739: Six-eyed Flying Fish

"Will it work?"

Deep within the Five-Colored Marsh, Demon Venerable Mu Xue was somewhat doubtful.

Tian Xie's confident demeanor made her uneasy.

Tian Xie's previous boasts were still fresh in her mind, and she feared that Tian Xie was trying the same trick again.

Only this time, the situation was vastly different.

This was a matter of life and death for a Yao.

If the fellow within this black cocoon was indeed of Kunpeng Bloodline and had escaped to this place, then the mastermind behind it must be terrifyingly powerful.

She was just a small Soul Transformation Yao, and this time, she truly wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Trust me, it's correct."

Tian Xie puffed out his chest.

"If we delay any longer, we'll truly die..."

Seeing that Demon Venerable Mu Xue was still hesitating.

Inside the black cocoon, the muffled voice was somewhat exasperated.

To think that he, a dignified Kunpeng's son, would one day fall to such a state.

Needing to entrust his life to these two clearly unreliable mixed-blood Yao Beasts.

If this were to be reported back to the Clan, he would surely be ridiculed.

It was just that he was too severely injured to escape on his own.

Otherwise, why would he resort to such a threatening method?

"Alright."

Hearing the existence within the black cocoon say this, Demon Venerable Mu Xue finally steeled her heart and nodded in agreement.

If it didn't work, the worst outcome wouldn't be any worse than now; it would just be death.

She was a dignified Five-Colored Heavenly Scorpion, a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable, how could she be inferior to Tian Xie, who was only at the Nascent Soul realm?

"No need to pack, we'll leave immediately."

Having made her decision, Demon Venerable Mu Xue cast all her worries aside and acted with great efficiency, saying to Tian Xie.

With a thought.

A Divine Thought spread throughout the entire Five-Colored Marsh.

Entering the minds of all the large and small Yao Beasts residing there.

Before Tian Xie could react.

With Five-Colored Yao power flowing around her, Demon Venerable Mu Xue moved, taking Tian Xie and the black cocoon, merging into the Void Realm, and disappearing into the marsh.

After the two Five-Colored Heavenly Scorpions left.

Yao Beasts of all sizes emerged from the Five-Colored Marsh, scattering in all directions.

"Hiss~"

"Quick, there's a disturbance in that Five-Colored Marsh."

"So many great Yao, quick, close the city gates, activate the Formation, and defend against the enemy!"

The streams of Yao Beasts emerging from the marsh passed by the city, alarming the Cultivators within the city, who looked at the scene of myriad Yao moving in unison with horrified expressions, taking a sharp breath.

"It's over..."

Some people felt despair; who could have imagined that the Five-Colored Marsh, which had never experienced a beast tide, would suddenly undergo such a change?

Only the next moment, the figures of those who had already prepared to flee in wait were stunned.

The beast tide did not attack the city; it seemed to be fleeing instead... "Hey, who exactly wants to kill you?"

In the Void Realm, a five-colored streak of light flashed past.

Within the streak of light.

Tian Xie, while guiding the direction, looked at the black cocoon beside him with an unfriendly expression.

"I..."

"I don't know."

After a while, a sound slowly emerged from within the black cocoon.

"This Scorpion thinks you're not very old, but you're so stuffy and old-fashioned. This Scorpion is displeased."

The more Tian Xie thought about it, the angrier he got. He was having a good time in the Five-Colored Marsh.

Suddenly, he discovered this unlucky fellow.

Although he had a backer.

But who knew if any accidents would happen along the way?

If he died just like that, it would truly be too great a loss.

The black cocoon was silent.

Silence.

Tian Xie had no intention of stopping there and continued to babble.

Even if he died, he had to die understanding why.

"Six-Eyed Flying Fish, why aren't you staying in the Demon Domain and running to this place?"

"Six-Eyed Flying Fish?"

"What kind of Yao is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

The black cocoon was puzzled.

"Hmm..."

Tian Xie paused.

"It's normal that you don't know. This is what Old Scorpion heard from my boss. Seeing that you also have a pair of small wings, I just called you that."

"Your boss?"

"What did he say?"

The black cocoon asked.

At this moment, even Demon Venerable Mu Xue, who had been flying at extreme speed, had her attention drawn.

She had heard Tian Xie mention his boss too many times, so much so that she was almost numb to it.

She guessed that such a person might exist, but it certainly wasn't the supreme existence of a Heavenly Venerable as Tian Xie claimed.

Which Heavenly Venerable would be so blind as to take in such a brainless fellow like Tian Xie?

It was only her, out of consideration for their shared Clan, who had always been so tolerant of him.

After all, Tian Xie was so thoughtless that after leaving, he might not necessarily have a way to survive.

Perhaps he would be captured by Cultivators from those great sects and Clans to refine treasures or serve as mounts.

The consequences would certainly be extremely tragic.

"Cough~"

"Boss said this."

Tian Xie's expression froze, and he felt a bit embarrassed, as these words were somewhat difficult to say.

He paused, feeling Demon Venerable Mu Xue's attention still on him.

Tian Xie hardened his heart.

Damn it... just say it... "Love truly needs courage to face the Six-Eyed Flying Fish."

Tian Xie's old face flushed, but he still said it firmly. After speaking, he looked at Bathing Snow, who was carrying him, with tender affection, as if dying here was worth it.

Buzz~

The Void Realm trembled.

The five-colored light became unstable, and the two Yao and one cocoon almost fell out of the Void Realm.

Demon Venerable Mu Xue tried her best to stabilize her aura, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Hehe... that... I speculate that this Six-Eyed Flying Fish must be a kind of evil Yao, specializing in targeting Yao who are truly in love..."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Tian Xie chuckled awkwardly and quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"I have not heard of such a strange Yao."

"The world is truly vast and infinitely mysterious."

The winged black fish inside the black cocoon said leisurely, completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere between the two outside.

"Can you sense the location and trajectory of the person chasing you?"

Demon Venerable Mu Xue glared at Tian Xie, then focused and asked the black cocoon.

"No."

The black cocoon replied without thinking.

"Then you previously..."

Demon Venerable Mu Xue was silenced, then slowly recovered.

"Guessed."

The black cocoon was as always.

"You truly are a good Yao."

Demon Venerable Mu Xue held it in for a long time before praising him.

If it weren't for her apprehension about this damn Kunpeng Bloodline, she would have wanted to kill him first, without needing those people to do it.

"Bathing Snow, how can you say that?"

Tian Xie was surprised.

This Kunpeng was clearly not a reliable fellow, how could she praise him against her will? Was it just because of the Kunpeng Bloodline on his body?

"You are also a good Yao."

Demon Venerable Mu Xue turned her head and said meaningfully.

"Why does it sound like she's scolding me..."

Tian Xie rubbed his head, his small brain finally noticing something amiss.

"You only just realized?"

"I admire you."

The black cocoon mocked him sarcastically.

Like finding joy in suffering, encountering such a foolish fellow, why did he believe him just now?

It would have been better to just wait there, hiding, perhaps there would still be a chance to live.

Now, it's probably completely gone...
