A gigantic bird that was more than 30 meters tall and covered in dazzling flames descended from the sky in front of everyone.
A Vermilion Bird!
Even though this was the first time they had seen such a creature, it didn't stop them from recognizing it instantly!
The other members of the Sky Sword Sect felt as though they had fallen into an ice cave. Their bodies turned cold, and even their breathing became rapid.
They looked at the Vermilion Bird with fear in their eyes.
"Vermilion … Vermilion Bird … Impossible! Such a creature doesn't exist in this world! " The Heavenly Sword Sect Master looked at the burning bird and felt the magma-like heat from the bird. His mind went blank and he murmured, "This is fake … It's an illusion … It must be an illusion … Kill it!"
The Sky Sword Sect Master ordered the old man beside him. "Kill it!"
This old man was the one who had attacked Chu Mo earlier. He hesitated for a moment when he heard the sect master's order.
Even though they were from the Azure Dragon Continent and their Divine Beast Totem was the Azure Dragon, it didn't mean that they didn't respect the Divine Beasts from other continents.
The debate over the existence of the Four Divine Beasts had lasted for countless years!
Some people believed that they must have existed. Otherwise, how would the Four Continents have gotten their names?
On the other hand, those who disagreed believed that the Four Divine Beasts were imaginary creatures created by humans. They were made up by the secular royal family to maintain stability in their political power! Otherwise, why had no one ever seen them before?
Both sides had argued for thousands of years, with no one willing to accept the other's point of view.
Under normal circumstances, this debate would have continued.
However, today had become a turning point!
Because the real Vermilion Bird had appeared in front of them just like that. Furthermore, it was helping a mortal …
This made the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect feel as if they were dreaming.
The Sky Sword Sect Master shouted at the old man, "As the sect master, I order you … to kill this deceiving thing immediately!"
The old man gritted his teeth and attacked the Vermilion Bird. He roared, "Deceiving thing … Die!"
Boom!
A huge fireball shot out from the Vermilion Bird's body and headed straight for the old man.
Bang!
This elder with the Realm of Clear Mind was directly surrounded by the fireball in midair. In less than a tenth of a breath, he was directly turned into ashes!
The entire place fell into a dead silence!
The Vermilion Bird's cold and arrogant voice rang out at the same time, "How dare you offend me! Die!"
Chu Mo could feel the hands of Xiao Yiyue and Guo Yixiao, who were supporting him, trembling. It was obvious that they were completely frightened by the sudden appearance of the Vermilion Bird.
If they were already so frightened, then the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were even more frightened.
They stared dumbfoundedly at the gradually dispersing ball of flames in the sky, then tried their best to find traces of the old man.
But not even a speck of dust could be seen.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master's voice trembled as he said, "As a divine beast … as a divine beast of the Vermillion Bird Continent … why … why did you come to the Azure Dragon Continent to meddle in other people's business …"
"Ridiculous!" The Vermilion Bird's majestic voice interrupted the Heavenly Sword Sect Master's words. "In this world … is there anywhere that I cannot go? Moreover, what did it mean to meddle in other people's business? I am this young man's guardian! "
Guard! Protect! Swordsman!
These words … were like three sharp swords that stabbed into the hearts of the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, almost scaring them to death!
The legendary Vermilion Bird, the totem of the Vermillion Bird Continent … was actually the guardian of a secular young man on the Azure Dragon Continent!
Who would believe this?
But if they didn't believe it … who would dare to refute it?
A Heavenly Sword Sect elder had been burned to ashes right before their eyes. The others didn't have the courage to continue forward.
"Young master … please forgive this old man for coming a step too late!" An elderly voice rang out as a silver-haired old man stepped through the air and appeared. He cupped his hands in greeting when he saw Chu Mo.
This old man was the one from that day …
"You are?" Chu Mo was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't met Mister Qi before, so he was very unfamiliar with this silver-haired old man. He didn't understand why the old man was greeting him.
"Apologies, this old man is Qi Shan. I was once enlightened by young master's master and was to be young master's guardian. Now that I've finally made a breakthrough in my realm, I immediately rushed here. "Mister Qi bowed to Chu Mo again.
Chu Mo hurriedly returned the greeting. "You're too courteous."
"This is what I should do." Qi Shan's attitude in front of Chu Mo was very humble. This caused the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect to be a little dumbfounded.
Unlike Mister Tantai and Mister Yuchi, this Mister Qi was very famous in the entire Azure Dragon Continent.
Although this fame wasn't because of his realm, his connections … were quite strong!
Moreover, the previous Mister Qi had always been stuck at the metal stone realm, finding it difficult to break through. But this time, they discovered that Mister Qi's breathing was long and steady as he flew over from the sky, calm and composed. He'd obviously entered the realm of clear mind!
The Heavenly Sword Sect didn't want to provoke such a person even if he was only at the metal stone realm, not to mention that he'd already entered the realm of clear mind.
"Mister Qi … long time no see." The sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect smiled awkwardly and bowed to Mister Qi. Moreover, this bow … was obviously the bow of a junior greeting an elder!
This caused everyone else to be a little shocked.
"Xiao Zhu, you're in the wrong in this matter!" Mister Qi ignored the shocked and puzzled gazes of the others. He looked directly at the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect and said indifferently, "Retreat. Let's forget about this matter."
"This …" The sect leader's face was bitter. He felt as if he'd eaten a goldthread in his heart. He simply couldn't express his bitterness.
This time, he'd come with great ambitions, and wholeheartedly wanted to control the Misty Palace's inheritance in his hands.
But now, he'd suffered heavy losses. Two elders of the realm of clear mind had fallen. This was a huge loss to the Heavenly Sword Sect. As the sect leader, he had a considerable responsibility!
Once he returned, those elders would hold him accountable. Whether or not he could continue to be the Sect Master … was another matter altogether.
But looking at the current situation, if a fight really broke out, the remaining five people of the Heavenly Sword Sect would probably all die here!
Not to mention, just this Vermilion Bird alone was enough to completely defeat them.
Not to mention the fact that this Mister Qi had not only given him pointers, but had also saved him once when he was in danger during his training!
Just like what Mister Tantai had said, revenge must be taken, and kindness … must also be repaid!
Not to mention, from a certain point of view, Mister Qi's appearance at this moment was equivalent to saving him a second time!
Didn't you see the cold light in the eyes of that Vermilion Bird that was covered in flames?
The sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect knew that their Heavenly Sword Sect was doomed today.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Mister Qi has done me a great favor. How could I dare to disobey Mister Qi's words? I … will leave now! "
Coldly, Vermilion Bird said, "Did I allow you to leave?"
