Ancient yao beasts had been emerging one after the other. Because of resentment, Gong Fu had nearly fallen to the ranks of the fiends while the Feiyi who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years had actually perished during the Ice Age due to the cold. This was simply absurd.

"Isn't this lie a bit too much? The Feiyi don't look like they have much destructive power, but whatever the case, they still lived past the era of the ancient great yao. How could they die because of this sort of natural calamity?" Chu Yu found this matter rather strange. It was similar to hearing about penguins from the south pole running over to their country and eventually freezing to death.

It didn't make sense at all.

Nevertheless, Zhuang Qing felt that this Feiyi wasn't lying. Although this Feiyi appeared sturdy, there were many scars caused by frostbite on its body. He couldn't speak the language of the modern yao world, and even the few words Chu Yu had spoken was enough to leave him trembling. All this not only indicated that the Feiyi had very little courage, but also his complete lack of interaction with the outside world. The only life-preserving skill he had learnt was probably the barrier to conceal his figure.

It was fortunate that he knew how to erect barriers. If he had been discovered by the humans, only a bullet would be needed to dispose of him.

"So you're the sole survivor of the Feiyi race?"

"I am indeed the only Feiyi on Hunxi Mountain," The Feiyi's two bare tails drooped, not daring to look at Zhuang Qing and the rest. He was the picture of a cowardly person who had been bullied.

"The Feiyi on Taihua Mountain have long been eradicated. Some places have already been developed into natural scenic spots for humans to appreciate," Zhuang Qing stated. "According to the management bureau's rules, you should have been given a prison sentence. But due to the special characteristics of your species, I will discuss with the other relevant departments before making a decision."

The Feiyi wasn't afraid of being imprisoned or whatnot. He had never been fond of walking around recklessly, so there was no difference no matter where he stayed.

Speaking of this, it was quite strange – their Feiyi race wouldn't bring about huge droughts if they stayed at Taihua and Hunxi Mountain, but the moment they left these places, not even a blade of grass would grow wherever they went.

Zhuang Qing discussed the matter regarding the Feiyi with the relevant departments. Every party had their own opinions. Some felt that there was meaning behind the existence of all life forms, and that there was only one Feiyi in the world, so they ought to treat it as a special type of breed and raise it. Others felt that the Feiyi's natural ability was too dangerous, and that they couldn't risk human lives and assets. There were also those who felt that the Feiyi should first be locked up and observed for a period of time so they could deal with any after-effects.

As the various parties were arguing ceaselessly on video, Zhuang Qing cut in. "The most important thing now isn't to decide how the Feiyi should be dealt with, but to investigate who brought him out of Hunxi Mountain."

"Why not place the Feiyi back on Hunxi Mountain?"

"No, I just went to take a look at Hunxi Mountain. The feng shui of the landscape there has been damaged by someone, so it can no longer seal the Feiyi's innate abilities," Zhuang Qing took out a photo of Taihua Mountain. "There are many mountain tops on Taihua Mountain that haven't been opened up for development, I think it'll be more suitable to seal him there."

"There are too many travelers at Taihuai Mountain, I'm afraid it isn't very suitable," The people from the security department were hesitant.

"Naturally, we won't let him roam freely. We'll seal him at a mountain top that people don't visit," Zhuang Qing put down the photo. "What does everything think about that?"
