The same applies to the other disciples. No one dares to say that they want to eat the Compassionate Breath Fruit. Even if someone really covets the fruit's miraculous effects, they wouldn't dare to say it in front of their teachers, otherwise they would immediately be considered to have ulterior motives.

Besides, it was Shi Xuan who discovered this place and opened the door, so it's reasonable for her spirit pet to eat these fruits. As long as she's not worried about her spirit pet getting sick from eating them.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Shi Xuan released Hong Mao from Yin Shuang.

Red Hair was in its true form at this moment, and when it appeared, it was like a small mountain, almost reaching the top of this hemisphere.

The cultivators from the five sects were greatly surprised. Although Shi Xuan had already shown his red hair during the Six Sects Grand Competition, the red hair at that time was a smaller version, unlike the tall and strong one now.

After their initial surprise, they all looked at Shi Xuan, realizing that the Taotie could grow to such a large size!

Qi Xinjue, the usually most silent sect leader of the Yuxing Sect, began to express his regret.

He had said before during the Six Sects Grand Competition that Shi Xuan was the most suitable child to come to the Yuxing Sect, he was a born beast tamer!

For example, right now, when I see something good, the first thing I think of is feeding it to my spirit pet. This kind of awareness is not something that ordinary people can have. Isn't that what it means to be born to raise spirit pets?

It's a pity that such a promising talent was wasted, and those impetuous fellows from the Lianfeng Sword Sect picked him up. What a waste!

Thinking this, he looked at Shi Mingxiu.

Looking at Qi Xinjue's resentful eyes, Shi Mingxiu knew what he was thinking. He must be envious of their young disciple again.

But as much as they envied him, there were plenty of others who coveted Shi Xuan. Every time Quan Xing and Feng Hanmo encountered him, those two old guys looked like they wanted to snatch him away. Let them just watch, even if they can't have him, it's fine too.

Thinking of this, Shi Mingxiu winked at Qi Xinjue, as if to say, "Not bad, isn't this disciple? It's a pity he's not from your Yuxing Sect."

Qi Xinjue snorted coldly, turned his back, and ignored him. That old fellow Shi Mingxiu is getting more and more arrogant every day.

Beside the Cixi Tree, Shi Xuan gestured with his chin towards the direction of the tree and asked the red-haired man, "Want some or not?"

She wasn't asking a question, because she knew that the red-haired guy wouldn't let such a good thing go to waste.

Sure enough, as soon as Red Hair saw Shi Xuan inviting him out to eat, he pounced on him with a roar, opened his blood-red maw, and swallowed half of the tree crown in one gulp.

The cultivators from the five sects who were watching were dumbfounded. They had thought that Shi Xuan had summoned his spirit pet to eat the Cixi Fruit growing on that tree, but who knew that the Taotie would come up and gnaw on the tree right away.

It truly lives up to its name as a glutton; it has such a good appetite that everything tastes delicious.

Red Hair had no interest in what others thought. This giant brown tree was exactly to its liking. Putting aside the taste, the spiritual energy it contained was incredibly abundant. Red Hair ate with great enjoyment.

While it was eating, Shi Mingxiu led everyone to take another careful look around, and only stopped when they were sure that there was nothing else in this space except for the Cixi Tree.

He looked at Shi Xuan and said, "This tree, after being eaten, will stop growing?"

"Clean it up in a bit, and it won't grow back."

Before long, Red Hair had devoured the entire Cixi Tree, leaving no root untouched.

At this moment, a large pit appeared where the Cixi Tree was originally planted. Most of the tree roots that could be pulled out were eaten by the red-haired man.

Perhaps the spiritual power contained in this enormous tree of compassion was too great, because after eating it, Red Hair disappeared from the spot and returned to Silver Frost, where he plunged into the courtyard and fell asleep on the spot.

Shi Xuan twitched his lips. This guy's been sleeping for a long time now.

However, this is probably a good thing for the spirit pet, as it means it will advance in rank after waking up.

After Hongmao fell, Shixuan summoned Jin Dada again and had it spew a wave of solar fire at the crater.

To cut grass, you must remove the roots; once the tree is uprooted, not a single tendril should be left.

Jin Dada received the order and breathed fire into the bottom of the pit. The roots that had broken off in the soil caught the sun's fire and burst into flames, quickly burning deeper and burning all the connected roots to ashes.

This made Qi Xinjue even more heartbroken.

At this moment, Xuan revealed that she not only possessed the Taotie, but also a three-legged golden crow!

What is it about her that makes her so irresistibly attractive to spirit beasts? Why do these rare and powerful beasts in the cultivation world seem like ordinary spirit beasts to her, one after another?

Their Yuxing Sect, a sect that specializes in training beast tamers, has never had such disciples in hundreds of years. Not only do they have divine beasts, but they also took in two at once!

Qi Xinjue's gaze toward Shi Mingxiu was extremely hostile. If his disciple could seize the prize through a duel, he would probably have already made his move!

He desperately wanted a disciple like this! Why hadn't the most talented beast tamer in the last hundred years come from their Beast Taming Sect? This is unfair!

Guan Shixuan was completely unaware of the sect leaders' expressions. She looked at Jin Dada with satisfaction, who had been eradicated, and happily fed him two high-level spiritual plants.

Jin Dada exchanged two fires for two high-level spiritual plants and returned to Yinshuang in great joy.

With the matter resolved here, the group returned the way they came to the large square and chose one of the eight roads to begin their search.

Unfortunately, the entire underground palace felt deserted. It seemed that everything that could fit into the storage space had been packed up and taken away, leaving only useless or unusable items, such as the enormous Compassion Tree.

The group spent more than two hours searching the underground palace, but in the end, those people still managed to escape.

The cultivators who had been fighting them in the underground palace seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the underground palace had three exits, located in different directions, and the exits were extremely well hidden and difficult to detect.

"We've alerted them after all," Shi Mingxiu sighed regretfully. "But so far, I still haven't figured out how to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

“There are so many people,” Shi Xuan comforted, “It’s not easy to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. There are so many high-level cultivators. If they don’t want to fight to the death, we won’t be able to stop them. But fortunately, we didn’t leave empty-handed this time. That Compassionate Breath Tree must have been extremely important to them, and now we have destroyed it all.”

“That’s true,” Shi Mingxiu’s expression softened slightly. “To prevent them from making a comeback, this underground palace cannot be left untouched.”

"The sect leader is right, then let's blow them all up before we leave."
