Chapter 123

The icy feeling kept coming from his neck, making Junior Brother Wang break out in a cold sweat, while Chen Mu nodded and said.

Since you, Junior Brother, also feel you deserve death, then Shī xiōng will send you on your way.

Speaking, he raised his arm; seeing this, Junior Brother Wang went numb.

Shī xiōng, wait a moment, let me explain.

What else is there to explain?

I... I... I really didn't mean to.

What does it have to do with me?

We are fellow disciples of the same sect.

Junior Brother, take care on your journey.

Harming fellow disciples is a capital crime.

I willingly accept punishment.

The long sword had already been swung down, a cold light flashed; at this moment, Junior Brother Wang only felt a chill, and at the critical moment he instinctively shouted.

Ye Zhangqing's bowl of rice—this should be enough, right?

The sword tip was only 0.001 millimeter from Junior Brother Wang, but it finally stopped; seeing this, Junior Brother Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Really?

Phew, absolutely certain.

Seeing Junior Brother Wang nod heavily, Chen Mu's face instantly broke into a smile, completely different from before, and he amiably patted Junior Brother Wang's shoulder.

Since you, Junior Brother, sincerely admit your mistake, then Shī xiōng won't say anything more, after all we are fellow disciples of the same sect.

Hearing this, Junior Brother Wang's mouth twitched, he gave a hollow laugh, and the cold sweat on his forehead had not yet subsided.

Thank you, Shī xiōng, for your magnanimity.

No problem, just remember to send over that bowl of rice.

Sure, sure.

The onlookers all felt their eyelids jump, wondering how this could even happen.

A Jade Maiden Peak disciple put on a facade of disdain.

His heart is really dirty.

Although he said that with his mouth, in his heart the Jade Maiden Peak disciple thought, 'No wonder they get to eat rice; look, that's the difference.'

As for the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ, their thoughts were deeper; like Xu Jie and others, a gleam of insight flashed in their eyes, as if they had discovered a new continent.

His mind raced; this tactic was feasible, needing only a little planning, and it was very promising.

For a moment, the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ began sizing up their fellow senior and junior brothers, their eyes full of wise light, and in their hearts they had already planned out the whole process.

Fine, fine, not bad.

Alright, stop the fuss—what do we do with these two beasts?

At this moment Zhao Zhengping spoke up, also feeling envy and jealousy, so he simply changed the subject.

But right now, nobody has the mood to deal with these two beasts; having finally discovered a new tactic, everyone eagerly wanted to go back and study it thoroughly, and Xu Jie even spoke up.

Why bother with them? Anyway, we can't break this Formation.

Not to mention two great demons of the Heavenly Demon Realm; even if the Demon King came, he couldn't break the great formation of the Jinhai Yingdi.

Rather than waste time here, it'd be better to head back early.

That's right, then let's go.

Let's go, let's go, ignore them, we're heading back.

Hearing this, the disciples turned to leave, but the Azure Feather Phoenix outside the Formation, seeing this, angrily shouted.

Vile humans, if you have the guts, come out—you dare to steal, but don't you dare fight us head-on?

In response, Xu Jie turned his head, gave the Azure Feather Phoenix a disdainful look, and sneered.

Idiot, if you have the ability, come in.

The two Heavenly Demon Realm great demons actually still want us to go out—do you think we're stupid?

No one paid any more attention to the two Azure Feather Phoenixes.

Among the crowd, Ye Zhangqing also took a deep look at the two Azure Feather Phoenixes; just now a famous dish flashed in his mind—Dragon Phoenix Soup.

Now that we have the flood dragon, if we could get those two Azure Feather Phoenixes, we could stew a pot of Dragon Phoenix Soup.

This is a top-tier ingredient—not only in taste, but its effects are extraordinarily heaven-defying, able to greatly aid cultivators in their Xiūliàn.

It can be said that, up to now, this is the highest-grade dish Ye Zhangqing has mastered.

It's a pity, but capturing those two Azure Feather Phoenixes is still difficult, after all they are in the Heavenly Demon Realm; their cultivation already surpasses Zhao Zhengping and the other Inner Disciples, comparable to a great cultivator of the Heavenly Human Realm.

It's a pity, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but murmur softly.

Alas, what a pity—otherwise I would really like to taste the flavor of Dragon Phoenix Soup.

Huh???

Walking beside Ye Zhangqing were Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, Lu Youyou, Wang Yao, and a few others who all heard this.

For a moment, Xu Jie, who had previously shown contempt, instantly drew his sword, turned without hesitation toward the Azure Feather Phoenix still roaring outside the Formation, and spoke in a cold, stern tone.

Bold beast, dare to attack the Jinhai Yingdi—do you really think my Dao Yi Sect has no one? Watch me slay you.

Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, Wang Yao and the others were the same, each filled with killing intent, their eyes flashing red like when they first saw the water tribe.

Fellow junior brothers, follow me out and slaughter these two evil beasts.

Kill.

Junior Brother Changqing, don't worry, the ingredients for this dragon‑phoenix soup—I'll get them for you right away.

Originally they hadn't planned to bother with these two azure‑feathered phoenixes, but in an instant, all the disciples who had already turned around turned back and rushed out of the Formation.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with them?"

The Jade Maiden Peak disciples were momentarily dazed, but that senior sister heard Ye Zhangqing's words, her eyes locked onto the azure-feathered phoenixes, she said.

"Ye Zhangqing seemed to say these two azure-feathered phoenixes are top-grade ingredients; with the flood dragon in hand, if we also get these two phoenixes we could make dragon-phoenix soup, a high-end delicacy."

They blushed, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples' eyes glowed red; the women who had been bewildered now felt these two azure-feathered phoenixes deserved to die!

Swish, swish, swish—another round of swords being drawn, and then only that Jade Maiden Peak senior sister's shout was heard.

Junior sisters, the thirty-six peaks of the Dao Yi Sect share one lineage; since the Divine Sword Peak senior brother intends to slay demons and defend the world, our Jade Maiden Peak has no reason not to help—follow me out to slaughter these two beasts.

The senior sister is right; our Jade Maiden Peak will surely pitch in.

Kill.

For a moment, the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples rushed out of the Formation to kill, leaving only Ye Zhangqing and Xiao Bai behind.

Seeing the situation change drastically, the disciples who had already rushed out of the Formation, Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded; coming to his senses, he wished he could slap himself.

"Damn it, you're being mouthy again, aren't you? You couldn't hold back last time, and now you can't hold back again?"

Ye Zhangqing swore he hadn't thought much, just sighing idly; he really had no designs on those two azure-feathered phoenixes.

But who knew, the senior brothers and sisters rushed out again—this really has nothing to do with me.

All that could be seen was a dark crowd surging out of the Formation toward those two azure-feathered phoenixes.

At this moment, those two azure-feathered phoenixes were even more dazed than Ye Zhangqing; just moments ago they seemed unwilling to engage, so why are they now rushing out?

Moreover.......... facing those pairs of eyes glowing red, even though the two azure-feathered phoenixes were great demons of the Heavenly Demon realm, they now felt a bit uneasy; these humans' gazes were off.

"What should we do, fight?"

"Or we could retreat? After all, it's not wise to offend the Dao Yi Sect."

A thought of retreat rose in their hearts, but before they could act, Zhao Zhengping's loud shout came from below.

"Quick, quick, quick—first block the retreat, don't let the ingredients escape."
