As Yang Yan's gaze landed on the little girl, she became even more afraid.
She hugged the Single-horned Pegasus's neck and hid behind it.
"Foal, he's looking at me, he's looking at me, he must want to eat me..." She said in a low voice.
The little girl's words were heard by everyone.
Jing Xin was kind-hearted. Seeing that the girl seemed pitiful, she felt compassion.
"My lord, she's just a little girl. There's no profound energy in her body. To you, the sacred beast is the most important. Why don't you keep them both? Let her be your servant and serve you tea," She suggested.
Yang Yan raised his hand slightly to stop her from continuing.
"What's your name? What can you do?" He asked.
The little girl pointed at herself and asked, "Great Demon King, are you asking for my name?"
"Yes, tell me your name and what you know. The lord might let you off because of this and not eat you," Jing Xin said.
The little girl's big eyes blinked.
"I'm Xiao Hua. I... uh... I can sing, does that count?" She said carefully.
Xiao Hua. A very common name.
"My lord, does it count?" Jing Xin asked.
"Yes, sing a song then," Yang Yan said meaningfully.
Xiao Hua immediately smiled, "Then I'll sing a song for you guys."
With that, she opened her mouth and a soft voice came out.
At this moment, lotuses bloomed in the void.
One by one, they bloomed beautifully.
"This is..." Jing Xin was shocked.
She had thought that the other party was just an ordinary little girl. She didn't expect that the moment the other party opened her mouth, it would produce such a magical change.
"Master, did you already know?" Jing Xin asked in surprise.
Yang Yan was calm as ever.
"Someone who can be protected by the sacred beast Single-horned Pegasus is naturally no ordinary person," He said calmly.
He could tell from the beginning.
Everyone came to a realization.
"Master, why can't I see through her?" Li Wanhua, who was standing not far away, had bright eyes.
He added some profound energy to his eyes and tried to see through the little girl, but he simply couldn't.
The other party seemed to be non-existent, more transparent than the air.
"The world is full of mysterious things, how can you see through everything? She should be similar to Miao Yin, one of the three demonesses of the demonic path. She can change the world with her voice," Linghu Chongtian said.
The little girl finished her song and the lotus flowers withered. Then, she looked at Yang Yan with her big eyes, "Demon King, can you not eat me?"
Yang Yan's eyes focused on her, "Why do you think I'll eat you?"
The little girl jabbed her fingers together.
"It's because I'm more delicious than the Savage Ancient Crocodile. Many people, demonic beasts, and mutant beasts want to eat me. The foal has been protecting me. Since you ate the Savage Ancient Crocodile, you'll definitely want to eat me too."
More delicious? It seemed that her physique was not ordinary.
Everyone understood this in their hearts.
"I won't eat you. You'll stay by my side and sing for me." Yang Yan said.
In his eyes, it didn't matter who the little girl was or what her physique was.
From now on, the other party would be a singer under him.
"Miao Yin? I should suppress her too and make her sing for me. Then, I can find two dancing Holy Maidens," He thought.
In his daily life, there was nothing but cultivation, and Yang Yan found it rather boring.
If he could get a few Holy Maidens or demonesses to sing and dance for him, that seemed nice.
"When the time comes, I'll change to a bigger palanquin," Yang Yan made up his mind.
He looked at the Single-horned Pegasus.
A sacred beast, the pegasus.
He had never had one before.
"It's too young and doesn't have much meat. Let's nurture it for some time first," Yang Yan thought.
The profound energy at his fingertips turned into a sword and he aimed it at the two of them.
"It's easy for me to kill you, so if you don't want to die, listen to me in the future. Understand?"
The little girl nodded her head vigorously, and the Single-horned Pegasus did the same.
It felt a rush of killing intent that gave it the feeling it would be killed in the next moment. Its heart almost stopped beating!
"Let them go. We're leaving," Yang Yan said as he kept the profound energy.
"Yes."
Leng Biyue took out a palanquin from her storage ring. Yang Yan entered the palanquin, and this time, the shadow assassin followed.
Her position was replaced by Zhan Tianyi.
The little girl rode on the Single-Horned Pegasus and followed in as well.
Rumble!
As Zhan Tianyi and the others lifted the palanquin, the ground trembled.
The entire cave was collapsing, and gravel was flying everywhere.
"Could it be that master's heavenly tribulation is so powerful that even the human rank can't block it?" Li Wanhua was shocked.
They quickly carried the palanquin and left the cave.
Passing through the waterfall, they arrived outside.
"It's not master's heavenly tribulation. A ruin has opened!" Linghu Chongtian looked into the distance and spoke with a lingering fear.
Leng Biyue lifted the curtain of the palanquin, and everything entered Yang Yan's eyes.
Beams of dazzling light shot up into the sky, creating an illusion.
The scene in the illusion was of soldiers lined up neatly. Several generals stood at the forefront of the soldiers.
All of the generals and soldiers looked up at the figure in the dragon robe on the throne. He was indomitable and had supreme majesty.
"Soldiers? Emperors?
Could the Emperor in the illusion be the immortal path great emperor?" Linghu Chongtian asked doubtfully.
Bone of the God clan shook his head.
"It shouldn't be. The immortal path great emperor is in the universe. His subordinates are not soldiers but countless cultivators known as Gods."
Among all of them, he was the most knowledgeable.
"If he isn't the immortal path great emperor, who else can have such dignity?" Li Wanhua was puzzled.
"I'm not sure."
"We'll know when we get there," Yang Yan spat out these six words.
"Yes."
Li Wanhua led the way, and the group went straight to the illusion's location.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the ruins.
A bronze door was embedded in the mountain, tall and majestic.
All sorts of sacred beasts and divine beasts were carved on the door. The most eye-catching one was a true dragon seal. The carving looked like a real living dragon, emitting supreme majesty.
The illusion in the sky shot out from a crack in the bronze door and shone into the sky.
When they arrived, they saw three figures in front of the bronze door. These three should be cultivators who knew each other.
"My master has arrived. Everyone move aside!" Li Wanhua led the way and shouted when he saw the cultivators in front of the door.
The cultivators who were discussing how to open the bronze door turned around together.
When they saw Li Wanhua and the palanquin, the three of them frowned.
The cultivator in the middle even had flames coming out of his head.
They had entered the human rank before Yang Yan, so they did not know what had happened between Yang Yan and Divine General Heavenly Eye.
"Your master? Who the hell is that?" The cultivator in the middle said disdainfully.
A cultivator next to him said a few words in a low voice.
"So it's Li Wanhua and Linghu Chongtian, who have immortal bodies. I see that people from the Zhan family are also here, huh? Just nice. I, Little Fire God, want to fight you and climb to a higher position on the human rank!" He said with a cold face.
To think he wanted to challenge a few Holy Sons alone, he was very bold.
Little Fire God!
At this point, Li Wanhua recognized who the cultivator was.
"The 13th son of the hidden Fire God clan's leader. He has the Inferno Divine Body and is known as the Little Fire God. He was ranked 220th on the human rank. He's arrogant, hot-tempered, and stubborn," Li Wanhua said in a serious tone.
Zhou Quan stretched out his hand, and a red tasseled spear appeared in his hand.
"That's me."
Li Wanhua also recognized the other two cultivators.
One of them was Lin Qi, the Holy Sun of Yantian Mountain Outland, ranked 310th on the human rank.
The other one was Zhang Ke from the Donglin Academy, also known as the Little Calligraphy Sage. He was ranked 400th on the human rank.
Whoosh!
Leng Biyue lifted the curtain of the palanquin.
"Master asked me to tell you that he needs a few acrobatics. If you guys are willing, you can submit to him. If you're unwilling, then die," She said coldly.
Little Fire God Zhou Xuan chuckled, "Ridiculous! The word "submission" doesn't exist in the dictionaries of the Fire God clan's members! Tell him to come down, I want to kill him!"
Li Wanhua immediately bowed.
"Master, he disrespected you. I'm willing to kill him for you."
Yang Yan's voice rang out from within the carriage, "I'm going to use him to test my strength after breaking through."
"Yes," Li Wanhua stepped back.
Buzz!
A beam of sword Qi shot out from the palanquin and instantly arrived in front of Little Fire God.
"You want to kill me with this little bit of power? Is that even possible?"
