At that moment, the old man had no time to think. He could only follow Prince Zishou into the palace complex ahead!
The Golden Crows streaked through the sky, bringing searing heat as they swept into the palace complex!
As soon as they entered, Xiao Nannan looked up from the Emperor Scripture. She felt the heat and that increasingly hateful presence, and murmured, "Big Brother... those people are awful. They even brought flames with them!"
Ren sipped his tea. Seeing the coldness in Xiao Nannan's eyes, he straightened her little pigtails and said softly, "If you don't like those flames, Xiao Nannan, then we won't have them here."
Ren smiled. Deep within his Double Pupils, a flame seemed to flicker.
As his gaze swept outward, threads of flame burned so fiercely that they seemed to melt the void. When he looked toward the nine Golden Crows soaring in the distance, a vast heat surged forth!
The Golden Crows seemed to catch fire. The flames burning around them caused them such pain that they struggled wildly, throwing Zi Shou and the old man off balance atop the chariot!
Startled, Zi Shou flew into the air and turned toward the shrieking Golden Crows!
"SCREE—"
"BUZZ—"
The nine Golden Crows kept crying out, thrashing as though trying to resist the scorching heat!
At the sight, Zi Shou cried in shock, "How is this possible? Their bloodlines may not be pure, but these nine Golden Crows are still like suns! They can unleash Golden Crow flames! They shouldn't fear any flame or heat. So why are they burning in agony? What's happening?"
