1275 Find Me Bai Xutao!

"This egg is Feng Feng? How on earth…" Yuan approached the egg and inspected it with more attention, and sure enough, he could sense his connection with Feng Yuxiang inside the egg, albeit a bit faint.

"How did this happen?" he turned to look at Xi Meili.

Xi Meili released a sigh and proceeded to explain the whole situation to him.

"You see… Shortly after you left, we wandered the city and were approached by someone from the Immortal Clans— the Heavenly White Tiger Clan. That person wanted us to spend some time with him, but we refused. One thing led to another, and we ended up fighting this person."

"This person was incredibly powerful— so powerful that even when working together, we couldn't defeat him. Things got crazy, and we ended up unsealing our cultivation past Spirit King."

"However, because only Spirit Kings and below are allowed in the Third Heaven, we'd essentially broken a rule of heaven, which provoked a Heavenly Tribulation. I managed to survive my tribulation, but Feng Yuxiang wasn't as lucky, as her tribulation was much more powerful than mine since it calculated her true strength even though she had her powers suppressed."

"In the end, she entered this state, which she will remain until she recovers from her injuries."

Yuan was speechless after learning about the situation.

"What kind of bullshit is this…?" he muttered in a cold voice.

"You guys were simply protecting yourselves from that bastard, yet you were the ones punished for it?"

His body trembled in anger, and the atmosphere in the cabin changed drastically with the temperature dropping like an anchor in water.

When Dong Ye sensed the intense bloodlust within Yuan's aura, his body shivered from excitement, as it reminded him of the Evil God during the war.

"So, you're the ones who caused all that ruckus in the city, huh," Yuan mumbled a moment later.

"T-That was mostly the Heavenly White Tiger's fault! He recklessly used his powers, destroying the city and killing hundreds of innocent people!"

"I know, you don't have to tell me." Yuan said, and he continued, "You're not at fault here, so don't blame yourself for what happened to that city and those people. In fact, you're also the victims here."

He turned to Dong Ye and asked, "The Immortal Clans, tell me about them."

Dong Ye nodded and repeated what he told Xi Meili sometime ago, "The Immortal Clans are derived from the Supreme Beings that followed the Immortal Monarch— your liege— in the past. They are basically their descendants, and they are essentially royalty within the world of beasts."

"The Immortal Clans used to be noble clans that would continue the Immortal Monarch's legacy by improving the relationship between humans and beasts even after his disappearance. Unfortunately, they are just a bunch of selfish and arrogant pricks nowadays that abuse their power and influence, smearing the Immortal Monarch's name and legacy."

"The Heavenly White Tiger Clan is one of these Immortal Clans. Their ancestor was a loyal servant of the Immortal Monarch, someone I greatly admired. While they may not be as influential as some other Immortal Clans, they are undoubtedly one of the most powerful in terms of sheer strength."

Yuan nodded and inquired for more details, "What can you tell me about the bastard who attacked them?"

"His name is Bai Xutao. He's the sixth oldest among over fifty children in the clan. He's quite notorious in the upper heavens as the Heavenly White Tiger Clan's number-one troublemaker and a lecherous playboy who pursues any beauty he encounters. In terms of strength, he ranks as the third strongest among his siblings."

"His bloodline is very pure, only second to the eldest in the family, so the clan treasures him and overlooks many of his deeds. His cultivation is currently suppressed to Spirit King, but his true cultivation is at 1st level Immortal Ascension. He cultivates the Heavenly White Tiger Clan's secret technique that can only be taught to those with a strong bloodline."

Dong Ye spoke of Bai Xutao in great detail, almost as though he had investigated Bai Xutao to extreme lengths for many years.

"Then where can I find him?" Yuan inquired at the end.

"I will seek him out if that is your command." Dong Ye said.

"Please do. I won't leave the Third Heaven until I make him pay for hurting my precious companions."

"My liege…" Dong Ye seemed a little bit worried after hearing his words.

"Immortal Ascension? How far up is that compared to a Spirit King?" Xi Meili suddenly asked.

"That would be twelve entire realms. Above Spirit King is Spirit Emperor, then Spirit Sovereign, and lastly, Spirit Enlightenment. Past Spirit Enlightenment is the Divine Realm, which consists of nine separate realms. It is also what most people in the upper heavens call the true beginning of cultivation. At the end of the Divine Realm is the Immortal Ascension realm, and only after Immortal Ascension could one be considered an Immortal Cultivator."

"That's a lot of realms…" Xi Meili was speechless.

Dong Ye nodded, "That's why I highly advise against approaching Bai Xutao now, my liege. Although you may have the upper hand with his suppressed cultivation, you won't stand a chance against him if he gets even a little serious."

Yuan remained resolute and mumbled, "So I have a good chance at killing him before he unseals his powers, huh? That's good enough for me."

Dong Ye's eyes widened at his words and quickly responded, "My liege, until you have enough power to deal with the entire Heavenly White Tiger Clan, you should refrain from doing something so drastic and reckless. I understand that you are angry, but even I won't be able to protect you if the Heavenly White Tiger Clan were to seriously come after you for killing their treasured child."

"They are that powerful?" Yuan frowned.

"Yes. They may not be as noble as previously, but they are definitely as powerful. Killing Bai Xutao will not only endanger your own life but your friends as well."

Yuan closed his eyes to ponder Dong Ye's words.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, which flickered with a vicious light, and mumbled, "In other words, I can do anything but kill him directly, right?"

"What do you plan on doing?" Dong Ye asked after swallowing nervously.

"Don't worry about it and find me Bai Xutao," he spoke in a commanding tone.

Dong Ye sighed inwardly, but he could not refuse Yuan's orders and nodded, "I understand. I'll locate Bai Xutao by the end of the day."
