Previously, because he didn't know that Jun Xin was his daughter and accidentally killed her, Yuan Xin already felt extremely guilty.
Now, he couldn't even keep Jun Xin's body.
He watched helplessly as her body completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Yuan Xin was enraged.
In his entire life, there were only two things he truly cared about. The first was An Susu, and the second was Jun Lanran of the Qingyun Kingdom.
Now, his daughter had also died at his hands.
And An Susu had never reciprocated his affection.
"You dare to hurt my daughter!"
"It's just a vessel."
Yuan Xin's eyes were blood - red, and the veins on his face bulged.
He looked at the shrunken Wolf King beside him. For the first time, there was a crazy obsession in his eyes. At this moment, Yuan Xin's face was only filled with panic and bloodlust.
The Wolf King was Yuan Xin's contracted beast, and they were in tune with each other's minds. So it knew his master's true thoughts at this moment.
It didn't hesitate much.
At Yuan Xin's signal, the Wolf King transformed in an instant. It sacrificed itself to the heavens and turned into a sharp sword.
The Wolf King's shrill scream ended as its body completely turned into a sword.
"Sacrificing your own contracted beast just to obtain me for that woman An Susu. Yuan Xin, you are really cold - hearted. You only gave your true heart to An Susu."
Yuan Xin opened his eyes slightly.
"Phoenix, you destroyed my daughter's body. Now, even if I can't offer you to Susu, I will make you die under my sword."
The Phoenix held its breath and concentrated.
It was originally male. In the early years, because of its gorgeous feathers and charming appearance, many male divine beasts in the beast world had shown their affection to it.
However, the Phoenix was a real male divine beast.
So its skills combined hardness and softness, far superior to those of other divine beasts.
The Wolf King was originally of a masculine nature. Now that it had transformed into a sword and sacrificed itself to the heavens, such a great sacrifice was something the Phoenix hadn't anticipated. But so what?
Even if this sword could pierce its body, in this battle, it must make the Yuan family pay the price.
Yuan Xin leaped forward. In an instant, his body transformed into a hundred different forms. Then, his body split into a hundred, surrounding the Phoenix. All of these hundred bodies were his real bodies, and each move carried ten percent of Yuan Xin's original strength.
"You ignorant brat. Do you really think the King of the Hundred Birds can be toyed with by you?"
The Phoenix let out a cry.
In the next instant.
Its body also split into a hundred forms, corresponding to each of Yuan Xin's bodies.
In this great battle, as long as no outsiders intervened, the Phoenix was confident that even if Yuan Xin's beast had sacrificed its life, he wouldn't be its match.
So at the beginning, they both attacked at the same time, and the fight was extremely intense.
But after a hundred moves, Yuan Xin was running out of strength and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The Phoenix seized the opportunity. Its sharp claws tried to pierce Yuan Xin's body again in the same way.
But in that instant.
The entire protective shield began to shake.
In the next instant, the Phoenix's body began to retreat step by step.
It finally managed to stop its steps and only then saw that a woman had appeared under the light circle.
That woman must be the disciple most beloved by the master back then - Xia Wanning.
Although it was expected for Xia Wanning to see the Phoenix, she still couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
She had witnessed the Phoenix's power back then.
"Xia Wanning."
"Phoenix, you appear here and disrupt the lives of the people in the East Ze Wilderness. Have you ever thought that this goes against Sister Ling's original intention?"
"Original intention? You talk to me about original intention?"
The Phoenix wept blood.
The only people who were unqualified to talk about the master's original intention were them.
"Anyway, as a senior elder of the sect, I have the obligation to protect the peace of the people."
The Phoenix laughed, and its cry was extremely mournful.
"Xia Wanning, you are really a just person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. Don't you forget that it was the master who saved your life."
"Sister Ling did many evil deeds. I naturally remember her kindness to me, but that doesn't mean I should help the evildoer and become her accomplice in harming the people."
Accomplice?
The Phoenix was in a daze looking at the righteous woman in front of it.
"Xia Wanning, when the master saved you back then, she didn't care whether your status was low or whether saving you would arouse the dissatisfaction of your enemies. Xia Wanning, the master was partial. In the past, she was reluctant to let others hurt you children even a little bit. But now, you actually claim to be a just person and openly denounce the master's faults here."
"Xia Wanning, Elder Xia, you are really affectionate and righteous."
Xia Wanning frowned tightly.
Obviously, every word of the Phoenix's hit her heart.
"Phoenix, you are a member of the beast world. How can you understand the true emotions in the human world? Naturally, you won't understand me now. The common people in the world are far more important than personal feelings."
"Elder Xia is mighty!"
"Support Elder Xia!"
The crowd below began to boil.
Obviously, Xia Wanning's words really touched the people under her feet.
"In that case, there's nothing more to say between us."
The Phoenix didn't give Xia Wanning time to react. It paused for a moment and then appeared beside Xia Wanning.
"So fast! How about becoming my contracted divine beast?"
Xia Wanning murmured.
The Phoenix was already in a state of rampage.
"Yuan Xin, what are you standing there for? I'll hold this brute back. You set up the formation and trap it to death in the formation."
Yuan Xin was stunned.
He said reluctantly, "But Susu wants it."
"The elders of the An family want this brute? But they have to see if this brute is willing. Otherwise, instead of currying favor, they might bring disaster to the An family."
Yuan Xin thought about it.
It was indeed the case.
So he immediately stopped in his tracks, closed his eyes slightly, and began to chant the mental formula non - stop. At the same time, the seals in his hands also changed constantly.
"Miaoxi, set up the formation."
"Yes, Master."
After Miaoxi exchanged glances with the others in the sect, they all sat cross - legged. Their hands began to change seals according to the mental formula Yuan Xin was chanting.
The Phoenix wanted to stop them, but Xia Wanning's strength was too strong. It had already consumed too much energy in the previous fight with Yuan Xin. So at this moment, Xia Wanning could hold it back.
Beside them, tens of thousands of rays of light began to slowly gather.
They began to shine with a cold light. As long as any object hit this ten - thousand - foot light prison, it would turn to ashes in less than a second.
"Bang!"
Xia Wanning's shoulder was hit hard by the Phoenix. She staggered back and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Ah!"
In the next instant, a shrill scream came.
It was the ten - thousand - foot light prison again. Eighteen years ago, the master had died under their sneak attack. Now, they were using the same method to try to kill the Phoenix.
"Brute, if you still don't die like this, then you really have a great life."
Xia Wanning murmured.
But not long after she murmured, a corner of the ten - thousand - foot light prison was actually destroyed by some external force.
Suddenly, a strong white light flashed in front of them, and everyone quickly covered their eyes.
