The whole family fled

“Boom…”

The Twelve Demon Generals, united as one, immediately made their move.

Qilin and Little Ga, one relying on his spatial teleportation divine ability and the other on his extreme speed divine ability, were still laughing and joking, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The two were directly pinned to the ground and brutally hammered by the Twelve Demon Generals.

Although Qilin and Little Ga possessed great talent, they were only at the Myriad Laws Realm, while each of the Twelve Demon Generals was at the Venerable Realm.

With a difference of two major realms, how could talent and divine abilities possibly compensate?

Before long, a series of heart-wrenching screams echoed between heaven and earth.

“Master, help!”

Qilin was terrified, multiple injuries adorning his body, as he cried out loudly for help.

As for Little Ga, his mouth was torn askew.

His single word, 'ugly,' had truly touched the inverse scale of the Twelve Demon Generals.

If not for their Master’s sake, they wouldn’t have just torn his mouth; they would have torn his entire body apart.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing silently turned his head away.

Qilin, with that pathetic look on his face, made not only the Twelve Demon Generals but even him want to hit someone.

The Twelve Demon Generals knew their limits when striking, so letting him suffer a bit was fine.

It would also serve to temper the temperaments of this bird and beast.

As for the Phoenix Feather Sect disciples, they were utterly stunned at this moment.

Of course, no one dared to step forward to help.

Although Little Ga was the Divine Bird they worshipped.

However, currently, the true master of the Phoenix Feather Sect was Zhong Qing.

Their master hadn't even spoken, so why should they interfere?

Moreover, the Twelve Demon Generals were too ferocious.

The aura of their Venerable Realm cultivation meant that even if they wanted to help, they were powerless!

Immediately, one by one, they could only choose to remain silent and pretend not to see anything.

And on the mountain peak.

Zhong Qing’s gaze swept across the two million disciples.

At the same time, his Heavenly Eye opened, and the information and cultivation of each disciple fell into Zhong Qing’s eyes one by one.

Involuntarily, he curved his lips into a smile.

Previously, he had created the Skill Pavilion on Liaoqiao Peak, filling the mountain with opportunities.

Logically, these disciples should have experienced a major breakthrough.

However, due to those advanced cultivation techniques, almost all disciples had begun to switch their cultivation methods.

And switching cultivation methods required time, with a blank window and transition period in between.

Therefore, in the previous period, the disciples had not experienced any major breakthroughs, so Zhong Qing had not received much cultivation feedback.

But now.

Zhong Qing looked around, their transition to new cultivation methods seemed to be almost complete, and many had even reached the minor accomplishment stage in their new methods.

It was foreseeable that in the coming period, a wave of major breakthroughs would be ushered in.

The time to harvest the leeks was almost here!

He wondered how much feedback he would receive?

Regarding this!

Zhong Qing was very much looking forward to it.

…

The next few days did not exceed Zhong Qing's expectations.

As the more than two million disciples gradually exerted themselves, his cultivation quickly reached the Returning to One Realm Fourth Heaven!

Moreover, the Returning to One Realm Fourth Heaven was far from the end.

Zhong Qing sensed that for a period of time, his strength would likely increase by one minor realm every few days.

If others were to know Zhong Qing’s speed of cultivation breakthrough, they would probably be scared to death.

One must know that the Returning to One Realm, in the entire cultivation world, could already be considered a pillar-like figure.

For most people, who doesn't take thousands of years to break through a minor realm?

Such a rapid breakthrough of a minor realm in a few days was undoubtedly an extremely explosive existence in the entire cultivation world.

Zhong Qing stated that to achieve this, one only needed enough disciples who were diligent and hardworking.

During Zhong Qing's rapid increase in strength, the entire Phoenix Feather Sect appeared exceptionally calm.

The various disciples diligently cultivated and practiced.

Qilin and Little Ga occasionally provoked the Twelve Demon Generals.

But each time, they were severely punished.

Scarecrow quietly sat in a corner, occasionally pulling out a handful of gold coins to count.

Each time he counted one, he would blow on it, then hold it to his ear to listen.

Upon hearing the unique sound of the gold coin, a smile would appear at the corner of his mouth.

It was in this atmosphere.

Feng Buqun returned with the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

The group immediately went to pay their respects to Zhong Qing.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Feng Buqun, Phoenix Yingtian, and Phoenix Tian immediately paid a grand bow to Zhong Qing.

The other Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds were somewhat uncomfortable.

If nothing unexpected happened, this person would be their master from now on.

And the Old Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Phoenix-Dog Clan, who had always been fearless, felt inexplicably constrained after seeing Zhong Qing.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and moved his body.

He went directly to Zhong Qing.

“Old Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Phoenix-Dog Clan, Phoenix Aotian, brings his entire clan to pledge allegiance, hoping that Sir will take us in!”

Zhong Qing looked at the nearly one hundred figures densely packed before him.

His heart stirred.

These Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds were undeniably powerful.

Even though they had been severely affected by the curse in their early years, causing their strength to decline significantly, especially after just returning to their physical bodies, they still needed a certain amount of time to recover and fully integrate.

But even so.

Now, the lowest cultivation among them was the Returning to One Realm.

There were even thirteen at the Venerable Realm!

As for the Old Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Phoenix-Dog Clan, he could even unleash powerful combat strength above the Venerable Realm.

If all these people could be taken as disciples.

Then in the future, just by helping them recover their cultivation, he would gain a massive amount of cultivation.

And just as Zhong Qing had this thought, a system prompt sounded.

“Host, apart from direct disciples, the current registered disciple template is limited to humans only.”

“Other race quotas are temporarily not open!”

“To open up to all races, the Host needs to complete corresponding tasks in the future!”

The system’s words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fervor in Zhong Qing’s heart.

Was this trash system trying to discriminate against races with him?

What was the point of setting this rule?

Zhong Qing couldn't understand, and when he asked the system, it didn't respond, pretending to be dead.

This left Zhong Qing completely out of temper.

However, he quickly noticed that the system only said it was temporarily not open and could be opened through tasks in the future.

Moreover, considering the overall strength of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, bringing them under his command was, after all, a powerful asset.

Furthermore, was there a way to prevent this group of guys from recovering their strength for now, keeping them suppressed, and then, when he opened up this aspect, bring them in? Wouldn't that be?

One must know, taking the Old Ancestor as an example, if he were to recover to his peak Saint Realm strength, the feedback he would give himself...

Just thinking about it made him feel delighted!

Thinking of this, he curved his lips into a smile.

He turned his head and said to the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds.

“From now on, you will temporarily serve as Protector Elders in the Phoenix Feather Sect!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Phoenix Aotian was overjoyed!

Before coming, even though Phoenix Tian had repeatedly guaranteed him that his Master would surely be willing to take them in.

But before the matter was settled, Phoenix Aotian’s heart had been hanging, fearing some unexpected turn of events.

Now, hearing Zhong Qing’s personal promise.

He finally felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

As the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan pledged allegiance to Zhong Qing.

This scene was just seen by Shen Jinkuo and Fang Buqiu, who were passing by.

This made them feel immense pressure.

They had heard of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

This race possessed powerful talent and extraordinary strength.

They were a famous race in ancient times.

They never expected that even such a powerful existence would now pledge allegiance to their Master.

This made them feel immense pressure.

Previously in the sect, their cultivation was considered the highest.

But now, with the arrival of the Twelve Demon Generals and even the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, their strength instantly dropped to dozens of ranks behind.

It was foreseeable that the arrival of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan would certainly not be the last batch.

As time went on, it was likely that more and more powerful beings would pledge allegiance to their Master.

If they didn't cultivate diligently, they might not even get a chance to run errands for their Master in the future.

Thinking of this situation, both of them felt immense pressure.

They had thought this day would come sooner or later. But they didn't expect it to come so quickly and urgently.
