The four elders had an unnatural expression on their faces. At the end of the day, they were from the pavilion master's generation. They had their own experiences and methods when it came to dealing with people. However, no matter how old they were or how experienced they were, they still respected the strong.
The pavilion master was the only exception.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion stared at the fiery red wings of the sacred beast, the fire phoenix, in a daze. It was graceful, its feathers glowed with five colors, and its footsteps glowed with light. Its appearance was extraordinary.
It was clearly an auspicious creature as well.
The others were on tenterhooks, worried that the fire phoenix would continue its attack.
This was the third time the Evil Sky Pavilion had encountered the fire phoenix. The first two clashes were still fresh in their minds.
They did not think the fire phoenix would be easily killed, especially when it possessed the ability to rise from the ashes.
Everything in the world had a weakness. However, nobody knew the fire phoenix's weakness, at least until now. All they knew was that it was at its weakest during its rebirth. In the unknown lands, the people who had personally witnessed the fire phoenix's rebirth and ascension to become a saint felt nothing but respect when they faced a sacred beast.
The fire phoenix lowered its head slightly and looked at Lu Zhou's palm.
It was not a fool. It would not give up its Birth Chart Heart so easily.
From its mouth, it let out a clanging cry.
Before Conch could translate, the little phoenix beside Little Yuan 'er could no longer hold back. It flapped its fleshy wings and flew up slowly.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion did not stop it. Instead, they watched as the little phoenix flew toward its mother.
The little phoenix flapped its wings happily before its mother. It flew around its mother a few times and chirped excitedly.
It would occasionally spit out flames to show off its abilities.
When the little phoenix finally stopped and landed next to its mother, the fire phoenix swept its wings and caught its mother.
It seemed like it was going to leave.
Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Are you going back on your word?"
Clang, clang, clang …
The others looked at Conch in unison.
Conch stammered, "It said … it said yes."
"…"
He said, "Are you kidding me? You're a great sacred beast, and yet you're going back on your word? Can't you be more virtuous? "
Conch's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"It said that lowly humans don't deserve to negotiate with it."
Mingshi Yin pointed at Huofeng and said, "Well done, Huofeng. To think that my Ninth Junior Sister raised your child to be so fair and plump. He's so full of shit and piss, and yet you're turning your back on her?"
Little Fire Phoenix:?
'?'
The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings slightly and raised its head high. It looked at the sky with an expression that said, "What can you do about it?"
Conch said, "So what if it says yes?"
"…"
The Evil Sky Pavilion would not be able to do anything if it decided to go back on its word.
However, as the Cabinet Master who had fought with fire phoenix twice and gained the upper hand both times, he might have a way to deal with it. Let's see how the old man deals with it.
Everyone fell silent and looked at the Pavilion Master.
Lu Zhou maintained his outstretched palm and said, "Are you sure you want to go back on your word?"
The Flaming Phoenix lowered its head and stared at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou's expression did not change at all. His eyes were as calm as ever.
The fire phoenix did not make a sound.
It looked left and right.
It looked up at Executor Xu Tianqi.
The densely packed vines on the ground had been burned to ashes by the True Fire.
It did not make a sound as it looked away.
It was clear that it was going back on its word.
For a Holy Beast, the Birth Chart Heart was equivalent to its life. Lending out the Birth Chart Heart was no different from lending out its life. Not to mention Sacred Beasts, even humans would not lend their lives to others so easily. Moreover, the Holy Beast, the Flaming Phoenix, had never had a good impression of humans. It viewed humans as lowly ants and worms.
Lu Zhou retracted his palm and stood calmly.
He did not say anything unnecessary. Instead, he said indifferently, "Take care."
He turned around.
He walked on air.
Whitzard flew over.
Lu Zhou leaped up and landed on Whitzard's back.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion exchanged a look. Although they should respect an expert, it was embarrassing for a beast to go back on its word.
'Are we going to let this go?'
However, when they saw the Pavilion Master had no intention of reasoning with them, they did not say anything.
"Let's go," Lu Zhou ordered.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Dun Nong Tianqi," Lu Zhou replied.
The others bowed. "Understood."
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion leaped onto their mounts in unison.
Kong Wen said, "Please wait for a moment, Pavilion Master. I'll come after I retrieve the Birth Chart Heart."
He leaped down and dissected the Huge Iron Armored Beast. It took him a great deal of effort to retrieve the Birth Chart Heart.
"There are six of them!" Kong Wen was overjoyed.
He held the Birth Chart Heart in his hands as he walked up to Lu Zhou respectfully.
Lu Zhou glanced at the Birth Chart Hearts. He waved his sleeve and put one of them away. He said, "Some Birth Chart Hearts can't be obtained by force. Although the Huge Iron Armored Beast is a Great Void Holy Beast, if I wanted to take its Birth Chart, it would have fallen. "
The Flaming Phoenix was puzzled.
The others nodded.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "However, the 2,000 Silver Armored Guards died in the sea of fire. I don't think the Great Void will let this matter rest. There's no need for you to worry. With me around, I'll ensure your safety. "
The Flaming Phoenix was puzzled.
Lu Zhou patted Whitzard's back lightly.
Whitzard chirped softly and stepped out of the auspicious Qi.
Lu Wu and Cheng Huang stood on the left and right. The two colossi looked at the Great Fire Phoenix and Little Fire Phoenix. Without saying anything, they turned around.
The Great Fire Phoenix turned its huge head and stared at Xu Tianqi.
It would have been fine if he hadn't taken a closer look, but he did see a shadowy figure hiding behind Enforcer Xu Tianqi, sneakily spying on the crowd.
The black shadow was none other than the God's Corpse, Prince Ye.
There was not a single beast in the world who had not heard of Prince Ye's name. He was once the God of Beast Tamers. Although he had fallen, his might that intimidated the masses and made the beasts submit to him still lingered.
"Wait, wait!"
The Flaming Phoenix Holy Beast was finally able to speak.
The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion were shocked, but their expressions were calm as they followed behind Lu Zhou.
The Great Fire Phoenix spread its wings.
The flames burned and enveloped Little Fire Phoenix.
Lu Zhou ignored it and said, "Time is of the essence. The people from the Great Void should be here soon."
"You're right, master. We should depart as soon as possible."
The others nodded.
The Great Fire Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky. It instantly appeared in front of Lu Zhou.
"Borrow … borrow, you, it is you!"
The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion were speechless.
Lu Zhou said calmly, "You've changed your mind again?"
"No … no, I haven't," the Great Fire Phoenix replied.
"Since you can speak the human language, why don't you say it yourself? Isn't it inappropriate to push the blame to my Little Junior Sister at a time like this?"
The Great Fire Phoenix continued to look at the others arrogantly. "Love … believe … or not."
It spoke slowly. If one did not connect the syllables together, it would be difficult to understand.
"You're quite the tsundere. You're all talk and no action. Hand over the Birth Chart Heart you promised." Mingshi Yin flew toward the Great Fire Phoenix and extended his hand.
After all, since the master could not do it, the disciple would do it for him.
After all, one's pride could not be eaten. The Birth Chart Heart could improve one's cultivation base.
The Great Fire Phoenix hesitated for a moment before it spoke in a sonorous voice.
The others looked at Conch again.
Mingshi Yin said, "Is it going to renege on its promise and scold me?"
Conch was puzzled.
"Just tell me. I can tell that it's scolding me," Mingshi Yin said as he stared at the Great Fire Phoenix.
Conch shook her head and said, "It said that it's willing to hand over the Birth Chart Heart, but it's worried that master will use it and not return it."
Lu Zhou said calmly, "You just have to remember that I'm not you."
Little Yuan 'er could not hold it in any longer.
She wanted to say something, but she was held back by her Sixth Senior Sister.
Little Yuan 'er flew out. She pointed at the Great Fire Phoenix and said, "I brought you up, and yet, you're working with your mother to bully my master!
Little Yuan 'er flew out, pointed at Little Flaming Phoenix, and said, "I've raised you up, but you and your mother are bullying my Master! Your life is not even comparable to a Birth Chart Heart? Now that your wings have hardened, you think you're so great? Now that your wings have hardened, you think you're so great? "…???"
"…???"
The others were speechless.
This graceful young lady was exquisite and beautiful. When she was angry, she resembled an auntie at the village entrance.
Well, that was true.
When the Great Fire Phoenix heard this, it could no longer maintain its composure.
At the end of the day, its relationship with Little Yuan 'er had always been good. Its biological mother had abandoned it when it was born. The debt of raising her was greater than the heavens. Even a few Birth Chart Hearts could not compare to its value.
The Great Fire Phoenix suddenly flapped its wings and broke free of its old mother's protection. It flew around Little Yuan 'er in the air.
Its body shrank, and the flames disappeared. It landed on Little Yuan 'er's shoulder before it called out to its old mother in a sonorous voice.
The Great Fire Phoenix. "???"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Conch was the only one who could not hold back her laughter. She covered her face and laughed.
The Great Fire Phoenix was puzzled. It looked at the sky, the ground, the Apocalypse Pillar, and Prince Ye who was cowering in a corner.
It nodded.
It opened its mouth, and its stomach churned.
"Wah!"
Two Birth Chart Hearts that shone with a fiery red radiance that resembled dragon fruits flew out.
"Two?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
He did not stand on ceremony and put them away.
The Great Fire Phoenix inhaled deeply. The flames on its body receded.
It reverted to its original appearance.
After losing two Birth Providence Hearts, it looked a little dispirited.
Lu Zhou patted Whitzard.
Whitzard shook its head. "Meh!"
'Whitzard has a temper as well. It's like me in this. Very good.'
The Great Fire Phoenix looked at Whitzard awkwardly.
In terms of status, it did not think it was superior to Whitzard.
Bai Ze's indifferent attitude hurt it a little.
It said a few words in a sonorous voice.
Conch translated, "One of them is for master, and the other is for Ninth Senior Sister. It's in return for nurturing the Little Fire Phoenix. However, it hopes that you can return the Birth Chart Heart to it as soon as possible. The Birth Chart Heart will lose much of its energy if it's been away for too long. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "This isn't the place to awaken one's Birth Chart."
Conch said, "It said it can bring us to Dun Ei."
"You?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
The Great Fire Phoenix spread its wings.
Unlike before, there were no flames this time.
The wings that spanned 10,000 feet covered the sky like a canopy.
"Alright." Lu Zhou nodded. He looked at the others and said, "Go with the Fire Phoenix."
"Understood."
Ye Tianxin said, "Master, let's go with Cheng Huang. Cheng Huang has become a Beast Emperor. Although it's not a Holy Beast, the Fire Phoenix won't be able to carry it."
Duanmu Sheng chimed in, "I think so too."
Lu Zhou gave it some thought and said, "That's a good idea. However, the journey will be fraught with danger."
"Don't worry, master. I'll go with Third Senior Brother. We'll look out for each other. We'll only travel to avoid battle. "
"Alright."
Lu Zhou produced a jade talisman from his sleeve and tossed it to the two of them. He said, "This is a Group Teleportation Jade Talisman. Keep it safe."
Something stirred in Ye Tianxin. She stood up from Cheng Huang's head and bowed respectfully. "Safe journey, master!"
Duanmu Sheng bowed as well.
The others, including Lu Zhou and Whitzard, leaped onto the Fire Phoenix's back.
The Holy Beast was too huge. The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion only occupied a small portion of it when they landed on top of it.
The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings.
Whoosh!
The Holy Beast soared 90,000 miles into the sky. It rode on the wind and soared into the clouds. The others cried out in shock as they vanished in just a blink of an eye.
Ye Tianxin returned to Cheng Huang's back and said, "Third Senior Brother, Lu Wu!"
"They're here. Let's go! "
The two Beast Emperors leaped 10,000 feet into the air.
…
Xu Tianqi, the Executor, fell silent.
The originally lush and lush environment had turned into a scorched black expanse.
Wang Ziye crawled out from a corner. He spread his arms and looked at the sky. His panda eyes were wide open as he muttered under his breath.
Then, he ran toward the cave as though he had lost his mind.
After that, Wang Ziye did not show himself for a long time.
The incident involving Xu Tianqi soon reached Jiang Wenxu's ears.
When Jiang Wenxu heard his subordinate's report, he was enraged. He said, "3,000 Silver-Armored Guards were wiped out?!"
"Calm down, master! The culprit of this incident is the Fire Phoenix Holy Beast! There's nothing we can do about it. "
"The Silver-Armored Guards had the Armored Demonic Dragon Holy Beast with them. Even if they couldn't defeat it, they shouldn't have been wiped out!" Jiang Wenxu could not understand.
With so many people, there was no way none of them could escape.
Not only that, but the incarnation created by his supreme-grade holy artifact was also dead. This was even more incomprehensible.
"Is there any news of Jiang Dongshan?" Jiang Wenxu asked.
If he could find his corpse and use the holy artifact's characteristics to read his memories, he might be able to figure out the reason.
The subordinate said, "There's no trace of Jiang Dongshan. However … the Dark Armored Guards of the Dark Palace have seen a golden lotus cultivator named Jiang Dongshan. Because of this, the Dark Armored Guards went to the Holy Palace to demand an explanation, but the matter was left unsettled. "
"The Dark Armored Guards …"
Jiang Wenxu's expression turned slightly angry at the mention of the Dark Armored Guards. "I haven't settled the score with them yet. The First Consort, Tianqi, killed hundreds of my Silver-Armored Guards, and yet he dares to go to the Temple Master?"
Then, Jiang Wenxu said, "I'm going to the Holy Palace."
…
Meanwhile.
News of Xu Tianqi's death had also reached Xi's Hall.
Lan Xihe could not understand. He said, "I've been in Zhixu for a while. It was unusually peaceful there. Why did the earth crack?"
"This is the result of the Holy Palace's investigation. It should be true. I heard that the three thousand Silver-Armored Guards were completely annihilated. "
"Jiang Wenxu has always been conceited. He suffered a great loss in the golden lotus domain back then, and he's still the same now," Lan Xihe said.
"Master is right."
"Three thousand Silver-Armored Guards were completely annihilated. He won't be able to sit still. He'll go to the Temple Master …" Lan Xihe smiled. "You stay here. I'll be back soon."
"Yes."
Lan Xihe disappeared.
A moment later.
The Holy Palace.
The Scales of Justice tilted greatly again. The ground would rise and fall from time to time. It was very difficult to maintain balance.
