Xiao Qing inexplicably felt a bit of romance.

At least, Ye Tian’s other women couldn’t accompany Ye Tian to die together like she could.

In this regard, she was truly satisfied.

"......"

Ye Tian’s head was filled with black lines, speechless. He increasingly felt that he had underestimated Xiao Qing’s obsession with him. He could really hear that kind of expectation mixed with a hint of anticipation in Xiao Ya’s current words, not a bit of panic or fear.

Simply a madwoman.

At this moment, the young woman among the four clan members from the Ancient Golden Peng Clan spoke: "Human, just for your courage, the courage to cause trouble on Roc Mountain, you are qualified to know our names. I am Jin Qing, this is Jin Luo, this is Uncle Jin Shouyi, and this is Uncle Jin Shouchen."

In fact, the entire Ancient Golden Peng Clan didn’t have names during the Ancient Era. Later, after establishing the Ancient Desolate Empire, to manage and develop better, they learned from humans and adopted names. The surname Jin was chosen from the golden in Golden Peng, used exclusively by the Ancient Golden Peng Clan. In the Ancient Desolate Empire, anyone with the surname Jin must belong to the Ancient Golden Peng Clan.

"Jin Qing, why are you saying so much to a human ant? Just deal with him! Or, should I take action?"

Jin Luo said lightly, with a tone of speechlessness and reproach. He felt that Jin Qing was wasting words on a human ant, which was an insult to the identity of his own Ancient Golden Peng Clan. Although this human kid was somewhat special, being the only human in millions of years to dare cause trouble on Roc Mountain, it could only be said that the human kid had a hole in his brain, even dumber than other human ants. What was there to say?

"Right, be a bit more gentle when you strike, don’t let him die too quickly."

Jin Luo added, originally enjoying teasing his Spirit Ear Cat Clan maid. Happily so, suddenly he was told to come to Roc Mountain to resolve a matter, naturally felt unhappy, let alone when he found out that the matter to be resolved was merely a few human ants, wasn’t that disgusting?

Therefore, he didn’t want Ye Tian to die so easily.

"I’ll try my best."

Jin Qing nodded seriously, but couldn’t be sure, because even if she controlled her strength very precisely, it wasn’t something mere humans could withstand most of the time. In Jin Qing’s understanding, the human race was much weaker than any of the Beast Clans in the Desolate Beast Empire. For this reason alone, she couldn’t understand why the elders said the Beast Clan couldn’t leave Wuming Mountain to provoke humans.

"Ye Tian." At the same second, Ye Tian stepped forward and spoke, mentioning his own name. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xiao Qing and Ning Chaotian were beyond tense, yet dared not speak, afraid of disturbing Ye Tian.

But at that moment.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Did I see wrong? The daughter of the elder of the always extremely proud Ancient Golden Peng Clan, actually wanting to duel with a human, and not just any human, but one whose realm is inferior to yours, hahaha..."

Another sudden voice descended.

A beautiful woman in a purple-red long dress fell from the sky, accompanied by an elder. The elder was an existence at the third transition of the Supreme Martial Realm.

The skin of this red-clad woman was extraordinarily fair, almost translucent, ice-like and snow-white. Her features were quite exquisite, definitely a beauty. However, her mockery and disdain at the moment were unabated, domineering, her pretty almond-shaped eyes coldly laughed as she looked at Jin Qing.

"Bai Ruixin!!! What are you here for?"

Jin Qing’s expression changed slightly, with fiery eyes full of hostility, turning to stare closely at her.

"Why? Although this is Roc Mountain, the territory of your Ancient Golden Peng Clan, we of the Bai Feng Clan come and go as we please. Can your Ancient Golden Peng Clan control it?" Bai Ruixin scoffed.

"You..." Jin Qing’s face turned even darker, and she had the heart of a killer.

The Bai Feng Clan has always been mortal enemies with the Ancient Golden Peng Clan.

No choice, the two are somewhat similar, after all, they both lean towards bird species.

Both fast, both startlingly huge in original form.

Etc., sharing many similarities.

The Ancient Golden Peng is roughly in the top five among the Ten Great Relics, vying for the top three, and the Bai Feng Clan is similarly ranked, on par with the Ancient Golden Peng.

This fueled the friction and hatred between the two great clans.

From high-level to juniors, from core bloodline members to external bloodline members, whenever people from the Ancient Golden Peng Clan and Bai Feng Clan crossed paths, they’d fight. Oftentimes, it could result in death.

Bai Ruixin and Jin Qing were similar, both among the younger generation of their respective clans, with decent status and decent strength. Last time they happened to meet in Desolate City, and both wanted a piece of jewelry crafted by a human artisan, resulting in a big fight, where Jin Qing had a slight advantage.

"Why? Is the Bai Feng Clan’s direct provocation today an intention for a showdown with my Ancient Golden Peng Clan?"

Jin Luo spoke, while both Jin Shouyi and Jin Shouchen looked at the third level of the Supreme Martial Realm elder of the Bai Feng Clan with caution, even quietly preparing to contact other strong people of the Ancient Golden Peng Clan. An opponent at the third level of the Supreme Martial Realm could instantly kill them. Even though they were of the Supreme Martial Realm, ten at the first level couldn’t match one at the third transition, the gap was too vast.

Thankfully, at this moment, there was no sign that the white-robed elder of the Bai Feng Clan had any intention of taking action.

"I am Bai Shun. This time, I am here on the Clan Leader’s orders, to look for Phoenix Essence within Roc Mountain." The elder of the Bai Feng Clan said calmly.

"How dare you!!! This Roc Mountain belongs to my Ancient Golden Peng Clan. Without the permission of my clan, your Bai Feng Clan’s actions are an incitement to war. Do you truly think my clan fears you?!"

Jin Shouyi shouted, face severe and furious.

The Bai Feng Clan had become increasingly arrogant and presumptuous.

Especially months ago, when Roc Mountain suddenly emitted phoenix lights one day...

Since then, the Bai Feng Clan has persistently wanted to explore Roc Mountain. It was said that the reason for the soaring phoenix lights that day was because some miners dug up Phoenix Essence. Phoenix Essence is the concentrated remainder of a deceased supreme being from the Phoenix Clan, an absolute treasure, extremely important, especially to the Bai Feng Clan, which is the Phoenix Clan within the Ancient Desolate Empire.

Jin Shouchen had already unhesitatingly contacted other true core strong people of the Ancient Golden Peng Clan.

This matter wasn’t that simple anymore.

"We just want to explore a bit, not to claim Roc Mountain. Is there a need to be so stingy?"

Bai Shun laughed, the old face with a somewhat determined smile.
