Liu Wa's Haul, a Fierce Battle with Yuanfeng

"Defend!"

Facing the Ice Phoenix's attack, Xiao Teng hurriedly brought out the Earth Spirit Pearl.

The Earth Spirit Pearl blazed with light, transforming into a sturdy barrier that blocked every ice spike outside.

Xiao Teng knew that combat was not his strong suit, but fortunately, he possessed numerous treasures.

He swung the God-Striking Whip, and terrifying power poured forth like a raging flood.

Sensing the terrifying power contained within the God-Striking Whip, the Ice Phoenix did not dare take it head-on. With a flash of her body, she swiftly evaded it.

At that moment, the Calabash Kids seized the opportunity and opened the Primal Chaos Gourd. A powerful suction force surged out, instantly drawing the Ice Phoenix inside.

Even an Ice Phoenix at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm found it difficult to escape before the Primal Chaos Gourd's immense power.

"Good job!" Xiao Teng praised.

All six Calabash Kids were Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, while Xiao Teng, relying on his many treasures, could barely wield strength capable of contending with a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Now that the seven of them had joined forces, such power was not something the current Phoenix Clan could easily withstand.

Just then, another terrifying pressure descended.

Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids felt as though mountains weighed upon them, unable to move.

"Give my things back!" Yuanfeng's deafening roar seemed poised to tear heaven and earth apart.

In an instant, her enormous phoenix phantom appeared majestically above Undying Volcano.

Yuanfeng was clearly furious beyond measure. If she had not feared the heavenly tribulation, she would likely have appeared in person rather than showing herself only through a spiritual projection.

What did Old Six steal to make Yuanfeng this furious? Xiao Teng was somewhat puzzled.

"Brothers, I'm here!"

Liu Wa's figure appeared.

Upon seeing him, the surrounding phoenixes immediately surged toward him like a tide. Flames of fury flickered in their eyes, and shrill cries rose and fell without end.

"Do not hurt my brother."

Seventh Gourd did not hesitate to bring out the Primal Chaos Gourd. Its powerful suction erupted instantly, dragging Liu Wa straight toward it.

Just as Liu Wa was about to be sucked inside, Seventh Gourd closed the gourd.

"Sixth Brother, are you all right?" Da Wa asked, his face full of concern.

"I'm fine. I got the treasure."

At that moment, a terrifying blaze wrapped in a torrent of magma erupted wildly from Undying Volcano, charging fiercely toward the Calabash Kids with boundless fury and pressure.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Several Calabash Kids shouted in unison, each unleashing his divine abilities to resist it.

"Old Six, what exactly did you steal from them?" Xiao Teng asked loudly, his brows tightly furrowed.

"This."

A flash of light appeared in Liu Wa's hand, and a banner materialized out of thin air.

"The Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner!"

Xiao Teng was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Liu Wa to have such a discerning eye; every treasure he chose was a top-grade spiritual treasure.

Liu Wa brought out the Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner and dispelled all the flames Yuanfeng had spewed.

"Even if you stole the Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner, Yuanfeng wouldn't need to fight us to the death, would she?"

"Actually, besides this, I stole two more things."

Liu Wa gave a sly smile and slowly took out two eggs.

The instant Xiao Teng's gaze landed on the two eggs, his heart gave a violent leap.

"Could these be the Roc and the Peacock? You stole Yuanfeng's children!"

To continue the Phoenix Clan's bloodline, Yuanfeng had endured countless hardships to lay these two eggs, pouring her own bloodline into them.

Now that her own children had been stolen, it was no wonder Yuanfeng wanted to fight them without regard for anything else.

Terrifying power struck again. The might of a Quasi-Saint was vast and boundless, far beyond what Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals like them could easily resist.

"Brothers, use that move!" Da Wa shouted himself hoarse.

The seven Calabash Kids each took up a position, merging their power together without holding anything back.

"Seven-Colored Primordial Unity Heavenly Dipper Formation!"

As the formation took shape, it was as though the Primal Chaos Qi from the dawn of creation had been awakened once more. A force powerful enough to shake the Primordial World surged forth, forcibly blocking Yuanfeng's attack.

This was a peerless formation the Calabash Kids had painstakingly developed. With all seven joining forces, they could stand firm even against the might of a Quasi-Saint.

When Yuanfeng saw that her all-out strike had failed to break the grand formation, extreme shock appeared on her face.

However, unless she appeared in person now, there was absolutely no way for her to unleash even greater power.

But if she appeared, heavenly tribulation would inevitably descend. At best, she would lose all her cultivation; at worst, both body and soul would be annihilated.

Though her two children were extremely important, if she died, the Phoenix Clan would completely lose its pillar and fall into a place of eternal damnation.

Thus, after that strike, though unwilling in her heart, she did not dare act rashly again.

Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids seized the chance and retreated like shooting stars.

Xiao Teng led everyone in fleeing tens of thousands of li before slowly stopping once he was certain they were safe.

Looking at the two phoenix eggs before him, he could not help but feel a headache coming on. He had only ever grown gourds in his life and knew absolutely nothing about hatching eggs.

"How about we crack them open and boil them?"

The first Roc and the first Peacock of the Primordial World carried far too great a karmic burden. Eating them would bring trouble.

Better to hatch them. Perhaps they could become two powerful allies in the future.

"Si Wa, you can carry these two eggs from now on," Xiao Teng said.

Si Wa immediately looked completely dumbfounded. He had never had any experience hatching eggs.

Xiao Teng felt that Si Wa had a fiery temperament, while phoenix eggs needed sufficient warmth. It should work if he hatched them.

Though Si Wa was reluctant from the bottom of his heart, under Xiao Teng's insistent stuffing, he could only accept them helplessly.

"You all must not do anything this dangerous again in the future, understand? The other side is a Quasi-Saint. What if your formation can't block the attack?" Xiao Teng scolded.

As their father, if he did not scold them a little at a time like this, would he not have no presence at all?

Upon hearing this, the Calabash Kids all drooped their heads like children who had made a mistake and said softly, "We understand, Daddy."

"Daddy, where are we going next?" After a while, Da Wa raised his head and asked expectantly.

Xiao Teng frowned slightly. It seemed his words just now had been wasted.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Teng said, "Since we have already obtained two of the Five Directional Banners, it would seem a pity not to gather them all."

Xiao Teng carefully recalled where the remaining two banners were. The Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Banner should be in Zhunti's hands, so they could try asking to borrow it when the time came.

The Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner belonged to the Queen Mother of the West. If he remembered correctly, Hongjun had bestowed it upon her when he appointed her leader of the female immortals, so it should be in Hongjun's possession now.

If it was in Hongjun's hands, that would be troublesome. He could not possibly go snatch it from Hongjun, could he? That would truly be courting death.

Forget it. He would cross that bridge when he came to it. First, he would get the Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Banner.

Xiao Teng explained the location of the Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Banner to the Calabash Kids in detail.

"Whether we can get it depends on you all."

"No problem, leave it to us!"

The Calabash Kids were full of confidence. They were already old hands at this sort of thing.
