Holy crap, this ugly man's goal was to lure her here! I almost lost my life!
Damn it, let him taste the power of Little Phoenix!
Qi Feng was surprised that this unknown bird could dodge his killing move. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Could it be that this bird was raised by Feng Yu?
Just as Qi Feng was stunned, a flash of fire came towards him. Qi Feng was shocked and dodged it with a quick sidestep. This bird can actually breathe fire! Interesting! A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Feng's eyes, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
Just then, the flames he had dodged seemed to possess a spirit, turning around and attacking Qi Feng again.
Flames burned his outer robe. Upon seeing this, the others hurriedly used water magic to try to extinguish the fire. However, this phoenix divine fire could not be extinguished by ordinary water.
Qi Feng's body was soaked by water, but the fire was still burning, so he had to take off his outer robe, which instantly turned to ashes.
"Brother, this bird is so intelligent!"
At this moment, Qi Feng's clothes were tattered and his body was wet, making him look extremely disheveled, with a gloomy face.
Meanwhile, Little Phoenix was standing on a tree branch, laughing heartily. But to Qi Feng and the others, all they heard was the bird's joyful chirping, as if it were mocking them.
"You're just a stinky bird. Once I catch you, I'll roast you and eat you!" Qi Feng said viciously. If people knew that he, the young master of the Hell Gate, had been tricked by a bird and couldn't even bring it to justice, he would lose all face.
"Go, let's work together to catch that bird."
The group launched another fierce attack on Little Phoenix, but Little Phoenix moved through the forest like lightning, and the group still couldn't hurt it in the slightest. Not only that, they also had to keep dodging the fire that Little Phoenix spewed out.
Soon, cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, their clothes were tattered and torn, and they looked extremely disheveled.
Qi Feng's face was bulging with veins. If looks could kill, Xiao Huang'er would probably have been killed a thousand times over by now, but reality is cruel.
"I refuse to believe I can't kill you, you bird!"
After saying that, his eyes turned bloodshot, his face contorted, and he let out a hissing shout. The spiritual energy within his body surged wildly, unleashing astonishing power that seemed to destroy everything around him.
Qi Feng never expected to be forced to reveal his trump card by a bird. An invisible force attacked from all directions, surrounding Little Phoenix. Its speed was like lightning.
Little Phoenix just scoffed lightly. "Hmph, trying to show off your skills in front of Guan Yu? These petty tricks are too embarrassing to show off in front of me, Little Phoenix."
However, just as Xiao Huang'er was preparing to counterattack, a silvery-white light struck her. Feeling dizzy, Xiao Huang'er moved away. The spot where she had been standing instantly erupted with a violent explosion, and the surrounding trees were blown to pieces.
Qi Feng's eyes widened as he turned around. He saw that Feng Yu had somehow woken up and was still holding the divine artifact Thousand Threads Scroll in his hand. The silvery-white light he had just seen was emitted by the Thousand Threads Scroll.
Little Phoenix was momentarily dazed, then stopped on Feng Yu's shoulder.
"Little one, you're alright now."
Xiao Huang'er cursed inwardly: "What a big dummy! She could have easily countered, but that Thousand Silk Scroll ruined her plans, and her head is still spinning."
"you!"
"Feng Yu, hand over that stinky bird!"
Feng Yu looked at Qi Feng and the others, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Qi Feng, the Heavenly Ladder Tournament hasn't even started yet, and you already have so little confidence in yourself? You actually want to use these underhanded methods."
Although he was recovering on his own, he knew everything that happened outside, including what Qi Feng and his disciples had said.
"Hmph, enough nonsense."
"Do you think the few of you can beat me right now?" Feng Yu looked at the group with a half-smile.
Qi Feng then realized how disheveled they were, and how much spiritual energy they had consumed in the battle with the bird, especially Qi Feng's final attack.
His face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it, and his fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves. He uttered a harsh remark with resentment in his heart.
"Feng Yu, you'd better win the Heavenly Ladder Tournament, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, just based on what you did today, I will beat you no matter what."
Qi Feng snorted coldly, his sinister gaze falling on Xiao Huang'er, before turning and leaving.
After Qi Feng walked away, Feng Yu touched Xiao Huang'er and asked, "You little rascal, weren't you in the Wind and Cloud Secret Realm? How did you get out?"
[Idiot, who told you I'm from the secret realm? I'm my mother's own daughter.]
But all Feng Yu heard was the little phoenix making squeaking noises. Seeing her haughty appearance, Feng Yu chuckled. He already knew that she could understand their language when they were in the secret realm.
Thinking of that figure, Feng Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "Little guy, did you come out with Lan Xi? Is she nearby now?"
After Feng Yu's reminder, Xiao Huang'er sensed it and nodded.
Feng Yu smiled broadly, "You should stay with me until she arrives! I'm afraid you might be in danger."
You're the one in danger!
Little Phoenix landed on the ground, releasing the spirit beast core and the pill she had just snatched. She nudged them, and Feng Yu squatted down upon seeing this: "You mean these are for me?"
Little Phoenix gave him a haughty look, then flew into the woods.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Feng Yu picked up the pills and beast cores from the ground and chased after them.
Ji Jiuying arrived at the outer edge of Xianfeng Mountain. Looking around, she saw a vast forest behind which stretched a continuous range of mountain peaks, surrounded by white mist, making it look like a fairyland from afar.
Ji Jiuying strode into the forest. The spirit beasts she encountered along the way were all of relatively low level and gentle. They would not attack humans without reason, and some of the bolder ones would even curiously approach humans.
The dense trees blocked out the blazing sun. After walking for about half an hour, they hadn't seen a single high-level spirit beast. They probably wouldn't find one until they reached the depths of the mountains.
Suddenly, Ji Jiuying heard the sound of fighting coming from not far away. Curious, she walked closer to see what was happening and found several disciples from the academy fighting with an eighth-level golden griffin.
Just as the golden griffin was about to be injured, one of the girls drew a mark in the air, infused it with soul power, and struck the golden griffin on the head.
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow; these people must be from the Beast Taming Sect.
He turned and continued walking deeper into the forest.
"Mother!"
Before the person was seen—no, before the bird was seen, its voice arrived first.
Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly, and a red light pierced through the forest, landing in Ji Jiuying's arms. It nuzzled her affectionately, saying, "Mother, you've finally come."
"Little Phoenix, have you gotten into trouble?"
"No, no, I just saved my mother's cousin!"
