Although the Sunshot Arrow has a tracking effect, Zaun is right next to him now. If Zaun is shot to death, he will probably die as well.

Left with no other choice, they hastily activated the Golden Crow Chariot's defenses, and a semi-transparent protective shield resembling gold rose up around the entire chariot.

At that moment, the sun-shooting arrow had already shot over with terrifying force.

There was no loud noise as expected; instead, everything was completely silent.

There was no sound at all, as if everything had vanished.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding burst of light erupted, turning the entire sky as if it had turned gold.

Everyone hurriedly covered their eyes, and those who were slower screamed in agony, as if their eyes were being burned.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow fell rapidly from mid-air and landed on a mountaintop.

With a loud bang, half of the entire mountain was shaved off.

"That's a golden chariot!" a sharp-eyed cultivator exclaimed.

However, the golden chariot is now dull and lifeless, and the Golden Crow Prince inside is as limp as a noodle in Zuan's hands, no longer possessing its former arrogance and domineering nature.

Looking at the golden chariot beside him, he thought to himself, "This is a good thing. With this, wouldn't it be like having a private jet?"

We'll be back in human society in no time.

So they tried to put it in with a glass bead, but found that it wouldn't budge.

Could it be that the artifact has recognized its master?

Zuan glanced at the Golden Crow Prince in his hand, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. This birdman had tried to kill him several times just now, so this was the perfect opportunity to finish him off.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to make a move, a terrifying aura swept over him, startling him so much that he quickly dodged to the side.

Looking closer, one could see that the Golden Crow Prince was already in the hands of an old man.

"Grandmaster?" Zu An's heart sank as he sensed the other party's aura.

"Young man, show mercy when you can." The old man looked at Zu An calmly, clearly having seen through his intention to kill him.

Zuan sneered, "Where were you when this bastard tried to kill me with his divine weapon? Now that he's lost, you're running out to take his side. How disgusting!"

The old man's expression turned cold: "Young man, being too arrogant often leads to a bad end. You're not getting anything out of offending me now."

"So what if he's a Grandmaster? It's not like I haven't fought him before. If you want to fight, then stop talking nonsense." Although Zu An was covered in injuries, his confidence and fighting spirit had reached their peak after the battle just now. He was now acting like he was invincible.

Of course, he wasn't blinded by rage. He had a key, a deadly dagger, and many other life-saving skills. If he really fought the opponent, he wouldn't be without a fighting chance.

The old man glanced at him in surprise: "Not bad, you have the heart of a strong person, and your future achievements are limitless."

At this moment, Prince Jinwu caught his breath and hurriedly said, "Elder, quickly kill this arrogant brat!"

Zu An felt a chill run down his spine and became secretly on guard.

At this moment, Yu Yanluo and the others also realized what was happening: "They were just having a fair duel, and they should bear the consequences themselves. There's no reason for the older generation to interfere!"

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were also prepared. If the old man really disregarded his status and attacked Zu'an, they would help him even if they were injured.

The old man glanced at Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen with a strange look. These two women looked frail, but he felt that they were unfathomable.

He collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Queen Medusa, there is no need to worry. The demon race values ​​the strong and respects the strong. I would not interfere in a fight between juniors."

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Jinwu immediately became anxious: "Elder, this person has offended me and shown contempt for our demon royal family. If we let him go, he will surely become a major threat to us in the future!"

Unfortunately, the other party's identity is special, and I cannot command him as the crown prince.

The old man shook his head: "He has the bloodline of the ancient phoenix and is a friend, not an enemy, of our demon race. There is no need to worry too much."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked. The legendary phoenix bloodline?

Even Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue looked at him strangely. So this kid is half a demon after all?

Zuan naturally knew that the old man had misunderstood. He had unleashed flames with the aura of a phoenix because he had cultivated the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," not because of the power of his bloodline.

Before the Golden Crow Prince could say anything more, the old man interrupted him, saying, "The Demon Emperor sent you out this time to temper your character. You've had it too easy these past few years; a little setback is good. Remember this humiliation, use it as motivation, and take revenge yourself in the future. That's what makes a true strongman. If you think about relying on the power of others, you'll never reach the level of the Demon Emperors of the past, and you'll never become a qualified Demon Emperor."

Prince Jinwu was startled and said in a deep voice, "The elder is right."

Although he was arrogant, he was indeed a strong person in the path of cultivation. Now that he had been awakened, he had a sudden realization.

The old man nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zuan and said, "Young friend, you should also come to the Royal Court Assembly with Queen Medusa this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light appeared in front of Zu An.

Zuan reached out and found it was a golden token with a sun engraved on it and a golden raven in the center.

"This is the Golden Crow Token. With this token, one can pass through all the checkpoints of the demon race without hindrance, and it is also a qualification to enter the royal court," the old man reminded him.

"Thank you." Since the other party's attitude was good, Zu An didn't need to be cold to them.

"Until we meet again." The old man nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, the golden chariot and the golden-armored warriors were all taken into his sleeve. Of course, considering the identity of the Golden Crow Prince, he did not take him in as well. Instead, he grabbed the prince's shoulder and flew away into the distance.
