"Sheng Ning, do you even know what you just sent in?!"
“That’s Xuanming, the new lord of the Demon Clan! Although I’ve been in Tianling Mountain for a long time, I still recognize his face.”
"Where did you catch him? Ahhhh, you're amazing! You even managed to catch the Demon Lord! When the pillars of heaven collapse in the future, you'll definitely be able to save Cang..."
He hadn't even finished saying the word "common people" when he spoke.
Bai Ze's round cat eyes fell on the group of Taixu Sect disciples kneeling before him.
"What's going on here? A big meeting?"
Before Sheng Ning could answer, Bai Ze heard a hoarse voice filled with disbelief.
"The mythical beast Bai Ze?"
"Why are you calling me 'Dad'?!"
Bai Ze turned to look at Rong Zhuo, and when he saw Rong Zhuo's old, undead, oh no, familiar face...
Like Xuanwu, even though he had the face of a kitten, the look of disgust on his face was still clearly visible.
Bai Ze clicked his tongue and turned to look at Sheng Ning. "Why did you come to see this hypocrite?"
Sheng Ning exclaimed, "Ah," and said, "I came to investigate something, and now there are results. I was just showing off in front of him."
Bai Ze didn't understand what 'showing off' meant, but seeing the smile in her eyes and the fact that she was completely unharmed, he nodded.
The continent is lacking in spiritual energy, and spiritual beasts have been rare for thousands of years.
Spirit pets are something that only the most outstanding disciples of a large family can possess.
Rong Zhuo was listening to Sheng Ning say that the divine beast Azure Dragon had signed a contract with her on the day it hatched.
He originally thought that Sheng Ning was just lucky. He happened to pick up a blue dragon egg while traveling and training, and then happened to witness it hatching and breaking out of its shell.
However, what he saw before him was completely unexpected.
The mythical beasts Xuanwu and Bai Ze.
If there was only one divine beast, the Azure Dragon, then she would be considered lucky.
But it also possesses three mythical beasts...
Two of them had a history of conflict with him.
Rong Zhuo's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
Sheng Ning took in his eye-rolling gesture as if he was about to faint.
She gently squeezed the fluffy white Ze in her hand and asked, "Lord Bai Ze, do you also know this Sect Master Rong?"
Bai Ze snorted lightly upon hearing this, "It's more than just knowing each other."
'If he hadn't colluded with evil cultivators and caused the ancient war, the entire lower realm wouldn't be in this state today.'
The little white ball of fur poked its head out from Sheng Ning's arms. It yawned, saw the divine beast on Sheng Ning's body, and exclaimed "Yo!"
'I didn't expect Sheng Ning to have so many companions.'
Sheng Ning: ...What kind of jealousy is this now?
"If it weren't for Rong Zhuo back then, the ancient war wouldn't have started." Bai Ze's words were exactly the same as what the little white dumpling said.
"Back then, he colluded with evil cultivators, working together from the inside to catch the human cultivators off guard. If it weren't for the Creator God, the entire human race would have disappeared from the lower realm."
Xuanwu took over Bai Ze's words.
Even though he had lived for millions of years, the ancient war was still deeply imprinted in Xuanwu's mind.
Xuanwu looked at Rong Zhuo, whose face was ashen, with disdain. If Xuanwu hadn't been reluctant to use the divine power he had painstakingly accumulated, he would have definitely attacked Rong Zhuo right now.
Just now, Sheng Ning's act of letting the pig-worm reveal its true form startled the entire Taixu Sect, causing them to mobilize.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the elders and disciples of the Taixu Sect who were not in seclusion arrived at the main peak.
Everyone heard Bai Ze and Xuanwu's words, and they all looked at Rong Zhuo in disbelief.
Elder Qian had not seen Sheng Ning for a long time.
Last time at the sect competition, the appearance of Sheng Ning caused the Taixu Sect to lose face.
Holding onto the attitude that the newcomer had gotten lucky, he still looked down on Sheng Ning.
What he didn't expect was that in just half a year, Sheng Ning not only went from the Foundation Establishment stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
She was accompanied by three divine beasts, who were very affectionate towards her, clearly indicating that they had formed a bond.
A chill ran down his spine. Elder Qian suppressed his panic, but upon hearing Bai Ze and Xuanwu's words, he immediately became enraged.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
"The Sect Master of the Taixu Sect, Rong Zhuo, often travels far and wide to save the world's people. How could he possibly collude with evil cultivators?!"
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! Guards, throw this madman Sheng Ning out!"
Just as Elder Qian was yelling for someone to throw Sheng Ning out, none of the Taixu Sect disciples kneeling around him dared to make a move.
Some of them may never even see a single mythical beast in their entire lives.
Now that Sheng Ning has just unleashed three divine beasts, they can clearly distinguish which is more important.
Elder Qian was so angry at their cowardly appearance that he kept breathing heavily.
Just as he was about to take action himself, Sheng Ning spoke up.
"Elder Qian said that Bai Ze and Senior Xuanwu were talking nonsense?"
"Alright, then I'll ask the person in question to speak, lest Elder Qian remain unconvinced and arrogant, always thinking that his own understanding is correct."
Elder Qian scoffed upon hearing this, "The person involved? Sheng Ning, you wouldn't be referring to the Evil Emperor Ye Si, would you?"
“Sometimes even boasting requires some planning. The Evil Emperor Ye Si has already transcended tribulation and ascended to immortality. If you can invite him here, then I…”
"If I can bring Ye Si here, Elder Qian will kneel and circle the entire Taixu Sect three times."
"How about you kowtow while saying 'I, Qian Qinglai, am a dog'?"
Before becoming a Taoist priest, Elder Qian's original name was Qian Qinglai.
Elder Qian's expression faltered for a moment as he realized he hadn't heard anyone call him by his real name in a long time.
The next instant, his features contorted in a ferocious expression. "Sheng Ning, you!"
On second thought, Ye Si had already ascended to immortality, so even if Sheng Ning had a divine beast, he certainly couldn't invite Ye Si, who had already become an immortal.
Thinking this, Elder Qian's expression softened slightly. Just as he nodded in agreement, Xi Zhen, who had been kneeling behind him, suddenly spoke up.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Elder Qian, you absolutely mustn't!"
Unfortunately, Xi Zhen spoke too late; Elder Qian had already finished speaking before he stepped in to stop him.
A look of defeat crossed Xi Zhen's face as he turned and glared fiercely at Sheng Ning.
After noticing his gaze, the latter grinned at him.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. If Elder Qian tries to renege on his debt, my son will not let you off the hook."
As Sheng Ning finished speaking, the little pig that had been obediently lying on her arm suddenly turned its head and bared its teeth fiercely at Elder Qian.
Elder Qian: "...Enough with the nonsense, I don't believe you can invite Ye Si, who has already ascended to immortality!"
Sheng Ning enjoys making bets with arrogant fools.
Faced with the stubborn Elder Qian, a ghostly blue fireball suddenly appeared in her hand.
As soon as the Nine Netherworld Fire appeared, the natal fire within the bodies of all the disciples with fire-type spiritual roots present trembled, wishing they could shrink into a corner and dare not show their faces.
