Their smugness was so deafening that Chu Hongluan could clearly hear their arrogant and boastful words even from a distance.
It was as if the world was already in their hands.
The Beast Taming Sect seemed to have already discovered the location of the Phoenix Nest, and headed straight for the highest peak in the area.
Just as we were about to reach the top of the mountain, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from below!
Chu Hongluan, with her high level of cultivation and excellent hearing, could faintly hear cheers coming from the foot of the mountain.
"My God! There's a spiritual vein here! We're rich!"
"Quick! Brothers! Blast the spiritual vein a bit more!"
Chu Hongluan took a deep breath, pinched her aching forehead, and could only sigh.
The stupidity of these people is truly...a wake-up call.
The commotion below finally alerted the phoenix and its mate in their nest.
"Damn it! Those guys are here again!"
A furious roar erupted.
“Alas.” The phoenix sighed and said, “Since they have repeatedly refused to change their ways, my husband should just kill them all…”
"Alright, madam, please wait for me."
As soon as the words were spoken, a crimson phoenix took flight, its wingtips and tail feathers trailing iridescent light in the air before swooping down towards those foolish people who were oblivious to their fate!
This was the first time Chu Hongluan had ever seen the legendary phoenix.
The ancient book "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "The phoenix is the image of a swan with a scaly back, a snake's neck and a fish's tail, a stork's voice and a mandarin duck's cheeks, dragon patterns and a tortoise's back, and a swallow's jaw and a chicken's beak."
Seeing what she saw today, I felt that even the most refined poems and verses were insufficient to describe the shock she felt at that moment.
The most exquisite praise often requires the simplest and most understated descriptions.
Just as Chu Hongluan was thinking at this moment:
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
My God! A phoenix! Alive!
Chu Hongluan shook her head, forcing herself to clear her mind, and carefully recalled the conversation between the Black Phoenix and the Phoenix.
Xuanfeng uttered the word "again".
The phoenix said, "He never learns from his mistakes."
This proves that the Beast Taming Sect had sent people here many times, each time pretending to be looking for treasure, gradually testing the Phoenix's limits of endurance. However, the Phoenix clan is not bloodthirsty, so in the past, they simply threw it out of their territory.
Today... Phoenix has finally reached its breaking point and is about to unleash a massacre.
After all, those people down there are simply courting death without any bottom line.
That's a spiritual vein!
This is the fundamental reason why the Phoenix Clan can maintain the separation of its territory from the wilderness and leave behind a pure land!
You guys are something else!
Good sustainable and renewable resources!
Your violent mining practices are outrageous!
If the spiritual vein is destroyed in a moment, the home where the phoenix has lived for tens of thousands of years will be gone just like that!
How could he, a member of the ancient Phoenix Clan, tolerate such rudeness?
If you try to tell whether it's real or not, you're doomed!
No sooner had Xuanfeng left than Chu Hongluan heard hurried footsteps behind her, and there was more than one person.
So with a snap of their fingers, they created an invisibility barrier and waited quietly for the person to pass by.
He is the team leader/captain of the other four teams.
The Beast Taming Sect team at the top was also waiting for them.
"We have successfully led those people to the four corners of the world. They are all quite powerful, with several still at the Nascent Soul stage. It will take some time for Xuanfeng to clean them up! That will be enough time for us to kill the Phoenix!"
"Good! Good! Well done!"
Wow, that's impressive, plotting openly outside someone else's territory.
They don't think the phoenix can't hear them, do they?
"How dare you! Who dares to spout such nonsense outside my cave!"
The members of the Beast Taming Sect were startled and exchanged a glance: "Go! Trapped her first! Don't let her call for help!"
So the cultivators rushed out at once! They threw out several array plates and simultaneously summoned demonic beasts and spirit beasts!
The phoenix hesitated for a moment because of the phoenix egg under its wings, and it was too late to rush out of the nest!
One trap after another descended! It was as if countless fine threads were binding her tightly, rendering her completely immobile!
No!
The phoenix cried out in panic, trying to call back her lover, but unfortunately, a soundproof array was set up outside the cave, and she could not move or even make a sound!
More than twenty contracted beasts rushed into the cave!
The phoenix flew into a rage, turned its head, and unleashed a torrent of Phoenix True Fire! It scared away a whole flock of birds!
But she was really too weak. Even the Phoenix True Fire, which the Phoenix Clan was so proud of, was now just a facade.
The herd of beasts, seeing that their fur was only slightly charred, immediately rallied and began to fight again!
As the herd of beasts drew ever closer, the phoenix had no choice but to struggle frantically!
The array plate closest to her began to tremble violently, and then shattered with a clang.
At the same time, a mutated demon rabbit rushed in front of the phoenix!
Although only one array plate shattered, the phoenix was no longer a helpless predator! With a flap of its massive wings, the demonic rabbit had no chance to dodge and was instantly reduced to minced meat!
Despite the oppressive effect of the trapping formation, every movement she made required her utmost effort. After all, she was a phoenix! A majestic ancient divine bird! Her unyielding spirit could not be trampled upon!
Chu Hongluan and her companion were on the outermost edge and could not see what was happening inside, but they recognized the array plate as being produced by a talisman shop under the Tianji Pavilion.
Ninety percent of a Beast Tamer's combat power comes from their contracted beasts. Their own bodies are fragile, so they usually buy pre-drawn talismans and pre-made array plates for self-defense.
"No more hesitation! Take action!"
Chu Hongluan's eyes narrowed, and she drew her sword directly! She aimed straight for the head of the Beast Taming Sect Master! Being a fellow Tribulation Transcending cultivator, he keenly sensed the lightning-fast killing intent approaching and quickly rolled away, narrowly avoiding the attack!
