The little phoenix said, "Go quickly! Why are you looking at me? That guy is about to pounce."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yi Han's lips twitched slightly. He drew his Zi Wei Sword and charged forward.
After a few rounds, Gong Yi Han found himself being chased by the Twin-Feathered Winged Tiger as well.
After all, Gong Yi Han was only at the ninth stage of the Spirit Emperor realm, while the Twin-Feathered Winged Tiger was a divine beast, and a rampaging one at that. Even with his ability to fight beyond his level, Gong Yi Han couldn't possibly defeat a divine beast.
Meanwhile, Chu Jun Mo watched this scene with a smug expression. Just as he thought the Twin-Feathered Winged Tiger was about to tear Gong Yi Han to shreds, a stronger divine beast's pressure forced him to his knees.
The rampaging divine beast, the Twin-Feathered Winged Tiger, was instantly annihilated.
Chu Jun Mo: ...Utterly dumbfounded. What was going on? What just happened?
Gong Yi Han let out a huge sigh of relief, having been moments away from using a transmission talisman to call Ming Li to collect his corpse.
Two seconds later.
Gong Yi Han suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
Gong Yi Han: ...Wait! Holy crap! Where did this divine beast pressure come from?
Gong Yi Han looked at the small black bird standing on the back of the little red pig not far away with disbelief. His jaw dropped so hard he couldn't even pick it up.
Gong Yi Han: ...Are they all this good at hiding their strength? Is this also a divine beast? Are divine beasts becoming too common lately? Didn't they say divine beasts were rarely encountered once in a century?
Seeing Gong Yi Han standing there blankly, the little phoenix looked at him with the gaze one would reserve for an idiot and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat a healing pill! Is this guy's reaction time a bit too slow?"
Hearing this, Gong Yi Han quickly stuffed handfuls of healing pills into his mouth.
Chu Jun Mo, still kneeling on the ground, had his eyes practically popping out, his gaze filled with jealousy.
That little black bird was a divine beast!! And it didn't seem like an ordinary divine beast!! Why was his master so biased?! Why did she give all the good things to him? He was her disciple too!
As Chu Jun Mo knelt and gnawed with frenzied jealousy, behind him, the female protagonist Miao Yin Yin and a group of demons also knelt down.
Miao Yin Yin touched her forehead with two fingers, bowed, and said, "Lord Feng Ling!"
The little phoenix's name was Feng Ling. She was ranked second among the Ten Great Ancient Divine Beasts, the Mo Ling Huang, the Emperor of Wings in the demon realm. Her power was immense, and she held the position of second-in-command in the demon realm, below the Demon Lord. In short, her status was incredibly high.
The little phoenix heard Miao Yin Yin's voice but showed no intention of acknowledging her, not even giving her a glance.
She had heard from the system that this Saintess seemed to harbor rebellious intentions, wanting to usurp the position of the Overlord. Such a person didn't need to be shown any respect.
And so, the female protagonist continued to kneel awkwardly, not daring to stand up. Although she was the Saintess of the demon realm, her status was not as high as the little phoenix's.
At this moment.
Not far away, a group of miniature spirit beasts was frantically rushing towards this location. They were being followed by a group of people from the Beast Taming Sect, led as always by the sect's eldest disciple, Jiu Hao Nan.
A disciple asked, "Eldest Brother, what's wrong with our contracted beasts? They were fine just now, why did they suddenly run out of the contracted space and head in this direction? Did something happen over there?!"
Jiu Hao Nan glanced at his contracted beasts and said helplessly, "I don't know either. Let's follow them and see."
The miniature spirit beasts' eyes were shining with adoration as they ran, shouting, "It's the Boss's aura! It's the Boss's aura!"
The Boss is over there, hurry, hurry!
Roar, roar, roar! Boss, wait for me! Boss, I'm coming!
After running for a while, the group of miniature spirit beasts finally reached the place emanating the divine beast's aura.
Following the scent, the miniature spirit beasts found the little phoenix standing on the system. They stood not far away, looking at the little phoenix with adoration.
The system, receiving these gazes, mistook them as being directed at itself and proudly lifted its small head.
ps: Thank you, my dears, for the gifts!
