Boom! The aura of a peak Spirit Emperor exploded out. This old man was also a Beast Soul Master, and a Heaven-rank Beast Soul at that.

"Ha, dream on! With your trashy qualifications, you are not worthy of my acknowledgment as my master." The Vermilion Bird arrogantly flapped its wings, its discomfort stemming from the brat hiding among its feathers.

"You won't accept a polite toast but will have to drink a forfeit!"

"If a beast can't be tamed, it's better to just kill it! Then everyone can divide it up!"

Several forces, including some powerful families, are eyeing the Vermilion Bird covetously.

Before they could even make a move against Suzaku, internal strife broke out.

Suzaku sneered, "See? You humans are so cunning and treacherous."

"Yeah, but you really stink. Haven't you taken a bath in hundreds of years?" Liu Yue found a place to sit down. She took out some cotton from her spatial storage and stuffed it into her nose to block out some of the stench. It's just a pity... she doesn't have the cultivation she had in her previous life. If she did, she could block out her sense of smell. This is just too awful.

"You brat!" I should have known better than to grab this little brat. I just wanted to grab her and throw her off the mountain.

They smashed her to pieces, but who would have thought that this brat was like a stubborn leech?

The Vermilion Bird was controlled by the formation, and the elders of the various forces were locked in a fierce battle.

At this moment, a figure in moon-white descended from the sky, causing several elders to retreat.

Nangong Ze's gaze fell on Zhuque.

"Young Master."

The eldest elder of the Nangong family kicked the eldest elder of the Murong family in the chest, sending him flying. "You dog, you dare to compete with my young master? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"

“Aze”.

At this moment, the spirit beast carriage slowly approached. Feng Wan lifted the curtain and saw Nangong Ze standing in front of the formation, her expression brightening with joy.

She knew... that Aze would give her the Vermilion Bird.

"Your Highness." Nangong Ze nodded slightly.

“We’re already so familiar with each other, there’s no need to be so polite,” Feng Wan said with a smile. “It just so happens that I came here for the Vermilion Bird, but I didn’t expect that you, Aze, had already captured it. That’s wonderful.”

Feng Wan's intentions were obvious. She was the princess of the Azure Dragon. If she wanted it, Nangong Ze should immediately beg her to accept it, holding the Vermilion Bird in his hands.

However, Nangong Ze's reaction was completely different from Feng Wan's: "This beast is dangerous and not suitable for Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wan's expression changed slightly, not expecting Nangong Ze to reject her so directly.

boom--!

Suzaku unleashed a powerful killing intent, "Is this how you decide my life or death? I haven't even given the word yet!"

The power of the formation enveloped the Vermilion Bird, but under the Vermilion Bird's powerful beastly breath, the formation barrier gradually shattered.

Hidden among the Vermilion Bird's tail feathers, Liu Yue suddenly grabbed the Vermilion Bird's feathers and snapped! A handful of feathers were ripped off!

Suzaku, caught in the fierce battle, trembled: ?!

My hair!!!

"Sorry." Liu Yue withdrew her hand, then smacked off another handful.

puff--!

The incredibly foul stench exploded like a bomb, and Jun Liuyue was the first to be affected.

*Crack!* At the same time, the dagger pierced through Zhuque's flesh, causing Zhuque to howl in pain.

"What happened?" Nangong Ze frowned as his spirit sword was knocked away.

Because of a sore bottom, Zhuque ignored Nangong Ze and took a blow. The raging pressure was released, and the stench was overwhelming!

Jun Liuyue almost threw up her dinner from the night before; she was blasted by a fart!

"Go!" Nangong Ze gave the order, and the formation condensed above the Vermilion Bird, enveloping it and leaving it nowhere to hide.

Roar! The furious roar of the beast shook the heavens and rushed towards the crowd.

Several elders of Nangong were blasted away by the beast's pressure, but the formation firmly locked onto the Vermilion Bird.

"Heh." Zhuque snorted coldly, the barrier around her body shattered little by little, and her long tail feathers swept over everyone, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.

It really is a divine beast! If it weren't a divine beast, being surrounded like this... it would probably be dead by now!

When the elders of Nangong looked up, the Vermilion Bird had already flown to the horizon, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.

"Chase!"

The group chased after the Vermilion Bird, attempting to intercept it, but a huge black hole suddenly appeared in mid-air, reversing time and space and sucking everyone in.

Bang! Liu Yue was thrown out, her body flipping over. Luckily, she reacted quickly enough to avoid falling face-first into the mud.

What place is this?

Liu Yue raised her head, and all around her was emptiness.

"Master, hehehe, this is Suzaku's spiritual world!"

This is all too familiar to the Nightmare Beast! Isn't this its forte?

"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to drag you in and then strangle you."

The Nightmare Beast analyzed, "The Vermilion Bird's current condition must be very bad."

It has already reached the point of using its spiritual realm; it must be extremely weak by now.

"brush!--!"

A long sword flew towards her, and Liu Yue stepped back, the sword almost grazing her clothes.

Who are you?

Nangong Ze flew over and subtly sized up Jun Liuyue. He hadn't seen this woman before.

"I am your father."

Jun Liuyue looked down at her torn clothes.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes; this garment was worth a thousand spirit stones.

"You!" Nangong Ze clearly didn't expect Jun Liuyue to answer like that.

"Three thousand spirit stones, pay for my clothes."

Liuyue reached out her hand.

He spoke coldly.

Nangong Ze: ?

"No compensation?"

Before Nangong Ze could speak, Liu Yue raised her hand and a spirit sword appeared in her hand. With a whoosh, Nangong Ze only heard the whistling sound of the wind beside his ear.

"Then Father will have to ask for it himself."

Nangong Ze seemed to be still in a daze, and was startled when he saw the spirit blade closing in on him.

Bang! Nangong Ze awkwardly used his spiritual power to block Liu Yue's attack.

But this person's cultivation level was clearly no lower than his, and perhaps even higher!

How could that be!

This woman looks to be no more than twenty years old!

A flicker of fear crossed Nangong Ze's eyes; this was the first time in over twenty years that he had felt this emotion.

And he was facing a little girl! Bang! The howling wind was like a sharp knife, and his arm was shattered with tiny cracks.

A few breaths later, Nangong Ze flew out.

"Tsk, cunning and treacherous little brat, not bad." The voice of the Vermilion Bird rang out in the void. Although it was trying hard, it was still barely audible.

"Clang!" Liu Yue's long sword slammed into the ground. "With your weak spiritual power, you think you can trap your grandma in this wretched place?"
