[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

Everyone stared blankly at Bai Huang, as if they didn't recognize her at all.

Bai Huang leaped into the air. Since she had not yet become a true Xuan King, she could not use her wind wings and could only ride the wind beneath her feet.

Only when you reach the barrier can you feel the overwhelming pressure.

"Roar!"

The spirit beasts and demon beasts all turned bloodshot and roared as they charged toward a fixed point.

"What's that sound?" Bai Huang vaguely heard the slow, ancient sound of drums.

But she quickly had no time to think about the source of the drumbeat, because the ferocious beasts had already broken through a small opening in the barrier and rushed in one by one.

Bai Huang's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand, causing countless ice shards to transform into giant ice swords, which she then plunged into their bodies.

The crimson color spread, turning the surrounding snowfield a deep crimson.

Suddenly, a scorching heat hit Bai Huang's neck. Her eyes narrowed, and she instinctively dodged.

Just as she dodged, the sharp fangs grazed her face and bit down hard. Bai Huang could even smell the foul stench of the beast's breath as it bit down.

Her eyes were fierce, and an ice sword materialized in her hand, piercing directly through the beast's head and down to the top.

"Get out!" she shouted, pulling down with her ice sword. The beast's head was ripped off, and the raw flesh tore apart with a horrifying sound.

She held the enormous beast head in her hands.

She hurled it forward with all her might, and the beast's head smashed through several spirit beasts that were trying to charge forward.

Bai Huang didn't have time to catch her breath; she didn't even dare to reach in and draw power like before.

Even if she kills one, two or three more will rush in through the broken barrier. She simply doesn't have time to absorb the enormous energy hidden in their heads.

‘click’

Another crisp sound rang out.

Bai Huang glanced to the side, her heart shattering.

One of the barriers is about to be smashed open.

Fei Yingying said that there are a total of ten barrier entrances here.

The one not far from her was the last one.

"Manxin!" Her voice sounded like it was about to bleed. "Help me!"

Manxin's pupils shrank sharply, eerily shrinking into five small black dots in her eyes, looking like a small plum blossom.

"My master only told me to protect you..."

"You'd better block the last hole to save me!" Bai Huang turned around abruptly and slashed down another beast with her sword.

Looking at the motionless Manxin, she was overcome with anger and frustration.

A hint of annoyance appeared on his face, and the six spiritual meridians within his body suddenly lit up.

Her pupils suddenly turned completely silver-white.

The silvery white flashed by in an instant, but it filled her eyes, making her body stiffen, as if her mind had been lost in this silvery white expanse.

"Manxin! I command you!" Bai Huang tilted her head slightly, her silver-white eyes shining brightly once more, "Go and block the last entrance!"

Unlike her previous unyielding attitude, Manxin seemed to have been bewitched and immediately turned around and ran towards the cave entrance.

Bai Huang was taken aback by its appearance.

So obedient?

But she quickly forgot about Manxin's strange state, as the approaching ferocious beast immediately overwhelmed her.

Manxin ran to the cave entrance, and the dazed look in her eyes suddenly faded.

He transformed in a flash, turning into a timid young man in white.

"Damn it!" He covered his eyes in horror. "How could she have the Spirit King's Eye! Impossible! That's clearly..."

With a 'crack', countless cracks spread out along the last barrier opening.

Frustrated and annoyed, she frowned and said, "Fine! I'll listen to her this once."

He was filled with anger, and a strange restlessness within him was almost impossible to suppress. Ever since his master met Bai Huang, he had often been around Bai Huang, and rarely taken him out to vent his murderous desires. Over such a long period of time, his murderous desires had accumulated to a terrifying level, and he desperately needed to vent them.

The Nine-Tailed Fox clan should be skilled in bewitching arts, but it is an anomaly among the fox clan. It was born with a fierce aura. While other foxes drink the milk of their mothers when they are young, it drinks raw blood.

Later I learned to control myself, but I still need to vent every now and then.

"Roar!"

The pack of stupid beasts outside was still roaring at him.

"You're all so annoying with your chatter." All the gentleness and timidity on his face vanished, and the pent-up anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. "I'll skin you alive and see how you dare to yell then."

His form changed, transforming into a giant spirit fox. Starting from the tip of his tail, a shocking red color slowly spread across his entire body.

The blood-red seven-tailed fox was filled with murderous intent. Before the cave entrance could be completely shattered, it charged forward and, unable to restrain itself, tore through the last layer.

The entrance barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and bloodlust emanated from its eyes as it charged straight at the enemy.

……

Inside the Samsara Palace, Luo Jing sat on a high seat, unusually somewhat restless.

"Master?" Yingge said with a solemn expression, "The identities of the people who attacked our branches have been found out."

Luo Jing pressed his forehead and remained silent.

"They are from the Shangguan and Bai families."

Luo Jing suddenly opened his eyes and slowly looked at Ying Ge, his expression filled with a deep gloom.

"Of course... there are also people from the Zongxuan Alliance."

Luo Jing smiled when he heard about Zong Xuan Alliance.

"Heh...you missed checking one person."

Yingge raised an eyebrow in surprise. Who was missing?

But Luo Jing had already stood up. He walked to the window and looked at the sun gradually setting outside. The light of dusk was suffocating. The night was long, and dusk was the prelude to this long night.

"The Zongxuan Alliance's reach is so far, aren't they afraid of being chopped off? The only reason they can still control the Shangguan and Bai families is that the person in charge of Tianfeng has been lenient with them."

Luo Jing sneered, his shadow on the ground stretched long and thin. "The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. For Phoenix, the speed at which I am growing is frightening."

A hint of disgust flashed in Yingge's eyes after she finished listening.

"He doesn't even deserve it!"

"Why don't we take this opportunity to put Tianfeng in our own hands?" Yingge boldly suggested.

Luo Jing frowned.

"Not in a hurry."

Yingge was surprised. According to the usual practice, shouldn't the master have already wanted to cut the phoenix into eight pieces?

Luo Jing didn't speak, but silently turned around and faced the light. Ying Ge could clearly see a faint dark red tinge in his other eye.

Yingge's heart skipped a beat. "Master! Your body!"

Is it almost time?

……

It wasn't just the Feather Fiend Army and the Samsara Palace that were in turmoil; the Bai family and the imperial city were also in chaos these past two days.

"What's wrong with the young master again?" Madam Bai rubbed her temples, looking at Bai Sang who stood there timidly.

This girl's legs were broken when Bai Huang brought her here. It was because she saw that the girl was clever and quick-witted that she gave her some spiritual medicine to help her recover.

"Young Master Bai Song insists on going out." Bai Sang lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, his voice as timid as ever. "He said... he said he was going to the Yu Sha military camp to pick up Miss Bai Huang."

"Nonsense!"

Madam Bai angrily smashed the beaded string in her hand.

In the imperial city, Phoenix has been feeling rather unwell these past few days.

Because his most beloved son always stared at him with a very strange look.

She stared at him, then let out a long sigh, her eyes gradually dimming.

"Yu'er!" Phoenix couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table. "What is it? Just say it. Don't act like this."

Feng Yu's mind was filled with Bai Huang's sorrowful face and the words, "We are actually half-siblings!"

He closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and asked, "Father...did you ever love?"

Phoenix: "...?" What the heck?
