With the sound of splashing water, the surface of the Divine Transformation Pool was broken apart as two figures flew out of the water and landed atop the mountain.
In an instant, Jiu You felt everyone's gazes fall upon her, and the pressure nearly crushed her...
Liu Bai, standing beside her, felt no such pressure. He ignored all the surrounding stares and looked at Clan Chief Tian Huang and the others with a smile. "I did not fail you. I brought Jiu You back safely."
Clan Chief Tian Huang smiled excitedly, patted Liu Bai on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "We have you to thank this time."
Though there was now an immense gap between their strengths, Liu Bai still treated him with great respect as Jiu You's father.
"Please do not say that, Senior. Jiu You helped me many times in the past. This was nothing more than a small favor."
The Phoenix Clan members beside them were instantly enraged upon hearing this. Was he not looking down on their Young Clan Leader...?
Sensing the hostile gazes around them, Clan Chief Tian Huang hurriedly said, "The Divine Transformation Pool has ended. We should return as well."
They had already gotten what they came for, so of course they needed to leave quickly, lest certain people grow angrier the longer they looked.
"Hmph, you want to leave? It will not be that easy! Leave behind those Sacred Blood Pills!" However, just as Clan Chief Tian Huang finished speaking, a cold snort sounded from behind them.
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes and turned toward the Phoenix Clan elder who had spoken. "What? Is this the Phoenix Clan's decision?"
The Phoenix Clan elder's gaze sharpened as he was about to speak, only to be rebuked by King Huang Huang Jin beside him.
