"Roar~"

The golden lion roared in dissatisfaction and was then slapped.

When they were still halfway to Sky Curtain City, Yan Ruyu suddenly froze, her eyes filled with confusion.

The little white fox raised its paw and scratched her pretty face, asking:

"Sister Ruyu, what's wrong?"

Everyone turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

"I..." Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I think I can sense the presence of the phoenix. Just now, I saw the image of the phoenix in my mind. It seemed like she was being suppressed somewhere, and she was in great pain and helpless."

"Um?"

Lingyun and the Great Sage immediately extended their divine senses to sense everything within a radius of tens of millions of miles.

However, they did not sense the phoenix's presence.

Yan Ruyu shook her head, and the image in her mind disappeared again.

"It must be a hallucination."

She spoke softly, but for the rest of the journey, her mood remained low, as if she were infected by the helplessness and desolation of the suppressed phoenix in her mind.

The closer they got to Tianmu City, the sadder Yan Ruyu became.

Seeing this, Ling Yun comforted him:

Don't be sad!

The Great Sage's Way:

"If it can even evade our divine senses, the being that suppressed the phoenix must be incredibly powerful."

I'm certain the phoenix is ​​suppressed beneath Sky Curtain City.

Ling Yun nodded slightly. They did not doubt Yan Ruyu's words, after all, her martial soul was a seven-colored phoenix, which was very sensitive to its own kind.

Perhaps only Yan Ruyu can capture the emotions and consciousness of the phoenix scattered between heaven and earth.

"That's right, the phoenix is ​​very likely suppressed beneath Sky Curtain City!"

Upon arriving at the gate of Tianmu City, Ling Yun felt that the temperature under his feet was significantly higher.

The phoenix is ​​a fire lord, and even if it is suppressed in a special and powerful way, its fire energy cannot be completely concealed.

"Once we get to the city, we'll investigate the exact location where the phoenix was suppressed. After all, it was suppressed by a peerless powerhouse. If we rush there rashly, we won't be able to save the phoenix, and we might even endanger the people of Tianmu City!"

Ling Yun spoke, and everyone nodded slightly.

So, are we going to eat steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers now?

The golden lion raised its head and asked.

Snap!

The Great Sage slapped the Golden Lion on the head.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! Ah Bao, let's find the best chopped chili fish head restaurant!"

"Don't you want to eat it too?" the golden lion muttered aggrievedly.

Then I got slapped again.

At this moment, the Golden Lion is enjoying the same treatment as the second senior brother.

Upon entering Sky Curtain City, the group walked down the main street, heading towards the chopped chili fish head restaurant.

Just then, a young man blocked Ling Yun and his group's path, pointing arrogantly at Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran, and said:

"We three boys have our eyes on you two, now come with us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened; this person was rather domineering.

Abao glared at the man and said angrily:

"Who is your third young master?"

The man's lips curled up in a smug smile as he said:

"Are your eyes in your ass? Can't you see I'm a member of the Ji family?"

The man pointed to the character "姬" (Ji) tattooed on his chest.

Snap!

Ah Bao slapped the man so hard he knelt on the ground.

"Is the Ji family so powerful? We wiped out the Xuanyuan family! Get lost!"

With that, Abao kicked the man away.

"You just wait!"

The man covered his face and ran towards an attic.

A pedestrian on the roadside whispered to Abao:

"Young man, you should leave quickly. Tianmu City is the territory of the Ji family, and the Ji family is the second largest family in the Tianyuan Dynasty."

If the Xuanyuan family didn't have those two unimaginable figures behind them, the Ji family would definitely be the number one family in terms of power.

"Offending the Ji family means no one can protect you!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Of the two unimaginable beings from the Xuanyuan family, one had been eaten, and the other was standing obediently next to the Great Sage.

Another passerby said:

"Ji Chen, the third young master of the Ji family, has a penchant for collecting beauties from all over the world. Any woman with exceptional beauty must belong to him, Ji Chen, no matter who she is."

As he spoke, the passerby glanced around, walked up to Ling Yun and the others, and lowered his voice.

"It is said that Ji Chen likes married women the most, but of course this is not the most important thing."

What's most appalling about him is that he would scatter the souls of the beautiful women he fancied, and then turn their bodies into incorruptible specimens to admire as ornaments.

Sigh~ To be honest, my wife was stolen away by Ji Chen, and now... sigh~

After saying that, the passerby walked away with a face full of grief and hatred.

"The eight young masters of the Ji family each have different hobbies. The eldest young master likes to watch people fight against monsters. As long as a man is strong and healthy, he will capture him, and most of them will die at the hands of monsters."

The second young master has a fondness for handsome men, so you all must be careful not to catch his eye.

The third young master is fond of women; the fourth young master enjoys drinking human milk; the fifth young master enjoys killing; the sixth young master enjoys pretending to be a bandit to kill and rob; and the seventh young master enjoys raising vicious dogs and often releases them to bite people.

The Eighth Prince was the most normal-looking, but he had a particular fondness for eating insects—yes, insects!

A passerby spoke up.

After listening, Ling Yun and his group couldn't help but sigh that the eight young masters of the Ji family were all incredibly eccentric.

At this moment, in the pavilion, the Third Young Master Ji Chen took a sip of spiritual tea, put down the teacup, and looked at a middle-aged man beside him.

The man nodded slightly, then disappeared and appeared in front of Ling Yun and his group.

"You two come with me!"

He then looked at Ling Yao, "You're coming with me too. This isn't a discussion, it's an announcement."

After speaking, he released the aura of the Void Refinement Realm, pointed at Ling Yun and the others, and said coldly:

"Cooperate obediently. What Young Master Ji has set his sights on is Young Master Ji's. No one may resist."

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!

"Isn't this just like that Thunder God Sect?!"

Ah Bao said in a deep voice.

The Great Sage spoke:

"Go back and tell your young master to come and apologize within ten breaths. This is not a discussion, it's a notification!"

"presumptuous!"

The middle-aged man flew into a rage, “In Tianmu City and even the entire Tianyuan Dynasty, no one has ever dared to speak to the Ji family like this.”

die! "

After saying that, the middle-aged man raised his hand and slapped Ling Yun and his group. In his opinion, this group of weaklings could be wiped out with a wave of his hand!

The next moment!

"Roar~"

The golden lion charged forward and swallowed the middle-aged man whole.

Hiss~

Seeing this, the onlookers all gasped in shock. Were these people really that ruthless? They even dared to kill members of the Ji family.

However, no one gloated; they were all secretly pleased, having long coveted the Bitter Princess family of Tianmu City.

A passerby, a Nascent Soul cultivator, hurriedly shouted:

"Fellow Daoists, hurry up! The Ji family has three Mahayana stage cultivators and fifty Integration stage cultivators."

Those three Mahayana stage cultivators are using special magical artifacts to conceal their auras. They are invincible on the Tianyuan Continent. Take my advice, fellow Daoist, leave quickly and don't confront the Ji family head-on.

Upon hearing this, the golden lion revealed a look of disdain.

"What kind of bullshit Ji family is this? It's nothing but a slap!"

As he spoke, the Golden Lion raised his right palm, which instantly grew to a hundred feet in size, and slammed down directly onto the pavilion where Ji Chen was.
