Jiang Ningxian looked at the battlefield not far away.

Especially after the techniques displayed by Zhou Yunqiong.

A trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes, very clear about what kind of divine technique it was.

Lu Yuan's face was filled with confusion, and upon noticing this, she immediately began to explain: "This is the True Phoenix Skill of the Ji lineage, known alongside the True Dragon Skill in the Ziwei Immortal Realm as the two great forbidden divine techniques, a secret not passed down from the Ji lineage, difficult even for the most outstanding talents to master."

"Unless one's bloodline talent is extraordinarily strong to a certain extent, but now, even though the Ji lineage has not yet arrived, she has already mastered it."

"Zhou Yunqiong must be connected to some significant person and highly valued by them, which is why this was passed down to her."

Regarding the Ji lineage, Jiang Ningxian knew much, so she was able to immediately conclude.

The True Phoenix and True Dragon Skills were both passed down from the era of Emperor Xuan Yuan.

Very important, which is why she was so surprised.

"If it wasn't because Zhou Yunqiong was highly regarded."

"She wouldn't have grown to the Venerable King Realm in such a short time."

Lu Yuan responded, already having anticipated this, so he wasn't too shocked.

This world is indeed recovering, possessing excellent conditions for cultivation and evolution, but becoming powerful still takes time.

Just like me, how many divine artifacts have I integrated, how many fortuitous encounters have I mastered, to reach the Venerable King Realm? Yet Zhou Yunqiong, being at the same realm, couldn't possibly have achieved it without help.

"That's true." Jiang Ningxian nodded, completely agreeing with this statement.

"Let's go, the Golden-winged Roc and others are at a disadvantage."

At this moment, Lu Yuan spoke again.

The aura on his body gradually began to release.

Just as previously mentioned, now is the time to resolve the matters between both sides.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhou Yunqiong was entirely enveloped by the shadow of the True Phoenix.

Her combat power seemed enhanced, with each move bringing a fierce gale.

Around her, lights surged, transforming into Phoenix True Feathers, like swords of slaughter, continuously shooting out.

The Four Great Beast Kings were indeed very strong; outside, they were practically invincible except against Extraterritorial Creatures. But facing Zhou Yunqiong, not only could they not suppress her, especially after she revealed her true strength, they found themselves at a disadvantage.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~

The swords of slaughter transformed from Phoenix True Feathers.

Directly enveloped the surrounding world.

The weakest, the Golden-winged Roc, couldn't withstand it and kept retreating.

Several wounds were pierced on its body, but fortunately, its bloodline was strong enough.

Along with its naturally formidable physique, it could withstand this degree of injury.

But Zhou Yunqiong?

She still did not stop, as if it had just begun.

The Peacock King, Spiritual Monkey, Nine-tailed Fox King, and others were under heavy pressure.

The opponent was striking harder, and in the end, Zhou Yunqiong gathered all the True Feathers together.

A powerful and terrifying aura burst from her, her momentum surpassing that of before by far.

If this strike were delivered, outside, it could definitely destroy a small mountain range.

The Four Great Beast Kings were alarmed and immediately united, displaying their respective techniques,

knowing it would be difficult to resist.

But the opponent wanting to kill them was not so simple.

"Still not retreating?"

Seeing this, Zhou Yunqiong furrowed her brows.

She had already shown mercy, yet did not expect the Four Beast Kings to remain obstinate.

Knowing that in this situation, she had to give them some bitter lessons.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yunqiong took a step in the air, then drew upon even stronger power within.

Boom~

Waves of light spread from her body.

She looked like a celestial maiden descended from the Celestial Realm.

Her entire being radiated brilliant splendor, gathering all the Phoenix True Feathers into an extraordinary sword of slaughter, filled with killing intent, then mercilessly slashed down.

This strike was aimed at severely injuring the Four Great Beast Kings.

The Golden-winged Roc and others sensed the crisis.

Each was startled.

But quickly.

A stronger aura suddenly descended.

Lu Yuan arrived in front of the Four Great Beast Kings, extending his right hand.

Directly blocking the True Phoenix Killing Sword.

Then, exerting force with his five fingers.

Boom~

Powerful waves of energy resonated, fiercely oscillating.

If this were not within the Kunlun Mountain Secret Realm, even just the aftermath could cause great destruction.

Yet Lu Yuan stood there, unmoving, then once again beckoned, causing the map of Kyushu to fall into his hands.

"Lu Yuan?" Opposite, Zhou Yunqiong was having a hard time, retreating repeatedly, showing anger on her face.

But upon seeing him, she couldn't help but feel unexpected, yet soon regained composure and said, "Lu Yuan, taking advantage of the chaos to claim the map is not like your style."

She had anticipated Lu Yuan's arrival but didn't expect it so soon. Seeing the map seized, she couldn't help but show discontent.

"You once said, since ancient times, opportunities and fortunes belong to those with strength."

Holding the map of Kyushu, with a calm expression: "If you're unsatisfied, you're welcome to take it by force."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunqiong slightly furrowed her brows.

Butler Zuo and others also hurried over, ready for a formidable challenge.

Lu Yuan's reputation was formidable.

He could slay saints.

If Miss engaged him, it was likely to end badly.

"Now that King Lu is here, why are you not as fierce as earlier?"

The Nine-tailed Fox King stepped forward and said: "King Lu, we clearly discovered this map first; she suddenly attacked, and there's no need to reason with her."

The Beast Kings, including the Golden-winged Roc, did not understand the relationship between Zhou Yunqiong and Lu Yuan.

They believed she might be an Outer Realm Creature, leading to the Nine-tailed Fox King directly reporting the grievance.

This only heightened Zhou Yunqiong's discontent.

But she knew clearly.

With Lu Yuan here, she couldn't gain any advantage.

As things stood, tensions would surely further escalate between both sides.

She could assess the situation, knowing when to retreat, so she immediately smiled and looked at Lu Yuan: "You should know, even with the little time I've had, I'm capable of severely injuring or killing them, and the reason I hold back is because of you."

First, calming the tense atmosphere between both sides, then trying to mend the relationship.

Zhou Yunqiong believed that to resolve the previous enmity between the two,

it wouldn't be possible in one or two times.

However.

She had enough patience.

"I know."

Lu Yuan replied in a calm voice: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have held back in that previous strike."

Fighting fiercely for fortune and opportunity is actually quite normal.

But the Four Great Beast Kings are ultimately his own.

He couldn't let anything happen to them.

If he couldn't even ensure this, it would truly be cold and ruthless.

These words caused Zhou Yunqiong's expression to subtly change, fully understanding.

Lu Yuan had not taken the past relationship between them into account.

Knowing that his view of her

was entirely different from before.

This made her furrow her brows narrower, finding it hard to adapt to such feelings, but Zhou Yunqiong was fundamentally not an impulsive person and wouldn't be easily swayed by emotions, especially after seeing Jiang Ningxian in the distance, realizing she couldn't stay here any longer.

"In that case, I'll leave for now, and we'll meet another day."

Zhou Yunqiong spoke, understanding that mending relations with Lu Yuan would be challenging.

At least, it couldn't be achieved in a short time.

It was better to take things slowly.

After all.

This person was important for her future opportunities and fortunes.

But just at that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke again: "Wait."
