If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

"boom--!"

A streak of seven-colored light, like a phoenix with broken wings, crashed heavily into the forest surrounding the ruins.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

A tree that was as thick as several people could hug was snapped in half by the impact, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Jin Qiaoqiao climbed out of the deep pit.

Her once dazzling peacock palace dress was now tattered, and three deep, bone-revealing claw marks on her right shoulder were emitting black smoke.

That is the "Heaven-Splitting Qi" of the Roc clan.

Domineering, insidious, and like a malignant tumor, it corroded her flesh and blood.

"puff."

Jin Qiaoqiao spat out a mouthful of pale golden demon blood.

She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. There was no fear in her narrow phoenix eyes, only the ruthlessness of someone driven to the brink of despair.

"The Golden-Winged Roc... is very good."

She gritted her teeth, her voice cold.

His divine sense spread backward like a tide.

A hundred miles away.

Three violent auras were rapidly approaching in a triangular formation; they were the young master of the Great Roc clan and the two elite warriors he had brought with him.

That was the aura of a great demon in the Transformation Stage suppressing its cultivation level.

Once caught up.

There is only one possible outcome.

Captured by the young master of the Great Roc, whose mind was only focused on mating and devouring, he was reduced to a tool for procreation, and in the end, he watched as the Peacock Clan was swallowed up, skin and bones.

"You want me, Jin Qiaoqiao, to accept my fate?"

"dream."

She took out a dull peacock feather from her bosom.

This is a forbidden inheritance within the clan—"The Imperial Feather".

The Peacock King's Guide to Governing People.

The orthodox demon race scoffs at this evil art.

Using human cultivators as furnaces, forcibly implanting slave marks into them, turning them into "human mounts," extracting their essence and spirit to nourish themselves, and even using this to briefly unleash combat power beyond their realm.

Although the side effects are severe, and it may even pollute the noble peacock bloodline.

But now, this is her only lifeline.

"I need a furnace."

Jin Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the injuries in her body, and transformed into a blur as she rushed outwards.

"A top-grade consumable with blood and qi as strong as a dragon and pure spiritual energy."

Dozens of miles away.

An inconspicuous, rocky canyon.

Two large, moss-covered rocks lay quietly in the grass.

If you don't look closely, you won't realize that these two stones actually represent two people.

Mo Chengyue lay on the ground, his body covered with three layers of "high-level concealment talismans".

Not only that.

He also used the "Breath Concealment Technique" to reduce his heart rate to once every half hour, and his body temperature was kept exactly the same as the surrounding rocks.

Even if a fly landed on his nose, he wouldn't realize it was a living creature.

Behind him.

Yu Jianhuan also maintained the "stone" posture, but her phoenix eyes were full of resentment.

"Junior brother."

Yu Jianhuan used her divine sense to transmit her voice, her tone carrying a mix of coquetry and complaint.

"We've already hidden ourselves in this godforsaken outskirts, is there really any need to be so tense?"

"Those groups of people who just passed by didn't even glance at us."

"You're even more timid than the rabbits I raise."

Mo Chengyue didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Senior sister."

His voice transmission was cold and rational.

"Do you know which type of person died the fastest in these ruins?"

Which one?

"People who feel very safe."

Mo Chengyue adjusted his breathing slightly, making his aura even more ethereal.

"The groups of people who just passed by didn't look at us because they were busy going to their deaths."

"We are currently in the middle of the opening of the ruins, which is also the most chaotic time."

"Great demons, evil cultivators, and hypocrites of the righteous path all come out to reap the rewards at this time."

"We just pulled off a big heist, now we're just two walking pieces of fat."

"If you don't want to be chopped up and used as dumplings, then you'd better tone down that stinky smell of the Hehuan Sect."

Yu Jianhuan rolled her eyes.

Although she complained, her body language betrayed her by shrinking closer to Mo Chengyue.

The man's back view, though it looked cowardly, inexplicably gave people a sense of security.

Just then.

Mo Chengyue's pupils suddenly contracted.

His abnormally sharp intuition suddenly gave him a frantic warning.

"Shut up!"

Hold your breath!

"Don't move, even if you die!"

Mo Chengyue growled in the telepathic communication.

Almost at the same time.

A sharp whistling sound came from the sky.

A streak of seven-colored light flashed across the canyon like a shooting star.

That's Jin Qiaoqiao.

She was cruising at high speed, her divine sense scanning every inch of the land below without restraint.

Several human Foundation Establishment cultivators were fighting along the way.

She glanced at it and immediately showed a look of disgust.

"Rubbish."

"The foundation is weak and the vital energy is mixed."

"This kind of trash isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes."

Jin Qiaoqiao did not stop and continued forward.

The canyon below flashed past her eyes.

The rocks were jagged and lifeless.

It seems to have no value whatsoever.

Mo Chengyue lay on the ground, his heart seemingly stopped beating.

He's gambling.

They were betting that the other party wouldn't even consider this desolate place.

He gambled that his "Dead Wood Turtle Breathing Technique" could deceive the opponent's divine sense.

A streak of light swept across the canyon.

There was no stopping.

Mo Chengyue breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's safe."

He silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

however.

Just as Jin Qiaoqiao was about to fly out of the canyon area...

A sudden change occurred.

The noble Peacock King blood within her body suddenly stirred without warning.

That's the apex predator's instinctive response to "unparalleled deliciousness".

A hungry shark smelled a drop of blood from thousands of miles away.

"Um?"

Jin Qiaoqiao's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The strong winds, driven by inertia, pressed the vegetation below low.

She turned around.

It floats in mid-air.

Those originally cold eyes changed instantly.

His pupils elongated, transforming into eerie, vertical golden pupils.

Innate supernatural power – Peacock King's Eye.

See through the illusions and look directly to the source.

Under the gaze of those eyes.

The rocks, vegetation, and camouflage below all disappeared.

Instead, the nature of energy is revealed.

Jin Qiaoqiao saw it.

Among those piles of rubble.

There was a ball of light.

No.

That is not light.

It was a blazing sun!

A mass of "pure yang energy" that was sealed and wrapped in layers, yet remained blazing, pure, and outrageously powerful.

The purity of that aura even surpassed that of all the human prodigies she had ever seen.

Among a pile of rotten cabbages, a ginseng that is thousands of years old was suddenly discovered.

Jin Qiaoqiao was stunned.

immediately.

A stunning look appeared on her pale, exquisitely beautiful face.

Followed by.

It was undisguised greed.

"What a magnificent horse..."

She stuck out her tongue and gently licked her chapped red lips.

"A perfect thoroughbred horse."

……

Below the canyon.

Mo Chengyue felt an unprecedented chill that shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

That feeling.

It's like when you were a kid taking a bath in a public bathhouse and suddenly a burly man stared intently at your butt.

It's not just about exposure.

It is also a sense of humiliation from being "objectified".

He subconsciously looked up.

Right above them, high in the sky, were those golden vertical pupils, filled with possessiveness and arrogance.

Eyes facing each other.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Mo Chengyue saw the meaning in those eyes.

That wasn't the look in someone's eyes.

That's the look in his eyes when he looks at a "car".

And it was the kind of look in their eyes that made you want to hop on and race around right away.

"Grass!"

Mo Chengyue cursed inwardly.

"Something's not right with this woman!"

"She didn't want to kill me."

"She wants to ride me?!"

Although I don't know where the other party comes from.

But Mo Chengyue was very clear about one thing.

The way of Gou has been broken.

"run!"

Mo Chengyue did not hesitate at all.

He sprang up from the ground and grabbed Yu Jianhuan, who was still in a daze.

"Merciful Father Number One!"

He let out a low growl.

A giant metal spider instantly flew out of the storage bag and blocked the two of them.

however.

late.

Jin Qiaoqiao in the sky wore a cold, beautiful smile.

"Since I have taken a liking to you..."

"That is my private property."

"run?"

"Did you get your owner's permission?"

Before he could finish speaking...

The colorful glow behind her suddenly exploded.

His entire being transformed into a gigantic peacock phantom, exuding an aura of overwhelming power.

Looking down at Mo Chengyue.

Dive down!
