“All of you?”
Xia Muqing had just asked when she saw a little bird peeking out from its thick fur.
The little phoenix obediently greeted her. It turned around and spotted the black eagle on the ground. She was so shocked that the feathers on her body rose.
This was… an Azure Cloud Eagle?
She didn’t expect the arrogant and domineering Azure Cloud Eagle to end up in such a pitiful state.
And so, she became even more worried about her fellow phoenixes.
Xia Muqing stroked its head and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, the whereabouts of the Phoenix Clan is already known. They tortured the black eagle because they wanted to know the whereabouts of the Azure Cloud Eagle Clan. With the Phoenix Clan here, they probably won’t make things difficult for them.”
Only then did the little phoenix calm down and stop panicking.
Gungun glanced at the black eagle on the ground and felt a little uncomfortable. Although it didn’t interact much with the black eagle, it treated it as a companion.
Xia Muqing looked at Gungun and had an idea.
The door suddenly swung open, and Gungun and the little phoenix quickly hid.
After Flying Bird pushed the door open and entered, she quickly scanned the room.
Xia Muqing asked, “What are you looking for?”
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Flying Bird smiled and said, “Nothing important. It’s just that someone reported that an intruder has broken in. I was worried that you would be in danger.”
Xia Muqing shook her head. “I’ve been here all this time, and I didn’t see anyone enter.”
Hearing her say this, Flying Bird immediately retreated. But she locked the door and instructed the people behind her, “Increase the number of people guarding her. I want to see how many people have barged into the Goddess Clan.”
Xia Muqing looked at the closed door. Her top priority now was to bring the black eagle out.
She beckoned Gungun over and instructed it.
Jin Chao and Jiang Yifan were captured after Flying Bird did a thorough search.
Since they had already been found, Flying Bird stopped pretending and ordered people to tie Xia Muqing up.
Xia Muqing kept resisting, but in the end, she was still subdued by them. Flying Bird entered the room and casually kicked the black eagle on the ground. “Who are you?”
Xia Muqing turned around and refused to talk to her.
Flying Bird didn’t fly into a rage. She placed her foot on the black eagle’s chest and stomped hard on it. The black eagle immediately woke up and groaned in pain.
Xia Muqing blurted anxiously, “Leave it alone!”
Flying Bird laughed loudly and said, “Looks like you’re prepared to be obedient? Why are you guys here?”
She didn’t believe that these people were here to save those beasts. No one would be foolish enough to risk their lives for beasts.
Jin Chao and Jiang Yifan were also brought to this room. They were covered in wounds and it was obvious they had just been beaten up.
Xia Muqing stood at a corner as she watched Flying Bird interrogating the air. The whip in her hand lashed the air repeatedly, making her a bizarre sight.
And the tortured Jin Chao and Jiang Yifan were standing behind her. That was what she instructed Gungun to do just now, causing these people to fall into a dream.
The three of them glanced at each other and quickly made their way to the place where the phoenix clan was imprisoned. The black eagle was too seriously wounded, and they could only hand it over to the Radiant Sun to protect it.
Jin Chao went with Xia Muqing to save the phoenix clan, while Radiant Sun and Jiang Yifan stayed in the underground cellar to guard the black eagle. Gungun and the little phoenix followed Xia Muqing.
When they returned to the place where the phoenixes were detained, Xia Muqing sent a signal to Jin Chao with her eyes. She walked forward and said, “I’m here on the orders of the Orchid Clan palace mistress to interrogate these phoenixes.”
The people here had witnessed Flying Bird taking Xia Muqing away personally. They naturally didn’t doubt her words and nodded before letting her in.
