"Don't barge in without reporting, Qi Chen!" Qi Yi scolded. "Quickly apologize to your two senior uncles and your master!"
Qi Chen came to his senses and quickly said, "Master, Senior Uncles, please forgive my rudeness."
Li Yi said calmly, "Chen'er, as this is your first offense, I will not punish you. If there is a next time, your eldest senior uncle will not let you off lightly!"
Qi Chen quickly replied, "Thank you, eldest senior uncle. I would not dare, and there will be no next time!"
"Disciple has not seen his father for a long time and was a bit excited."
Yuan Shi also said, "It's understandable that father and son have not seen each other for a long time. We'll let it slide this time."
Qi Chen nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, second senior uncle."
Qi Yi also said, "Chen'er, you should go out first. Your master and senior uncles have something to discuss. After we finish, I will come to find you."
Qi Chen had no choice but to withdraw and go find Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.
After Qi Chen left, Qi Yi said, "I have failed as a father and apologize to you three for the embarrassment!"
Tong Tian chuckled and said, "Brother, you are too polite. Now that Chen'er is my disciple, if there is any failure in teaching, it is my fault as his master!"
Qi Yi smiled and said, "I dare not blame you, fellow Daoist. Please, Senior Daoist Taishang, enlighten me. Is there something wrong with the Heavenly Dao oath?"
Yuan Shi and Tong Tian also looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi said, "Hongjun's intentions are sinister. Brother, think about it. The Dragon Clan unified the scaly beasts, the Phoenix unified the avian race, and your Qilin Clan unified the terrestrial beasts.
With the exception of a few, all living beings in the Primordial World are included in these three clans. If this continues, your three clans will surely become stronger and stronger."
At this moment, Tong Tian said, "Big Brother, isn't this a good thing for Brother Qi Yi?"
Yuan Shi also nodded. Li Yi asked, "Do you, Brother Qi Yi, also feel the same?"
Qi Yi nodded and said, "I am foolish and truly see nothing wrong with it!"
Li Yi sighed again and continued, "If it were only this, there would be no harm. However, how will the three clans coexist in the future? The resources of the Primordial World are limited. If the three clans fight over cultivation resources, what then?"
Yuan Shi and Tong Tian also reacted and said, "Big Brother is right. Once the three clans engage in war, it will not be a small skirmish between one race and another."
Qi Yi also realized it and exclaimed, "Once the three clans erupt in war, it will surely sweep across the Primordial World. At that time, besides a few great divine abilities, I'm afraid no one will be able to stay out of it."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Precisely!"
Qi Yi quickly asked, "Then what should I do? Should I not participate?"
Li Yi sighed and said, "It's too late! If Brother had not participated, you have already made the Heavenly Dao oath. How can the Heavenly Dao let it go?"
Qi Yi bowed and said, "Please, Daoist, save my Qilin Clan!"
Li Yi said, "If Brother wishes to fight for a sliver of hope, you must unify the terrestrial beasts as quickly as possible, striving to do so before Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng. Once you unify the terrestrial beasts, Brother, you must immediately increase your strength. If you can unify the Primordial World, there will be no problem!"
Qi Yi sighed and said, "How easy is it to say! If Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng are not a match, they will surely join forces to deal with me. This situation is unsolvable!"
Qi Yi suddenly asked, "Will it affect Chen'er!"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Chen'er is also a member of your Qilin Clan, and more importantly, the young master of your Qilin Clan, so he will naturally bear the brunt of it!"
Tong Tian heard this and quickly asked, "Big Brother! Is there a solution?"
Qi Yi also looked at Li Yi. Li Yi said, "There is a way, it's not difficult, and it's not easy!"
Before Tong Tian could speak, Qi Yi hurriedly asked, "What way?"
Li Yi continued, "The calamity arises from the Qilin Clan. If he were not a member of the Qilin Clan, then it would naturally have nothing to do with him!
The Heavenly Dao merit that the Heavenly Dao bestowed has been sealed within him and has not been refined by him. As long as this merit is returned to heaven and earth, he owes nothing to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao, being impartial, will naturally not make things difficult for him."
Qi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Li Yi, saying, "Thank you, Senior Daoist Taishang, for saving my son's life!"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, do not say that. Whether Chen'er can successfully escape danger depends on you expelling him from the Qilin Clan, letting the Heavenly Dao know that Chen'er is no longer a member of the Qilin Clan."
Qi Yi quickly said, "I will immediately expel him from the Qilin Clan and make a Heavenly Dao oath so that the Heavenly Dao understands that he is not one of my Qilin Clan."
Li Yi quickly said, "Brother, you are too hasty. This is merely my conjecture. If it truly comes to that last moment, it will not be too late to do so."
Qi Yi had only one son, Qi Chen, and naturally did not wish to sever their father-son relationship until the last resort.
Hearing Li Yi say this, he knew it was a last resort.
Li Yi sighed and said, "Brother, go and see Chen'er! After this farewell, Brother will certainly have no time to visit him, and Chen'er misses you dearly."
Qi Yi also knew that it was as Li Yi said. After leaving this time, he would spend all his time unifying the terrestrial beasts and would definitely have no time to visit Qi Chen in Kunlun.
He then bid farewell and said, "Three fellow Daoists, take care. I am going to see Chen'er."
Li Yi and the other two stood up and sent Qi Yi out of the Taiqing Palace. Qi Yi then flew towards Qi Chen.
After Qi Yi left, Li Yi said to Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, "Third Brother, the next period of time will be up to you to look after Kunlun Mountain. Your Second Brother and I will go into seclusion to refine the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner. Until we emerge from seclusion, guard Kunlun well. The Primordial World will not be peaceful for long."
Tong Tian knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately nodded and said, "Big Brother, rest assured, I will guard Kunlun well!"
Li Yi nodded and said again, "Also, cultivate diligently when you have nothing to do!
Brother Qi Yi might stay in Kunlun for a while to accompany Chen'er. Please host him well. Your Second Brother and I are going into seclusion."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he called Yuan Shi and together they entered the Chaos Bead to go into seclusion.
Qi Yi spent a few days with Qi Chen in Kunlun. Worried about the Qilin Clan, he rushed back to Qilin Mountain.
