The Princess And The Lord

"Master, we don't know for sure what happen to the young master he might still be alive" Yang Zhou tried to comfort Tao Ji Fang.

"Is that possible?" Tao Ji Fang's voice was uncertain, without saying he knew his own son's abilities weren't that high, he only studied hard these past few days and it wouldn't be enough to deal with this strange creature not to mention Tao Bing Wen has a weak heart so how could he survive on its own?

Yang Zhou also wasn't sure that Tao Bing Wen could survive alone but he couldn't let Tao Ji Fang sink into his sorrow, especially at a time like this when they needed his leadership the most.

"Master, have you forgotten that the old master invited the famous monk during the celebration of the birth of the young master, and the monk said that the young master was born under a lucky star, and someday he will become a great person in the future."

Tao Ji Fang sneered "You know it's just bullshit* to please my father" although he might have believed it when Tao Bing Wen was still a baby, but now Tao Jing Fang found it hard to imagine his spoiled son would become such a great man.

"But, young master is quite lucky, I mean he can always get out of big trouble without serious injury he can even befriend Master Long Ming's wife isn't that unbelievable" Yang Zhou said enthusiastically.

A glimmer of hope returned to Tao Ji Fang's eyes, although he did not believe the monk's prophecy, but Yang Zhou was right that his son was quite lucky, he even accidentally build a relationship with the elusive Long Ming that even emperors and a lot of major sects found it difficult just to catch Long Ming shadow, so perhaps with his extraordinary luck, it would help his son through his predicament.

Well, he could only pray, because he didn't know how to deal with his father and wife if something happened to Tao Bing Wen.

Out of nowhere a sharp gust of cold wind swept over them, with confused and shocked faces they looked at the same direction where the wind was coming they realized that the wind was coming from the Empyrean Green forest, not long after they were startled again by the sound of the shriek of birds echoing in the air.

"What's that?" Yang Zhou's body turned tense as did the other members instantly they all become more vigilant.

"I'm not sure, but it came from within the Empyrean green forest" Tao Ji Fang's brows furrowed as he felt a strong dark energy mix with the wind.

"What should we do Master?" Yang Zhou and the other members turned their heads toward Tao Ji Fang awaiting his orders.

Tao Ji Fang pondered for a while, he cast his gaze toward  the Empyrean green forest then turned his gaze back to his sect members "Some of you stay to help secure the city with the other sect members, then Yan Zhou and the five of you come with me"

"We obey your orders, master!" they salute Tao Ji Fang simultaneously.

Yang Zhou then approached Tao Ji Fang and asked, "Master, aren't we going to find young master...?" he couldn't believe Tao Ji Fang gave up on Tao Bing Wen.

"This city is under attack, my cowardly son will run to safety, strangely the Empyrean forest is quite calm so he will most likely run to that place" Tao Ji Fang explained.

"But the Empyrean forest seems far from 'safe', sir." Yang Zhou replied anxiously after hearing a long scream from the direction of the Empyrean forest, Yang Zhou was worried that there would be powerful beings living there.

"And my stupid Son will learn it in the hard way..." Tao Ji Fang's voice was coated with stress.

"Then we must hurry, Master!" Yang Zhou got more anxious as he thought about Tao Bing Wen's situation.

Meanwhile the battle between the cursed phoenix and the four king palaces was fierce, the impact of their fight shook the area around them that even the nearby let alone cultivator could feel including Yang Xi Ying, and Tao Bing Wen they climbed to the top of the tree while holding on to the tree branch they could feel a sharp strong wind.

"What is that black cloud?" Tao Bing Wen stared into the distance while holding back his saliva.

Yang Xi Ying shook her head "I don't know but this isn't a good thing...we have to get out of here quickly" Yang Xi Ying gasped at seeing the amulet Lory gave her shining reminding her of being attacked by a Demon parasite.

Yang Xi Ying and Tao Bing Wen quickly descended from the tree and then used all their strength to get far away from the premises.

Elsewhere, Li Mo Zhen, Ming Yue Yin, and Yuan Shao also sensed the dark poison coming from afar although they didn't know what it was but they were certain that it must have come from a Hybrid Beast and not just any Hybrid Beast.

"I've never felt a dark energy from a Hybrid beast like this before..." the corners of Ming Yue Yin's eyes creased in concern.

"I can also feel powerful Qi of more than one cultivator....could it be they are?" Yuan Shao exchanged meaningful gaze with Ming Yue Yin.

"If it's them we don't need to worry, it was Yang Xi Ying we need to worry about," Ming Yue Yin said without the slightest doubt she believed that if the four kings' palaces were the ones who against that powerful beast then they got nothing to worry about, she was sure the four legendary kings will be able to overcome anything together.

"Xi Ying must find the safest place to yin Shan mountain and this will make it easier for us to find her," Li Mo Zhen said.

"You're right, we can narrow down which path Yang Xi Ying will take!" Ming Yue Yin's face turned excited as her hopes of finding Yang Xi Ying increased.

Meanwhile, the four Palace Lords surrounded the giant bird while raining barrages of attacks on the ugly Beast, unfortunately even though the bird had a large body it was extremely agile.

The beast wagged its sharp tail at Bei Li Yan's whip even though Bei Li Yan could withstand the beast's attack but still, his wrist felt numb from the collision of their forces.

"You okay?" Jiang Jin Wei shouted at him.

Bei Li Yan gritted her teeth and shouted, "Yeah, don't worry about me!"

"Come on, Yan we're just getting started~!" Wu San Bo teased him as an expression of concern that made Bei Li Yan roll his eyes then he lunged at the beast vigorously.

Jin Hao took a stance while pointing his sword at the ugly bird and in one quick move he launched hundreds of attacks in a second.

Jin Hao's attack managed to tear the bird's wings apart and with a loud shout Jiang Jin Wei smashed the Bird's horn with his broad sword and one of the beast's horns shattered causing the bird to scream in pain.

Bei Li Yan then took this opportunity by wrapping his whip around the bird's neck to stop it from moving then Wu San Bo jumped high above the bird's head while thrusting his sword right into its head but before he managed to pierce his sword at the giant bird head the bird suddenly hit Wu San Bo with its long sharp tail which caused Wu San Bo to be flung helplessly into the air.

Seeing this, Bei Li Yan untied the knot from the bird's neck and then caught Wu San Bo's waist with his whip.

The birds that were still irritated by Wu San Bo's attack swung their tails at him, luckily Jin Hao managed to block the attack then in a quick movement he swung his longsword and then slashed the annoying ugly bird's tail.

The bird writhed in pain, meanwhile, Bei Li Yan pulled Wu San Bo who was about to fall on a tree branch, Bei Li Yan then threw a recovery pill at him while giving him a teasing grin, "Hey, are you okay, we're just getting started?!" he winks at Wu San Bo.

"Ha!" Wu San Bo smiled dryly as he swallowed the recovery pill soon after, the color on his face changing for the better.

Jin Hao and Jiang Jin Wei also landed on the tree to catch their breath and also stabilize their Qi after the long battle while watching the monster's state, they felt they had succeeded weakened the bird but another unexpected thing happened.

Alas, Jin Hao's freshly cut tail suddenly grew again and the wounds on the beast's body slowly healed.

"Ugh, that's not good…" Bei Li Yan's mouth twitched in annoyance then he shouted at Jin Hao <strong>"THIS IS NOT GOOD!"</strong>

Jin Hao then replies sarcastically "You think?!"

Wu San Bo sighed heavily while massaging his nape he grumbled "Oh, this is going to be a long fight"

Unlike the others, Jiang Jin Wei's eyes gleamed with excitement, "Oh, I need a bigger sword!" he ecstatically said then replaced his sword with a much bigger sword as he said.
