Even the emperor would have to kneel.

The Beast Clan Secret Realm is vast!

It is divided into four regions in total.

They are the Land of Silent Extinction, the Five Elements Land, the Nurturing Divine Land, and a Lost Land.

Before the Beast Clan Secret Realm appeared, this place was once a famous existence in Zhongzhou.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a terrifying immortal war broke out here.

The blood of immortals dripped down, crushing mountains, rivers, and earth veins, forming a vast and boundless abyss.

It created a forbidden land.

The reason Phoenix Aotian was confident he could withstand the Dust Emperor here back then.

Aside from his confidence in his own array formations, he also relied on the power of the terrain.

Of course, the legend is too ancient, and the truthfulness of the immortal war legend can no longer be verified.

But this place is indeed a strange land.

Amidst the undulating mountain ranges!

A golden mountain stands openly among the mountains.

It appears exceptionally brilliant and dazzling.

At the foot of the mountain, a figure is wielding a sickle, digging into the golden mountain.

His speed is not fast!

But the results are very pleasing.

With a swing of the sickle, a large chunk of gold, like cutting tofu, directly falls into his hand.

Then he exerts a little force.

The gold in his palm is directly kneaded and deformed, finally turning into golden coins.

He is none other than the Scarecrow who ran out of Zhong Qing's Small World.

As golden coins are born in the Scarecrow's hands one by one.

The curve of his mouth rises.

After inspecting each one and blowing on it to hear that unique jingle of golden coins, the upward curve becomes even more exaggerated.

At this moment, the Scarecrow looks very much like an ambitious young man working on his career.

In front of him, a large section of the golden mountain has been hollowed out.

It is clear that he has been digging here for quite some time.

And he is immersed in the joy of digging the golden mountain, unable to extricate himself.

A gentle breeze blows!

The mountains are silent.

Only the Scarecrow is left grunting and digging the golden mountain.

Every time he digs and refines a handful of golden coins, the curve of the Scarecrow's mouth rises a bit.

Thus, who knows how much time passed.

With a swing of his sickle, he dug out another chunk of gold.

However, after this swing of the sickle, he directly dug out a hole.

The cave space is about a hundred feet, and there is also a figure in the cave.

He is chained by a golden chain.

His true form is indeed a Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound.

However, unlike other Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds who are all remnant souls.

This one possesses a physical body.

His name is Phoenix Tian!

He is the son of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan leader.

And also the grandson of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Dog Ancestor.

As for why he is imprisoned here?

It is because the entire Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan suffered from the Curse Killing Art back then, and only because Phoenix Tian has a special physique, he could survive without separating his physical body from his soul.

However, the influence of the curse still remains.

Therefore, Phoenix Aotian took action, using the Five Elements Gold to temporarily suppress the curse.

But Phoenix Tian is a restless person, running out of the mountain three or five times, which led to him being chained with a golden chain and imprisoned here.

Phoenix Tian has forgotten how long it has been since he went out.

He has also forgotten how long it has been since he spoke to anyone.

He doesn't even know how things are outside.

At this moment, seeing the Scarecrow was truly like seeing a close relative.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

He looked at the Scarecrow with a curious expression.

He was a bit puzzled by the Scarecrow's actions.

Facing Phoenix Tian's eager inquiry, the Scarecrow directly chose to ignore him.

He continued his grand mining endeavor.

Phoenix Tian was not annoyed.

Having been lonely for a long time, he yearned for a living companion.

The appearance of the Scarecrow, in his opinion, was nothing short of a gift from the heavens.

He even bothered to care about the Scarecrow's identity.

"My name is Phoenix Tian, young master of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan. Can we be friends?"

The Scarecrow still did not respond.

However, Phoenix Tian tirelessly kept finding topics, hoping to elicit a response from the Scarecrow.

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, the Scarecrow simply did not answer.

Then, a strange scene appeared in the cave.

One person was talking incessantly, while the other was diligently digging.

They were strangers to each other, yet there was an unusual harmony.

Subsequently, it evolved into Phoenix Tian watching the Scarecrow mine.

He felt that refining gold ore into golden coins seemed like a very interesting thing.

He imitated him, using his claws to pry off a chunk of gold nearby, and after refining it into a golden coin.

"For you!"

He held the golden coin and offered it.

This action successfully attracted the Scarecrow's attention.

His deep eyes flickered a few times before he accepted the golden coin.

Then, the Scarecrow was seen wielding his sickle and directly striking the golden chain that bound him.

This action made Phoenix Yu very happy.

Because he felt that he had gained the Scarecrow's goodwill.

However, he still said, "Brother, don't waste your effort."

"This golden lock was refined by my ancestor and contains the power of rules."

"With my ancestor's strength, unless he wants to release me, even a Saint Realm expert would not be able to break this golden chain."

While he was speaking.

He heard a click, and the golden chain that bound him snapped.

"Hiss…"

This scene made Phoenix Tian's eyes widen.

This was not an ordinary golden chain, but one transformed by rules.

The power of rules is superior to the power of laws.

That is a mighty power that only Saint Realm experts can master.

The Scarecrow could easily cut off this power of rules.

Could it be that this is an expert above the Saint Realm?

As Phoenix Tian's thoughts surged.

After cutting the chain, the Scarecrow's momentum did not decrease.

It just swept past Phoenix Tian's body.

This made Phoenix Tian's face turn pale with fright.

This was a sickle that could even cut off a rule-bound lock.

If he took a hit, how could he survive?

"Stop!"

He shrieked.

Then he found that after the dark sickle swept past his body, he had no injuries, and instead felt an unprecedented lightness.

Phoenix Tian quickly examined his body.

Upon this examination, something astonishing happened to him.

He found that the curse on him was gone!

"What kind of heaven-defying method is this?"

At this moment, he looked at the Scarecrow, no longer as calm as before.

Instead, his face was filled with shock and emotion.

One must know that it was a Curse Killing Art unleashed by a Great Emperor!

It was a forbidden art that even his ancestor could do nothing about.

Although he had a special physique, his resistance to this Curse Killing Art was dozens or even hundreds of times that of his clansmen.

But if it weren't for this golden mountain suppressing it, the Curse Killing Art would still continuously weaken his soul.

Yet now, such a forbidden art was swept away with a single swing of a sickle.

This scene brought unparalleled shock to Phoenix Tian.

Even when he knew his ancestor was going to challenge the Great Emperor back then, the impact was not as intense as it was now.

And at this moment, the Scarecrow, after swinging one strike, once again lowered his head and began mining.

Phoenix Tian's chest rose and fell erratically.

He seriously suspected.

If this strike carried killing intent and landed on his head.

Even a Great Emperor would probably have to kneel.
