One day later...

Inside the main hall of the Murong imperial family, the patriarch Murong Bo sat in the center, while a scout below reported on the situation in Fengtian City.

"Master, the matter from yesterday has been thoroughly investigated."

"Oh? Tell me, what exactly happened in the south?"

"Master, a divine phoenix appeared in Fengtian City yesterday. According to the information we've gathered, this divine phoenix was with several young people."

"Have you found out the identities of these young people? Which sect or family do they belong to?"

"Patriarch... we couldn't find out. Nobody knows these five people. The oldest is only in his early twenties, and the youngest is a little girl who is only five years old. According to the information we found, this divine beast phoenix is ​​likely the five-year-old girl's, because many people saw the divine beast phoenix return to the little girl's shoulder after it made its move, and it was very close to the little girl."

Upon hearing the scout's words, Murong Bo fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, "The ancestor said that what attacked them yesterday was a beast's roar, not a phoenix."

"Are there any other demonic beasts with those five people?" Murong Bo asked.

"Yes, the little girl was also holding a small demon beast in her arms. The young master of the Qian family in Fengtian City took a fancy to the two demon beasts on the little girl and tried to steal them, which led to the Qian family being wiped out."

"That's right. The one who attacked the Ancestor yesterday was most likely the demonic beast in the little girl's arms. These five people are no ordinary individuals! To go out on a training expedition and actually use a quasi-Emperor level divine beast, a phoenix, and a quasi-Emperor level demonic beast as protectors, could they be from a hidden sect or family in the Southern Region's Demonic Beast Forest? Besides the Demonic Beast Forest, what other force on the Xuanhuang Continent could provide two quasi-Emperor level demonic beasts for protection?"

"Master, I've also learned something else about these five people."

"What is it? Speak quickly."

"Patriarch, their group had previously stopped in Shuize City. According to the people of Shuize City, the Qin family, seeing that they were young and had pure blood and qi, tricked them into entering the Qin Manor, intending to refine them into human pills. Later, they were discovered by the five people. The Qin family patriarch was killed by a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. According to those who were present at the time, that boy was at the peak of the Saint Realm, but his combat power was terrifying. At that time, bone light emanated from his chest, and tribulation light descended from the sky, destroying the Qin family patriarch."

"What did you say? A fourteen or fifteen-year-old Saint Realm cultivator can kill a Saint? There's bone light on his chest? Calamity light descended from the sky? Could it be... the legendary Heavenly Calamity Light? Could that boy have the legendary Supreme Bone Physique? That's right, it must be the Supreme Bone Physique without a doubt. Only the legendary Supreme Bone Physique can attract Heavenly Calamity Light." Murong Bo muttered to himself.

"Master, this is absolutely true. More than a million people in Water Marsh City witnessed it all."

"We know the younger generation in Central Continent very well, so the forces behind these young people can't be from Central Continent. If they're not from Central Continent, then which force is it? Ordinary forces couldn't possibly cultivate such prodigies, no wonder they had to use a quasi-emperor to protect them," Murong Bo guessed to himself.

"You may leave now! I need to report this matter to the Ancestor first."

After the scouts left, Murong Bo hurriedly went to the place where the patriarch was in seclusion. Upon meeting the patriarch, he reported everything he had learned.

Ancestor Murong slowly opened his eyes, a hint of shock flashing within them: "A supreme bone physique, along with a quasi-emperor level divine beast phoenix and a quasi-emperor level demon beast protecting him—the power behind this is no simple matter!"

Murong Bo cupped his hands and said, "Ancestor, do you think they are forces from the Demon Beast Forest? A phoenix and a quasi-Emperor demon beast—I really can't think of any other force besides the Demon Beast Forest with such a foundation."

"I'm not sure either. The Xuanhuang Continent isn't as simple as you think. There is indeed more than one quasi-Emperor demon beast in the Demon Beast Forest. What you said isn't impossible."

"Ancestor, should we make contact with them? If we can win over the forces behind them, perhaps they can become members of our alliance in the future."

After a moment of contemplation, the patriarch said, "First, send people to secretly observe their movements. Do not act rashly. Make a decision only after we have ascertained their identities."

Meanwhile, all the major powers in Central Continent received the same news, and everyone was speculating about their identities. Before clarifying their identities, no power dared to approach these five individuals.

Inside the main hall of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan...

After listening to the scout's report, the family head, Xuan Yuan Gu Yun, remained silent for a moment before saying, "Until we find out their identities, we should not contact them. Just send someone to monitor their movements."

"Yes, Master." The scout withdrew.

Below the main hall, a young man, after hearing the news, smiled slightly and said, "The legendary Supreme Bone, a young Supreme, slaying a Saint—how interesting! I just don't know if you'll come to the Heavenly Pride Arena. If you dare to come, you'll only become my stepping stone. Defeating a young Supreme should be quite interesting."

The young man wore a plain white robe, with only a thin, dark gold thread trim around the collar and cuffs. It was inconspicuous in sunlight, but under moonlight, a subtle pattern of nine dragons swallowing clouds could be discerned. This robe was not to be worn by anyone other than a direct descendant of the imperial family. He wore a black jade thumb ring on his thumb, engraved with the ancient seal character "青" (Qing). This man was none other than Xuanyuan Qing, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family.

Xuanyuan Qing possesses the Primordial Sword Emperor Physique.

The Primordial Sword Emperor Body has the eternal sword law engraved in its bloodline, and is born with a foundation that transcends ordinary sword cultivators. It can understand the ancient and lost peerless sword path without arduous cultivation. It has a boundless sword domain within its body, and every inch of its flesh, bones and meridians is a natural sword embryo.

His swordsmanship comprehension is unparalleled; he can understand any top-tier sword manual or peerless sword technique at a glance and master it instantly. He is born with the aura of an emperor, capable of suppressing his peers, and he carries a natural suppression of realm when fighting enemies, making it easy for him to fight beyond his level.

A single sword strike can cleave mountains and sever rivers, shattering array barriers. If the primordial sword body is activated, it can sweep away all opponents of the same level, and even high-level experts must be wary and give way. This physique can crush all kinds of rare spiritual bodies and holy bodies; it is the top-tier physique of the ancient emperors who commanded ten thousand swords and intimidated all the heavens.

"Qing'er, never underestimate anyone. The Supreme Bone is no less powerful than your Primordial Sword Emperor Body, and may even be slightly superior. If you underestimate your enemy, you will only suffer in the end," Xuan Yuan Gu Yun said.

"Father, rest assured! I have never underestimated the Supreme Bone; I am simply confident in myself. Enemies who have been defeated by me were never worthy of being my opponents, and anyone of the same level is only fit to look up at my figure from afar."

Hahaha...Very good, Qing'er, your invincible heart is truly remarkable.
