Chapter 4249 Qilin Mountain

The City Lord took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, and said, “Ten thousand years ago, this part of our realm also had a Monarch, only, it is rumoured that after a great battle with another Monarch, the Monarch of our realm perished, and we became a land without one. That Monarch didn’t rule us but instead, he put a curse on the people in our realm to live in dire straits and torment for generations.”

Speaking here, he sighed softly, “This is the intense hatred between the two Monarchs, only that it has dragged the innocent us in. Since then, our realm no longer has night, as the starry skies disappeared from above us. As the years go by, the weather becomes hotter and hotter and the water sources are getting less and less.”

He looked at the teacup in his hand, looked at the tea in the cup, and said, “Perhaps in less than a few hundred years, all the people in this part of our realm will die out, and it will become a realm of death.”

Feng Jiu was silent, but did not expect it to be such an original reason. Just that, being cursed by the Monarch could make the sun never set in the west? This made her somewhat puzzled, after all, even though the Monarch was a ruler, but it was simply impossible to let the sun never set due to a curse as he had mentioned.

“As far as I know, even the Monarch cannot interfere with the operation of the sun, moon and stars, right?” Du Fan’s voice came from the table next to him.

“That’s right, therefore, some of the strongest people in this Nightless Sky had discussed this issue, only there has never been an answer. For tens of thousands of years, the highest cultivator here has been a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, perhaps because of the lack of spirit energy in this realm, or because of something else, there has never been a Nascent Soul level or above cultivator emerge.”

The City Lord sighed softly and said, “Our strength in cultivation is limited, even if we want to break this curse, there is no way to start, moreover, you guys came from other realms, so you don’t know that, there is a Qilin Mountain in our area, it is rumoured that an ancient Qilin is trapped there. That Qilin used to be a contracted beast of the Monarch tens of thousands of years ago, and every once in a while, a Nascent Soul Peak level powerhouses would team up and go to Qilin Mountain to try to find that Qilin, only, they have never been able to find the location of that Qilin .”

Listening to these words, Feng Jiu’s heart moved slightly, a glint flashed by her eyes. Ancient Qilin beast? This place even had an Ancient Qilin?

She narrowed her eyes, picked up the tea and took a sip, suppressing the excitement that surged in her heart. Little Yue’er’s contracted beast was found, but Little Muchen’s contracted beast was nowhere to be found. What a pleasant surprise it was when she heard that there was an Ancient Qilin trapped in this place?

Du Fan and the others were also slightly surprised, they looked at each other and looked towards Feng Jiu, only to see that she was holding her teacup and seemed to be contemplating something, so they all remained silent and did not say anything to disturb her.

“How far is this Qilin Mountain from here?” Feng Jiu put down her teacup and raised her eyes to look at the City Lord and inquired.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord froze slightly, he looked at Feng Jiu and said, “It’s less than seven or eight days away from here, and it’s still the speed of a sword flight.” Saying that, he added, “I received the post the other day, a few Nascent Soul cultivators sent out invitations, inviting each other to go to Qilin Mountain to search for that Ancient Qilin.”

“Since you return every year without any success, why do you all still go every year?” Ye Feifei asked curiously.

The City Lord smiled bitterly, “That’s because we have no other choice.”
