Deep within Phoenix Slope, Ji Zining led Mo Shang and the others to probe for Huang Xi's presence.
Along the way, powerful members of the Phoenix Clan would occasionally try to stop them.
However, before they could even make a move, Ji Zining had already defeated them.
Regardless of the phoenix's level, Ji Zining always performed the same action.
He gently raised his palm and swatted at them as if swatting flies.
It's an incredibly simple move, yet so far, no phoenix has been able to stop it!
It's as if these phoenixes are really flies, easily swatted away!
Mo Shang and the others were speechless the entire time.
They had originally wanted to test their strength, but seeing Ji Zining like this, they suddenly decided against it.
They were truly helpless; it wasn't that they didn't want to take action, but that they simply didn't have the opportunity!
They were just about to rush forward when Ji Zining had already dealt with it.
Their Divine Son Hall is ridiculously strong!
Mo Shang and the others were expressing their feelings about Ji Zining, while Ji Zining was expressing her feelings about the Quasi-Emperor such as Kong Sheng ahead.
Wherever these Quasi-Emperor passed, the land was reduced to scorched earth, and the powerful members of the Phoenix Clan fell like rain.
Of course, Ji Zining only expressed her feelings of regret; she felt no pity whatsoever for the Phoenix Clan.
When the Phoenix Clan wanted to possess treasures beyond their capabilities, they should have foreseen this outcome!
The Great Emperor Dao Fruit is not something anyone can possess; at least the Phoenix Clan's current strength is insufficient!
"Cry!"
Amidst a mournful cry, a fiery phoenix at the Half-Step Quasi-Emperor fell from the sky.
Wherever it passed, space crumbled inch by inch, and was then scorched to death by terrifying flames.
"Boom!"
Finally, a deafening roar resounded, and the Half-Step Quasi-Emperor Flame Phoenix lay motionless in the deep crater it had created.
Ji Zining withdrew her hand, choosing not to finish off the enemy.
Because she had already sensed Huang Xi's presence!
Looking at Mo Shang and the others, Ji Zining voice.
"Did you sense it?"
A cold glint flashed in Mo Shang's eyes, and he said icily.
"I will never forget this scent!"
Two people ganged up on him and stole the Great Emperor Dao Fruit that he had already obtained. How could such a grudge be resolved in a short time?
Xiao Jing and the others nodded emphatically, indicating that they had also sensed Huang Xi's presence.
Without hesitation, the group moved in unison and flew towards the source of the aura.
A moment later, the group stopped, looked at the scene in front of them, and raised their eyebrows slightly.
It seems they arrived a step too late.
In a plaza, a weakened red flame phoenix lay sprawled on its side.
Above this red flame phoenix stood several powerful figures.
The owners of these figures are none other than Kong Sheng and other Quasi-Emperor experts from the Ziwei Holy Land!
Ji Zining led Mo Shang and the others to Kong Sheng's side and smacked her lips.
"The elders, however, were a bit faster."
Upon hearing this, Kong Sheng grinned.
"This little girl tried to fight back, but I crippled her with one slap."
"Divine Child, you've come at the right time. This little girl from the Phoenix Clan is now in your care."
"The rest of us are preparing to reunite with the Great Ancestor. It's about time we dealt with those Quasi-Emperor of the Phoenix Clan."
In his words, he made no mention of the Great Emperor Dao Fruit.
Kong Sheng and the Quasi-Emperor already knew that Huang Xi might be carrying Great Emperor Dao Fruit, but they still managed to keep quiet.
And they generously handed Huang Xi over to Ji Zining and the others.
To be honest, Ji Zining of admiration for this carefree attitude.
As expected of a Quasi-Emperor from their Ziwei Holy Land, he was not hindered in the slightest by worldly matters!
After exchanging glances, Ji Zining and Mo Shang bowed to Kong Sheng and the other Quasi-Emperor.
"Thank you all, esteemed ancestors!"
After Kong Sheng and Cheng Tian smiled, they left the square with the remaining Quasi-Emperor from the Ziwei Holy Land.
After watching them disappear completely into the distance, Ji Zining and the others withdrew their gaze.
Ji Zining looked up at Mo Shang and gave him a slight nod.
Mo Shang had been waiting impatiently, moved and stood above Huang Xi, whose aura was faint.
Looking down at Huang Xi below, Mo Shang spoke coldly.
" Huang Xi, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
Huang Xi struggled to lift her head and looked at Mo Shang, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
"My Phoenix Clan... is... is the most noble race in the True Martial Dao Domain. How dare you... you humans, act like this?"
Despite her weakness, Huang Xi's voice still carried an air of arrogance, echoing throughout the square.
Ji Zining and the others all showed strange expressions upon hearing Huang Xi's words.
They're facing imminent disaster, the entire Phoenix Clan is doomed, and they're still so arrogant?
To be honest, they sincerely admire Huang Xi for still being able to maintain her chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies.
Mo Shang hearing Huang Xi's words, Huang Xi, too lazy to waste any more words with her, lightly raised his hand and moved Huang Xi's massive body to the sky.
Huang Xi struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Mo Shang's restraints.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from Mo Shang's restraints. On the contrary, the more she struggled, the tighter the restraints became.
" Mo Shang, how dare you treat me like this... treat me like this... wait until I escape, you will surely die!"
After realizing that struggling was ineffective, Huang Xi began to threaten in a way that sounded fierce but was actually weak.
Mo Shang was speechless.
Was this the thing that used to rival him?
More importantly, this thing used to be ranked ahead of him!
This is... an absolute humiliation!
Mo Shang flipped his hands and began searching Huang Xi's body.
However, after searching every part of Huang Xi's body, no trace of the Great Emperor Dao Fruit could be found.
Xiao Jing and the others watched all this, their brows furrowing.
Could it be that the Great Emperor Dao Fruit wasn't with Huang Xi, but went somewhere else?
Upon considering this possibility, Xiao Jing and the others' expressions turned somewhat grim.
If not here, where else could it be?
Ji Zining closed her eyes, sensed for a moment, and then smiled softly.
" Mo Shang, are you only checking the external parts, not the internal parts?"
"If I remember correctly, the Great Emperor Dao Fruit can be temporarily fused, right?"
"After fusing with the Great Emperor Dao Fruit, your strength will gradually increase, and you will begin to comprehend the Complete Law."
"This Huang Xi is the most monstrous genius of the Phoenix Clan; she should have already fused with the Great Emperor Dao Fruit!"
Within Huang Xi's body, Ji Zining could sense a mysterious and powerful aura that did not belong to Huang Xi.
This mysterious and powerful aura must be the Great Emperor Dao Fruit!
Upon hearing Mo Shang's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.
Yes! How could he not have thought of that?
Without any hesitation, Mo Shang tore the cloth apart with both hands, under Huang Xi's desperate gaze.
"Pfft!"
Huang Xi's enormous phoenix body was split in two, and scorching phoenix blood rained down from the sky, igniting the entire heavens.
What attracted Ji Zining and the others' attention the most was not this, but a glowing orb in the middle of the phoenix blood!
This luminous orb was filled with endless mystery and powerful energy.
This aura surpassed that of Quasi-Emperor, reaching a new level!
Mo Shang gasped in surprise the moment he saw the glowing orb.
" The Great Emperor Dao Fruit! This is the Great Emperor Dao Fruit!"
