Dusk was falling.

Inside Shan Jun Temple, the bonfire's light had long been obscured by the radiance of the Jade Phoenix.

Li Mo sat alone before the offering table, looking at the remaining essence blood in his System space.

“Lu Wu... Bai Ze... Xie Zhi...”

With the Jade Phoenix's assistance, he no longer needed to worry about choosing which True Spirits to integrate into his Seventy-Two Transformations.

He only needed to prepare the essence blood in advance.

Thus, he first took out the moon soul crystal, observed the Taiyin Divine Intent, filled his Yi Soul, and adjusted his state to optimal.

Approximately half an hour later.

Among various phenomena, a Spirit Beast with a tiger's head, green hair, white fur all over its body, and a single horn on its head leaped out—this was the choice the Jade Phoenix had made for him.

“Bai Ze, huh...?”

Li Mo gazed at the True Spirit.

The various Divine Intentions within its Bloodline appeared in his mind like a gushing spring.

Within this Bai Ze True Spirit, there was no ferocity of a Yao Beast; on the contrary, it was very gentle and amiable.

A moment later.

Xiao Li transformed into Bai Ze Xiao Li.

Another transformation was added to the Seventy-Two Transformations.

“Bai Ze seems extremely sensitive to others’ thoughts...”

“If a person’s heart isn’t strong, can it even know what the other party is thinking?”

The Bai Ze’s Bloodline Power was quite useful; combined with the Tianming Divine Eye, its effect was excellent, practically capable of stripping the opponent bare.

Unfortunately, the characteristics of each transformation could not be used when transforming into human form.

Thinking this, Li Mo stood up.

Under the cold moon.

Ying Bing sat before a portable tea table, exuding that familiar clear, serene, and sacred Qi; she gently sipped tea, her frost-like eyes observing every rustle in the surroundings.

But upon seeing the young man emerge from the temple, her gaze visibly softened.

“Are you cold?”

Li Mo instinctively forgot about her Physique, unbuttoned his outer jacket, and draped it over her shoulders.

Ying Bing raised her hand to touch the clothing, her delicate nose twitching, and ultimately only tightened her collar:

“The wind is a bit strong.”

“Go on, your safety is now entrusted to me.”

Li Mo gave a thumbs-up and smiled, looking very dependable.

The two swapped places, and Ying Bing walked into the Shan Jun Temple, looking back to see the young man pick up her tea cup and take a sip, a sudden sense of ease welling up in her heart.

It was naturally best to dedicate all one’s mind to observing Divine Intent.

If he was sitting there, she could probably rest assured.

“If there’s any unusual movement, blow the jade feather whistle.”

“With me here, there won will be no accidents.”

Li Mo shook the red string on his wrist, indicating that he understood.

Ying Bing left the temple door ajar.

She didn’t rush to activate the Jade Phoenix, but rather peered out through the crack in the door.

Xiao Li sat there seriously, his face full of solemnity.

After a while, upon hearing the rustling of leaves, he would flash and stand on a certain tree, and upon realizing it was just a bird, he would click his tongue, seemingly mocking himself for being too high-strung.

But soon after sitting back down, the grass rustled again, and so a few breaths later, he returned with a rabbit in hand. frёewebnoѵēl.com

He was even muttering about whether to just eat roasted rabbit tomorrow morning.

A hint of a smile clearly flashed in Ying Bing’s eyes, illuminated by a sliver of moonlight.

Only then did she drape the clothing over herself and activate the Jade Phoenix.

All her focus was placed on the Hundred Birds True Spirit.

Time slowly flowed by.

Gradually, night deepened.

“Hmm?”

Li Mo opened his eyes; an unusual flapping sound of wings came from his ear.

He reached out and grabbed the flapping little bird; it was a thumb-sized bird, somewhat similar to a hummingbird.

“Chirp chirp!”

“I’m here to deliver a message for Clan Leader Shang!”

The hummingbird twisted its small head, its voice muffled.

“Sorry, sorry.”

When Li Mo released his hand, the hummingbird’s eyes, as it looked at him, showed a human-like expression of Life Qi.

“What did Clan Leader Shang say?” Li Mo had no time to concern himself with a bird’s mood.

“Two Six-Rank Disaster Beasts are coming to cause you trouble soon!”

Li Mo frowned, becoming serious.

Shang Qinqing had said they wouldn’t encounter Yao Kings.

But in fact, they hadn’t even seen a Fifth-Rank or Six-Rank Disaster Beast along the way.

Unexpectedly, when they did appear, it was two at once, as if by prior arrangement.

Six-Rank was equivalent to a human’s Inner Scenery Realm.

“Two Inner Scenery...”

Feeling the fluctuations of the Divine Intention observation behind him, Li Mo dismissed the idea of blowing the jade feather whistle.

Firstly, Ice Cube was at a critical juncture now.

Secondly, he wanted to test his current level.

The top ten Prodigies on the Qianlong Ranking could all contend with Inner Scenery.

What about two?

The hummingbird Yao Beast was about to say something more, but suddenly its feathers bristled, and it shivered, quickly slipping away.

The next moment.

“Jie jie jie.”

“Mwah ha ha ha...”

The ground trembled, and two huge, blurry black figures appeared not far away.

One was a four-headed giant snake, exuding a strong, pungent stench all over its body; where it passed, plants withered—Li Mo was quite familiar with this true form.

The other Disaster Beast was also a snake, with six legs and four wings; not even dew could remain around its body, and standing dozens of feet away, it made one’s throat dry.

It felt like having the air conditioning on all night, waking up in the morning with no water left, and having to go downstairs under the scorching sun to buy water...

“Xiangliu Clan, Fei Yi Clan?”

Li Mo had seen the True Spirits of these two races within the Jade Phoenix.

Seeing him standing there alone, Xiangliu’s four hideous heads simultaneously revealed a hint of bloodlust.

“Was it you who blew up our young Clan Chief’s head? Good, good, good...”

“The light of the heavenly divine jade... Eat... Eat you all!”

Fei Yi looked greedily into the divine temple.

Both Disaster Beasts were quite aggressive.

Xiao Li pondered for a moment.

He decided to first figure out why these two had come together.

Secret technique!

I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush yet.

Cough... Actually, it’s the calming property of Taiyin Pure Radiance.

Enveloped by pure radiance, this was not a harmful attack; even those of higher Realms could not defend against it.

“I wonder what you taste like... Aba aba...”

“heavenly divine jade... Jie jie jie... Hmm?”

Xiangliu and Fei Yi suddenly entered sage mode.

All sorts of negative emotions in their hearts seemed to vanish instantly.

Li Mo saw that the effect was almost complete, then asked:

“You two are quite a coincidence, coming together.”

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you.”

Xiangliu’s four heads spoke simultaneously: “It’s not just two; there are a total of four Six-Rank Yao Beasts, all agreeing to come and take your life.”

“It’s just that we arrived the earliest, and we thought there was no need to wait for those useless guys; the two of us will definitely take care of you.”

Amidst Fei Yi’s strange laughter, greed resurfaced from the ashes.

Four Six-Rank Disaster Beasts?

Li Mo narrowed his eyes:

“Which other two?”

“River-Flipping Alligator, Nine-Headed Bird...” Fei Yi was just speaking when.

The killing intent in Xiangliu’s heart could no longer be suppressed, and it said coldly:

“You will surely die tonight; surrender, and I’ll give you a quick death.”

“We’ll talk about the divine jade later; I have another question.”

Xiao Li’s casual remark came again:

“There’s only one divine jade; how do you plan to... divide it?”

Fighting King Profound Meaning.

If there is more than one enemy, one can try to sow discord.

While Xiao Li was dealing with the two great Yao Beasts.

Inside the house, Ying Bing’s eyes opened slightly, a glimmer of light visible within them.

How could she not know what was happening outside?

However.

Li Mo hadn’t blown the jade feather whistle yet.

She was also curious.

Could Li Mo, using his full strength, defeat two Inner Scenery Realm cultivators?

But would there be any danger?

It seemed as if two small figures, both looking like her, appeared on Ying Bing’s shoulders.

One had a cold little face and said that men all have self-esteem, especially in front of their beloved; don’t you like to see him descend like a Heavenly God? What’s wrong with being protected once in a while?

The other had a worried face and said he was so naive; what if he got hurt? What if he lost an arm or a leg? Wouldn’t you regret it to death then?

The two little figures argued back and forth.

A trace of bewilderment was particularly evident ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) in Ying Bing’s usually clear and divine eyes.
