Yaoguang Fairy Path

Elsewhere, in the Monster Forest, a man and a woman were frantically fleeing, trailed by a lion-elk beast. It was enormous, standing over three meters tall and reaching over five meters in length. Its fur was primarily golden, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight, as if clad in a coat of golden armor. Its limbs were powerful, its muscles flowing and graceful, and each step was firm and powerful, as if it could shake the earth.

The head of the lion-elk beast is as powerful as a lion. At this moment, its sharp fangs are exposed in its big mouth, and its eyes are full of murderous intent. It wants to tear these two humans to pieces and take back the beast egg.

The lion-elk's head was as majestic and ferocious as a lion's. At that moment, it opened its maw, revealing fangs as sharp as knives. Its eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty glint, as if it was determined to tear the two invaders apart. It roared, its voice shaking the earth and echoing throughout the forest, declaring its unwavering determination to reclaim the egg.

Panting, Yang Tao glanced back at the lion-elk beast that was chasing him relentlessly, and said to Li Yuru beside him, "Yuru, why don't we return the egg to it? If we keep going like this, it'll chase us forever. It's exhausting."

Li Yuru tightly grasped the beast egg in her hand, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Yang Tao, we can't return it to it. Even if we return it to it, it will not let us go. Look at its posture before, we just accidentally broke into its territory, and it wanted to kill us. I will never hand over this beast egg." Although her voice was a little trembling, her tone was extremely firm.

Li Yuru sent a message to Yang Tao, her voice steady and full of strategy: "Don't worry, we will leave the inner circle soon. Besides, don't we still have the thunder and fire talisman given by Yaoyao? Later we will do this..." She described the plan in detail, and every detail was carefully considered.

After hearing this, Yang Tao's nervous expression relaxed a little. He nodded, with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, I understand."

About a quarter of an hour later, they finally approached the outskirts of the Monster Forest. As if sensing the Lion Elk's thunderous pressure, the low-level monsters on the outskirts scattered in panic, as if facing an unstoppable disaster. Under the Lion Elk's pressure, the once bustling forest became eerily quiet, its heavy breathing and occasional roars echoing only.

Li Yuru's lips curled up into a provocative smile. She shouted provocatively at the lion-elk beast behind her, "Silly dog, come and bite me! Come on, Lululu! Looking at you like this, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you can't even catch two of us juniors. Humph, you're so arrogant. If I couldn't even deal with you, I would have died at the hands of the demons long ago."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lion-elk beast behind her let out a deafening roar of fury. It opened its massive mouth, revealing two rows of sharp, knife-like teeth. They gleamed coldly in the sunlight, appearing exceptionally ferocious. Its eyes were filled with rage, as if it wanted to devour Li Yuru and Yang Tao.

A hint of determination flashed in Li Yuru's eyes, and she quickly sent a message to Yang Tao: "Yang Tao, now is the time, hurry!"

After receiving the order, Yang Tao immediately took out two thunder and fire talismans from his storage bag at an extremely fast speed, activated them quickly, and threw them accurately into the huge mouth of the lion-elk beast.

Seeing this, the Lion Elk's eyes flashed with confusion. It didn't understand why these two humans were throwing things into its mouth. However, just as it shook its head in confusion, two thunder and fire talismans exploded in its mouth.

"Bang!" A resounding explosion shook the entire forest. The Lion Elk Beast didn't even have time to roar before the sudden explosion ripped flesh and blood from its body. Its body tumbled through the air, its flesh scattered everywhere. Flames and lightning intertwined with its body, making a crackling sound like the roar of a demon from hell.

Li Yuru looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but marvel at it. She swallowed and said with a hint of shock, "This power... is really amazing! Yaoyao, my dear, you are worthy of it. The power of this talisman is ridiculously strong!"

Then, she turned to look at Yang Tao, who was standing there calmly, as if the thrilling scene had nothing to do with him. Li Yuru asked curiously, "How many Thunder and Fire Talismans did you throw?"

Yang Tao scratched the back of his head and answered a little embarrassedly: "Two, two." There was a hint of humility and honesty in his words, as if he was a little shy about his actions.

Li Yuru looked at the ruins before her, her heart aching. She clutched her chest, her face twisted and painful, and let out a deafening roar: "What did you say? Such precious Thunder and Fire Talismans, and you only threw two at a lion-elk beast? This is such a waste!"

Yang Tao was frightened by her roar and hurriedly explained: "I... I was just too nervous. I was afraid that one picture would not be enough to subdue it, so... I'm sorry, Ayu." He scratched his head, with a hint of apology and helplessness in his tone.

Li Yuru took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She looked at Yang Tao, her brow furrowed. "No, we need to find a way to get more talismans on us, just in case. Then we'll have to ask Yaoyao, the big darling, to help us refine them."

Yang Tao nodded in agreement. They knew that in this dangerous forest full of monsters, the more prepared they were, the more hope they had for survival. So, the two began to discuss how to obtain more talismans and planned to ask Shuyao for help again.

Li Yuru's eyes sparkled with excitement. She turned to Yang Tao and said, "Let's go! I'll take you back to meet the elders." Her voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Yang Tao was caught off guard by this sudden surprise. His brain seemed to be stuck, and it took him a long time to react. He stammered, "A... A Yu, what... what did you say?" An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Li Yuru couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Her smile was full of tenderness and mischief. She patted Yang Tao's shoulder gently and said, "You are such an idiot. Why are you still standing there? Let's go!" After that, she took the lead and walked forward, leaving Yang Tao in a daze.

Murong Cheng and Zhang Zeye, who were watching the battle, marveled at how Luo Yunluo had merely taken the Ling family head's cultivation. They sneered at Ling Zhihong, mocking him for having lost not only his wife but also his army, now with his entire cultivation wasted, practically worthless. Even his prized Nine Netherworld Underworld Dragon had been shattered in the foggy forest, leaving him in disgrace.

They secretly rejoiced, thinking that Ling Zhihong's arrogance had finally received the punishment he deserved. They discussed it among themselves, lamenting that those who seek disaster will surely face punishment.

Deep inside the Li family mansion, Li Yunxiao shook his head slightly, a hint of regret showing on his face.

He murmured to himself, "What a shame! The Ling family's ancestor is actually a man of his imagination. However, I have plenty of patience. Since the Ling family wants to swallow up my Li family, they must be prepared to be retaliated against. Since more than a year ago, Ling Zhihong has been like a mad dog, biting him and opposing the Li family openly and secretly. But his Li family is no pushover. In short, the two sides have been fighting back and forth, and Ling Zhihong has suffered a lot from him."

Li Yunxiao frowned, thinking to himself, "Could it be because of my precious daughter? But even if it's Yu'er's fault, so what? He knows his daughter's character very well; she would never take the initiative to cause trouble. Even if Yu'er was at fault first, how could I, Li Yunxiao, a notorious 'daughter slave', blame her? Xirui and I only have this one precious child, so naturally, she must be pampered and protected, and she won't suffer the slightest injustice."

Deep in the Misty Forest, in a silent purple bamboo forest, Luo Yunhan stood quietly, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his hands behind his back, as if he had merged into one with the surrounding bamboo forest.

In the ball of light before him, Ye Shuyao slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze gleamed with determination and wisdom, as if she could see through everything in the world. As she awakened, the essence of the Thunder Pool within the ball of light surged out like a tidal wave, flowing continuously into her Dantian, forming a massive vortex that soared into the sky.

The sky over the Southern Territory grew unusually bright due to this powerful energy, but the people didn't react with curiosity or panic. They knew that a supremely powerful being was there, whose might was enough to make the entire Southern Territory tremble. Therefore, despite their curiosity, no one dared to venture forth to investigate. After all, no one wanted to risk their life for a moment of curiosity.

As the power of the Thunder Pool gradually weakened, eventually becoming as transparent as water, the purple spiritual root within Ye Shuyao's body shone with lightning, reaching the same level as the ice spiritual root. The repulsion between the two gradually disappeared, replaced by a perfect fit. At this moment, purple light flashed in her eyes like stars, and an indescribably powerful wave emanated from her body.

The ice-blue shield that had been enveloping her shattered like porcelain under this wave of force. The sound of shattering echoed through the air, crisp and melodious. As the shield shattered, the figures of a man and an ice phoenix appeared perfectly.

Ye Shuyao was surrounded by a shimmering purple light, as if enveloped in a purple flame, faintly shimmering with lightning. Beside her, the Ice Phoenix looked up to the sky, its wings spread wide, like a vast ice-blue cloud. Its tail circled around Ye Shuyao, as if protecting her.

The corners of Luo Yunhan's mouth rose slightly, outlining an elegant and satisfied smile, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, warm and intoxicating.

At this moment, a phoenix cry resounded through the heavens and earth, a high, clear voice reaching the sky. This cry echoed with the thunder and lightning emanating from Ye Shuyao's body, as if the entire world were trembling at this moment. One man and one phoenix seemed to become the center of this world, their presence eclipsing everything around them.
