Shen Xuan performed Concealing Breath and Invisibility, stealthily moving forward without a sound.

Within the plane tree forest, fiery flames erupted.

A majestic spirit bird, its wings ablaze, emitted a series of clear cries, battling fiercely against four cultivators.

"It’s not a demon bird?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

He had always thought the fiery phoenix was a demon bird.

But it turned out to be a genuine spirit bird.

All the surrounding plane trees were spirit trees, exhaling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

This plane tree forest was a rare Spirit Vein within the Demon Realm.

"A Tier Three Upper Grade Spiritual Land. Quite impressive!"

This place could serve as the dojo of a Golden Core True Master.

Shen Xuan observed the four cultivators attacking the fiery phoenix, two men and two women, occupying four positions.

They wore uniform white Daoist robes with cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, clearly disciples of the same sect.

Their cooperation was seamless and tacit.

"So, they are from Baixiao Sect."

Shen Xuan recognized the sect emblem on their Daoist robes.

The four wielded water bottle-like spiritual artifacts, spraying strands of silvery Spirit Water at the fiery phoenix.

"Is this the Silver Frost Spirit Water?"

No wonder they seemed so confident.

In Shen Xuan’s view, the way they used the Silver Frost Spirit Water was incredibly wasteful.

The fiery phoenix emitted demon flames, suppressed by the Silver Frost Spirit Water, keeping the flames controlled within a certain range.

A square-faced male cultivator stood to the east, wielding an azure Magic Sword, its Sword Light sweeping up waves and walls of water, foiling the spread of the demon flames.

In the south stood a tall female cultivator, persistently activating a Tier Three Ice Talisman flashing with cold light, disrupting the fiery phoenix.

To the west stood a sturdy man, casting a soil-yellow Great Seal, which transformed into heavy mountain illusions, forcefully smashing from above.

The northern female cultivator, with a graceful figure, held a jade flute by her cherry lips, and its sound transformed into invisible ripples, assaulting the fiery phoenix’s Divine Soul.

The four formed a battle formation, both offensive and defensive.

Under the siege of the four, the fiery phoenix faintly fell into a disadvantage.

Shen Xuan’s gaze swept over the four of Baixiao Sect.

"Two at Middle Stage of True Pill, two at Early Stage, still quite weak..."

Shen Xuan mused to himself.

They could gang up on the fiery phoenix not just due to their perfect cooperation.

The main reason was how the Silver Frost Spirit Water restrained the demon flames of the fiery phoenix.

Nonetheless, the fiery phoenix, possessing an ancient True Spirit bloodline, was formidable.

How could it be so easily trapped?

Shen Xuan felt the four of Baixiao Sect underestimated the fiery phoenix.

Indeed, the fiery phoenix grew impatient.

It flapped its wings toward the square-faced male cultivator, sending dozens of basin-sized crimson fireballs, like a hailstorm from the sky.

The water wall was punched with large holes by the crimson fire clusters, constantly dissipating, about to collapse.

The square-faced male wielded the Magic Sword swiftly, replenishing the water wall with Spiritual Power, in a frantic struggle.

The fiery phoenix seemed displeased with the sturdy man’s Great Seal from the west.

With a long cry, it sprayed a stream of flames from its sharp beak, burning the mountain illusion of the Great Seal into haziness.

The battle was unusually fierce, with continuous booming sounds.

Though the surrounding ancient plane trees weren’t ordinary wood, they were scorched black by scattered flames.

Shen Xuan hid on one side, watching the fiery phoenix’s combat.

The four True Masters of Baixiao Sect did not occupy too much of his thoughts.

"Strange."

In Shen Xuan’s view, the fiery phoenix was quite peculiar.

It surely wasn’t fighting with full force.

Each time it almost broke through, it would halt.

Giving time for the four of Baixiao Sect to fill gaps and surround.

With the sound of thunderous clashes.

An extreme aura suddenly arose.

"Not good, this beast is about to unleash a big move. Fellow disciples, do not hold back!"

The square-faced male shouted loudly.

The next moment.

Golden flames blossomed from the fiery phoenix, strands of scorching heat radiated outward.

The Spiritual Power within the entire forest suddenly became tumultuous, apparently drawn, rushing into the fiery phoenix’s golden flames.

Within moments.

The golden flames surged, transforming into a sea of fire, spreading in all directions.

A peculiar Dao Rhyme of Endless Life suddenly emerged, rapidly strengthening, making the golden flames even more dazzling.

No matter what it touched, everything in its path started burning vigorously.

"Such powerful demon flames!"

Shen Xuan took a cold breath.

This was the true Divine Power of the fiery phoenix.

The golden flames possessed an aura of burning all things, never extinguishing.

Even the demonic Qi in the air was ignited.

Not even hard stone could escape.

Nothing could resist.

The four of Baixiao Sect simultaneously activated their water bottle artifacts.

Strands of Silver Frost Spirit Water shot out like silver fountains.

However, what happened next astonished them.

The Silver Frost Spirit Water ignited upon contact with the golden flames.

"Run!"

The square-faced male decided immediately, issuing the order to retreat.

The four of Baixiao Sect fled in panic.

Curiously, the fiery phoenix didn’t block them.

In its eyes, there seemed to be a hint of mockery.

Watching the blazing sea, Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

This fiery phoenix’s demon flames were far more formidable than imagined.

He could see clearly.

The fiery phoenix was at least Tier Three Upper Grade.

It could very likely be Tier Three Top Grade.

During the siege by the four True Masters of Baixiao Sect, it always held back.

Should he abandon or fight hard?

As Shen Xuan pondered.

His ears caught a crisp girl’s voice.

"Boy, you’ve watched for a long time, what are you thinking about?"
