Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Awakening, Interrogation_1

"City Lord."

The butler ran over tremblingly and helped the City Lord to his feet.

"I think the one you’re looking for should be me." Seeing that the City Lord didn’t intend to hand her over and was injured because of her, Dugu Qianye stepped forward and said to the Phoenix.

"You? Have you been to Mengjiao Ridge?" the Phoenix asked. "Then did you capture a phoenix that looks similar to me?"

"No," Dugu Qianye replied.

Not knowing the Phoenix’s intentions, she dared not let it know about Xiaohuo. Everyone knew that there was no Phoenix Clan on Xuanyue Continent. The appearance of Xiaohuo was already strange, and now with the emergence of a Blue Phoenix, she couldn’t risk it.

"Hmph!" The Phoenix’s oppressive might concentrated and bore down on Dugu Qianye. She felt as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter, and the air in her chest was completely squeezed out.

"Speak, is there or isn’t there?" the Phoenix asked again.

"No." Dugu Qianye’s teeth had already bitten her own lips until they bled. She mobilized all the Phantom Power in her body, her hands braced against the city wall, making the utmost effort not to fall down. In the face of the enemy, one must never bend the knee! Blood poured out of her mouth in great gushes.

This was the gap in strength! I have to become stronger! Dugu Qianye screamed inside her heart. It was the first time she had been made such a mess and was completely powerless to fight back.

"Greedy humans, you shall pay for your stupidity," the Phoenix said, preparing to deliver the final blow to Dugu Qianye.

Suppressed by the remnant might of the Phoenix, everyone could only watch with open eyes as the Phoenix directed its full oppressive might toward Dugu Qianye, watching her body gradually deform under the pressure.

"Master." Xiaoyin crawled on the ground, crushed by the Phoenix’s might. Seeing Dugu Qianye’s state, it cried out anxiously.

"Ah!" Dugu Qianye’s chest cavity had already deformed under the pressure. For the first time, she felt death so close to her. It seemed that in the next second, her life would end.

"Who’s bullying my sister? Damn it, I’ll burn their whole family!" Just when Dugu Qianye thought she was about to suffocate, Xiaohuo’s voice rang out.

Similarly adorned with a cockscomb, swallow’s jaw, snake’s neck, turtle’s back, and fish’s tail, Xiaohuo, only about a dozen meters long and covered in colorful feathers, appeared before everyone.

"My Emperor!" The Blue Phoenix exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Xiaohuo’s arrival.

Xiaohuo lowered its head to see Dugu Qianye’s terrible condition, cried out sharply, and then transformed into the shape of a little girl and landed next to Dugu Qianye.

"Sister." Xiaohuo supported Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye lifted her head and shook off some of the haziness. Seeing Xiaohuo, she asked weakly, "Xiaohuo? How did you come out?"

"I’ve finished assimilating the Wanyuan Fire Seed, and felt that you were about to die. It was Dudu who sent me out." Seeing Dugu Qianye like this, tears filled Xiaohuo’s large eyes.

With the appearance of Xiaohuo, the Blue Phoenix withdrew its oppressive might. Xiaoyin transformed into a two-meter-long form, allowing Xiaohuo to help Dugu Qianye onto its back to lie down.

Xiaohuo settled the unconscious Dugu Qianye and took a top-grade Sacred Rhinoceros Pill from Dugu Qianye’s Space Ring to administer to her, whispering softly, "Sister, I will avenge you!" Then she turned around to face the Blue Phoenix, her demeanor no longer that of an adorable child, but rather that of a lofty Empress.

"A Super Divine Beast? No wonder you’re so arrogant," Xiaohuo said coldly. Her voice was still that of a little girl, but now it carried an air of superiority.

She transformed into her true form, flew up into the sky to confront the Blue Phoenix. The Golden Phoenix’s oppressive might fully unleashed, causing all the birds in the sky to fall helplessly to the ground. Aside from Xiaohuo, not a single bird remained airborne, and even the Blue Phoenix, despite being a Super Divine Beast, wobbled in the air, finally falling to the earth, transformed into a creature over ten meters in length.

"Hmph, a mere Blue Phoenix dares to lay a hand on my contractor," Xiaohuo looked down at the Blue Phoenix on the ground with disdain, and breathed out a flame that enveloped the Blue Phoenix. The Blue Phoenix screamed in agony as the flames burned.

The Soulflame, although not as instantly destructive as her Phoenix Golden Flame, was enough to torment without harming the body, more than sufficient to deal with such a minor Blue Phoenix.

"Ah! Ah! My Empress, this is a misunderstanding. I did not know she was your contractor," the Blue Phoenix said. "A few days ago, I sensed your presence at Mengjiao Ridge and wanted to find you right away, but I was at a critical point in my advancement, so I was delayed. I didn’t expect that soon after, I would lose your signal completely. I thought you had been captured by humans and were in danger, and in my haste, I acted rashly."

The people atop the city walls were completely dumbfounded by this series of events. It had looked as if Dugu Qianye was doomed, but suddenly, a colorful phoenix appeared and turned the situation around completely.

Xiaohuo waited a moment before retracting her flames, looking coldly at the exhausted Blue Phoenix on the ground, said, "If I didn’t recognize your scent as familiar, just for harming my contractor, that would have been reason enough for me to kill you with the Phoenix Golden Flame! Tell those Phantom Beasts to go back. You, come with me. I have questions for you."

Xiaohuo transformed back into the little girl, not even glancing at the Blue Phoenix, she went over to Xiaoyin, saying, "Let’s go back first." She then returned to the City Lord’s Mansion with Xiaoyin.

The Blue Phoenix ordered the Phantom Beast army behind her, "Disperse and return." She then transformed into human form and followed behind Xiaohuo and others.

After receiving the Blue Phoenix’s orders, the Phantom Beasts left in an orderly fashion, leaving the people on the city walls staring in astonishment as they departed. Divine Beasts had transformed and left a Super Divine Beast utterly powerless. Was this truly happening? And that was it; the incident was over just like that?!

The first to regain his composure, the City Lord cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, everyone, for your efforts. Everyone should go back and rest, heal your wounds. The rewards promised to you will be honored later. Butler, make sure to distribute the Healing Pills for free. Everyone may leave now."

"Yes," the butler answered and went off to make arrangements.

The others supported each other as they departed, and the City Lord stayed behind to handle the aftermath.

Xiaohuo and Xiaoyin, carrying the critically injured and unconscious Dugu Qianye, returned to her quarters with the Blue Phoenix trailing behind them.

"Wait outside, do not come in," Xiaohuo instructed before she and Xiaoyin, who was carrying Dugu Qianye, entered, shutting the door firmly behind them.

The Blue Phoenix stood nervously outside the door, a wave of fear washing over her. Today, she had almost killed the master of the Empress—which was to say, almost indirectly killed the Empress herself!

Xiaohuo helped Dugu Qianye onto the bed and sat beside her, her face filled with worry, the severity from before gone. This was the most serious injury Dugu Qianye had suffered since they made their contract. Despite having taken the Sacred Rhinoceros Pill earlier, she still showed no signs of improvement.

After a while, the butler brought a Pharmacist. Seeing the blue figure standing with bowed head outside Dugu Qianye’s room, he made a respectful gesture. This was a Super Divine Beast!

The butler knocked on the door, explained his presence, and Xiaohuo opened the door. When the butler saw Xiaohuo, his heart filled with awe once again. What kind of background did Baili Xie have? Not only did he have a level 2 Divine Beast Silver Wolf, but now also a legendary Phoenix! Moreover, a Divine Beast that could transform at such a young stage and leave a Super Divine Beast powerless and now standing outside reflecting on its actions!
