The overwhelming figures surrounded the Golden-Winged Great Roc's location, leaving no escape.
They gazed at the Golden-Winged Great Roc with immense hatred.
"Hmph! Traitor, you can't escape this time!"
"Indeed, this fellow possesses swift divine abilities and is of the Phoenix clan. We must surround him tightly to prevent his escape!"
"Hmph! Now not even a fly can get out, let alone such a large bird!"
As these beings spoke, they slowly approached, shrinking the encirclement and further reducing the Golden-Winged Great Roc's space to move.
"What's going on, why are they targeting me like this!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc was astonished by the display, wondering why these guys were surrounding him right from the start!
Even as the Second Prince of the Phoenix clan, he had never been surrounded by so many people upon returning to the clan!
He immediately unleashed his imposing aura, revealing his Taiyi Golden Immortal realm cultivation, hoping to deter these individuals and prevent them from acting rashly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Golden-Winged Great Roc revealed his cultivation, the many figures surrounding him not only failed to retreat but grew even more resentful.
"Damn it! This fellow is still preparing to fight!"
"Villain, his intentions are heinous!"
"Everyone, don't be afraid, don't panic. We are many, and he is just one!"
Although these beings feared the Golden-Winged Great Roc's Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the hatred on their faces outweighed their fear. They resolutely held their positions, refusing to retreat.
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Roc became even more confused.
"What's going on, do you dragons like bullying people this much?"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc was indignant. It was one thing for Ao Xue to bully him, but her clansmen were now surrounding him without any regard for right or wrong. Did they really think he, the Second Prince of the Phoenix clan, was someone any dragon could bully?
Indeed, the beings surrounding the Golden-Winged Great Roc were members of the Dragon clan.
They were a throng at this moment, completely surrounding the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
Because of Ao Xue, the Golden-Winged Great Roc did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, his Taiyi Golden Immortal realm cultivation displayed earlier would have already scattered them.
"You villain, after committing such wicked deeds, you still dare to be so stubborn. Truly detestable!"
A powerful voice boomed, and a majestic middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. The dragons automatically parted to let him pass.
"What wicked deeds have I committed!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc asked in confusion. Although the Dragon and Phoenix clans had a deadly feud, he couldn't recall doing anything specifically targeting the Dragon clan. Just recently, he had even helped Ao Xue rescue several Dragon clan members!
"Good, still playing dumb even now. How can I, Ao Guang, let you go!"
The middle-aged man declared, unleashing his imposing aura and roaring loudly as he flew towards the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
"Wait! You are Ao Guang!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man announce his name, the Golden-Winged Great Roc suddenly remembered. Wasn't this Ao Xue's father, Ao Guang?
"So you are Ao Guang, Ao Xue's father. I have heard your name for a long time!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc said, cupping his hands in greeting. However, Ao Guang ignored him and directly sent him flying.
"You hateful big bird, you held my daughter Ao Xue hostage, and you dare to mention her name. How detestable!"
Ao Guang exclaimed, pursuing him again.
Previously, Dragon clan members had reported that a Phoenix clan member had taken their daughter Ao Xue hostage. Ao Guang, hearing this, was naturally alarmed and dispatched his forces to search for Ao Xue's whereabouts.
Today, he finally encountered the culprit here. After confirming with the clan member, Ao Guang immediately knew that this was the one who had abducted his daughter!
At this moment, he could not listen to anything the Golden-Winged Great Roc said, launching continuous attacks, eager to eliminate him quickly.
Although Ao Guang was only at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he was truly no match for the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
However, knowing that he was Ao Xue's father, the Golden-Winged Great Roc dared not retaliate. Facing Ao Guang's attacks, he could only continuously evade.
"It's a misunderstanding, Dragon King, please stop!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc shouted while dodging Ao Guang's attacks.
What hostage? He was lucky not to be held hostage by her.
"Misunderstanding? Heh heh! Die for me!"
Ao Guang roared furiously, launching another heavy blow.
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Roc knew that this esteemed individual would not listen to him properly. However, if he were to retaliate, thinking of Ao Xue's demeanor, the Golden-Winged Great Roc still dared not. He could only try his best to dodge.
Seeing Ao Guang's attacks becoming increasingly fierce, the Golden-Winged Great Roc gritted his teeth and broke through the Dragon clan's encirclement with a collision.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Ao Guang shouted as he watched the Golden-Winged Great Roc flee. With a wave of his hand, he led countless dragons in pursuit.
Alas, the Golden-Winged Great Roc was now fleeing for his life, with countless dragons chasing behind him, shouting threats and curses, making the Golden-Winged Great Roc appear utterly pathetic.
Xu Fang stood before the cave entrance, watching the scene unfold. The anxiety that had been hanging over him finally subsided.
"I thought it was some formidable enemy, but it turns out to be the Dragon clan!"
Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
Since it was the Dragon clan and they were beating up the Golden-Winged Great Roc, then everything was fine.
After all, the Golden-Winged Great Roc was tough and could withstand a few more blows without dying.
"Senior, you've come out, quickly come and help!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc, spotting Xu Fang from afar, shouted for help.
"No, no, you guys have fun. I have other things to do!"
Xu Fang waved his hand and returned directly into the cave.
The Golden-Winged Great Roc, seeing this, wondered why his senior had abandoned him. However, glancing back at the fiercely approaching Dragon clan, he had no time to think and immediately resumed his escape.
Xu Fang sat in meditation within the cave, listening to the commotion outside. Soon, the cries of the Golden-Winged Great Roc could be heard.
"Don't pull my feathers!"
"Damn it! Don't bite, are you hygienic or not!"
"If you keep this up, I'll get angry. Stop hitting me!"
Hearing these sounds, Xu Fang naturally understood that the Golden-Winged Great Roc, with his two fists unable to contend with four hands, had run out of stamina and was caught by the Dragon clan.
"Heh heh! Serves him right. Did he really think the Dragon princess was so easy to mess with?"
Xu Fang chuckled. He thought the fellow was reckless, flirting with Ao Xue, and now he had the Dragon clan coming after him!
However, as the screams grew more intense, Xu Fang also worried that the Dragon clan might outright kill the Golden-Winged Great Roc, so he decided not to stand by and watch.
"Hey, Ao Xue, wake up!"
Xu Fang called out, rousing Ao Xue, who was in seclusion.
"Senior, why... Hmm, why is it so noisy outside?"
Ao Xue opened her eyes, looking bewildered.
"Oh."
Xu Fang replied.
"Your Dragon clan members are roasting bird wings. Do you want to join?"
