Rebirth of the Wilderness

Chapter 97: The First Battle Ends

Just as Tian Feng fell, a streak of light flashed, and Tian Huang's figure appeared at the place where Tian Feng fell. With inexplicable grief, he stretched out his hand to the air, as if trying to grab something.

Zulong did not rush to take action when he saw this. It was not because he did not want to, but because he sensed a powerful aura approaching.

Zulong's heart moved, and he guessed that it was the reinforcements that Tianfeng mentioned. He wanted to see what these reinforcements were. You know, the elite of the Phoenix clan had basically been involved in this war during this period of time, and now they have been almost wiped out. How could there be any reinforcements? He was also very curious.

"Zu Qilin!"

Not long after, a figure appeared on the battlefield. Zulong looked at the person with a serious expression and spoke word by word.

"It is this clan leader, Zulong. I never thought you would be so cruel. Not only did you disregard the safety of your clan members and start a clan war, you also killed Tianfeng, who we have been friends with for so many years. You have such a cruel heart!"

Although Zu Qilin was surprised that Tian Feng was killed by Zulong, he was actually a little secretly happy in his heart. Although he lost a powerful helper, this situation was most advantageous for the Qilin clan. However, he did not show it and just loudly blamed Zulong.

"Zu Qilin, are you the reinforcements invited by Tian Huang? You know exactly what you are thinking. Don't pretend to be merciful here. Aren't you disgusting?"

When Zulong saw that Zu Qilin was not only involved with the Phoenix Clan, but was also pretending to be a good guy here, he was so angry that he directly retorted.

Zu Qilin was not angry after hearing Zulong's words. The current situation was most favorable to the Qilin clan, so he did not want to engage in meaningless verbal disputes with Zulong, and threatened Zulong, "Daoyou Zulong, a large number of elite members of my Qilin clan will arrive soon. Do you want to fight us here or retreat now? Make a decision quickly. Once my elite members of the Qilin clan arrive, you will not be able to leave at will."

After hearing what Zu Qilin said, Zulong became furious. Although he wanted to annihilate the remaining members of the Phoenix clan, he was afraid that what Zu Qilin said was true. By then, the Dragon clan would be exhausted and would definitely be disadvantaged in the battle. After weighing the pros and cons, Zulong had to order a retreat. Anyway, the remaining members of the Phoenix clan were not a concern.

When leaving, Zulong glared at Zuqilin and said, "Zuqilin, just wait for the wrath of the dragon clan!"

After saying this, Zulong took the remaining members of the Dragon Clan and left the place. He secretly made up his mind that as soon as he finished his training, he would attack the Kirin Clan's lair directly to avenge today's revenge.

Zu Qilin didn't care after hearing Zu Long's harsh words. He just replied disdainfully, "Who is afraid of you dragons? If you are not afraid of death, just come."

Although Tian Huang wanted to stop Zulong from leaving, he knew that it was unrealistic. Most of the remaining members of the Phoenix clan were injured, and forcibly stopping him would only increase casualties. Moreover, it was unknown when the reinforcements from the Qilin clan would arrive. It would be better to wait until he reunited with the Qilin clan and then take the opportunity to take revenge.

"It's just estimated that the Phoenix Clan will have to rely on the Qilin Clan in the future."

Thinking of this, Tianhuang felt very complicated. The countermeasures he had originally agreed upon with Tianfeng could at least allow them to be on equal footing with the Qilin clan. He did not expect the situation to be so bad this time. The Phoenix clan suffered heavy losses. Not only did most of the elite members of the clan suffer casualties, but even Tianfeng was killed on the spot.

Tian Huang knew clearly that in this world of great strife, the Phoenix Clan was no longer qualified to be on equal footing with the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan.

Zu Qilin saw Tian Huang's unwilling expression and could not say much, so he could only comfort him, "Daoyou Tian Huang, it will take a long time for the elite of the Qilin clan to get here. Letting Zulong leave now is the best choice for the Phoenix clan."

"Fellow Daoist Zu Qilin, I understand all of this, but I am unwilling to accept it. From now on, my Phoenix clan will rely on you more."

Tian Huang was well aware of the current situation. Tian Feng had fallen, and he was now the leader of the Phoenix Clan. The dead were gone, and for the sake of the remaining members of the Phoenix Clan, he could only temporarily suppress the grief in his heart, put the overall situation first, and preserve the vitality of the Phoenix Clan.

“Fellow Daoist Tian Huang, there is no need to do this. From now on, my Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan will help each other and fight against the Dragon Clan together. If there is a chance, I will avenge Fellow Daoist Tian Feng and other members of the Phoenix Clan.”

Although the Phoenix Clan is now in decline, Zu Qilin still needs Tian Huang to join hands with him to resist Zu Long. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to fight against Zu Long on his own. If he follows in the footsteps of Tian Feng, then everything will be in vain. So even though Tian Huang lowered his posture, Zu Qilin still spoke politely.

"Then I will go gather my people first, and then we will go back to your base with the Qilin tribe to avoid being defeated one by one by the Zulong."

Tian Huang knew that the Phoenix Clan was in a very dangerous situation, so he simply abandoned his current territory and went to the Qilin Clan for temporary refuge to get through this difficult time.

"Okay, you gather your people first. I'll go see where the elite members of my Qilin tribe are. We'll contact each other on WeChat and then we can return to the Qilin tribe together."

It was not surprising that Zu Qilin chose Tianhuang. Only in this way could the last members of the Phoenix clan be saved. If they remained in the Phoenix clan's territory, not to mention the Dragon clan, even other innate creatures would not let go of this piece of fat meat. And who knows how many innate creatures would want to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, there will be a war between the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan sooner or later. By staying with the Qilin Clan, she can also take the opportunity to see if she can avenge her dead clansmen. Tian Huang saw this very clearly, so she did not hesitate or be reluctant and made up her mind directly.

After the two said goodbye, Tian Huang organized the remaining Phoenix tribe members, put the injured tribesmen into his own portable cave, and asked the rest of the tribesmen to use WeChat to notify some Phoenix tribe members who were not present for various reasons, informing them of his decision. If they wanted to find them in the future, they should go to the Qilin tribe’s base, otherwise they should hide themselves and avoid the limelight this time.

After being busy for a few days, these trivial matters were finally dealt with, and Tianhuang led the remaining Phoenix clan towards the location agreed with Zu Qilin.

After everyone left, this battlefield, which had been bustling for hundreds of years since the war, became quiet.

Since both sides of the war were innate creatures, after their death in battle, they were directly transformed into Taoism and became nutrients for the prehistoric world. No corpses were left behind. Now only this scarred land remains to record it all.

And because of the war between the two sides and the conflict of laws, this battlefield is now full of space cracks. It is unknown how many years it will take to recover. It is estimated that no one will come here again before these space cracks disappear.
