"City Lord."
The butler ran over tremblingly and helped the City Lord to his feet.
"I think the one you’re looking for should be ." Seeing that the City Lord didn’t intend to hand her over and was injured because of her, Dugu Qianye stepped forward and said to the Phoenix.
"You? Have you been to ngjiao Ridge?" the Phoenix asked. "Then did you capture a phoenix that looks similar to ?"
"No," Dugu Qianye replied.
Not knowing the Phoenix’s intentions, she dared not let it know about Xiaohuo. Everyone knew that there was no Phoenix Clan on Xuanyue Continent. The appearance of Xiaohuo was already strange, and now with the ergence of a Blue Phoenix, she couldn’t risk it.
"Hmph!" The Phoenix’s oppressive might concentrated and bore down on Dugu Qianye. She felt as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter, and the air in her chest was completely squeezed out.
"Speak, is there or isn’t there?" the Phoenix asked again.
"No." Dugu Qianye’s teeth had already bitten her own lips until they bled. She mobilized all the Phantom Power in her body, her hands braced against the city wall, making the utmost effort not to fall down. In the face of the enemy, one must never bend the knee! Blood poured out of her mouth in great gushes.
This was the gap in strength! I have to beco stronger! Dugu Qianye scread inside her heart. It was the first ti she had been made such a ss and was completely powerless to fight back.
"Greedy humans, you shall pay for your stupidity," the Phoenix said, preparing to deliver the final blow to Dugu Qianye.
Suppressed by the remnant might of the Phoenix, everyone could only watch with open eyes as the Phoenix directed its full oppressive might toward Dugu Qianye, watching her body gradually deform under the pressure.
"Master." Xiaoyin crawled on the ground, crushed by the Phoenix’s might. Seeing Dugu Qianye’s state, it cried out anxiously.
"Ah!" Dugu Qianye’s chest cavity had already deford under the pressure. For the first ti, she felt death so close to her. It seed that in the next second, her life would end.
"Who’s bullying my sister? Damn it, I’ll burn their whole family!" Just when Dugu Qianye thought she was about to suffocate, Xiaohuo’s voice rang out.
Similarly adorned with a cockscomb, swallow’s jaw, snake’s neck, turtle’s back, and fish’s tail, Xiaohuo, only about a dozen ters long and covered in colorful feathers, appeared before everyone.
"My Emperor!" The Blue Phoenix exclaid joyfully upon seeing Xiaohuo’s arrival.
Xiaohuo lowered its head to see Dugu Qianye’s terrible condition, cried out sharply, and then transford into the shape of a little girl and landed next to Dugu Qianye.
"Sister." Xiaohuo supported Dugu Qianye.
Dugu Qianye lifted her head and shook off so of the haziness. Seeing Xiaohuo, she asked weakly, "Xiaohuo? How did you co out?"
"I’ve finished assimilating the Wanyuan Fire Seed, and felt that you were about to die. It was Dudu who sent out." Seeing Dugu Qianye like this, tears filled Xiaohuo’s large eyes.
With the appearance of Xiaohuo, the Blue Phoenix withdrew its oppressive might. Xiaoyin transford into a two-ter-long form, allowing Xiaohuo to help Dugu Qianye onto its back to lie down.
Xiaohuo settled the unconscious Dugu Qianye and took a top-grade Sacred Rhinoceros Pill from Dugu Qianye’s Space Ring to administer to her, whispering softly, "Sister, I will avenge you!" Then she turned around to face the Blue Phoenix, her deanor no longer that of an adorable child, but rather that of a lofty Empress.
"A Super Divine Beast? No wonder you’re so arrogant," Xiaohuo said coldly. Her voice was still that of a little girl, but now it carried an air of superiority.
She transford into her true form, flew up into the sky to confront the Blue Phoenix. The Golden Phoenix’s oppressive might fully unleashed, causing all the birds in the sky to fall helplessly to the ground. Aside from Xiaohuo, not a single bird remained airborne, and even the Blue Phoenix, despite being a Super Divine Beast, wobbled in the air, finally falling to the earth, transford into a creature over ten ters in length.
"Hmph, a re Blue Phoenix dares to lay a hand on my contractor," Xiaohuo looked down at the Blue Phoenix on the ground with disdain, and breathed out a fla that enveloped the Blue Phoenix. The Blue Phoenix scread in agony as the flas burned.
The Soulfla, although not as instantly destructive as her Phoenix Golden Fla, was enough to tornt without harming the body, more than sufficient to deal with such a minor Blue Phoenix.
"Ah! Ah! My Empress, this is a misunderstanding. I did not know she was your contractor," the Blue Phoenix said. "A few days ago, I sensed your presence at ngjiao Ridge and wanted to find you right away, but I was at a critical point in my advancent, so I was delayed. I didn’t expect that soon after, I would lose your signal completely. I thought you had been captured by humans and were in danger, and in my haste, I acted rashly."
The people atop the city walls were completely dumbfounded by this series of events. It had looked as if Dugu Qianye was dood, but suddenly, a colorful phoenix appeared and turned the situation around completely.
Xiaohuo waited a mont before retracting her flas, looking coldly at the exhausted Blue Phoenix on the ground, said, "If I didn’t recognize your scent as familiar, just for harming my contractor, that would have been reason enough for to kill you with the Phoenix Golden Fla! Tell those Phantom Beasts to go back. You, co with . I have questions for you."
Xiaohuo transford back into the little girl, not even glancing at the Blue Phoenix, she went over to Xiaoyin, saying, "Let’s go back first." She then returned to the City Lord’s Mansion with Xiaoyin.
The Blue Phoenix ordered the Phantom Beast army behind her, "Disperse and return." She then transford into human form and followed behind Xiaohuo and others.
After receiving the Blue Phoenix’s orders, the Phantom Beasts left in an orderly fashion, leaving the people on the city walls staring in astonishnt as they departed. Divine Beasts had transford and left a Super Divine Beast utterly powerless. Was this truly happening? And that was it; the incident was over just like that?!
The first to regain his composure, the City Lord cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, everyone, for your efforts. Everyone should go back and rest, heal your wounds. The rewards promised to you will be honored later. Butler, make sure to distribute the Healing Pills for free. Everyone may leave now."
"Yes," the butler answered and went off to make arrangents.
The others supported each other as they departed, and the City Lord stayed behind to handle the aftermath.
Xiaohuo and Xiaoyin, carrying the critically injured and unconscious Dugu Qianye, returned to her quarters with the Blue Phoenix trailing behind them.
"Wait outside, do not co in," Xiaohuo instructed before she and Xiaoyin, who was carrying Dugu Qianye, entered, shutting the door firmly behind them.
The Blue Phoenix stood nervously outside the door, a wave of fear washing over her. Today, she had almost killed the master of the Empress—which was to say, almost indirectly killed the Empress herself!
Xiaohuo helped Dugu Qianye onto the bed and sat beside her, her face filled with worry, the severity from before gone. This was the most serious injury Dugu Qianye had suffered since they made their contract. Despite having taken the Sacred Rhinoceros Pill earlier, she still showed no signs of improvent.
After a while, the butler brought a Pharmacist. Seeing the blue figure standing with bowed head outside Dugu Qianye’s room, he made a respectful gesture. This was a Super Divine Beast!
The butler knocked on the door, explained his presence, and Xiaohuo opened the door. When the butler saw Xiaohuo, his heart filled with awe once again. What kind of background did Baili Xie have? Not only did he have a level 2 Divine Beast Silver Wolf, but now also a legendary Phoenix! Moreover, a Divine Beast that could transform at such a young stage and leave a Super Divine Beast powerless and now standing outside reflecting on its actions!
