"This egg is Feng Feng? How on earth…" Yuan approached the egg and inspected it with more attention, and sure enough, he could sense his connection with Feng Yuxiang inside the egg, albeit a bit faint.
"How did this happen?" he turned to look at Xi Meili.
Xi Meili released a sigh and proceeded to explain the whole situation to him.
"You see… Shortly after you left, we wandered the city and were approached by someone from the Immortal Clans— the Heavenly White Tiger Clan. That person wanted us to spend some time with him, but we refused. One thing led to another, and we ended up fighting this person."
"This person was incredibly powerful— so powerful that even when working together, we couldn't defeat him. Things got crazy, and we ended up unsealing our cultivation past Spirit King."
"However, because only Spirit Kings and below are allowed in the Third Heaven, we'd essentially broken a rule of heaven, which provoked a Heavenly Tribulation. I managed to survive my tribulation, but Feng Yuxiang wasn't as lucky, as her tribulation was much more powerful than mine since it calculated her true strength even though she had her powers suppressed."
"In the end, she entered this state, which she will remain until she recovers from her injuries."
Yuan was speechless after learning about the situation.
"What kind of bullshit is this…?" he muttered in a cold voice.
"You guys were simply protecting yourselves from that bastard, yet you were the ones punished for it?"
His body trembled in anger, and the atmosphere in the cabin changed drastically with the temperature dropping like an anchor in water.
When Dong Ye sensed the intense bloodlust within Yuan's aura, his body shivered from excitement, as it reminded him of the Evil God during the war.
"So, you're the ones who caused all that ruckus in the city, huh," Yuan mumbled a moment later.
"T-That was mostly the Heavenly White Tiger's fault! He recklessly used his powers, destroying the city and killing hundreds of innocent people!"
"I know, you don't have to tell me." Yuan said, and he continued, "You're not at fault here, so don't blame yourself for what happened to that city and those people. In fact, you're also the victims here."
He turned to Dong Ye and asked, "The Immortal Clans, tell me about them."
Dong Ye nodded and repeated what he told Xi Meili sometime ago, "The Immortal Clans are derived from the Supreme Beings that followed the Immortal Monarch— your liege— in the past. They are basically their descendants, and they are essentially royalty within the world of beasts."
"The Immortal Clans used to be noble clans that would continue the Immortal Monarch's legacy by improving the relationship between humans and beasts even after his disappearance. Unfortunately, they are just a bunch of selfish and arrogant pricks nowadays that abuse their power and influence, smearing the Immortal Monarch's name and legacy."
"The Heavenly White Tiger Clan is one of these Immortal Clans. Their ancestor was a loyal servant of the Immortal Monarch, someone I greatly admired. While they may not be as influential as some other Immortal Clans, they are undoubtedly one of the most powerful in terms of sheer strength."
