In the back garden of the Yuan Family.
An Susu looked puzzled.
"Miaoxi, has anything strange happened to your master recently?"
The young girl shook her head.
"Auntie, what should we do now? Based on the situation of the family head before, will he regret using the body of that witch as the host for the potion?"
An Susu had a meaningful expression.
"The deed is done. How could he go back on it?"
Miaoxi didn't understand what her aunt meant.
An Susu added, "I'll leave first. You can start using the Divine Charm Incense I gave you before."
"Okay. Auntie, let me see you off."
An Susu shook her head, and her figure disappeared in an instant.
The cry of the Chongming Bird pierced the sky.
Miaoxi thought about what her aunt had said, then went back and lit the Divine Charm Incense. Before long, dark clouds began to gather over the Yuan Family.
The sky darkened.
Along with the darkening sky came the mournful cries of some of the clan - guarding beasts.
In the stone chamber, Yuan Xin was trying every means to take the potion out of Jun Xin's body. But at this moment, her body seemed to be summoned by something and floated into the air.
"How is this possible?"
"No way."
"It's not tomorrow yet. It's not time."
Yuan Xin quickly got up and tried to use her spiritual power to pull Jun Xin's body back.
But her body suddenly disappeared from the stone chamber.
"No!"
Yuan Xin paused for a moment, then immediately appeared above the pond in the back garden.
Jun Xin's body was now floating in mid - air, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
What was it? What had caused this formation to start prematurely?
Before long, in some of the prominent families in Shengjing City that had clan - guarding beasts, those beasts all began to lose control.
They wanted to follow the scent and rush towards the Yuan Family.
The body of the Seven - Realm Spiritual Pharmacist filled with the potion was surely an object that many beasts would fight over and devour.
Yuan Xin leaped into the air.
She set up a protective shield around Jun Xin's body.
At this time, in Shengjing City, those beasts had already started to panic and were running amok in the streets.
Because the scent suddenly disappeared, they were on the verge of a riot.
As a result, the pedestrians on the streets were naturally attacked by the beasts. Screams, cries of fear, and pleas for help immediately rang out throughout Shengjing City.
Those large families with spiritual pharmacists guarding them were in a better situation. The beasts couldn't harm them.
So at this time, the common people all ran towards the yards of those large families.
The Yuan Family was no exception.
The beasts were running wild, blood flowed like a river. Many houses were completely destroyed by some of the beasts, and some trees were burning with a hissing sound and fell on the streets.
"Quick!"
"Let's go to the Yuan Family!"
"The spiritual pharmacists of the Yuan Family are very powerful, and with the family head of the Yuan Family guarding, there must be no problem."
A large number of people suddenly flooded into the yard of the Yuan Family.
However, Yuan Xin had set up a prohibition in the back garden, so those people couldn't enter.
But in the front yard, Miaoxi and other spiritual pharmacists were guarding, so the beasts naturally couldn't get in.
"What's going on?"
"Who on earth has used the forbidden technique?"
"The beast of the Zhang Family was the most docile before. Today it has already injured four or five pedestrians."
"Right. These clan - guarding beasts have all signed contracts. Usually they never hurt people. This time, we don't know what's going on. They've become so terrifying."
Yuan Xin managed to stabilize Jun Xin's body in mid - air.
By this time, Shengjing City was in ruins. The beasts were running amok and acting recklessly.
They were scurrying around in the streets of Shengjing City.
Yuan Xin was sharp - eyed and suddenly noticed some ashes on the fake rock in the pond of the back garden. She picked up the ashes and smelled them carefully.
Her eyes suddenly became extremely dangerous.
It was the Divine Charm Incense.
This kind of fragrance couldn't be smelled by humans, but it could attract beasts and also promote the transformation between the potion and the host, making its scent evolve into the fragrance that could attract divine beasts earlier.
Only Miaoxi and she knew about this.
So, was this Miaoxi's doing?
Yuan Xin in mid - air looked at Miaoxi in the front yard. Sensing Yuan Xin's gaze, Miaoxi felt guilty and quickly turned her head.
At this moment, Yuan Xin was basically sure that this was what Miaoxi had done.
After learning that Jun Xin was her own daughter, how could Yuan Xin still use her body for sacrifice? She regretted it. So after Miaoxi and An Susu left, she had planned to separate the potion from Jun Xin's body.
But as soon as she started, the riot of the beasts happened.
Shengjing City, once a prosperous city, had now become a world for the beasts.
Those beasts had no rules and were running around randomly.
"Family head Yuan, you are the master of Shengjing City. You must find a way out for the people of our Shengjing!"
"Now that there are strange phenomena from the sky, we don't know what to do."
"Family head Yuan, our Xiao Family has always served your Yuan Family. Now our houses have been destroyed. We hope you can make the decision for us."
Yuan Xin was distracted.
The protective shield around Jun Xin's body became a bit unstable.
A wisp of the special scent leaked out quietly.
The beasts that smelled the special scent all stopped at the same time, and then rushed towards the Yuan Family.
Yuan Xin quickly realized the danger.
She quickly mobilized all her spiritual power to defend against the approaching beasts.
If those beasts gathered in a group and rushed over, the people in the places they passed would have no chance of survival.
At this time, a phoenix cry.
It resounded through heaven and earth.
All the running beasts stopped.
After that, they didn't dare to move forward anymore.
"The cry of a phoenix? The king of all birds, the phoenix? How is this possible?"
After the phoenix cry appeared, fear showed in the eyes of those beasts. Then, they began to retreat and ran back in the direction they came from.
After all the beasts disappeared from Shengjing City, a huge fiery - red bird soared above the city. A huge column of flame shot up into the sky, and a loud phoenix cry erupted.
Its gorgeous fiery - red tail feathers dragged on the ground. Its nearly perfect body showed the majesty of the king of birds.
The phoenix! It was really the divine beast phoenix!
This kind of divine beast that was rarely seen in a hundred years had actually appeared on the scene.
It was said that the divine beast phoenix was the contracted divine beast of Ye Ling, the former empress.
Now that it had returned, was it here for revenge or for something else?
At this time, Yuan Xin's eyes were filled with the gorgeous fiery - red figure of the phoenix.
Its wings could block out the sky and the sun, and could also stir up strong winds.
The divine beast could change its size and form according to its own will and the will of its master.
Now, the phoenix was so huge that it basically covered half of the sky of Shengjing City.
"Yuan Xin, we meet again—"
A deep voice came from the sky. Every tone was filled with hatred for the Yuan Family.
