"Hmm?"
When the cultivators heard his words, they were stunned. They looked in the direction he was pointing in disbelief.
When they charged out of the black swamp, they saw the black-robed young man trapped by the eight old Gold Core servants of the Heaven Grudge Clan using formation flags. However, Granny Yao had stirred up their thoughts about the crimson dragon. They were only thinking about how to subdue the crimson dragon with the least amount of effort. As a result, they had no time to pay attention to a mid-stage Gold Core young man. Only now did they look in his direction.
After confirming that he wouldn't be able to charge out of the formation anytime soon, the Young Master transformed into his human form and stood silently in the air.
He also knew a powerful transformation technique. After transforming into his human form, even a Gold Core cultivator wouldn't be able to see through him. It was this transformation technique that allowed him to hide in the Heaven Grudge Clan's territory for a year without giving himself away.
"Who is this person?"
The purple-spotted old cultivator from the Heaven Grudge Clan turned to Fang Xing and asked when he sensed the lingering flame intent in the air.
Granny Yao of the Reverence Moon Clan, Shi Nansha of the Beast Tamer Clan, and Luo Musang of the Small Clans Alliance also turned to look at the Young Master with flickering eyes.
Fang Xing snickered and said, "Didn't I give you a red feather? Why don't you calculate the location of the Vermilion Bird? "
The purple-spotted old cultivator seemed to have heard something and his heart stirred. He opened his palm and a crimson feather appeared in his palm. He then nodded to the clansmen behind him and a yellow-faced young man stepped forward. He took out an antique compass from his storage pouch and poured his spiritual power into it, causing specks of light to appear on its surface.
The young man placed the red feather in the light of the compass and injected a few strands of spirit force into it. After a long while, the magnetic needle on the compass suddenly spun rapidly. The cultivators all held their breaths and looked in the direction of the magnetic needle. This was a magic tool used to find people. Before, when the cultivators used this red feather to search for the whereabouts of the Vermillion Bird, they borrowed its power.
Along the way, the cultivators had thought of capturing the Vermilion Bird as a sacrifice. However, the Vermilion Bird's movements were too strange. Its aura was intermittent, and it was impossible to pinpoint its location. Because of this, they gradually understood that the Vermilion Bird must have a powerful aura-concealing technique. For such an existence, it was impossible to find it in a short period of time. Therefore, the cultivators gradually shifted their attention to Fang Xing's red dragon. After all, the hostage in Fang Xing's hands was gradually losing its usefulness.
The cultivators were no longer afraid of harming the innocent. It was only a matter of time before they fought with Fang Xing and snatched the scarlet dragon.
However, at this critical juncture, the situation suddenly changed.
The magnetic needle on the compass spun a few times and suddenly came to a slow stop. It trembled a few times and pointed in a certain direction.
The direction it pointed in was none other than Fang Xing.
Under the astonished gazes of the cultivators, Fang Xing stepped aside, revealing the black-robed Young Master behind him.
At this moment, the Young Master seemed to have accepted his fate. He sat in the air without moving, allowing the magnetic needle to point at him. His face was expressionless.
However, the purple-spotted old cultivator, Granny Yao, and the others were shocked. Looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
Granny Yao was the first to jump out. She snatched the compass and used her divine sense to examine it. However, the results showed that there was nothing wrong with the compass. Even at her level of cultivation and at such a close distance, she could clearly sense that the aura of the scarlet feather came from the same source as the Young Master even without the guidance of the compass. It was obvious that the scarlet feather had fallen from the Young Master's body.
"You … how did you …"
Granny Yao had lived for almost a thousand years, but even she could not suppress the astonishment in her heart.
The other old cultivators were also shocked. They opened their transcendence eyes and looked at the Young Master carefully.
Fang Xing sneered coldly. The crimson dragon beneath his feet began to move, carrying him toward Granny Yao. He stopped a hundred zhang away from her, and with an unfriendly look in his eyes, he said, "Damned fatso, didn't you want to snatch my crimson dragon? Do you still want to make a move? " As he spoke, the scarlet dragon beneath his feet straightened its head. Its eyes were filled with bloodlust. On the dragon's head, Fang Xing also wore a cold smile.
The combined aura of the man and the dragon did not lose out to Granny Yao, who was at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage.
The expressions of the Reverence Moon Clan members changed simultaneously. They grabbed their artifacts and took up defensive positions.
On the other hand, Granny Yao's expression was ugly. Even though she was at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage, she knew that she could not subdue the scarlet dragon. If they really made a move, even if the Reverence Moon Clan gathered all their strength, they might not be able to gain the upper hand against the scarlet dragon. The reason they dared to challenge the Reverence Moon Clan was because they shared the same interests as the Fengtian Clan and the Royal Beast Clan. Now that the Vermillion Bird was captured, no one dared to fight the scarlet dragon head-on.
Faced with Fang Xing's provocation, she hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "It's just a joke. Why do you take it so seriously, little friend?"
"So it's a joke. I'm relieved …"
Fang Xing laughed when he heard that. He looked at the others and said with a smile, "What about the others? If you have any complaints about this young master, why don't we have a fight right now! "
When the tribe leaders heard his words, they immediately looked a little embarrassed.
The leader of the small clan alliance, Luo Musang, laughed and said, "Haha, little friend Xing, you really like to joke. This time, the cultivators of the five clans are exploring the Endless Ruins together. It's time for us to work together. There was some conflict because of the scarlet dragon, but now that we've captured the Vermillion Bird, that problem no longer exists. We've arrived at Three World Mountain and the Dao Palace is just around the corner.
Don't mention it again! "The cultivators fell into deep thought when they heard his words. Some nodded, some sneered, but no one objected.
In the Ruins Exploring Alliance, the Fengtian clan, Moonworshipping clan, Yushou clan, and the alliance of the small clans were considered one clan. The cultivators of these four clans were the main force of the exploration of the Endless Ruins. Previously, Fang Xing was mixed in with them and had even captured Magu. He had the scarlet dragon by his side and nine Golden Core realm servants, so his strength was not weak.
However, in the eyes of the cultivators, he was just prey that could be captured by the cultivators at any time. Therefore, no one took him seriously. Although he was the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan and his status was not lower than theirs, he was still not considered a clan.
But now that he had captured the Vermillion Bird, the situation had changed.
The hostility between them had been resolved. Fang Xing and the Heaven Hatred Clan he represented had officially squeezed into the Ruins Exploring Alliance and monopolized one of the clans.
"That's good. Seniors, this Vermillion Bird is also very fierce. It's up to you to capture it!"
Fang Xing laughed and said something nice. He cupped his fists and retreated to the side.
"This little bastard is so cunning …"
The cultivators all cursed in their hearts. They felt that the little devil's words were so nice, but in fact, he was unwilling to subdue the Vermillion Bird. After all, the Vermillion Bird had the bloodline of one of the four ancient fierce beasts. If they really fought to the death, it would not be easy to subdue it. Instead of saying that Fang Xing had captured it, it was better to say that he had lured it out and temporarily trapped it. He had not really subdued it.
It was the same for Fang Xing. If he wanted to capture the Vermillion Bird, he was afraid that even the eight Golden Core realm cultivators under him would not be a match for it. At the very least, it could find a chance to escape. But if the scarlet dragon were to attack, he would have no protection around him. If the other clans had ill intentions, it would be a little troublesome. Secondly, the scarlet dragon was his strongest combat power. If it was injured, he would be distressed.
"My friend Xing, you have lured the Vermillion Bird out. You have already made a great contribution. We will handle the rest!"
The long-haired man from the Royal Beast Clan, Shi Nansha, laughed. He stepped out from the crowd and took a green gourd from his waist. Then he looked at Fang Xing and said with a smile, "My friend Xing, you can ask your Heaven Hating Clan to retreat now!"
Fang Xing smiled and waved his hand. The eight people who had trapped the Vermillion Bird couldn't have asked for more. Seeing that Fang Xing had agreed, they withdrew their formation flags at the same time and flew to the side to watch. As soon as the Vermillion Bird regained its freedom, an ominous glint flashed in its eyes. Its body was wrapped in a terrifying and dense fire. Even from a thousand feet away, the Vermillion Bird could feel the intense heat.
As the fire cloud appeared around its body, the Vermillion Bird revealed its true form. It was a scarlet bird about seven or eight feet long.
"It really is the Vermillion Bird …"
This time, there was no need to guess. The surrounding cultivators' eyes widened and their hearts trembled with excitement.
"Ga …"
The Vermillion Bird seemed to hate Fang Xing to the extreme. As soon as the pressure on its body disappeared, it didn't want to escape. Instead, it wanted to pounce on Fang Xing.
However, Fang Xing was already prepared. As soon as the formation was undone, he immediately urged the Red Dragon to hide behind the purple-spotted old cultivator.
The Vermillion Bird was about to rush over when it suddenly noticed that there was a purple-spotted old cultivator between it and Fang Xing.
"Heh, you still dare to attack when death is at hand?"
The purple-spotted old cultivator suddenly pulled out a longsword that was as bright as autumn water from his sleeve. His gaze was calm and a sword intent faintly locked onto the Vermillion Bird.
The Vermillion Bird recognized the danger and revealed a hint of dread in its eyes. The fiery clouds around it flashed and it was about to escape. At this moment, it was about to use a teleportation technique. Currently, there were countless spatial cracks flashing above its head. Using a teleportation technique in this kind of place wasn't just courting death, but it was playing with its life. However, the Vermillion Bird couldn't care too much about it.
"In front of me, you won't be able to escape even if you use a teleportation technique!"
Granny Yao of the Reverence Moon Clan sneered. She slammed her dragon-headed walking stick on the ground and the sky suddenly changed color. Suddenly, a large amount of moonlight appeared around the Vermillion Bird and wrapped around it, immobilizing it. At the same time, Shi Nansha of the Imperial Beast Clan let out a long laugh and slapped the green gourd. A green aura swirled around the mouth of the gourd and the Vermillion Bird was sucked into it.
The old cultivators looked at each other. They were in a good mood and laughed at the same time.
Fang Xing also chuckled. However, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes. "I thought that they would both be injured. Why is this Vermillion Bird so useless? It was easily taken care of in a few moves?"
