And when Ye Lin heard that familiar voice, his face lit up with excitement.
"Little Red."
Ye Lin called softly, then leaped onto Little Red's back.
"Little Red, it's been so long. You've changed so much I almost didn't recognize you."
"Hahaha, Boss, what do you think? Don't I look handsome now?"
Little Red flapped his wings, his birdlike face full of smug pride.
Toutian, who had seen the whole thing, stood frozen in place.
A phoenix. The divine beast Phoenix. Ye Lin... that image...
In an instant, the scene in the sky perfectly matched the figure in his vision.
A cold sweat broke out across his back.
Now he was utterly certain: the figure in that vision had indeed been Ye Lin.
"Fatty, what are you standing there for? Get on."
Ye Lin sat cross-legged on Little Red's back and looked down at Toutian, who hadn't moved an inch.
"Oh... oh, coming."
At Ye Lin's words, Toutian snapped out of it. He cautiously climbed onto Little Red's back, then gingerly sat down cross-legged.
"Boss, where are we going?"
"Human Territory."
"Got it."
With that, Little Red spread his wings and took off at tremendous speed. Everything around them, even the ground below, blurred into streaks.
Little Red had now become a Spirit Transformation Demon Venerable. Combined with the Phoenix's unique gift for speed, he was unbelievably fast.
"Little Red, you're flying around so openly. Does that mean you've already joined the Myriad Demon Palace?"
Ye Lin asked.
After all, Little Red had divine beast blood. Yet he could fly so brazenly through Demon Race territory.
Even Mahayana great demons couldn't ignore the blood essence of a divine beast.
"Hahaha, Boss, I used to be a little scared, but things are different now. You know the Snow Wolf Clan, right?"
