When the people of Lotus Sect and Black Tortoise Sect heard Feng Yun’s words, all of them looked at him with hostility, especially the Black Tortoise Sect’s people. They were the ones who were going to take the vermilion bird, the lotus sect was only here to assist.
Zi Ling looked at Feng Yun and asked curiously, “Feng Yun, do you want to catch this vermilion bird as well?”
“No, you are misunderstanding. I didn’t come here to catch it.” Feng Yun shook his head and said.
“Then why?”
“This vermilion bird is an acquaintance of my close friend. I am helping this vermilion bird for shake of my friend. I can’t let it catch by human in front of my eyes. Please do me this small favor this time.” Feng Yun said in sincere tone.
Feng Yun obviously didn’t want to make things difficult for Zi Ling. But there was no other option. He can’t let the Vermilion Bird to be captured by Xuan Shuai.
For now, he placed all of his hopes on Zi Ling. If Zi Ling refuse him it will became very troublesome as he has no desire to fight Zi Ling over the vermilion bird.
Zi Ling looked at the vermilion bird and Xuan Shuai, hesitated for a moment and said, “Okay!”
“Young miss, you can’t do this, it was an order of old sect master. Moreover, we can’t afford to offend the black tortoise sect.” At this an elder of the Lotus Sect immediately spoke out in a somewhat nervous tone.
Zi Ling couldn’t but paused as she looked at the people of black tortoise sect with slightly tensed expression.
Zi Ling took a deep breath and said to Xuan Shuai, “Shuai, Feng Yun is a good friend. Please do me a favor and release the vermilion bird. The lotus sect is billing to compensate.”
“Zi Ling, what are you saying? I have put so much effort and resources to catch this vermilion bird. And you are asking me to give up on that. Have you forgotten the mission given by your master?”
“And who are you? I haven’t settled my score with you for interfering in my task. Yet, you are asking the vermilion bird, are you making fun of us?” Xuan Shuai looked at Feng Yun and said coldly.
Feng Yun’s brows creased slightly as he looked at the Xuan Shuai, he already expected that he arrogant boy won’t give easily. Even Feng Yun won’t give up easily he was in his place. The black tortuise sect spend rather hefty price to catch this vermilion bird, they would never let it go. It was precious.
“I am willing to compensate in exchange for this vermilion bird.” Feng Yun didn’t act rashly, he thought it would be better if this matters solved without bloodshed.
“Haha… Meng Ran, do you think the same as him?” Xuan Shuai laughed wildly and asked Zi Ling. Then his voice turned deep as he spoke again while staring at Feng Yun with cold eyes, “What do you think you can give me that worth equal to a divine beast? I don’t want your fucking compensation.”
Who was he! He was young master of Black Tortoise Sect, all kinds of treasures piled up in his inventory. He was clearly looking down on Feng Yun.
“Feng Yun!” Zi Ling called out anxiously.’ Feng Yun, there are many people here, the black tortoise sect is the second strongest sect of the phoenix empire. I think it would be better if you don’t involve in this.
‘Don’t worry about them? I can handle them, you just need to control your people. Leave the rest to me. I have come prepared.’ Feng Yun replied by transmission. Feng Yun was cautious person, he doesn’t do things without certainty of win.
“Are you sure?” Zi Ling couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Yes!” Feng Yun replied firmly.
Zi Ling thought for a moment and finally decided to trust him, after that she spoke loudly, “The Lotus Sect won’t interfere with the vermilion bird anymore. We are retreating.”
“Miss, its can’t..” the people of the Lotus Sect tried to protest, but they silenced by Zi Ling. Zi Ling’s status was highest in the team of lotus sect that present here.
“Don’t worry, I will talk to master myself.” Following that, she formed a series of hand seals and kept the Water God Tower back.
The Vermilion Bird broke free. With a roar, it flew up once again.
This time, the surrounding cultivators became vigilant once again. At the same time, they completely sealed off its path. But The vermilion Bird didn’t try to run rather it arrived closer to Long Shu and standing up by her side.
“Zi Ling, you… How can you let it go? It’s mine!” Xuan Shuai said in a deep voice.
“Sorry, but the lotus sect withdrawing.” Zi Ling said in flat tone.
“Zi Ling, are you sure about this? Are you really going to offend the Black Tortoise Sect for him.” Xuan Shuai tone became savage as he said.
“Have you done bull siting fuck off until you can? ” Feng Yun said as he stared at Xuan Shuai.
Xuan Shuai’s anger finally exploded, he roared at Feng Yun furiously, “Bastard, I was holding back for Zi Ling’s shake. But you seem like don’t know the difference between heaven and earth. You smashed my treasure net. On the account that you are friend of Zi Ling, this debt of crippling your own arms, forget it! I’ll give you a choice. Either cripple your own arms or let my men sever them.”
After reaching the Heaven Profound realm, one already had the ability to heal himself. Xuan Shuai said that crippling his arms was just a way for him to return the debt. It was just humiliation. He wanted to humiliate Feng Yun in front of Zi Ling.
“Haha…?” Feng Yun laughed wildly.
“What are you laughing about? Do you think I let you leave just like that after you disturbed by hunt.” Xuan Shuai smirked and said.
“You will know soon.” Feng Yun showed a sly smile and said.
Then, he sent a hint to Long Shu. While Feng Yun was talking to Zi Ling, Long Shu was talking to the vermilion bird the whole time. The vermilion bird was sensible to divine beast’s aura, immediately figured out the identity of Long Shu.
Long Shu nodded towards the vermilion bird.
The vermilion bird understood and roared towards the sky, Long Shu also let out a loud roar.
Cry! Roar!
The two Divine Beasts roared, shaking the heavens and the earth to the point of shaking. It was as if they were transmitting some sort of message.
The Spirit Beasts that had arrived in the vicinity just now had already arrived. Because of Long Shu’s arrival, everyone had quietened down. Now, they were once again agitated. They let out a roar in response, and numerous Spirit Beasts swiftly appeared in the sky.
Divine Beasts are called the kings of beasts for some reasons.
Lions, tigers, wolves, eagles… There were all kinds of spirit Beasts, and there were over a thousand of them. Moreover, there were quite a number of them that had rushed over from the depths.
This huge formation made all the cultivators here change their expressions, and all of them became nervous.
They were all worried. If these Spirit Beasts attacked at the same time, it would probably be difficult for them to break out of the encirclement!
This number was simply terrifying!
“So what do you think now?” The corner of Feng Yun’s mouth raised slightly as he said while looking at Xuan Shuai.
With such a large army of Spirit Beasts, Feng Yun could easily defeat them. Suddenly, he felt that he was in a very heroic mood. It was as if he was the most powerful person in the world.
