Chapter 13753 It’s time for the old guys to retire
At this point, Qin Xianglan stared at the rolling hills in the distance with deep eyes, her thoughts seemed to drift far away: "I used to be proud of my talent and looked down on everyone. It was not until I met him that I woke up from my dream and realized how insignificant I was. I was so ignorant and arrogant in the past."

"I'm afraid the King of Qin won't let him go." Yue Xue frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"What does that have to do with me? I am powerless to help him." Qin Xianglan's lips curled up with a mocking smile, "However, it is not easy for King Qin to destroy him. Besides, that heartless and ungrateful father must hate the Feather Clan to the core. After the Feather Clan obtained the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, their strength has surpassed that of the Qin Family. He must be sitting on pins and needles, panicking and at a loss."

Qin Xianglan sneered, and the humiliation of the past surged into her heart like a tide.

She once tried her best to get her father's approval and was willing to sacrifice everything for it. It was not until she met Ling Xiao, a man with unique charm and strong strength, that she woke up from her dream and realized how stupid she was.

For truly powerful people, respect is not given by others, but earned through their own efforts. One day, that scumbag father will not only look up to her, but will even kneel in front of her and beg for her forgiveness. Thinking of the humiliation she and her mother had suffered over the years, Qin Xianglan was filled with regret and secretly scolded herself for being so stupid.

Qin Xianglan stood upright like a cold sculpture. The flickering phosphorescent light on the cave wall outlined a vague outline of her face, but most of it was still hidden in the thick shadows. Only her eyes were like two clusters of burning flames, with a hot and resolute light gushing out from them, as if it could burn a hole in the endless darkness.

She clenched her teeth, her cheeks bulging slightly due to the force, and her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white and her sharp nails digging deeply into her palms. Bright red blood oozed out, slid down the lines on her palms, and dripped onto the cold ground with a slight "click" sound.

However, this tingling sensation did not make her retreat. Instead, it was like a surging source of energy, continuously flowing through her nerves into her limbs and bones, giving her endless power.

"From now on, I will make everyone look at me with new eyes, and make those who once looked down on me pay the price for their actions!"

Every word she spoke seemed to be packed with tremendous force, squeezing out from between her clenched teeth. It kept echoing in this empty and quiet cave, and the lingering sound seemed to completely break through the depressing atmosphere.

After saying that, she turned around abruptly, and her wide sleeves stirred up a gust of wind behind her, carrying dust and resentment. She walked out of the cave with rapid and firm steps, and each step made a dull sound, as if she was announcing her determination to this chaotic world.

At this moment, she was secretly hoping that when she came out of seclusion next time, the Qin family and the Yu clan would have been both defeated and seriously injured in the endless battle.

The older generation whose minds are blinded by greed have cloudy eyes and are dazzled by the immediate interests, completely disregarding the long-term future of their family and race.

In Qin Xianglan's view, it is time for their generation of young heroes to step onto the stage of history and rewrite this chaotic and jungle situation with courage and wisdom.

……

A few days later, in the dangerous forest, the branches and leaves were intertwined and airtight, and the roars of wild beasts and the low growls of unknown monsters could be heard from time to time.

Yu Huo was in a disheveled state, covered in dust and blood, with messy hair sticking to his sweaty face.

He staggered, sometimes tripped by the roots of trees, and sometimes turned sharply to avoid traps in the dark. He stumbled all the way, but never stopped running towards the territory of the Feather Clan.

Finally, he stepped into the territory of the Feather Clan. He didn't care about his fatigue and pain, nor did he have time to tidy up his clothes. He ran straight to the Feather Clan's hall.

Inside the hall, the luxurious decoration exudes majesty in the dim light. The Feather King sits high on a gorgeous throne inlaid with countless rare treasures. His posture is straight, his expression is as cold as ice that has not melted for a thousand years, and his eyes are like the sharpest eagle in the night sky, able to penetrate all illusions and see through everything in the world.

Yu Huo knelt heavily with a "thump", and his knees hit the hard stone slabs with a dull sound.

He was breathing rapidly, his chest heaving violently, with a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He recounted all the thrilling and bizarre things that happened in Wang Zhou without reservation. During the whole story, his eyes were sometimes angry, sometimes terrified, and his expression kept changing as the plot progressed.

King Yu listened quietly, his originally cold eyes became even deeper and colder, like an ice blade suddenly unsheathed in the cold night, emitting a bone-chilling chill that made people shudder.

After a long while, he raised his head slightly and spoke slowly. His voice was deep and mellow, yet it revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Don't you think someone is secretly planning to make the Qin family and our Yu clan fight to the death?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huo was stunned for a moment, and every scene of his experience in Wangzhou, every confrontation, and every incident flashed through his mind like lightning.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth, a look of resentment emerged on his face, and he said excitedly: "I don't think so. On the contrary, I think the Qin family is the mastermind of all the conspiracies. Qin Xianglan swore before that she was captured by Ling Xiao, but now she was released unharmed and intact."

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said with a more determined tone, "Just at this delicate juncture, the powerful Demon Lord Black Sky Sword was also stolen. Don't you think this is too coincidental? So I think the Qin family is trying to throw this dirty water on us, so that others will mistakenly believe that the rare treasure is in the hands of our Feather Clan."

Yu Huo took a breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and continued:

"Even if what you said is absolutely true, King Yu, we still have to solve our own pressing problems first. The Qin family has suffered such a big loss in Wangzhou this time. With their vengeful nature, they will never let it go.

Not only that, the surrounding forces such as the Water Tribe, the Holy Hall, and Xuantian Temple have always been eyeing our Feather Tribe's resources and territory, and I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to attack us. Do you think they will listen to even a word of your analysis?"

He slowly raised his head, mustered up his courage, and looked directly into Yu Wang's eyes, his eyes full of anxiety and earnestness.

"Every one of them wants to devour our Feather Clan alive and divide them up completely. This is something that everyone knows and understands. This time, no matter whether the treasure is in our hands or not, they will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, unless we can expose the Qin family's conspiracy in a short period of time and clear our Feather Clan's name!"
