After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 240 Feather Clan Holy Temple

After the Lord of Baiyu City fell silent, the Praying Spirit White Crane flew off him, and his vision returned to complete darkness.

After a while, Shen Xu's shoulders slumped, and the white sleeping nest returned to his sight, while a gorgeous feather with a golden-red edge appeared on the girl's hair.

Seeing this, Shen Xu's gaze sharpened. It seemed that Qi Ling Baihe agreed with his decision to help Baiyu City Lord.

"Thank you!" Lord Baiyu thanked the Qiling White Crane.

"Lord of the city, please tell me what you want me to do. With the Praying White Crane as my guarantor, I will not refuse if I can do it."

"I want you to take her to the source of the curse to find a solution," Lord Baiyu said earnestly.

"The source of the curse?"

"To be honest, our ancestor was a descendant of a powerful demon saint. However, as we have intermarried with humans, the demon saint bloodline in our bodies has become very diluted."

Unless one cultivates to a certain level, the bloodline of the Demon Saint will remain dormant within our bodies, making us appear no different from ordinary humans.

But Xiao Ruo is different. As the summoning intensifies, the concentration of her demon saint bloodline has reached a level where she can revert to her ancestral form.

Based on the information I've gathered from the Sword Alliance investigations over the years, Xiao Ru's situation suggests she's been selected for the Holy Selection by the Feather Clan Temple.

The summons from the void were actually from the Feather Clan Temple, which wanted to summon her to receive the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Saint, the source of our bloodline.

However, Xiao Ru is not a pure Feather Clan member. As her Feather Clan bloodline continues to strengthen, a severe conflict arises between the two bloodlines within her, causing her body and soul to become extremely weak.

Entering the Feather Clan Temple in this state would only lead to certain death, so I hope you can take her with you to the Feather Clan Temple.”

After listening to the White Feather City Lord's explanation, Shen Xu was immediately confused. "The Heavenly Demon Saint, the Feather Clan Holy Temple, the Holy Selection, what are all these things?"

He felt as if he had come into contact with an extraordinary world. The fact that Zuo Chen dared to help the Four Sword Saints achieve the status of a half-saint had already shocked him.

The woman in front of him now wants him to come into contact with a powerful demon saint who has broken through the void. This is not the way to seek death!

Looking at Shen Xu's expression, City Lord Baiyu continued, "Don't think about refusing yet. First of all, take this opportunity so that your Praying Spirit White Crane can also obtain the inheritance of the Demon Saint."

Since ancient times, the Praying White Crane has needed the assistance of its patrons to become a Demon Saint, so the Praying White Crane's inheritance must also include the part about its patrons.

I think you shouldn't refuse the inheritance of a powerful demon saint.

Secondly, if you're willing to help me, the City Lord's Mansion can give you one million Nourishing Essence Pills every year for the next ten years, a total of ten million Nourishing Essence Pills. Don't think it's too little; that's the maximum I can give you.”

"Hiss~" Hearing Bai Yu City Lord's calm words, Shen Xu couldn't help but gasp.

My heart is fluttering, absolutely fluttering!

The number of ten million was too enormous, making him feel suffocated. He needed to buy flying swords and pay exorbitant fees for inter-domain teleportation, so naturally, the more Nourishing Yuan Pills the better.

But he quickly calmed down. Ten million Nourishing Essence Pills were indeed an astronomical figure, but he also needed to be alive to get them.

"May I ask what the Feather Clan's Holy Temple is?"

"Actually, I don't know much about it either. After all, the True Origin Continent is a world of humans."

But I know that the temples of each race are for selecting suitable members of the race and allowing them to inherit the legacy of the race's saints.

Only saints with extraordinary cultivation can leave their legacy within the temple, but I'm not sure about the specific procedures.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu frowned. "I am not a member of the Feather Clan, so how can I enter the Feather Clan's Holy Temple?"

"Relying on the Praying White Crane, because the Praying White Crane's inheritance is very special, it can bring outsiders into the Feather Clan's Holy Temple."

"The Feathered Clan Temple summoned your daughter, City Lord, not the Praying White Crane. I'm afraid it won't allow me to enter the Feathered Clan Temple!"

"The source of our Feather Clan bloodline is a Spirit Crane with extraordinary cultivation," the White Feather City Lord said quietly.

"wipe!"

"Since you have gained the approval of a Prayer Crane, you absolutely meet the requirements of the Temple."

"When I learned that you had gained the approval of the Praying White Crane, I had already made this plan. Xiao Ru's condition no longer allows me to delay any longer." The White Feather City Lord looked at the girl with gentle eyes.

To be honest, Shen Xu was very tempted, whether it was ten million Nourishing Yuan Pills or the inheritance of a Heavenly Demon Saint, but all of this was on the premise that City Lord Baiyu was not lying to him.

However, since the Feather Clan Temple is a place dedicated to inheritance, there shouldn't be any risks. The White Feather City Lord wouldn't be idle enough to trick a mere Qi Condensation Realm cultivator like him.

Moreover, this matter is guaranteed by the Praying White Crane. It is said that this creature can ward off evil and bring good fortune, so it probably wouldn't have brought it here if this matter were to turn out badly.

With this in mind, Shen Xu made a decision and asked, "I wonder how much longer she can hold on?"

"In less than two years," Lord Baiyu replied with a sorrowful expression.

"Let me think about this matter. After all, I still have a mission to complete. I will come back here to give you an answer after I finish my mission," Shen Xu said earnestly.

In fact, he had already implicitly agreed to this in his heart; as a good person, he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

But he couldn't just leave Li Xiaoyi and the others here, so he could only wait until he returned from Shuanghe Village before considering the matter.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, City Lord Bai Yu gracefully rose and bowed deeply to him.

……

"Shen Xu, what did City Lord Baiyu say to you?" Bai Lu asked curiously from the flying shuttle.

She made many conditions for me to save her daughter.

When he left White Feather City, the city lord instructed him to try not to reveal the matter of the Feather Clan's Holy Temple, and he could guess why.

"What exactly happened to the city lord's daughter?" Guan Bi asked.

"The demon bloodline and human bloodline in her body have clashed, and she won't live for more than a few years."

"Ah! How pitiful," Ye Zhi said with some sympathy.

"Can you save her?" Li Xiaoyi asked with some doubt.

“According to the city lord’s method, I can indeed save her, but only in theory.”

I hesitated, unsure whether to save her or not, since the city lord's method could very well put me in danger as well.

"Can you tell us how to save her? Maybe we can help you!" Bai Lu said.

"Do you know about the Human Temple?" Although the city lord told him to keep quiet, he couldn't feel at ease without knowing what the temple was.

"The Temple!" Ye Zhi's expression suddenly changed.

"You're going to enter the Human Race Temple!!" Bai Lu suddenly exclaimed.

"How could that be? Just tell me what exactly the Temple is all about," Shen Xu said helplessly.

"I only heard Aunt Lan mention it once. In the vast void, only the most outstanding geniuses of the human race are qualified to enter the Human Race Holy Temple and obtain the inheritance of the human race saints," Bai Lu said with some longing.

"Moreover, the temples of each race seem to be involved in something very secretive, but unfortunately Aunt Lan said that it is not something I can understand at the moment."

“Only Su Jing from the Sword Alliance has ever been inside,” Li Xiaoyi suddenly said.

"What?" Shen Xu asked in disbelief.

"Two years ago, when Su Jing broke through to the Yuan Dan realm, his core was at the ninth grade. He was summoned by the Human Race Holy Temple once, which shocked the entire Xingchuan Region at the time," Guan Bi said with a slight frown.

"A ninth-grade Yuan Dan!!"

Shen Xu's expression immediately became extremely solemn. He had not expected Su Jing to be so strong, and he finally understood why Su Jing said he had never seen a true genius.

He must enter the Feather Clan Temple, otherwise he might not be a match for Su Jing in the Ningzhou Grand Competition six years later.

"Shen Xu, may I ask what grudge you have against Su Jing? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to offend him," Bai Lu asked with some concern.

"He's too greedy!" Shen Xu's gaze became extremely distant.
