Chapter 380: Qilin Horn

The faces of the Vermilion Bird Clan alternated between white and purple, their expressions ugly, and their eyes flashing with anger.

But Xue Wei was even more furious than them; his mood was severely affected. This was a happy occasion, but they had been ogling at his future wife! There was no way he would accept this.

The Vermilion Bird Clan Members were also shocked. They were aware that Xue Wei should be the leader of their group since their clan leader had given him this task.

How could he possibly lift his hand against them? He was their protector!

But when they looked at the dark and ferocious expression on Xue Wei's face, and they felt the killing intent that was roiling around him, then they decided not to speak.

If it indeed came to a battle, then they knew that they would stand no chance against Xue Wei's friends and the Chang'an group.

Still, the prince was unhappy and felt as if he had been slapped across the face. Although he was not the one who had been beaten down, he was still a royal Vermilion Bird, and he was not pleased with what Xue Wei had done.

"You should not have done that!" he exclaimed after gathering his courage. "You were only allowed inside this realm because my royal father let you in, and in return, your job was to protect us. Now you have harmed us; our royal father will never let you off when you get out!"

"Are you done?" Xue Wei asked, his voice was dangerously low, his mood horrible. If it were not because this person was a Vermilion Bird, he would not have been so lighthanded as he was. He would, without a doubt, have taken his life.

The prince did not seem to understand that Xue Wei was at his limits of how much anger he could suppress, and he continued to blabber on how much Xue Wei owed them, and he still dared to beat them.

Suddenly a sharp and piercing energy erupted from Xue Wei, which landed on the chest of the prince, sending him flying and shutting his mouth as he vomited blood.

"Shut up!" he exclaimed angrily.

"I am not here to babysit you guys; if you continue to piss me off, you can go your own way. The Clan Leader already said that I was allowed to leave you behind if you turned out to be a hindrance, do you really think he will hate me for this?

"It is you who constantly challenge my bottom lines. You who were so lecherous that you could not help but ogle at my wife, you who are causing problems all the time! I have saved you more than once; I have already fulfilled my promise. I am sure he will not make it difficult for me."

The prince was shocked when he heard Xue Wei's decisive words, and he kept quiet. Although he disliked Xue Wei, he understood that they relied on him and his friends right now to survive in the Ascended's Realm.

Harrumphing, he said no more but went towards the other guy who had been sent flying by Xue Wei. He quickly placed a pill in his mouth, and when he woke up, he ordered him to absorb the medicine from the pill so that he could travel with them again in the morning.

The man who had been sent flying was scared of the sudden display of ruthlessness that Xue Wei had shown, but he still wanted revenge. Yet he understood that now was not the time to get it.

When they were back at the Demon Phoenix Continent, it would be much more suitable for them to gain vengeance. They could tell the Clan Leader about Xue Wei not protecting them and even injuring them; they were sure that he would be punished then.

Not caring for them at all, Xue Wei took Wang Xiaoyun to the friends' campsite, and the mood once more turned joyous.

Everyone congratulated them on being together once more, but no one asked what they had talked about. No one commented on their different races, nor about the fact that they were far from one another. They knew that everything would be solved by Xue Wei one way or another.

The night broke into dawn, and the people who had been celebrating got ready to move again.

"I can feel Qilins not far from here," Luoluo suddenly said. "Qilins are magnificent creatures; they have Qilin horns, which are as rare as phoenix feathers.

"Where phoenix feathers are wonderful at raising the flame grade of a person with a fire attributed Qi, the Qilin horn can similarily raise or even gift you with an elemental affinity.

"Phoenixes exists as fire and ice phoenixes, and that is it, but Qilin exists as many more varieties. There are Fire Qilins, Thunder Qilins, Water Qilins, and so on.

"The ones I can sense right now are thunder Qilins, so if you can get a few of their horns, then you can gain a thunder affinity. Although it is not a pure affinity like the five elements of wuxing, it is still powerful and useful."

Xue Wei was in deep thought. Multiple elemental affinities were a good thing, and he knew that thunder and lightning were a very rare element. If he could gain it this way, it would no doubt be the best thing.

"Lead the way," he said to Luoluo, who nodded her head and began moving towards the denser area of the forest.

The rest followed with bated breaths. All of them wanted to get a Qilin Horn.
