Mingting quickly integrated into Zhenshan Sect’s big family. Meanwhile, news of Du Heng’s impending demise reached Ji Yanjun’s ears.

His master, the previous Demon Lord, had died at Du Heng’s hands.

Ji Yanjun didn’t have much affection for his master… in fact, he was grateful that Du Heng had removed the mountain weighing him down.

If his master hadn’t died, he might never have had the chance to rise to power and become the Demon Lord at such a young age.

However, some things still need to be done on the surface.

As the successor and disciple, if Ji Yanjun did nothing despite knowing Du Heng was severely injured, what would people think?

The demons would only see their Demon Lord as cold and ungrateful, so who would willingly fight for him in the future?

So, Ji Yanjun quickly appointed soldiers and generals.

This time, he would personally take action and take back Du Heng's head to pay tribute to his master and boost his own reputation at the same time.

Now, the only thing that Ji Yanjun is worried about is Le Qing.

Though Le Qing had only recently advanced to the Divine Transformation stage, his formidable strength is obvious to all.

Le Qing had reached Divine Transformation stage in just over three hundred years, and this talent is rarely seen in history. Even Ji Yanjun is jealous of him. And it is not an exaggeration to say that Le Qing is the foremost genius of the righteous path.

‘It’s all because of that nosy Phoenix, otherwise, Le Qing would’ve been struck dead by lightning.’

Now, the real problem was how to lure Le Qing away!

No matter what, Zhenshan Sect wasn’t some minor sect. If he threw all his forces into avenging the old Demon Lord, it’d be a pointless sacrifice.

Just as Ji Yanjun was pondering a solution, Bai Chen arrived.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Yanjun doesn't like the human race, nor does he like the demonic beasts.

Speaking of which, there was nothing in this world he truly liked. The only time he felt even slightly happy was during slaughter.

"You’re planning to move against Du Heng, aren’t you? I’m here to help!"

Bai Chen paid no mind to Ji Yanjun’s cold demeanor.

Knowing that Ji Yanjun would not entertain him, Bai Chen brought his own table, chair, fragrant tea, and pastries, sitting down without a care. He is completely unbothered by the fact that this was the Demon Lord’s lair, where he could easily be killed.

"You’re helping me? How generous."

Ji Yanjun traced the rim of a wine cup made of human bone, and his dark blue fingertips rubbed the cracks between the bones.

"I'm afraid you are doing this for that stupid Phoenix!"

"Speaking of which, the Phoenix is also a great demonic beast, but it has become a plaything of the human race. I heard that those old geezers dote on it, and the Little Phoenix is quite attached to them too. What, are you planning to personally eliminate this ‘traitor’?"

Bai Chen has long been accustomed to Ji Yanjun’s misanthropic, world-weary attitude.

Bai Chen flicked his snow-white fox tail dismissively.

"There is news from the Tianji Tower that the Phoenix is the key to ascension. Ji Yanjun, do you really plan to stay here forever? Don’t you want to ascend?"

"What's the point of staying in the Cultivation World and fighting against the human race? Our demon and demonic beasts race originally belonged to the Immortal Realm. If not for the underhanded schemes of the Immortals, how could we have fallen into such a poor and backward place?"

"Tianji Tower? You trust those humans?" Ji Yanjun snorted coldly.

"How can a Phoenix that is stupid enough to save the human race help us ascend?"

Despite his words, his fingers had stopped moving.

Ji Yanjun had also heard about this matter, so he understood what Bai Chen meant.

Even if the two races were at odds, they had collaborated in secret a few times before and have some understanding of each other's character.

Regardless of anything else, when it came to mutual benefit, Bai Chen was indeed a reliable partner.

"I’ve contacted several great demonic beasts. We will be responsible for leading Le Qing away. I can only try my best to delay him, and killing him this time might not be possible. So, you’ll need to act fast. Kill Du Heng and retreat immediately!"

Bai Chen was also very straightforward and took the initiative to show his sincerity.

"My only condition is that the Little Phoenix belongs to the demonic beast race!"

Ji Yanjun had no particular interest in the Phoenix. Now that the Fox King had personally come to propose an alliance and was taking on the strongest opponent, he had no reason to refuse.

"If you’re handling Le Qing, slaughtering Du Heng will be as easy as butchering a dog!"

Ji Yanjun had absolute confidence in his own strength.

The two of them made an appointment and began to act separately.

Even though Du Heng had guessed that Wen An’s exposure of his serious injury would lead to revenge from the demonic factions, he never expected them to strike so soon, or that the demons and demonic beasts would join forces.

…

That day happened to be a rest day, and Mingting had meticulously groomed his feathers until they were spotless.

The fluffy red down from his infancy had mostly shed, and now, proper feathers were growing in on his wings and back. The process was itchy, and the transitional phase left him looking somewhat ‘unattractive’.

So lately, whenever he groomed himself, Mingting insisted on staying alone and didn't allow anyone to peek, even Du Heng and Le Qing are no exception.

Du Heng had teased him, saying ‘the little one’s grown up and learned to be shy’.

But Mingting wasn’t shy, he just thought he looked ugly.

Baby fluff was soft and adorable, while mature plumage was sleek and majestic. However, he is now in the stage of changing from fluff to feathers. And in Mingting's own words, he looks neither here nor there and it ruins my image.

So he felt it is better for no one to know about this dark history!

He wants to be the Phoenix that everyone in the Cultivation World loves, so how could he allow unflattering records to exist? Especially since Le Qing likes to record videos so much…

Once his feathers were dry, Mingting shifted back to human form.

Just as he was about to nap on the parasol tree, a voice rang out.

"Fox King Bai Chen has come to escort the Little Phoenix back to the demonic beast race!"

‘Bai Chen?!’

Mingting looked up immediately.

At this time, there was a silver-haired man dressed in luxurious white robes standing in the air.

His features were strikingly handsome, his demeanor elegant, and he held a jade-green fan. If not for the pair of fluffy fox ears atop his head, he could easily pass for human.

With Bai Chen making a personal appearance, Le Qing naturally stepped forward to block him. The two stood facing each other a thousand meters apart.

"The Little Phoenix is an elder of our Zhenshan Sect. What business does your demonic beast race have with him?!"

Le Qing, clad in his usual blue robes, glared coldly, "Bai Chen, if you don’t want to die here, crawl back to your fox den!"

Don't be fooled by Yue Qing's deceiving appearance, as he’s actually a warmonger at heart.

"Oh, I thought I was still at the Nascent Soul stage. I forgot I’ve been an Ancestor for a long time now. My earlier words don’t count."

Le Qing smacked his head, looking genuinely regretful.

"Bai Chen, if you can withstand three punches from me, I’ll let you leave unharmed today. Otherwise, leave behind one of your fox tails as compensation for trespassing into my Zhenshan Sect!"

The great demonic beasts hiding in the dark secretly cursed the human race for being treacherous, ‘So, the price for a Nascent Soul cultivator acting versus a Divine Transformation cultivator acting wasn’t the same?’

Bai Chen was also stunned by Le Qing's words.

‘So now that he’s reached Divine Transformation, his backbone has stiffened?’

‘I’m the only eight-tailed fox in the fox tribe, just one tail short of the legendary nine tails. And this Le Qing wanted me to leave behind a tail as compensation? How utterly arrogant!!’

The smile on Bai Chen's face slowly faded, and the fan in his hand snapped shut.

"Le Qing, are you trying to start a war between Zhenshan Sect and the demonic beast race? I can’t help but think that the Little Phoenix has been imprisoned by you. Otherwise, why would he stay among humans?!"

"I didn't!"

Mingting cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and shouted at Bai Chen.

"I like it here, and I don't like you!"
