Upon hearing Xuanqing Zi's words, Lin Yinping glanced at the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock and then took a second look at Han Li, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face.
But just at that moment, a flash of white light appeared atop the head of the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock, and the face of the young man surnamed Xu morphed into view again. He first chuckled bitterly under the astonished gazes of the scholar and the elder, then said:
"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to search for me any further. My body has been destroyed, and now only my Nascent Soul resides within the spiritual bird."
"How can that be! Brother Xu is a late Foundation Establishment cultivator; how could his body be destroyed so easily? Could it be that the ancient devilish Divine Ancestor suppressed here has escaped?" Xuanqing Zi was shocked, his complexion turning pale.
