Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi watched Xu Fang and his party leave, their eyes filled with hatred. However, in the end, they could only watch Xu Fang depart.
They were filled with regret, wishing they hadn't acted so rashly. What was the point of killing Dong Wang Gong and claiming the orthodox lineage of the Primordial Era? The demon race had suffered a great loss.
Xu Fang, along with the Four Dragon Kings, Kong Xuan, Mo Yu Qilin, and Hou Tu, left the demon celestial court and rejoined the various armies.
"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for coming to my aid this time. Xu Fang is deeply grateful. As per custom, let's divide the spoils!"
Xu Fang bowed to them. With a thought, the treasures plundered from the demon race appeared before him, their dazzling radiance making everyone's eyes water.
However, despite their excitement, no one reached for the treasures, and the atmosphere grew cold.
Kong Xuan, seeing this, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Daoist Xu Fang, please don't joke. Although we intended to help you, in the end, we didn't manage to provide much assistance."
"Therefore, we feel unworthy to accept these treasures!"
Kong Xuan politely refused, and the others, seeing his example, repeatedly nodded, indicating they would not accept the treasures.
Xu Fang, seeing their hesitation, quickly spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, do not say that. How can you say you didn't help much? You were a great help!"
"If you hadn't appeared, would the demon race have willingly admitted their mistake and handed over the treasures?"
Xu Fang would not treat these good Daoists who had traveled from afar unfairly. His words were indeed true; without their presence, the demon race might not have agreed so readily.
Since this was the case, it was only natural to express gratitude with a few treasures.
Furthermore, there might be similar situations in the future, so it was important to maintain good relations. Xu Fang understood the importance of such social courtesies.
Seeing that everyone still refused, Xu Fang put on a stern face.
"Are you trying to ruin my reputation as the Treasure Scattering Immortal Boy?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Since Xu Fang had put it this way, no one stood on ceremony any longer. Each person selected treasures suitable for them, their hearts filled with joy.
Indeed, following Daoist Xu Fang, one always gained, and they themselves would never suffer a loss!
Such an individual was truly worthy of respect and friendship!
After the treasures were distributed, Ao Guang was the first to bid farewell.
"Alright, Daoist Xu Fang, our Dragon Clan has some matters to attend to, so we shall return first."
Xu Fang nodded, knowing that Ao Guang's matters likely involved Ancestral Dragon.
The Four Dragon Kings had brought their armies, so it was probable that Ancestral Dragon had already begun to reclaim leadership of the Dragon Clan and was enjoying the spoils.
However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Ao Guang and the others had to return to oversee the Dragon Clan.
The Four Dragon Kings departed with their armies. Kong Xuan, after a few words of instruction to the Golden-Winged Great Peng, also took his leave.
"Daoist Xu Fang, we too must return to the Qilin Cave Heaven."
Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin cupped their fists in greeting to Xu Fang before bidding farewell.
Xu Fang nodded in assent. Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin immediately prepared to lead the Qilin Clan army away.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Xu Fang suddenly remembered something and called out. Mo Yu Qilin turned back to look at Xu Fang.
"Daoist Xu Fang, is there anything else?"
"Please take that little Qilin, the dark and scaly one, with you!"
Xu Fang pointed at the little Qilin lying on the Treasure Distribution Rock and said.
"Ah?"
The little Qilin was gazing around on the Treasure Distribution Rock when Xu Fang suddenly pointed at it, startling it.
Meanwhile, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, who had just bid farewell to their respective brothers and fathers and were feeling a bit sad, perked up upon hearing Xu Fang's words.
"Little Qilin, so your name is the Dark and Scaly Qilin?"
"No wonder you never introduce yourself. It turns out your name is so peculiar, ha ha!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue laughed unkindly, never expecting this little Qilin to have such a bizarre name.
The little Qilin felt extremely wronged and looked at Mo Qilin, its face full of indignation.
Mo Qilin ignored its gaze. Seeing Xu Fang's curious expression, he explained with a smug look.
"This fellow was the last one left, and his fur color was the same as mine. However, I had already used the name Mo Qilin, and there are hundreds of Black Qilins in the Qilin Clan."
"So, I had a flash of inspiration and named him the Dark and Scaly Qilin. What do you think? Isn't it unique and different?"
The beings present were speechless and cast pitying glances at the little Qilin.
It was indeed unique and different, but it had caused the little Qilin so much psychological damage that it didn't even introduce itself!
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Yu Qilin spoke, looking at Xu Fang.
"Daoist Xu Fang, this little Qilin has always been well-behaved and obedient. That's precisely why we let him follow you."
"Why are you driving him away for no reason?"
Hearing Yu Qilin's words, Mo Qilin realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly chimed in.
"Yes, yes. If he's disobedient, just hang him up and beat him. There's no need for him to leave!"
Mo Yu Qilin had sent this little Qilin to Xu Fang precisely because they were certain Xu Fang possessed the opportunity for the Qilin Clan to flourish.
Now that they hadn't even seen the opportunity yet, they certainly wouldn't give up halfway. Of course, they had to push the little Qilin back.
Xu Fang understood their intentions and spoke to comfort them.
"Don't worry, he has already completed the task you entrusted him with."
As Xu Fang spoke, he looked at the little Qilin. Although the little Qilin was still sulking, it could only grudgingly take out its treasure when Xu Fang looked at it.
"The Qilin Seal!"
Mo Yu Qilin looked at the shining Qilin Seal, its familiar aura, and the ceaseless flow of luck, and exclaimed in shock.
The Qilin Clan members behind him were also filled with excitement, their gazes fixed on the Qilin Seal, as if seeing the lost First Qilin, their emotions a mix of sorrow and joy.
Mo Yu Qilin stared at the Qilin Seal for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, his eyes glistening.
However, they quickly composed themselves and bowed deeply to Xu Fang in unison, with utmost respect.
"Thank you, Daoist Xu Fang, for retrieving this supreme treasure for our Qilin Clan!"
"Daoist Xu Fang has bestowed such great kindness upon our Qilin Clan. In the future, if there is anything, you need not command; our Qilin Clan will surely brave any danger!"
Mo Yu Qilin solemnly expressed his gratitude to Xu Fang, his heart filled with emotion.
The return of the Qilin Seal was an extremely significant event for the Qilin Clan.
From now on, the scattered luck of the Qilin Clan since the calamity of the three clans could finally be consolidated, preventing their further decline.
They might not become the main protagonists of the world again and possess the power to contend for dominance, but at least the Qilin Clan could become powerful in the future and not be bullied by other races.
They were all astonished. Their intuition was indeed correct; Xu Fang was the opportunity for the Qilin Clan, and even the rise of the three clans, the regenerator of the three clans!
The Qilin Clan members behind him, following Mo Yu Qilin's deep bow to Xu Fang, were filled with gratitude and reverence in their eyes.
Although they didn't say much, their hearts were firm, regarding Xu Fang as a great benefactor to the Qilin Clan.
If in the past, the Qilin Clan had helped Xu Fang to avoid falling behind the Dragon and Phoenix clans,
then from this moment on, helping Xu Fang would be an inescapable duty for their Qilin Clan, for which they would gladly face death!
