Chapter 449: Patriarch Zong Qiling, Mutated!
Qin Qipeng's pupils suddenly dilated, surprised, he said, "The Kunpeng Clan among the Ten Great Royal Families?"
He once again felt his own powerful luck.
To casually save someone and unexpectedly encounter a member of the Ten Great Royal Families!
No wonder he couldn't help but want to save Zong Jue when he saw him in danger. It turns out that Zong Jue is a member of the Kunpeng Clan!
You see, a few years ago, he obtained a secret technique left behind by a fallen Kunpeng expert from somewhere. Perhaps it was because of this that he felt a slight sense of closeness.
Zong Jue chuckled, "It is indeed the Ten Great Royal Families, but Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry about my identity. You saved my life, so you are my benefactor!"
Qin Qipeng felt emotional and clasped his hands, saying, "I am Qin Qipeng, a member of the Human Clan!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and the Beast Core hanging in front of his chest was stored in a storage ring, and the faint Monster Qi on his body disappeared without a trace.
After wandering outside for so many years, Qin Qipeng was well aware of the way to survive in the Immortal Cultivation World. If he were to wander in the Beast Realm as a member of the Human Clan, it would definitely attract attention from others.
He wasn't afraid, but just wanted to avoid some trouble.
"The Human Clan?"
Zong Jue was also stunned and couldn't help but size up Qin Qipeng.
Seeing Qin Qipeng so young and with a high cultivation level, he thought he was a member of some major clan. He didn't expect him to be a member of the Human Clan.
"When did the Human Clan produce such a talented individual?" Zong Jue couldn't help but marvel.
In the Beast Realm, except for the three major territories occupied by the Evergreen Alliance, the status of humans in other places was still not high, so naturally, there wouldn't be too powerful individuals among the Human Clan.
Qin Qipeng smiled faintly and didn't explain, asking, "Since Fellow Daoist Zong is a member of the Kunpeng Clan among the Ten Great Royal Families, why were you being chased?"
At the mention of this, Zong Jue scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It's because the ranking of the Hundred Great Royal Families is approaching. My mother asked me to gather information on the Hundred Great Royal Families. I heard that the Fire Rat Clan obtained a treasure, so I wanted to sneak in and take a look. Who knew I would be discovered just as I was about to succeed..."
Among the three major royal families participating in the ranking of the Hundred Great Royal Families this time, one of them is the Kunpeng Clan.
Qin Qipeng was speechless for a moment.
In these years of travel, he had gained a lot of knowledge and knew that the Fire Rat Clan was also one of the Hundred Great Royal Families, with a large number of members and a strong penchant for collecting treasures. They also had many experts.
This guy had quite the courage to dare to sneak into the Fire Rat Clan's lair. Although it wasn't their core territory, it was still very dangerous.
Fortunately, he didn't succeed, otherwise if the Fire Rat Clan sent a few Body Integration Late Stage Monster Cultivators, Qin Qipeng wouldn't dare to rashly help.
Traveling was not about seeking death!
"Now it's fine, I guess the other party also recognized my identity, so they didn't dare to continue chasing me. And since I didn't succeed, the Fire Rat Clan won't pursue it."
Zong Jue was also bold, waving his hand and laughing, "You saved my life, such a great favor cannot be repaid. If you have nothing to do, why not come with me to my clan and take a look?"
Qin Qipeng was naturally very curious about the Kunpeng Clan and didn't want to miss this opportunity. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
"No trouble at all!" Zong Jue laughed heartily, directly pulling Qin Qipeng and soaring into the sky, swiftly heading towards a distant place.
---
A towering mountain stood between heaven and earth, its shape was peculiar, resembling a soaring eagle with its wings spread open. On the huge wings, each feather had a towering palace, showing the immense size of this mountain.
This is the old nest of the Kunpeng clan, Jinchi Cliff.
Qin Qipeng and Zong Jue flew here for months before they arrived. Qin Qipeng couldn't help but ask when he saw the mountain peak from afar, "Was this artificially modified?"
Zong Jue shook his head and said, "This is the true transformation of heaven and earth, without any artificial carving or spiritual power adjustment!"
Qin Qipeng was immediately shocked. This kind of spectacle turned out to be naturally formed, which made it extremely rare.
Before they could approach, two figures suddenly swooped down from the beak of Jinchi Cliff and quickly flashed in front of Qin Qipeng and Zong Jue.
"Young Master, you finally came back. The clan leader has been looking for you for a long time... And who is this?"
Seeing Zong Jue, the two of them couldn't help but smile bitterly, then turned their heads vigilantly to look at Qin Qipeng.
"This is my brother, Qin Qipeng. We have a deep bond, so treat him as you would treat me in the future, understand?" Zong Jue waved his hand.
A deep bond?
The two looked at each other and immediately clasped their hands, saying, "Understood!"
Then, Zong Jue quickly flew towards Jinchi Cliff with Qin Qipeng and landed in front of the largest palace.
Before they could enter, a cold snort sounded, "You brat, you finally know how to come back! Where did you go to cause trouble again?"
As the words fell, a golden figure suddenly shot out from the palace and kicked Zong Jue fiercely, sending him flying.
Zong Jue screamed and his head got stuck in a boulder for a while before he pulled it out.
Qin Qipeng was startled. At this moment, he finally saw the figure in front of him clearly. It was a tall woman with an extremely beautiful face. Her eyes flickered with a sharp golden light, exuding an imposing aura.
"Mother, I just barely saved my life, and you attack me as soon as you come back. Isn't that too much?"
Zong Jue pulled his head out and looked at his mother with a resentful expression.
This woman was the clan leader of the Kunpeng clan, Zong Qiling, with a cultivation level of the third stage of the Transcending Tribulation Stage.
"Just saved your life? What happened?"
Zong Qiling's expression suddenly changed. Although she was strict and harsh on her son on the surface, she still loved him very much deep down.
When she heard that her son was in mortal danger, she was instantly shocked and a killing intent surged within her.
Zong Jue ran over and exaggeratedly described the situation, but he concealed his attempt to steal the opponent's treasure and portrayed it as the other party deliberately chasing him because he was alone and had evil intentions.
"If it weren't for Brother Qipeng's help, I'm afraid I would never see you again..."
Zong Jue looked pitiful and criticized the atrocities of the Fire Rat Clan, but he didn't forget his good brother.
Zong Qiling knew very well what kind of person her son was. How could she believe his one-sided words?
"Human race?" Zong Qiling's gaze became sharp. Her cultivation level was much higher than Qin Qipeng's, and she could see his true identity at a glance. Her eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly, a powerful spiritual power shot out, directly lifting Qin Qipeng into the air.
Qin Qipeng was tightly held by this spiritual power, unable to move. He frowned but remained calm. He said in a deep voice, "Clan Leader Zong, is this how you treat your guests?"
He turned his head abruptly and looked at Zong Jue, feeling a chill in his heart. Could it be that this guy deliberately lured him here?
Zong Jue beside him was also shocked and quickly grabbed Zong Qiling's arm, shouting loudly, "Mother, what do you mean? He is my brother! Let him go!"
Zong Qiling remained unmoved, staring at Qin Qipeng and squinting, "You are a human, why do you have the aura of our Kunpeng clan on you? Speak up. In consideration of you saving my son, I, as the clan leader, will spare your life!"
