The Three Clan Leaders!

He hadn't expected the man to be so brazen. Wasn't he practically offering to deliver the treasure right into his hands?

"If that's the case, I'll take it."

Shi Qilin was so furious his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. But the next moment, a golden shadow flashed across the sky. Yuanfeng had been keeping an eye on the situation all along.

When she noticed that Ancestral Dragon had also gone over, she couldn't help shaking her head with a sigh. One careless step could bring a lifetime of regret.

Ancestral Dragon was simply too impulsive. If he wanted to join forces with Shi Qilin here to defeat Xie Fang, he would inevitably provoke him to some degree.

Anyway, Ancestral Dragon didn't care about any of that now, so Yuanfeng decided to keep her hands off. To her surprise, the younger Qilin had actually come to her door, pleading for help.

The people outside didn't know whether they should let him in, so they kept glancing into the room. But the person inside remained silent. She certainly wasn't going to interfere this time.

Xie Fang naturally knew where Yuanfeng stood, so he wasn't worried at all about the Qilin who had run off. He would take care of those remnants himself. It was only a matter of time.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to help me and turn against him, I won't mind sparing your younger generation. That way, you won't be left without an heir. What do you say?"

Shi Qilin had never believed that Xie Fang would make things difficult for him, so he hadn't taken the matter seriously.

But Xie Fang simply raised a hand and waved it. Half of Buzhou Mountain was gone. Shi Qilin was astonished at the sight, but didn't say a word.

He should be more cautious this time, but that didn't mean he should betray Ancestral Dragon outright.

The two of them had fought for tens of thousands of years, both trying to annex the other's territory.

But now, in the face of Xie Fang, they had formed an alliance.

"Then let's try someone else. Ancestral Dragon, if you agree with me, I'll give you that treasure from before—the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner."

Hearing how unconcerned Xie Fang sounded, Ancestral Dragon felt jealousy rise in him again. The few things he cared about most were precisely the things Xie Fang had stepped on. He just had to poke at his sore spots.

Before, Ancestral Dragon would have flown into a rage and attacked. But after their last fight, he had gradually learned his lesson.

Xie Fang was not someone to underestimate. Especially after going tens of thousands of years without meeting him, Ancestral Dragon knew he had to be more cautious than ever.

"Look, even after I've said all that, he still isn't planning to attack me. Don't you understand? He wants you to go first and test how strong I am now."

Shi Qilin hesitated and glanced at Ancestral Dragon beside him. The other man waved his hand, his face full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe Shi Qilin would say that.

Meanwhile, Yuanfeng had taken a different approach. Since they had already made their intentions clear, she couldn't be too quick to dismiss them now. If they truly had the ability, she shouldn't waste time holding them back.

But the area where the three were fighting kept expanding, until they had even reached the other two territories. The people on Yuanfeng's land knew what was happening without even leaving their homes. One could imagine how fierce the battle was.

"I see you're still relying on the same two tricks after all these years. I thought you'd be much stronger."

Ancestral Dragon taunted the man before him, but Xie Fang didn't mind in the slightest. The more happily he laughed now, the sooner Ancestral Dragon would learn how formidable he was.

After they had fought for a while, however, Xie Fang realized that there really seemed to be something on Buzhou Mountain that could suppress his abilities.

Otherwise, why had they been fighting for so long without a clear winner? He promptly sent Yuanfeng a message, asking her to bring Mo Wu over. Along the way, Mo Wu looked around curiously. Yuanfeng smiled and patted his head.

"Come on. He's probably eager to see you."

Mo Wu nodded to Yuanfeng, then left through the air.

"I can find my own way..."

His voice faded into the distance, leaving Yuanfeng feeling a little wistful. If she wanted to cross that final threshold and rise further, she would have to go through this group of people.

The area in the sky was rather empty, though. She hadn't seen anyone along the way when, in the next instant, a cold gleam flashed by. It was a sword, flying straight toward her forehead.

Fortunately, someone from Yuanfeng's side was following him. They intervened at once and stopped the sword. No one had expected this to happen.

"Are you all right?"

Mo Wu saw that she was a young woman, but her strength seemed several times greater than his. Shame appeared on his face.

"I'm fine..."

She then grabbed him and sped toward Xie Fang. So she was a phoenix in her true form. In that case, a Qilin like him and a phoenix like her made quite a fitting pair. While Mo Wu was lost in thought, they had already arrived at their destination.

The blazing scene before him left Mo Wu stunned. This was no Buzhou Mountain—it was a battlefield. He didn't want to stay in a place like this. Just as he was about to escape, the person beside him pulled him right back.

"I was ordered to bring you to him. What if Lord Xie Fang thinks we've lost you?"

Mo Wu's face stiffened a little. Still, he walked toward Xie Fang. Seeing a familiar figure appear, Xie Fang smiled at him.

But the person before him showed no interest at all. He looked completely listless. Xie Fang didn't notice and continued dealing with the people in front of him.

"Look, I've gathered them all for you. See which one of them bullied you before, and we can settle the score all at once."

Shi Qilin froze. He hadn't expected that this unassuming young man was one of his descendants. Seeing this, Ancestral Dragon knew it was a family matter between the two of them, so now was the perfect time for him to withdraw.

After all, during their fight just now, he had felt the Samadhi True Fire emanating from Xie Fang's hand. It was even more powerful than the phoenix's. He had suffered at Yuanfeng's hands before, and certainly didn't want to suffer here too.

If the Samadhi True Fire burned for a while, it might leave nothing of his original form. He didn't want his whiskers getting burned off too.
