"Honglian, you better refine the legacy treasure of your Scorching Divine Phoenix clan as soon as possible. The Tian Yuan Continent and the Beast God Continent haven't been peaceful recently. Because of the Winged Tiger, the ruler of the Beast God Continent has become an enemy of Jianchen. Jianchen can be in danger at any time, so I can't be away from him for too long. Although Black Fish is by Jianchen's side, he's just one person after all. If he comes across two Holy Emperor experts, he won't be able to protect Jianchen, "Ruijin said.
Honglian nodded slightly. She also understood just how important Jianchen was to them right now. Although it was rather difficult for her to accept having to protect a human junior, she was willing to pay an even greater price for the sake of reuniting with her clansmen, let alone just temporarily.
Honglian glanced at the bead on the Ninerefined Godfire Feather. She asked, "Black Fish, what's this bead? It doesn't seem to belong to my Divine Phoenix clan."
"This was given to you by the Winged Tiger. It's an extremely wondrous treasure, specially used to protect the soul. It can prevent the soul from being affected by external factors. The method of refining the bead is extremely simple. All you need to do is drip a droplet of blood on it and fuse a strand of your soul into it, "Ruijin explained.
Honglian did not say anything else. Holding the Ninerefined Godfire Feather, the Scorching Godfire Hairpin, and the soul protecting bead given to her by the Winged Tiger, she plunged them into the churning lava at the mouth of the volcano.
Rum Guinness chose a beautiful mountain in the depths of the Cross Mountains to erect a tombstone for her dead husband. The tombstone was extremely simple, only consisting of a three-meter-tall stone slab and a mound of dirt.
Her husband's corpse was not buried in the mound of dirt. Instead, it was a few items that had accompanied her husband in the past, as well as some furniture that her husband had come into contact with when he lived in the Jinlijian clan.
Rum Guinness had no choice but to bury these items because her husband had died many years ago. Nothing remained of him, so it was impossible to find his remains.
"My child's father, the two of us have already avenged you. Rest well in the underworld …" Rum Guinness sat before the tombstone as she sobbed sorrowfully. Tears constantly flowed from her eyes.
Roar! The White Tiger also produced a deep roar. There was some sorrow in its voice, as if it was saying something in its own language.
Jianchen, You Yue, and Black Fish stood behind Rum Guinness silently, watching everything. Apart from Black Fish who was emotionless, Jianchen and You Yue both showed some sorrow and sympathy.
Behind them was the white-robed peng king and the elders of the Jinlijian clan. They all stood there silently, looking at Rum Guinness and the Winged Tiger with mixed feelings.
After the tiger king's death, the Peng King told the elders everything that had happened back then without missing a single detail, allowing them to understand the inside story. Rum Guinness had not colluded with the humans and betrayed the Gilligan clan. Instead, he had been framed by the tiger king. His objective was to harm the Winged Tiger God.
Although the elders of the Gilligan clan were all magical beasts, there was no lack of intelligent people among them. Many of them immediately thought of the Beast God Continent when they learnt this from the Peng King. They had already guessed that the tiger king's attempt on the Winged Tiger God's life definitely had the backing of someone with authority on the Beast God Continent. Otherwise, the Peng King would not have been so fearful.
Rum Guinness wiped away her tears and gently rubbed the White Tiger's head. She said, "Child, let's go. The Cross Mountains are no longer a place the two of us can stay." With that, Rum Guinness turned to Jianchen and bowed politely to Jianchen. She said, "Benefactor, thank you for avenging us. From today onwards, Rum Guinness is willing to serve as benefactor's lackey and follow by your side."
Jianchen helped Rum Guinness up in a hurry. He said, "Senior, please don't do that. Xiao Bai and I are very good friends, so it's only right for me to help a friend. Moreover, I have some grievances with the tiger king as well, so I'm only helping you get your revenge along the way. Senior, please don't call me benefactor. Just call me Jianchen."
"Benefactor, how can I do that? If you hadn't adopted my child when I was nearing the end of my life, my child might not have lived to this day. Moreover, it was you who saved my life. Benefactor's kindness to the two of us is so great that we won't be able to repay it even if we spend our entire lives," Rum Guinness said sincerely.
Jianchen felt bitter inside from Rum Guinness' attitude. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Senior, let's not talk about this for now. Let's leave this place first."
This time, Rum Guinness said nothing more. She followed Jianchen out of the Cross Mountains with the White Tiger.
Seeing them leave, the Peng King finally broke his silence. He said, "Rum Guinness, your child is the god of beasts, the Winged Tiger. We hope that the great god of beasts can stay and watch over the Gilligan clan and lead all the beasts in the Cross Mountains. Everyone in the Gilligan clan is willing to follow the great god of beasts." After saying that, the Peng King dropped to one knee.
"We are willing to follow the great god of beasts!"
After the Peng King dropped to his knees, the elders of the Gilligan clan all dropped to their knees and cried out. No one had any objections.
"We won't stay. The Gilligan clan has nothing to do with us anymore. I, Rum Guinness, am no longer a member of the Gilligan clan," Rum Guinness said without turning her head. Rum Guinness said without even turning her head. In her heart, the Gilligan clan was just a place of sorrow, a place of despair.
The Peng King immediately fell silent when he heard that. He sighed inside as his face was filled with regret. He knew that Rum Guinness was still unable to let go of what had happened in the past. This was because he did not do anything when the Tiger King pursued Rum Guinness and her husband. He also did not stand forward to prove his innocence when the Tiger King wronged Rum Guinness.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed through Black Fish's indifferent eyes. They sharpened in a single moment as he stared at the space in the sky.
The space above the Cross Mountains began to distort violently as a Space Gate rapidly formed. Two burly, middle-aged men and an evil-looking, middle-aged man of medium stature stepped out at the same time.
The three of them were the two Class 9 Magical Beasts of the Beast God Continent and the Holy Emperor of the human race, the path lord of carnal desires.
