Chapter 123: If You Dare to Make a Move, Canglan Mountain Shall Be Your Burial Ground!

"Big Brother, look quickly! It really is a pure-blooded Flash Thunder Bird; I never expected our luck to be this good!"

The eight people from the Great Qi Imperial Family flew very rapidly, and soon arrived near Luo Shuiyan and the others.

Among them, a young woman pointed at the Flash Thunder Bird and said loudly.

Although this woman had an outstanding appearance, her personality was extremely arrogant.

She completely ignored Luo Shuiyan and the others beside the Flash Thunder Bird, as if she treated them like air.

The men in the accompanying group were also exceptionally overbearing.

The gazes the few of them cast toward the four, Luo Shuiyan included, were filled with contempt.

They displayed that kind of imperial nobility's arrogance to the fullest at this moment.

Especially when the group saw Yi Zimeng's palm gently stroking the feathers of the Flash Thunder Bird.

And that naturally irritable and bellicose Flash Thunder Bird actually showed no resistance, no dissatisfaction, and even its eyes were very gentle.

This caused the expressions of these few people from the Great Qi Imperial Family to all change.

One must know that in their eyes, the Flash Thunder Bird was the symbol of the Qi Kingdom and the status symbol of the Great Qi Imperial Family.

How could it be contracted by other people? That was simply disrespectful to the Great Qi Imperial Family.

The group quickly approached Luo Shuiyan's side, each of them looking unkind.

"You few, we are preparing to contract this Spirit Beast; if you have nothing else to do, please take a detour and leave!"

Lin Xue'er stepped forward and said in a solemn, deep voice.

The purpose of these people from the Great Qi Imperial Family could not be more obvious, so Lin Xue'er and the others did not give them any pleasant looks.

"Presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to?!"

"We are the imperial clan of Da Qi; you few have interfered with our contracting of the Flash Thunder Bird—hurry up and clear the way for me!"

Among the Great Qi Imperial Family, the leading youth angrily rebuked them with an extremely arrogant expression.

Clearly, she did not take these four, Luo Shuiyan included, seriously at all.

"It is often said that the Qi Kingdom is a land of a hundred battles and the first line of defense for the Human Race against the Demon Race."

"Seeing it today, I never expected the people of the Imperial Family to be so arrogant and rude; it truly tarnishes the reputation of the Da Qi Kingdom!"

Luo Shuiyan glanced at the few people before her with disdain and said coldly.

Seeing that Luo Shuiyan recognized them and even spoke words of praise, a flash of smugness appeared on the faces of these people from the Great Qi Imperial Family.

But they did not expect that the second half of Luo Shuiyan's sentence would take a turn, becoming filled with mockery; the expressions of these people instantly turned ugly.

"Brother! She actually dares to slander our Imperial Family! Shouldn't we teach her a lesson?"

The shrewish woman who spoke first pointed at Luo Shuiyan, her expression gloomy as she spoke.

A woman's jealousy is very terrifying; this shrewish woman could be considered to have an outstanding appearance within the Great Qi Imperial Family.

But in front of the four, Luo Shuiyan included, she looked much inferior.

"Do these fellows have something wrong with their brains? Where on earth do they get the courage to be so arrogant? They truly don't know how to cherish their lives!"

The self-righteous arrogance of these people from the Great Qi Imperial Family caused Jiang Che's expression to turn cold, and the formidable aura on his body was instantly released.

Even when beating a dog, one must look at its master; how could his personal 'maid' be insulted by these fellows?

At this moment, the formidable aura on Jiang Che's body shocked all eight people from Da Qi, and their expressions all changed.

"I never expected that Spirit Beast, which looks small and thin, to already be at the Six-Stage Peak?!"

For a moment, everyone from the Great Qi Imperial Family revealed looks of apprehension, and their tone became much milder than before.

"You few, I am truly sorry; as the world knows, the Flash Thunder Bird is the symbol of our Qi Kingdom and the unique bloodline of our Great Qi Imperial Family..."

The leading youth took a deep breath and said in a calm tone.

"That is not necessarily true; isn't your Da Qi's Flash Thunder Divine Bird also brought over from the Canglan Mountain Range?"

"It is just that your Great Qi Imperial Family has cultivated quite a few because of the Flash Thunder Bird's power."

"But that does not mean the Flash Thunder Bird is exclusive to your Great Qi Imperial Family."

"Furthermore, in all things, one must speak of first come, first served."

Luo Shuiyan was neither humble nor pushy, and said with a calm expression.

A hint of firmness was revealed in her eyes.

Since this Flash Thunder Bird had been taken a fancy to by Yi Zimeng and the two sides had already established a rapport.

Then it was naturally impossible to give up just because the other party had the status of the Great Qi Imperial Family.

For mere juniors of the Great Qi Imperial Family to want them to step back was simply wishful thinking. "Fine, since that is the case, then just name your price; what exactly will it take for you to yield this Flash Thunder Bird?"

The leading youth felt a flash of displeasure upon hearing Luo Shuiyan's words, but after glancing at Jiang Che, he still frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Heh, what a joke; for a Flash Thunder Bird, what price could buy it?"

"Furthermore, if we were to name a price, could you afford it?"

Hu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of anger upon hearing these words from the Great Qi Imperial Family, and immediately retorted.

As the daughter of the Xiaotian Sect, even she had to be reasonable when traveling abroad.

She never expected that these mere juniors of the Great Qi Imperial Family would dare to be so arrogant.

Moreover, even if it came to comparing family wealth, her Xiaotian Sect was not afraid of any Great Qi Imperial Family.

"Big Brother, I see that these few fellows are stubborn and will not easily yield!"

"There are so many of us; even if that Spirit Beast... has some extraordinary strength, we can just swarm them and snatch it directly."

"Could it be that the four of them, mere nobodies, could be a match for the eight of us from the Great Qi Imperial Family?!"

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, the shrewish woman was immediately incensed and spoke coldly.

Hearing this, the leading youth and the few people around him all revealed looks of hesitation for a moment.

Their main mission for entering the Canglan Mountain Range this time was this Flash Thunder Bird.

To expect these people to give up easily is absolutely impossible.

Hearing the words of this unruly woman, a flash of killing intent crossed Jiang Che's eyes.

"These fellows, I think they are truly looking for death!"

Jiang Che muttered softly.

That woman's repeated arrogance had already made Jiang Che somewhat annoyed.

"Wait, Xiaobai, don't be hasty."

Sensing Jiang Che's anger, Luo Shuiyan hurriedly persuaded him in a low voice.

"Lv Peng, I still advise you all best not to act rashly."

"If you really want to harbor other intentions, then I'm sorry, but this Canglan Mountain will be your burial ground!"

Luo Shuiyan looked at the group and smiled contemptuously, her tone extremely confident.

"Hm? This person actually recognized me? Not simple..."

"And that confidence in her bones is simply not something faked..."

Although there was no killing intent in Luo Shuiyan's eyes, the smile at the corner of her mouth made Lv Peng even more wary.

"Let's go!"

Lv Peng cast a wary glance at the group, then immediately led the people behind him away from here.

The confidence in Luo Shuiyan's speech made Lv Peng afraid to gamble.

"Sister Shui Yan, we could have clearly dealt with them all just now, why let them go?"

Hu Xiaoxiao asked, feeling somewhat depressed.

The Great Qi Imperial Family just now, especially that unruly woman, had truly made Hu Xiaoxiao quite angry.

"The Great Qi Empire is an important fighting force in resisting the Demon Race, and this Lv Peng is currently the strongest genius of Great Qi."

"If we were to slay him here, it would very likely cause turmoil in Great Qi, or even lead to war between the two nations."

"At that time, it would be very possible for the covetous Demon Race to take advantage of the situation, which is disadvantageous to the Human Race."

Luo Shuiyan explained patiently.

As the Empress, Luo Shuiyan's temperament was long past that of an eighteen-year-old girl.

She was steady in her conduct and cared for the common people of the world.

What Luo Shuiyan cared about more was the future great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race.

And Luo Shuiyan had also successfully influenced Lin Xue'er and the others; everyone understood Luo Shuiyan's heart for the world.

Having just avenged her great grudge, Yi Zimeng now had a new goal in her heart upon hearing Luo Shuiyan's words.

In her view, following Luo Shuiyan would surely lead to great achievements in the future, and perhaps even leave a name in the history of the Human Race! Immediately, Yi Zimeng successfully signed a contract with that Lightning Bird, gaining her second Spirit Beast.

"Your whole body is covered in golden lightning, so I'll call you Xiaoshan."
