In the Qingling Imperial Dynasty, within the palace.
"Cheep, cheep~"
No one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, a crack appeared on the egg transformed by the chaotic golden flame. Immediately after, a small bird with colorful plumage flew out. Without even glancing at anyone else, it immediately began to search for Cao Wenbin. Unfortunately, the place where Cao Wenbin had been was already empty. However, the little bird was not panicked. Tipping its small head slightly, as if sensing something. Then it flapped its small wings and flew towards a palace. Its speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it reached the palace gate. But just as it was about to rush into the broken palace gate...
"Ah~"
First, a very intriguing tone came from inside the palace. Then, a thin layer of halo directly blocked it.
"Cheep, cheep~"
The cry was full of grievance. Obviously, she, who had not yet passed through the mystery in the womb, couldn't understand why the very familiar person inside wouldn't let her in. So, her stubborn temper immediately came up. But before she could collide again, the palace door was slowly pushed open.
"Cheep, cheep~"
Still the same two tones. But the charm within was obviously different. But while she was happy, Cao Wenbin, who was walking while buttoning up his clothes on one side, was clearly extremely depressed.
"Stupid bird. Will you die if you break out of the shell a little later?"
"Don't you know that getting up immediately is very harmful to the body?"
Of course, although he said so, Cao Wenbin still immediately picked her up and held her in his arms. After all, this little one would be an extremely beautiful woman in the near future. The armor inside the room was not in the least comparable to her.
"I don't know when you will pass through the mystery in the womb."
"No way. Before completely taking you down, young master definitely can't go home."
"In case those old fellows in the back mountain lower their faces and ask me for it, I won't even be able to find a way to cry."
But little did he know that at the moment Shi Feng broke out of the shell, those who had pursued Shi Feng before and were still alive all opened their eyes. At this moment, they had already locked onto her location.
"Good, good, good. My goddess has actually been resurrected. Hmm, it seems that this old man should also move."
"Jun Qingfeng. You'd better continue lying in your coffin. Can't you see? Shi Feng now belongs to my Cao family."
"Don't talk nonsense. Shi Feng belongs to everyone. She was so ten thousand years ago, and she still is now. Cao Xing, quickly ask your descendant to hand over Shi Feng. We'll help her pass through the mystery in the womb together."
"Impossible! Since ancient times, when something has entered the hands of my Cao family, when has it ever been handed over? We are like pixiu. Only allowed in and not out. If you are not convinced, then let's have a competition."
"Afraid of you? Not at all!"
In an instant, an aura of killing filled the entire Immortal Realm. People might not feel much. But those animals with sharp senses were directly scared and lay on the ground. Their bodies were constantly trembling. That appearance was just like the end of the world was coming. But this state of theirs didn't last long. As for the reason...
"Everyone, the ten - thousand - year period is about to arrive."
"If we fight at this time, isn't it a case of pain for our own people and joy for our enemies?"
"So, my church has a win - win solution. I wonder if you want to hear it?"
Silence. After a long while, the supreme being of the Lin family then asked, "Speak."
"Very simple. We compete fairly..."
But before he could finish speaking, Cao Xing objected again.
"You're daydreaming."
"Shi Feng is in the hands of my descendant. As long as he returns to my Cao family, he will definitely introduce her to me immediately. In this case, why should I compete fairly with you?"
"It's easy to say. But can he go back?"
"Then let's try..."
Without any surprise, several big shots who were all unyielding quickly started arguing again. But until they were parched, they still didn't take action. After all, they had a common enemy. Eventually, they still chose to hold peace talks. But this treaty was slightly more favorable to the Cao family.
"Then it's settled."
"The ownership of Shi Feng will be decided by herself after she wakes up."
"But she will stay at the Cao family in the first month."
"..."
There were still many scattered treaties. But little did they know! This peerless delicacy would never be their turn.
...
"Boom~"
As a loud noise rang out, immediately, a sky full of rays of light appeared over the ancestral home of the Jun family.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that a secret treasure has appeared?"
Ordinary members of the Jun family were somewhat confused. But those Great Emperor powerhouses all had looks of horror in their eyes. Because they knew that this ray of light represented the birth of a supreme being.
"Has the ancestor come out of seclusion?"
Without any hesitation, all those who were of sufficient level immediately rushed towards the back mountain. And indeed, as they had thought. The most luxurious mausoleum in the back mountain had already exploded. There was a lot of dust. But it couldn't cover up the majestic figure in the void.
"Ancestor, what is this..."
Without answering directly. After a long while, Jun Qingfeng then asked in reply, "Besides Xiaoyao, is there any other descendant of our Jun family generation who can be considered outstanding?"
Many Great Emperors looked at each other. Then one of them quickly stepped forward: "Reporting to the ancestor, Jun Wanjie of my line is still passable."
"At present, he has cultivated to the middle stage of quasi - sainthood. With the various secret techniques he has mastered, he can at least burst out with the strength of the peak of quasi - sainthood."
That's right. The one who spoke was Jun Luofeng. Naturally, he, who was born to show off, wouldn't miss this opportunity. However, these words of his were said with extreme uneasiness. After all, that Jun Wanjie had lost his balls. Fortunately, Jun Qingfeng didn't care about these things. Therefore...
"Middle stage of quasi - sainthood? He is indeed a talent."
"In that case, give this task to him this time."
Jun Luofeng was overjoyed. Helping the ancestor with a task. If this succeeded, his line would instantly take off.
"Please tell us, ancestor. We will definitely do our best."
Nodding in satisfaction: "It's not a big deal."
"You should have heard of Cao Wenbin of the Cao family, right?"
"He recently got a very magical bird."
"I need your descendant to go and snatch it for me."
"I've checked. This person is currently near the newly appeared Yunzhong Secret Realm. Just tell Wanjie to go directly there."
"Remember, you can give up on anything in the secret realm, but the bird must be brought back."
The more he listened, the more bitter Jun Luofeng's smile became. The excitement from before had long been thrown to the back of his mind. After all, he knew his own people well. His Jun Wanjie was still okay against others. But against Cao Wenbin, it was just delivering food. Yes, under the effect of the [Loving Flowers Treasure Manual], Jun Wanjie had made great progress. But that kid from the Cao family couldn't possibly stand still either.
"It's just snatching a bird. It's not a head - on confrontation."
"Under unexpected circumstances, it should not be difficult."
"If it really doesn't work, then use resources to bribe."
"I don't believe I can't find helpers."
"In short, it's okay to lose face anywhere else, but not in front of the ancestor."
...
Coincidentally! This scene is not only playing out in the Jun family. The same is true for other immortal forces. As for the Cao family... Naturally, it can't be left behind either. Look, as soon as Cao Xing jumped out of the mausoleum, he immediately called Zhao Yuan'er to his side.
"Girl, go and inform Wenbin to be extremely careful recently."
"Pay special attention to bird thieves."
"If it really doesn't work, then send Shi Feng back first."
"By the way, say thank you to him on my behalf."
"Tell him that I appreciate his kindness."
Zhao Yuan'er was stunned. Then the corners of her mouth twitched. After a long while, she then said with a suppressed smile, "Ancestor, you might be being too sentimental."
"According to my understanding of that little guy, saving Shi Feng is definitely not for you."
"The most likely thing is that he himself has taken a fancy to her."
"Most likely, Shi Feng at this moment might already..."
Zhao Yuan'er didn't say the rest. But Cao Xing wasn't a fool. How could he not know the meaning of these words? So, he was immediately stunned.
"Can't be. The age difference between the two is calculated in thousands of years."
"Besides, I'm his ancestor. Can he still compete with me?"
The corners of her mouth twitched again: "It's hard to say for others."
"But Wenbin will definitely be able to do such a thing."
"After all, he likes older ones."
"The older, the more excited he is."
"As for the fact that you are his ancestor..."
"He definitely doesn't care."
"Because the lesson of Xue Rou is right there."
Silence. After a quarter of an hour, Cao Xing then said with a bitter face, "It seems that this is all fate."
"Some things really can't be forced."
"But it doesn't matter."
"After all, this pond of fertile water of Shi Feng didn't flow into the fields of outsiders."
