Hong Lie arrived at Kunlun Mountain for the first time, but because Jiang Ziya said he was his mount, no one said anything else; he was just a mount.

Guangchengzi stepped forward, holding a peculiar small flag in his hand.

Guangchengzi infused a bit of mana into the flag, then said, "This flag will be placed ten thousand miles away. Whoever retrieves it the fastest wins."

Shen Gongbao nodded, and Jiang Ziya also indicated he had no objections.

Just then, Shen Gongbao suddenly lowered his body, and in the next moment, he transformed into a huge Golden Leopard!

At this sight, Jiang Ziya's eyes widened!

He had never seen this before, seeing Shen Gongbao actually turn into a leopard...

"Oh dear, Shen Gongbao's cultivation is actually so high! He can even transform into an animal. I... I really seem to be inferior to him..."

Guangchengzi's lips twitched upon hearing this, and he said faintly, "Junior Brother, this... isn't a transformation into another object; he was originally a leopard spirit!"

But at this moment, the Golden Leopard transformed from Shen Gongbao kicked off with its four hooves, BOOM!

It shot out hundreds of meters in an instant, constantly soaring into the air, a gust of Demonic Wind beneath its feet lifting it up. You must know that Shen Gongbao has only cultivated for a few decades and has not yet reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, so he can only control the wind and not ride the clouds; otherwise, his speed would be even faster.

Seeing Jiang Ziya still in a daze, Guangchengzi hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Ziya! Chase him!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya also suddenly reacted.

That's right, he still had to compete with Shen Gongbao.

At this moment, Ao Lie suddenly crouched down, and in the next moment, he transformed into a five-meter-tall golden giant eagle, its wings spanning over twenty meters!

"Junior Brother Ziya's mount is so mighty!"

"Indeed! I feel like the mount has a trace of Roc Bloodline!"

Hong Lie sneered inwardly. I'm acting as a mount for now, all for the sake of my Lord Uncle's grand plan!

When I succeed, all of you Chan Sect trash will be executed!

However, Jiang Ziya had to win this time, so when Jiang Ziya got on, Hong Lie suddenly accelerated, soaring into the air!

Jiang Ziya only felt the wind rushing past his ears; the speed was too fast!

He had no choice but to hold onto the reins tightly, feeling very uncomfortable, a wave of discomfort assailing him, but Hong Lie couldn't care less.

He couldn't lose!

He had to win!

How fast was the Roc Bloodline? Even if Shen Gongbao was a leopard spirit!

In less than a moment, he saw the shadow of a Golden Leopard ahead.

But Hong Lie didn't slow down at all, his pair of huge wings flapping rapidly.

Jiang Ziya exclaimed in fright, "Aiyah! We're going to crash! We're going to crash! The one in front! Make way! Make way!"

Shen Gongbao was running happily, after all, he could win this time!

But hearing Jiang Ziya's voice, he was stunned. This Jiang Shang does have some ability...

So fast?

Make way?

Bah! I won't! I just won't! What can you do?

Not only did he not make way, but he also used a smaller version of the heaven and earth transformation, becoming three or four times larger!

But even so, it was just a leopard four or five meters in size.

Hong Lie noticed that Shen Gongbao had grown larger, and he immediately roared in dissatisfaction, "Hey, don't block me! Or you'll bear the consequences!"

After speaking, he continued to fly.

Slow down?

Impossible!

Since reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm, he hadn't flown at full speed yet. This time it was so enjoyable, he had to enjoy it to the fullest!

Shen Gongbao heard this and thought, something's not right!

This isn't Jiang Ziya speaking!

Who is it?

Turning his leopard head, he discovered that Jiang Ziya was sitting on a huge golden giant eagle!

That giant eagle's cultivation seemed to be extremely profound, its demonic aura soaring to the sky!

In any case, it was much stronger than Shen Gongbao's demonic aura!

Shen Gongbao was startled and ordered the Demonic Wind to speed up again...

Speed up!

But no matter how fast he was, he wasn't as fast as Hong Lie!

The golden eagle's large wings suddenly flapped, and the metal-like wings slapped Shen Gongbao's back with a smack...

Shen Gongbao felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer on his back!

He screamed and fell down.

Jiang Ziya was dumbfounded, "Brother Hong Lie... it seems we hit Shen Gongbao..."

Hong Lie didn't think much of it, and even spat, "Tsk tsk, that kid is stupid! He suddenly sped up! I'm someone who loves my children, I calculated the time perfectly, we could have flown over his head, but he sped up, so he had to be hit, the Heavenly Dao... Oh dear, the sect leader's uncle said, this is the will of heaven, we cultivators must obey the heavens and respond to fate, I have no choice but to reluctantly work hard!"

Jiang Ziya's mouth twitched, "You've worked hard, let Shen Gongbao thank you later."

Hong Lie nodded, "Doing good deeds without leaving a name, I am just your mount!"

Jiang Ziya felt that Hong Lie's shameless way of speaking... was a bit like the Western saints the sect leader talked about?

Tens of thousands of miles away, Jiang Ziya took the flag and immediately rushed back. Tens of thousands of miles was just as simple as drinking a mouthful of water for Hong Lie.

When they turned back...

Shen Gongbao...

Was knocked off the clouds by a wing, falling and getting disoriented. He finally got up, cursing Jiang Ziya for being too shameless!!

Actually riding a mount?

Simply too shameless!!

Let the fellow disciples judge!

He once again rode the Demonic Wind, but just then, a gust of wind blew from behind.

The sound of the mount seems... to be coming again!

"Oh dear! It's you again!"

Hong Lie cursed inwardly, is this what the sect leader's uncle calls a setup?

Shen Gongbao was startled and quickly slowed down.

"Bang!"

The huge golden eagle wings fell again!

Shen Gongbao was once again blown away by a wing...

Before he could stand firm, he was knocked away by Hong Lie.

Jiang Ziya felt a little embarrassed since they were fellow disciples, and said, "We bumped into Shen Gongbao again... alas!"

Hong Lie shook his head and sighed, "It's really fate!! You know, Old Jiang, I calculated it well, I cooperated with him and accelerated, but who knew this kid not only didn't accelerate, but also slowed down. I've never yielded the road since I was born, he doesn't have enough luck..."

Jiang Ziya was always in contact with the sanctimonious Guangchengzi in Kunlun Mountain, and had never encountered someone as... shameless and eloquent as Hong Lie...

But he felt that he was being true to himself!

"Brother Hong Lie, you're right! It's all Shen Gongbao's fault!"

Hong Lie was pleased, "Of course, it's not my fault, this kid is unlucky. Besides, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to be chased by a demon who hasn't even reached the Heavenly Immortal level?? Alas!"

Jiang Ziya: ...

Shen Gongbao stood up limping, and returned to Kunlun Mountain.

At this time, he was extremely embarrassed, his face was swollen from the fall, his hair was disheveled, and he looked like a punching bag from a distance!

But at this time on Kunlun Mountain, Jiang Ziya was holding a flag and standing beside Guangchengzi.

Shen Gongbao was about to cry, and pursed his lips in grievance.

"Eldest Brother! This is not fair! Jiang Ziya is using a mount!"

Yu Ding said lightly, "What's unfair? Mount? If you think it's not good, then compete again!"

Shen Gongbao: ...

Compete?

How to compete??

He sensed that it was the Roc Bloodline!

A Heavenly Immortal-level Roc Bloodline! It would require a Golden Immortal-level demon to surpass it.

Let him ride a Golden Immortal?

Did he dare?

Besides, who would help?

Taiyi Zhenren sighed, "Can't find one? Let me tell you, networking is also a skill! You can't even find a Golden Immortal-level mount, you're a real failure." After saying that, he shook his head and left.

Shen Gongbao cursed inwardly!

Taiyi!!

What are you bragging about?

Do you have one? Do you have a Golden Immortal-level mount?
