The Green Phoenix fluttered her wings and looked uneasily at Cangyuan and Bixiao ahead of her.
She felt anxious, afraid that the two before her would hand her over to the Dragon Clan.
In truth, the Green Phoenix was not certain of these two Jie Sect disciples' status within the Saint's Great Sect.
They might be Personal Disciples entrusted with their master's legacy.
Or they might be disregarded Registered Disciples.
Cangyuan's expression turned cold. Though the Black Dragon spoke politely, Cangyuan could hear the provocation in his words.
In an instant, Cangyuan fixed his calm gaze on the Black Dragon and said lightly, "If you cannot understand reason, this poor daoist knows a little martial arts and has a few Spiritual Treasures as well."
With her hands on her hips, Bixiao said fiercely, "Your Dragon Clan truly does not know the meaning of death. Do you think this is still the era of the three clans? How dare you threaten our Jie Sect!"
"If you know what is good for you, get lost now. Otherwise... my junior brother happens to be lacking a mount, and I think you would suit the role quite well."
Cangyuan shouted coldly, "Scram!"
Having been rebuked so bluntly, especially before all his subordinates, the Black Dragon found himself unable to save face.
It was far too humiliating.
"Then I'll scram!"
The Black Dragon roared, transformed into his True Dragon Dao Body, and plunged headfirst into the sea.
He vanished in the blink of an eye.
Cangyuan, Bixiao, and even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals brought by the Black Dragon were all dumbfounded.
Brother, if you were going to leave, then leave. Why did you roar so loudly? We thought you were about to stand tall, but this was all you had?
Bixiao said, "Junior Brother, was that dragon here to make us laugh?"
Cangyuan shrugged. "Perhaps."
When the ten thousand Aquatic Clan members saw that even their True Dragon lord had fled, they naturally did not dare linger.
After offering an apology, they immediately fled into the sea.
This was only a minor interlude, and neither Cangyuan nor Bixiao took it to heart.
They set off for Three Immortal Island.
Not long after.
Three Immortal Island.
Cangyuan and Bixiao returned.
When Yunxiao and Qiongxiao saw Bixiao riding the Green Phoenix, they were both stunned for a moment.
Bixiao, an Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal, was actually riding a divine bird at the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?
Was that reasonable?
Yunxiao looked toward Cangyuan and asked, "Junior Brother, where did this Green Phoenix come from?"
Before Cangyuan could speak, Bixiao eagerly hurried over and vividly recounted their journey to her two sisters.
Yunxiao naturally knew her little sister's temperament and suspected there had been some exaggeration, so she looked to Cangyuan.
Cangyuan smiled and nodded.
Yunxiao's expression was gentle as jade as she looked gratefully at Cangyuan. "Thank you, Dao Brother, for taking Bixiao out to find this opportunity."
"It was nothing."
Cangyuan did not care much about it.
After all, he had already obtained the objective of this journey.
What had fallen into Bixiao's hands was no more than a drop in the bucket.
Cangyuan said, "I still need to go out for some time. I have brought Bixiao back to you, Senior Sister, so keep an eye on her. If she gets lost, do not blame your junior brother."
At those words, Bixiao's cheerful mood instantly soured.
Yunxiao covered her mouth and chuckled.
Qiongxiao cast a teasing glance at Bixiao, then seemed to think of something and looked at Cangyuan, repeatedly signaling him with her eyes.
But Qiongxiao was flirting with a blind man. Cangyuan simply did not look at her.
Suddenly, Cangyuan seemed to remember something.
In his previous life, the Sanxiao Sisters' strongest technique and greatest reliance had undoubtedly been the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.
The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation had achieved a brilliant record during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
To give a simple example.
The Chan Teach Twelve Golden Immortals entered the formation together, only to have their Three Flowers atop their heads severed and their Five Qi in the Chest dispersed, falling from lofty Grand Unity Immortals to mortals.
They became famous in a single battle.
The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation truly deserved its title as one of the Ten Great Killing Formations of the Primordial World.
To form the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure Primordial Golden Dipper was the main core, but another Spiritual Treasure was equally indispensable!
That was the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors!
A Top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure forged from Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragons.
It formed the ultimate killing force within the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation!
Cangyuan took out the corpses of the Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragons he had slain when he previously saved the Sanxiao Sisters and Zhao Gongming in the East Sea.
The enormous corpses of the Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragons had not decayed despite death. Dense Yin Yang laws coiled around them, their spiritual essence had not dispersed, and their innate baleful aura was difficult to erase. Yet this also created an incomparably precious, peerless sharpness!
At the sight of the Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragon corpses, the Sanxiao Sisters recalled unpleasant memories.
It had been the first time since their Form Transformation that they had fled across the entire East Sea in such a miserable state.
Had Cangyuan not come to their aid, they likely would have...
Cangyuan did not know what the three sisters were thinking. He said, "These two Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragon corpses are supreme materials for refining Spiritual Treasures. Later, you may ask Master to refine them for you."
"Oh, right."
Cangyuan took out another thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves. "These are leaves from the Supreme Innate Spiritual Root Dao Comprehension Tea Tree. Keep some for yourselves and offer the rest to Master."
When asking someone for help, how could one possibly go empty-handed?
Perhaps Master did not need his disciples to offer him anything, but observing the proper courtesies would always be beneficial.
Qiongxiao looked at the Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragon corpses, feeling something stir within her. She looked toward Yunxiao, her Eldest Sister, and said, "Eldest Sister, I feel that these Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragons are fated with us."
Bixiao nodded along. "Mm-hm, but why did we not sense it when they were chasing us before?"
Yunxiao's eyes were tender as water as she looked at Cangyuan, her voice soft and moving. "We have received far too much kindness from Junior Brother. Yunxiao has no way to repay it. If Junior Brother needs anything in the future, simply call for Yunxiao."
"Of course."
Cangyuan smiled and accepted directly, without saying things like "There is no need" or "What are you saying?"
"I still have matters to attend to. Farewell, three Senior Sisters."
After saying this, Cangyuan once again controlled the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure Heart Piercing Lock and departed from Three Immortal Island.
After Cangyuan left, Yunxiao put away the thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves and the Innate Yin-Yang Flood Dragon corpses. Looking at her two younger sisters, she solemnly instructed, "Second Sister, little sister, we must never forget junior brother's kindness. If junior brother needs us in the future, even if we must brave fire and water, we will help him."
Qiongxiao nodded. "Understood, Eldest Sister."
Bixiao, however, was lost in thought. "Where is Junior Brother going? Why could he not take me with him?"
Then Bixiao was struck on the head.
"Eldest Sister, that hurts."
Bixiao hugged her head and pretended to be pitiful.
Yunxiao withdrew her hand irritably. "Stop pretending. As if I do not know you."
Elsewhere.
After leaving Three Immortal Island, Cangyuan followed the instinctive perception in his origin and flew in a certain direction.
"That direction should be the East Sea. Legend says that the Saint Nuwa attained enlightenment by the East Sea, molded earth to create the Human Race, received immense merit from Heaven, and attained the Saint Fruit Position in one stroke."
"Later, though the Saint Nuwa moved the Human Race to live beneath Mount Buzhou, after so many years of reproduction and development, traces of the Human Race have once again appeared by the East Sea."
"Although I underwent Form Transformation from a Spiritual Treasure, my essence is still that of the Human Race."
Although Cangyuan had lived in the Prehistoric World for several Yuanhui, the experiences of more than twenty years from his previous life and the red education he had received remained deeply etched in his heart, constantly reminding him that he too was Human Race.
Whenever he thought of the extermination calamity that the Human Race would soon face, Cangyuan felt miserable.
Yet he could do nothing.
With his current Mid Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, how could it be easy for him to protect the Human Race in that future calamity?
