1268 Immortal Clans
"So what if you are a beast? I don't care if you are human, beast, or god, I am not interested." Feng Yuxiang sneered in disdain.
However, the young man remained undisturbed by her words and said, "Don't be like that, beauty. I promise you it'll be worth your time. After all, I came down here from…"
The young man proceeded to point toward the sky with a confident smile on his face.
"So, you're from the Upper Heavens. What of it?" Feng Yuxiang responded, her patience wearing thin.
"Not just any Upper Heavens! The Seventh Heaven!" The young man proudly declared.
Feng Yuxiang rolled her eyes and responded, "Even if you're from the Seventh Heaven, I can't imagine someone of your standing bothering with beings from such a humble realm."
Despite her skeptical remarks, Feng Yuxiang couldn't deny that the young man standing in front of them exuded the unmistakable presence of someone hailing from the Upper Heavens.
"Please! I'm not the type to discriminate! It doesn't matter if they're from the Lower Heavens or the Supreme Heavens! As long as they're beautiful, they'll deserve my attention!" the young man proclaimed.
And he continued, "Furthermore, you ladies cannot deceive my eyes! I can tell whether someone is special or not with a glance, and you ladies are definitely special!"

However, knowing that he was someone from the Upper Heavens, there was a good chance that he came here to find Yuan, and she did not want to stir up any trouble that could lead back to him.
A moment later, seeing how they did not seem to care about his origin from the Seventh Heaven, he continued, "Okay, I get it. You don't care about the Upper Heavens— but what if I tell you that I am a Heavenly White Tiger from one of the Immortal Clans?"
"The Immortal Clans?" Feng Yuxiang's eyebrows raised upon hearing this unfamiliar term.
"I'm not surprised you haven't heard of them since they only exist in the Upper Heavens, but as a beast, surely, you know of the legendary Immortal Monarch, right?"
Both Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili's eyes flickered upon hearing this familiar name.
The young man noticed their interest and smiled inwardly, 'Got them!'
"What does the Immortal Monarch have to do with the Immortal Clans?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
The young man promptly replied with clear pride in his voice, "The Immortal Clans are lineages that descended from the Supreme Beings who served the Immortal Monarch. In simpler terms, our ancestors were among the nine Supreme Beings who followed the Immortal Monarch during his time. We're also some of the most powerful and influential families in the realm of beasts. There isn't a single beast that doesn't know of our name in the Upper Heavens. So, are you interested in lending me some of your time now?"
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Not really."
"Eh?" The young man's expression froze.
"Are your ears only for show? I already said that I'm not interested— multiple times. If your only method of courting is to flaunt your background, I feel sorry for you." Feng Yuxiang said before looking at Xi Meili and continuing, "Let's go."
And without paying the young man from the Immortal Clans any more attention, the two of them walked around him without looking back.
The young man stood there with an incredulous expression on his face. This marked the first instance where someone had turned him down despite learning of his background. However, what hurt him the most was Feng Yuxiang's nonchalant attitude towards the Immortal Clans.
In the Upper Heavens, the Immortal Clans are treated no differently than royalties. Divine Beasts would lower their heads before the Immortal Clans, much less ordinary beasts. In fact, even royalties in the world of beasts treated them with utmost respect.
The young man's body trembled in anger, and his aura suddenly began to fluctuate, causing the atmosphere there to change.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" The young man suddenly bellowed, his voice resonating through the air and causing it to quiver.
"You really don't know how to give up…" Feng Yuxiang sighed as she halted.
"This is no longer about me."
"Then what is it about?" Xi Meili asked in a nonchalant voice.
"Hmph. I won't be surprised if he's never been rejected in the Upper Heavens, so he's experiencing denial." Feng Yuxiang spoke out before the young man could respond.
And she continued, "What are you going to do now? Threaten us to come with you using your family's name?"
"How dare you…" The young man turned around to look at them with killing intent exuding from his yellow eyes, his white and black hair swirling wildly.

"You probably don't know this, but disrespecting the Immortal Clans is punishable by death— ignorant or not," the young man spoke in a cold voice.
"And I, Bai Xutao, shall execute you for your crimes."
A vicious light glimmered in Bai Xutao's eyes right before one of his hands suddenly flickered, turning invisible for a split second.
Xi Meili's eyes widened, and she instinctively pushed Feng Yuxiang away, "Watch out!"
"Wha—?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in surprise.
The next moment, a large cut appeared on Xi Meili's arm with blood running down her elbow.
"Oh? You actually saw that?" Bai Xutao expressed genuine surprise upon seeing this.
If Xi Meili hadn't pushed Feng Yuxiang away at the last moment, Bai Xutao would've taken Feng Yuxiang's head.
"You bastard… You really intended to kill her with this many people around… Are you out of your mind?" Xi Meili gritted her teeth in anger, her aura skyrocketing.
"A Spirit King… No, Spirit Emperor with her cultivation suppressed. Did you also come down here from the Upper Heavens? If so, there's no way you wouldn't know of the Immortal Clans, yet you dared to disrespect me and my family…" Bai Xutao narrowed his eyes at them.
And he continued, "So what if there's people here? You're the only ones I'm going to kill. If you think I would hold back because there are others here… think again."
"Crazy bastard…" Feng Yuxiang uttered in a cold voice as she stood back up.
