Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

Su Cheng nodded in satisfaction, quickly putting the spirit stones into his storage bag, then revealed a meaningful smile: "Brother Jin, since that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. That day, a group of us went to Demon Flame Mountain to search for the precious Crimson Sun Grass. Who would have thought that we would encounter Elder Huo and Elder Jin of your sect there. However, the situation was somewhat unexpected. Elder Huo seemed to have a deep-seated hatred for Sun Kang. The two immediately drew their swords and started fighting without saying a word. However, Sun Kang is treacherous and cunning, and his methods are extremely despicable. In the heat of the battle, he actually used a poisonous scheme to ambush and kill the two elders..."

Upon hearing this, Jinlong trembled with rage and slammed his fist on the wooden table in front of him. With a loud "bang," the sturdy wooden table instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the ground.

"That damned Sun Kang! Last time he dared to cause a ruckus in my Lieyang Sect, and now he's hiding in your Muchun Hall! This is outrageous!" Jinlong roared furiously.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly flashed forward, taking advantage of Su Cheng's unpreparedness. With a flick of his sleeve, a rope gleaming with cold light shot out like a serpent, binding Su Cheng tightly with lightning speed.

Su Cheng was stunned by this sudden turn of events and asked with a face full of doubt, "This... Brother Jin, what do you mean by this? Why are you treating me like this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you'll find out when the time comes."

Time slipped by unnoticed. The Phoenix Flame, like a greedy beast, relentlessly devoured the sparks of fire from the Starfire Daoist. Each spark that merged into it seemed to infuse the flame with new life and power. Gradually, the Phoenix Flame's color underwent a wondrous change; its originally dazzling yellow faded, replaced by a deep and captivating blue flame.

At the same time, the divine egg, surrounded by divine fire, also developed tiny cracks under the intense heat. Wu Feilong stared wide-eyed at the divine egg before him, afraid to miss a single moment. Just as he was completely absorbed, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and a strange creature hatched from its shell!

Wu Feilong stared intently, then froze in astonishment. The newly born divine beast possessed a peculiar appearance: the head of an eagle and the body of a bird. It had two pairs of wings on its back: one pair resembling the graceful feathers of a bird, and the other pair like the nimble fins of a fish. Such a unique form was truly astonishing.

"I want to eat meat!" Suddenly, a childish yet clear voice entered Wu Feilong's ears. He snapped back to his senses in astonishment, only to find that it came from the mouth of the newborn divine beast before him. Wu Feilong was greatly shocked. He never expected that this little guy could speak human language so fluently and naturally right after birth, far surpassing the abilities of ordinary people.

Faced with the divine beast's straightforward request, Wu Feilong hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take you to find something to eat." With that, he led the divine beast into the dense forest.

This forest was full of life and danger, but Wu Feilong, with his superb martial arts skills, effortlessly hunted wild boars, wolves, and other wild animals. He placed these prey one by one in front of the divine beast, watching it eat with great anticipation.

The divine beast opened its mouth and devoured all the food with astonishing speed. In no time at all, the mountain of food was completely eaten, leaving not a single crumb behind.

"Little one, what's your name?"

"Call me Dapeng, I want more!" came the child's tender yet eager voice. Immediately following was a series of wolfish chewing sounds that echoed around them.

And so, over the next period of time, it hunted and killed dozens more ferocious beasts. Each one became a delicious meal for it. Only when it finally let out a satisfied burp did it stop. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened—the roc's body began to undergo astonishing changes!

Its originally thin body rapidly expanded as if inflated, more than doubling in size in the blink of an eye! Even the well-informed Wu Feilong was astonished by such rapid growth. After all, such extraordinary growth was truly rare.

After eating and drinking his fill, the roc seemed to feel a little sleepy, so he staggered straight toward the Starfire Jade Pendant. Before long, he crawled into the jade pendant and fell fast asleep.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, like the tolling of a great bell, echoing through the sky: "Where is Sun Kang?"

Hearing the sudden shout, Wu Feilong's heart tightened. Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately used his lightness skill to fly back to Mu Chun Hall. When he arrived, the scene before him astonished him. Ten enormous warships had appeared in the sky above the sect, their imposing presence awe-inspiring. Flame-red flags fluttered high on either side of the ships, swaying and crackling in the wind. And the pattern embroidered on those flags was all too familiar to Wu Feilong—it was the emblem of the renowned Lieyang Sect!

Faced with such a display of power, the many disciples of Muchuntang...

At this moment, Wu Feilong, standing amidst the chaos, thought to himself that he absolutely could not implicate the entire Muchuntang because of his own affairs. Moreover, the members of the Lieyang Sect were all physically strong and powerful warriors; if a fight broke out, Muchuntang would likely suffer heavy losses. Thinking this, Wu Feilong gritted his teeth, suddenly leaped forward, and declared loudly, "You Lieyang Sect members have always bullied men and women, committing countless evils. My killing of you villains is truly acting on behalf of Heaven. It is understandable that you seek revenge. But today, I, Sun Kang, have no further connection with Muchuntang. If you have the guts, come at me alone!" Having said this, he looked back at Mu Yao and Zhang Daojing with deep affection, his eyes filled with reluctance, then flew away on his sword, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

"Quickly, give chase! Capture this fiend alive, or at least find his body!" With Jin Liang's order, a huge warship roared away like an arrow, closely pursuing Wu Feilong ahead.

Meanwhile, Mu Yao was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably as she cried out to her father, "Father, please, you must save him!"

Zhang Daojing, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Child, the reason he's so resolute is precisely because he doesn't want us to be implicated. Right now, all we can do is take good care of his family. As for whether he lives or dies, we can only leave it to fate..."
