Chapter 287: Qin Clan's Old Ancestor!

Bei Feng continued examining the wing with interest. This was something he had not expected. Initially, he thought that the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle Wing was a treasure with a fixed grade, and it would not be able to improve. However, it had actually risen a grade after being infused with large amounts of blood and Qi!

"No wonder it felt so smooth to break through to four times the speed of sound! Looks like it was the effect of that wind elemental ability!" Bei Feng mumbled. Previously, three times the speed of sound already caused him to feel as if he was flying through a sea of blades. But when he broke into four times the speed of sound, he instead felt like a fish in water!

Bei Feng lightly moved the wing, creating a miniature tornado in front of him. It spun about on the ground, tossing up large amounts of leaves and twigs into the air. But in terms of killing power, it should only be able to kill an ordinary human.

Even so, Bei Feng was very satisfied with the results. When his speed reached a certain level, the wind around him would also turn stronger. At that time, if he used the same technique, the killing power would naturally be vastly different as well! With this ability, Bei Feng could naturally turn the restrictive winds into a pushing power to augment his own speed further!

"I'll remember to settle this score! Hopefully, you don't get slain too quickly!"

Bei Feng gritted his teeth hatefully. He was a person who liked to hold grudges, especially ones like these where he got chased in such a sorry state!

Bei Feng retracted the conspicuous wing and focused on recovering the injuries to his body.

Flying at four times the speed of sound had placed great amounts of stress on his body. His internal injuries were rather serious, and required him to slowly regulate and fix them.

The sun began to set, and the temperature dropped along with it. However, Bei Feng's body was still like a mini-furnace, radiating waves of heat steadily.

At around past six, the sky began to darken. A thunderous sound like that of tigers and leopards roaring reverberated out from Bei Feng's body.

"Luckily, my bones had been reformed into the glazed skeleton. Otherwise, my body might already have fallen apart at three times the speed of sound!"

Bei Feng opened his mouth and spat out a long breath. He determined a direction and quickly set off.

The entire chase had only lasted about ten minutes. However, he had maintained a supersonic speed all throughout! Even worse, he had been flying at four times the speed of sound for several minutes!

Every second of those ten minutes represented thousands of meters. At his regular pace, it took Bei Feng several hours before he arrived back at Mt Qing Ling.

Tonight, or tomorrow morning, the four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts from the Martial Practitioners Control Department would arrive. At that time, they would be able to pay the black Demonic Beast back in kind.

The gathering ground at Mt Qing Ling was in a complete mess at this moment. Every major power had suffered great losses, and many had left the area entirely.

It was not that they had decided to give up on exploring the underground crypt. Rather, they had been scared too badly by the Demonic Beast. Each of them resolved not to appear until the four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts arrived.

What if the Super Demonic Beast appeared again once they set up camp?

Thus, almost everyone had retreated into the city. At least, they felt safer there.

Bei Feng spread his perception outwards and found the unconscious Mystic Three. Hoisting Mystic Three onto his shoulder, he quickly left. The presence of the black Demonic Beast caused Bei Feng to feel extremely uneasy.

In the faraway You Prefecture, a group of people were kneeling silently before a large door. Qin Wufa was included among them.

"Clan Leader, do you think that the Old Ancestor will come out of seclusion this time? After all, he's not appeared in a hundred years," the Fourth Elder said with some worry. It'd been a really long time since the old ancestor came out. He wouldn't have died in there, right?

"With the appearance of the underground crypt, all the various powers had moved out in full force. Even the Martial Practitioners Control Department's President and three Vice Presidents had come out. If the Old Ancestor does not make an appearance, our Qin Clan will only receive the soup while the rest will get the meat!" Qin Wufa said gruffly. At the same time, he felt some unease in his heart. This door had never opened in a hundred years. No one knew if the Old Ancestor was still alive.

Several of the Elders had rather unsightly expressions on their faces. How much longer did they have to kneel here for? Their knees were already beginning to get numb...

"Creak..."

A light sound reverberated through the quiet hall as the three meter wide door slowly swung open.

"Respectful greetings, Ancestor!" Everyone chorused respectfully immediately as soon as they saw the door open. All the doubts in their hearts were completely swept away in that moment.

"En. Didn't I say that I was not to be disturbed unless the Qin Clan is facing a life-or-death crisis? Speak. What happened?"

Qin Rulong stepped through the antique door. His back was slightly bent, and long white hair hung all the way to his waist. He looked like a man with one step in the grave, and did not look any different from an old man well-advanced in years.

"Old Ancestor, an underground crypt has been discovered in Qingcheng, and four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts from the Martial Practitioners Control Department already came out! They will reach Qingcheng in the morning. We feel that since this underground crypt could attract the attention of four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, it must be extraordinary. The treasures within will surely be very beneficial for our Qin Clan as well, thus we have troubled the Old Ancestor. We could not help but to inform you of this matter."

Qin Wufa did not dare to be disrespectful based on the frail appearance of the old man. He reported the matter respectfully, without any hints of his usual lawless attitude.

Qin Rulong regarded Qin Wufa calmly and asked, "You are the Clan Leader of this generation?"

"Yes." Qin Wufa nodded.

"Very good! I never imagined that after emerging from a hundred years of cultivation, a Fake Dan expert would have appeared in our Qin Clan! But what a pity, if you were born a hundred years earlier, you might have had the chance to break through to the Controlled Dan realm!"

Qin Rulong felt very pleasantly surprised. But at the same time, he felt some pity for the fates of the people in this generation.

Throughout the last hundred years, Qin Rulong have felt the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi growing weaker and weaker. Right now, it was already insufficient to support the breakthrough of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert.

Unless, of course, they used large amounts of valuable resources to forcefully push one into the Controlled Dan realm. However, the amount of resources this would require would easily bankrupt a dozen powerful clans on the level of the Qin Clan!

'However, this can be considered a great fortune for our Qin Clan that he was able to reach the Fake Dan realm at such a young age. If in the end he fails to break through to the Controlled Dan realm, this old man will use my cultivation to aid him in the breakthrough!' Qin Rulong decided in his heart.

He didn't have much time left, anyway. Perhaps he might die in twenty, thirty years, or at most hang on for another fifty, sixty years. In the end, he would eventually exhaust his lifespan and die!

In that case, he might as well groom another person to watch over the Qin Clan and ensure them another 300 years of prosperity!

The other Elders could feel their faces twitching lightly as they heard the Old Ancestor's words. Qin Wufa had actually broken through to the Fake Dan realm with them none the wiser!

This was the true 'invincible under Controlled Dan' level of strength! A Fake Dan expert was only a single step away from the Controlled Dan realm!

All the Elders felt an extremely sour feeling in their hearts. No wonder Qin Wufa was willing to share his authority with the various Elders. So it turned out that he did not need nor care for that bit of authority! What he needed was to break through to the Controlled Dan realm and gain a lifespan of 400 years!

"The Old Ancestor thinks too highly of me."

Qin Wufa remained neither haughty nor humble. With his age and his achievements, he did possess the qualifications to be considered a peerless genius!

"Where is the map for the layout of the underground crypt?"

Qin Rulong was very pleased that there was a worthy successor to the clan. In that moment, he did not decline their request and directly asked.

"Old Ancestor, there are still no maps of the underground crypt. The door in front of the crypt is too strong, and cannot be opened yet. However, we do have a picture of the door and the entrance."

Qin Wufa took out a colored picture from his sleeves and handed it over to Qin Rulong, causing the latter to widen his eyes with amazement at the technology. But when he saw the picture of the crypt's entrance, Qin Rulong's face changed drastically!
