Looking at the four men and two women before him.
"I already heard about it from Little Fifth. I must thank you two fellow Daoists for saving her." Fox Emperor Bai Zhi stepped forward and expressed his gratitude.
Next, Bai Qian's family came forward one after another to thank Shi Yongheng and the other.
The two of them politely responded to each in turn.
This debt of gratitude was enough for them to treat Shi Yongheng and the other as honored guests.
"During your stay in Qingqiu, if you need anything, you may ask Little Fifth. She can arrange it all."
"Thank you." Willow Deity gave the Fox Emperor a slight bow in gratitude.
Zhe Yan then said, "May I ask for the honorific names of you two fellow Daoists?"
"My apologies for the discourtesy. I am Willow Deity."
"Shi Yongheng."
"Haha, so it is Fellow Daoist Willow Deity and Fellow Daoist Yongheng. Please forgive our shortcomings."
Time passed leisurely. While Shi Yongheng and Willow Deity lived their days in comfort, the situation outside was changing at a rapid pace.
The Celestial Tribe and the Winged Clan officially sounded the call to war.
As the God of War of the Heaven Realm, Mo Yuan led an army of two hundred thousand into a decisive battle against the Winged Clan by the Weak Water.
As the fighting grew increasingly fierce, the tense atmosphere outside also affected the two travelers.
Bai Qian of Qingqiu had participated in this battle as well. Though outsiders did not know that Si Yin was Bai Qian of Qingqiu, those within Qingqiu knew.
Worried for Bai Qian's safety, the Fox Emperor had even sent his fourth son, Bai Zhen, to protect her.
By the Weak Water.
Several hundred thousand troops faced one another.
