Watching this foolish bird blabbering on, claiming it would take over his Blood God Palace.
And listen to what it was saying, calling this place a dump?
Minghe had no doubt that this Great Peng was genuinely mentally challenged, completely out of its mind.
Otherwise, why would it say such things and do such things?
The owner of this palace was right beside it. Although Minghe was currently concealing all his presence, completely suppressing it.
But if you probed with your divine sense and couldn't discern its true strength, wouldn't you have considered that this was an unfathomably powerful expert hiding their abilities?
Minghe felt that the Spiritual Power he had just comprehended was something he should avoid using if possible in the future.
Lest he end up like this, being treated as a passerby and completely ignored.
"Ahem." Minghe deliberately coughed to get the foolish bird's attention.
Hearing the sound, the Great Peng finally stopped laughing, turned to look at Minghe, and asked, "Who are you?"
Minghe pointed to the Blood God Palace and said, "The owner here."
The Great Peng's brow immediately furrowed. "The owner here?"
Minghe nodded.
The Great Peng's brow furrowed even more. "You're not trying to trick me, are you? I heard others say there are no living beings in this Sea of Blood, so how could it have an owner?"
Minghe was even more speechless. He pointed to himself and asked, "Am I not a living being, then?"
The Great Peng was stunned for a moment.
Minghe then pointed to the Blood God Palace and said, "Try guessing again how this palace came to be."
"It, it's yours?"
The Great Peng hesitated.
Minghe was too lazy to talk to him anymore. This guy was like an idiot.
With that kind of brain capacity, how dared he come out and mingle?
"Alright, even if this palace is yours, I've taken a liking to this place now, so it's mine. I'll give you some benefits, how about you go somewhere else?" At this moment, the Great Peng seemed to have a spark of intelligence again, saying to Minghe.
Minghe shook his head and chuckled, "What benefits could you possibly give me?"
"Hmph!"
The Great Peng snorted coldly. "I have plenty of benefits. It's more than enough to trade for your palace. Watch closely."
After speaking, the Great Peng opened its mouth as if there were a space within its body, and a large amount of items flew out.
A pile of things landed in front of Minghe: knives, spears, swords, axes, and so on. Honestly, these were indeed some treasures.
Minghe guessed that these were probably magical treasures and weapons from beings the Great Peng had devoured. Although they were all acquired spiritual treasures, some of the materials used were indeed excellent. No wonder this big bird had treasured them.
"Alright, from this pile of magical treasures, you can pick three as my offering. Don't say I forcibly took your palace," the Great Peng said.
Minghe remained still, shaking his head and laughing, "Forget it. Your pile of things, while treasures, don't appeal to me. I won't give you my palace."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the Great Peng seemed disbelieving. It looked at Minghe, then at the pile of magical treasures it had laid out.
Suddenly, the Great Peng waved its hand and collected all the treasures.
Then, looking at Minghe, the Great Peng tilted its head, and its eyes suddenly turned cruel and ferocious.
"Good, good, good! I wasn't planning on fighting today since I'm full, but you're forcing my hand. Then I'll just eat you too. You look so scrawny, not much meat on you, you won't fill my stomach for long."
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird finally revealed its true ferocity and intended to attack.
Minghe, however, was unfazed, a faint smile on his face. "Oh? You intend to eat me and then take over my palace?"
"You're the one who's not looking out for yourself!"
The Great Peng said coldly, "Alright, I'll give you one last chance. Run for your life!"
"I'll give you the time it takes for a cup of tea to escape, and then I'll chase you. If I catch you, I'll eat you, and I'm sure you'll have no complaints."
After saying this, the Great Peng crossed its arms and watched Minghe, waiting for him to flee.
It was clearly absolutely confident in its speed; even giving Minghe a head start of a cup of tea's time, it could still catch up.
But after hearing this, Minghe still didn't move, standing rooted to the spot.
Minghe's gaze also appraised the Great Peng, and he said calmly, "Alright, I'm done talking nonsense with you."
"Son of Yuan Feng, Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, your bloodline is excellent. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep today, you'll stay here and become my mount!"
Hearing this, the Great Peng laughed in fury. "Me, your mount? You truly don't know what's good for you..."
But his voice grew lower and lower, and his eyes widened as he suddenly heard a loud "clang" from Minghe's body, startling him.
The Great Peng's expression was filled with shock and uncertainty as it heard continuous "clang, clang, clang" sounds emanating from Minghe's body.
And as more and more pores on Minghe's body opened, his aura grew increasingly powerful.
In just a short while, all of Minghe's pores had opened, and his aura was fully revealed at this moment. An incredibly profound fluctuation emanated from Minghe's entire body, turning the Great Peng's face completely pale.
This was actually a mighty expert, and not just any mighty expert, but one of the absolute strongest.
What had he just done? He had tried to forcefully seize this mighty expert's palace?
"This is bad, I've kicked a steel plate!"
Great Peng thought rapidly, and immediately calmed down. "But luckily, I have extreme speed, I can escape."
He made up his mind instantly, his body moved, and he directly transformed into his true form.
He soared into the sky, flying wildly towards the distance, a laughter echoing: "You want to capture me as a mount? Can you catch me?"
"You've come this far, and you still want to leave?"
Minghe also laughed, extending a hand, which actually evolved into a magnificent world, enveloping the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird within it.
Minghe's current cultivation was incredibly powerful, and his various Daoist techniques and Spiritual Powers were all masterfully executed.
With this one grab, he had captured Great Peng in his palm, yet Great Peng remained unaware.
Great Peng flew frantically within the world formed in Minghe's palm, covering hundreds of trillions of miles in the blink of an eye.
Finally, he let out a sigh of relief and stopped, looking back curiously, wondering, "He's not chasing me?"
"It seems my speed is truly peerless, even a mighty expert can't catch up to me!"
"Great Peng, what are you muttering to yourself about?"
Minghe's voice suddenly came, causing every feather on Great Peng's body to stand on end. He hurriedly looked up.
The scene before him changed, the world disappeared, and he was no longer in the air, but had fallen into Minghe's palm.
What seemed like hundreds of trillions of miles he had flown earlier had actually all taken place within Minghe's palm.
