The sudden sound startled Mo Tang, and then a little girl in a long blue dress appeared in his sight.
"Mu Qingluan..."
Mo Tang was slightly surprised.
Standing before him was none other than Mu Qingluan, the personal disciple of the Starfall Pavilion's Wind Venerable!
Of course, she was now also a disciple of the Four Directions Pavilion, hence her address of Mo Tang as the Grand Pavilion Master.
However, compared to Mu Qingluan's somewhat delighted expression, the two sides facing off were far less pleased, each becoming wary. There was no way around it
; Mo Tang's side was simply too powerful. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's intimidating presence was sufficient, leaving no room for others to be careless. "What are you doing here? Didn't they say the Starfall Pavilion people weren't here?" Mo Tang asked, somewhat puzzled. The entire Four Directions Pavilion was still in a stabilization phase, and the original four pavilion masters were still busy with many things, so only Mo Tang and Little Fairy Doctor came to the opening of the ruins. Mu Qingluan stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "I came with my clan..." Although Mo Tang and Mu Qingluan were technically of the same generation, Mo Tang was now the Grand Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion, and Mu Qingluan herself was petite, so this behavior wasn't out of place. Hearing Mu Qingluan's words, Mo Tang's gaze fell on the group behind her. It was a group of women, and all of them were beautiful women... "Is it the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?" Mo Tang thought to himself. The Tianluan clan is one of the few matriarchal clans among magical beasts, with nine-tenths of its powerful members being female. While Mo Tang and Mu Qingluan were talking, the Tianluan clan's powerful members learned the young man's identity… he was Mo Tang, the currently renowned Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion in Zhongzhou. This allowed the purple-clad beauty leading the Tianluan clan to breathe a slight sigh of relief. In any case, with Mu Qingluan's connection, the other party wouldn't pose any direct threat to them. As for the item they were currently vying for… glancing at the dozen or so Dou Zun powerhouses from the Tianyaohuang clan, the purple-clad beauty shook her head slightly. It seemed they were destined not to obtain it this time. However, she wasn't particularly disappointed. At least she could use that thing to gain some benefits for the Tianluan clan… Thinking this, the purple-clad young woman's gaze swept over the group of guys opposite her with expressions of utter disbelief, and she actually felt a little amused. "This must be the Grand Master of the Four Directions Pavilion, right? I am Zi Hong, an elder of the Tianluan clan." The beautiful young woman, Zi Hong, bowed gracefully to Mo Tang, and then greeted the Tian Yao Huang and the others behind Mo Tang. Although the Tianluan clan was only a mid-level clan in the Beast Domain, they still had quite a few strong individuals. Just like the Zi Hong before her, she was a peak four-star Dou Zun, her strength probably slightly stronger than Feng Zun, roughly on par with Bing He. Mo Tang's gaze swept over the other person's entire body, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Miss Zi Hong, there's no need for such formalities..." ... ... While Mo Tang was exchanging pleasantries with the Tianluan clan, the group opposite him was feeling displeased... These scruffy birds were really disrespectful to them! Your Tianyao Phoenix Clan is a top-tier magical beast clan, but isn't my Nine Nether Earth Python Clan one too? Moreover, the Skeleton Mountain Range where these ruins are located is on my Nine Nether Earth Python Clan's territory. Shouldn't you restrain yourselves a little? Don't you know what it means for a powerful dragon to be unable to suppress a local snake?
"Hey you over there! We can talk about this later. Shouldn't we sort things out here first?"
A burly man with a gleaming head and a blue python tattoo on his face shouted impatiently.
Mo Tang frowned slightly upon hearing the voice, then looked over.
"Why are you still here? Since you know I, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, am here, shouldn't you bunch of worms slink away?"
You're arrogant? I'm even more arrogant than you! What can you do about it!
Clearly, Mo Tang's words were a bit too arrogant, causing the group of burly men from the Nine Netherworld Pythons opposite him to pause for a moment.
In an instant, the bald, burly man in the lead flew into a rage, pointing at Mo Tang and shouting, "You damned bastard, how dare you disregard my Nine Netherworld Pythons like this? I think you're courting death!"
Little did he know that his "bastard" insult had directly offended everyone present!
Because not only is she a Heavenly Phoenix, but she's also a avian magical beast of the Heavenly Luan clan...
"Demon Eye! You stupid snake! If you want to die, I'll grant your wish. If you dare spew filth here again, I'll skin you alive!" The
gentle and tender Zi Hong suddenly became enraged, hands on her hips, pointing at the bald, burly man and cursing.
This scene left Mo Tang dumbfounded. When his gaze turned to Mu Qingluan, he saw the clever girl raise her hand to cover her face...
Perhaps sensing Mo Tang's astonished gaze, the beautiful young woman Zi Hong coughed awkwardly, then said softly and charmingly, "I couldn't help myself for a moment, I'm sorry to have made Young Master Mo laugh."
Mo Tang rolled his eyes. Your true nature has already been exposed, isn't it too late to pretend now?
Of course, Mo Tang wouldn't pay attention to these things and directly asked, "I wonder how Miss Zi Hong and your group clashed with the Nine Netherworld Pythons?"
Zi Hong smiled slightly, then reached into her robe and took out something that made Mo Tang's eyes widen...
It was a small white, fluffy beast that looked like a kitten!
At this moment, the little beast was enveloped in a layer of purple energy shield, curled up, and was only the size of a palm.
Such a tiny creature, placed against Zi Hong's chest, was completely invisible...
Well, this fully proves that she has a broad mind...
Looking at this white little beast, Mo Tang first frowned, then seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically!
"This is... a Pill Beast?!"
The moment the word "Pill Beast" was uttered, those who understood it changed drastically, while those who didn't were completely bewildered.
Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor also looked confused, Mo Tang quickly explained, "On the continent, generally, any pill that has undergone seven-colored or higher alchemical lightning can possess the ability to transform into a beast form, and its intelligence is extremely strong.
However, those who can refine pills of this level are all the top alchemists on the continent, but if it's the Dou Sheng Ruins, it's not surprising to find such a high-level pill."
"I see." Little Fairy Doctor nodded, but when she looked at the little beast in Zi Hong's hand, her eyes still held a hint of curiosity. "This is actually a pill? It's really mysterious..."
Zi Hong smiled slightly and said, "Not only that! According to my guess, this little beast is probably not just a seven-colored alchemical lightning pill, but an eight-colored or even nine-colored pill, and it's probably not far from the ninth grade..." Opposite him,
the bald, burly man named Yao Tong saw the little beast in Zi Hong's hand and his expression brightened, and then he became somewhat eager to try it.
However, Zi Hong ignored the group of foolish snakes and instead stared at Mo Tang with his purple eyes, saying softly, "I am willing to hand this item over to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but the Heavenly Phoenix Clan needs to agree to help us once during the treasure hunt. How about it?"
