Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Qingsong’s complexion was not very pleasing, one might even say it looked rather ugly?

If what Xiaojiu said was true.

That would prove Xiaojiu willingly acknowledged Chen Mo as her master.

Only in this way could a contract be formed.

This is an immense disgrace to the Spirit Fox Race.

Yet Ao Yan and Feng Qing were watching nearby, so Qingsong certainly couldn’t voice this humiliation. To save face, he said, ”Your Highness, you must have been deceived by that human, which led to this. Once I capture him and bring him back, I will find a way to break your contract.”

”I was not deceived by him, I did it willingly.” Xiaojiu said angrily, feeling it incomprehensible that they couldn’t understand.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, ”Since you still consider me a princess, then I order you to retreat immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Qingsong’s face stiffened.

Though currently, Xiaojiu had no authority to command him, she possessed the Divine Fox Sacred Body, and it was certainly fixed that she would become the king of the Spirit Fox Race in the future.

By then, he would be the vassal, and she would be the king.

If he didn’t obey her orders now, wouldn’t he suffer retaliations in the future?

Just as Qingsong was at a loss for what to do.

Ao Yan spoke, smiling, ”If you’re going to self-destruct, do it quickly. He is destined to die, and you can’t stop us.”

Ao Yan didn’t care whether Xiaojiu lived or died.

If she died, all the better.

One less threat.

The Dragon Race also didn’t want to see the Spirit Fox Race grow strong.

”Ao Yan, you...” Qingsong was so furious that the veins on his face popped out.

”Brother Ao is right, we absolutely can’t let Chen Mo leave. The matter of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow Spirit is extremely significant.” Feng Qing also agreed with Ao Yan’s remark and advised Qingsong, ”However, this contract matter is troublesome. To show the sincerity of the Phoenix Race, I can help capture Chen Mo for you. Once back in the Beast Domain, we will annul the contract from your princess, and then we can kill him.”

Feng Qing’s eyes turned fierce.

It was not yet the time to fall out with Qingsong. If pressured into siding with Zuoqiu Yiren, this matter could become thorny.

Being the old fox that Qingsong was, he clearly understood Feng Qing’s intentions.

However, this matter at hand indeed needed a quick resolution.

Ao Yan narrowed his dragon eyes before nodding slightly and said, ”Zuoqiu Yiren, hand him over. You cannot protect him.”

However, Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t pay any attention to Ao Yan’s words, but rather scratched her ear, saying, ”One after another, it’s so noisy.

How about this, you hand over your space ornaments, and I’ll let you leave safely, how’s that?”

”Hmm?”

Ao Yan snorted hotly from his huge dragon nose as if he had misheard something, his tail swaying, ”What did you say?”

”I said, hand over your space ornaments, and I’ll let you leave safely.” Zuoqiu Yiren replied impatiently.

”Arrogant.” Ao Yan spat out a bolt of thunder. Beside him, Feng Qing’s expression turned stern, ”Fairy Zuoqiu, if the three of us join forces, you won’t stand a chance, and you might end up suffering some unnecessary hardship. By then, no one on your Spiritual Boat will survive.”

Zuoqiu Yiren was renowned for her formidable strength in Primordial Heaven.

If possible, Feng Qing didn’t want to clash directly with Zuoqiu Yiren.

After all, being a Unity Realm power, if she fought desperately, it would also be terrifying.

Feng Qing didn’t want any unexpected complications.

Upon hearing these words, Zuoqiu Yiren laughed and said, ”Who said it was just me!”

The moment those words were uttered.

The entire world suddenly fell silent.

Qingsong, Ao Yan, and Feng Qing were all startled, their beastly pupils scanning various spots in the void.

Ao Yan let out a sneer, ”The void around us is so ravaged, it’s impossible to hide. Zuoqiu Yiren, stop pretending and wasting time. I’ll give you three breaths to hand over Chen Mo, or else don’t blame us for not being merciful.”

”Sect Leader, they are about to make a lethal move against our Sect’s people, aren’t you going to reveal yourself yet?” Zuoqiu Yiren spoke towards the left side of the void.

”Still pretending.” Ao Yan couldn’t hold back, spitting out a thunderbolt towards Zuoqiu Yiren.

But that thunderbolt, as soon as it left his mouth, vanished.

”Ao Yan, it’s been some time since we last met, you’re thousands of years old, how could you bully the juniors?”

A gentle voice echoed.

Ao Yan’s expression changed, looking up.

He saw, high above, a silhouette suddenly appear, from whose mouth that gentle voice emanated.

This was an old man. When Ao Yan’s gaze met his, he felt an indescribable oppressive force, a force that made his Divine Soul tremble slightly.

”Dao... Feizi...” Ao Yan gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, both Qingsong and Feng Qing’s expressions changed dramatically.

Dao Feizi, the current Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, a Mahayana Realm Cultivator.

His strength was unfathomable.

Although he appeared as just a Spirit Body, it still intensified their expressions.

Chen Mo respectfully cupped his hands towards Dao Feizi above and felt relieved, surprised that Dao Feizi was the one who came to their aid, knowing now that he need not worry.

”Wasn’t it you who told me not to act first?” Dao Feizi’s gaze shifted to Zuoqiu Yiren, transmitting his voice.

Zuoqiu Yiren pursed her lips.

Dao Feizi chuckled, then swept his gaze over Qingsong, Ao Yan, and Feng Qing, saying, ”Bullying the small with the big, Yiren is right, hand over your space ornaments, then I’ll let you leave.”

Although Dao Feizi’s face bore a smile, resembling a good-natured elder, everyone knew he was not joking.

”Dao Feizi, does your Shenxiao Sect intend to declare war on our three races?” Ao Yan shouted coldly before saying, ”The True Dragon Treasure Skill is a secret divine technique of our Dragon Race; now that he has learned it, it is absolutely intolerable to the Dragon Race.

The chieftain has ordered him to be killed on the spot or taken back to the Dragon Race.”

”Our Phoenix Race’s chieftain has given a similar order.” Feng Qing said.

”My mission is to kill Chen Mo and bring back the little princess.” Qingsong said.

”Declare war?” Dao Feizi smiled slightly and continued, ”Such words, if spoken by your chieftain personally, might carry some weight. But as for you...”

His tone seemed to carry a hint of disdain, then he said, ”Even if war really starts, I am not afraid of you.”

”Let me be clear, Chen Mo, you won’t be able to take him.”

”Is this the stance of your Shenxiao Sect?” Ao Yan said sternly.

”No, this is the stance of the Daoist Alliance. The Daoist Alliance is not afraid of going to war with you three races.” Dao Feizi said.

”Just for him, are you willing to let the creatures of the two domains suffer?” Ao Yan’s voice grew increasingly low.

”Just for him.”

”You better not regret it.” Ao Yan threatened.

”Never.” Dao Feizi replied with a smiling gaze.

Ao Yan’s expression completely darkened, ”All you have brought is merely a Spirit Body, do you really think we fear you?”

As he spoke, a golden scroll appeared in Ao Yan’s claw.

It was evident he intended to call for backup.
