"Posterity has the beautiful titles of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick for advisors. Our Old Tie is the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick of ancient times."
"Haha, that's right. Old Tie is the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick of our Jiuli. Whoever gains Old Tie gains the world."
Upon hearing the magical explanation from the ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beast, Chi You and his group burst into laughter, instantly forgetting how this old bear had sold out their big brother back then.
Di Yao, standing to the side, watched this group of 'ruthless individuals' with a melancholic expression.
He couldn't help but think: *Sigh, these old fellows. One is planning against my grandson, and the other is scheming against my ancestor. You guys can do your research, but you're doing it right in front of me. Do you even see me as a person?*
Chi You and his companions stopped laughing and said to the ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beast, "Old Tie, why don't you go and bring this kid over for us to meet?"
The ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beast quickly shook his massive head and, using a fan made from demon dragon wings that he had somehow acquired, fanned himself, saying,
"Absolutely not. The depths of the void are too dangerous, and this kid's cultivation is too low. He wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the void."
"So, it's better if we go. This will also show this kid how much we Jiuli care about him."
Chi You frowned and said, "Old Tie, we are here to guard the outer perimeter of the Sea of Fortune. If we leave, it will take at least half a day to return. What if there's a change among the myriad heavens, or if those progenitors in the Sea of Fortune need help?"
"No matter. The battle among the progenitor-level seniors in the Sea of Fortune won't conclude in less than half a year."
"As for the Great Emperors of the myriad heavens, they are too busy hiding from us to cause any trouble. Moreover, we can ride Little Kunpeng on this trip to the void. With his ability to traverse the void, we can make a round trip in just an hour."
The ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beast said confidently.
Di Yao, standing beside them, whispered to Elder Xuan Four and Little Kunpeng, "Brothers, I remember this idiot bear wasn't like this before, was he?"
Elder Xuan Four shook his head. "Forget about before, he wasn't like this even a few days ago. Ever since he drank the soup made from the brain of Lie Tian, that old scoundrel's grandson, he's become like this."
Little Kunpeng looked at Elder Xuan Four with curiosity. "Oh my, Fourth Brother, are you speaking in tongue twisters here? Why do I feel like you and Old Tie..."
"My grandson is already so pitiful, and yet you four little brats still want to eat him. Zhu Jiuyin, I'm telling you, those four little brats are as good as dead. No one can save them."
Before Zhu Jiuyin could speak, a gruff voice echoed from afar.
"Oh my, why are you so arrogant? You say those four little brats are as good as dead. It's not that I look down on you, Lie Tian, but if you dare to touch those four children, try me, and I'll annihilate your entire clan."
A Xuanwu, even larger than Lie Tian, slowly emerged from the depths of the Sea of Fortune.
It was the newly promoted ancestor of the Xuanwu.
The Xuanwu tribe were the darlings of the Primordial Era. Among their peers, Xuanwu not only possessed the strongest physical bodies but also a defense that was virtually impenetrable by opponents of the same level.
Ancestor Xuanwu relied on these two strengths. Unless it was a progenitor at the level of Fuxi of the Human Race, he could be injured. As for Lie Tian, a mid-level progenitor, he was simply not a threat in his eyes.
"Pah, come on, Lie Tian. Try to act tough again. See if Zhu Jiuyin and I can't kill you."
Ancestor Xuanwu said in a very street-smart manner.
