My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

Immortal Lord Xuanlin's gaze swept over the crowd.

"Although you are not from my Qilin clan, my Qilin clan governs the Five Heavens, a vast territory with countless cave heavens."

"Even if the Immortal Alliance truly splits and a war breaks out, it most likely won't affect the Fifth Heaven. You can rest assured under the protection of my Qilin Clan."

The previous Immortal Lord Xuanlin was indeed very optimistic about Zhong Qing, and because of Xiao Hei, he even stood on Zhong Qing's side in the previous incident with Wei Yitian.

But he did not intend to go to war with the Celestials because of this matter like the Immortal Lord Langhuan.

If Zhong Qing were still alive, he might still stand on the side of the human race because of Xiao Hei's matter and his optimism about Zhong Qing's own future.

But now Zhong Qing can't come back after all.

Therefore, he could not drag the Qilin clan and the entire Immortal Alliance into war because of this matter.

This is also the reason why he said those words in the Fairy Palace Hall before.

Otherwise, if he had chosen to stand on the side of Immortal Lord Langhuan, the two sides might have really started fighting on the spot.

No matter what the reason, Immortal Lord Xuanlin did not want to see the Immortal Alliance fall apart and fight to the death internally.

So he chose to withdraw in time, and no matter how the Immortal Alliance fought openly or secretly, he did not intend to intervene.

In the days to come, he plans to take Xiao Hei back to the Qilin clan and train him wholeheartedly.

Except for Xiao Hei, Zhong Qing's disciples and subordinates have basically no relationship with the Qilin clan. However, Immortal Lord Xuanlin is willing to protect everyone together. He has done his utmost for the sake of Zhong Qing and Xiao Hei.

But no one knows what Immortal Lord Xuanlin is thinking.

After he said this, the mountaintop temple fell into silence for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

But then, a burst of laughter broke the silence.

"Hahaha, uncle, you really know how to joke."

Xiao Hei burst into laughter: "Even Master Hei made me laugh."

"You actually said that the master will not come back?"

"Master Hei, I have a life contract with my master."

"If the master were dead, how could I, Hei Ye, still be standing here? This joke is very funny. Hei Ye is very happy. I called everyone here just to tell a joke. Well, it's very creative and suits Hei Ye's personality. Uncle, you are worthy of being a fellow tribesman of Hei Ye."

Hearing Xiao Hei's words, many people's eyes lit up: "That's right! Xiao Hei is still fine, so Master must be fine too!"

"I was so scared, it turned out to be a false alarm."

Immortal Lord Xuanlin seemed to have anticipated what Xiao Hei would say. He shook his head and sighed softly.

"Yes, Zhong Qing is indeed still alive, and he may live for quite a long time."

"But that doesn't mean he can come back."

"Until the Nine Heavens are completely cracked, the Demon Heaven will never be opened again."

"He is trapped in it, and there are many dangers."

"Perhaps he can hold on for another thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years."

"But cracking the Nine Heavens is a process that will take millions or even tens of millions of years."

"He won't make it to that time."

Everyone fell silent again and looked at each other.

Xiao Hei frowned and snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about, uncle? I'm not saying that you have no knowledge. Nothing in the world can trap the master."

"As long as the master wants to come back, he can come back in a few minutes. Since he hasn't come back yet, it means he doesn't think it's necessary."

Xuanlin Immortal Lord frowned slightly: "Xiao Hei, I know you have great confidence in your master."

"But the dangers of the Nine Heavens are beyond your imagination."

"Over the past few months, even with the combined efforts of the entire Immortal Alliance and several Immortal Lords, we have still been unable to open the entrance to Moruo Heaven."

"No matter how strong Zhong Qing is, he can't defeat the entire Immortal Alliance..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Hei interrupted him impatiently.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, uncle. Since we are from the same clan and you taught me so many tricks, I won't bother with you. But if you continue to talk nonsense, I will be angry."
