My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Gu Xing pondered for a while, his gaze finally falling on Lilith.

Even if their strategy fails, with Lilith around...

And with the Soul Devouring Talent as a boost.

Lilith's power is also top-tier among the Monarch Peak.

Therefore, as long as the Totem-level Ghost Clan experts don't intervene...

With Lilith, they can retreat unscathed.

Besides...

Since Lilith made this suggestion, it means she has a certain level of confidence.

"What do you think?"

Gu Xing asked directly.

Lilith glanced at Fei Yue beside Gu Xing before slowly speaking:

"The little one by your side should know that the Ghost Clan holds a grand competition every year."

"The first place in this competition has the chance to be recognized by the Divine Pattern."

"However, until now, no Ghost Clan member has successfully been recognized by the Divine Pattern."

Gu Xing was momentarily stunned and then turned his gaze towards Fei Yue.

Fei Yue responded immediately:

"Yes, Master!"

"The Ghost Clan indeed holds a competition every year, but..."

Her voice suddenly became hesitant, "My sister and I have already been expelled from the Ghost Clan, I'm afraid..."

Fei Yue's tone carried a sense of confusion.

The memories of being expelled were already somewhat blurry.

But she clearly remembered...

She and her sister were permanently forbidden to step into the Ghost Clan territory.

Therefore, there's no point in talking about participating in the competition or striving for recognition by the Divine Pattern.

However, Gu Xing was completely unconcerned.

Even if Qing Shuang and Fei Yue were forbidden from entering the Ghost Clan, so what?

Not to mention that Fei Yue and Qing Shuang had done nothing wrong...

Moreover, they had encountered assassination attempts!

Gu Xing felt no guilt about venturing into the Ghost Clan to seize the Divine Pattern.

And having learned the whole story from Qing Shuang...

He had long made his decision.

That Ghost Clan Great Elder must pay the price.

Thinking of this, Gu Xing slowly spoke:

"Fei Yue, don't you want to go back?"

Gu Xing stared into Fei Yue's eyes.

This is not only to seize the Divine Pattern but also to seek justice for Qing Shuang and Fei Yue!

Fei Yue was struck by the question, standing motionless as if struck by lightning.

Go back?

Of course she wanted to!

Countless nights, she woke up from nightmares about the day they were expelled.

Until she met Gu Xing, things started to get better.

Being asked now, the extinguished flame in her eyes rekindled—

She and her sister were never the bringers of misfortune!

At this moment.

Qing Shuang's figure suddenly appeared.

Her blue eyes were filled with determination:

"Master, I agree to return to the Ghost Clan, and I will ensure the Divine Pattern recognizes Fei Yue as its master."

She surely hadn't forgotten...

The life-and-death scenes with Fei Yue!

This vengeance, she must repay.

Now given such an opportunity, it must not be missed.

Besides...

Acquiring the Divine Pattern was the master's will.

Fei Yue's gaze briefly swept across Gu Xing's face, then quickly shifted away.

As long as it's the master's wish, she would risk her life to fulfill it.

After confirming Qing Shuang's stance, Gu Xing's gaze returned to Fei Yue.

After all, she is the one who will endure the recognition of the Divine Pattern, her choice must be respected.

Fei Yue met Gu Xing's gaze, and nodded resolutely.

Since her sister agreed, what was there to hesitate?

Seeing both Guardian Beasts agreeing, Gu Xing also made up his mind.

What does it matter if it's a Ghost Clan?!

If those old ones of the Ghost Clan dare to disagree...

He would let Lilith absorb more blood, aided by the Soul Devouring Talent...

And fight them until they're convinced!

Meanwhile, Lilith looked at Fei Yue and Qing Shuang, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

The first time she met Qing Shuang, she saw her father's shadow in this girl.

Back then, before she became the Blood Ancestor, she received a favor from Qing Shuang's father "Qing".

Later, she was regretful when she heard that this top talent of the Ghost Clan was penalized.

And now, by the twist of fate...

Both of Qing's daughters are bound to Gu Xing.

Fate is truly unpredictable!

However...

She had been unsure how to repay "Qing's" kindness.

But now...

Taking Qing's daughters to acquire the Ghost Clan's Divine Pattern is her way of repaying that old favor.

What's more...

She wants to see if she can help Qing regain his strength through Gu Xing!

This kind of genius, just lingering in the Ghost Clan's Forbidden Land, how could it be right?

...

Tongyou Valley.

Ghost Clan's Residence.

The village where the Ghost Clan has lived for generations stands quietly.

Inside the most magnificent building at the village center, an important meeting is taking place.

Several Ghost Clan elders sit at one side of the hall, while on the opposite side sit a few extraordinarily beautiful fox women with multiple Fox Tails.

They are from the Qingqiu Race.

Also, one of the top races from the Alternate Space!

The Ghost Clan Great Elder was the first to break the silence, his voice deep yet persuasive:

"Qingqiu Princess, surely you have noticed, the Demon Race's power has become increasingly rampant recently."

"Though your race excels in sealing and controlling techniques, but in direct combat, it is indeed lacking. If the Demon Race discovered your inhabited location..."

He stopped there.

The Ghost Clan Great Elder understood that this was precisely the dilemma the Qingqiu Race faced.

After pausing for the Qingqiu Race to think for a while, he continued:

"Our Ghost Clan happens to be a race most skilled in combat. If we join forces..."

"With your race's support abilities and our race's combat talents, even if the Demon Race strikes, we can handle it!"

The Qingqiu Princess lightly furrowed her brows, her slender fingers unwittingly twirling a strand of hair.

She naturally understood that the Ghost Clan Great Elder spoke the truth.

The Qingqiu Race is not particularly skilled at combat.

Therefore, after detecting unusual Demon Race activities, they started looking for collaboration among races.

Originally, her intended partners included three...

Angel Race, Ghost Clan, Human Race!

However, the recent actions of the Angel Race made her notice something unusual.

This race might have already been infiltrated by the Demon Race.

So she could only exclude them.

And as for the Ghost Clan and Human Race...

She's still hesitant now.

The Ghost Clan, though their combat ability is formidable, but...

Collaborating with a race full of muscle-heads poses a significant risk.

As for the Human Race...

To this day, there's not a single Totem Level race.

Nor has there been a potential breakthrough to the Totem Level in sight.

Thus, the risk of collaborating with the Human Race is even greater than with the Ghost Clan.

However...

Collaboration with the Human Race better exploits the Qingqiu Race's abilities.

Because the diversity of the Human Race's Beast Taming system perfectly matches Qingqiu's control talents.

At this thought, the Princess could not help but rub her temples.

Headache!

However, the Demon Race's threat is looming, leaving the Qingqiu Race little time to hesitate.

Facing the earnest gaze of the Ghost Clan Great Elder, she finally sighed lightly:

"If nothing goes wrong..."

"Qingqiu is willing to form an alliance with the Ghost Clan."

Upon hearing these words, the Ghost Clan Great Elder's face instantly lit up with joy.

"Since we've reached an agreement," he warmly began:

"Recently, our Ghost Clan is about to hold the centennial competition, might the Princess be interested in staying to observe? It'd be a good opportunity to witness the charm of our younger generation."

The Qingqiu Princess heard this and nodded slightly.

Only by better understanding the Ghost Clan can they collaborate effectively.

Regarding the younger generation of the Ghost Clan...

She is also extremely curious!
