......

Qingkong pulled out the beast-devouring sword stuck in the orc, and let out a muffled sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info followed, dark red blood slowly flowed down the groove of the sword body, but before the blood could flow to the tip of the sword, it gradually disappeared into the groove. It was as if there lived a bloodthirsty monster inside this sword, eating away at the stinking orc blood as a delicious meal. As the blood disappeared behind the sword, the Devourer seemed to be sharper again.

Qingkong didn't know that this was the first orc he had killed, he only knew that since he left the Keith family, the light on the beast devouring sword had not stopped flickering, and the "invisible cloak" on his body was useless at this time, because among these half-orcs there was a dog man with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, who had been biting his scent.

Qingkong wiped the fine sweat on his head, his body was a little unable to withstand the continuous attacks of the orcs, although with the beast devouring sword and the power of the phantom bloodline in his body, killing these orcs with only brute strength was like cutting vegetables, but even cutting vegetables should have a limit...... He rested against the roots of the huge ancient tree, and now he no longer had the extra strength to think about whether the ancient tree behind him was a trap or some other magical trick or something, only to chew the dry food brought out from the Keith family and swallow it one bite at a time, so far replenishing his strength was the first thing.

When his body recovered a little, his alertness also increased, and he continued to feel the movement around him with his senses. However, to his surprise, the orcs that had appeared in a steady stream suddenly disappeared without a trace in this field. He couldn't help but suspect that he had entered an area that he shouldn't have entered, and that it was extremely dangerous to break into the forbidden area in the treachery of the Cloud Forest, but Qingkong still remembered the advice that the head of the Belle family had left for him. So he immediately took out the magic map given to him by the head of the family, and followed his memories to find the route he had traveled on the map little by little.

As his fingers slid from the starting point of the Case family all the way to where he was now, he found that the Tulin family he was looking for was not far from his current location, and it seemed that he only needed to walk south for half a day to step into the realm of the Tulin family. No wonder the orcs who were disgusted by the phantom clan disappeared after arriving here, the Tulin family is a powerful and ancient family, and they will definitely have some kind of magic or illusion against the orcs around the realm like the Keith family, so they dare not go there. There are two sides to everything, although whether it is magic or illusion to stop the orcs from harassing them, but this also creates a hidden danger in the heart of the hollow, will these tricks that discourage the orcs also make themselves suffer?

But no matter how many hidden dangers there were, he knew that he would carry on his back, so he carefully looked at the map again, and then set off immediately.

Without the attacks and harassment of the orcs, the burden on Qingkong's heart was much lighter. The road was surprisingly quiet, and in order not to think too much about his worries, he began to think about how he should talk to the Tulin family when he arrived, and how to express his common feelings with the university scholars. He even thought about how to resolve the conflict between himself and them, if he had a fat company at the moment, then he would have a lot more confidence.

Thinking of this, Qingkong couldn't help but put his finger to his lips and blew the sound of the deed that he never dared to try.

The chirping sounded far away in the ancient forest, but there was no response except for a few cries of birds and beasts. Disappointment was evident on Qingkong's face, mixed with deep sadness - he never wanted to believe that the fall after being besieged by the Dark Coalition had become his last goodbye to the fat man. His affection for Fat is no less than that of Deer and University Scholars, and although he has only been with Fat for a few months until now, he has become his most loyal friend. They don't have a bloodline contract relationship between the Terran traditional master and the dragon master, at least not so far, but entirely through an emotional exchange. Although this also greatly reduces the power of human-to-dragon cooperation, it is this human-like emotion that can make fat little be born and die for himself.

The sound of the deed dissipated, but the sadness in the sky had not yet dissipated. But he still kept them to his heart, and since the university scholars sacrificed their lives to protect them, he knew how to control them, whether it was grief or longing...... Even for countless nights before, they had invaded themselves like night.

Moving on, Sky held the map in one hand and the Devourer Sword in the other, and although it seemed dimmer than usual without the presence of orcs, he would rather see a sword without a glimmer than deal with those monsters. He looked at the map, and his blue eyes suddenly lit up, because he realized that this magic map was not as simple as he imagined - the route on it would change with his own movement! It was like a magnifying glass on it, and the route below each section of the road would automatically extend, and he could see the road ahead.

Qingkong couldn't help but regret that he didn't listen to the words of the head of the Belle family at the beginning, and studied the map and route carefully, knowing that this map had such a magical function, maybe he could avoid those orcs along the way.

Qingkong followed the guidance of the map, but in fact he was walking on a "road" that was not a road, because valleys, streams, and rivers would often pop up in front of him...... But the illusion never bothered him, but not necessarily without the map. In this way, he walked for most of the day with little rest, and finally came to the sphere of influence marked by the Tulin family on the map, but suddenly he found that there was no road ahead!

Yes, there was no road ahead, and he looked at the front with serious and suspicious eyes. An incredible spectacle appeared before him—a great fissure rising from the ground, blocking his way, and he could not cross the abyssal ravine unless he had wings. However, Qingkong decided that this must be an illusion created by illusion, because it was impossible for a rift to appear out of thin air in this ancient forest, and he had also encountered such an illusion in the Dragon Valley that deviated greatly from the surrounding environment and could be seen through at a glance. Thinking of this, Qing Kong no longer hesitated in his heart, he only needed to walk over with a fearless face, and the illusion would be self-defeating.

But the closer he got to the edge of the rift, the more uneasy his heart fluctuated, because everything in front of him was too real. He began to feel his way to the edge of the rift, and there was a lot of rubble under his feet. Suddenly, as he moved, he accidentally kicked a stone at his feet into the air, and the stone arced in the air and landed above the rift, but instead of stopping, it rolled into the rift and disappeared without a trace (if it was a rift created by illusion, the stone would not fall because it was originally flat ground).

The stone seemed to give Qingkong an obvious hint, and it also made him think a terrible thought: is this rift real? This is a fantasy, yes, but it is not a simple illusion that blinds the vision, but an illusion that even the space is integrated into? This kind of ulterior motive design makes Qingkong can't help but admire the methods of the person who casts this illusion. It is conceivable that the reason for creating a fantasy with a large contrast with the surrounding environment is that the trespasser can recognize that it is an illusion, and then walk through it with confidence and boldness, and finally fall into the trap he has carefully designed.

It's terrifying, that's what the Tulin family does. Qingkong looked at the bottomless abyss below, although he knew that it was possible that it was not deep under the disguise of illusion, but it was possible that what awaited him was a net of heaven and earth. He had to look at the map to find other routes, but there were no other routes marked on the map, but it was clearly marked that the Tulin family's sphere of influence was ahead.

Helplessly, Qingkong could only continue to search along the edge of the rift, but in fact, even he didn't know what he was looking for. After walking along the edge for a long time, Qingkong found that the edge of this deep and wide rift was protruding at the top and sunken below, and there was no place to settle down if he wanted to climb down, let alone a place to climb. Just as he couldn't figure out how to fix it, ahead of him, he vaguely saw a notch, which was extremely noticeable at the neat edges.

Sky felt strange that he hadn't noticed anything different when he had just glanced at his surroundings. He walked briskly over and found that there was a path that led slowly to the bottom. The road is paved with neat rocks, not like a natural formation, it stretches into the darkness with no end in sight.

Could it be that someone found him and deliberately set aside a path so that he could fall into the net?, Qingkong began to wonder, but no matter what, he knew that he had to go down this path, and even if he was caught by the Tulin family, he would not worry, because it would save him all the trouble caused by looking for them everywhere.

It was much easier to think about the sky like this, and he leaned over and slowly walked down the path, the rock walls on both sides were still sunken in, so except for the road under his feet, both sides of his body were empty, as if he was stepping on the air.

He kept walking down, the surrounding environment did not change, the darkness below was still unreachable, and although the rift above was getting farther and farther away from him, he couldn't tell if there was any change after he was gone for a long time. He walked endlessly, but there was never an end point for him to look forward to, and he gradually became a little tired, and his body was a little tired. But perhaps it was at this moment of confusion that he could figure things out better, and Qingkong suddenly had a bold idea in his mind: in fact, he had already reached the end of the rift.

He stared sharply into the darkness below, then at the rift above his head, the distance that hadn't changed confirmed his guess even more, he had been standing still for so long. But why exactly? If someone deliberately set aside a path for themselves to come to the door, why didn't they show up, but let themselves waste time and energy all the time......

Suddenly, the alertness of a person after the loss of physical strength is the worst. But this thought still kept him hidden, and he still pretended to know everything, and continued to walk slowly. After walking for a while, he pretended to stretch, but he was already tired but not sleepy, and then he fell down the path that stretched downward, so that he could lead them to appear.

Qing Kong's heart was uneasy, he didn't know if he guessed correctly, and he didn't know what awaited him. Therefore, he squinted his eyes slightly, and at the same time sensed all the movements around him.

Even more uncomfortable than waiting is the ignorant waiting, but fortunately, the guess was correct. A light sound of footsteps was detected by his senses, and at the same time, the image around him began to change in his slightly squinted eyes, and he could roughly see that this was a small valley, disguised by their illusion as a wide and deep rift, not the illusion that he imagined that even space could be integrated into it.

"I'll just say, no matter how strong this person is, he will eventually fall in our illusion......" said with a foreign accent to Qingkong, with a smug tone.

"Quietly, he just fell asleep, haven't you seen the power of his sword?

The other rebuked in a low voice, and then responded in silence, only muffled footsteps slowly approached.

Their conversation surprised Qingkong, it turned out that the group of people had already noticed him, and even the sword in his hand was also noticed by them to be different.

The sound was getting closer and closer, but in fact, Qingkong's perception was very strong, and the two men walked for a long time before they came to his side. Qingkong felt the two of them carefully examine him, and then a pair of cold iron chains were clasped around his wrists, and at the same time, the beast devouring sword at his waist was also taken away, and Qingkong was also awakened, looking at them in horror.

Standing in front of him were two men of medium stature, with nothing unusual in their faces, except for a pair of turquoise eyes that shocked Qing Kong's heart. This also made him sure that he had come to the realm of the Tulin family, and they should be the guards of the Tulin family.

One of the two guards had been watching his Devourer Sword with a greedy look on his face, while the other had looked directly at him with direct vigilance.

"Who are you, why did you trespass into our family's domain?!" the vigilant guard asked, but his face was clouded with suspicion when he saw the color of his eyes, which were the same color as theirs.

He had been asked countless times along the way, "Who are you, where are you from, why did you come to us?", and each time he could answer happily, but this time he was speechless. How should I answer? Half of his bloodline belongs here, but the other half belongs to Qingyun City, he is the heir of the Tulin family master, but at the same time he is the second young master of Qingyun City.

Qingkong's silence caused the dissatisfaction of the two, and the guard who had been watching the sword just now looked even more majestic.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, he can't be said to be a spy sent by the Dark Alliance to spy on our family, and he will be put on death row!" he said righteously.

The other guard looked at him sharply and said unceremoniously, "I think you want to take his sword for yourself, right?"

"Where...... Don't talk nonsense!"

"You know that he used this sword to kill a lot of lackeys and orcs of the Dark Alliance, and you still came to such a conclusion?"

"Uh...... I'm not looking at him not telling the truth, in ...... Are you scaring him......"

The righteous guard stopped talking nonsense with him, turned to look at the sky, and said, "Since he doesn't speak, then drag him to the head of the family and let the head of the family dispose of it!"

When he heard this, his heart was filled with joy, which was exactly what he was looking forward to, and sometimes not speaking could achieve unexpected results.

In this way, Qingkong was led by the two guards with the iron chain in their hands. During this period, Qingkong tentatively broke free from the iron chain, and found that it was just an ordinary iron chain, as long as he used a little blood force to break free, in case of a critical moment. The true location of the Tulin family is even more complicated than Qingkong imagined, during which they pass through no less than ten illusions, as well as various traps, without the guidance of these two guards, even if they have a map in their hands, they cannot easily find it.

After a long journey, the fog cleared, and the city of clouds appeared in front of him.

In the eyes of the sky, the main city built in the forest, although huge and boundless, is slightly gloomy......

The guards in front of the gate carefully examined them, and it was understandable that in this realm of the Phantom Clan, they would not be able to obtain the qualifications for passage based on their appearance alone.

After entering the City of Cloud Tricks, Qingkong was taken into a secret place by two guards and locked up before he could see a single sight in the city. The long wait made Qingkong a little impatient, and he kept wandering inside, but he never dared to take a single step.

Finally, there was movement outside, and the guard came in and gave him a complicated look, then walked out with his chains. Whether they did it deliberately or not, they walked down a path, and under the shade of the shady trees, they passed left and right, and finally came to a huge palace. You don't have to think about it to know that this must be the palace of the Tulin family master.

On the long staircase stood two rows of heavily armed guards, and Qingkong could deeply feel that their strength should not be underestimated. At the end of the long staircase is the gate of the palace, which is strange to Qingkong and is several meters high, I don't know why it was built so huge.

When he was led into the main hall by the guards, he found that there were already several people inside, and the one on the top of the throne was the famous head of the Tulin family, Kerry Tulin. Qingkong had never seen this legendary figure who had participated in the Battle of Zhongzhou, was famous and had a blood connection to himself. And now this legend is sitting in front of him, although no one tells him, but he is sure. The head of the Kerry family's purple hair was slightly gray, and his serious expression looked even more majestic against the blue eyes.

The arrival of the sky made everyone in the hall look at him. Some with disdain, some with doubt, and more with vigilance. It seems that everyone thinks that he is not visiting here with some good purpose. Among these people, the suspicious eyes belonged to the Kerry family master, and the reason was the color of the eyes that Qingkong possessed, and his gaze had not left it since he was brought into the main hall.

Under the gaze, the fearless Sky was led by the guards to the center of the main hall and stopped.

"Boy, who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to our family's realm?" the tone of the head of the Kerry family, although not aggressive, carried an inviolable majesty.

It was entirely to be expected, and it was a question he had been answering for a long time, but he still hadn't figured out how to answer this complicated relationship.

Seeing that the boy in front of him was still ignoring his own problems, Kerry's face was replaced by anger, he had heard of everything the boy had done on his own territory, but even killing countless of their mortal enemies could not offset his sin of trespassing on his own territory. But his turquoise eyes made Kerry think there must be some reason for this.

"Father, I don't think there's any need to talk nonsense with him, just throw him on death row!" a middle-aged man sitting next to the head of the Cree family said disdainfully, "The scholars of Tyre University have all confirmed that the sword that this kid is carrying is the beast devouring sword belonging to the Keith family, so he must have been sent by that group of scheming deer clan to our family territory to spy on the news!"

The middle-aged man's purple hair soared into the sky, and his green eyes shone with fine light, and he looked at a centenarian old man sitting on the other side, who was Tyr, a university scholar of the Tulin family.

"Yes, my lord. The Tyre scholar admitted, pale hand holding the sword that had been stolen from the sky.

"I have carefully examined this sword, and compared it with the records of the annals, this sword is the sword forged by the Jungle Prophet - Luma Keyes from ancient flame steel and magic, called - Beast Eater, it ......"

"I know. Kerry interrupted the old man's murmuring remarks, and his eyes were no longer as peaceful as they had been, although they had no trouble with the Casers, but everything became sensitive at this moment.

The hall instantly became quiet, and with the evidence of the Beast Devouring Sword, it seemed that everyone thought that the young man in front of him was a spy of the Keith family who had come to do something with bad intentions. But what Qingkong said next surprised everyone.

"My name is Qingkong, and I'm from Qingyun City. Qingkong let out a sigh and finally spoke.

There was a brief silence, and it was Joel who spoke first, "What...... Qingyun City?" He tried to restrain his deep anger, and these words seemed to awaken the past ten years ago.

"Terran. Kerry said slowly. His face was expressionless, but deep down there was an emotion that was agitating little by little.

"Qingyun City...... I heard that you are under siege by the Dark Alliance, so you are here to take refuge, right?" said Joel through gritted teeth. It was the former young city lord of this city who took away his beloved sister, and he was still alone in middle age, and he couldn't untie this knot in his heart, so even if he heard about the Terrans of any force, he would hate itchy.

"No," there was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the Tyre scholars, "As far as I know, among the physiognomy characteristics of the major families of the human race for thousands of years, the color of the eyes has never been turquoise, but this young man is turquoise, and ...... He also holds the family heirloom sword of the House of Case. ”

Qingkong looked at Kerry in the high seat, and suddenly he took a step forward.

"The color of my eyes is due to my mother. ”

The sudden remark made Kerry's resolute cheeks move slightly, and even Joel on the side seemed to realize something, after all, the people here knew everything about the incident more than ten years ago.

"Your ...... Mother?" Kerry's tone trembled.

"Wen Lan Tulin. ”

It was not easy for Qingkong to say this name, his background was told to him by a scholar of Muyuan University not long ago, so this name was actually very unfamiliar to him.

The hall fell silent again, and unlike before, a strong shock could be felt on their faces.

"You say...... Is your mother Lan'er?" asked Kerry, holding back the emotions in his heart.

Qingkong nodded, no longer hiding any emotion, took out the half-sized ornament from his arms, and held it to his chest. Joel's expression changed as soon as he saw what he was holding, as if someone had robbed him of something.

Kerry also glanced at what was in his hand and confirmed his identity.

"Hmph, what if you're her son?" Kerry suppressed the emotion in his heart and replaced it with a tough tone, "She and I broke off our blood ties more than ten years ago, so we don't have anything to do with the Tulin family anymore. The danger of the siege of Qingyun City is your business, and we have nothing to do with it, and if she asked you to ask us for help, it would be a bad decision......"

How could Kerry's transformation not be noticed, but the sad thing was that they didn't know that their mother had already passed away, and Qingyun City was already in ruins.

"Ladies and gentlemen," called out in the most distant of tones, "I have not come here on the behest of my mother, but unfortunately she ...... Passed away. ”

This news spread like a thunderbolt from the sky throughout the hall, and whether it was true or not, it made everyone else silent.

"Over...... Kerry's voice was like a dragon whispering, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Yes, Mother died because of us. ”

"We?" said Kerry, leaning forward, the emotion burning in his heart.

Qingkong knew that he couldn't help but explain it clearly at this time, so he told him about the things that the scholar of Muyuan University had told him about his bloodline, including his own speculation that his mother died because of him.

"You...... You...... Nonsense!" Joel suddenly became furious, every word he said was like cutting his skin, his green eyes glowed red, especially when he heard that his sister had died because of him, "Come on, come on, put this man on death row!"

But Joel's mania didn't get anything in return, and despite his noble status, he wasn't the one to call the shots as long as Kerry was here. Finding that no one was listening to him, he was even more furious, and he rushed into the sky with one arrow step. No one expected his move, Kerry could only secretly scream bad when he realized that it was too late, Joel's strength was still clear to him, he had reached the illusion level, he only needed to use the level of illusion power to destroy the boy in front of him...... Just as he was trying his best to undo the tragedy, the young man in front of him made a move that surprised him.

Qingkong looked coldly at Joel who rushed over, this man who was still his elder showed no mercy. The power of the blood veins in his body surged instantly, and the iron chains at his wrists were suddenly freed from him, and at the same time, he stretched out two hands covered with green silk and met them fearlessly.

Their hands briefly joined together with a muffled sound, before bouncing them both apart and back into place.

The change came so suddenly, everyone's minds didn't keep up with what was happening in front of them, and the shock was written on their faces. Kerry looked at the two dragon-like filaments in the sky, his arms wrapped around them, and he had a thoughtful expression. And Joel was even more annoyed at the moment, he originally thought that it would be enough to clean up the magic power of the Terran boy in front of him, but he didn't expect it...... He can actually use the same magic power.

"In that case...... Then pay for your sister with your life......" Joel suddenly had a trace of blood red in his blue eyes, and his whole body trembled. As soon as Kerry saw him like this, his pupils instantly widened, and he secretly screamed badly, but before he could do anything, he saw Joel's body suddenly twist, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a pale cyan dragon. Kerry didn't expect his son to be so reckless, it didn't take long for him to reach the strength of the illusion, so he used it so badly, this was undoubtedly to make his body unable to withstand the powerful consumption and burst his blood.

At this time, Qingkong's eyes were also clouded with a layer of danger, and he understood that Joel, who had transformed into a dragon, was not something he could compete with, so he quickly retreated backwards and couldn't sit still.

Although his strength was not as strong as Joel, who transformed into a dragon, his speed was still comparable, and he fled from the main hall in an instant, but Joel, who was deeply angry, also followed. At this time, Qingkong finally understood why the door of the main hall was so huge, probably to cope with this scene. He didn't have time to think about anything more, and Joel pulled it out like a sharp claw. Sky didn't believe that the head of the Kerry family would let Joel kill him, but he couldn't quench his thirst, especially since it was an angry beast that was close behind.

Just when the sky was cornered, a roaring chirp came from afar, and quickly flashed in front of him, pushing the menacing Joel straight back. Unable to withstand the illusion state, he flew far away, and returned to his original body in the air. But fortunately, Kerry, who came from behind, held him up in time, and even then Joel staggered back a long way before stopping.

The others also came out one after another, and even the surrounding guards all gathered around. Because in front of them was a huge dragon with colored scaly armor and colored pupils......

"Fat Small...... Hypertrophy...... You don't have ...... Didn't leave me. Qingkong said with a shudder as he looked at the much larger dragon.

The colorful dragon shook its massive head in response, baring its jagged fangs at the enemy in front of him who had forced the sky here, and a stream of dragon breath was about to shoot out...... And the surrounding Tulin family guards also attacked each other with swords, and there was no shortage of thick bows and crossbows.

"Don't, Fatty!" Sky stopped it in time, and looked at the Kerry Master with deep meaning.

Kerry looked at Sky and his dragon in the same way, his deep eyes unsure of what was going on in his eyes. Eventually, he let go of Joel's hand, and the guards behind him hurriedly took it.

"Don't mess around!" Kerry said in an unmistakable tone, "he's from our Tourin family. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
