Chapter 4268 Poem of Divinition

Seeing him say that, City Lord Gu said, “Send someone to the city to ask around!” With that, and without saying much else, he took a step and headed out.

“Inquire? Inquire about what?” The people in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what they meant.

City Lord Jiang paused for a moment, then called for someone, and after giving his orders to his subordinates, he said to the several people who were still chatting amongst themselves, “Please go ahead and rest first!”

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, the people nodded their heads and headed out, only confiding, “If you find out anything, remember to let us know.”

On the other side, after Feng Jiu and the others came to the resting place, when the Steward retired, Du Fan told Feng Jiu about the matter.

“That Tiger Wang is a person that belongs to the underground force in the city. Well, that team didn’t want to put the matter to rest, so we simply went to their nest directly. This force mainly relies on their strength to do evil, hence many forces in this city don’t dare to be hostile with them head on. They are all relying on the Nascent Soul Old Predecessor who is behind them, so after we found that underground force, and seeing that they did not intend to stop there, we uprooted their confidence and backing and abolished the Nascent Soul Old Predecessor’s cultivation. So now, the strongest of this force is only a Golden Core Cultivator, which is no longer enough to run rampant in this city.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded her head, “Well, it’s fine if things are taken care of.” As she said that, she glanced towards Wang Yu and said, “You can head back to rest first.”

“Yes.” Wang Yu responded, and only then did he retreat. He knew that he was not her subordinate after all, and there were many things that she avoided discussing when he was around.

Feng Jiu signalled for Du Fan and the others to sit down before she asked, “Have you gained anything from the books I asked you to look through?” She asked while playing with the soft snow-white fur of the little fox lying contently on her lap.

“This is something I was thinking of finding time to report to the Master.” Du Fan smiled and said, “I did have some gains, in City Lord Gu’s library, there is a record that there is indeed a Qilin in this Qilin Mountain, which is exactly the contracted beast of the Monarchs of this realm back in those years. There is not much of a discrepancy between that and what City Lord Gu said.”

“However, the records of the battle of the two Monarchs were wiped out and I couldn’t find the identity of the other Monarch. I looked through the ancient records but did not find any relevant information at all. There is one particular poem though, which I think may be the ancient Qilin’s hiding place, and it also indicated that Master was predestined to come here. ”

“Oh? What poem?” Feng Jiu asked curiously.

“It was written by a cultivator who was skilled in divinations and that tattered ancient manual contains this poem: The ancient Qilin, dwells in a magma cave, in slumber for ten thousand years, its awakening will eventually come. And at the back of this poem there were also these words: The deviant star moves, the Phoenix Sovereign appears.”

Listening to these words, Feng Jiu was slightly surprised, “The world is really strange and unfathomable. This person’s skills are extraordinary.” Across the realms, who knew that she would appear at this time? And also meet the ancient Qilin here? One could only say that the person who divined the fate of heaven was too powerful.

Du Fan nodded his head and said, “It’s just that, I didn’t see any magma caves in Qilin Mountain on that map, and I checked with City Lord Gu, and he didn’t seem to have seen this poem and he said that there were no magma caves in that Qilin Mountain either.”

“That’s why they searched for so many years and could not find a trace of the Qilin.”
