Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Zhao Lie's expression shifted from arrogance to shock, then to disbelief.

Both were Golden Core Stage, and he himself was Golden Core Perfection; logically, in the entire Tianyuan Realm, among those of the same realm, he almost had no opponent, so how could he be frightened by the other's gaze?

Not only him, but everyone who witnessed this shared the same thought.

This was Zhao Lie.

Golden Core Perfection, special physique, Dragon-Tiger Power.

Yet he couldn't even withstand a gaze from the "Crow Venerable."

Among everyone, only Xu Zhangqing knew best in his heart.

Zhu Rong was his Fire Spirit Root Avatar, all fire attribute techniques and spells were at Full Level, and he possessed the divine ability "Ten Thousand Insects Mother Nest."

Although Zhao Lie's Dragon-Tiger Power was fierce, "Fire Restricts Metal," so his spiritual root was restrained.

Plus Zhu Rong's technique was flawless; that glance seemed plain but was actually an attack from the source of the Fire Spirit Root, therefore stronger than spells, even terrifying.

Zhao Lie took a deep breath, trying to forcefully break through this inexplicable suppression, but as soon as his mana began to circulate, he felt his chest tighten, as if an invisible fire was burning on his body, and the Dragon-Tiger Phantom faded somewhat.

Moreover, his own Metal Spirit Root, as if encountering a natural enemy, actually became "listless," and with it, the Dragon-Tiger Power grew increasingly weak.

As for the black tiger beside him, it was even worse, burying its head in its front paws, not daring to look at Zhu Rong even once.

Zhu Rong finally spoke, his voice still indifferent: "This is not a threat, nor a warning, but a statement of fact.

As for the others of the Wan Family, your Longhu Immortal Sect can do as you please, but Wan Niang and these two ships absolutely cannot be touched again."

Zhao Lie gritted his teeth wanting to retort, but just as he opened his mouth, he felt his throat tighten.

For the first time before a cultivator of the same stage, he couldn't utter a single harsh word.

The Suppress Evil Talisman on the Xuan Iron Scale Armor dimmed, the Dragon-Tiger Phantom grew fainter, and the momentum of "Man and Tiger as One Threat" was actually suppressed by Zhu Rong's gaze until it nearly scattered.

The whole world was left with only the flapping of the Fire Crow's wings, the black tiger's whimpers, and Zhao Lie's heavy breathing.

Su Jinli, Yu Shi, Lu Wu, Spirit Rong Night, Zhao Ziyue, and several Golden Core Stage cultivators within Broken Moon Flowing Frost only felt their scalps go numb.

Both were Golden Core Stage, why was the gap so great?

Zhao Lie's strength, though not enough to crush them, if they really fought, they would definitely suffer, even with heavy casualties.

Yet such a powerful fellow, meeting the so-called "Crow Venerable Second Generation," stubbornly didn't even have the courage to attack—this was too unbelievable.

But if speaking of the most shocked person, none surpassed Wan Niang and the many cultivators on the two ships.

This scene made them feel that Zhu Rong's oppressive feeling was even greater than when they had previously encountered Wan Fu Zhenjun.

Especially Wan Niang, who became even more certain of her choice this time, thinking to herself: "I must bind Zhu Rong and myself together; I don't know if he is married?"

Seeing Zhao Lie had no intention of attacking, Zhu Rong waved his hand: "Let's go."

Xu Zhangqing transmitted with displeasure: "You leave, who does this Phoenix Feather go to?"

Zhu Rong was speechless for a moment, but since the words were spoken, if he suddenly regretted it, he felt the imposing manner he had just created would fall to the ground in an instant.

Xu Zhangqing helplessly flew over while smiling: "Sir, please wait; I have something here you might be interested in."

Zhu Rong made an "oh" sound, then showed a curious look.

Wan Niang immediately had the cultivators on the two ships stop their actions, wait a moment before speaking.

As the distance closed, Xu Zhangqing took out the Phoenix Feather: "This is a rare fire attribute spirit plant, named Phoenix Feather because it greatly resembles phoenix feathers.

It just so happens to improve the Fire Crow's grade and Dao Xing; to express my gratitude, I am willing to give this item to you."

Those behind saw this, especially Hu Bugui, whose eyes brightened: "It has to be Old Xu; this way we not only won't offend this Second Generation Crow Venerable, but can even gain the Wan Family's favor."

Although the Wan Family lost face this time and even lost a Nascent Soul Zhenjun, no matter what, they were still the first power in the "No-Management Area," this is beyond doubt.

In Hu Bugui and others' view, Xu Zhangqing doing this could both make friends with the Crow Venerable and harvest the Wan Family's—or rather Wan Niang's—goodwill.

Although losing a rare spirit plant, they gained greater benefits.

Thus, in the future within the "No-Management Area," things would be much easier.

Su Jinli looked to the other side at Zhao Lie, who remained silent and had been breathing heavily.

Although Xu Zhangqing doing this was indeed the most correct choice at present, making friends with the Crow Venerable's Second Generation was equivalent to offending Zhao Lie.

If this person was even slightly narrow-minded, trouble might arise later.

Therefore she had already prepared to turn hostile at any time, even to fight.

On this side, Xu Zhangqing was still "feigning affection" with Zhu Rong, the two chatting in a pretentious manner.

"This is indeed a good thing; are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Of course."

"If so, Wan Niang!"

"Zhu Langjun, the servant knows!"

It could be seen that Zhu Rong was deeply respected by everyone in the Wan Family, and even from Wan Niang's amorous eyes one could see undisguised affection.

Therefore just a greeting, without clearly expressing anything.

Wan Niang immediately issued an invitation, smiling and asking: "Everyone, this place is too dangerous; this route happens to match ours, why don't we go together?"

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "With the Wan Family escorting, that would be perfect."

He of course knew doing this would offend Zhao Lie, but he didn't care at all in his heart.

Not to mention his own strength was not weaker than the other's, the key was the Fire Spirit Root Avatar was right here; with him present, the other couldn't act wantonly.

Now it could be considered successfully giving away the Phoenix Feather.

Although there was only one, it would allow Zhu Rong to draw on the Wan Family's resources to continue searching for similar Rare Spirit Plants, aiding the Fire Crow's further evolution.

However, Xu Zhangqing did not have Su Jinli and the others come over; instead, he returned by the same route and soon came straight to Zhao Lie's front, saluting: "By seniority, I must call you Senior Brother Zhao!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lie said nothing, merely watching him with an indifferent gaze.

Xu Zhangqing smiled, then said: "You also saw that we few are not Calamity Cultivators; all this was a misunderstanding. I wonder if this misunderstanding can just be let go?"

Actually, when Zhao Lie discovered these people were not Calamity Cultivators but Disciples of the Dongting Immortal Sect, he had already abandoned any intention of striking.

If not for that so-called Second-Generation Crow Venerable appearing in the distance, he would have left long ago.

Anyway, he bore no grudge against Xu Zhangqing and the others, and there was no need to vent his anger on unrelated personnel, so he kicked the black tiger at the side, immediately mounted it, then without even a Greeting, directly rode away.

"He's leaving just like that?"

"I underestimated this man's breadth of mind!"

"Now, we of Cang Men should hurry and leave this place of trouble!"

Seeing Zhao Lie neither turn hostile nor strike, Su Jinli and the others were greatly surprised.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing took charge of Broken Moon Flowing Frost and flew toward the Wan Family's great ship!
