"White Phoenix!"
Seeing the bird captured by this strange statue, Bai Feng was instantly alarmed and, without thinking, rushed forward.
Fortunately, Mo Ya appeared in front of Bai Feng in time, stopping him a step ahead.
The next moment, the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, originally muscular and stepping on a golden dragon and white elephant, suddenly transformed into a gust of cold wind, wrapping the chirping, struggling White Phoenix, and flew directly into the distance.
"Mo Ya!" Bai Feng said furiously, "Why did you stop me?"
Mo Ya rolled his eyes at Bai Feng and said, "If I didn't stop you, would you have wanted to go to your death?"
"But it took the White Phoenix!" Bai Feng said angrily.
"So what?" Mo Ya said indifferently, "You must remember, as assassins, these unnecessary emotions are superfluous to us."
Gritting his teeth unwillingly, Bai Feng finally lowered his head.
Qin State Assembly Hall!
During the Warring States period, although the Seven Kingdoms constantly waged war against each other, even when two countries were at war, the assembly halls located in each other's capitals were rarely damaged.
Of course, large-scale prisoner massacres like the Battle of Changping were an exception.
One must know that after the Battle of Changping, even King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was a hostage in Handan, Zhao, suffered inhuman discrimination and abuse.
However, as Han was inherently weak and bordered Great Qin, it naturally treated the Qin State Assembly Hall with more caution than the other five kingdoms.
This resulted in the Qin State Assembly Hall in New Zheng city not only occupying a vast area but also surpassing the other five kingdoms in other aspects.
A gust of cold wind, in an instant, swept from afar into the assembly hall, heading directly for the most luxurious room.
As the cold wind reached the window, the window silently opened by itself.
Only after the cold wind swept into the room did the window quietly close again.
Along with the cold wind came a bird that looked like a pigeon but had long tail feathers, chirping and appearing startled, flapping its wings as if trying to escape.
Ying An's lips curved into a slight smile as he casually beckoned to the bird.
No matter how much the bird struggled, it was still flown into Ying An's hand by an invisible force.
Even though Yan Lingji had long witnessed Ying An's various incredible methods, seeing the bird struggle endlessly yet ultimately fall into Ying An's hands, she couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.
"To think that a dignified Qin prince would be someone who enjoys carrying birds in cages!"
Yan Lingji's mockery did not displease Ying An in the slightest.
After all, although it was under duress last time that Yan Lingji offered her incense and faith, from that moment on, everything about Yan Lingji was already completely in Ying An's hands.
Even now, being mocked by Yan Lingji, Ying An could sense that the mockery contained more unwillingness than hatred.
Raising a finger, he let the struggling plump bird grip his finger with its claws, yet it could never escape. Ying An smiled, "Whether you are willing or not, you are now unrelated to your former master. You're as plump as a pigeon, so from now on, you'll be called Pigeon Baby!"
Yan Lingji's willow-like brows furrowed in anger, and a spark of fire appeared at her fingertips.
Ying An's words, falling into her ears, clearly implied a veiled insult. He was obviously reminding her that no matter what, she was now unrelated to Tian Ze and could only obediently follow him.
Ignoring Yan Lingji's seemingly threatening gesture, Ying An continued to tease the Pigeon Baby on his fingertip.
This white phoenix, who would accompany Bai Feng and shake the Great Qin Martial World in the future, was clearly willing to become Ying An's canary, or rather, it completely didn't understand what Ying An was saying. It only instinctively felt awe and wanted to escape Ying An's control.
A thought, silently and imperceptibly, flew out from between Ying An's brows, carrying the memories of the soul cultivation secret method, and quietly submerged into Pigeon Baby's forehead.
In an instant, Pigeon Baby instantly quieted down.
A moment later, after completely absorbing the memories of the soul cultivation secret method from this thought, Pigeon Baby's attitude completely changed. If it had been terrified and desperately trying to escape just now, it was now trying its best to please.
Ying An gently released his soul's restraint on Pigeon Baby, but this time Pigeon Baby had no intention of escaping at all. It flapped its wings, circling Ying An continuously, constantly trying to land on Ying An.
Playfully observing Pigeon Baby flying in the room, Ying An said, "Cultivate well. Although this is just a rudimentary soul cultivation method that I created, only reaching the Manifestation Realm, it is enough to allow you to gain wisdom not inferior to the lords of all spirits from a savage beast!"
That's right, the soul cultivation method carried by Ying An's soul thought just now was not precious at all; he had simply created it on a whim.
Don't look at Ying An now as merely a Ghost Immortal Realm soul cultivator. In the entire Yang God system, he could even be said to have just pushed open the door to the soul cultivation system.
But don't forget, due to the different worlds, Ying An had already absorbed the wisdom of the book of changes (yi jing) from this world in advance. Especially the book of changes (yi jing) that had been commented on by successive Yinyang Family sages.
The annotations of the predecessors, coupled with Ying An's own wisdom, allowed him to transcend realms and contend with a Ghost Immortal who had truly passed a lightning tribulation, despite only being a novice Ghost Immortal.
Especially the wisdom brought by the book of changes (yi jing) allowed Ying An to create a crude soul cultivation method for Pigeon Baby in a short period, based on his own accumulation, tailored to its needs, and teaching according to its aptitude.
Even if placed in the Yang God World, such a cultivation method would be truly unsightly, but in the Qin Shi World, it was an extremely precious soul cultivation secret method!
Yan Lingji didn't know what Ying An had just done.
But the sight of Pigeon Baby, who had been struggling fiercely just now, becoming so subservient to Ying An in such a short time still made Yan Lingji feel a chill down her spine.
"Is there no limit to your evil magic, Prince? Even ignorant beasts fall victim to your poisonous hands!" Yan Lingji's pretty face was filled with unconcealed horror.
"This is not evil magic, but the righteous path of Immortals!" Ying An rarely explained to Yan Lingji.
Yan Lingji, however, looked disdainful and said, "How could the righteous path of Immortals be so evil?"
Ying An changed the subject, not continuing to argue whether the soul secret method was righteous or evil, but asked, "Just now I went to the Han King's Palace. This should have been an excellent opportunity for you to escape. Why did you still stay in the guesthouse? Could it be that you have already decided to completely abandon your former master and stay by my side!"
Spitting lightly, Yan Lingji said disdainfully, "I just didn't want to give you a chance to find my master's location."
Nodding in agreement, Ying An said, "That's right. Rats in the gutter, once they expose their location, will face utter destruction! It seems you still have some old feelings for Tian Ze!"
"My master is not a rat in the gutter!" Yan Lingji said angrily.
