Kunpeng's wings struck the barrier around the cave dwelling. Nuwa's cultivation was unfathomably profound, and the barrier she had set up was extremely complex. Kunpeng's attack felt completely like hitting cotton—soft and yielding.
"Monster-Recruiting Banner... Damn it."
Kunpeng's emotions were a tangled mess. He had only just acknowledged his new master, and before he had even settled in, with his injuries not yet healed, he had to watch helplessly as she crafted the Monster-Recruiting Banner?
The Monster-Recruiting Banner had been created by Nuwa. With just a shake, it could make every monster in the Three Realms obey her.
All members of the monster race would have to come and heed her orders.
How could Kunpeng, a member of the monster race, not want to stop such a treasure?
Even if he wanted to leave in the future, he could not take a single step away unless Nuwa agreed.
"Damn it! She came up with such a despicable trick just to make me submit!"
Kunpeng clenched his fists.
Killing intent filled his eyes. Since Nuwa wanted to create the Monster-Recruiting Banner, she could not blame him for showing no mercy.
Mana gathered in his palm, and he struck toward the cave dwelling again.
Meanwhile, at the Sanxiao Fairies' location, they had followed Shen Hongfei's orders and finished building a nest for Kunpeng.
The enormous palace remained as magnificent as ever, occupying half of Fengqi Mountain.
Apart from the cave dwelling, this luxurious palace was all that Fengqi Mountain had.
At that moment, mana gradually began to gather throughout Fengqi Mountain. They quickly sat cross-legged and sensed the surging aura around them.
Whether it was because of the cave's gathering power or the changes in the sky, rays of three-colored light appeared around them, protecting them.
Many warm currents continuously poured into their bodies, filling every meridian, yet showed no sign of bursting them.
As the three-colored light grew increasingly dazzling, a loud boom rang out outside the cave dwelling.
They quickly opened their eyes and looked toward Kunpeng in the distance, who was striking the entrance of the cave dwelling.
Kunpeng's figure was enormous, his long black feathers emitting a chilling, sinister gleam.
"This is bad! Kunpeng is attacking the cave dwelling."
The Sanxiao Fairies swiftly transformed into three streaks of shadow and arrived at the entrance.
Before their figures had even steadied, a powerful pressure instantly bore down on them. If not for the mana surrounding them, they would likely have fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Nuwa was refining a weapon. Her powerful aura of mana enveloped them and rapidly increased the speed of their cultivation.
This mana had still not dissipated. Now, they were not only absorbing it to resist Kunpeng, but their strength was also steadily rising.
The energies merged, and an imposing aura surged toward the Sanxiao Fairies.
"Rumble!"
The Sanxiao Fairies were violently flung away, and a sweet, bloody taste spread through their mouths.
The mana that had originally surrounded them quickly formed a huge net, enveloping the three fairies and blocking the attack.
This mana was extremely unfamiliar and did not belong to them, yet it had firmly caught Kunpeng's blow.
Qiongxiao steadied herself and glared furiously at Kunpeng.
"Kunpeng, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Of course I'm stopping my master from continuing her refinement! Take a look at what she's making!"
"Whatever Her Ladyship refines has nothing to do with you or me!"
"Nothing to do with me? What a joke! If she didn't want to control me here completely, why would she refine it?"
"That's because..."
In truth, the Sanxiao Fairies were not very clear about it either.
However, whenever Nuwa refined something, she had her own purpose. She would never refine things casually.
"Kunpeng, you have to trust Her Ladyship. Since she rescued you, she won't harm you!"
"Rescued me? You people are full of lies. I won't believe you!"
White light flashed across Kunpeng's wings. Upon closer inspection, his countless feathers looked like blades, making one shudder with fear.
"Kunpeng, you ungrateful monster!"
The Sanxiao Fairies formed another array, and a powerful aura pressed toward Kunpeng.
"Ungrateful? Your lady was the one who attacked me first!"
"I advise you to leave! After all, I won't keep showing you mercy again and again!"
Kunpeng's cold laugh echoed around them. The Sanxiao Fairies were only at the Golden Immortal Peak. In terms of strength, how could they possibly compare with him?
"While I still have no intention of killing you, get out of my sight! Otherwise..."
Kunpeng lifted a wing. A fierce, icy wind swept across the array and struck directly at the formation rushing toward him.
"Boom."
The colorful array instantly turned to powder,
and the Sanxiao Fairies who had cast the spell fell heavily to the ground.
Blood gushed out and splattered across the ground.
They stared intently at Kunpeng. If he had not held back, those feather blades would likely have already landed on them.
They would have died in an instant.
In fact, from the moment the Sanxiao Fairies began attacking until now, Kunpeng had not used any ruthless techniques. If he had, they would have been unable to withstand him and would have died directly at his hands.
Kunpeng flapped his wings and dove downward.
At that moment, the sky rumbled. Beneath the originally black clouds, lightning flashed and thunder crashed down directly onto the cave dwelling.
The surroundings were unbearably gloomy. Violent winds howled everywhere, making even the enormous Kunpeng somewhat unable to endure it.
Di Jun, who was hurrying over from the distance, shuddered. He could feel the oppressive force coming from all around. It was not only him—even everyone beside him felt their hearts sink.
The closer Fuxi came, the more tightly his brows knitted.
The aura of mana around him grew increasingly dense, and the unease in his heart grew heavier as well.
His younger sister was gentle and quiet. It was impossible for her to refine such a Magic Treasure of the monster race. If Di Jun found out, his status would plummet.
"No, I have to hurry back and stop this refinement."
Otherwise...
A dark glint flashed through Fuxi's eyes.
He had originally not wanted to deal with that brat, but now, the little fellow in his belly was becoming increasingly reckless.
His figure blurred, and he swiftly flew toward Fengqi Mountain.
Nuwa continued focusing all her attention on refining the Magic Treasure.
Her gaze shifted toward the Heaven-Refining Furnace. The furnace's flames grew increasingly fierce, and scorching heat spread outward.
The Golden Gourd crashed wildly around inside the furnace, producing a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds.
With one hand, Nuwa stabilized the Heaven-Refining Furnace. With the other, she used mana to surround the area, preventing the furnace's fierce flames from burning her or Shen Hongfei in her belly.
"Mother, you need to hurry."
The unease in Shen Hongfei's heart grew increasingly apparent. He had a feeling that something unpleasant was about to happen.
He warily watched his surroundings. Although there was still nothing but amniotic fluid around him, his aura extended beyond the cave dwelling.
Outside.
Kunpeng flapped his wings but did not dare advance, because the imposing aura radiating from his surroundings made it impossible for even him to approach recklessly.
Especially the heavenly lightning that struck down at any moment—it completely suppressed his desire to move forward.
Kunpeng refused to give up. He descended, and with a flash of his figure, he arrived directly at the entrance of the cave dwelling and slammed his palm down.
"Rumble!"
The entrance shook violently.
Nuwa's figure trembled as well, and Shen Hongfei's heart stirred.
As expected, that Kunpeng refused to give up. After seeing the Monster-Recruiting Banner she was refining, he wanted to stop her by force.
So that was how it was.
The corner of Shen Hongfei's mouth curled up, and energy circulated around him.
An oppressive aura seeped out from Nuwa's belly and gradually entered Kunpeng's mind.
He was only a baby and temporarily had no way to leave his mother's belly. He could only choose to communicate through mana.
