The man and the beast flew towards the depths of the cave with the golden light around them. The cave went vertically deep into the ground and led all the way to the bottom.
Under the shining golden light, Ye Li and Xiao Qing quickly saw the situation at the bottom of the cave, and Ye Li's face instantly showed an extremely surprised expression.
At the bottom of the cave, a giant green bird that was many times larger than Xiaoqing was sitting there. It raised its head and looked at Ye Li and Xiaoqing. Its dark eyeballs were like two black holes, absorbing all the light around them.
The giant bird looks almost exactly like Xiaoqing. It is obvious that it is also a blue phoenix. The blood power that Xiaoqing feels naturally comes from this huge blue phoenix.
When Ye Li and Xiao Qing saw the huge Qingluan, they were both shocked. Ye Li hurriedly retracted the sword formation, leaving only the golden sword to provide illumination.
"Boy Ye Li, this is my friend Xiao Qing. I accidentally broke into Senior Qing Luan's place of meditation. I hope Senior will forgive me!!!"
Qingluan, with such a huge body, must be extremely powerful, even stronger than Xiaoqing. It is naturally a holy beast level monster, and it is definitely at the semi-saint level.
Although Ye Li was also a semi-saint, he thought there was no need to fight with this blue phoenix, so he immediately put on a friendly attitude.
Xiao Qing was slightly stunned when she heard Ye Li's words, then she looked at Ye Li and said, "Ye Li, what are you talking about? It's just a corpse!!!"
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized that there was no life force in the Qingluan in front of him.
In other words, this blue phoenix is actually a corpse and is not a living creature at all.
It’s just that the appearance of this blue phoenix is too imposing, with a huge body and eyes like black holes. Even in death, it can still emit a powerful oppressive force.
Ye Li scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I didn't even realize it was a corpse. I thought an elder from your Qingluan clan lived here."
As they were talking, Ye Li and Xiao Qing had already landed on the ground. Looking from the ground, the Qingluan corpse in front of them was indeed huge, a whole circle larger than Xiao Qing.
The head of the corpse did not turn because of Ye Li and Xiao Qing's fall. It was still looking straight at the entrance of the cave, as stiff as a statue.
At this time, Ye Li could finally see the Qingluan corpse in front of him clearly. The Qingluan corpse's body was indeed stiff. Looking closely, it was still very shriveled, and it was obvious that the blood in the body had been exhausted.
However, the appearance of the corpse is still well preserved, as if it has reached an incorruptible state.
The huge corpse sat on the ground, emitting a strong oppressive force, and its green feathers still radiated luster, which made it easy for people to misunderstand that it was still alive.
Xiaoqing and Ye Li stood in front of the corpse. Although they knew that it was no longer a living creature, they showed a somewhat nervous expression for no reason.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, there would actually be people from our tribe who could find their way here!!!"
Suddenly, a fluctuation of soul power appeared in the cave, and an old voice was transmitted directly into the souls of Ye Li and Xiao Qing.
Ye Li and Xiao Qing were suddenly stunned, with expressions of extreme shock on their faces.
"Who are you!?"
Xiao Qingren kept asking with some stuttering.
There was no one around, and this soul fluctuation appeared without any warning. Even Ye Li did not notice the source of the soul fluctuation.
"Hahaha, haven't you been staring at my body for a long time? I just introduced myself, so how come you don't know who I am now?"
The voice just now sounded again, conveying a feeling of kindness and joy in the soul fluctuations.
Ye Li and Xiao Qing, who felt this emotion, lowered their guard a little. No matter what, the owner of this soul fluctuation did not seem to have any ill intentions.
Hearing each other's words, Ye Li and Xiao Qing were both shocked and couldn't help but look at the Qingluan corpse in front of them, their hearts full of surprise.
"You are this Senior Qingluan. Isn't he already dead?!"
Ye Li couldn't help but say.
"How can you be so stupid, human boy? My body is indeed dead, but my soul is still alive!
I have been here for who knows how many years, and I have been waiting for someone from our Qingluan clan to show up again.
Until now, I thought that no one from our Qingluan clan would appear again, but I didn't expect that you would suddenly appear in front of me.
I have already felt the fight you had outside just now. Don't blame those bluebirds. Those children just don't want my soul to perish. They have been guarding here for I don't know how many years, and even their clan leader has changed for more than a dozen generations."
The voice of the huge blue phoenix echoed in Ye Li and Xiao Qing's souls.
As he spoke, a strong soul fluctuation and wind and fire spiritual energy gathered in the air, and a blue phoenix shadow appeared in the air, floating in front of Ye Li and Xiao Qing.
"Isn't this better? It should feel more natural if you have a living thing talking to you?"
The huge blue phoenix said with a smile, and there was a sense of relief in its tone.
Ye Li could feel that the huge blue phoenix in front of him should have a very kind personality and had no hostility even towards a human like him.
"Senior..."
Ye Li called softly.
"My name is Qingdi, you human can call me that. As for this little Qingluan, I should be considered your ancestor, so you can call me ancestor!"
The Qingluan phantom looked at Ye Li and Xiao Qing and said.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly called out "Senior Qingdi". Xiaoqing, who was standing next to him, swallowed his saliva, and quickly crawled on the ground, saying: "Xiaoqing greets the ancestor!!!"
"Xiao Qing, this name is not bad, I'll call you that!
I see that you are not very old, but you have reached the late stage of the Talisman Saint, and your bloodline power has been almost fully exerted. Is our Qingluan clan now entering a period of prosperity? There are many masters in the clan, so there must be new sacred beasts appearing, right?"
The Green Emperor looked Xiao Qing up and down and said this, his tone full of excitement.
Hearing its words, Xiao Qing was stunned, and then said awkwardly: "Ancestor... I... I actually don't know where our Qingluan clan is.
The reason why I can cultivate so fast is because of the help of Grandma Nine-Colored Peacock King and Ye Li. If it weren’t for them, my cultivation would not have reached the current level.
I have never seen my clan members since I was born. Now our Qingluan clan is almost extinct from the world. I may even be the last Qingluan."
As she spoke, Xiaoqing's eyes showed a look of desolation. (To be continued)
