Xu Fang sighed repeatedly upon learning the identities of the demon race.
He felt truly unlucky. He had just offended the two powerful beings from the West, and now he had also made an enemy of the Kunpeng from the Northern Nether Palace.
Had all his luck been used up in treasure hunting, leaving him with such dire fortune?
Seeing Xu Fang sigh, the demons believed he was intimidated by the name of the Kunpeng Ancestor of the Northern Nether Palace. Their courage immediately bolstered, and they spoke up again.
"Immortal, I know you are powerful, but Ancestor Kunpeng is not to be trifled with. I advise you to know when to quit!"
"Indeed, as long as you let us go, we will help you smooth things over when we return."
"You must consider carefully. The wrath of the Northern Nether Palace is not something a mere rogue immortal like you can bear!"
The demons' words began to carry a threatening tone. Before Xu Fang could say anything, the large bird could no longer stand it.
"If you want to beg for mercy, act like it. What is this behavior?"
The large bird berated them sternly, then flew forward and landed in front of Xu Fang.
"Immortal, do not listen to their words. They are merely trying to escape now. When they turn around, they might bring Ancestor Kunpeng here to seek revenge!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, Big Bird!"
"Haven't you had enough fighting just now?"
"Brothers, grab your weapons and take care of this big bird first!"
The demons were enraged. Of course, they intended to escape first and then bring Ancestor Kunpeng back to seek revenge on this rogue immortal.
Could demon matters be considered cowardly?
This was called being adaptable. If you keep the green hills, you'll never run out of firewood.
Now that the big bird had exposed their thoughts, they were naturally furious. They regretted not tearing the big bird apart earlier, preventing it from spouting nonsense here.
"Enough!"
Xu Fang roared, and his aura as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal surged forth, instantly suppressing the demons so they couldn't move.
"Immortal, this..."
The demons were greatly alarmed and looked at Xu Fang.
"Hmph! Ancestor Kunpeng, is it? The Northern Nether Palace, is it?"
Xu Fang snorted coldly. "When have I ever feared him?"
Xu Fang certainly didn't fear Kunpeng. He had even offended a future Saint of the West. A mere Kunpeng wouldn't scare him; he had merely found it troublesome before.
"How can I not understand your intentions? In that case, I truly cannot let you go."
Xu Fang spoke and looked at the big bird.
"They ganged up on you earlier, and you still haven't taken revenge?"
Upon hearing this, the big bird's spirits soared.
These demons had bullied him, a lone bird, with their numbers. He had been brimming with suppressed anger.
"Heh heh, little demons, let this great master return the favor!"
The big bird said, a cruel smile on its lips as it slowly approached the demons.
Alas, the demons, suppressed by Xu Fang, couldn't move at all and could only cry out loudly, "Don't come near us!"
The big bird paid no heed to their pleas. It charged in and unleashed a barrage of attacks, the scene becoming incredibly bloody with constant wails.
Xu Fang shook his head and did not watch the brutal scene. He landed beside the Da Luo Flower.
Before long, the big bird had dealt with all the demons. Wiping a smear of blood from its face, it landed beside Xu Fang.
"Thank you, Immortal, for your rescue. I am eternally grateful and will surely repay you well in the future."
The big bird was indeed a creature of character, clear in its grudges and favors. It solemnly promised Xu Fang future repayment.
"It's nothing. I was just passing by and didn't like the look of these demons."
Xu Fang replied, his eyes fixed on the Da Luo Flower.
"So this is what the Da Luo Flower looks like!"
Xu Fang had been fixated on the Da Luo Fruit before and had never seen the Da Luo Flower. Seeing it for the first time now, he was naturally full of curiosity.
These words fell upon the big bird's ears. Seeing Xu Fang staring intently at the Da Luo Flower, a conflicted expression appeared on its face, showing its difficulty.
Logically, it had found the Da Luo Flower first, and it should have been its possession.
It had even directly clashed with the demons for this Da Luo Flower.
If this immortal had not intervened, it would have been drowned amongst the demons, its bones lost to the earth.
Now that the savior immortal was staring intently at the Da Luo Flower, the big bird naturally assumed he had taken a liking to it.
After much deliberation, the big bird gritted its teeth and spoke.
"Immortal, if you like it, the Da Luo Flower is yours!"
The big bird said it resolutely, but its heart was bleeding.
After all, its advancement to Grand Unity Golden Immortal depended on this Da Luo Flower.
However, without the immortal's rescue, let alone advancement, its life would have been lost.
The debt of gratitude was as high as the mountains and as deep as the sea. At this moment, no matter how reluctant, it had to part with it in pain.
"Why would I want your Da Luo Flower?"
Xu Fang turned to look at the big bird, as if he were using his life-saving grace to extort something.
Although he had come for the Da Luo Flower, seeing how recklessly the big bird had fought for it, it would be unreasonable for him to covet the treasure any further.
Moreover, this treasure wasn't what he was looking for; he was just passing by.
Seeing this, the big bird pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Immortal, you may not know, but the Da Luo Flower can help one advance to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm."
"It seems to have little use for you, Immortal, but if it can bear the Da Luo Fruit, it can also help you increase your realm."
"You have saved my life, Immortal. How could I possibly be reluctant to part with such a small treasure?"
Xu Fang saw that the big bird spoke with utmost sincerity, yet its eyes remained fixed on the Da Luo Flower, showing its reluctance. He felt its earnestness.
"Da Luo Fruit, you say? Is this it?"
Xu Fang said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out several treasures, which instantly emitted brilliant light.
"Da Luo Fruits! So many!"
The big bird was utterly shocked. Several Da Luo Fruits in Xu Fang's hand were shining brightly, almost hurting its eyes!
Looking back at the Da Luo Flower on the ground, the big bird instantly felt that the treasure was no longer as appealing.
"Alright, you keep the Da Luo Flower. I won't fight you for it."
Xu Fang patted the big bird on the shoulder, comforting it.
The Da Luo Flower was of little use to him anyway. It was better to leave it for this big bird with good character, thus fostering a good relationship.
The big bird was completely stunned. Having seen so many Da Luo Fruits, its cherished Da Luo Flower now seemed like nothing special.
After dazedly accepting the Da Luo Flower, the big bird remained in a state of shock, unable to snap out of it.
Facing Xu Fang, it was at a loss for words, its thoughts in a turmoil.
Who exactly was this senior?
For others, finding a single treasure was a great fortune. How could this person, with a mere reach into his pocket, produce so many Da Luo Fruits?
Just then, Xu Fang's brow suddenly furrowed.
"Wait! We must leave this place quickly!"
