Ao Xue listened to the furious words, and seeing the deeply resentful look on Kun Peng's face, sensed something was amiss. She looked towards the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
"What, does this fellow also have a grudge against us? Did you and Senior snatch his position?"
Ao Xue asked. It seemed Kun Peng held a considerable grudge against Senior. How many positions had been snatched to provoke such intense killing intent?
"It wasn't about snatching positions. It was merely that his offspring fought us for a fortuitous encounter back then."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng explained. The demon from the Northern Underworld Palace had stated that their leader was a descendant of the Great Sage Kun Peng of the Northern Underworld Palace. It seemed true now, not just a threat.
"And then?"
Ao Xue had never heard of such a thing and was curious.
Senior Xu Fang was blessed with unparalleled fortune; for some ignorant creature to contend with him for opportunities, was it self-seeking or truly courting death?
"What else? They turned to ash and dust, and we sank that small island too."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng shrugged. At the time, he felt Senior had been too heavy-handed, perhaps a bit excessive. Now, he thought they should have been more thorough back then, to prevent this Kun Peng from tracking them.
Ao Xue nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes, that's something Senior would do."
Senior Xu Fang always acted with caution. After silencing his enemies, he naturally ensured all traces were erased.
"Enough!"
Kun Peng was furious and roared.
"You chatter incessantly even as death approaches. Do you truly not place the Great Sage Kun Peng in your eyes?"
"Very well! Then I shall show you the might of the Great Sage Kun Peng!"
Kun Peng had come with great fury to seek revenge, but instead of meeting Xu Fang, he encountered Xu Fang's two minor followers.
However, Kun Peng was overjoyed. It was best they were separated; he could eliminate these two first, making it much easier to deal with Xu Fang.
Unexpectedly, these two isolated followers were conversing right in front of him. Was this utter disregard for his presence?
Kun Peng would not allow them to look down on him like this. While he might not have absolute certainty against Xu Fang, subduing these two minor followers would be a simple matter.
As Kun Peng spoke, he moved his mind, and two beams of light emerged from his hand, presenting two treasures.
"Hmph! You have treasures, and I don't? Behold, my Halberd!"
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng knew the situation couldn't be resolved peacefully and immediately produced his treasure.
Grasping the Halberd, he tossed the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle to Ao Xue.
As the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle swayed, the live broadcast feed also began to shake, immediately drawing dissatisfaction from the other magical treasures.
"Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, can you be steadier? It's one thing for the live broadcast to differ from the description, but you're swaying around. Do you really think we're that easily fooled?"
"Exactly. Even if we can't see the dramatic familial conflict, can you at least let us watch a revenge drama in comfort?"
"Hey! Who do you think will win? I'm betting on Kun Peng!"
The magical treasures were adaptable. If they couldn't see the dramatic conflict, a revenge drama wasn't bad either.
Seeing Kun Peng and the other two preparing to fight, they began to discuss amongst themselves, guessing who would win and who would lose.
"Houtian Spiritual Treasures? Heh!"
Kun Peng glanced at the treasures in the hands of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, shaking his head with disdain evident on his face.
"You have no chance of winning against me. Don't resist futilely; a swift death is better than prolonged suffering!"
These words immediately displeased the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, who retorted.
"Don't be too arrogant. We are two!"
"Indeed, your cultivation realm is only slightly higher than ours. We are Dragon and Phoenix united; how could we fear you!"
Kun Peng chuckled, as if he heard something amusing.
"Can being numerous grant you the power to do whatever you please? Can magical treasures do whatever they please?"
"Then I'm sorry, my magical treasures are more advanced, so I shall do whatever I please as well!"
As Kun Peng spoke, he moved his mind, and the two treasures in his hands surged with power, their light scattering in all directions.
Feeling the aura of the treasures, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue exchanged a glance and smiled.
"You speak so grandly, you frightened me. I thought it was some extraordinary treasure."
"Yes, it turns out they are merely Houtian Spiritual Treasures. What's the difference between them and us?"
Kun Peng's two treasures floated out, hovering beside him.
A sword and a miniature palace, exuding powerful energies, but all were Houtian Spiritual Treasures.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue assessed the situation, feeling that with the Halberd and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, they might still stand a chance.
The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, meanwhile, had regained its confidence and began to boast to everyone in the video chat.
"Gentlemen, despite these unexpected turns, I shall now demonstrate how to utterly crush Kun Peng's magical treasures!"
The Halberd chimed in.
"Precisely. They are all Houtian Spiritual Treasures, and we have two people on our side. I truly can't see how we would lose?"
The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle and the Halberd were both brimming with confidence, as if their masters were certain of victory.
With such an advantage, it was hard to imagine how they could lose!
However, as they spoke, instead of gaining the approval of the other magical treasures, they were met with摇头 and sighs.
"Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, take the advice of your Uncle Tea. The situation on the field is beyond your grasp. Hurry and take your master, and flee to find Young Master Xu!"
"Indeed, the Northern Underworld Palace and the Northern Underworld Sword, though merely Houtian Spiritual Treasures, are not something you can contend with."
"Correct. If you don't want to die, hurry up. The Demon Master's Palace is moving; goodbye!"
Kun Peng channeled his magic power, and the miniature palace in his hand soared into the sky, rapidly expanding.
Before the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue could even comprehend what was happening, they felt the heavens and earth suddenly darken.
The palace treasure had expanded to a scale that stretched as far as the eye could see, magnificent and vast, blotting out the sun and covering the earth, like an apocalyptic shadow descending upon the primordial world.
The powerful aura emanating from it surged down, completely enveloping the area.
Within it, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue felt an immense pressure rolling in, suppressing them.
Looking up, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue saw the words "Northern Underworld Palace" emblazoned in golden light upon the colossal palace, shining brilliantly.
"No way, this is the Northern Underworld Palace?"
"Kun Peng, you have no integrity! How can you bring your entire home with you!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue stared at the manifested Northern Underworld Palace, realizing it was Kun Peng's palace, and felt utterly speechless.
They had seen many treasures, but they had never encountered a palace treasure like this!
Who would do such a thing? Traveling the primordial world, carrying a palace with them everywhere they went? Was this the meaning of "wherever I am, that is home"?
