There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 138 Gathering at the Ji Clan Tribe

After Hao Chen met up with Tian Lu and the others, they exchanged pleasantries. They also told each other about their experiences.

However, when asked why he was separated from them, Hao Chen only vaguely explained that he was mistakenly sent to another place by Hao Tian, ​​without revealing the specifics or explaining Hao Tian's strength to Bi Xie and the others.

Therefore, upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Tian Lu immediately became furious and said, "Who is this Hao Tian? So arrogant! He sent people away and didn't even bother to bring them back. It's outrageous!"

Seeing that Tianlu looked like he was about to argue with Haotian, Haochen quickly comforted him, "Alright, I'm fine now. Don't be angry. I'll treat you to gold."

Hao Chen said with heartache that he had taken out all his last stock of goods, just to appease Tian Lu.

He didn't want to confront Haotian so soon, nor did he want Bixie Tianlu and the others to go to Haotian because of him, which would be like lambs to the slaughter, with no chance of winning.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Bixie did not show any excitement, but listened quietly to Haochen's words.

However, Bixie was a little puzzled, feeling that this was not like Haochen's personality. Based on his understanding of Haochen, he was not one to suffer losses.

For example, when Zhanhu accidentally shaved off his tail, Haochen immediately shaved off Zhanhu's tail as well.

Thinking about it this way, there's only one reason: Hao Chen can't beat Hao Tian, ​​so he swallows this bitter pill but refuses to admit it.

Thinking of Hao Chen's humiliation, Bi Xie looked up at Hao Chen, a sly smile creeping onto his lips, but he didn't say anything, as he still had to give his younger brother some face.

When Hao Chen saw Bi Xie's eyes, he suddenly felt a little panicked and thought with a lack of confidence: Bi Xie wouldn't have figured anything out, would he? He shouldn't, he shouldn't!

But then the Four-Faced Beast suddenly pointed to the sky and asked, "Little Coal Ball, is the Haotian you're talking about the one in the sky?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Chen nodded, though he didn't know what the Four-Faced Beast knew.

At this moment, Tianlu looked in the direction that the Four-Faced Beast's claws were pointing, only to find that there was nothing in the sky except for white clouds and blue sky. He pretended to be angry and said, "Four-Faced Beast, are you kidding me? There is clearly nothing in the sky."

"Little Blue Circle, I'm not lying! Father said there are dangers in the sky and that I shouldn't fly too high unless necessary."

Ji Wuyue, who had been listening attentively, suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Lord Tianlu, what Lord Sibuxiang said is correct. It is said that there is an incomparably powerful lineage in the heavens called the Heavenly Court, and the ruler of the Heavenly Court is also known as the Heavenly Emperor. I heard that his real name is Haotian."

After Ji Wuyue finished speaking, a muffled thunder suddenly rang out from the sky, as if warning Ji Wuyue.

After the rumble of thunder subsided, Ji Wuyue patted her chest with lingering fear and vowed never to speak carelessly again.

Hao Chen suddenly thought of a saying: "What you keep in mind will surely come back to you." Perhaps when he was saying bad things about Hao Tian in his mind, Hao Tian knew that he was cursing him.

"It seems that I should talk less about Haotian while I'm still no match for him, or I might be in big trouble one day!"

After clearing his mind of distractions, Hao Chen saw the Four-Faced Beasts suppressing a laugh as they looked in the direction of Bixie and Tianlu.

Tianlu was huddled in Bixie's arms, trembling, as if he had been frightened by the rumbling thunder. Bixie kept patting Tianlu's back to reassure him.

"Sibuxiang, do you know what's wrong with Tianlu? Why does he seem so afraid of thunder?"

Hao Chen's question made Si Bu Xiang burst into laughter, which made Hao Chen even more puzzled and aroused his curiosity.

Hao Chen immediately clung to the Four-Faced Beast like a pendant, saying in a spoiled tone, "Four-Faced Beast, you're the best! Tell your little brother what happened!"

"Hehe, Little Coal Ball, let me tell you, we were so bored before that Little Blue Circle, that idiot, started researching why he couldn't have an egg with the Evil-Repelling Beast. As a result, he was chased and struck down by the Heavenly Dao and never dared to mention it again. Now, whenever he hears thunder, Little Blue Circle will hide in Little Plum Blossom's arms in fear."

Upon hearing this reason, Hao Chen was both amused and exasperated. The Ji family members beside him turned their heads away and covered their mouths as if nothing had happened, but their trembling shoulders betrayed them.

Hao Chen really wanted to ask Tian Lu how strong his obsession was with laying eggs with Bi Xie, that it could actually trigger a conditioned reflex from the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be laughing at him, Tianlu quickly explained, "It's not what Si Bu Xiang said. I just... I just... right, it's because Bixie's body is very warm that I'm holding Bixie."

"Haha~"

Tianlu was fine until he spoke, then everyone laughed even harder. The way he was hiding in Bixie's arms was really funny. Even Xiaobai, who was quiet before, was now grinning and wagging its tail rapidly.

Tianlu gripped Bixie's claws even tighter: "Bixie, look, they're all laughing at me!!!"

Bixie patted Tianlu's head, his eyes full of joy. If he could, he would prefer Tianlu who loved to cuddle and beg for hugs. Just like this was perfect.

In the end, Tianlu didn't care anymore. Instead, in front of Haochen, he and Bixie started licking each other's fur and cleaning their bodies, which made Haochen very excited.

"Don't leave me behind, I want to lick my fur too."

Ignoring the gazes of Ji Wuyue and the others, Hao Chen pulled Si Bu Xiang along and joined in, happily licking away the loose fur from Bi Xie, Tian Lu, and Si Bu Xiang.

Seeing this, Ji Wuyue and the others didn't say anything more and obediently got up. It was best if they couldn't see the Sacrificial Spirit doing such things.

"Wushuang, let's go see what we can eat nearby." Ji Wuyue led the four of them, including Ji Wushuang, to start preparing the food they would be eating later.

Just as Xiaobai was about to go find food with Ji Wuyue and the others, seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Haochen suddenly grabbed his tail and pulled him into the fur ball.

"Bixie, Tianlu, and Sibuxiang, let me introduce you. This is my new friend, Xiaobai. He's going to be something special in the future."

Seeing the several pairs of eyes staring at him, Xiaobai became instantly nervous and introduced himself in a trembling voice, "Woof, hello, my name is Xiaobai."

After watching Xiaobai for a while, Bixie and Tianlu felt a little strange. Why would Haochen say that this puppy would be extraordinary in the future?

After all, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that Xiaobai was just an ordinary dog, nothing special, and it couldn't even be called a divine beast.

But Si Bu Xiang didn't think as much as Bi Xie and the others did. He knew that his little coal ball had brought him back another younger brother.

"Hello, from now on you'll be my little brother. Let me give you a name. You're so fair-skinned, how about we call you Little Cotton?"

noob:"???"

At this moment, Bixie suddenly said, "Xiao Hao, now that you're back, let's go back together!"

Upon hearing that they were going back, Tianlu excitedly exclaimed, "Yes, Haochen, come back with us! Let's wait together for Da Ge and Jiang Jiang to wake up. I don't believe they're dead!"

But Hao Chen shook his head: "I'm sorry, Bixie, I can't go back with you yet. I promised Ji Wuyue and the others that I would go to their tribe first."

"Ji Wuyue?! You mean those mud figures from just now?" Tianlu then remembered the few humans who had been sitting not far away.

Hao Chen nodded and recounted what had happened in the Ji clan tribe.

When he heard that the problem was with the tribe they had passed through, Tianlu said helplessly, "Considering that they gave us food before, Bixie and I will go and take a look. Maybe we can be of some help."

When Si Bu Xiang heard that Tian Lu hadn't mentioned his name, he immediately became displeased: "Little Blue Circle, have you forgotten me? We're friends!"

A sly glint flashed in Tianlu's eyes. Feigning innocence, he tilted his head and said to the Four-Faced Beast, "But you, Four-Faced Beast, have no fighting power. You're just a pretty face with no fighting ability!"

The four-faced creature instantly became furious and said, "Little Blue Circle, you're not allowed to call me a pretty face, or I won't treat you next time."

When Tianlu saw Sibuxiang's exasperated expression, he immediately clutched his stomach and burst into laughter, as if retaliating for Sibuxiang's earlier mockery.

Hao Chen quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, let's go take a look together. After all, the Ji clan has erected statues for us."

Meanwhile, although the Ji clan had escaped a calamity last time, Qiongtian had no intention of letting them go and sent a ferocious beast to the Ji clan to unleash a terrible plague.

Within a few days, more than 80% of the Ji clan members were infected with the plague, and the clan was facing a life-or-death situation.

The Ji clan's elder, along with the remaining less than 20% of the clan members, knelt before Hao Chen's statue, praying for another miracle.

Perhaps because he was so close to the statue, Hao Chen had a premonition that something big had happened to the Ji clan.

"What's wrong, Haochen?" Pixie asked, noticing Haochen's sudden absent-mindedness.

After confirming that his ominous premonition was not unfounded, Hao Chen anxiously told Bi Xie and the others, "Something bad has happened. I sense that something has happened to the Ji clan. We need to get there right away."

Afterwards, Hao Chen also sent a telepathic message to Ji Wuyue and the others, telling them about the incident that had happened to the Ji clan and urging them to return immediately.

At the same moment, a crack suddenly appeared in Qilin Mountain, and the First Qilin emerged from it.

As soon as they came out, the Jade Kirin, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Well, has the Heavenly Emperor agreed to help?"

Shi Qilin shook his head: "The Heavenly Emperor refused. He said he still had to guard the Deer Man Shop, and he couldn't interfere too much in things here. That's the rule."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qilin was momentarily stunned and said, "Then what should we do? Now the gods have extended their reach to our side. If the Heavenly Emperor doesn't intervene, who else can suppress the gods' invasion?"

The First Qilin touched the Jade Qilin's head and said, "Don't worry, the Heavenly Emperor asked me to bring Xiao Hao here, saying he has something to give him."

"Xiao Hao?! Hao Chen? Is he okay?"

"The Heavenly Emperor has his reasons for asking us to bring him here." Shi Qilin's eyes became firm as he spoke. "Moreover, if it really comes to the point of no return, I believe the Heavenly Emperor will definitely take action, so we shouldn't worry too much."

Then, Yu Qilin sighed, "Alas, I know, I'm just worried about the Four-Faced Beast."

“My eldest son is fine.” Shi Qilin smiled at Yu Qilin and then said, “I’ll go and bring Haochen and my son back first.”

"Go quickly, and be careful."

"Don't worry, my wife, I still want to see our son born!" Shi Qilin said with a smile, looking at Yu Qilin's slightly protruding belly.

After saying this, Shi Qilin stepped onto an auspicious cloud and flew towards the Ji clan's territory.

This time, when he went to see the Heavenly Emperor Wuchen who guarded the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, the other party not only asked him to bring Haochen with him, but also brought him a message, or rather a prophecy.

—That is when the sky falls, auspicious omens descend upon the world, and pure blood purifies the filth of the world.

Although Shi Qilin did not fully understand what this meant, he had a strong intuition that it was related to his eldest son, Si Bu Xiang.

Therefore, in order not to worry Yu Qilin, Shi Qilin did not tell her about this.

For a time, the Ji clan seemed to become the center of attention. Not only did Hao Chen and his group head to the Ji clan, but Chen Ying also led Qiong Tian and his group to fly towards the Ji clan, as did Shi Qilin.
