The little phoenix asked with teary eyes, “Uncle Radiant Sun, where are my parents?”
Radiant Sun rubbed its head affectionately and said, “They should be fine. From what that woman said, they need us alive.”
Xia Muqing nodded. She just needed time to save them.
When Radiant Sun heard that they were preparing to look for the shamans, it quickly followed them.
The group of them quickly left the Sunset Mountains and returned to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yifan quickly checked the books he had read about the shamans. He first had to find out where exactly was the Island of Soro they were at.
When the Jiang couple heard of this matter, they offered their help.
The two phoenixes stayed in the backyard of the Jiang residence. By this time, the secret realm of the Sunset Mountains had closed and everyone had returned.
The first thing Xiao Chenglin did after his return was to tell the Xiao family about Xia Muqing in the mystic realm as well as how they had found the blood fur.
When the Xiao family came to look for Xia Muqing, she was changing the dressing for Radiant Sun. Although its injuries weren’t life-threatening, a slight mistake could lead to future complications.
Hearing the commotion at the entrance, Xia Muqing came out to take a look. She smiled and said, “So it’s an old friend.”
Xiao Chenglin’s face ached when he saw her. He touched the scars on his face and snapped ruthlessly, “I will definitely take revenge for what happened that day.”
Xia Muqing patted her chest and said, “I’m so scared. I wonder how you’re going to seek revenge?”
Xiao Chenglin waved his hand and a few people in Daoist robes quickly appeared. They held a huge net and threw it at Xia Muqing.
Jin Chao swiftly stood beside her and was about to move when she stopped him.
Xia Muqing looked at the huge net above her, and a hint of curiosity flashed across her eyes. The moment it landed above her, she used the knife in her hand to scratch it, but nothing happened.
Xiao Chenglin looked at the two people shrouded in the net and laughed loudly. “This is the Xiao family’s most precious treasure, the Immortal Binding Net. It’s impenetrable. Just give up.”
Xia Muqing signaled to the Jiang family with her eyes and obediently followed Xiao Chenglin back to the Xiao residence. Jin Chao naturally stayed close to her.
When they arrived at the Xiao residence, Old Master Xiao said with a smile, “Miss Xia, we meet again.”
Xia Muqing laughed as well. “Is this how the Xiao family treat their esteemed guests?”
Old Master Xiao’s expression remained unchanged. “As long as Miss Xia hands over the second half of the Beast Taming Technique, I’ll naturally let you go.”
Xia Muqing hesitated for a moment and said, “What if you don’t keep your word after I give it to you?”
Old Master Xiao replied, “Of course not. The Xiao family is very trustworthy.”
Xia Muqing suddenly laughed harshly and said, “You guys are really shameless to say something like that.”
Knowing that he had been fooled, Old Master Xiao was furious. “Don’t force me to do something you won’t like.”
He immediately sneered. Xiao Chenglin was very alert and instructed his men to bring out the ferocious beasts in the backyard. He looked at Xia Muqing with malice and said, “This is what you deserve.”
Xia Muqing noticed that these beasts were all injured and it was obvious that the injuries were caused by humans. Her expression darkened and she shot Jin Chao a look.
Jin Chao raised his hands quietly. The invincible Immortal Binding Net that Xiao Chenglin had used earlier was instantly torn into two by his hands.
The Xiao family members were shocked, and Xiao Chenglin exclaimed, “How is that possible?”
Xia Muqing sneered and said, “I don’t know if this net can contain immortals, but it can’t contain us.”
She had pretended to follow him back to the Xiao family for these beasts.
Old Master Xiao said solemnly, “It’s better for young people to be humble. I’ll teach you a lesson today.”
Xia Muqing sneered and replied, “I think you should save that advice for yourself.”
