Dragon Qilin laughed. "The Hierarch and I are like father and son... brothers! Hmm, like brothers and sworn kin! I will employ the reverse summoning divine ability to lock onto him. I do not have enough magical power to reach his side, but if the Hierarch senses me, he can summon me over!"
Full of confidence, he took out a spirit elixir and said, "This is a spirit elixir the Hierarch personally refined for me. I kept one pill. It carries his aura. With this aura, I can lock onto his location and employ the summoning divine ability."
He activated the summoning divine ability. He had just established a connection with Shen Mu, who was far away in the Primordial Realm, and before he could even activate the power of the divine ability, the void suddenly trembled violently. A vast and profound force pierced through from the distant Primordial Realm. Space collapsed, and Dragon Qilin was instantly pulled deep into the spatial void.
Crown Prince Youming was startled. "Is this the power of Shepherd Heavenly Venerate? In an instant, he locked onto the location of Dragon Mountain Loose Cultivator and directly transported him over! Wait—why would Dragon Howl Heavenly Venerate show such mercy, releasing Dragon Mountain Loose Cultivator and giving him so many forces?"
Dragon Qilin's world spun. The next moment, his feet suddenly hit solid ground, and he found himself in a great hall in the Supreme Clarity Realm of Carefree Township. On the main seats sat Shen Mu and Ling Yuxiu as husband and wife, with Lang Wan, You Heavenly Venerate, Founding Emperor Yiyue, and the Primordial Human Emperor seated nearby.
Shen Mu and Ling Yuxiu were entertaining a guest. The guest was dressed entirely in crimson, like blazing fire—a beautiful woman. It was none other than the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird!
Dragon Qilin's heart lurched. He hastily stepped forward, not bothering to greet Shen Mu, and hurriedly paid his respects to the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, saying loudly, "Your son-in-law pays his respects to Mother-in-law!"
He muttered inwardly, "Speak of the Southern Emperor, and the Southern Emperor appears! Worthy of the fastest in the world. Could it be that Mother-in-law sensed Mother-in-law Bai's Vermilion Bird soul awakening and, fearing the Hierarch would ruin her plans, rushed over without delay?"
As he was thinking this, the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird said with a smile, "Good son-in-law, truly my good son-in-law. Pi'er, rise. Are you not in the Southern Heavens? How goes the war there?"
Dragon Qilin stood up, lowered his head, and his eyes darted about as he pondered how to answer.
Shen Mu laughed. "Pi, the Southern Emperor has brought good news this time. She has come to tell me of the great victory in the Southern Seas. In the battle of the Southern Seas, the momentum is excellent. Red Emperor Qi Xiayu has surrendered. Red Emperor and Bright Emperor led the remnants of the Red Bright clan to join forces with the Red Emperor and Yan'er. After several fierce battles, they destroyed more than half of the Southern Heavens' thirty-nine military lords and have already landed, driving the enemy forces toward Carefree Township."
Ling Yuxiu smiled. "The Southern Emperor wants Jingping to dispatch another army to block the retreat of the Heavenly Court's defeated troops, lest they be reinforced by the Heavenly Court's main forces."
Hearing the couple say this, Dragon Qilin's heart stirred. "The Hierarch and the Hierarch's widow are helping me cover. It seems the Hierarch has already sensed something."
"Hierarch, Madam, I did not come here for the Southern Heavens, but for the Beast Realm."
Dragon Qilin looked sorrowful and choked up. "My sworn father, Dragon Howl Heavenly Venerate, has had his soul scattered because he violated the pact with the Little Earth Lord. I, Pi, am shallow in virtue and have now inherited my sworn father's position, unworthily becoming the lord of the Beast Realm."
