The two teams cut through the great Mystic Beast Forest one behind the other in hot pursuit.
Their energy was truly spent after running for so long, and some young people with weaker cultivation even dropped out from the group.
While walking leisurely beside Family Head Qin, Qin Xuan remarked with a smile, “Have you noticed that that phoenix egg is currently moving ahead?”
With this prompt, everyone abruptly realized that that phoenix egg had strayed forward by at least several thousand feet from where they had seen it last.
Eldest Young Sir Qin lightly punched his fist into his palm in glee. “Say, do you think that phoenix egg grew legs and is purposefully avoiding us?”
Everyone: “…”
Eldest Young Sir, this joke of yours is not the least bit funny!
Yet Qin Guilu mented with a smile, “Phoenix eggs possess intelligence from birth, so what you say may be possible.”
“Squeak, squeak.” Suddenly, a small rat with sparse hairs popped out from the bushes and peered at them with its small beady eyes that were gleaming red.
“Ah, d*mn rat.” Jolting in fright, Yang Fengyan quickly shot a cluster of mystic energy at that rat with a move of her fingers.
After the faint sound of a thud.
The small rat rolled over after getting hit by the mystic energy. Afterwards, it leapt off its hind feet and slipped away in terror through the cracks in the bushes.
Qin Guilu creased his brows imperceptibly.
Simultaneously, Mu Zhilan suddenly snorted and remarked in mockery, “Can’t even kill a rat.”
Beneath her face veil, Yang Fengyan’s small face flushed bright red.
How would she know why this rat was so unusual? She had clearly released the mystic energy of a level-four mystic cultivator just now, yet… she allowed a rat to slip away!/
Mu Boming waved his hand with a smile, calling, “Zhilan, we’re going.”
“Yes, Family Head.” Mu Zhilan pursed her lips again before showing a slightly mocking smile.
Upon walking past Eldest Young Sir Qin, she also snuck him a glance.
Yet she didn’t expect that she would just so happen to meet the eldest young sir’s smiling gaze. It was great now—her maiden heart throbbed crazily as she frantically caught up to Family Head Mu ahead.
Beside her, Mu Zijun watched this happen as a sneer surfaced in his heart: Love-struck fool!
“Dad!” A shout suddenly rang out.
Upon quickly turning around, Dou Heping saw his daughter, Dou Fengchi, hurrying over from behind him.
“Fengchi.”
“Dad.” Dou Fengchi stomped her feet aggrievedly as she ran up to him. “Why have you all e?”
“It’s a long story. We’ll talk as we go.” Seeing that Mu Boming and the rest had already advanced ahead, Dou Heping quickly started running.
By this time, the ground had already turned still, and it was just as the eldest young sir had said. That abominable phoenix egg kept shifting its location up ahead. It seemed to really be deliberately avoiding everyone.
“Dad, what exactly is going on? That red light just now is?”
“A bloodfire phoenix egg has descended. At the moment, all the various powers have congregated, and those that are able have turned up! Don’t worry about the rest first. What happened to you? Weren’t you training inside the secret realm?”
“Don’t mention it, Dad!” Dou Fengchi stomped her foot in a huff. “I was forcibly transferred out! It’s all because of that woman’s tricks.”
“Which woman?”
“Who else! That crown prince consort!”
“What?” Dou Heping abruptly halted from his shock, after which he immediately started dashing forward again. “We’ll discuss this matter later.”
