Chapter 4146 The Last Dignity

“That’s a long story, it’s all thanks to that despicable Long Ao…”

The Blood Jade Qilin began to recount, “Long Ao, and I were all good friends back then. Our three brothers’ names were known throughout Demon Emperor Heaven.”

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow. “That’s Little Dot’s father, isn’t it? I didn’t expect this matter to be related to him. It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Long Ao was the eldest among our three brothers, always extremely righteous and generous, and he took great care of both of us. But no one expected that it was all a disguise.

One day, he suddenly sent me a message, saying that was trapped in an ancient Forbidden Land and was in danger of losing his life at any moment.

I was young and hot-blooded at the time, and I trusted him implicitly. Without any hesitation, I rushed over immediately and went with him to the Forbidden Land to rescue .

But I never expected that this was just the beginning of a conspiracy. He colluded with the Human Race’s Supreme Emperor, a Twelfth-Rank Immortal Array Master.”

“Supreme Emperor!”

Ye Bufan was still extremely familiar with this name. He came from the Tiansheng Sect and was one of the Five Great Saint Emperors. He didn’t expect him to also be a Twelfth-Rank Immortal Array Master.

This explained everything. The hidden Formation outside, including the Five Elements Dragon Binding Formation here, should all have been created by him.

The Blood Jade Qilin continued, “I had no idea it was a trap at the time. After following Long Ao to the Forbidden Land he mentioned, I immediately fell into a Formation that had already been set up, and my strength was greatly suppressed.

At that time, I thought it was just an accident. Although the situation was critical, I still fought back-to-back with him, ready to break through the Formation.

But I didn’t expect him to ambush me from behind, severely injuring me and knocking me unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I was already here.”

As the Blood Jade Qilin spoke, a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.

“Betrayed by my best brother, I was furious at the time. When Long Ao reappeared, I confronted him face to face, but he just mocked me mercilessly.

From then on, I lived a life of darkness. I don’t know how long it’s been, but after a period of time, he would come to take my fresh blood.

What exactly is he doing? What kind of conspiracy is he playing? I still haven’t figured it out.

All in all, Long Ao is a despicable scoundrel and will never do anything good.

If you ever encounter him in the future, you must be careful. Under no circumstances can you trust that villain.”

Meiqi said angrily, “Damn it, that’s utterly despicable! I’ll kill him sooner or later!”

“Son, revenge requires brains. You must act within your capabilities.

Long Ao’s strength is extremely formidable. Even when your father was at his Peak, he was only equal in strength to him. It’s too difficult to kill him.

You have the Kirin Clan behind you. Remember not to be impulsive. All matters must prioritize the Clan members.”

Meiqi nodded, “I understand, Father.”

The Blood Jade Qilin looked at Ye Bufan again, “I have never had a good impression of the Human Race, but you are an exception.

Thank you for allowing me to see my son before I die. Thank you for saving the entire Kirin Clan.

As the Clan Chief of the Kirin Clan, I have always kept my word. After I am gone, that drop of Qilin Original Blood will be left for you, as a small token of my gratitude.”

After speaking, he looked at Meiqi with infinite reluctance, and then his massive body began to burn.

“Father!”

Meiqi cried out in sorrow. He didn’t want father and son to be separated by death just after reuniting, but reality was that cruel.

After a few breaths, the Blood Jade Qilin’s Physical Body was completely burned away. In the end, only a drop of crystal-clear blood bead remained in the air, sparkling like a red jade gemstone.

Ye Bufan sighed. The former King of the Kirin Clan, an existence at the Peak of this realm, ultimately chose to end his life in this way, which could be considered preserving his last dignity.

Betrayed by his brother, then imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, treated like a blood-letting animal.

This was an absolute humiliation for a strong individual. If it weren't for the Legacy of the Kirin Clan, he would have committed suicide long ago.

Now that he had found his son and passed on the Blood Jade Qilin lineage, leaving in this manner was the best choice.

Ye Bufan patted the grieving Meiqi, “Alright, please accept my condolences.”

Meiqi’s eyes were bloodshot, “Boss, I’m going to kill that bastard Long Ao! I’m going to avenge my father!”

“Wait until you’ve absorbed the power of the kirin horn. Right now, you’d only be going to your death, and then the Blood Jade Qilin lineage would be cut off, betraying your father’s hopes.”

This place could not be stayed in for too long, so Ye Bufan directly sent him into the Dragon King Palace.

Then he shifted his gaze to the drop of Blood Jade Qilin Original Blood suspended in mid-air.

Although there was still some distance, he could still feel the immense energy contained within the blood, countless times stronger than the Dragon Blood he had seen before.

Although the essence of the Blood Jade Qilin’s entire life was within the kirin horn, this final drop of Original Blood that condensed was also extraordinary.

It seemed Dianmo’s Opportunity had arrived. Ye Bufan directly sent the Original Blood into the Dragon King Palace.

Situ Dianmo was a dark Cultivator and also a blood Cultivator. If she could absorb and refine the Qilin Original Blood, her strength would undoubtedly greatly improve.

Gengjin Mother. He then looked at the chain.

He hadn’t dared to touch this thing before, fearing to alarm the Dragon Emperor. Now that everything was handled, it was time to take it away.

Ye Bufan pulled hard, and the chain trembled, but its source was extremely stable.

It seemed he had to break these Restrictions first. He punched out, and the Restrictions locking the Gengjin Mother on the wall shattered in response, all of them broken.

Then he flicked his wrist, and the entire chain detached from the wall, falling into his palm.

“Good stuff, it’s mine!”

Ye Bufan was filled with excitement. He sent the Gengjin Mother into the Dragon King Palace, then vanished into the Void Realm.

He had chosen to use a Clone to enter here instead of his true body, precisely for this moment, so that no trace would be left when he escaped.

Not long after he left, the Dragon Emperor’s figure appeared inside the prison cell.

Seeing that everything was gone, the Blood Jade Qilin had disappeared, and even the Gengjin Mother had been stolen, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Inside the silent prison cell, one could clearly hear the sound of his grinding teeth, indicating that he was furious to the extreme.

“Who is it? Who did it?!”

The Dragon Emperor’s cold gaze was filled with monstrous killing intent. The fact that he had imprisoned the Blood Jade Qilin here was a secret known to no one.

Moreover, for so many years, the Heavenly Prison, where even the Four Great Dragon Kings were not allowed to enter, had always been safe and undiscovered by anyone. How could such a situation suddenly occur?

As for the Blood Jade Qilin, he knew that it wouldn't die before passing on the kirin horn, and it was precisely by relying on this point that he had kept the other party firmly under his control for so many years.

But now the situation had changed. The Gengjin Mother was gone, the Blood Jade Qilin was gone, and the Formation had been completely broken.

“Damn it, I will never let you go!”

With a command from the Dragon Emperor, the entire Heavenly Prison was turned upside down from top to bottom. Besides one missing guard, nothing else was found.

Subsequently, a large-scale search was launched throughout the Dragon Palace, with three main targets: to find if there were any foreign Human Race individuals, if there were any Twelfth-Rank Immortal Array Masters proficient in Formations, and if there were any Immortal Emperor-Rank powerhouses. These were the overt actions, but privately, investigations were also conducted on the Dragon Clan’s powerhouses to check for any suspicion of involvement.
