"This woman, didn't I tell you that if you encounter a powerful exotic beast, you can temporarily retreat..." Jiang Li held the beautiful Chu Xuan in his arms, his eyes full of helplessness.
Before entering cultivation, Jiang Li had already told Chu Xuan that his formations had the effect of concealing aura.
If they encountered an extremely powerful exotic beast, they just needed to hide themselves.
Jiang Li shook his head slightly and then used spiritual energy to examine Chu Xuan's body.
He found that her meridians had already suffered considerable damage, and her bloodline origin had also been greatly depleted.
"She's not lightly injured," Jiang Li murmured in his heart.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Li then activated the 【Phoenix Nirvana Sutra】 to treat Chu Xuan.
While treating Chu Xuan's injuries, Jiang Li also flew towards the exit of the ancestral land.
Before long, under the heaven-defying healing effect of Jiang Li's 【Phoenix Nirvana Sutra】, Chu Xuan's body had already recovered significantly.
"I... I can walk by myself..." Chu Xuan felt the scorching aura emanating from Jiang Li and said softly.
Jiang Li ignored Chu Xuan's words and continued to carry her, flying out rapidly.
...
At the entrance of the Primordial Qilin Clan's ancestral land.
Quite a few members of the Primordial Qilin Clan were on guard.
Not far away, there was a delicate and beautiful woman with a special mark between her eyebrows.
"Your Royal Highness, are you sure that person killed Prince Huo Qilin?" a middle-aged man exuding a terrifying aura asked the beautiful woman.
Gathered around the two were many members of the Primordial Qilin Clan, all exuding incredibly powerful auras.
Huo Lin'er pursed her lips slightly, then said faintly, "Whether it's true or not, Elder Yan, you'll know if you use your Nine Palaces Eye Technique!"
The middle-aged man said nothing upon hearing this.
Since Huo Lin'er had spoken, he would obey her command.
The group waited there slowly.
After a while, the entrance to the ancestral land suddenly lit up with a brilliant stream of light.
Huo Lin'er's eyes brightened, a cold killing intent swirling within them.
"They're coming out!!!" a nearby Qilin clan member exclaimed.
The surrounding Qilin clan members became extremely alert, unleashing their auras and staring intently at the entrance.
Then, from the entrance, emerged a peerlessly handsome young man and an exceptionally beautiful woman.
The woman was held tightly in the young man's embrace, presenting a picture of perfect harmony.
"Huo Lin'er, what do you mean by this?" Chu Xuan emerged from Jiang Li's embrace, her brows furrowed, and she reprimanded in a clear voice.
There were so many people here, and they exuded a powerful aura of killing intent, clearly hostile.
After the treatment from the 【Phoenix Nirvana Sutra】, Chu Xuan's injuries had mostly healed, and color had returned to her face.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, he could feel the cold intent emanating from these people.
What did they want? Had his actions been discovered?
No, if they had been discovered, they would have attacked directly...
Various thoughts swirled in Jiang Li's mind.
"I suspect the human next to you killed my brother. I need to investigate!" Huo Lin'er stared directly at Jiang Li, her expression icy.
"Impossible. I know you're heartbroken to have lost your brother, but that's no reason for you to make baseless accusations!" Chu Xuan retorted, equally unyielding.
Jiang Li remained nonchalant, as if indifferent to everything.
If they were in the outside world, Jiang Li would have had a hundred ways to slaughter them all.
However, this was the Qilin clan's territory, filled with many top-tier great demons, and even monsters of the ancestral level. Jiang Li did not wish to reveal too much.
"Whether it's true or not, Elder Yan will know if he looks. Elder Yan's Nine Palaces Eye Technique can see through all hidden auras. If Young Master Jiang is truly innocent, we will not wrongly accuse him!" Huo Lin'er continued.
As Huo Lin'er finished speaking, a middle-aged man stepped forward from behind.

...
He's an elder of the Qilin Clan...
And a great demon at the Grand Supreme level.
He possesses the Nine Palaces Eye Technique, capable of breaking illusions.
The Nine Palaces Eye Technique is a top-tier eye technique. Not only does it possess immense power, but its use can also see through illusions and discern the aura of all things.
A chill ran down Jiang Li's spine. He hadn't expected that merely on suspicion, she would bring out a top-tier great demon at the Ninth Heaven of the Supreme Realm.
Chu Xuan looked at the numerous Primordial Qilin Clan members before her, her expression extremely grim.
Jiang Li indeed bore a Qilin Clan bloodline mark.
Whether that person was killed by Jiang Li or not, if it was discovered...
It would be difficult to resolve the situation.
She knew all too well how close Huo Qilin and Huo Lin'er were...
Even with the slightest possibility, Huo Lin'er would not let the murderer go.
Although Jiang Li's bloodline mark was concealed by the Grand Elder's concealment jade, under the illumination of the Nine Palaces Eye Technique...
Chu Xuan had no confidence whatsoever that it wouldn't be detected.
"Young Master Jiang is a distinguished guest of our Primordial Divine Silkworm Clan. On what grounds do you demand an investigation based on your mere suspicion? Huo Lin'er, remember your status!" Chu Xuan stated firmly.
No matter what, she absolutely could not allow this Qilin Clan member to use the Nine Palaces Eye Technique for investigation.
Chu Xuan's words intensified Huo Lin'er's killing intent.
If there were no issues, why would she be so resolute?
It must be this person who killed my brother...
"I don't wish to say much. If you don't cooperate, then don't blame me for resorting to forceful measures." Huo Lin'er was now ninety percent certain.
It was definitely this Jiang Li...
If not for the Divine Silkworm Clan, Chu Xuan would have attacked long ago.
"Huo Lin'er, don't push your luck, we..." Chu Xuan's face darkened, and her aura was already preparing to erupt.
"I can let you investigate!" Before Chu Xuan could finish, Jiang Li interrupted her.
Jiang Li slowly stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chu Xuan, his gaze calm as he looked at Huo Lin'er.
"Young Master Jiang..." Chu Xuan looked at Jiang Li with worry.
Jiang Li gave her a reassuring look.
Looking at the composed Jiang Li, Chu Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of calm herself.
"Agrees to an investigation..." A flicker of surprise crossed Huo Lin'er's eyes.
