With a loud bang!

The pavilion where the Third Young Master Ji Chen was located was smashed to dust by the Golden Lion.

Hiss~

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, then silently gave a thumbs up.

"Wow, that blond kid is awesome!"

"Although he's a bit ugly, he's really brave; he even dared to hit the third young master of the Ji family!"

"Finally, someone dares to deal with the Ji family!"

"..."

The Golden Lion transformed into a human, a blond-haired boy, but the Great Sage used an illusion to make the Golden Lion look very ugly.

However, the Golden Lion himself was unaware of this, thinking he was a handsome young man.

"presumptuous!"

Ji Chen crawled out of the ruins and pointed at Ling Yun and the others, shouting angrily.

"How dare you disrespect this young master! Today, no one can save you!"

The next moment!

Ji Chen crushed a jade pendant, and instantly ten Nascent Soul Realm experts rushed out of the Ji family and arrived above Ling Yun and the others.

The moment the powerful figure from the Ji family appeared, all the onlookers scattered in panic, fearing they would be targeted by the Ji family.

At this moment, the city lord of Tianmu City arrived with several cultivators.

The city lord learned of the fact that someone was opposing the Ji family immediately. Upon hearing the servant's description, the city lord immediately took out Ling Yun's portrait and asked the servant if it was this person.

Upon receiving a definite answer, the city lord immediately brought his men.

The city lord then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Chen and smiled, saying:

"Third Young Master, please calm down. They are distinguished guests of the royal family. For the sake of this city lord and the royal family, let's let this matter go!"

However, Ji Chen glanced at him and said sarcastically:

"Give you face? Who do you think you are? Do you have any face in front of the Ji family?"

Don't try to intimidate me with the royal family. When I get angry, even the royal family will tremble in fear.

Get out of here! Or the City Lord's Mansion will vanish!

Upon hearing this, the city lord's face turned ashen, and a deep sense of humiliation appeared in his eyes.

The cultivator standing nearby angrily shouted:

"The city lord is a member of the royal family..."

Snap!

Ji Chen slapped the cultivator hard across the face.

"What right do you have to raise your voice at me? Kneel down! Or die!"

Seeing this, the city lord could no longer suppress his anger.

"Even when the Third Young Master beats a dog, he should consider its owner. He dares to beat a tribute dog in front of me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Chen suddenly looked at the city lord and said coldly:

"If you say another word, I'll slap you across the face!"

The city lord was filled with shame and indignation. In Tianmu City, he had always been suppressed by the Ji family, and his words were not as effective as those of the Ji family steward.

At this moment, Ling Yun waved to the city lord.

"The City Lord is here!"

The city lord nodded slightly and brought the offerings to Ling Yun's side.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ling. I apologize for my incompetence, which caused you all to suffer in Tianmu City."

Ling Yun laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with the city lord. From now on, you are the one who calls the shots in Tianmu City!"

The next moment!

With a wave of his hand, Ling Yun instantly obliterated the ten Nascent Soul Realm experts in the sky.

He didn't even let out a scream.

Seeing this, Ji Chen's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Ling Yun to have such strength; he might have bitten off more than he could chew today.

However, he was not flustered at all, because the Ji family still had three patriarchs in the Mahayana stage, any one of whom could wipe out Ling Yun and his group.

However, before he could speak, he was imprisoned by an invisible force.

The next moment!

Ling Yun and his group arrived above the Ji family's territory.

With a loud bang!

In front of the Ji family, Ji Chen's body slowly transformed into a human lower body and a rooster upper body.

This is Ji Chen's true form. The Ji family's ancestor was originally... a chicken, known in the demon realm as the Crying Heaven Divine Phoenix.

Over countless years of intermarriage with humans, the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix has become increasingly diluted.

"How dare you!"

The head of the Ji family was furious and pointed at Ling Yun and the others, shouting angrily:

"You trespassed into the Ji family and even killed my third son. No matter who's behind you, you must die! Your entire clan must be wiped out!"

"Please, our three patriarchs, make your move!"

Knowing that he was no match for Ling Yun and the others, the head of the Ji family ordered three Mahayana stage elders to take action.

boom!

The void trembled violently as three terrifying figures appeared.

The next moment!

"Roar~"

The Golden Lion reverted to its original form and immediately unleashed its strongest divine power, the Golden Lion's Roar.

In an instant, the three patriarchs were reduced to their original forms.

Just as the Golden Lion was about to obliterate the souls of the three patriarchs, the White Qilin Ling Shan said somewhat shyly:

"Brother~ Can you leave those three big roosters behind!"

Back when Ling Shan was still the lord of Bai Xin City, he loved to eat chicken.

"You've already called me 'brother,' how could I not save some for you?"

"Golden Lion said gently."

Seeing that the three patriarchs were gone, the patriarch panicked, and everyone in the Ji family panicked.

However, the golden lion did not give them a chance to beg for mercy.

With three lion's roars, not a single member of the Ji family survived.

Seeing the massive corpses of the Heavenly Phoenix lying all over the ground, Ling Shan's eyes lit up; she loved eating chicken the most.

After Abao helped Lingshan put all the corpses into storage bags, a group of people rushed into the Ji family's treasury.

Ling Yun then went to the patriarch's dojo. Yan Ruyu followed but did not participate in looting the treasure vault. She knew that she might be able to find out the reason why the phoenix was suppressed underground from the patriarch's dojo.

The two arrived at the head of the family's study. Ling Yun glanced around and his gaze settled on the wall behind the bookshelf.

There is a very secluded hidden space there.

Immediately, Ling Yun flicked his finger, shattering the spatial barrier, and the two entered the hidden space.

This space is tens of thousands of feet in diameter, and inside it is a seal, the very seal that suppresses the phoenix.

The reasons for suppressing the phoenix are inscribed on the four walls.

Thirty thousand years ago, in the Phoenix Immortal Realm of the Glazed Star Domain, several patriarchs of the Mingtian Divine Phoenix joined forces to ambush a newly grown phoenix, suppressing it on the Golden Cloud Continent and assigning several servants of their families to guard it there.

Although the Mingtian Divine Phoenix has the word "phoenix" in its name, it has nothing to do with the noble phoenix and has no status in the demon realm.

People often compare them to phoenixes to mock them.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan became mentally distorted, and they directly ambushed a newly grown phoenix and suppressed it in this place.

They humiliated the phoenix day and night, and their most frequent act was to pluck out all of the phoenix's divine feathers, only to pluck them again as they grew back.

There were also various forms of punishment, such as ice torture and whipping.

Some powerful figures from the Phoenix Clan of the Phoenix Immortal Realm often come here to torment the phoenixes for their own amusement.

They even carved images of abuse on the walls of the sealed land.

Seeing the densely packed images on the wall, Ling Yun and Yan Ruyu were both furious.

Yan Ruyu grasped Ling Yun's hand and cried as she said:

"Brother, please save Phoenix! I can hardly feel her life anymore, she might die."

Seeing Yan Ruyu's tear-streaked face, Ling Yun felt a pang of heartache for no apparent reason. He said softly:

"Okay, I'll rescue Phoenix right away."

Then, Ling Yun looked at the seal, which was a trapping immortal array, with a powerful trapping immortal talisman pasted in the center of the array.

Ling Yun drew a talisman in the air, then broke the energy of the Immortal-Trapping Talisman, and then shattered the core of the Immortal-Trapping Array.
