Above the towering cliffs, a biting wind seemed to sweep up from the abyss, carrying a faint hint of blood, sending shivers down one's spine.
“May Great Wind Heavenly God bless us with favorable weather next year.”
A group of villagers, led by a priest, knelt before the temple at the edge of the cliff, kowtowing in worship.
Inside the temple stood a four-foot-tall bronze statue, with a human face and a bird's body, its wings remarkably large, as if a gentle flap could summon a fierce gale.
“Bring forth the grand sacrificial offerings!”
A pair of young boy and girl, carrying flower baskets, were pushed into the Great Wind Temple.
The light immediately dimmed, and the divine statue was shrouded in shadow.
Pfft—
Crimson blood splattered, its color identical to the streak of blood-light falling outside.
Han Zhen walked into the temple, instinctively covering his nose, and frowned as he looked at the human-faced monster bird not far away.
“Didn’t I already teach you the method for refining Blood Pills a long time ago?”
“The taste of flesh and blood is better.”
The human-faced monster bird gnawed on bones with a crunching sound, revealing a chilling smile.
Han Zhen’s frown deepened. One of Great Shang’s totems of yesteryear now relished raw flesh and blood.
“The jade phoenix god has a Master.”
“Hmm?” The human-faced monster bird’s eyes lit up, its feathers bristling with excitement, as gusts of wind howled through the temple:
“Is the National Preceptor going to complete the divine tree and awaken the True Phoenix?”
However, Han Zhen’s next sentence made its expression freeze:
“It has been obtained by the Human Race.”
The human-faced monster bird fell into deep thought.
“The Human Race... can contend for the jade phoenix god?”
“Although that woman is of the Human Race, she possesses a natural Phoenix Body...” Han Zhen narrowed his eyes.
“Even so, how could she defeat Zhi Duo Luo and the other Divine Sons?”
“Not defeat, but kill.”
Han Zhen fell silent after speaking.
After a long while, he spoke again:
“This arm of mine was severed by her, and she was not alone...”
Han Zhen recounted everything that happened in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm.
Finally, his gaze was burning as he said:
“She is also a Disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, and the path she is currently taking is undoubtedly that of condensing the forms of all birds.”
“I fear that in a short while, she will be able to gather the Phoenix God on her own, and by then, your existence...”
“Will be meaningless!”
The human-faced monster bird’s blood-red pupils constricted slightly.
“She absolutely cannot be allowed to leave the Southern Border with the jade phoenix god.” As soon as the words fell, the human-faced monster bird was already flapping its wings, transforming into a gust of wind and flying towards the horizon.

Hanging Temple.
In the Water Race’s Grotto-Heaven, Yao Kings and Great Yao of various races gathered together for the first time, in an unusually enthusiastic manner.
During this period, all races had experienced the benefits of the heavenly divine jade.
But gratitude was only a part of it.
More importantly, this young pair of Yao Race, one with True Dragon Bloodline and the other with True Phoenix Bloodline, and both wielding the divine jade, had a great chance of becoming the leaders of the Southern Border Yao Race in the future.
At this moment, all the Yao were gathered around Li Mo and Ying Bing.
To be precise, they were around Tianjiao Xiao Li. Ying Bing sat there expressionlessly, calmly and coolly drinking tea. The Yao glanced at her a few times, not daring to approach.
“This King will go back and restrain my clansmen, strictly prohibiting random urination and defecation upstream of rivers, which affects the living environment of local Water Race.”
“The Great Peng Clan will share the Golden Peng Qi Phenomenon, bringing accurate weather forecasts for everyone!”
“Our Purple Lightning Gill Eel Clan... Uh, we’ll try not to generate electricity randomly in the future.”
The Yao Kings were united in their efforts, full of enthusiasm, their Yao hearts glowing red.
Tianjiao Xiao Li showed a look of relief, feeling that he should also say a few words:
“If there is a lack of rainwater anywhere, you can also come to the Mingjiao Clan and request a Ming Jiaolong based on the required rainfall.”
“The Southern Border is our home, and its beauty relies on everyone!”
Upon hearing this, the Yao applauded loudly.
In fact, apart from Disaster Beasts, most of the Yao Race in the Southern Border did not like conflict.
After they returned, the Southern Border would probably... be more stable?
Although there were still many problems that could not be solved at once, this was a good start.
“Shouldn’t Zhennan King give me a civilization award for this?”
Xiao Li’s mouth curved slightly.
Speaking of which, this should also count as an investment, right?
Clearing his throat, Li Mo asked with a serious face:
“Does anyone else have any good suggestions or questions?”
“I do!”
Manbo raised his hand.
“Please speak.”
“I suggest that Peerless Sky蛟 and Qingluan Goddess have noble children soon!”
“Pfft...”
Li Mo froze for a moment, spitting out the tea he had just drunk.
“That’s right, True Dragon Bloodline and True Phoenix Bloodline, both are so powerful separately, if they were to have offspring...”
“Don’t even mention it, you really shouldn’t even mention it, their ability to wield the divine jade together means the divine jade approves.”
“Hiss... That makes sense!”
“Are they... a good match?”
“The divine jade has no objections, so who are you, a demon, ghost, or monster, to object?”
The Yao looked at each other, their eyes filled with wisdom and contemplation.
True Dragons and True Phoenixes are already so powerful.
Wouldn’t their descendants ascend to the heavens?
Li Mo: “...”
Xiao Li never dreamed of this.
He had barely experienced being urged to marry a few times, and now he was going to experience being urged to have children.
And by a group of Yao.
He glanced at the Ice Cube, but saw that the young woman was still quietly drinking tea, but her curled fingers betrayed her...
“So everyone, are you leaving or not?”
Tianjiao Xiao Li forced a farewell.
But the Yao Kings were still talking animatedly as they left.
“Given time, with the True Dragon and True Phoenix united, a mere Great Yu will not be worth fearing!”
“Our Yao Race should unite, grow stronger, and create new glories!”
“What do you think the Bloodline of a True Dragon and True Phoenix should be called, Phoenix Dragon, or Dragon Phoenix?”
Urging to have children also seemed to be a Yao Race tradition.
Perhaps it was because powerful Yao Race Bloodlines found it more difficult to produce offspring?
Uncle Murong’s value was still ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) increasing...
“Brother Li.”
Li Mo hadn’t had time to go back and tidy up when Murong Xiao called out to him. There were already ring scars on his head, indicating that he had officially become a member of the Hanging Temple. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“I will also be leaving the Southern Border with the Hanging Temple.”
“I hadn’t thought of this aspect before.” Li Mo felt a little embarrassed.
He had originally thought that Murong Xiao being in the Southern Border would allow him to see his parents more often, but who would have thought the Hanging Temple was moving.
“As long as there is fate, everywhere is the Hanging Temple.”
Li Mo looked at him amusedly: “You haven’t even recited sutras for two days, and you’re already speaking like a monk.”
Murong Xiao chuckled: “My Master said that the Hanging Temple flies everywhere, so maybe one day, if we’re lucky, we’ll run into each other.”
After speaking, he became a bit more serious, lowering his voice: fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Brother Li, when you return to the Qingyuan Sect from the Southern Border, you must be extra careful. With the Abbot Divine Monk gone from the Southern Border, who knows what troubles might arise.”
“Take this item. My Master gave it to me. No matter when or where you are, you can instantly return to the temple.”
He took out a string of Buddhist beads, which subtly carried a similar, yet not entirely identical, fluctuation to a sumaru object.
“Great Master Hengyuan gave it to you. Will you be punished if you give it to me?”
“Yes, but it’s fine. Anyway, Master can’t scold me.”
“...”
Li Mo looked at Murong Xiao’s solemn expression, remained silent for a moment, and then accepted it.
“I don’t know when we’ll meet again next time.”
“I have a scroll of sutras that I don’t understand, so I’ll give it to you.”
He took out a scroll of sutras from his sleeve.
