!"
Jiang Feng called out and the Monster Cloud flew upward towards the erupting mountain peak to the west.
Before they even went close to the mountains, a wave of heat swept through them. Xiao Yatou's cute little face had become red from the hot wave, but Jiang Feng was not affected by it at all.
"Roar!"
As soon as they came close to the mountain peak, a painful, angry roar came from within the mountain peak. The more powerful the roar was, the more lava burst forth, and the taller it gushed out.
All the monsters on the mountain peak ran toward the lower ground as half the mountains had already been singed into scorched earth by the molten lava.
Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng summoned Heifeng and said, "Heifeng, take care of her. I'm gonna take a look at the volcano."
As the owner of the Primordial Artifact Fuxi Zither, he needed to at least try and befriend her.
As soon as Heifeng appeared, he came close to her and gave her a scoundrel's smile and took out a wet chicken drumstick. "Little sister, come, have a lick!"
Seeing the kind of scoundrel Heifeng was, Jiang Feng really could not stand it. He took out the Qiankun Gourd and absorbed him back, and he summoned the Arcane Amulet Dragon Guapi.
When he remembered what the Thunderclap Mantis had promised her, he took out three Evolution Pills and gave them to Guapi. "Guapi, these are the three Evolution Pills that I've promised you. Can you please take care of this girl for the time being?"
"Golden pills!"
When Guapi saw the three pills, her eyes beamed. Her tongue rolled in all the Evolution Pills and put them away, and then she nodded to Jiang Feng excitingly, "Go ahead, I'll take care of the little one for you."
Jiang Feng nodded and said to Xiao Yatou, "You can't go inside, so play with Guapi for the time being."
When Xiao Yatou saw Guapi, her eyes beamed and she quickly climbed on top of Guapi, "Wow! It's a dragon! This is the first time I've ever seen a dragon! And I can even ride it! This is so cool!"
And with that, he had made arrangements for Xiao Yatou.
Jiang Feng took the Monster Cloud into the volcano that was still erupting.
He did not know what was happening inside, but that Donghuang Bell fragment was his!
-2,531
"Damn! The lava's so hot!"
Just as Jiang Feng went close to the lava, a lava spout struck him and immediately dealt around 2,000 damage to him.
His fire resistance had already reached 60%, but just that strike had made him lose around 2,000 HP. If this were someone else, they would have probably died after a few strikes.
Luckily, the lave would not always spout. It would spew out for a while, then it would stop for a while.
Therefore, he decided to wait for a while.
"Now!"
The moment the lava stopped spewing, he rushed forward together with his Monster Cloud steed.
The moment he reached a giant cave, a heatwave directly came at him to the point where he was sweating profusely.
Within the cave, the rocks around him were all melting into magma. The moment he entered the cave, he was besieged by the blazing heat.
-463
-342
Even with his fire resistance, he was still being burnt by the flames to the point where his HP was slowly reducing the deeper he explored.
Clang!
When he was approaching a burning pyre within the cave, the sound of heavy chains sounded from underneath him.
"No! Blink!"
At this time, he saw the flames within the cave expanding like a red balloon. He was completely shocked and used blink to go past the expanding flames and lost around 60,000 HP, reaching under the fire.
"Roar!"
A great roar that could easily deafen ears and was filled with pain and rage burst outward. As the expanding flames burst forth, the molten rocks flew up into the air as if they were lava.
The moment the flames burst forth, the thick flames in front of him began to dissipate. Taking this chance, he found a place where he could land and headed toward it. He continued watching where the roar came from.
It was completely different when he saw the inside of the mountain peak. He was right in front of a giant array, and the array was formed by chains of runes. There were twelve pillars, and the runes were connected to the pillars.
On the pillars were chains as thick as a water pail, and each chain was emitting a freezing, black aura, and they were all focused into the middle of the array.
A gigantic pyre existed within the middle of the array, and that pyre came from a gigantic fiery beast. He could somewhat see the figure of the fiery beast through the flames.
He then used Identify to check on the status of that figure. Jiang Feng's eyes then opened wide in disbelief as he stood there, stunned.
"This... is impossible..."

Chapter 179: The Death of Qilin, the Mourning of the Beasts!
The flaming behemoth was almost around ten meters tall, and its body was continuously emitting dense fire.
He could see a figure behind that flame.
"Fire Qilin!"
When he saw the stats in front of him, all he could do was open his eyes wide with shock.
Not only did he find a Primordial Artifact at a Starter Village, he even found the game's top Saintly Beast! It was very surprising for him!
Fire Qilin: Saintly Beast (Near Death)
Introduction: 10,000 years ago during the Great Divine and Infernal War, the Saintly Beasts of the Five Directions had all been severely injured and sealed in different locations and were kept at near death.
Stats: ???
Indeed, the one before him was one of the Saintly Beasts of the Five Directions in the game, the Fire Qilin.
However, he did not expect the Fire Qilin to be near death.
That meant that it was going to die soon!
If the Fire Qilin were to die, they would all be in big trouble. That meant that the entire central provinces that were under the Fire Qilin's protection would fall into chaos. Darkness would slowly corrupt the central provinces. It would not take long before the entire area falls into darkness.
Then, it would allow the Infernal Miasma, Spirit Miasma, and Undead Miasma to grow. All the monsters within the central provinces would become Infernalized Monsters, Spirit Monsters, and Undead Monsters.
Clang! Clang!
The Saintly Beast Fire Qilin had discovered Jiang Feng and was walking toward him even though it was dragging its heavy chains.
-1,435
-2353
...
As the Fire Qilin came closer, Jiang Feng's HP kept on decreasing.
When he realized what was happening, he retreated in shock.
The Fire Qilin seemed to have sensed Jiang Feng's action and stopped, and then absorbed the flames back into itself.
As the flames around the Fire Qilin had disappeared, he finally showed its true form.
A dragon head, an antler's horn, a lion's eyes, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, a snake's scales, a horse's hooves, and an ox's tail. Indeed, it was how he had expected the Fire Qilin to look like.
"Inheritor of the Shifters!"
The Fire Qilin spoke. His voice was weak, but it was still filled with majesty. There was no antagonism in his voice since he was also part of the Shifters.
If it were not because he was the Inheritor of the Shifters, the man that would one day become the Shifter Emperor, he would have knelt down the moment the Fire Qilin had spoken.
Even if that was the case, his feet were also shaking uncontrollably.
"Yes, I am the Inheritor of the Shifters," Jiang Feng said. When he detected that he meant him no harm, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Elder, why were you captured here? How did you end up like this?"
"Hahaha... Finally, I have managed to wait for one of my own," The Fire Qilin laughed. He then began to explain, "You do know about the Great Divine-Infernal War ten thousand years ago, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Feng nodded. This was one part of history that seemed to impact the game the most, and he had listened to it many times. All the Divine Artifacts, Divine Beasts, and whatnot had something to do with the Great Divine-Infernal War that occurred ten thousand years ago.
The Fire Qilin then continued to explain, "Ten thousand years ago, the Divines and Infernals were at a stalemate. All the races swore loyalty to the Divines and Infernals. In order to rule the entire Divine Dominion, the Infernals began preparations with many other races for a very long time. They fear the power of the Saintly Beasts of the Five Directions, yet they could not kill us. Therefore, they found a way to suppress and seal us, waiting for us to die so that the Infernals could return."
"Now, all five of us shall die. The entire continent shall fall into darkness. The people shall not know peace! In order to maintain one last sliver of hope, we were ready to burn through what remains of our lives in order to conjure our Blood of Origin and merge them together. We would then use the Saintly Beast Jinfeng's Nirvana ability to create an even more powerful Saintly Beast."
"I was afraid that the Blood of Origin that I had conjured would fall into the hands of others, I did not expect you to come at this juncture. Very well, this responsibility shall now fall into your hands!"
Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the Main Quest, "Reform the Saintly Beasts?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Feng did not expect this to be a Main Quest. Including his main quest to restore the Shifters' glory, this would be the second main quest that he had accepted.
He did not need to think twice to know that the Main Quest could not be so easily completed.
For a start, he knew that he needed to gather the Blood of Origin of the five Saintly Beasts. He did not even know where the other four Saintly Beasts were, and he did not even know where to start his search!
"Elder, do you know where the other four other elders are?"
He had to ask the Fire Qilin about it if he wanted to complete this quest. He needed to check if the Fire Qilin knew where the other four Saintly Beasts were.
The Saintly Beast Fire Qilin shook its head, "No. We have been separated for ten thousand years. I only know that they were sealed. I do not know where they are now but worry not. You are our Inheritor, you will eventually find a way to seek them out."
"Understood. I will complete the mission!" Jiang Feng nodded.
Another long-term quest and he was getting tired of it. All the quests that he was offered were becoming harder and harder. It must have been because of his high luck that he was able to accept these quests. Otherwise, he would not even be able to discover them.
"I am gladdened hearing your promise. My time is coming to an end soon. I can see that you have plenty of bloodlines on you, Ya Di still has her sharp eyes, I see." The Fire Qilin said, and his face suddenly became twisted with pain, and ten drops of blood floated out from his body. He said to him as his face became pale, "These... ten drops of Fire Qilin bloodlines for you. You have the ability to absorb any bloodline. Remember, when all your bloodlines have reached their maximum potential, your power would far surpass us at our peak."
"Surpassing you at your peak?" Jiang Feng received the ten drops of the Fire Qilin bloodline in shock.
"Yes. You should know from my physical appearance that I have fused eight bloodlines from different monsters. Only when all my bloodline ranks have reached their peak did I become a Saintly Beast. The other four Saintly Beasts were the same. That means that when all eight of your bloodlines have reached rank eighteen, you could become a Saintly Beast!"
The Fire Qilin was becoming weaker and weaker, as if even opening his eyes was becoming a struggle.
'A dragon head, an antler's horn, a lion's eyes, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, a snake's scales, a horse's hooves, and an ox's tail. The Fire Qilin must have fused the bloodlines from these eight tribes and become what he was now, a powerful Saintly Beast. I have eighteen bloodlines within me. If I could increase them all to the 18th rank, how strong would I become? What if I increase them all to rank 20?'
When he thought of that, he could feel the bloodlines within him began to boil as his face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
"My... My time is running out. Once I die, the Infernals would no doubt rise once again. The safety of the continent and the entire Shifters are in your hands now!"
"Roar!"
As soon as the Huo Qilin had finished his sentence, the blazing flames once again erupted from his body. It howled one last time toward the sky, and his body slowly became smaller.
"It is all up to you now, little one!"
As he finished his last words, his huge body suddenly shrank into a pearl the size of a fist and remained floating in the air.
Clang...
After the Fire Qilin's death, the thick and heavy chains fell onto the ground, and they all turned to dust together with the array.
In its final roar, there was no sorrow, only hope. Its roar burst through the heavens, and all the cities and monsters in the Central Provinces could hear it clearly.
"Roar!"
And at this exact moment, all the monsters that heard this roar fell onto the ground. Some of them even knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, letting out cries of sorrow as they cried into the heavens.
The death of the Fire Qilin was mourned by all the monsters!
And this scene had astonished all the players!

Chapter 180: Rank 1 Fire Qilin
After the Fire Qilin's passing, all the monsters in Huaxia server's central provinces knelt on the ground and mourned.
This scene was extremely astonishing.
Many players took screenshots of the scene when this happened and posted it up in the message board, causing another uproar.
"What kind of monster was the one that let out that sound? Why did all the monsters crawl and kneel on the ground?"
"This is too majestic! Have you seen several thousand werewolves kneel down and worship? When I stood in front of these werewolves, I felt like I had become an Emperor!"
"So what? Have you seen a swarm of fire rats shooting out flames as they worshipped? That was even more astounding."
The death of a Saintly Beast caused all the monsters to mourn!
"Sigh..."
Jiang Feng bowed three times at the Fire Qilin's Blood of Origin. He sighed, and then he took the Blood of Origin.
He did not leave immediately after he had put away the Blood of Origin. According to the waypoints that the Divine Fate Compass had revealed, he went looking for the Donghuang Bell fragment and another treasure.
He found the Donghuang Bell fragment very quickly, it was not far from where he was and it was within a blazing fire. Together with the fragment was a pearl that was red in color and releasing a soft glow.
"This is..."
After he had put away the Donghuang Bell fragment, he looked at the red pearl and had a closer look.
Fire Spirit Pearl: Quest Item
"Hm? A quest item? What kind of quests would need a Fire Spirit Pearl?"
After giving it a thought, he could not think of any quests that needed the Fire Spirit Pearl. He then put it directly into the Qiankun Gourd.
He had gotten the treasures and even accepted a main quest. Jiang Feng, happy with the results of his exploration, was about to turn and leave.
"Hm?"
The moment he was about to leave, he noticed a small red grass that was growing nearby.
Qilin Grass: Saintly Level Herb, can be used to create pills.
"Harvest!"
Ding. System Prompt: Harvest failed. Gain 200 proficiency.
...
After trying to harvest for a dozen times and had his proficiency increased by 2,000 points, he still could not harvest it. After failing for the tenth time, the proficiency would not even increase anymore. He could not do anything about it and gave up.
"A saintly level herb, I still can't gather it with my spiritual level harvest skill. Since no one can harvest it at this stage anyway, I can come back later if I have found a way to harvest it!"
He shook his head and summoned the Monster Cloud, and left the cave.
However, when he came out, he only saw Guapi. He was not sure where Xiao Yatou was.
He flew over to Guapi, and asked her curiously, "Guapi, where's Xiao Yatou?"
Guapi pointed on the ground and said innocently, "She fell to her death."
"Fell to her death?!"
Jiang Feng looked down on the ground and saw Xiao Yatou's body on the ground. He was speechless.
"It... It wasn't my fault. I felt that the Saintly Beast Fire Qilin was going to die, I was very sad, and I was filled with sorrow. I couldn't control my body and fell onto the ground, so..."
"Alright, I understand."
He knew. The Fire Qilin's final roar before its death was extremely majestic. Even he himself had his heart skipped a bit and almost knelt down. What more when monsters without identities like Guapi had heard it.
He put away Guapi and headed to the Starter Village.
Before he even reached the Starter Village, he saw Xiao Yatou mumbling on the ground.
He quickly flew down when he saw her.
"Stupid dragon! Idiot dragon! It wasn't easy for me to level up to level 5! Now that she dropped me to my death, I wonder how long it would take me to get my level up again." Xiao Yatou pouted as she complained angrily.
She had gained the Fuxi Zither from working on a very easy quest. Unfortunately, the Primordial Artifact did not increase attack, and since she only had a few pieces of equipment, her attack was very low. It took her half a month killing level 1 Wild Dogs to reach level 5.
And now, she lost one level because of being dropped to her death. No wonder she was angry.
"Xiao Yatou." He smiled at Xiao Yatou as he landed next to her.
"Idol! You're here." Seeing Jiang Feng, Xiao Yatou's eyes beamed, then she started to complain, "Idol, your pet has some issues, she dropped me to my death."
"I apologize on her behalf. Right, these are the Town Portal Scrolls for you to go to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. Find me at the Ancient City later, and I'll bring you to level up. Up to level 10."
Jiang Feng had created fifty Town Portal scrolls returning to the Ancient City and handed them to Xiao Yatou.
Originally, he wanted to add Xiao Yatou as a friend. But after giving it a second thought, he decided not to.
As Xiao Yatou still was not that mature and was a little bit vain, he was worried that she would expose him by accident.
"Yeah! I can go to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor now! This is so cool!" Xiao Yatou said excitedly as she took the scrolls.
"Let's go, I'll bring you to level up."
"I can't tonight. I just started university and the dorms have the lights off at 10. I'm going to stop playing now, so I'll log out first. I'll log in tomorrow noon, so come find me over here, Idol!"
As soon as she had finished saying so, she logged out excitedly.
Jiang Feng did not pay much attention to it as he slightly pursed his lips.
"Let's evolve into a Fire Qilin."
There was nothing for him to do. As for fusing monsters, he was not in a rush. He took out the ten drops of Qilin Bloodline that the Fire Qilin gave him before its passing and was prepared to evolve into a Fire Qilin.
After the Fire Qilin had died, it did not leave behind a body. If it did, he could Transmute Monster to get even more Qilin blood.
He took out a Qilin Bloodline the size of a pigeon's egg and used Refine.
Ding. System Prompt: Refine Successful. Congratulations, you gained a drop of "Pure Fire Qilin Blood."
After being refined, the Fire QIlin blood became far smaller, but it seemed brighter and its color more vibrant.
Seeing the results, he slowly threw it into his mouth.
Ding. System Prompt: As you have consumed the Saintly Beast's "Pure Fire Qilin Blood", your Fire resistance has increased by 30%. It is only effective on the first use. Bloodline Purity has reached 100%.
"One drop of Pure Fire Qilin Blood could increase fire resistance and increase my blood purity level to 100%? It's too powerful!"
When Jiang Feng heard the system's voice, he became visibly giddy and excited.
"I wonder what I would look like if I become a Fire Qilin!"
Filled with anticipation, he took out an Evolution Pill and threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
He chose to evolve into the Qilin Bloodline. Next, a burst of flames began to burn him. The fire became denser and denser, before finally becoming a fire cocoon, enveloping his monkey form.
Maybe it was because his fire elemental resistance had reached 90%, he felt that the pain from the burning fire was much weaker during this evolution. He did not feel that much pain anymore when compared to the past.
Meanwhile, as he was within the burning fire within the fire cocoon, his body began to twist and change.
This was the longest he spent on evolution.
He spent almost two hours for his evolution to complete. He almost fell asleep inside the cocoon.
Bang!
The fire cocoon burst open, and Jiang Feng, who was almost falling asleep was thrown out by the explosion.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution successful.
'It's done!'
Jiang Feng opened the status panel and looked at his current form excitedly.
Dog head... Dog tail... Dog body...
"Damn it, why did I become a dog again?!"
His current form looked like a puppy and was not even that large. It was much smaller than a standard Wild Dog. The only difference was that there was fire burning on him and it gave his cute look some sense of majesty.
While he was not that happy with his puppy look, he decided not to pay it that much attention since he was still a cub. He then looked at his current stats.

"It has increased my HP by 50,000, attack by 10,000 and defense by 5,000. There are two more skills, and Fire Domain is quite nice. I have nine more drops of Qilin Blood. I should continue evolving!"
Fireball: Deal 120% of base damage to an enemy. Cooldown of 5 seconds.
Fire Domain: After activation, cause the area within a 3 meters radius centered on you to be covered in flames. Cooldown of fire elemental skills reduced by 50%. When entering the fire domain, enemies will lose 200 HP per second. Can be activated for 2 hours total per day. It can be activated and deactivated at will until the 2 hours have been expended.
Looking at his current stats, he was actually quite happy with it.
The increase to stats from a Saintly Beast's Bloodline was far higher than a Divine Beast Bloodline.
Not to mention that he was the only one in the server to have such high stats at level 0.
He mumbled to himself and took out another drop of Qilin Blood, and refined it, preparing to evolve.
He really did not like his current form that much.
And he guessed that he had to evolve a few times before he could see some changes to his body.

Chapter 181: ID Card
The Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.
Within a fortress.
A thick chain flew into the fortress.
Underneath the fortress, there was a secret room. Moji was sitting in a lotus position naked.
The thick chain pierced through and ignored all obstacles as it flew in. It then turned into a mist and burrowed itself into Moji's body.
The moment that the chain entered Moji's body, thick black miasma and a soft light emitted from her body.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes with a faint smile, "Haha, the Fire Qilin is dead! The Sacred-Sealing Chain has absorbed quite a bit of the Sacred Beast's Blood of Origin and has healed around 80 percent of my wounds. As soon as Yao Qiong captures that monk and removes my seal, the Infernals shall once again descend upon this land!"
Lihuo Village.
Jiang Feng refined another drop of Fire Qilin blood, and then consumed it.
Ding. System Prompt: As you have consumed "Pure Fire Qilin Blood", Bloodline Purity has reached 50%.
"50%! Looks like the effect is getting weaker!"
After waiting for another minute and the cooldown to expire, he once again took out a drop of Fire Qilin's blood and refined it.
After refining it, he swallowed it down his throat and increased his Qilin Bloodline to 100%.
"Let's continue with the evolution!"
Once the Qilin's bloodline had reached 100%, he took out another Evolution Pill and ate it. He then began his second evolution.
His evolution this time was much faster when compared to his first evolution.
He had finished it in only about half an hour.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution successful!
After evolving into a Rank 2 Fire Qilin, he did not have much increase in terms of his stats, but he felt that it was alright overall.
His HP had increased by 20,000 while attack had increased by 5,000, and defense had increased by 1,000.
There would only be a great increase in stats after consuming the bloodline for the first time. The effects afterward were generally quite weak.
After increasing into a Rank 2 Fire Qilin, his body size had increased by one step. Unfortunately, he still looked like a dog. Seeing that, he had chosen to continue his evolution.
He refined the Fire Qilin blood and then consumed it.
This time, only after he had used four drops of Fire Qilin blood did his blood purity reach 100%. One drop had only increased it by 25%.
That meant that with the Fire Qilin Blood that he possessed, he could continue three times at most. If he wanted to increase his Fire Qilin Blood to Rank 4, he needed even more of it.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful.
After spending another half an hour, he successfully evolved into a Rank 3 Fire Qilin.
His form had also begun to change. He no longer looked like a dog, with horns growing from his forehead and scales beginning to develop on his body. His four limbs looked like dragon claws instead of horse hooves. Because of the many bloodlines within him, his physical appearance was different than the Fire Qilin as he grew.
His third evolution had only increased his HP by 10,000, attack by 2,000, and defense by 500.
His three stats for the time being were:
HP: 342,000
Attack: 58,080
Defense: 23,952
His stats were already very high.
Probably only players who had undergone the second class change and gained the 30% increase in stats as well as having a set of Dark-Gold Equipment could match his stats.
But he knew that he was not invulnerable. His stats were still lower than a Spiritual Beast's.
By his estimation, the other Inheritors' stats should be quite close to his. And the inheritors that did not appear might be even more powerful than him.
Take Qiu Si as an example. He had a Divine Artifact and once he had reached level 50, some of the Divine Artifact's stats would be unlocked. This would allow his stats to greatly increase, and he would not be weaker than him at that time.
In the Shifter Sealing Tower, if it were not because of the level 100 monsters obeying his commands, killing Qiu Si and Yao Qiong would have been a very difficult task.
That was because as the game progressed, the Inheritors and players would have access to even more options. While it would still be easy for him to kill normal players, it would be difficult for him to kill the Inheritors.
He used seven drops of Qilin Blood, and he only had three drops left.
His guess was that even if he had consumed the blood, his Bloodline Purity level would not increase much anyways. That was why he chose not to consume the three drops of Qilin Blood and saved them instead. Who knows, maybe he could find a use for them later on.
"I've evolved three times, and I have six lottery chances. I should go for it!"
The wheel once again appeared before him. Looking at the six lottery chances he had, he tripled it and saved the other three chances, and began his lottery draw.
The indicator began to spin, and perhaps because he had tripled it, it was much slower this time.
Only after three minutes, the indicator stopped at the Pill category as he watched expectantly. Three diamond treasure chests appeared before his eyes, which meant that the pills inside the three treasure chests were at least Spiritual Level.
He opened the three treasure chests eagerly and saw that there was a silver pill within each of them.
Moon Essence Pill: Spiritual-level Pill
Created from the Essence of the Moon. After use, immune to all negative status effects for 10 minutes. It will not remove any currently ongoing negative status effects.
"A pill created from the Moon Essence! Since it makes the user immune to all negative effects, that means that as long as I use it, I won't enter the Berserk or Slaughter status!" His eyes lit up when Jiang Feng saw the description of the pills.
With these pills, as long as he uses them beforehand, he could avoid entering the Berserk and Slaughter statuses.
However, he was still disappointed that it could not remove any ongoing status effects. Otherwise, he could go and find Xiao Longnu right there and then.
"Oh well, I should continue."
He put away the Moon Essence Pill as he shook his head, and continued with the lottery.
He had decided to use up all the remaining three lottery chances.
The indicator turned, and after two minutes it stopped at the Special Category. Two White-Silver chests and one Diamond Chest appeared.
Perhaps he had used up all his luck at the Shifter Sealing Tower, this time he ended up getting White-Silver treasure chests.
Each of the White-Silver Chests had one blueprint in them, while the Diamond Chest had a card in it.
Black Coat Blueprint: Costume
Festival Formalwear Blueprint: Costume
ID Card: Spiritual Level Item
Can be used to change name, appearance, and basic display information. Only effective when equipped. Effects removed when unequipped.
"Heh, I thought that my luck has gone bad. Luckily, it didn't," Jiang Feng looked with excitement when he saw the three items inside. "I can give the blueprints to Grandma Sang to tailor some costumes, I should be able to earn from that. As for the ID card, it's something that I need the most now!"
He put away the two costume blueprints into the Spatial Bracelet. He then took the ID Card and began to edit his identity's information.
"As long as I have a decent and gentle appearance it should be fine. I have to remove the red eyes and silver hair. Game ID change to Feng, level change to 50..."
After changing all of the information, he then equipped the ID Card.
Next, the identity that was displayed was changed. Even when others look at his identity, all of the information that would be shown would be those from the ID Card and not his real information.
Because he had yet to polymorph, his form was still that of a Qilin.
"Huff... This time, my identity should be completely hidden. I no longer needed to reveal my true identity so soon." He heaved a sigh of relief as he equipped the ID Card.
He looked at the time and noticed that it was already one in the morning. He logged out to wash up and rest.

Chapter 182: Time is Too Short, Maybe Next Time
Li Huo Village.
East of the Starter Village, Greenhill Plains.
"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"
Someone shouted in the Greenhill Plains and a giant cauldron fell from the sky.
It dropped and covered a Qilin and a rhinoceros. In a short while, the rhinoceros disappeared, and only the Qilin remained.
"Huff... I've finally managed to fuse with the forty plus monsters near the Starter Village in three days. I now have the bloodline of 58 monsters in me, and my stats have increased quite a bit."
HP: 350,000
Attack: 60,843
Defense: 24,752
These were his three core stats after he had fused with the bloodlines of about forty monsters.
As all the monsters he had fused with had a low Bloodline cap, that had caused the increase of his stats to be quite low.
But even then, his stats were already very high for the time being. Even if the players were to class-change a second time, their stats would not be able to match his.
"Why hasn't Xiao Yatou come online for so long?"
He then ran toward the place where he had promised to meet up with Xiao Yatou.
He was not sure what had happened. But after Xiao Yatou logged out, she did not log in for three days.
He was a bit worried that she had decided to stop playing.
If she did, then it would be a great loss. In three months, the Fuxi Zither would no doubt change hands.
Even Inheritors such as themselves were the same. If they did not log in for a long time, the game would treat the Inheritors as dead, and choose a new Inheritor.
"Hm? She's online!"
When he went to the place where they had promised to meet, he saw that Xiao Yatou was crouching on the ground and playing with the Fuxi Zither in her hands.
He ate a Divine Speech Pill and was worried that Xiao Yatou could not recognize him, so he unequipped his ID Card and walked over.
"Xiao Yatou, where have you been all this time?" He had to continue role-playing as an NPC so that he would not give rise to any suspicion.
When Xiao Yatou saw him, she was slightly stunned and quickly put away the Fuxi Zither. She then looked at Jiang Feng's stats and asked inquisitively, "Huh? Idol, why is your form different?"
Jiang Feng did not equip his ID Card, and that was why Xiao Yatou recognized that it was him.
He answered with a smile, "I have many forms, you don't have to feel strange about that. That's right, you haven't answered my question yet. Where did you go for the past few days?"
Xiao Yatou pouted and said, "I have too many classes these few days, also I was having my final term exam. My school is quite strict and they took away my game terminal. I'm on holiday now, and I logged in as soon as I could."
"I see."
Jiang Feng did not realize that a semester had already passed. But he was on a leave of absence for one year, so he had lost track of time.
"Teehee. Idol, can I tell you something? I told my friends that I'm currently together with the Inheritor of the Shifters, but they don't believe me at all. Can you take a picture with me? I want to make them envious of me," Xiao Yatou said in excitement.
"Alright, let's take a picture first."
With that, he took a few pictures with Xiao Yatou. Of course, to let others know that he was indeed the Inheritor of the Shifters, he showed his name and class.
After fulfilling Xiao Yatou's request, he took out ten Level 50 Experience Pills and gave them to Xiao Yatou. "Take these. They should be enough to raise your level to ten plus."
As he said that, Jiang Feng took one Level 50 Experience Pill and ate it.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on leveling up by 5 levels. You have received 25 free attribute points.
"Hm? 25 Points? Looks like after I have obtained the Qilin Bloodline, I will receive 5 free attribute points, an increase from 3. Not bad!" He was slightly stunned but it quickly turned into a smile.
Next, he quickly ate 7 more Experience Pills and reached level 12. Including the Free Attribute Points he had previously received, he had 60 points.
He added all 60 free attribute points to insight without hesitation.
Ding. System Prompt: Your Insight has reached its maximum limit!
His Insight was originally at 47 points. After adding 53 points, it had reached 100 points and could no longer be increased.
He then added the remaining 7 points to Charisma.
"I think I should stop at level 12. I still have to fuse with other monsters outside the Starter Village. I won't lose much even if I have failed and lost a level or two!"
Looking at his current level, he did not choose to consume any Experience Pills.
After leaving the Starter Village, he was going to continue to fuse with other monsters. If his level were too high and he were to lose his levels when his fusion fails, it would be a waste of Experience Pills.
Since the stats would not change, leveling up did not have much use to him other than allowing him to equip better equipment. That was why he was not in a rush to level back up.
"Haha! I'm level 15 now! Idol, you're too great! Just one of your pills gives me more experience points than me spending my time killing wild dogs for a week." Xiao Yatou looked at him with adoration.
"Alright, let us go to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor," Jiang Feng said to Xiao Yatou.
"Yes," Xiao Yatou nodded as she had wanted to make a trip to the Ancient City for a very long time. She then took out one of the Town Portal Scrolls to the Ancient City, used it, and headed toward the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
After Xiao Yatou had left, Jiang Feng was also about to use the Town Portal scroll and leave this place.
Suddenly, he saw that the sky on the horizon had suddenly darkened.
And any monsters that the darkness had touched would become Infernalized with greatly increased power as they roared uncontrollably.
"It looks like without the Fire Qilin, the Infernals had begun to corrupt the Central Provinces."
When Jiang Feng saw what had happened, he quickly took the Monster Cloud into the sky and looked at where the darkness was.
'I wonder where the Infernal Miasma is coming from. It would be best if I could stop it!' After giving it some thought, Jiang Feng headed into the darkness.
Due to his dual identity as both a player and the Shifters' Inheritor, the Infernal Miasma could not Infernalize him. They brushed over his body and did not have any effect on him.
He followed where the Infernal Miasma came from and flew straight on.
After flying for half an hour, he was soon approaching a cliff.
He was about to jump down the cliff on the Monster Cloud to check on the source of the Infernal Miasma when he quickly sensed danger. He swiftly used Blink to leave where he was immediately.
Whoosh!
He looked and saw that a bloody whip had appeared at where he was at, violently lashing out where he was standing just now. Even the Infernal Miasma at that location had greatly dispersed.
Next, a beautiful figure appeared not far from him.
"Moji!" Jiang Feng said in disbelief when he saw who had appeared.
The one that came was indeed the leader of the Infernals, Archmaster Moji. He looked at her stats, and realized that her Severely Injured status had already disappeared. That also meant that her wounds had almost healed. He was not her match at all.
"I did not expect to see you here, dragon. It seems that the path driven by grudge that we walk on is truly narrow. You have escaped from the Shifter Sealing Tower, but you will not escape this time!"
Archmaster Moji looked at him with fiery wrath. With a wave of her hand, several hundred Infernal Generals appeared before him.
"Moji, do you have to welcome me with such a great party? Despite what happened, we are still husband and wife! Not to mention that you started it first!" Jiang Feng was having cold sweat when he saw the hundreds of Infernal Generals that had appeared.
These were Infernal Generals, and each of them had the power to match an Immortal Beast.
"Kill him!" Archmaster Moji did not waste any time and directly ordered them to kill him.
"Roar! Dragon Howl!"
When he saw the hundreds of Infernal Generals coming toward him, his face paled and he quickly used a crowd-control skill.
Next, he took out the Teleporting Furnace and burrowed into it without thinking twice.
There was no way he could fight that battle! He would be killed instantly!
"Don't think that you can escape!" When Archmaster Moji saw that Jiang Feng was going to escape using the Teleportation Cauldron, she appeared next to the Teleportation Cauldron in the blink of an eye as soon as she was no longer dazed. Her blood whip was fastened around the Teleportation Cauldron, stopping it from making its escape.
"Binding!"
Jiang Feng took out the Shifter Emperor's Flag and waved it in time. A chain burst out and bound the Archmaster before him. The Blood Whip had disappeared under the effects of the Binding skill.
When Jiang Feng saw that Moji was getting angry, he pulled her in and kissed her. "Honey, I know you're angry, but we are out of time. Maybe next time, bye!"
The Binding skill only had a duration of five minutes, and there was nothing much he could do in that short a time.
Not only that, there were several hundred Infernal Generals around him, and he could not do anything even if he wanted to.
After being humiliated by Jiang Feng, Archmaster Moji was even more furious as she stared at him with burning hatred. When he saw the hundreds of Infernal Generals coming over, he smiled, gave her a goodbye kiss, and jumped into the cauldron. He then activated its teleportation ability.
Next, the Teleportation Cauldron shone brightly and disappeared from the sight of Archmaster Moji.
When she saw the cauldron disappear before her, she let out an indignant roar, "Argh! Shifters' Inheritor! I will kill you! I will skin you, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"

Chapter 183: Hell is Right in Front, After You!
Dongyu City, Red Leaf Forest.
Whoosh!
There was a screech in the air, and a cauldron fell into the depths of the Red Leaf Forest.
The lid of the cauldron opened up, and a handsome young man climbed out from within.
"Cough! Damn that Moji! She made me lose another 10,000!"
That young man was Jiang Feng, who had escaped from Moji's grasp after teasing her.
Every time he used the Teleportation Cauldron, he needed to spend 10,000 gp. He could still feel the hurt from it.
He put away the Teleportation Cauldron, then looked at the forest around him that was covered in red leaves. He then began to think about what had just happened, 'Why would Moji appear at a cliff so close to a Starter Village? Does she need to personally make a move to corrupt the Central Provinces? Or is there a treasure close to the Starter Village?'
'No!'
'It shouldn't be a treasure. There must be an army of Infernals sealed close by! Just like the Starter Village that I started with!'
When that thought crossed his mind, he finally realized how Xiao Yatou ended up with the Fuxi Zither.
If he guessed it correctly, the Fuxi Zither should be the treasure that was used to seal the Infernal army.
But why was the Infernal army not released once Xiao Yatou had received the Fuxi Zither?
He had to guess that another treasure was keeping the seal suppressing the Infernal army in place.
And Moji appearing near Lihuo Village was to take away that treasure that was maintaining the seal in order to release the Infernal army.
"Whatever. I could be wrong. Regardless, I should return to the Ancient City..."
Dong!
Dong!
Just when he was about to leave, he could hear the ringing of a bell coming from afar.
The bell was ringing in very short intervals, unlike the normal ringing of a bell that was long and stable.
"Hm? Jinshan Temple? Why does the ringing sound so weird? And isn't Xiao Longnu at the Jinshan Temple now? I should go look and see what is happening and visit Xiao Longnu," He mumbled and summoned the Monster Cloud, and then headed toward the Jinshan Temple.
Dark clouds had gathered on top of Jinshan Temple.
On the dark clouds, Yao Qiong led a few Infernal Generals and a group of Infernal Soldiers standing outside of the temple.
"Surrender Tang Sanzang, or I will soak Jinshan Temple in blood!" Yao Qiong said coldly as she looked down at the inner sanctums of the temple.
The monks from the Jinshan Temple were in disarray as they looked at the Infernal Generals and Infernal Soldiers in the air.
Meanwhile, a monk of about three to four years old was still walking around calmly.
He was wearing a loose robe and holding a broom that was as tall as himself. He swept the floor of the yard and cared little about the cloud in the skies.
Tap, tap.
A white horse came next to him and said, "Master, come with me!"
The little monk was indeed Tang Sanzang, and the white horse was Xiao Longnu.
"Where to?" Little Tang Sanzang asked with a smile.
"To escape their evil grasps, of course. If you were caught, we would be in big trouble!" Said Xiao Longnu.
"Evil is everywhere. I am evil, you are evil, there is evil wherever we go. Can we really escape?" Said the little monk.
"While I don't understand what you said, I know that you are more knowledgeable in Buddhism than the Chief Monk," said Xiao Longnu.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw a group of monks coming toward him.
The one leading them was Master Liaochan, the Abbot of Jinshan Temple.
Master Liaochan came before him, pointed at the dark sky, and said with a whimper, "Sanzang, about that..."
Tan Sanzang put down the broom in his hand and sat down in a lotus position. He clasped his hands together and said calmly, "I see it not."
"You see it, but why pretend that you do not?" Master Liaochan questioned him with a frown.
"You are the Abbot. What you can see, I might not be able to see?" Tang Sanzang said with a smile as he looked at the Abbot.
Abbot Liaochan clasped his hands together and said, "I cannot do it!"
"And I can?"
"Yes, you can!"
"And you cannot?"
"I cannot!"
"Then why do we need you as an Abbot?"
"To spread the teachings of Buddhism, and to help all the living?"
"And who are the living?"
"All that are alive are part of the living!"
"Then I too am part of the living, why will you not save me?"
"It is not worth it to sacrifice everyone just to save you!"
"A mere equivocation!"
"Sanzang, for Buddh-"
Tang Sanzang stood up and without waiting for Abbot Liaochan to finish his sentence, said to him, "Who is the Buddha?"
"Do not tell me that all that are living are the Buddha!"
"The Buddha is but an excuse to conceal your own hypocrisy!"
His words had angered the abbot, and he said in anger, "The Buddha said 'if I do not enter Hell, who will?' You are the Buddha, you..."
Tang Sanzang once again cut short what the Abbot wanted to say and said to him with a smile as he pointed to the sky, "Since you have so much love for all things, Hell is right in front, after you!"
"You..." Abbot Liaochan was so angered that he had no words left to say.
Xiao Longnu and the other monks could not understand much of what they just heard.
In truth, this was but the simplest Buddhism debate. Or not.
The main debate was that Abbot Liaochan wanted to give Tang Sanzang to the infernals, sacrificing him to save all the monks staying in Jinshan Temple.
There was no love involved in this at all, and he was even forcing him to do it.
He could not take all of this, and that was why he engaged the Abbot in a debate.
"Kill them!" Yao Qiong yelled out in fury toward the Jinshan Temple as she stood in the dark clouds.
The sky was darkened and the earth painted. Wherever the Infernal Soldiers and Infernal Generals went, the monks of Jinshan Temple would fall. Blood began to flow like a river.
And when Jiang Feng had arrived, he saw that the Infernals were fighting with the monks of Jinshan Temple.
"Hm? Why did the Infernals attack Jinshan Temple?"
Despite him being filled with questions, Jiang Feng had hidden himself and avoided the sight of the Infernal Soldiers and infiltrated the Jinshan Temple.
"Roar!"
He saw a bloodied White Dragon fighting with three Infernal Generals within the temple. Tang Sanzang was sitting on the ground in a lotus position and chanting the Diamond Sutra. A golden barrier appeared around him, blocking the Infernal Soldiers' attacks.
Yao Qiong appeared not far from Jiang Feng. She then attacked the golden barrier that protected Tang Sanzang with her pair of chakrams. In the meantime, she yelled at the Infernal Generals that were fighting with Xiao Longnu in the air, "Kill that dragon quickly and capture Tang Sanzang!"
"It's her again! Why does she want Tang Sanzang?" Jiang Feng thought to himself with a frown when he saw Yao Qiong.
He stopped thinking about it when he knew that he would not be able to reach an answer, but he knew that he could not let Yao Qiong take Tang Sanzang away!
He unequipped his ID card and transformed into a Fire Qilin. Before his Hide skill expired, he came close to Yao Qiong quietly.
"Tornado!"
He roared, and a giant tornado appeared where Yao Qiong was at. It swirled her and the group of Infernal Soldiers next to Tang Sanzang.
Next, he took a ride on the Monster Cloud and came close to the Tornado. He then slapped Yao Qiong a few times with his claws, causing about 10,000 plus worth of damage, killing her. He then caught Tang Sanzang and came next to Xiao Longnu.
"Roar! Dragon Howl!"
He used another crowd-control skill, stopping those few Infernal Generals. He then took out the Qiankun Gourd and placed Xiao Longnu and Tang Sanzang within it.
He then took out the Teleportation Cauldron and jumped into it. He escaped using the cauldron once again.
Since there were so many Infernal Generals and Infernal Soldiers here, he was completely outmatched. He had to first avoid a confrontation with them, and understand why the Infernals wanted to capture Tang Sanzang.

Chapter 184: Birth of the Shifter Hierophant
Though he wasted another 10,000, Jiang Feng once again avoided death.
He came out from the Teleportation Cauldron, then put it away. He then used the Town Portal skill and returned to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
He appeared in the Shifter Emperors Palace.
He then let Xiao Longnu and Tang Sanzang out.
When Xiao Longnu came out, she transformed into her human form and caught hold of Jiang Feng's arm as she yelled out excitedly, "Little Feng!"
"We meet again, my Lord," Tang Sanzang said with a smile as he clasped his hands together.
The bald Tang Sanzang was quite cute, thanks to his innocent expression and the way he spoke by dragging the vowels with his baby voice.
Looking at Tang Sanzang, Jiang Feng could only think to himself, 'Whoever designed Tang Sanzang is really... He looks like the cute kid from next door. But in reality, he is smarter than everyone else.'
"Little monk, why are the Infernals after you?"
"Because my flesh and blood can unseal Moji's power."
"How do you know about this?"
"Because there is nothing that I do not know!"
...
After speaking with Tang Sanzang for a while, Jiang Feng was speechless.
But at least he knew that this monk that was still wearing toddler pants was not lying to him.
Moji's Severely Injured status had disappeared, but she had not been restored to her peak power as her seal was still in place.
Once her seal had been destroyed, her power could reach that of a Sacred Beast's.
'Looks like I can't allow Tang Sanzang to fall into the hands of the Infernals, or there would be trouble,' He thought to himself as he looked at the smiling Tang Sanzang.
When Tang Sanzang saw Jiang Feng staring at him, he said with a smile, "Boy, seeing that you have saved me, let me tell you a secret."
Jiang Feng continued to stare at him and asked, "What secret?"
Tang Sanzang wiped off dripping snot with his hand and then rubbed it on his clothes. "Your bloodline is too diverse, and their rankings too low. You will not be able to use them to their full potential. If you want to be able to master these bloodlines, perhaps even fusing them all together, you can go and save the monkey. He knows the way."
The small monk had shown him a way to solve his problem with one sentence.
Indeed, he had 58 bloodlines in him. However, only a few of his bloodlines were of high ranking. Some of the others had not even reached rank 1. If he were to continue to evolve each of them, he would need an eternity to increase the rankings of all of those bloodlines.
If he could fuse them all together, it would increase the speed in which he could increase his ranks. His power would likewise increase faster as well!
"The monkey you mentioned is Sun Wukong?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes." Tang Sanzang nodded.
"That is going to be difficult. That monkey is being suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain which is guarded by the Four Great Arhats. I cannot defeat them," Jiang Feng shook his head.
If he could, he would have saved him a long time ago. He would not have waited til now.
Violetglow had said that the Four Great Arhats were all Immortals ranked at around level 80. That meant that he needed to be at least level 80 and had reached the rank of a spiritual beast to challenge and win.
He would need around four months to reach level 80, and he needed a similar amount of time to increase his bloodline to rank 16, the rank of a Spiritual Beast.
"I have told you the way, the rest is up to you," Tang Sanzang said as he stood up. "This place of yours is quite nice, I will stay here for the time being."
With that, he walked deeper into the Shifter Emperor's Palace, and left Xiao Longnu and Jiang Feng behind at the plaza right in front of the palace.
"Little Feng, the master knows anything and everything. He is very powerful. Now that my power has mostly been restored, do you want me to go with you to save Sun Wukong?" Xiao Longnu said to Jiang Feng with a smile.
He looked at Xiao Longnu's stats, and her power had mostly been restored. Her curse had almost been fully cleansed.
Unfortunately, she was only a level 50 Immortal Beast. It would still be very difficult for them to face the Four Great Arhats, who were at level 80.
Jiang Feng said as he looked at her, "We won't go and save Sun Wukong now. We will decide later on after I've increased my power."
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Just as he had finished speaking, two figures appeared in the Teleportation Circle that was at the plaza in front of the Shifter Emperor's Palace.
Ling Feiyu and Mu Xi both walked out from the circle.
Both of them was slightly stunned when they saw Jiang Feng after they exited the circle. Ling Feiyu came over and asked, "You only left the Starter Village after so long? And why did you change appearance again?"
Looking at Ling Feiyu's pretty face, he remembered how Ling Feiyu protected him back in the Shifter Sealing Tower. His heart was filled with warmth.
He used a low-level Polymorph Pill and turned into his human form, and said, "I was dealing with something at the Starter Village, and only came out recently. That's right, has anything changed in the game in the past three days?"
He had been focusing on finding and fusing with monsters in the past three days, and he did not pay much attention to what had happened in the game. He also did not read the message board, so he was not sure what the current situation was in the game.
"Currently, most players have already changed their classes a second time. Their powers have grown much stronger. However, those guilds that hurt you have become low-key in their dealings. Meanwhile, the other national servers have made a few headlines. Every server has now revealed some secret classes. You must have at least heard of the World Announcements two days ago?" Mu Xi said with a smile.
When he heard what Mu Xi had said, he looked at the Level Leaderboard.
Huaxia Server's highest level in the Level Leaderboard was level 53. However, the World Level Leaderboard's number one was level 62.
Muxi was the only one on Huaxia Server's Secret Class Leaderboard. She was not even in the World Secret Class Leaderboard. The American Server had three Secret Classes, Japanese Server had two Secret Classes, the Korean Server had two..
Looking at the Secret Class Leaderboard, it could be seen that the Chinese Server had the least number of secret classes.
"The least number of secret classes?"
Jiang Feng looked at the Secret Class Leaderboard with a smile, and then took out a scroll from the Qiankun Gourd and gave it to Ling Feiyu.
Ling Feiyu accepted the scroll from Jiang Feng and asked in confusion, "This..."
"The scroll for the Shifter Hierophant secret class. There is no need to do any quest for it. You can directly class change into the Shifter Hierophant. Are you willing to do it?" Asked Jiang Feng.
In truth, he had already considered giving the Shifter Hierophant secret class scroll to Ling Feiyu.
While Ling Feiyu was his follower, she was just a priest. She did not have much combat capabilities.
While he was not sure how powerful Ya Di was, Ya Di could defeat the Dragon Soul of a member of the Dragon race's royalty. Her power was not to be underestimated.
Not to mention that the Shifter Hierophant should have some other abilities, and the class was much more powerful than a typical priest.
Once Ling Feiyu had become the Shifter Hierophant, she would be able to greatly support the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor and him.
"What?! A secret class scroll that allows me to change class immediately?!"
Ling Feiyu and Mu Xi were both stunned on the scene. They could not understand how Jiang Feng could have something like this.
"Alright, use it. Let me see what kind of abilities the Shifter Hierophant has," said Jiang Feng to Ling Feiyu.
"Alright!" Ling Feiyu nodded, and used the Shifter Hierophant Secret Scroll.
Whoosh!
A pillar of light enveloped her and shielded others from seeing her appearance. After two minutes, a World Announcement was made.
Ding. World Announcement: Congratulations to the player "Ling Feiyu" from Huaxia Server who has changed into the "Shifter Hierophant" class.
Next, the light disappeared, and Ling Feiyu's figure was revealed.
"This..."
Jiang Feng could only stare in astonishment at Ling Feiyu, whose body had undergone changes as she class-changed into the Shifter Hierophant class.

Chapter 185: Johns
After Ling Feiyu had changed into the Shifter Hierophant class, her body underwent some changes.
Her forehead had a phoenix tattoo, and several strands of her hair became blue. She had a pair of wings that were as blue as pure water, and there was a ripple on where she stood as if she was walking on a lake.
The purple dress that was on her had become a blue silk-like gown, and a sense of sacredness was enveloping her.
She emitted a beauty that did not allow others to be indecent to her.
"So beautiful..." Jiang Feng said with a smile when he saw Ling Feiyu in her new form.
Hearing Jiang Feng's praise, Ling Feiyu blushed slightly in embarrassment.
Mu Xi gave Jiang Feng a look, then looked at Ling Feiyu without saying anything.
"You must have chosen the Aqua Phoenix Bloodline, right? Now, why not share with us what skills the Shifter Hierophant has."
From how Ling Feiyu looked, she must have chosen some of the Rime Phoenix characteristics. The Rime Phoenix was a Divine Beast that focused on Healing. It seemed that Ling Feiyu had chosen to continue as support.
"Yes." Ling Feiyu nodded, then shared the information on her skills with Jiang Feng.
She had six skills, they are Heal, Tongue of the Beast, Commune, Summon, Command and Revive.
He knew about the Healing, Tongue of the Beast, Summon, Revive, and the Command skills. Other than Healing and Tongue of the Beast, he looked at the other four skills.
Commune: After activation, increase Charisma by 50. Can commune with anything and has the ability to Entice others to join. Expends 200 points of Mana per second.
Summon: Summons three monsters that have been Enticed to aid in battle. Duration of 30 minutes.
Command: Command all monsters within 500 meters that are not Territory Kings, Spiritual Rank, Immortal Rank, Divine Rank, or above. Duration of 10 minutes. Cooldown of 24 hours.
Revive: Can revive those who died, including non-revivable monsters that are of Immortal Rank and below. Cooldown of 5 hours.
"Hm? Other than Commune, I know about all the others. But their exact usage differs from those that I know, especially Revive. That is quite a powerful skill!" Jiang Feng said in surprise as he looked at Ling Feiyu's new skills.
The Commune skill could be used to Entice some monsters. That meant that he no longer needed to force the monsters to become his followers. All he needed to do was to let Ling Feiyu Commune with them.
The Summon skill was different from the Shifter Emperor's Flag. The Shifter Emperor's Flag was used to summon those who had Shifter-aligned classes or monsters to him. But Ling Feiyu's skill was to summon the monsters that she had enticed to aid her in battle. That meant that she had some combat capabilities now.
The Command skill was similar to the one on the Shifter Emperor's Flag, except the range was much smaller and could not be used to summon bosses.
His Command skill could command monsters within 5km, or 5,000 meters, including bosses. But he had a longer cooldown period.
All priests had access to the Revive skill after their class change a second time, but they could only revive players. But Ling Feiyu's Revive skill could revive some monsters that were normally non-revivable.
By 'non-revivable,' it was referring to monsters or NPCs that only had one chance in life. He could use the Fusion ability from his Transmute Monster skillset to revive monsters, but he could not revive if it were a human.
But Ling Feiyu could.
"Not bad! Once your levels have increased and you become stronger, you could unlock even more skills. You will also become more powerful then!" Jiang Feng nodded satisfyingly after he had read through the details of the skills that Ling Feiyu had shared with him.
At this current stage, as long as it was not a huge group of players hunting her, no one could kill Ling Feiyu.
She only needed to use the Command skill and have all the monsters within 500 meters obey her. His guess was that those who wanted to kill her would be deterred once they see that happening.
Ling Feiyu nodded with a smile after hearing Jiang Feng's praise.
"I have a quest for you all. Ling Feiyu, go and convert some monsters to our cause and bring them here to the Ancient City. I will share the Ancient City's control with you. Use this time to get as many monsters to the Ancient City as possible."
If he wanted to clean up all the mess caused by the other guilds, he needed more followers that he could use. He could not do it all alone.
"Mu Xi, you are the Shifter Archguardian and you are very good at positioning. I want you to help me train these monsters."
While the monsters had high stats, they had low intelligence and did not know how to fight effectively. During large-scale battles, their combat capabilities would be reduced significantly. However, it would be different if someone were to train them.
"Understood."
Mu Xi and Ling Feiyu did not oppose his decision and nodded in agreement.
Next, he took out the Thunderclap Mantis's body and Ling Feiyu used Revive to revive it.
He did not find any suitable target, so he had put the Thunderclap Mantis's body in the Qiankun Gourd.
When he saw that Ling Feiyu had the Revive skill, he then had the hope of reviving the Thunderclap Mantis.
After telling them what he needed them to do, he then brought Xiao Longnu and left the Ancient City to find Yan Chixia.
Since Xiao Longnu's power had almost recovered, they now had the necessary power to complete the Chinese Ghost Story quest.
Back in reality.
America, within a company.
Johns, the number one in the American Server, was a handsome man with blonde hair and green eyes. He received a call from Japan, and the two were conversing in English.
"Mr. Johns, I have found the second fragment of the Mirror of Yata. However, it is protected by a barrier, and we need the Ruler of Hakai. I hope that you can help us take back the Ruler of Hakai. I will reward you handsomely for that!"
Johns smiled. "Mr. Kitazawa, you should know that while the Huaxia Server's overall power is weaker than ours, we can't get it back for you even if we ask for it. While we do have our ways to cross over the borders, but we cannot have too many people over and we won't be able to take them head-on. This is a very difficult matter!"
Kitazawa Hinata was silent for a while. "Mr. Johns, I know you have your ways to get back the Ruler of Hakai for us with your abilities. I can consider whatever requests that you make."
Johns raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, I'll consider."
After hanging up the call, Johns remembered something and made a call using the phone in his hand.
"Hello? Who's this?" An attractive voice came from the phone.
"Hello, I don't think you know who I am. My game ID is Johns, and I am looking for a Ms. Ling Feiyu."
"Oh! Hello, hello! I am Carina! I like you a lot, you..."
"Thank you, but I am here looking for Ms. Ling Feiyu!" Johns had to emphasize that again.
"Oh... Feiyu, your call!" He could hear the disappointment in the voice.
Next, he could hear a conversation from the other side.
"Who is it?"
"Johns, my idol!"
Bang!
The line then went dead.
Beep. Beep.
Johns looked at the phone with awkwardness on his face.

Chapter 186: Inheritor of the Witchers
Los Angeles, The United States.
Within a female dormitory.
Ling Feiyu hung up the call without any hesitation at all and said, "Don't pick up his calls again!"
Johns, whose real name was Charlie Star, had met with Ling Feiyu once during a party when they were in New York.
After that, Johns had begun courting her fervently.
She had to return to the university early since she was getting sick of him.
Luckily, he only knew her name, not where she was at.
However, it was clear that she had underestimated Johns since he was able to find her dorm's number.
"Feiyu, why did my idol call you? Tell me! Do you guys know each other? And why can't I pick up his call?" Karina asked Ling Feiyu.
Ling Feiyu flipped her long hair and gave her an S pose. "Do you still have any questions?"
Karina looked at Ling Feiyu's perfect body, and then looked at hers. She then asked enviously, "You mean, my idol is chasing after you?"
Ling Feiyu smiled and grabbed at Karina and said, "That's right. But I won't fight with you for him, so don't pick up any of his calls after this. Or tell him that I've returned to China. Otherwise, you won't ever have a chance."
Karina hugged Ling Feiyu, then massaged the two hills that were under her pajamas and kissed her cheeks strongly, and said with a naughty smile, "Wow! Feiyu, you're so generous! I love you so much! Seeing that you're so nice to me, I'll lend you my ultimate stick for the night!"
"Get away from me! You insatiable woman!"
When girls were together, they were often much more open. They would say embarrassing things like this quite commonly as part of their lives, but only between best friends of course.
Ling Feiyu pushed Karina away and returned to her room, then she closed her door with a bang stopping Karina from entering.
"Teehee, what I have to do now is to help my idol expand his influence. I'm waiting for my idol to start a fight and win..." Ling Feiyu said. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind and she touched her red cheeks and said excitedly. "Hehe, my idol said that I am beautiful today. He must have liked me. I can't wait for the day for him to confess to me. Every time I see the other players' weddings, I get so envious! I wonder what my wedding would look like? I can't wait!"
She looked like someone that was obsessed with Jiang Feng. She was even more obsessed than Xiao Yatou.
Unfortunately, every time when she entered the game or when there was someone else, she had to pretend to be an ice queen, using her coldness to hide her other self.
After she had calmed down, she did not give any thought as to why Johns would call her and entered the game directly. She was going to work on the tasks that were given by Jiang Feng.
New York, The United States.
Johns sat in his office, and he called his capable assistant, Owen, over.
"Boss, you're looking for me?" Owen was a huge man, and his voice was loud and deep.
"Investigate for me if the Ling Feiyu that got the secret class was the same Ling Feiyu as the Ling Feiyu that I am chasing," said Johns.
Owen nodded and said, "Yes."
In truth, not only did he know the number to Ling Feiyu's dorm, he even knew the number to her cellphone.
His father was an arms dealer and he owned a few other companies on the surface. He was very influential, and it was very easy for him to find someone's telephone number.
The only reason that he did not contact Ling Feiyu until recently was that he was too busy with the game and his in-game guild.
But when he knew that there was a Ling Feiyu in the Huaxia Server that had obtained the secret class, and he knew that Ling Feiyu was in that same server, he suspected that the two Ling Feiyus were the same person that he knew back in reality.
Adding Kitazawa Hinata's call, he had confirmed that the Ling Feiyu in the game was the same Ling Feiyu that he knew. And since Ling Feiyu was the Shifter Hierophant, it would be extremely easy for her to get the Ruler of Hakai from the Shifters' Inheritor.
Unfortunately, before he could ask her about it, Ling Feiyu had already hung up his call. When he called the number again, no one picked up.
Ring! Ring!
At this time, the phone in front of him rang.
He looked at the number and smiled. "Hello."
"Hi! How are you? I am Karina, the girl that picked up your call. I'm a fan of yours from the game, and I look up to you a lot." An excited voice came from the other side.
"Thank you. Right, can I ask something?" Johns asked Karina as he plotted.
"What is it? Just ask, I will tell you if I know about it!"
"Is Ling Feiyu in the Huaxia Server?"
"Yes."
"What is her in-game ID in the Huaxia Server?"
"I don't know either. Since we're not in the same server, we don't talk about the game much."
"Alright. Are you free tomorrow? Can I bring you to dinner?"
"I'm free! I'm free!"
After he hung up the call, he smiled confidently. He then took the terminal on his table and put it on. Then, his chair slowly reclined and became a bed as he entered the game.
Jiang Feng brought Xiao Longnu to Luzhou City, then headed toward Lanruo Temple on the Monster Cloud.
He checked the Official Message Board while he was on his way.
He did not look at the message board for three days, and his information was getting outdated.
The game's information was updated very quickly, and he could miss some important information by accident.
"Hm? The World War would begin at level 100, and all the countries would compete for the ownership of an island called Zhenling Island back in reality?"
At this time, the highest player level was 62. There were 38 more levels before reaching level 100. Leveling up became increasingly difficult as they progressed, but it was still possible to increase 1 level every two or three days. That meant that the World War would begin earliest in two months' time, and the latest by three months' time.
"Looks like it's impossible to clean them all up, I guess all I can do is to suppress them using absolute power!" When he saw that, he knew it would not be likely for him to clean the guilds up at this stage.
Therefore, he was going to use his power to suppress the guilds. If they refuse to obey, it did not matter. When the Guild War starts he would destroy them immediately. While it would make things harder during the World War, they would still have a fighting chance.
Of course, that also meant that he would need to increase his pacing on strengthening the Ancient City's forces at this time."
Hm? The Inheritor of the Witchers has come out, and destroyed a small guild with over 10,000 members! He's so powerful!"
The post had just been posted not too long ago, and he watched the video that was in the post driven by his curiosity.
The Witchers' Inheritor was called Xing Kui and he was a male player. He was a muscular and powerfully built man. He held an axe, and wore a Buddha Beads Necklace around his neck. Each bead was as huge as a gist, and each of them had realistic figures carved on them.
He saw Xing Kui throw one of the beads into the group of players, and the bead flashed and became a humanoid with a beastly head. Its two ears had two fiery snakes pierced through it, while it stepped on two fire dragons with fiery red scales. It was the Ancestral Witch of Fire from the South, Zhurong.
A blazing flame surrounded Zhurong, and all the players that came close to him would be instantly killed if they were too weak as it caused around 50,000 points in damage. While it was not as strong as him, it was slightly stronger than Heifeng and Yanhu as well as the rest of his followers.
Xing Kui then threw out all of the remaining eleven beads, and they all became different humanoids. However, all of them looked monstrous, and some even looked half-beast, half-man.
"Looks like the Witchers' Inheritor's skill is to summon some of the Twelve Ancestral Witchers to help in battle. Looks like this game is getting more interesting as it progresses. I wonder what kind of Inheritors would appear after this!"
He then closed the video

Chapter 187: Purgatory
After he watched the video on the Inheritor of the Witchers, other than his determination, he could feel the pressure.
It was all thanks to the Monster Transmutation System that he could come this far.
However, he was a Shifter. He was not a player.
His stats were vastly different from the other Inheritors. If he wanted to grow stronger, he could only use Transmute Monster and the Evolution Pills.
That was also the reason why the speed of his growth had been limited.
That was why he desired power strong enough to dominate the Inheritors that were powerful and had yet to show themselves.
He needed to accelerate the pacing that he obtained power as well.
At this stage, all of the Inheritors had the ability to instantly kill other Inheritors. One-sided dominations did not exist yet.
For example, Yao Qiong's current HP was around a hundred thousand or more.
However, she could not handle his sneak attack. All he needed was to use a few skills, and she would be instantly slayed.
At the same time, if he were sneak attacked by Yao Qiong, she also had ways to instantly kill him. Of course, it would not be as clean a kill as him killing her.
Other than needing power, he also needed a treasure that would help him avoid being instantly killed by the other players.
Out of the Ten Main Plot quests, he had accepted two. One remained unfinished.
He wanted to finish one first and see what kind of rewards it would give in the end.
His guess was that the rewards would be something that he needed the most.
It could be seen from the Dragon Blood that Ning Caichen had given him.
No matter which Inheritor or players would accept the Ten Main Plots quests, the rewards that they receive would be something that the person that accepted the quest needed the most.
If he could finish this quest and it gave him a treasure that would prevent him from being instantly killed, the other Inheritors would not be his match.
He had arrived at Lanruo Temple.
Ning Caichen was still standing under the giant tree in front of the Lanruo Temple, and he kept on calling Xiao Qian's name.
He looked at Ning Caichen, but he did not greet him. Instead, he directly went inside the temple to look for Yan Chixia.
He found him in the Mahavira Hall.
He was sitting cross-legged inside with his eyes closed.
Yan Chixia felt that someone was approaching the temple's inner sanctum and opened his eyes, and looked at Jiang Feng and said, "You have come, boy."
"Master, I feel confident with my current power level. I would like to enter Purgatory to save Xiao Qian!" Jiang Feng said to Yan Chixia by getting directly to the point.
"Hm? No, you have not reached Spiritual Rank. With your current power level, even some of the lesser spirits could kill you!" Yan Chixia shook his head.
"Then, what if we have Xiao Longnu's help?" Jiang Feng pointed at Xiao Longnu next to him and said to Yan Chixia.
"Xiao Longnu is quite strong, but you are too weak."
"Master, don't worry. Even if we can't succeed, I still have a way to get all of us out of there. I can guarantee our safety."
Yan Chixia lowered his head and considered it, then looked at Jiang Feng and asked, "Did you bring Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body?"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "I did."
Abbot Lanruo's golden body could triple someone's attack and defense and had the ability to bestow Abbot Lanruo's skills that he had used while he was alive. However, it had a huge drawback. Thirty seconds later, the user would be weakened and all his stats would be reduced by 80% for five hours. The user would also lose two levels.
Due to his high attack power, it was high enough for him to either fight other Inheritors or players. That was why he had never used Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body since he had gotten it, and he had it with him all this while.
"If you insist, then I shall bring you all over."
When Yan Chixia saw Jiang Feng's doggedness through his expression, he did not refuse but agreed to Jiang Feng's request.
Next, he brought Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu toward the lake behind Lanruo Temple.
After Laolao had disappeared, there were no more ghosts around the lake. Only some Phantoms remained.
Their levels were not that high too, and they were all cleared out of the area after Yan Chixia had used his sword.
"There is a tunnel that links to Purgatory in the bed of the lake. Both of you, follow me closely later." After giving a word of warning, Yan Chixia jumped into the lake.
Jiang Feng was originally going to dispel his human form, but seeing that he had to go down the lake, he gave up on that thought. With the Fire Qilin's element being fire, it would not be a great experience for him to swim in that lake.
When he saw Yan Chixia jumping into the lake, he and Xiao Longnu exchanged a glance.
Xiao Longnu gave him a soft smile and became a White Dragon, then dived into the lake. He caught onto Xiao Longnu's claw that she extended to him, and followed closely behind Yan Chixia with Xiao Longnu at the lead.
After they had slain Laolao, there were no longer tree roots in the lake.
Xiao Longnu and he followed Yan Chixia, and had quickly reached the lakebed.
Whoosh!
After they had reached the bed of the lake and before the ripples on the lake had even disappeared, a graceful figure appeared on the lake.
"Why did that little crook enter the lakebed? I should follow him and find a chance to kill him!"
The elegant figure was none other than the Inheritor of the Spirits who had an erotic encounter with Jiang Feng, Xiao Lan.
After mumbling for a bit, she too dove into the water without triggering a ripple.
Underneath the lake was a stone stele almost covered in mud.
The word "Purgatory" was written on it.
Looking at the stele, Jiang Feng knew that this place should be one of the game's dungeons.
If he were correct, saving Xiao Qian might even open up this dungeon.
"Open!"
Yan Chixia took out a talisman and slammed it on the stele.
Boom!
The moment that the talisman was slammed onto the stele, it began to rumble. Next, a cracked form on the stele and a whirlpool-like portal opened before them.
"Get in, now! The talisman can hold for 10 seconds only!" After saying that, Yan Chixia entered the whirlpool portal quickly.
Xiao Longnu once again transformed back into her human form and jumped in together with Jiang Feng.
Boom!
After the three entered the whirlpool portal, the path began to slowly close.
At this time, Xiao Lan appeared next to the portal and went in without hesitation.
Once they were in Purgatory, Jiang Feng wanted to scream out his frustrations!
He really wanted to scream!
"Game designers, come out! This is not purgatory! I guess this must be even more beautiful than the Realm of the Immortals! I won't even have the will to kill monsters here!"
In front of him was a bright blue sky littered with pure white clouds. The grass on the rolling plains was of lush green, the mountains were covered by layers of mists and the streams were crystal clear as they flowed. The deers pranced around and the cranes flew between the mists. As the cool wind brushed his face, he almost wanted to fall asleep in such a beautiful place.
Xiao Longnu grabbed his arm with a smile as she lay close to his shoulder with sleepy eyes.
"Ha!" Yan Chixia quickly bellowed out when he saw Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu becoming dreamy.
"What happened, Master?" Yan Chixia's bellow had awakened Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu.
"This is all just an illusion. Do not fall asleep. Once you fall asleep, the agents of Purgatory would bring you both away. And then, you would become nothing but fresh meat to be fed to the Purgatory King."
"But... This doesn't look like the Purgatory that was supposed to be clouded in darkness. Master, did we take a wrong turn somewhere?" Asked Jiang Feng as he pointed at the beautiful landscape with confusion.
Yan Chixia rolled his eyes at him. "Have you not heard? The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. When it is nighttime, take a look at this place again. It will frighten you!"

Chapter 188: Gift Pack Lottery
Jiang Feng did not understand what Yan Chixia was saying. He opened the map and took a look.
From the map, he could see that the Purgatory was quite huge.
The entire Purgatory was made out of one city and several villages.
However, what made him feel strange was that there were no monsters here. He felt that it was extremely out of the ordinary.
He asked Yan Chixia about the question that he had in his mind.
Yan Chixia stroked his beard and pointed at the sun in the sky, and said, "See that? Once it is morning, the entire Purgatory would become exceptionally gorgeous. The monsters would also disappear. However, once at night, there would be monsters all over the place. That sun is called the Solar Isle. The Solar Isle's shine could dispel any darkness. However, it would only be in the sky for 10 hours, and in the remaining 14 hours the sky would become the domain of the Lunar Isle."
"When the Lunar Isle has risen, the entire Purgatory, regardless of whether it were men, animals, or plants, they would become monsters of darkness. Danger would be everywhere. We are quite lucky to have entered this place in the morning. If we enter in the night, we would need to spend some effort to reach Youmin City!"
"Master, then we should do this quickly and try our best to get Xiao Qian out in the morning. Is that right?"
The Solar Isle could destroy any darkness. The Ancient Fiend of the Black Mountains must be part of the darkness. Since it would not come out in the morning, all they needed to do was to take Xiao Qian away during the day. It would become a very easy task.
"Do you think it's that easy? During the day, Xiao Qian would take a different form. You cannot directly check the identity of someone in this place, and you have to ask them verbally. There are millions within the Purgatory, how long do you think you will need to find someone like that?" Yan Chixia said as he rolled his eyes at Jiang Feng.
"Then what should we do now?" If they were not able to find Xiao Qian in the morning, Jiang Feng was also out of ideas.
"Come with me. We'll find somewhere quiet to stay in Youmin City, and we'll think of a way later!" Yan Chixia said to Jiang Feng. He then threw out his Red Sun Sword and used it to fly.
Jiang Feng summoned the Monster Cloud, carrying Xiao Longnu, and followed suit.
Youmin City is located within the center of the Purgatory. It would take at least five hours for them to get there from the Purgatory's entrance.
Since there was nothing he could do when he was on his journey, he was going to evolve once again.
When he was at the Shifter Sealing Tower, he had fused with the boss of the Earth Dragon Beast and his bloodline had reached 99%. Thanks to a few monsters that he had transmuted after that, his Dragon bloodline had once again reached 100%.
All he needed to do was to take in another Evolution Pill, and he could become a Rank 7 Adult Dragon. His stats would increase substantially, and it would help in the coming fights.
However, before he evolved the Dragon bloodline, he was going to evolve his other bloodlines first. Since the Dragon form was the form that he had been using the longest and was most proficient in. He was not quite that proficient in the forms of other monsters.
He still had sixteen Evolution Pills on him. That meant that he could evolve sixteen times.
He ate the Evolution Pill and chose to evolve his Bear bloodline.
Next, a flaming cocoon enveloped him and he began to evolve.
When Yan Chixia turned back and saw Jiang Feng enveloped in a fire cocoon, he was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't know that the boy would have Evolution Pills on him! If his Bloodline could remain pure, he could become a Divine Beast in a very short time!"
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Complete!
"Since I have more time, I should continue!"
Evolving into a Rank 1 Bear Monster only took him ten minutes. Since he had time, he decided to continue evolving.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful!
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful!
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful!
After two hours and a half, he had used up fifteen Evolution Pills and had evolved the bloodlines for fifteen different monsters.
He looked at the last Evolution Pill in his hand, and he did not hesitate to evolve his Dragon Bloodline and continued with his evolution.
This time, it took slightly longer.
It took him almost half an hour before the evolution was complete.
Ding. System Prompt: Evolution Successful! Congratulations, you have evolved into a Rank 7 Adult Dragon.
"Roar!"
The fire cocoon burst open, and Jiang Feng's huge draconic body appeared on the Monster Cloud.
After evolving into a Rank 7 Adult Dragon, the length of his body had increased to a hundred meters. His dragon horns had also grown to a few meters long. His several dozen meters long dragon whiskers waved in the wind, and his gigantic dragon head looked fierce and majestic.
Perhaps his rank was too low as he only had two claws.
For the dragons, they would only grow their third claw once they have become a Divine Beast, their fourth claw when they have become a Greater Divine Beast, and their fifth claw when they have become a Sacred Beast.
It meant that if he wanted to grow an additional claw, he would need to reach Divine Rank first.
"I've evolved sixteen times, let's see my current stats."
Using his Change skill, he made his body smaller and looked at his current stats.
HP: 350,000 (60,000)
Attack: 60,843 (22,000)
Defense: 24,752 (10,800)
After evolving sixteen times, his HP had increased by 60,000, attack by 22,000, and defense by 10,800.
At this time, his total HP had reached 410,000, total attack 82,843, and total defense 35,552.
His current stats had already surpassed many of the players.
If all his fifteen evolutions were to evolve from Rank 6 to Tank 7, his stats would increase by several-fold. Perhaps, even grant him the power of a Spiritual Beast directly.
"I've evolved sixteen times! So many times, to the point that my brain is getting fuzzy. This has given me thirty two lottery chances. I still have some time, so I should go for it!" He looked at the number of lottery chances he had and looked in front. Seeing that he still could not see the city, he was going to use those lottery chances. Perhaps he could get something useful.
"Hm?"
The moment he opened the wheel for the lottery, he was stunned.
He saw that other than the button that was used to double in the middle of the wheel, another button had appeared.
The new button had "Gift Pack Lottery" written on it, and an introduction was next to it.
Gift Pack Lottery: Push to switch and enter the Gift Pack Lottery menu. There are 5 types of gift packs within the menu. They are the Strength Gift Pack, Spirit Gift Pack, Agility Gift Pack, Survival Gift Pack, and Support Gift Pack. Each draw will expend 10 lottery draw chances. Each gift pack will contain 3 to 5 items, with Yellow-Gold being the lowest level item offered.
"Looks like as my lottery draw increases, the ways that I can play the lottery are increased as well. Since I have thirty two chances, I should give it a try!"
After seeing the Gift Pack Lottery's introduction, Jiang Feng was curious about what kind of gifts would come out from the Gift Packs.
With that in mind, he pushed the Gift Pack Lottery button excitedly. Then, the wheel was changed and it was separated into five categories.
His guess was that the Strength Gift Pack would include items that would increase attack, such as talismans, equipment, and stat pills.
Spirit Gift Packs should include items that spellcasters could use.
Agility Gift Packs should include items that improved mobility.
Survival Gift Packs should include items that increase defense, or defensive items such as the Talisman of Invulnerability.
Support Gift Packs should include items that were supportive, just like the Shifter Emperor's Flag, which should be considered as a support item.
He himself hoped that he could get the Survival Gift Pack. If he had it, his survivability in Purgatory would be greatly increased.
The indicator quickly turned, and he took out the Ruler of Hakai and held it in his hand so that his Luck could break through its cap.
Then, as he looked on with excitement, the indicator did not take long to stop in the Survival Gift Pack category. Next, a prismatic gift pack appeared in front of him.
"Whew, let's see what's inside!"
He took a deep breath and put away the Ruler of Hakai, and opened the prismatic gift pack.

Chapter 189: There is a Race That is Hidden in the Darkness?
His Luck stat was full and he had the additional 50 points of Luck from the Ruler of Hakai.
With his Luck over the cap, he could get whichever category he wanted almost at any time.
Of course, he would not know what he would actually get.
Looking at the prismatic gift pack floating in front of it, he did not hesitate to open it.
Once the prismatic gift pack was opened up, four items floated out.
One skill book, one cloth doll, one talisman, and one pill.
Golden Bell Barrier: Immortal Level Skill. Absolute immunity against one attack. Cooldown of 30 minutes.
Sacrificial Doll: Spiritual Level Item.
When the person equipped with the doll would suffer fatal damage, the Sacrificial Doll can nullify that damage. It can nullify up to 5 times of such fatal damages, and it will disappear after the fifth time.
Talisman of Invulnerability: Spiritual Level Talisman.
Expendable. Becomes invulnerable for 1 minute after use.
Withering Wood Pill: Immortal Level Pill
Instantly recovers 50% of hp after use. Cooldown of 10 minutes.
Jiang Feng's giant draconic eyes blinked with excitement as he looked at the four items in front of him.
All of them were items of spiritual level and above, and all of them would increase his survivability.
"That 10 draw chances weren't wasted, since I managed to get at least one skill!"
He did not make any losses using the ten lottery chances to draw the four items.
Normally, it was extremely difficult for a player to have these items that could increase their survivability, especially the items that could save their lives once.
But with this Gift Pack, he had drawn several items that could increase his survivability at one go.
If he were to use his lottery chances one by one, perhaps he could get better items, but there was no guarantee that he could use them.
There were pros and cons. The former was more random, but the latter was more specific.
He took the Golden Bell Barrier skill book and used it directly. As for the other three items, he put them all away into his spatial bracelet.
With the Golden Bell Barrier Skill and the other three items, he could perhaps hang on for a minute or two even if he were to encounter the Purgatory King.
He could do many things in two minutes. Saving Nie Xiaoqian, for example!
"No! It's almost night time! We will not make it to Youmin City, let us find a village and hide for the moment!"
Just as Jiang Feng was about to use the remaining 22 lottery chances, Yan Chixia's voice came and he dismissed the thought of using the rest of his lottery chances.
He looked up, only to see the Solar Isle slowly moving and descending to the East while the Lunar Isle was rising from the West.
'Hm? Interesting. The Sun usually rises in the East and sets in the West. But here, the Sun sets in the East and then rises in the West."
When he had just entered the Purgatory, he thought that the sun had just risen for a short while. They would have enough time. However, he did not expect the Solar Isle to set in the East.
As the Solar Isle slowly set, the Lunar Isle slowly rose. Darkness began to fall upon the land from the West and quickly encroached upon them.
"There's a village in front! Quick! Once we are in the cover of darkness, we could be killed by the monsters in the darkness!" Yan Chixia said to Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu as he pointed to a village in front of them that was in a mountain col.
As Jiang Feng stood on the Monster Cloud, he realized that other than them, some of the humans that lived in the Purgatory were also running as fast as they could toward the village.
The humans that did not make it screamed out one last, haunting cry when the darkness covered them, their flesh and blood instantly being consumed and only skeletons remained.
However, those skeletons that were once human ran toward the humans that were escaping as if they were controlled by something.
As soon as any human was caught by the skeletons, they would be consumed by the skeletons and they themselves would become skeletons and join the army of walking bones.
Hiss!
When Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu saw what happened, both of them were terrified.
He finally understood what Yan Chixia meant by not getting terrified when darkness came.
The entire scene where he saw humans being eaten alive was indeed very horrifying.
If anyone without a strong will were to see this, they would probably even fall unconscious from the shock.
When he saw this scene, he felt like he wanted to scream at someone again.
"If this scene were shown to the public, it would no doubt be censored! This is too cruel, too bloody!" He mumbled as he rushed into the village.
As soon as he entered the village, darkness descended.
Whoosh!
At this exact moment, a golden barrier appeared above the village. On the golden barrier sat the phantom of a fierce monk with three heads and six arms.
The monk clasped his hands together and sat in the lotus position. As soon as the darkness touched him, it dissipated and headed toward other directions.
"Whew. That was dangerously close. If we were any slower, we would be in trouble!"
As soon as Yan Chixia entered the village, he patted his chest as he heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Feng asked curiously, "Master, what's in the darkness? You are afraid of it despite your power?"
Yan Chixia stared at Jiang Feng. "I had never walked in the darkness of the Purgatory. But I do know that there is an extremely evil race that lives in the darkness of the Purgatory. They used the darkness to create terror and blood. While they are few in numbers, each of them had the same power as a Divine Beast, and they are very terrifying. Even the Purgatory King doesn't dare to move in the darkness for long."
"Each of them have the power of a Divine Beast? They are that powerful?!" Jiang Feng was surprised.
He never thought that something like this was hidden in the darkness of the Purgatory, and they were that powerful.
What race was hidden within the darkness? If this race had an inheritor, what kind of terrifying power would it bear?
"Impossible. This race is too cruel and bloodthirsty. An inheritor simply can't exist. " He shook his head and refused to think about it anymore.
"My son... Why must you make an old woman like me bury you in your youth?"
"Husband, what will happen to me and our son after your death?
"Brother... I want my older brother..."
...
When he was speaking with Yan Chixia, all the villagers came to the village gate. Many knelt on the ground and mourned in sorrow and pain. Many of the villagers that did not make it to the village were their family members.
Looking at all of that, especially when a little girl was crying in tears, he did not feel good about any of it despite knowing that it was just a game, and it was all scripted.
When Yan Chixia saw Jiang Feng, he said with a smile, "I know what you are thinking. I am warning you, however. Do not be fooled by their appearances. What they look like in the daytime and nighttime is different. It might be possible that they were animals, and that little girl was actually a huge man."
"Um... it can't be?" Jiang Feng asked Yan Chixia.
"You will know tomorrow. Come, let us find a place to rest. We still have a journey to make tomorrow!" Yan Chixia headed into the village.
When Jiang Feng saw Yan Chixia entering the village, he circled his giant draconic body around the villagers for a while. However, it seemed that the villagers could not see him, and he was confused.
Curiously, he chased after Yan Chixia and was about to ask him about it.

Chapter 190: The Failed Meeting
In a small village in the Purgatory.
Jiang Feng had shrunk his body, and coiled his body on a tree in the village.
Xiao Longnu learned from Jiang Feng and did the same, and coiled on the tree.
Yan Chixia took out his beer gourd and drank a mouthful with his back against the tree.
"In the Purgatory, those who come from the outside cannot be seen by the villagers at night. However, they can see us in the morning. And when you are here, do not enter the villagers' houses to rest, or you wouldn't even know what killed you."
Jiang Feng looked at Yan Chixia, then pointed at the phantom of the monk with three heads and six arms above the golden barrier and asked, "Then what's that monk? How is it able to defend against the darkness?"
Yan Chixia raised his head and gave it a look, and said, "That's the phantom of an Arhat of the Dead Cicada race."
"Dead Cicada? Another race?!"
"The Dead Cicada was created by the Buddha's eldest disciple, the Golden Cicada. They are enemies with the Greater Leiyin Temple, and have created the Lesser Leiyin Temple. While those from the Dead Cicada are all ugly and hideous, but their deeds deserve great praise. Of course, when they encounter those from the Greater Leiyin Temple, they would still attack without hesitation."
"What? The Dead Cicada was created by that kid still wearing his toddler pants? You must be joking!"
When he heard that the Dead Cicada was created by Tang Sanzang, he was surprised. He could not understand how a level 50 kid was able to create an entire race and oppose the Buddha, as if he was very powerful.
"What kid?" Yan Chixia looked at Jiang Feng, perplexed.
"No... nothing."
While the NPCs do know of each other, they did not really interact with one another. Yan Chixia still did not know that the Golden Cicada had reincarnated into Tang Sanzang.
"That's right, Master. Do you know where the Greater Leiyin Temple and Lesser Leiyin Temple are?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The Greater Leiyin Temple is located on the planet Dragonquarry. I do not know where the Lesser Leiyin Temple is."
Dragonquarry?
That was a planet that players could only go to when they were at least level 50. However, the monsters there were of level 200 at least, so it was not an area that they could go for now.
To think that the Greater Leiyin Temple would be on Dragonquarry, then they must be extremely powerful.
And for the Lesser Leiyin Temple to be able to oppose the Greater Leiyin Temple, then they would not be any weaker.
'When I get back, I have to ask that kid if the Dead Cicada has an Inheritor. If they do, I must bring them into the fold!' He thought to himself excitedly when he realized that little Tang Sanzang had such a powerful faction behind him.
At the same time, he knew where his pride came from. That little kid was in fact the boss of a huge NPC faction in the game.
From chatting with Yan Chixia, he knew about the relationship between the NPCs in the game.
After chatting for a bit, Yan Chixia must have been tired as he closed his eyes to rest for a spell.
As for Jiang Feng, he logged out due to boredom after getting Xiao Longnu into the Qiankun Gourd. He would return once Purgatory had returned to daylight.
Ding. World Announcement: Congratulations to the Atlantis Guild for increasing their Guild Base to level 2. The Guild War is now officially unlocked. As it is the first guild to have raised its guild base to level 2, it is awarded with 100,000 capital, increased guild base territory by 10km, world reputation 1000. We hope that the other guilds will continue to be diligent. Hope that you all have an enjoyable time in the game!
After Jiang Feng logged out for a while, a world announcement was made in the entire game.
As soon as the world announcement was made, all the guilds that went to the Shifter Sealing Tower congregated as soon as possible for a meeting.
Canaan Guild's Guild Base, Southern Sea.
Many of the guilds' bosses had secretly come to the Steward's Residence within Canaan City.
Canaan, the beautiful and able woman, sat on the steward's throne in the Steward's Residence.
However, she was not as elegant and beautiful as before. In fact, she looked somewhat exhausted.
Mu Xi had left the guild, and so did Nangong Tiaotiao and his cousin Mo Yi. Her best friends and her family had left, and it had a great impact on her.
While it was not as bad as losing her entire support base, those that were closest to her had all left.
Other than that, she had been spending a lot of time trying to find any secret class quest so that she could get stronger.
She remembered the words that Jiang Feng had said when she was in the Shifter Sealing Tower. And that was why she had told many of the guilds to not level up their bases. As long as the Guild War had not been unlocked, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor would not be able to mount an offensive against the other guilds.
However, she did not expect that when another guild from another server had increased their base level, the Guild War would still be unlocked.
He was worried that Canaan would be the first that Jiang Feng targets, so she called all the other guild leaders that had the same concern as her. They were going to discuss this.
Very quickly, all the guild leaders had entered the hall and taken their seats.
In a short while, all the guilds that had joined Jiang Feng had arrived. Other than the Tianxia Gang that had already disbanded, all nine guilds were there.
Once the representatives of the nine guilds had all arrived and were in their seats, no one made a sound.
Canaan looked at all nine of them and said, "The Guild War has begun. If any of you have any ideas to defend against the attack from the Shifters' Inheritor, now is the time to say it."
The guild leader of the Black Dragon Guild said, "From what I can see about the Shifters' Inheritor, he is someone that will always settle his grudges. He will undoubtedly attack us. But in three months' time, it is very possible that the first World War is going to begin. If he were to attack us, our strength would be greatly decreased during the World War. Do you really think that he would attack us at this time?"
Ling Yun said with a frown, "He's an NPC. He won't understand what the big picture is. I think we better think of a way to face him. Otherwise, if the Ancient City does launch an attack, we would be taken by surprise."
Ling Yun's words had Hei Tong zip up his mouth.
They all thought that Jiang Feng was an NPC, and an NPC could act without logic. And they would all be in danger.
At this time, Shen Ye laughed uncontrollably in his seat on the left-hand side.
"Shen Ye, what are you laughing about?" Canaan asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I just feel that it's pretty funny. I never thought that players like us would be afraid of an NPC to such a degree," Shen Ye laughed savagely, "What are we afraid of? When the time comes, we will face him head-on! At most, the guild would be destroyed! I will settle the score with him for killing me until I'm level 0!"
With the help of some of the elites in his guild, Shen Ye's level had reached level 13 after his level had dropped to 0. However, he could never forget how he was killed until his level had dropped to 0. In fact, he was adversely affected by it psychologically.
Shen Ye was not afraid of anything anymore, and he would not discuss with the other guilds like scared cats in this place.
After he had finished his speech, he then used his Town Portal skill and left.
"That's fine. I can't think of a way too. Hopefully, the Shifters' Inheritor only takes what he said as a joke. I'm leaving as well," Hei Tong said and left.
"The money that I had spent was from my investors and had nothing to do with me. At that time, I'll ask my investors to speak with the Shifters' Inheritors. Even if it fails and my guild is destroyed, I'll just build another one when I reach level 100 at Silvermoon. I'm leaving too."
"The best way currently is to ally with other Inheritors and have them join our guild or have a few elites with secret classes, otherwise we will need to assemble a group of powerful players to attack him. This is what I have, and I have nothing more to say. Goodbye!"
Very quickly, all the other guild leaders let out their complaints and left afterward.
Canaan looked at how the entire thing played out with disappointment. The Guild leaders came over and left before their seats were even warm.
While the others built their guilds with little effort, she did not. She built her first guild through sweat and blood. If the guild were destroyed, she would lose many in-game advantages. It would be highly impossible for her to reach this height ever again.
Han Qianqian looked at Canaan and said in fear, "Leader, should we..."
Canaan stood up and said to her, "I want to have some quiet time. Leave me be."

Chapter 191: Tricking Bald Qiang
Back in reality, 2 in the afternoon.
After Jiang Feng had logged out, he went to the toilet to do his business for a few minutes then returned to his room for a rest.
Ring!
At this time, his cell started ringing.
He grabbed it and saw that it was Song Xi, the vet from the veterinary clinic.
After picking up the call and listening to what she had to say, he nodded. He then changed and left his home.
According to Song Xi, the mummy fox's wounds were almost healed thanks to her treatment. Other than the poison and infection on its wounds, it did not suffer any other critical injuries.
"Little Feng, are you going out?" Su Qing, who had long been discharged from the hospital asked Jiang Feng when she saw him preparing to make a move.
"That's right, Sis Qing. Do you need anything?" Jiang Feng said.
Su Qing was older than him. Not to mention that she had been taking very good care of his home and family, and she had gained Jiang Feng's respect. That was why he called her Sis Qing.
And after staying together for quite some time, Su Qing was no longer shy around him. Instead, she was also treating him like family.
"No, it's just that it's not easy to grab a ride here. It was quite inconvenient every time I want to leave, so I bought a motorcycle. Here's the key to the motorcycle, use it to run your errands," Su Qing said to Jiang Feng with a smile and took out a key from the table and gave it to him.
"Er... Sis Qing, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have bought you a car! I wouldn't have let you spend so much. Oh, right. When did you learn how to ride a motorcycle?"
"You give me such a high salary and I don't feel that good about it. Not to mention that it's not that expensive buying a motorcycle. Also, when I was working in the fields, I had experience operating a tractor. A motorcycle is much easier than a tractor, and I got the hang of it at once. You still have things to do, so you should be on your way. Take care on your way out."
"Of course! Remember to feed the three fox cubs."
After chatting with Su Qing for a bit, Jiang Feng took the key and left. There was indeed a new motorcycle parked outside.
But it was not exactly a motorcycle. It was more like a moped or an electric bike.
"Woof! I... go to..."
As soon as he started the motorcycle, Xiaohei ran out, jumped, and sat behind him, his pair of dog paws locked on his shoulders with his tongue sticking out.
"If you're coming, then you have to promise to be good. Otherwise, I won't bring you out anymore."
He was not planning to bring Xiaohei with him, but looking at Xiaohei sitting behind him, he remembered that Xiaohei had not left his home for many days. Xiaohei could bring him some feeling of safety as well, so he changed his mind and was ready to bring Xiaohei to the city to have a day out.
"Woof! Yes!" Xiaohei barked.
He started the motorcycle and headed to the city together with Xiaohei behind him.
It was indeed quite convenient with a motorbike. He arrived in the city in less than twenty minutes.
He made many heads turn too as a Tibetan Mastiff was behind him. He was showing off too much.
However, he did not care about that and stepped on the pedal, soon arriving at the veterinary clinic.
After he locked his motorcycle and was about to enter together with Xiaohei, he saw that it was surrounded by many people. He could even hear noises coming from them.
A pretentious baby voice came from the crowd, "My dear, you said you want to give me a gift for my birthday! I don't want the new LV bag, I want this fox. Please, buy it for me!"
He could hear Song Xi saying, "I'm sorry, Miss. But this fox has an owner and I can't sell it!"
"What do you mean by calling me Miss?! Watch your tongue you stupid b*tch," The baby voice suddenly became rowdy, and then turned back into the baby voice again. "Dear, she... she's calling me a hoe! I'm not! You are my only love."
When Jiang Feng heard how the voice changed so quickly, he could feel the chills run down his spine. He shuddered and entered.
He walked past the nurses and pet owners that were surrounding them, and he saw a slightly pretty woman that was dressed up too excessively clinging tightly to a middle-aged bald man with a golden chain as thick as a man's thumb, and she was pleading him with her baby voice.
Song Xi was looking at both the woman and the bald man with anger.
"Alright, baby. Just watch. I'm going to teach her a lesson," the bald man calmed the woman down, then stared at Song Xi fiercely and yelled, "Apologize to my girlfriend, or I'm going to destroy your clinic!"
"Why should I apologize when I did nothing wrong," Song Xi said stubbornly.
"You're the one that insulted me! You're a hoe! Your entire family are hoes!" Said the woman.
"Apologize!" When the bald man heard the woman's words, she got even angrier and roared at Song Xi again.
"No!" Song Xi was about to cry from being wronged.
"If you don't want to apologize, it's fine. The fox is mine!" Seeing that she was so stubborn, yet he could not beat up a woman in front of so many people so he grabbed the neck of the mummy fox and pulled it from Song Xi's arms violently.
"Woof! Boss... beat... him!" Xiaohei said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes. 'This isn't a game, what should we do if we attract even more trouble?'
Even though that was the thought in his mind, he was angered when he saw that the mummy fox was being treated so violently by the bald man.
He quickly stepped forward and knocked at the bald man's head, and his expression turned to one of excitement as he grabbed and shook him as he said, "Bald Qiang! I didn't expect to see you here, haha! Let me tell you some good news, the lottery ticket you bought yesterday hit the jackpot!"
"Who the hell hit me, I'm going to... What? Hit the jackpot? How much did I win?"
Just when the bald man was about to explode, his rage died down the moment when he heard that he hit the jackpot, and he asked Jiang Feng with a smile.
"It's 5..." Jiang Feng was just going to say it when he looked visibly stunned, and then scanned the bald man from top to bottom. He then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I got the wrong guy. You're not Bald Qiang."
"I'm Bald Qiang," When the bald man thought that he could win 5 million, his eyes beamed with excitement. So what if he had to fake his identity for a while.
"Ah Qiang? Brother Qiang? Society Qiang?" Jiang Feng asked in doubt.
"That's right, I'm Society Qiang," the bald man nodded with a smile.
"About that... You are Brother Qiang. I'm so sorry, I seemed to have hit you a tad bit too hard. I was too excited." Jiang Feng smiled as he scratched his head.
"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as I hit the jackpot, it's fine even if you knock me two more times. Why would I be angry with you?"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Knock!
Knock!
Jiang Feng raised his fist and knocked his head two more times, and before he got angry, he hugged him. "Bro, you're good to me! I've already claimed the prize money for the lottery ticket, this is the money. Give me the fox, and this is the money."
With that, Jiang Feng then stuffed five hundred into the man's hand as he took the mummy fox, then turned and walked away with Xiaohei.
"Five hundred?! You kidding me?"
The bald man was quite excited when he had the money, but when he counted and there was only five hundred, he became infuriated and rushed toward Jiang Feng.
Woof!
Before he could get close to Jiang Feng, he was stopped by Xiaohei.
Jiang Feng simply shrugged and said to the bald man, "That's right. The prize money is five hundred. I know that you treat me well and want to share some with me, but no thanks, Brother Qiang. I don't want it."
With that, Jiang Feng then walked out of the clinic together with the mummy fox. He started his motorcycle and left.
Xiaohei barked at the bald man a few times before turning tail and running. With its newfound strength, he caught up with Jiang Feng after a few steps. With a jump, he landed on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Damn it! You dare play tricks on me? I will kill you!" When the bald man saw Jiang Feng escaping, he rushed out angrily and started dialing numbers after taking out his cell.
"Ahaha..."
When Song Xi and the rest of the pet owners in the veterinary clinic saw the bald man being taken advantage of, they all laughed once the bald man and the woman had left.

Chapter 192: Enhancing Pill's Healing Effect
Jiang Feng was riding his motorcycle with mommy fox sitting in front. Xiaohei was at the back, his pair of furry paws on his shoulders
Maybe he was running too fast as he kept on panting with his tongue out. All his saliva was on Jiang Feng's shoulder.
Jiang Feng felt his shoulders getting a bit sticky, and when he turned Xiaohei licked his face with his tongue. He felt disgusted and yelled, "Xiaohei! My clothes are all dirty because of you!"
Beep-beep!
After leaving the city for a short while, he could hear someone sounding the horns behind him when he was on a small road without anyone else. He turned back and saw an SUV chasing after him.
The one in the passenger seat was the bald man that he had tricked earlier.
Seeing that, he frowned as he said to himself silently, "I still got into trouble in the end."
At first, he did not want to stir up any trouble. However, he could not let the mommy fox be taken away just like that, and he had to do this despite it being less effective.
"Xiaohei, help me out later!" Jiang Feng said to Xiaohei when he saw the SUV gaining on him.
Xiaohei barked, "Woof! Yes!"
Screech!
At this time, the SUV had finally overtaken him and blocked his path with a drift.
Seeing that, he quickly hit the brakes so that he would not crash into the car.
Jiang Feng looked at the SUV that was blocking his path and thought to himself, 'The moped can't even be compared to other motorcycles. Its speed is even worse than an SUV. If someone were to give me a "Thunderbolt" racing motorcycle, I wouldn't even let them see my tail light.'
Since he was caught up, he was not going to escape anymore. He stopped his motorcycle and led the mommy fox and Xiaohei to face the five men that came out of the SUV.
Other than the bald man, the other four were all quite muscular. They had tattoos on either their necks or thighs, and they looked extremely violent. These were gangsters that could stop children from crying!
"Why did you stop running?" The bald man took out a steel rod from the trunk of the car and approached Jiang Feng from the front as he stared into his eyes.
"Haha, my motorcycle's out of gas. Maybe you can lend me some?" Jiang Feng answered jokingly.
"This again? How dare you trick me! Bros, beat him up for me!" When the bald man saw him acting like a fool, he was enraged and ordered the four men next to him.
With the bald man's order, the four large men cracked their fists.
One of them who was slightly fatter launched his knuckles directly toward Jiang Feng's face.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei barked and jumped up suddenly, he smashed his head directly into the fat man's stomach. The powerful smash directly knocked him off his feet. He foamed at the mouth, his eyes rolled, and he fainted due to the pain.
One slam from Xiaohei could break a tree as thick as a person's arm. Being hit by Xiaohei in full force could be compared to being hit by a truck. It would be weird if he was not knocked out.
"Bro!" Seeing the fat guy being knocked out, the bald man frowned as he yelled out. He then waved the steel rod in his hand, then said angrily, "Let's go! You guys go and deal with that animal! Leave that kid to me!"
With that, the other three took out their baseball bats, knives and pounced toward Xiaohei.
The bald man rushed toward Jiang Feng with the steel rod.
When he saw that the bald man was targeting him with the steel rod, he was shocked. He turned and ran.
"Ah!"
Maybe because he was too anxious, he slipped the moment he turned. The bald man hit him on his back with the steel rod. The intense pain made him cry out.
"Where do you think you are running off to? How dare you trick me! Let's see if you like dying..."
The bald man was mumbling as he kept on using the steel rod in his hand to beat up Jiang Feng, who was shielding himself on the ground.
"Howl!"
When the mommy fox saw that happening, it let out a howl and pounced toward the bald man. However, it was kicked away by the bald man and slammed onto the ground with force.
Seeing the mommy fox's pain and Xiaohei's leg being slashed, Jiang Feng became angry.
"Do you want to die?!"
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed red for a moment, and he caught the steel rod that the bald man was going to hit him with. He then kicked the bald man on his abdomen.
What made Jiang Feng feel out of the world was that his kick had thrown the bald man into the air and slammed him against the SUV. Blood started flowing from the edge of his mouth.
He did not care about it as he was overwhelmed by anger. He quickly rushed over to Xiaohei and the two other men that were still fighting him.
Originally there were three men, but Xiaohei had already dealt with one of them. Unfortunately, he lacked combat experience and did not know how to use his strength effectively. He was surrounded by the three and had sustained some injuries, and even his leg had been slashed. He was no longer as swift in his movement and he was being suppressed.
Jiang Feng was very swift, and he reached one of the men in but a few steps. He swung the steel pole in his hand with his full strength toward the back of the man.
Crack!
He could hear the sound of the man's ribs breaking, and he fell onto the ground paralyzed.
The only man that still had some ability to fight looked at Jiang Feng with fear and was ready to make his escape. Jiang Feng did not hesitate to give him a good kick on the stomach. He was immediately thrown onto the SUV, breaking the glass in the process.
After dealing with the five of them, Jiang Feng looked at the steel rod in his hand. He looked at the surroundings and then threw it with all his might into a small pond next to a piece of farmland.
After chucking away the weapon, he then walked toward the bald man. He took the money from the man's pocket, and spat out, "I won't even give you the 500!"
Just when he was about to leave, he looked at the golden chain necklace around the bald man's neck and mumbled, "Xiaohei doesn't have a collar yet. I'll take this as compensation for the medical bills."
With that, he took down the golden chain from the bald man's neck and put it around Xiaohei's neck.
He then took the mommy fox onto the moped and he then lifted Xiaohei up. Once he was on the motorbike, he then rode home.
A dozen minutes later when he had reached home, he parked the motorbike in his backyard. He then brought both mommy fox and Xiaohei into his room.
"Little Feng, what... what happened?" Su Qing asked, her face paled as she shuddered when she saw the wounds and blood on Jiang Feng.
"I'm fine, Sis Qing. Can you bring the first aid kit over?" Jiang Feng replied and carried both of them into his bedroom.
Su Qing quickly took the first aid kit over.
"Woof... Eat..." Xiaohei said to Jiang Feng as he was in pain.
'Eat? That's right!' A thought crossed Jiang Feng's mind and he quickly ran back into the yard, killed a chicken, and held it in his hand.
The next moment, red light glowed from his palm and the chicken was covered by the red light. The chicken carcass in his hand quickly became an Enhancing Pill!
After forming an Enhancing Pill, he felt that he was still quite vigorous. He killed another chicken, and the chicken carcass unexpectedly became another Enhancing Pill.
Only when he had formed two Enhancing Pills he felt somewhat weakened.
He killed another chicken to have another go, but his palm stopped reacting when he was holding the chicken.
His guess was that forming the Enhancing Pill had something to do with his mental strength and stamina. Only when both were at their peak could he form the Enhancing Pill. Once he felt exhausted, he would no longer be able to form them.
He threw away the chicken carcasses, then took the two newly formed Enhancing Pills back into his room. He then fed them to Xiaohei and the mommy fox.
When they saw the Enhancing Pill, Xiaohei and the mommy fox looked in excitement and swallowed them without hesitation.
After eating the Enhancing Pills, both Xiaohei and the mommy fox were enveloped by a soft red light. In a short while, the mommy fox's wounds that were caused by the rat started to heal. Even the fur that was cut off by the vet had regrown.
The slash wound on Xiaohei's leg had also stopped bleeding and started to heal. It quickly formed a scar, and it was then healed. His entire leg had been restored to how it originally was, just as if he had not been wounded at all.
"Damn! The Enhancing Pill has this kind of use?" Seeing the mommy fox and Xiaohei healthily running around again, Jiang Feng and Su Qing stared in astonishment with their eyes widened.
He knew then why Xiaohei wanted the Enhancing Pill. Not only did the Enhancing Pill have the ability to heal the wounds of animals, but it was also extremely effective.
