The atmosphere on the spot suddenly became tense!
Even Mr. Qi had a helpless look on his face.
He really didn't know the origin of this Vermilion Bird, but he had an educated guess: it was highly likely that it was a line of defense left for his apprentice by that divine figure!
However, the Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect was somewhat connected to him, so he didn't want to see her and the other elders fall here. Thus, he lightly coughed and pleaded with a smile, "Honored Vermilion Bird...could you please...spare them? They have also realized their mistake."
"Shut up!" The Vermilion Bird's icy voice, seemingly from the Nine Nether, was filled with an unquestionable, terrifying aura of dominance.
Mr. Qi's face immediately turned awkward, but he didn't dare say any more. What if the Divine Bird mistook him for one of the Heavenly Sword Sect?
