"Have you seen someone named Xiao Yi Xian?"
Xiao Yan cast an indifferent glance at Mu She as he asked.
"Xiao Yi Xian?"
"May I ask what your relationship with Xiao Yi Xian is, my lord?"
Mu She looked at Xiao Yan with slight confusion and ventured a probing question.
Should I tell him that Xiao Yi Xian was just captured by the Amethyst Winged Lion King?
He can use Dou Qi Transformation into Wings, but judging by his age, even if he's a genius, he should only be a Dou Wang, right?
If he really goes looking for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he'll definitely be killed.
After hearing Mu She's thoughts, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Was Xiao Yi Xian captured by the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"
Xiao Yan sought confirmation from Mu She.
He was not particularly surprised that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had captured Xiao Yi Xian.
After all, Xiao Yi Xian's potential was simply too great.
Most importantly, even across the entirety of Battle Through the Heavens, goddess-like women such as her were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
In his place, he would have made a move on Xiao Yi Xian too.
Gasp!
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Mu She sucked in a sharp breath, his gaze filled with shock and horror.
He clearly had not said anything yet, but the other man seemed to have seen straight through his thoughts.
As expected of a legendary Dou Wang expert-truly terrifying!
"You're right, my lord. Qingshan Town recently suffered a terrible calamity. Several experts fought there and destroyed the entire town."
"With no other choice, we fled into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Originally, our Wolf Head Mercenary Corps intended to recruit Xiao Yi Xian as our dedicated physician."
"Unfortunately, before the men I sent could find Xiao Yi Xian, they saw the ruler of the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, capture her."
"The Amethyst Winged Lion King is a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast. We could do nothing against him and could only watch helplessly as he left."
As Mu She spoke, he secretly observed the changes in Xiao Yan's expression.
Seeing that Xiao Yan remained perfectly composed upon hearing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's name, his assessment of Xiao Yan rose even higher.
He isn't even afraid of a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Could he be a Dou Huang expert standing at the pinnacle of the empire?
But when did the Jia Ma Empire produce such a young Dou Emperor?
Mu She pondered in confusion, completely unaware that Xiao Yan was eavesdropping on his thoughts.
"Do you know where Xiao Yi Xian was captured?" Xiao Yan asked again.
"Well... it seems to have been beneath a cliff. Senior, how about I take you there to have a look?"
Mu She hesitated briefly before sharing what he knew.
He had already decided to cling to this powerful man's coattails.
Even if the man thought little of him, he still had to do his best to make an impression.
If this lord happened to be pleased and bestowed some small reward upon him, he would strike it rich.
"Lead the way!" Xiao Yan nodded.
Although, according to the original plot, he should have killed Mu She.
But that was Xiao Yan's job and had nothing whatsoever to do with him, Li Feiyu.
Right now, he had no intention of killing Mu She at all.
"Please follow me, my lord!"
Seeing that this lord was willing to let him guide the way, Mu She hurriedly ordered his men to clear a path ahead.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's dwelling!
Xiao Yi Xian had indeed been brought here, and her capture had happened precisely after Xiao Yan had dismissed his Shadow Clone earlier.
That had allowed her captor to evade Xiao Yan's surveillance perfectly and carry her away.
Of course, he did not know that Xiao Yan's Shadow Clone had been watching him earlier.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's capture of Xiao Yi Xian had been entirely coincidental.
He had originally intended to seize Xiao Yan's fortuitous opportunity, so he had searched the Magical Beast Mountain Range for the cave where an expert lay buried.
As a result, he happened to encounter Xiao Yi Xian, who happened to have discovered that cave's location.
Then the Amethyst Winged Lion King had brought both the woman and the treasures back with him.
It had to be said that, as an Otherworlder, he did have a bit of dumb luck.
"Y-you... what do you want?"
Xiao Yi Xian stared at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, her face filled with fear.
However ignorant she might have been, she still knew whose hands she had fallen into.
After all, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's distinctive features were far too obvious.
Now she was caught in a tiger's jaws... no, a lion's jaws, and the odds of survival looked grim.
However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had no time to pay attention to her. Just as he returned, the God-Level Choice System had triggered again.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on triggering a God-Level Choice!" "1: Claim the fortuitous opportunity originally belonging to Xiao Yan entirely for yourself (including his confidante, Xiao Yi Xian). Reward: advancement to the Dou Zong realm!" "2: Return the fortuitous opportunity originally belonging to Xiao Yan to him (including his confidante, Xiao Yi Xian). Reward: become Xiao Yan's magical pet and receive one Transformation Pill!" "3: Kill Xiao Yi Xian and destroy every item obtained in the cave, leaving Xiao Yan no opportunity to trouble you. Reward: upgrade your origin beast flame to a level comparable to heavenly flames!"
Looking at these three options, the Amethyst Winged Lion King sank into thought. First of all, the second was absolutely out of the question.
For a dignified Otherworlder with a system like him to become Xiao Yan's magical pet-that was a blatant insult.
The first was quite worthwhile and also the most reliable option.
As long as he chose it, his strength would soar directly to the Dou Zong realm.
The third, however, was rather uncertain. After all, heavenly flames differed in power.
For example, comparing the second-ranked nihility devouring flame to the twenty-third-ranked mysterious yellow flame was truly like comparing heaven and earth.
If his flame was only upgraded to the level of mysterious yellow flame, the benefit would be nowhere near as substantial as advancing to Dou Zong.
"This king chooses the first option!"
"Once I become a seventh-rank magical beast, even if Xiao Yan is possessed by a ghost, he'll never be a match for this king!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not hesitate for long and soon made his decision.
He would become a seventh-rank magical beast comparable to a Dou Zong.
That way, if Xiao Yan dared enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it would mark the hour of his death.
After all, by then, Xiao Xun'er would already have gone to Jia Nan Academy.
Ling Ying and Yao Lao in his soul form would be no match for him.
At the very moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King made his choice, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from him and shot into the sky, shaking the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The other three Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts standing guard outside instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.
They knew perfectly well that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was about to break through and become a seventh-rank magical beast.
Meanwhile, guided by Mu She, Xiao Yan arrived at the place where his first fortuitous opportunity lay in the original story.
Unfortunately, the cave was already completely empty.
Never mind the three chests-even the extremely well-concealed Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map had vanished without a trace.
