With the enthusiastic cooperation of the nine-man group covered in flames, and Officer Ye's resolve to sacrifice part of his image, the key mission in the Burial Spirit Ruins—"Bring happiness to Kong Xuan's godmother"—was in full swing.

After all, she had been cut off from the outside world for nearly fifty thousand years. Godmother needed time to readjust to the times, and this was the perfect opportunity to earn some impression points.

Having long been a director, Officer Ye personally stepped in as the lead actor to satisfy his godmother's spiritual needs. He launched a highly controllable chase against the fleeing nine, one that caused minimal damage but created an immensely grand spectacle.

For a time, the scene rang with the nine-man group's wails and Officer Ye's villainous lines as he bared his fangs and claws, punctuated now and then by several "Heh heh heh"s.

"All right, all right. Little Huan Kong, you've played enough. Let them go."

After about a quarter-hour of torment, a voice as sweet as heavenly music rang beside the flaming nine-man group's ears, bringing them salvation.

Ye Kong immediately answered Kong Xuan with a "Fine," recalled the Little Fire Phoenix chasing the nine into his hand, and said with great reluctance, "Hmph! Consider yourselves lucky today. I'll let you off for Master's Wife's sake!"

"Finally, we're saved!"

The Four Great Vajras' golden fur had been burned black, while barely any of Zong Qingfeng's elderly gray hair remained. As though granted a pardon, they all collapsed to the ground in relief.

Kong Xuan gave Ye Kong an approving look that said, "Not bad. Do it again next time," then lightly waved the Source Lord Pure World Fan with her slender hand, healing the nine's wounds that hurt only their skin, not their bones.

After getting up, the nine repeatedly thanked Kong Xuan, then grinned and apologized to the dark-faced Officer Ye. Thus, a perfect happy ending was achieved, and they cheerfully returned to the surface.

What greatly pleased Officer Ye was that Han Shan, Zong Teng, Mo Feng, and the others were still diligently standing guard around the area with their underlings, showing no signs of slackening. He could arrange more scripts for them later.

Zong Qingfeng had completed his transformation into Zong Teng and decisively summoned the Northern Darkness Dragon Kun Tribe, Azure Peng Tribe, and the other subordinate races of the Kunpeng Tribe to pay their respects to Officer Ye.

After a touching scene of "Officer Ye's kindness can never be repaid," the grand procession boarded the Flying Boat together.

They flew toward the final destination of their journey—the Burial Beast Abyss, where the essence blood of an Ancient Desolate Beast was buried.

Several days later, Lu Lutong, who was piloting the Flying Boat, noticed something unusual and immediately reported it to Officer Ye. "Reporting to the Chief Officer, this pilot has discovered several clustered towns below. They appear to be temporary gathering areas built by Spirit Beasts. There are various Trade Zones within them, making them of some intelligence value."

In the co-pilot's seat, Lu Duowen operated a special Compass contributed by Miss Chi Hongwu and promptly reported as well. "Reporting to the Chief Officer, the radar area has detected Phoenix Tribe experts below. They appear to be from the Ice Phoenix Tribe. Please issue instructions!"

Seated not far behind them, Officer Ye had been playing Landlord with his godmother and Bro Peng. Taking the chance to draw a Little Joker, he coughed twice, stood up, glanced around, and said solemnly, "Notify Zong Teng and Mo Feng of the First Mobile Group. Prepare to bring men with this officer, Lu Hou, and Squadron Leader Zong Qingfeng to enter from the front and have a look at the excitement."

"Han Shan and Xu Kun of the Second Mobile Group will depart in advance and enter from the east to gather intelligence."

"Huo Zhi and Chi Hongwu of the Third Mobile Group will divide their units into smaller groups and enter from the west and north. We'll rendezvous in the center of the town!"

"Furthermore, the Northern Darkness Dragon Kun Tribe, Azure Peng Tribe, and the other subordinate races of the Kunpeng Tribe will infiltrate from every direction. Await this officer's orders and act when the opportunity arises!"

"Remember our operational principle: sneak quietly into the city, don't swagger around! I'll draw as much fire as possible from the front for them."

"Yes!"

After receiving the orders, Lu Lutong and Lu Duowen immediately carried them out, sending messages to the beasts relaxing in the various entertainment areas and assigning them their respective tasks.

Kong Xuan put down the rocket she held and elegantly crossed her hands over her chest. Watching her junior command the situation with great interest, she smiled. "Little Huan Kong is putting on quite a convincing act. Looks like the essence blood of that Little Desolate Beast, Little Vermilion Bird, and Little Azure Dragon won't escape your grasp."

Ye Kong, who was about to leave with Lu Hou, immediately waved his hand and smiled modestly. "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. This Chief Officer can only talk so boldly because I have you and Bro Peng backing me up."

"You are the pillar that holds up the sky and the stabilizing needle of the sea on this Flying Boat!"

"Don't drag this palace into the things you've cooked up. Your Bro Peng only got the title of Great Commander because he was young. This palace is no child."

Kong Xuan glanced at Ye Kong and Peng Chaoyang disdainfully before continuing, "This palace has sensed the aura of a junior from the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe below. Her talent seems passable."

"Do as your senior brother said: tempt her with benefits first, then threaten her. If she still refuses, knock her out and tie her up. Leave the rest to this palace."

"Master's Wife, isn't that... a little inappropriate? How about I design a few more scripts?"

Ye Kong had not expected this Master's Wife to be so fierce even toward her own juniors. He began to deeply sympathize with the Spirit Beasts who had lived in the same era as her.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

"In this palace's era, plenty of Spirit Beasts who saw someone they liked would simply knock them out, tie them up, and bring them home to marry them."

Kong Xuan smiled meaningfully. "Little Huan Kong, you're still young. You don't understand the world of Spirit Beasts."

"Sometimes, simple and brutal methods work better. Back then, this palace most enjoyed using the Source Lord Fan to reason with people."

"Whether Dragon Tribe or Phoenix Tribe, no matter how arrogantly these people usually hold their heads high, they recognize strength."

Watching Ye Kong stiffly voice his agreement, Kong Xuan was very satisfied. Like a villainous queen, she continued encouraging the talented junior to do bad things. "A Bloodline Link is practically the same kind of thing as marriage. The Phoenix Tribe and other Flying Bird Tribes consider themselves noble and look down on humans, but you are this palace's disciple and possess the aptitude of Nine Spirit Meridians. There is no question of being unworthy."

"If the current Young Clan Leader of the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe were not still in seclusion, and if this palace's cultivation had recovered, this palace would have taken you directly to the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe. Those juniors today surely cannot compare to this palace at the height of my power."

"Yes, yes, yes. You're the elder, so everything you say is right. My knowledge is too shallow; I've failed to live up to your expectations."

"Don't worry. I'll start plotting something big soon. As long as I can find her, I'll get to work!"

Accustomed to stirring up trouble and making money, Ye Kong felt for the first time that his heart was not black enough. He looked at the domineering, radiant Kong Xuan with a face full of admiration. This was what it meant for your mother to always be your mother!

Kong Xuan wore an expression of "You can be taught" and nodded slightly. "This palace will wait and see."

"This is a pretty big matter. I'll need to ask Bro Peng for a favor later."

Ye Kong fixed his gaze on Peng Chaoyang, who had been smirking for quite a while, his heart full of wicked ideas.

You've been having a good time laughing, haven't you? I can't be the only one doing embarrassing things. I'll make you cry later.

Peng Chaoyang was just about to flash away in a streak of golden light when an Imperial Edict came from beside him. "Little Golden Peng, from now on, you will be your little junior brother's Tool Person. Cooperate properly."

"Yes, Aunt Xuan. I guarantee that I will fully cooperate with Little Junior Brother's actions."

Peng Chaoyang froze, answering Kong Xuan without the slightest hesitation. He then gave Ye Kong an unfriendly look. Watch yourself, brat!

Ignoring this meaningless threat, Ye Kong bid Kong Xuan farewell and led Lu Hou and the others, who had been covering their ears and waiting for a long time, out of the cockpit.

For this operation, Officer Ye was once again dressed in his customary green robe and black bamboo hat, walking at the very front. Lu Hou and Zong Qingfeng guarded him on either side like two Guardians, their imposing and powerful presence drawing bursts of amazement.

"There are many Spirit Beasts here. Once Han Shan and the others finish gathering intelligence and are about to rendezvous with us, you two will fire Signal Flares into the sky and quickly summon all subordinate races to gather!"

Ye Kong watched in all directions and listened carefully, deciding that the traffic here met the conditions for stirring up trouble.

"Boss, are you commanding an army again? Who are we dealing with this time? Those mangy birds from the Ice Phoenix Tribe, or Kong Ling from the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe?"

Lu Hou was delighted whenever there was trouble to be had, golden light gleaming in his eyes. Flames also burned in the eyes of Zong Qingfeng, Zong Teng, and Mo Feng.

The Mo Feng siblings, with their special backgrounds, were incredibly excited. They thought that if another Public Trial Assembly was held this time, they had to charge to the front.

Ye Kong shook his head, pulled out a huge pile of red and green decorative props from his Mustard Seed Bracelet, and urged Tool Person Peng Chaoyang to speed up the work. "We'll discuss that later. Today, we're holding the Spirit Beast Alliance Oath Conference to unite more Spirit Beasts and cause trouble for the Evil Tribe. Everyone, get to work."

"Yes, Boss!"

The others accepted their orders despite not fully understanding them. They knew very well that they could not fathom the Chief Officer's way of thinking. All they had to do was follow the Chief Officer and stir up trouble.

"What theme should we use this time...?"

Looking at the already erected platform, Officer Ye, with countless plans in mind, fell into deep thought.
