Upon hearing this, the man in the black robe trembled uncontrollably.
Just who is this rooster in front of us?
Why did he feel as if he were in an unfathomable abyss?
He desperately tried to recall if any important figure whose true form was a rooster before that great calamity.
You've already become an immortal, wouldn't it be better to become human?
Why flaunt your true form?
"Chicken... Master," the man in black robes stammered.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qing immediately slapped the black-robed man's face with his wing, his comb turning black with anger: "Who are you calling a chicken? Who's the chicken?"
The man in black robes was immediately sent flying by the slap.
His teeth were falling out of his mouth with a crackling sound, and his jaw was knocked crooked.
"Huo Qing, be gentle." Huo Ling ran over with a worried look on her face, gently placing her wing on the black-robed man's forehead, and a stream of pure spiritual energy slowly flowed into him.
The man in black robes was not unconscious, but his face was in great pain.
After a long while, he shakily raised his hand and bowed to the Fire Spirit, saying, "Thank you... Senior."
The word "chicken" rolled around in his throat, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Huo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the man in black robes with excitement: "Then it's my turn."
The man in black robes was taken aback.
What's the meaning?
What do you mean by "it's its turn next"?
Before his mind could even process it, his body understood first.
Because he was sent flying by the fire spirit.
He soared high into the air, overlooking the entire courtyard.
Then it was suddenly whipped up from the air by a grapevine and slammed into the ground with a thud.
"Brother Teng, you're too strong!" Fire Spirit flapped its wings and ran very fast.
The man in black robes had already lost ninety percent of his life force, leaving him with only one-tenth, lying on the ground, watching the fire spirit rush towards him in terror.
Then, with practiced ease, she pressed her wings against his forehead, and pure spiritual energy surged in once more.
The man in black robes felt his injuries healing rapidly.
Instead of being happy, he became even more frightened, his lips trembling as he said, "Sir, I shouldn't have come to offend you. Please forgive me, I'll leave right now."
They went far, far away, and vowed never to set foot in the Southern Wilderness again for all eternity.
"Since we're already here, let's have some fun." Huo Qing sauntered over, giving Huo Ling a fawning smile: "Is it my turn?"
"What do you mean it's your turn? Sister Tao hasn't played yet." Huo Ling glared at Huo Qing, then flapped her wings and sent the black-robed man to the peach tree.
“I’ll extract a bit of his essence to study the critical point of this world carefully. We can help out then,” Yan Xi said, her branches swaying.
"My lords, spare me, spare my life!" The man in black robes was so frightened that he could barely speak.
How could I have been so blinded by greed? Wouldn't it have been better to just stay in Beishengzhou?
Although it will take a while to completely break the seal on his two elder brothers, he still cannot leave the cave for an extended period of time.
But isn't being alive wonderful?
Yan Xi's branch grew longer and suddenly pierced through the black-robed man's spiritual sea.
The man in the black robe was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.
Yan Xi's branches and leaves absorbed a small amount of the black-robed man's essence, and then slowly withdrew.
During the recovery process, wisps of green light rippled out like waves, instantly repairing the black-robed man's pierced spiritual sea.
Then, with a flick of the branch, the repaired black-robed figure was sent to the feet of the Fire Spirit.
"Where's Sister Xue?" Fire Spirit kicked the black-robed man's face with one paw as she asked, "Without Sister Xue, we can't have any fun."
"I guess she's addicted to reading Blue Star novels," Ling Yuan said, as a purple light swept across the courtyard like a wave. "I'll call her."
The next second, Li Xue appeared in mid-air, holding a novel in her hand, and asked without even looking at them, "What do you want?"
"Sister Xue, we have a guest!" Huo Ling said cheerfully.
The man in black robes looked extremely cautious, fearing that the fire spirit might be too excited and accidentally disfigure him.
Furthermore, are you sure he's a guest?
Is this how you treat guests?
Li Xue then looked away from the novel and at the black-robed man at Huo Ling's feet, immediately becoming interested.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Huo Ling then recounted in detail the incident of the man in black robes coming to cause trouble.
The man in the black robe felt his blood boil.
"How did you know that there were golden characters in the little snail's sea of consciousness?" Li Xue asked with a smile.
"Look at you all, so busy having fun. Only Sister Tao and Sister Xue know to take care of business first," Ling Yuan immediately reprimanded them righteously.
Huo Ling and Huo Qing pursed their lips, inwardly grumbling to themselves.
Who struck that rattan cane just now?
“If you don’t tell me, don’t blame me for using the Soul Searching Technique. I’m not very good at this technique, and people tend to forget a lot of things after it’s done,” Li Xue said slowly.
"Forget...forget what?" the man in black robes asked tremulously.
"Forget who you are, forget whether you are male or female, forget how to cultivate, forget how to eat and drink..." Li Xue explained in detail.
"He's just... stupid." The man in black swallowed hard and said.
"Your summary is spot on." Li Xue nodded, then asked with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"
"No, no need." The man in black robes hurriedly waved his hand, "I, I tracked here based on the restrictions I placed before, and I happened to see the little snail..."
"Hmm?" Li Xue's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of coldness.
They can call him Little Snail, but outsiders don't have that right!
"No, no, it was Lord Snail, Lord Snail," the man in black hurriedly said. "Then I was bewitched and blinded by greed, and offended you all."
“Be more detailed.” Li Xue sat on a peach tree branch, looking down at the man in black robes: “Including your background and what kind of restrictions you have placed, explain everything clearly.”
"Yes, yes, yes." The man in black robes dared not hide anything and recounted in detail how he cultivated, how he was sealed, how he escaped the calamity, and how he woke up.
“No wonder this world is so fragile.” Li Xue nodded.
"Why did you place a restriction on that black-striped giant python? And why did you allow the centipede to enter the mortal town?" Yan Xi asked.
"This..." The man in black pursed his lips, not daring to speak.
“I think we should use the Soul Searching Technique,” Li Xue said, her fingertips flashing with white light.
The man in black robes was so frightened that he immediately spilled the beans: "In order to become stronger and to help my two brothers break the seal, I need to consume high-level blood food."
"Then why don't you just swallow them directly? Why let them harm mortals?" Yan Xi asked.
"Because, because before we were sealed, we obtained an ancient book from a secret realm. Although mortals cannot cultivate it, the spiritual power contained in their flesh and blood is extremely strong. Eating it can help with cultivation, and there is also an auxiliary method." The man in black robes stammered, "But it is of no use to those who become immortals."
"So, you let them harm mortals to quickly increase your cultivation, and then you devour them to become stronger?" Yan Xi asked.
"Yes, that's how it is." The man in black robes nodded, his face pale.
