The Southern Bright Bird King
Chirp...
A sharp, piercing cry echoed between Heaven and Earth, and crimson Flame almost turned half the sky red. Above the East Sea, a gigantic bird, larger than a dragon, flapped its wings and swept across the sea.
The giant bird was engulfed in terrifying Flame, obscuring its form. Wherever it passed, the seawater instantly boiled, and dense water vapor even formed bursts of scalding hot steam.
"You bastards! You wretched humans! You even dare to plunder the offspring of my Southern Bright Bird King! I will kill you all!" From within the Flame, a giant bird, its body entirely crimson, spoke in human language, its tone filled with boundless rage.
The Southern Bright Bird King was a powerful overlord in this vast sea area spanning thousands of miles, and his cultivation had even successfully broken through to the level of Demon Monster. However, his own offspring had been tamed and used as Mount. How could the Southern Bright Bird King let this go unpunished?
After learning this news from the Demon Cultivator of the sea Aquatic Clan, it flapped its wings and gave chase.
At the Sea God Hall, the Wedding between Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna was considered complete. However, as Lu Yuling and Lin Birou came out, Mo Lingna was not sent to the bridal chamber by Zhuge Xiang. Instead, she stared coldly at Lu Yuling and drove her away.
Today is her wedding day, a joyous occasion, so Mo Lingna showed leniency and did not kill Lu Yuling. She believed that if it weren't for this reason, Mo Lingna, who had already warned Lu Yuling, would definitely have done everything in her power to kill her.
"Before my mind changes, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, I don't even know if I'll change my mind again," Mo Lingna said coldly to Lu Yuling, her face grim. The chilling killing intent in her eyes was like a roaring Volcano, ready to erupt and engulf Lu Yuling at any moment.
"Hmm?" However, before Lu Yuling could answer, Mo Lingna raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression becoming serious. She turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at the horizon.
Crimson red, the sky had inexplicably been tinged with the color of Flame, and then a wave of heat swept in from afar. A crimson shadow appeared at the horizon where the water met the sky, rapidly enlarging and arriving at the Sea God Hall in an instant. A terrifying demonic Demonic Qi soared into the sky, seemingly filling the entire Heaven and Earth.
"What's going on? This Demonic Qi... is it Demon Monster?" At the Sea God Hall, everyone attending the Wedding looked at the Southern Bright Bird King flying rapidly through the sky with varying degrees of panic in their eyes. No matter where you are, a being at the level of Demon Monster is definitely a local overlord.
"Southern Bright Bird King, are you also here for my Wedding?" Although the Southern Bright Bird King, a being of Demon Monster level, had arrived uninvited, Human Heart and perplexing, Mo Lingna, as the Sea God Southern Bright Bird King, looked directly at him without the slightest fear and asked. As a Deity, she certainly had the right to speak directly with Demon Monster.
"So today is the wedding day of the Sea God. I was being presumptuous," the Southern Bright Bird King said, his voice full of vigor, upon hearing Mo Lingna's words.
Although the Sea God doesn't possess any substantial combat power, he does have the ability to control the spiritual energy of thousands of miles of sea. Even the Southern Bright Bird King finds this troublesome. If the Sea God were to divert the spiritual energy of thousands of miles of sea to other places, leaving his cultivation grounds without any spiritual energy, then the Southern Bright Bird King would have no choice but to find another place to live.
As he spoke, the enormous figure of the Southern Bright Bird King rapidly shrank, transforming in a moment into a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery red robe. He cupped his hands in greeting to Mo Lingna and said, "I have come in haste, and I was unaware of the Sea God's Wedding, so I came empty-handed. Please forgive me."
Fairy possess intelligence comparable to that of ordinary humans, and they have even refined their throat bones to speak human language. But Demon Monster are even more terrifying. They are called "Demon Monster" because they have the ability to refine themselves and transform into human form.
Unlike Monster Beast and Fairy, Demon Monster can even transform into human form and live hidden in the human world if they wish. Such Demonic Creatures, which show no flaws in appearance, are naturally called "monsters." The most famous one is the nine-tailed fox, who brought ruin to the country and its people. She transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman and entered the Imperial Palace, leading to the downfall of a great nation.
"It's enough that the Southern Bright Bird King is here. I don't care about gifts or anything like that," Mo Lingna nodded in response to the Southern Bright Bird King's words that he wasn't there to cause trouble at her Wedding. Since he wasn't there to cause trouble, Mo Lingna was more agreeable.
"You lowly servant, it's you! Give my son back..." However, at this moment, the Southern Bright Bird King's gaze fell on Lu Yuling, and he suddenly roared angrily, unleashing a scorching Demonic Qi that seemed capable of blowing the entire temple away.
The Southern Bright Bird King suddenly turned hostile at the Wedding, surprising everyone present. However, the reactions of the attendees varied.
The Wedding guests looked at Lu Yuling and whispered among themselves. This woman had just been arguing with the Sea God, and now she was being personally sought revenge by the Demon Monster Southern Bright Bird King, a powerful figure in the sea. This guy was only at the Spell Control Stage Realm, but his ability to attract hatred Human Heart.
Mo Lingna was slightly startled by the words of the Southern Bright Bird King, and then became furious. Although Mo Lingna was happy to see Lu Yuling being chased by Demon Monster, today was her Wedding, and nothing could affect the proceedings of her Wedding.
"Southern Bright Bird King, I respect you as a powerful ruler of the seas, but I hope you will leave my Sea God Hall to seek revenge. Today is my wedding day, and I hope you will grant me this favor," Mo Lingna said, her face darkening. Despite being only at the Gathering Origin Stage, she seemed oblivious to the terrifying power of the Southern Bright Bird King.
Mo Lingna's words made the Southern Bright Bird King hesitate. The woman who had tamed his descendant was right here, and the Southern Bright Bird King naturally wished he could capture her now and tear her to pieces. But Mo Lingna, as the Sea God, was someone the Southern Bright Bird King genuinely did not want to antagonize.
On this vast East Sea, numerous powerful overlords stand side by side. This Sea God is the most unique among them, for compared to the other overlords, she possesses absolutely no fighting power. Yet, her position as overlord is unshakeable, and no one dares to offend such a Sea God...
"Lu Yuling, you should leave. You're not welcome here..." Turning her head, Mo Lingna's gaze returned to Lu Yuling as she spoke.
Mo Lingna already disliked Lu Yuling's presence at her Wedding, and now that she saw the Southern Bright Bird King chasing after her, she was even more eager to get rid of her.
"Oh?" Upon hearing that Mo Lingna had chased Lu Yuling away, Nanming Bird's eyes lit up.
He was initially torn between offending the Sea God and his own descendant, but now, hearing that Mo Lingna intended to drive Lu Yuling away, the Southern Bright Bird King was secretly delighted. He could take this lowly servant away and avoid offending the Sea God —what could be better?
"Lina, no matter what, she's still my senior sister. Sending her away now would be tantamount to pushing her to the brink of despair. Let her stay..."
Beside him, Zhuge Xiang had remained silent, but now Zhuge Xiang could no longer stay silent. If he really drove Lu Yuling away, she would be doomed.
"This..." In her heart, she really wished that Lu Yuling would be killed by the Southern Bright Bird King as soon as possible, but Mo Lingna hesitated over Zhuge Xiang's request. She really found it hard to refuse Zhuge Xiang's request.
"As the saying goes, husband and wife are one. I hope you won't refuse my request," Zhuge Xiang said, looking at Mo Lingna.
Having known each other for so many years and sharing a deep friendship, Zhuge Xiang absolutely could not stand idly by and watch Lu Yuling be killed by the Demon Monster after she left.
"No need, Zhuge Xiang. I won't accept this woman's help to save me." However, to Zhuge Xiang's surprise, Lu Yuling actually refused. Her beautiful face was filled with determination, and she refused to accept Mo Lingna's help.
Zhuge Xiang looked at Lu Yuling in astonishment, not understanding why she refused. What could be more important than her own life? Besides, there was no deep-seated hatred between her and Mo Lingna, was there? All that existed was Mo Lingna's jealousy towards her.
"Hmph, you think I want to save you? I'd rather you were dead right now. But I will do my best to fulfill my husband's request," Lu Yuling refused. Mo Lingna, however, was not having it. She glanced at her sideways and said coldly.
As she spoke, Mo Lingna looked at the Southern Bright Bird King and said, "I hope you will consider my feelings and stop here today. Although I also want her to die quickly, my husband's request..."
"Hmph, I give you face, but who gives me face? I, the Southern Bright Bird King, am the overlord of the sea. My descendant has been captured by this lowly wench. Today, no one, no matter who it is, can stop me. Your Wedding is important? Are my descendants not important?" Before the Sea God Mo Lingna could finish speaking, the Southern Bright Bird King interrupted her.
In front of so many people, his own descendants were captured by this human Cultivator, and he didn't dare to act because of the Sea God's Wedding. If word got out, how could he face anyone in the East Sea?
Although I try my best not to offend the Sea God, since I can't avoid it, I might as well just move to a Nest.
"You..." At this level, everyone values face. In front of so many guests from Sea God Island, Nanming Bird's ruthless words angered Mo Lingna. Her face darkened, and she said, "It seems you're going to completely break ties with me?"
"So what? I only want my own descendants. Is that too much to ask? If you insist on stopping me, I, the Southern Bright Bird King, will not be afraid of you," the Southern Bright Bird King said coldly, his face grim. A battle was imminent. (To be continued.
