Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 220 Father?

When Yang Lujia heard the story from Fu Yishi, his interest was piqued. It seemed like there are more than one expert like him in the Five Realms, and they were roaming around like spectating hidden dragons.

It was necessary for him to be more careful from today and onwards. However, he did not expect the Holy Light Emperor to be a kindhearted person. It seemed like he had to investigate further what happened to his future fourth disciple.

With the story told by Fu Yishi, it was close to impossible for someone like the Holy Light Emperor to kick that future fourth disciple of his. He must have his reasons. Those reasons must have stemmed from someone who hated or envied his future fourth disciple for whatever advantageous aspect he had over the other.

He spared not a single glance at Fu Yishi after he reduced him to ashes. Fu Yishi deserved death. He betrayed his friend for his own benefit. Yang Lujia knew that betrayal was something he had also done in the past, but he hated it when other people would do it to him. At the very least, betraying those who were dear to him was one of the least he would do—in his current life.

He had reminisced about the past and wanted to repent for the sins which had caused other people distress and pain. Nevertheless, he shook off these thoughts and looked at the Bracelets of Light. There were several of these. Basically, he could probably get half of everyone from the Third Region to enter the Second Region with this enormous number of bracelets.

At this time, Brownie suddenly flew to his side. The puppy's eyes were on the very core of the formation. Although it was dark, as cultivators, they could clearly see everything before them.

"There seems to be something horribly strong hiding within the depths of the formation," Brownie surmised. "We should get out of here as soon as possible. Moreover, that something seems to have consciousness and is hostile towards every one of us."

Yang Lujia naturally also felt the hostility of the beast lying down in the core of the array formation, even with its eyes closed. It had a terrifying body, although it was only a soul. It must be the Red Qilin described by Fu Yishi's story of the Holy Light Emperor encountering 'that' man with his servant.

He hurriedly waved his hands and all the Bracelets of Light disappeared from everyone's sight. This did not shock them except for the Vengeful Pangolin who had first seen such kind of a method. Even it could not do as much as little that Yang Lujia could.

ROAR!

An ear-splitting wail echoed into everyone's ears. Yin Hang's ears even bled and so were the others'—except for Brownie, Cai Hong, and Yang Lujia who remained unharmed. However, Yang Lujia also healed them fast with the rules of life.

"A very proficient control of the rules of life!" they heard the beast exclaim. "No wonder! No wonder!"

When the beast finally appeared in front of them, Yang Lujia could not help but suck a mouthful of cold air. The beast was incomparably huge. Moreover, the space within the core of the array formation seemed to be expanding according to the size of the beast.

It looked like a species of cat merged with a breed of dog. However, its appearance could be said to be intimidating. Its looks could even cause a mortal's death without warning.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the array formation's core?" it asked, its gaze turning to Yang Lujia with a questioning look. Moreover, it was curious about how Yang Lujia was so sufficient of the rules of life. It was his first encountering such a proficient control of the rule, except for the Vermillion Bird's Rules of Life-Flame.

However, even with the stern face and voice of the other party, Yang Lujia remained nonchalant. He knew that if they tried to escape from this place, they would not be able to do so. He could tell.

This beast was much stronger than he was, if not, at most slightly.

"I am here to take control of the array formation!" Yang Lujia steeled himself and looked at the gigantic beast with resolute eyes.

'This brat seems to be so determined. Never mind… let me let him taste the pain first…"

The Qilin made a compromise with itself.

Despite his fear of the Qilin, Yang Lujia seemed to have broken through a barrier of himself. Before, he would cower in this world no matter how weak his opponents might be—for they might possess trump cards he didn't know.

However, this time—for the first time, in his 18 years of existence in this world, he did not fear anything—especially the Qilin. He felt like he had nothing to be afraid of.

Even Brownie began to doubt himself whether this was still the same Yang Lujia he knew before.

As Yang Lujia approached the beast, where the core of the array formation was situated, his eyes slowly turned purple. It was as though the world slowed down when the pressure from his body weighed down on the core, as though he was commanding the formation to submit to him.

It startled the Red Qilin, its eyes turned wide, even more so for the slumbering four divine beasts. With all their might, they immediately teleported to the core of the array formation. They sensed a familiar aura. This aura was the same as their master.

Had their master come back for them after such a long time? Finally?!

All of them rushed to where the core of the array formation was. Meanwhile, the Red Qilin stood frozen as it saw Yang Lujia's purple eyes. It even felt like it was Yang Lujia's prey.

He really felt it. The feeling he had almost forgotten but vowed to never forget—the blood of their master resonated with Yang Lujia's. Seeing the dashing looks of Yang Lujia and the way how he carried himself, the Red Qilin finally realized something!

It hurriedly bowed and did not dare erase the pressure Yang Lujia was emitting! ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

"Your Highness! I am deeply ashamed and a sinner for having been unable to recognize you! Pardon my rude behavior! I would never dare do that again!"

When the four divine beasts arrived, they were shocked to see that the Red Qilin was already kneeling in front of a kid. However, when they met Yang Lujia's purple eyes, they felt cold sweat trickling down their backs.

It was too scary! It was as though they were seeing their master in his enraged mode!

"Why does he resemble master so much?" the White Tiger, who was the most slow-witted of them all, blurted out and looked at Yang Lujia inquisitively.

"Shut up! Kneel down! This person here is our young master! His Highness is the esteemed son of our master! You all bow down to him!"

When Yang Lujia heard what the Qilin said, his eyes almost bulged out. He couldn't believe it. These five divine beasts knew his father all this time? Who were they? Why did he know about his father? Why did he abandon him if he was alive?

"I know that Your Highness has questions in mind. Please do ask. I will try as much as I can to satisfy Your Highness. However, I should let His Highness know that there are some secrets that I can't divulge," the Red Qilin said, its face turning solemn.

Yang Lujia had several questions in mind. However, he knew that he could not answer all of them in one stroke.

"Who are you? When was the last time your master brought you here?" Yang Lujia's eyes were still purple. His domineering voice and dashing appearance really reminded them of their previous master who had abandoned them.

Meanwhile, Yang Lujia did not address their master as his father already. He wanted to make sure he was really related to this man. Never did he expect that the one Fu Yishi told him about, which was the story of the Holy Light Emperor and that handsome man, could be his father. Although it was only a speculation at the moment, he somewhat felt closer to the five divine beasts. However, he could not let his guard down, lest these beasts would suddenly attack him.

There was the White Tiger of the West. Its body was covered with fur—eyes as blue as ice. His body was nowhere as gigantic as the Red Qilin. However, the White Tiger could be said to be half the size of the latter.

The others also had the same size as him. As for the Azure Dragon, his body was only slightly bigger than the other three—the color of his skin resembled the azure skies and the peaceful seas. Meanwhile, the Vermillion Bird had yellow fur, and some of her body parts were even set ablaze. Along with it, there were even rules of life and flames intertwined. On the other hand, the timidest of them all, the Black Tortoise—who until now had only observed Yang Lujia from within his shell.

"It had been a very long time since the master brought us here. I already forgot the passage of time and had long only waited for the master's return. At that time, he still had not you. However, he told us that in the future, there will be a kid or a boy who will approach this place and we must treat him with the utmost respect—the same as how we treat him as our master," the Red Qilin as he deeply bowed his head.

"Uh… I have a father? Does he look like me?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Almost exactly. Your father just looks more mature," the Red Qilin replied.

"Father actually predicted that I'd come here?"

"It seems so?" The Red Qilin thought about it. It seemed like he had not really seen the extent of his master's overall strength.

'My father is so powerful that he can actually make these five divine beasts loyal to him. Even after the day they were abandoned by my father, they still did not forget not to respect their master's words?! What kind of person is my father?'
