Observing the ruins, it appeared as if a massive fire had ravaged the area, leaving the ground blackened and giving the impression of a vast expanse of darkness when seen from afar.
Lie Yan exclaimed, “No wonder there was such a commotion; this battle must have been incredibly intense!”
Gu Qingluan’s expression turned grave as she crouched down to examine the marks on the ground.
“Do you see anything, Master?” Lie Yan asked, noticing her unusual demeanor.
“From these scorched earth marks, it seems that the fight took place not long ago, perhaps within the last two or three days. It should be the battle that triggered the beast tide.”
But where did everyone go after the fight?
Gu Qingluan extended her divine sense, but within a radius of ten miles, she couldn’t spot a single living soul.
“Let’s split up and search.”
As soon as she spoke, Gu Qingluan suddenly sensed that someone was watching her attentively.
She remained composed on the surface but quietly transmitted a message to Lie Yan to be cautious; there were skilled individuals hidden nearby.
Separating into two groups, they moved in different directions.
Several dozen miles away from Gu Qingluan, atop a mountain peak, three saint beasts gathered.
At this moment, they were observing Gu Qingluan with their divine senses.
The Saint Light Tiger said, “1 think she’s the one!”
“From a human perspective, her appearance should be considered top-notch. It doesn’t disgrace that Lord. I think she’s acceptable.” the Golden Feathered Roc nodded in agreement.
Only the Heaven-Burrowing Rat had some hesitation. “Will doing this anger that Lord?”
The Saint Light Tiger rolled its eyes. “Anger? Why would he be angry? We’re helping him!”
“Stop the nonsense. I think she’s suitable. Let’s send that Lord away as soon as possible so we can return to our comfortable days.”
The Golden Feathered Roc straightened its golden feathers.
Each feather looked like a golden arrow, incredibly splendid. However, several feathers on its right wing were broken, showing a charred black color at the broken ends, affecting its overall beauty.
Whenever the Golden Feathered Roc saw its own wing, it couldn’t help but feel disheartened.
That Lord possessed the Phoenix bloodline, far more noble than them. The pressure from the bloodline of an ancient divine beast made these three ninth-grade saint beasts who dominated the Death Mountain involuntarily submit.
Back then, they followed the Lord’s orders to deal with a black-robed saint, but unexpectedly, the man self-destructed. In the end, that Lord managed to control the shockwave from the self-destruction within a tiny range using his own strength.
However, that Lord also paid a great price. Not only was he severely injured, but he also reverted to his original form.
Since the Golden Feathered Roc and the Phoenix were both from the same bird family, the Golden Feathered Roc developed some devious plans back then. It wanted to use the Phoenix’s inner core to boost its own bloodline and growth. However, it didn’t succeed and, in fact, ended up getting scorched by the Phoenix. Ultimately, it lost its territory to the other bird.
It had dominated the Death Mountain Range for so many years and had never felt so frustrated!
Now, it just wanted to send that Lord away as quickly as possible, and the sooner, the better!
“Alright, let it be her! She has good cultivation and looks, which should be able to extinguish the fire on him.”
The Saint Light Tiger nodded.
Seeing both of its neighbors agreeing, the Heaven-Burrowing Rat chose not to express any further opinions.
Although the most unfortunate one in this situation was the Golden Feathered Roc, as long as that Lord remained, they couldn’t find peace.
The other party had now returned to its true form, and the Phoenix fire frequently flew around.
Was the Phoenix fire easy to deal with?
Phoenix fire was one of the divine fires, immensely powerful and challenging to extinguish.
These past few days, they had to be on high alert. Wherever a spark emerged, they had to rush to put it out immediately; otherwise, once the fire grew larger, it would become much more difficult to extinguish.
One or two days were manageable, but if this continued for an extended period. Even divine beasts would struggle to endure it, so naturally ninth-grade saint beasts like them would find it even more challenging.. They would be on edge every day, a real threat to their beastly lives!
