Outside Purple Rainbow City.
Beside the lake.
Luo Xiu looked at Lin Xiyue, whose eyes were bloodshot, and suddenly regretted telling her about Lin Shanshan.
"Xi Yue, that's how it is. This is what I wanted to tell you."
Luo Xiu gently embraced Lin Xiyue's trembling delicate body, "I'm sorry... I didn't protect Shan Shan."
Lin Xiyue choked, "Is there still hope for her?"
Luo Xiu nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, she'll definitely be fine. This ti I ventured out just to save her."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Xi Yue—!"
At that mont, they heard Stunning Phoenix Immortal shout loudly from behind.
They turned to look and found that Stunning Phoenix Immortal, who had just left not long ago, was rushing back.
Lin Xiyue suddenly felt a bad premonition, "What happened?"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal was full of urgency as she ran to Lin Xiyue, grabbing her hand tightly, saying, "Jiang Wanli is here!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes darkened slightly, "Why has he co too?"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal said, "Just as I was on my way back, I received news from my subordinates... saying Jiang Wanli has co to Tri-Rainbow State, and is now on Chihua Island."
"He went to Chihua Island?" Lin Xiyue suddenly beca a bit nervous.
Stunning Phoenix Immortal nodded, her expression looking grim, "Our guild's headquarters building has already been occupied by him, and he has declared—if he doesn't see both of us within the day, he will slaughter all the employees in the building."
Then Luo Xiu spoke up, "Who exactly is this Jiang Wanli? You both seem quite afraid."
"He's not human!"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal suddenly looked at Luo Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, let tell you, he's a ten-thousand-year-old phoenix, forrly an Elder of the Eighteen Realms of the Demon Domain, who later defected and seized a realm for himself, renaming it Wutongzhou."
"On the surface, Wutongzhou maintains friendly relations with us in Stunning Phoenix Swan State, with mutual dealings, but we've only recently learned that Jiang Wanli has secretly joined Luo Hao's Three Thousand Alliance!"
Luo Xiu lightly furrowed his brow, grasping the key point in Stunning Phoenix Immortal's words, and asked, "Is he really a phoenix?"
"Indeed, he is the only pureblood phoenix in the world today!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu turned his head, looking at Lin Xiyue with a sowhat curious expression.
Lin Xiyue: "What's on your mind?"
Luo Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "I originally planned to go to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven to find a phoenix, but it turns out one has co to on its own."
Lin Xiyue and Stunning Phoenix Immortal exchanged glances, then both looked at Luo Xiu.
Lin Xiyue asked, "Why are you looking for a phoenix?"
Luo Xiu responded earnestly, "To save Shan Shan, we first need a Phoenix Inner Pill."
Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened.
The words had co to this point; she naturally understood Luo Xiu's aning.
Luo Xiu said to Stunning Phoenix Immortal, "Then quickly take there, lest he escape."
Stunning Phoenix Immortal was a bit perplexed, "Shouldn't we be the ones running?"
She added, "After all, he is a Venerable One, and with the innate divine ability of the phoenix race, he could match up against the Heavenly Emperor. Your Majesty, do you really plan to confront him?"
Luo Xiu nodded, "We're out to kill a Venerable One."
Stunning Phoenix Immortal's beautiful eyes widened, full of admiration, "Worthy is Your Majesty! So fierce!"
Luo Xiu suddenly waved, and Lao Ba flew over from the nearby woods and landed on his shoulder.
"Crown Prince, what's up with Lao Ba?"
"..."
Monts later.
A massive black bird soared into the sky with supre divine might, stirring up monstrous waves across the calm lake surface!
Both Lin Xiyue and Stunning Phoenix Immortal watched the black bird in disbelief, their almond-shaped eyes wide with wonder.
"Honey, isn't this... the previous myna?"
Lao Ba suddenly descended from the sky, landed with a boom, and nodded at Lin Xiyue, "Sis, hop on, Lao Ba will take you flying!"
Luo Xiu embraced Lin Xiyue's slender waist and jumped onto Lao Ba's back, then looked at the still-grounded Stunning Phoenix Immortal and urged, "What's keeping you? Don't you want to taste Phoenix at?"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal snapped back to reality, fearfully glanced at Lao Ba.
Even now, she felt like she was dreaming.
One day, she actually encountered the legendary Divine Beast Golden Crow.
"This Elder Jinwu, can I..."
Lao Ba impatiently flapped his wings, "Hurry up, considering your skirt is so short, I'll let you ride once!"
"Oh..."
Stunning Phoenix Immortal stuck out her little pink tongue, obediently jumped onto Lao Ba's back.
...
With full speed, Lao Ba soon brought the trio to Chihua Island.
On the endless sea, the island was large and covered with red exotic flowers, hence the na "Chihua."
Viewed from the night sky, it looked like a glowing red gemstone embedded in the sea.
Shen Luo Comrce Guild's headquarters building in Tri-Rainbow State was situated on this island!
At this very mont.
In that majestic building.
A middle-aged man in red clothing stood with hands behind his back at the window, looking up at the black bird circling in the night sky, his expression contemplative.
Suddenly, Lao Ba's fierce voice echoed through the night sky, "Why the hell are you staring? Co out for a showdown!"
"You think I give a damn about you!"
"Showdown!"
...
On Lao Ba's broad back.
Luo Xiu spoke with a peculiar expression, "After all, it's a pureblood phoenix, aren't you putting on too bold a front?"
Lao Ba chuckled, "Why worry? It's the Crown Prince who'll be doing the fighting."
He added, "Besides, I want to show off a bit in front of the ladies."
Luo Xiu frowned, "What's with the rambling?"
"Ah yes, yes, right, it's one lady, Lao Ba misspoke!"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal softly snorted, saying nothing.
Luo Xiu released his grip from Lin Xiyue's slender waist, slowly stood up, and asked, "If this island gets destroyed, will you help compensate?"
Lin Xiyue said, "It's your island, you manage it."
Luo Xiu was a bit puzzled, "How did this place beco my island?"
Stunning Phoenix Immortal playfully smiled, "Because Xi Yue bought it, she said the scenery was nice, so the headquarters building was established here."
Luo Xiu shook his head in resignation, "Of course, a wealthy lady. The scenery is indeed nice; if it gets damaged it's a pity, I'll try to be careful."
Lin Xiyue expressed so concern, "What do you plan to do next?"
Luo Xiu rubbed his chin, thought it over carefully, and said, "Such a large island, building just one structure is too extravagant, let's develop it, make a big yard."
Lin Xiyue's head was full of black lines, "I ant, how are you going to face Jiang Wanli next?"
Luo Xiu leaped, "Go down first and chat for a bit."
Lin Xiyue and Stunning Phoenix Immortal exchanged glances and then followed.
Originally, both won were very afraid of that short-tempered old phoenix.
But now, it felt more like they were here to have fun.
Stunning Phoenix Immortal laughed, "Ah, ah, having soone to rely on feels great. This ti I wonder if that old phoenix dares to be arrogant!"
But Lin Xiyue remained silent, watching Luo Xiu's figure flying ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
