After a passionate encounter...
Qian Renxue, her face flushed, leaned on Ye Tianxing's shoulder, somewhat reluctant to part. "You're leaving tomorrow, and I'll be staying at the Spirit Hall for a few more days before I go. While I'm away from Heaven Dou City, don't you dare get involved with any other women, understand?"
Qian Renxue pinched Ye Tianxing's waist as a warning. Qian Renxue also regarded Ye Tianxing as the meaning of her life. The two had long been integrated into each other and were inseparable.
"I'm a very steady person, don't worry."
After kissing Qian Renxue's smooth forehead, Ye Tianxing asked, "How are things between you and her?"
It has been a week since Qian Renxue last called Bibi Dong "Mom".
Recently, Qian Mingfeng has been spending a lot of time with Bibi Dong, only occasionally visiting the Elder Hall.
"That's fine then."
Qian Renxue said casually, then glared at Ye Tianxing and said, "What exactly are you planning? Why are you dragging me and... Mom into this?"
"What ulterior motive could I possibly have?" Ye Tianxing cried out, "We're all family. And what kind of relationship do you have with His Holiness the Pope? I was just showing some concern. You're overthinking it."
Ye Tianxing would never reveal the original ending of the future, and with his arrival, the tragedy would certainly not happen.
"My son has been away from me for seven days, and only now do I truly understand the heartache of being a mother. Only after experiencing it firsthand can one truly appreciate what one has to offer." Qian Renxue hugged Ye Tianxing tightly.
"Everything is moving in a positive direction."
Ye Tianxing leaned down, and their lovemaking began again...
The next day, after bidding farewell to Qian Renxue and her son, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and their teacher, Ye Tianxing embarked on his journey back to Heaven Dou City.
Ye Tianxing, riding the Seven Star Sword Ye Tianxing Sword, unknowingly returned to the Spirit Hall from Heaven Dou City. Twenty days had passed, and there were still ten days until the start of the elimination rounds.
Based on Ye Tianxing's speed, he could reach Heaven Dou City in just three days by flying on his sword.
Prior to this, Ye Tianxing rushed to the border between the Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the Withered Wood Bow appearing in his hand, Ye Tianxing pulled back the bowstring, and the Flame Emperor transformed into a Fire Arrow, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, flying into the core area of Star Dou Great Forest in a flash.
The beautiful central lake is surrounded by towering trees. Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape are playing and laughing by the water's edge. Bored, the two are chatting to pass the time during a dull day.
"Big brother, I chased away the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger again yesterday!" the Titan Giant Ape said smugly.
"This guy has been eyeing our territory for a long time. It can grow stronger by devouring Spirit Beast. Although it only has 60,000 years of cultivation, it is in no way inferior to us."
The Sky Azure Bull Python was quite troubled because of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The two had fought for territory more than once or twice, and each time the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would become extremely powerful. If Spirit Beast as rare and exceptionally powerful as the other was allowed to continue to grow, it would eventually become a major threat.
Just as the Sky Azure Bull Python was deep in thought, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and the temperature of the lake where it was located rose.
"Big brother, look!"
The Titan Giant Ape tilted its neck back, shading itself as it gazed at the sky.
"That is..."
The Sky Azure Bull Python looked up and saw a meteor trailing a plume of smoke hurtling towards them.
"Second brother! Watch out!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python felt a chill run down its spine, for the aura seemed all too familiar.
As expected, the Titan Giant Ape was incredibly stubborn and ignored its elder brother's advice. It even swung its mountain-like fist and collided directly with the "meteor".
The flames dissipated, and the meteor that Flame Emperor had transformed into exploded in the chest of the Titan Giant Ape!
In an instant, the flames billowed steam, igniting the surrounding woods.
The Sky Azure Bull Python was overturned by the shockwave, causing a towering wave. After the flood extinguished the burning trees, a fiery figure condensed in mid-air.
"It's you! You really didn't die!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python raised its head, a pair of azure horns Entanglement with lightning, its eyes fixed on Flame Emperor with a wary gaze.
The Titan Giant Ape clutched its chest, sniffed, and smelled the aroma of roasting meat. It swallowed hard, looked down, and realized it was roasted alive.
" Flame Emperor! You dare to come again! Aren't you afraid that my brother and I will join forces to seal you away again?" The Titan Giant Ape roared, enduring the pain despite its injuries.
Flame Emperor Yan scoffed, dismissively saying, "This is just interest. You imprisoned me for a hundred years, almost causing my death. I still remember that debt."
After saying this, Flame Emperor's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Leave it!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was intelligent; it knew that there couldn't have been only one Flame Emperor, and that the person who rescued Flame Emperor that day must be hiding in the shadows.
The calm waters rippled, and rocks flew into the sky, Entanglement with the Sky Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder of the Sky Azure Bull Python, thus sealing the Flame Emperor.
Do you think I'd do the same thing a second time?
Flame Emperor's eyes were sharp, and he raised his hands high above his head.
In an instant, the sky was dyed red by flames, and meteors with trailing flames fell from the sky. The entire Star Dou Great Forest was about to be engulfed in flames.
Flame Emperor Yan himself was born from the primordial energy of heaven and earth, possessing the Extreme Fire attribute; his flames are not so easily extinguished.
"You can leave now!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python had no choice but to let Flame Emperor leave.
The boulder fell, creating a huge wave.
Flame Emperor Yan sneered repeatedly. Even if the Sky Azure Bull Python restarted the seal, it would be useless, because it was no longer restricted by this thing.
"Big brother! We must not let it go! Otherwise, wouldn't we be..." The Titan Giant Ape's expression changed drastically, flames scorching his skin, and a piercing pain spread throughout his body.
"Gorilla, your good days are coming to an end. I will take both of your lives with my own hands!"
Flame Emperor departed, condensing a flaming arrow that soared into the sky, gradually disappearing from sight before the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
"Brother, why did you let it go?"
The Titan Giant Ape submerged its entire body in the lake to alleviate the pain from its burning wounds.
"I can't keep it!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python shook its head, its expression more solemn than ever before. "There is an aura about it that makes my heart tremble. It is something I have never felt before. I am worried that when Flame Emperor Yan comes again, our good days will come to an end, just as it said."
"What should we do then?"
"Move place?"
Titan Giant Ape was slapped twice by the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail and said irritably, "Where else can we go if we leave here? We can't be stupid enough to suggest going to the human world outside like you did last time; that would only lead to our own demise!"
"We brothers have lived for 100,000 years, what difficulties haven't we encountered? Let's fight it!" The Titan Giant Ape pounded its chest, then hissed in pain.
Sky Azure Bull Python: "..."
I don't have a younger brother who's that stupid.
"Let's give it our all!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python frowned; this was the only option.
It looked up at the sky, gazing at the boundless blue horizon, and silently prayed that Sister Xiao Wu would never come back!
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ye Tianxing caught a lost little Soft Bone Rabbit, skinned it, removed its internal organs, lit a pile of firewood, brushed it with sesame oil, and roasted it to eat.
The rabbit meat had a golden and crispy skin, and its aroma wafted far and wide. Some of the Soft Bone Rabbit also gathered around after seeing their companions being roasted.
Ye Tianxing grinned mischievously as he tossed the roasted rabbits on the ground. One of them sniffed it, then took a bite. Soon after, more and more Soft Bone Rabbit gathered around.
In no time at all, the whole roasted Soft Bone Rabbit was devoured, and it was even its own kind that was eating it.
Ye Tianxing stomped his foot, and the Soft Bone Rabbit scattered in all directions.
"It's gnawed cleaner than a dog. Wouldn't Xiao Wu, that rabbit ancestor, be heartbroken if she saw this?" Ye Tianxing said with a wicked smile.
Just then, a burning arrow pierced the air and stopped in front of Ye Tianxing.
"How is the battle going?"
Flame Emperor returned to his original form, becoming a small, flickering flame.
"Severely injuring the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are very wary of me. In short, it's awesome!" The Flame Emperor has recovered his true strength. This sneak attack was successful, but he still felt unsatisfied. He would only truly avenge himself if he killed them both and made them into Ye Tianxing's Spirit Ring.
"Being able to severely injure the Titan Giant Ape is enough. Let's go."
Ye Tianxing slowly stood up, stepped on the Seven Star Sword, and Flame Emperor entered the Withered Wood Bow. Then he soared into the sky and flew into the high sky in a flash.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had nowhere else to go. As the eldest Sky Azure Bull Python said, they couldn't possibly move to the human world; that would be truly courting death.
Ye Tianxing will kill them both one day, keep the Spirit Ring for himself, and leave the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to his son.
Three days later.
Ye Tianxing returned to the Ye Clan after being away for more than half a month. Without him personally overseeing things, the Ye Clan operated normally, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
"Sect Master, you're finally back!" Niu Gao came upon hearing the news.
"Is nothing wrong with the sect?" Ye Tianxing asked.
"This..." Niu Gao stammered, "Sect Master, you should see it for yourself."
Ye Tianxing frowned and followed Niu Gao.
Upon entering the room, Ye Tianxing saw that Yang Wudi's body was covered in purplish-black hues and immediately recognized that he had been poisoned.
"How could Yang Wudi be poisoned when he already possessed the Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
Ye Tianxing murmured, then asked, "Where did you carry Yang Wudi back from?"
The disciple reported, "We found Elder Yang in the forest outside Elder Dugu's original residence."
Ye Tianxing immediately understood what was going on.
Helpless, Ye Tianxing cut his wrist and fed his own blood into Yang Wudi's body. Then he headed towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well -Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
The mountain is straight, and the green poison surrounding the entrance has now turned completely purplish-black, just like the poison Yang Wudi was poisoned with.
" Yang Wudi is truly invincible. I told him not to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but the old guy just wouldn't listen. As a result, he angered the little guys inside, and I have to go and calm them down."
Ye Tianxing sighed and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Jiaojiao. After some promises and comforting words, they finally resolved the internal conflict.
