An Ascension Member was actually rescued from the Feixing Pavilion?

Within a day, this news had spread to the entire Juluan City causing quite a big ruckus.

Who dared to do something like this and actually make a move in the Feixing Pavilion?

In the past ten thousand years, anyone who wanted to rescue a criminal from the Feixing Pavilion had never even made it past the main door before getting utterly destroyed by the mighty being stationed in that town.

For a moment, some were impressed by the person that managed to save someone from the Feixing Pavilion, while others were annoyed. Overall, most were excited for what was going to happen next. There were even gambling dens that started a bet on when this mysterious man would be caught by the Feixing Pavilion.

When Rong Yuan heard about the bet, he asked Tianfeng Jin for ten thousand high-grade god stones and placed his bet on them never being able to find the mysterious man.

Xin Yi called him out for being cunning. When Gu Lingzhi rescued Qin Xinran, she was using Pan Yue’s face, it would be impossible for the Feixing Pavilion to catch her.

Qin Xinran’s rescue had thrown the Feixing Pavilion into chaos. Gu Lingzhi had transported Qin Xinran into her Inheritance Space and had swiftly escaped the Feixing Pavilion before the upper-class True God had arrived.

She then got rid of her pursuers that were following her and found a quiet spot to change her appearance back. She then strolled confidently past her pursuers and headed back to the Feixing Pavilion to meet up with Rong Yuan and returned to the Zhuo Family’s residence.

Zhuo Haotian was no doubt Tianfeng Jin’s number one fan. As soon as they returned to where Tianfeng Jin was staying, he immediately rushed up and asked them suggestively if what happened at the Feixing Pavilion was because of them?

At this, the group replied, “No.”

“How can it not be? Other than you guys, who would go to so much trouble to rescue an Ascension Member?” Zhuo Haotian asked suspiciously.

Rong Yuan twisted his lips, “Maybe they have never seen an Ascension Member and rescued them out of excitement.”

“Liar.” Zhuo Haotian did not fall for it and brought up another point, “If it wasn’t you guys that rescued them, you would not be so calm.”

Who knew that Zhuo Haotian was actually rather perceptive?

Gu Lingzhi smiled slightly, “That’s because the one that was caught was not even an Ascension Member.”

“Eh?” Zhuo Haotian blinked, “But I heard that Hunting Cat was the one that caught the person, how can he catch the wrong person?”

“Why can’t he catch the wrong person? Is he very strong?” Gu Lingzhi continued the conversation by asking Zhuo Haotian. He had taken her friend captive and was about to trade her like a good, how can she let it go with just rescuing Qin Xinran?

“You haven’t heard of Hunting Cat?” Zhuo Haotian gave a look of pity to Gu Lingzhi as if saying that she was too uninformed. However, he quickly got rid of that look as Tianfeng Jin threw him a cold glare and he remembered that they had just come from the Tianyuan Continent. It was normal for them to not have heard of Hunting Cat. His eyes then lit up as he found a use for himself.

In an extremely dramatic voice, Zhuo Haotian then told them the entire background of Hunting Cat, including how many criminals he had caught and how many people he offended. He also told them in detail why he enjoyed catching criminals on the wanted list and never got tired of it.

When he got to the end, he took a sip of tea to wet his lips and sighed, “Sigh, but Hunting Cat is also quite pitiful. His entire family was killed by criminals on the wanted list. Hence, it is normal for him to develop hatred towards anyone on that list.”

“I see...” Gu Lingzhi lowered her head and fell deep in thought as she stared at the tea in her cup.

Zhuo Haotian continued to linger for a while. However, seeing that Gu Lingzhi and the rest had no intentions of telling him about Qin Xinran, he left unhappily.

After confirming that he was not going to return, Gu Lingzhi finally let Qin Xinran out of the Inheritance Space.

Having stayed in the space for a while, Qin Xinran no longer looked as exhausted as she did earlier. As soon as she appeared in the room, she smiled and hugged Gu Lingzhi and Tianfeng Jin, “Lingzhi, Xiao Jin, I thought I would never see you again!”

“How can that be?” Gu Lingzhi smiled as she patted Qin Xinran’s head, “We agreed that we would seek revenge with Pan Luo together, how can we not have you with us?”

“That’s true.” Qin Xinran chuckled as she suddenly sucked in a breath of air and bent over clutching her stomach.

Gu Lingzhi immediately retrieved Spiritual Medicine for Qin Xinran to take. She placed her fingers on Qin Xinran’s pulse and examined her injury. She spoke sharply, “Hunting Cat! I will not forgive him!”

Examining Qin Xinran’s internal spiritual energy, Gu Lingzhi realized that Qin Xinran’s body was not as strong as before.

Her usual free-flowing pulse channel had been blocked by a mess of spiritual energy and there were over a hundred internal injuries in her. This was not something that could have been done in a short period of time.

It is no wonder that Qin Xinran was so subdued when she was being dragged through the Feixing Pavilion. Her pulse channels had been severely impeded. Even if she wanted to fight back, she would not be able to activate her spiritual energy.

“That darn Hunting Cat, did he abuse you?”

Tianfeng Jin’s expression immediately changed as she used her other free hand to examine Qin Xinran’s body. Detecting the numerous internal injuries in Qin Xinran, a murderous look overtook her, “He is going to die!”

“These injuries have nothing to do with him.” Qin Xinran took back her hand hesitantly as she tried to avoid looking at them.

“Are you standing up for him?” Gu Lingzhi raised her brows.

Qin Xinran snorted, “It really has nothing to do with him. These injuries were caused by other people who were chasing me earlier. Actually, Hunting Cat can even be said to be my savior. If he did not find that group, I don’t know how much more torture I could bear.”

When Qin Xinran ascended, she was extremely unlucky and met with a notorious gang.

All these people were famous on the wanted list and as soon as they saw Qin Xinran, they immediately thought of the task that Deity King Pan Luo had issued urgently.

Although they were all wanted as well, that did not stop them from using Qin Xinran to get god stones.

Hence, Qin Xinran did not even have time to breathe before she was running for her life.

Most of her injuries were from that time. In the end, she was severely outnumbered and was caught by them. Because she had injured a few of them when she was fleeing, they had turned around and taught her a lesson.

Thereafter, Hunting Cat had recognised them as they were bringing Qin Xinran to the Feixing Pavilion to exchange for god stones. The entire group was almost killed and it was at this point when Qin Xinran became Hunting Cat’s prey. They then met Gu Lingzhi.

Hearing what Qin Xinran went through, Gu Lingzhi’s heart ached, “Although that is the case, he was still going to exchange you like an object. We can’t let him go so easily.”

“That’s right, we didn’t even do anything wrong. Just because Pan Luo placed us on the wanted list himself, everyone just assumes that we are criminals. Do they think that we are easily bullied just because we are from the Tianyuan Continent?” Xin Yi huffed. He then told Qin Xinran about their plan to start a clan and get all the Ascension Members from the Tianyuan Continent back.

Qin Xinran’s eyes lit up as she heard him and her cute pair of canines could be seen as she smiled slightly, “Do you all have anywhere in mind for the address of the clan? If not, I have a suggestion.”

“Where?”

“It is a spiritual mountain that is about a seven-day journey from here.”

The place that Qin Xinran mentioned was the place where she first appeared when she ascended. It was where the gang of criminals were hiding and they definitely did not randomly choose that place to hide. The spiritual energy in the mountain was concentrated. Most importantly, no one owned the place, making it extremely suitable to set up a clan.

Under Qin Xinran’s lead, the group informed Zhuo Rong the next day that they were leaving and bought four travelling beasts. They headed towards their destination. Within five days, they had reached the mountain that Qin Xinran mentioned.

“There are mountains and clear water. The spiritual energy is also thick. This place is really not bad.” Gu Lingzhi praised her as she breathed in the fresh mountain air.

Most of the mountains in the Realm of the Gods that have so much spiritual energy have already been claimed by others. There were very few mountains left that were of good quality. This one that Qin Xinran recommended was definitely above average.

It was even better than the mountains that Zhuo Rong had recommended and those mountains needed to be bought.

This mountain range was at least a few hundred miles wide and the peak of the mountains reached past the clouds.

The few of them levitated towards the peak of the mountain. Surprisingly, the peak of the mountain was wide and flat. They just needed to fix things up a little and they would be able to build houses on it.

From what they knew, the structure of the Realm of the Gods was completely different from the Tianyuan Continent.

The Realm of the Gods did not have different schools. Instead, they had numerous training clans. Anyone who possessed Spiritual Roots and wanted to train could join any of the clans. Most of the clans were built on mountains that were filled with dense spiritual energy.

After examining the place, the few of them were extremely satisfied with it. Gu Lingzhi looked around the perimeter and realised that it was connected to the Thousand Mountains Range and was even more satisfied.

Before this, she was still afraid that the clan’s location would be too far from the Thousand Mountains Range and it would be inconvenient for her to go to the Thousand Mountains Range to increase her cultivation. This was perfect.

The address of the clan was hence settled in this manner. As this clan was meant for Ascension Members to come and seek refuge, they decided to call it the “Gui Yuan Clan” (T/N: Gui means ‘to return’, and Yuan refers to ‘Tianyuan Continent’) in order for those from Tianyuan Continent to distinguish it easily. The clan leader was Tianfeng Jin while the vice clan leader was Xin Yi.

When Gu Lingzhi announced this decision, both Tianfeng Jin and Xin Yi were disagreeable. However, Gu Lingzhi shut them up by saying that Pan Luo most likely knew her and Rong Yuan’s name.

The address and name of the clan had been decided. After they sent the information into the badge given by the Feixing Pavilion, they went to the nearest Feixing Pavilion to complete their registration. The Gui Yuan Clan was officially created.

As for the building of their clan, Zhuo Rong had sent a large amount of god stones as soon as he knew that they had selected a place. He also sent a group of talented builders. It made Gu Lingzhi sigh in amazement at how Tianfeng Jin had managed to rescue someone of such a calibre? She had clearly rescued a gold mountain.

The building of the clan proceeded as smoothly as water flowed. Gu Lingzhi did not waste any time as she headed to the Thousand Mountains Range nearby to train.

Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan were abnormal in the sense that they trained their physical body to be as strong as their cultivation level. To others, the Thousand Mountains Range seemed like hell, but to them it was just slightly troublesome. Bringing Tianfeng Jin with them was not a problem.
