Chapter 618 The Fire Cloud Rat Clan’s Situation
“It’s been more than three thousand years since our Crown Prince has been missing. His departure left us with no successor to continue the noble bloodline. I believe Senior should understand how important the bloodline’s purity is for us.” Huoyun Lingling said in a heavy tone.
While listening to her, Yun Lintian paid great attention to her expression, and he didn’t see any resentment coming from her. It seemed she didn’t blame Little Flame for his selfishness. However, Yun Lintian could not be certain about this. He still needed to observe more.
Yun Lintian nodded. “I understand this point. However, I am curious. How could your noble lineage have only one descendant? And even if it is the case, can’t you bring someone from the collateral lineage up? I believe the purity of the bloodline shouldn’t be much different, right?”
Huoyun Lingling went silent for a moment. She stared at Yun Lintian attentively and asked. “Senior is not a person from this continent. Am I correct?”
“Yes. To tell you the truth, I had just arrived on this continent not long ago.” Yun Lintian answered.
“No wonder.” Huoyun Lingling was enlightened. “What Senior said could be applied to other clans, but not our Fire Cloud Rat Clan. Our Fire Cloud Rat Bloodline has a restriction that we can only have one descendant throughout our lifetime.”
Yun Lintian’s brows raised in surprise. Guchang had never told him about this before. It was no wonder why Little Flame’s departure caused such a huge problem.
He looked at Huoyun Lingling and shifted his gaze onto Huoyun Yanyan in puzzlement. Since it was the case, how come she had a younger sister?
Huoyun Lingling seemed to see through Yun Lintian’s thoughts. She quickly explained. “Our case is special. We are twins. And because of this, our talents aren’t as good as others.”
Yun Lintian looked at the girls carefully and discovered their appearances were indeed similar. Because they had different hairstyles and temperaments, Yun Lintian didn’t notice this in the beginning.
Huoyun Lingling returned to the previous topic. “Because of this restriction, we usually have lower populations compared to other clans. And after the Crown Prince went missing, our number was even lower. Additionally, we have been hunted down by the Purple Winged Tiger Clan for several decades. We don’t have many left now.”
“This time, my sister and I secretly came out to find some herbs for our parents’ injuries. We didn’t expect those people to find us this fast.” Speaking to this point, Huoyun Lingling subconsciously clenched her fists in a fury.
Yun Lintian crossed his arms with a thoughtful expression. According to Guchang, the Sky Qilin Clan was sheltering the Fire Cloud Rat Clan at present. Why did they let the Purple Winged Tiger Clan keep bullying the Fire Cloud Rat Clan like this? Could it be it was just a facade?
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian asked directly. “From what I heard, the Sky Qilin Clan has intervened in the past. What about them now? Are they simply watching and doing nothing?”
Before Huoyun Lingling could say anything, Huoyun Yanyan spoke first with hatred. “They? They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. If it wasn’t because of them, how could the Purple Winged Tiger Clan dare to do this to us?” 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
“I see.” Yun Lintian couldn’t help shaking his head upon hearing this. Although he was surprised a bit to hear this, he didn’t feel anything wrong with it. It was understandable that these top clans tried to make themselves look like good people in order to maintain their reputation.
“Hmph! Can we go to them directly, Big Brother Yun? I want to see if they are really inheriting the Sky Qilin Bloodline.” Linlin snorted coldly when she heard this.
In the primordial time, the Sky Qilin could be considered a noble figure among the mythical beasts. Their character had always been kind and humble. These Sky Qilin’s remnants were entirely different from the memory she had. That was why she suspected they didn’t genuinely inherit the Sky Qilin Bloodline.
“Don’t worry. Big brother reckons we will eventually encounter them sooner or later.” A cold light flashed across Yun Lintian’s eyes.
Even though the relationship between Little Flame and him wasn’t deep, Yun Lintian always respected him from the bottom of his heart. The enemy of Little Flame’s clan was naturally his enemy as well. He didn’t mind wiping them off the world’s surface forever if the opportunity arose.
It was at this moment did Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan notice Linlin. At first glance, they believed Linlin was a simple snow tiger. However, the moment Linlin showed her anger earlier, they could obviously feel a powerful bloodline suppression coming out of her. This made them shiver uncontrollably.
Yun Lintian noticed this and patted Linlin’s head gently, letting her calm down. Linlin realized her mistake and quickly retracted her aura.
At this moment, Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan were already drenched in a cold sweat. Their complexions were pale as they tried to gasp for breaths.
Huoyun Lingling managed to calm down and asked with caution. “Senior, she….”
Yun Lintian replied calmly. “Do not tell this to anyone.”
Huoyun Lingling and her younger sister glanced at each other and hurriedly nodded their heads. “Don’t worry, Senior. We will never say a word.”
As Yun Lintian was about to say anything, he suddenly perceived a strong aura coming from a distance. Without a doubt, these people came from the Purple Winged Tiger Clan.
The expressions of Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan changed drastically. They quickly retreated to Yun Lintian’s side and prepared for the battle.
Swoosh!
A frown immediately appeared on the group leader’s face when he discovered Yun Lintian was actually human. Not the Deep Naga Sea clansmen, as he suspected.
“Was it you who killed my people?” The group leader asked. However, he soon felt it was ridiculous. After all, Yun Lintian was clearly at the seventh level of the Heaven Profound Realm. How could he kill someone at the peak of the Saint Profound Realm?
