How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Upon hearing Jinxiao's voice, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow trembled violently, muttering to itself:

"The Phoenix Locking Nail... shattered? A secret treasure personally blessed by the Dragon Emperor, shattered just like that with a single claw? How is that possible?"

"No...no. Now that the Phoenix-Locking Nails are gone, even if all the demons combined, they wouldn't be enough to withstand a single claw from this phoenix. Staying here means certain death."

"Run. We must run. Only by escaping back to the Dragon Emperor's side will we have a chance of survival."

Without the slightest hesitation, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow flapped its wings and, without a word, turned and ran.

It transformed into a black afterimage and shot off into the depths of the monster forest, not daring to even look back.

"Hey? It got away!" Little Ningyun looked up and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Jinxiao! That big black bird that attacked you is getting away! Go and catch it! Remember not to smash its body, I still need to take it back for Master to eat."

Xiao Ningyun, hands on her hips, looked both cute and fierce as she directed Jin Xiao.

Jin Xiao glanced in the direction the Soul-Devouring Sparrow had fled and sneered, "Run! Do you think you can escape?"

But instead of giving chase immediately, it turned its head, looked at the seven-tailed fox, and said sharply, "What are you waiting for? Make your move."

Its voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of every demon clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xiao's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

It has already chased after the direction in which the Soul-Eating Sparrow disappeared.

The seven-tailed fox, the crimson tiger, and the chieftain of the Sky-Devouring Python clan. The three demons exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Meanwhile, the chieftain of the Minotaur tribe, standing at the very front, was still completely bewildered.

It watched as the phoenix shouted "Attack!" in its direction, and then left...

"Make a move?"

The bull chieftain's eyes were filled with confusion: "What does this phoenix mean? Whom does it want to attack?"

Just then, a terrifying killing intent suddenly attacked it from behind. It felt as if it were being targeted by some ancient ferocious beast.

The aura of death enveloped it in an instant.

The bull chieftain's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Not good!"

Without a second thought, it immediately turned around, mobilized all its demonic power, and condensed a huge bull's head in front of it, unleashing its full power of defense at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level.

Rumble—!!

A loud bang exploded

The combined attack of three peak Quasi-Emperors landed squarely on the bull's head.

The bull's head resisted for a moment, then cracked instantly, as the three clan leaders' attacks landed squarely on the bull's body.

puff--!!

The chieftain of the bull tribe was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Not only the chieftain of the Wild Bull Clan, but also three quasi-emperor elders of the Primordial Wild Bull Clan and one elder of the Soul-Devouring Sparrow Clan were ambushed by the quasi-emperor elders of the three clans.

The fifteen demon emperors of these two races were also seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly, a soft, childlike voice reached the ears of the demons: "Go easy on them, don't smash these cows and birds to pieces, I need to take them back to my master to eat."

Upon hearing this, the demons were taken aback, but instantly understood. They called out to Xiao Ningyun, "Don't worry, young hero, we guarantee their physical bodies will remain intact."

"You...you all!" The Bull Clan Chief's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, pointing at the Seven-Tailed Fox, the Sky-Devouring Python, and the Crimson Flame Tiger, trembling with rage. "You dare betray the demon race, betray the Dragon Emperor!"

"You actually betrayed the human race and sided with them! You traitors of the demon race will die a horrible death!"

The seven-tailed fox chuckled, her seven tails swaying gently behind her, her alluring eyes filled with mockery: "Hmph! Betrayal?"

"You raging bull, are you just all muscle in your head?"

"For tens of thousands of years, our demon race and the human race have lived peacefully without disturbing each other. But look at the Dragon Emperor, since his birth, he has been arranging for us to attack the human race."

"If we continue to follow it, we will be pushing the entire demon race into the abyss."

"And you, the Bull Clan, every time you hear that the Dragon Emperor is going to attack the human race, you can't wait to start a war."

The Devouring Python chimed in, "Wild Bull, we're doing this to protect our race and all the demons in the Demon Beast Forest. If we followed you and the Dragon Emperor, the entire demon race would be wiped out."

"Yes! Bull, don't blame us for being ruthless. You can only blame yourself for being blind and following the wrong team," Crimson Tiger chimed in.

"Traitors, you bunch of traitors, I'm going to kill you all!" The Bull Chieftain went berserk, ignoring his injuries, and charged directly at the three chieftains.

On the other side...

The Soul-Eating Sparrow fled desperately, its wings almost leaving afterimages, but it hadn't flown very far.

Om-! !

The space trembled slightly.

A fiery red figure appeared out of thin air in front of it.

Jin Xiao looked at it with a smile: "Running away? Why did you stop running?"

The Soul-Devouring Sparrow was terrified and stopped abruptly. It stared at Jinxiao before it, its face filled with fear, its voice trembling as it spoke: "You...you stay away!"

"Kill me... the Dragon Emperor will not let you get away with this!"

"The Dragon Emperor is a late-stage Great Emperor! If you dare to touch me, it will tear you to pieces."

"Hmph!" Jin Xiao snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "Are you talking about that demonic dragon? After I deal with you, this Divine Phoenix will go and kill it next."

As soon as Jinxiao finished speaking—

Rumble—!!

Deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

An extremely terrifying aura soared into the sky, and the dragon's might swept across the heavens and earth.

Countless monsters lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear throughout the entire Monster Forest.

Sensing this aura, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... It's the Dragon Emperor! The Dragon Emperor has come to save me!"

"If you know what's good for you, just let me go."

Jinxiao ignored the Soul-Devouring Sparrow's words and looked towards the direction of the Myriad Demon Palace.

A colossal dragon soared into the sky, its body stretching for tens of thousands of feet, its scales as black as ink, each radiating a cold, metallic sheen.

After circling twice in the high sky, it flew straight towards its direction.

In just a short while, the colossal dragon, spanning thousands of miles, appeared before Jinxiao.

A dragon and a phoenix face each other across the void.

The dragon's eyes looked down at the fiery red figure opposite it.

A dragon's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "How dare a mere phoenix run wild on my territory?"

Its voice was deep and majestic, carrying an undeniable domineering air: "You slaughtered my demon race and disturbed my territory, do you know your crime?"

After saying that, its dragon eyes looked at the seven-tailed fox and the other demons, and its cold voice entered the ears of the three clan leaders: "You ants, how dare you betray me, the Emperor! After I deal with this phoenix, I will settle accounts with you one by one."

With each word spoken, the heavens and earth trembled.

Jin Xiao looked at the demonic dragon opposite him, his tone completely calm: "Do you know your crime?"

"Why should I, the Divine Phoenix, be guilty? On the contrary, you demonic dragon, who dared to attack my master, I think you are just a lousy fool."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor was slightly taken aback, then angrily questioned, "Turn on the light in the toilet? What do you mean by that?"

Jin Xiao glared at him and retorted, "I said you're asking for trouble (looking for death)."

"How dare you! A phoenix at the early stage of the Great Emperor realm dares to be so presumptuous in front of me! I think you're the one who's really courting death." A cold glint flashed in the Dragon Emperor's golden vertical pupils.

"So what if you have high bloodline? So what if you're an ancient divine beast? Today I'll kill you and eat your phoenix marrow."

At this moment, the heavily injured chieftain of the Bull Clan was overjoyed to see this scene: "Hahaha, the Dragon Emperor has finally arrived."

Its bull-like eyes glared at the three clan leaders of the Seven-Tailed Fox, and it roared angrily, "You bunch of traitors, you can only wait to die! Everyone, hold on for me! The Dragon Emperor is here! We're saved!"

Upon seeing this scene, the three clan leaders felt a chill run down their spines and looked at the Primordial Dragon Emperor with some fear.

But the Seven-Tailed Fox was the first to come to her senses and shouted loudly, "Everyone, so what if we are the Primordial Dragon Emperor? Since we have chosen to submit to the Imperial Clan, we will never betray them. Kill them!"
