The two were like sworn enemies, neither gaining nor losing anything.
Zhang Pingfan looked at the Immortal Bird beside him and said, "Your body is indeed a bit large. Can you shrink it? As a Demon Emperor, you should be able to do that, right!"
The Immortal Bird shook its body, and in just a moment, it transformed into a handsome man before Zhang Pingfan. However, he still retained some of the Immortal Bird's characteristics, such as fiery red hair that looked as if it were ablaze. A pair of fiery red wings on his back clearly indicated that this handsome man was no ordinary being.
"This looks much better. At least you don't take up so much space. Lord of the Wilderness City, that's all for today. I'll be going back now, and I'll come again tomorrow!"
"Yes, Master! Farewell, Master!"
Zhang Pingfan, along with the Immortal Bird and Dou Youyou and others, left the Wilderness City.
Upon returning to Pingfan City, Zhang Pingfan turned to look at Dou Youyou and the others. "You all go level up first, and continue the quests tomorrow. You all performed well today, but Qingyu still needs to work harder. You're the only one not yet level 50. Fatty reached level 50 yesterday. If it weren't for this quest, Fatty would have gone for the assessment. Fatty, you go for the assessment later. I'm waiting for your good news!"
Fatty smiled. "Master, don't worry, I guarantee I'll get the Intermediate War God title!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded. "For you, you need to at least get Intermediate War God. For Qingyu, Intermediate War God should be no problem. Bing Shan, you should also be able to get the Intermediate War God title. In short, keep up the good work, everyone!"
"Yes, Master!"
Dou Youyou and the others left to train. Zhang Pingfan took the Immortal Bird to his small courtyard. As soon as he entered, the Immortal Bird's steps suddenly stopped.
What's going on? Why do I feel a terrifying aura inside? No, not just one, but several terrifying auras. What on earth is happening?
Seeing the Immortal Bird frozen at the entrance, Zhang Pingfan turned back and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come in. I have a task for you too!"
With a hesitant heart, the Immortal Bird walked into the courtyard. When he saw Ri Tian sleeping on the doghouse, his heart pounded uncontrollably. When he looked up at the willow tree, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. What kind of demons and monsters are these? This small courtyard is too terrifying. Even the most powerful Demon Emperor would consider it a miracle to walk out alive from here. It's too terrifying!
Ri Tian looked up at the Immortal Bird, then closed his eyes again with disinterest. "Just some mutt, pfft!"
Zhang Pingfan sat on his lounge chair and beckoned the Immortal Bird over. "Immortal Bird, I have a task for you now. I have a sect called the Heavenly God Sect, located in that direction. When you have nothing else to do, you can be the sect's guardian divine beast. Can you complete this task?"
The Immortal Bird felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. He wished he could leave here immediately. "Master, I'm willing. There's no time to delay, I'll go now!"
Saying this, he spread his wings, intending to fly out directly, but found that he couldn't take off at all. Damn it, what kind of magic does this small courtyard have? I can't even fly.
Looking at the Immortal Bird's comical expression, Zhang Pingfan shook his head helplessly. "Don't show off your wings here. Hurry up and go. Remember to go to the Wilderness City tomorrow to deal with the other Demon Emperor you mentioned!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Immortal Bird didn't even pause for a breath before turning and running out the door. Once outside the courtyard, the Immortal Bird took deep breaths. This was the most oppressive day of his life. First, he was forcibly bound by a master-servant contract by this seemingly weak human, and then he came to this terrifying small courtyard. He didn't want to stay a moment longer and flew directly in the direction Zhang Pingfan had indicated.
When the Immortal Bird arrived at the Heavenly God Sect, he felt a sense of relief seeing its appearance, as he didn't sense any oppressive aura here. "Thankfully, those powerful beings are all in that small courtyard, not here!"
But just as he was congratulating himself, he saw an iron rooster in the Heavenly God Sect's square. He looked closely and was instantly terrified. The bloodline of the iron rooster before him was actually 100%. Although it looked harmless, the Immortal Bird's heart was pounding.
The iron rooster looked up at the distant Immortal Bird. "Did the Master send you here?"
The Immortal Bird nodded frantically. In front of such a powerful being, if he didn't nod, he might lose his life. He didn't expect that even after leaving the small courtyard, there were such powerful beings around. "Master sent me to be the guardian divine beast!"
"Oh, don't disturb me if there's nothing else!"
"Yes, sir. I'll stand over there and I promise not to disturb you!"
The iron rooster said nothing more, seemingly accepting the Immortal Bird's actions.

In a realm of endless darkness, a sinister voice echoed. "What is the situation with the Immortal Bird? Was the Wilderness City successfully captured?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency the Demon Emperor, we have not received any intelligence from His Excellency the Immortal Bird. The Lord of the Wilderness City is a peak War God of the Nine Realms. It will definitely take some time to capture him!"
"Our time is very tight. What about the White Tiger? Wasn't he supposed to go with the Immortal Bird?"
"His Excellency the White Tiger said that if His Excellency the Immortal Bird cannot capture the Wilderness City by tomorrow, he will join forces with His Excellency the Immortal Bird to attack the Wilderness City directly!"
"Very good, I don't want any mistakes to happen here, or we cannot bear any consequences!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Demon Emperor!"
The next morning, before Zhang Pingfan could even log into the game, the system sent him a notification. "The Wilderness City has been attacked again. Please proceed to support as soon as possible!"
Zhang Pingfan hurriedly got out of bed. "Damn it, they're launching a surprise attack so early in the morning!"
Dou Youyou, who was sleeping beside him, asked groggily, "Master, what's wrong? What surprise attack?"
Zhang Pingfan said, "The Wilderness City is being attacked so early in the morning. I need to go into the game quickly!"
Dou Youyou quickly got up. Her loose pajamas accentuated her shapely figure, making Zhang Pingfan's mouth water. He immediately pounced on her, pinning her beneath him. "You vixen, how dare you try to seduce your master? Let me see how I punish you!" He then kissed her fiercely, his hands roaming over her body.
Dou Youyou let out a soft hum of protest, but it was no use.
