Chapter 405 - Formalities Between The Same Kind (1/2)

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and looked away from the flame, which was still burning.

Although the Sky-devouring Elder’s body had turned into ashes and would not rise again, the fire did not go out as it kept burning. Ou Yangming stared at it for a long time but could not find the fire’s fuel.

Nonetheless, he now knew these secret techniques were mysterious and unpredictable. In particular, the imperceptible flame could not be treated lightly.

Ou Yangming pondered for some time before he bowed sternly at the fire and expressed with respect, “Thanks for the help, senior.”

He was not a fool, so he knew someone had secretly helped him when he exchanged blows with the elder earlier.

The elder was depleted of essential Qi in the end, so much so that he could not generate interspatial s.h.i.+elds anymore and was forced to escape by activating his mental power. This was exactly the reason Ou Yangming had the opportunity to trap him right away. Given the elder’s cultivation base, his control over his body was probably at a thoroughly meticulous state.

Even so, he did not know what having his essential Qi exhausted meant.

It would be fine if that was all, but when the elder performed a self-harm secret technique and could almost escape, he was burned by the blazing fire. If Ou Yangming still could not notice any clue, he would simply be incompetent.

He did not know who was helping him, but no doubt, it was a kind gesture.

In a dark corner, the little phoenix staggered.

‘Senior?

‘I became a senior… If those old fellas hear about this, will they beat me to my death?’

Ou Yangming quietly waited, but the scorching fire suddenly disappeared. He was stunned, but he sighed and cupped his hands. “Since you’re not willing to meet me, I dare not force you to do so, and I’ll make a move first. Thanks for your help today, and I promise to be at your service in the future if you ever need me.” The young fellow did a fist salute and flashed out of the small alley.

He figured that the unknown powerhouse probably had his reasons for hiding in the dark.

Nevertheless, he did not know that the little phoenix was hopping and chirping in the dark corner at the moment.

The little bird had regarded Ou Yangming as its kind long ago.

Since they were of the same kind, according to a rule pa.s.sed on since ancient times, the little bird must comb its feathers neatly and present its best side during their first official meeting. It was a form of respect and a genetic imprint on a phoenix’s marrow.

Who knew, just as it did its best to comb its feathers to look its best, Ou Yangming left just like that.

‘He left…’

In the dark, the little phoenix stopped as if it was immobilized.

It was only after Ou Yangming completely disappeared from the small alley it shouted furiously.

The little bird breathed a red fire from its mouth, but it forcefully swallowed the flame after it extended roughly 3.3 meters forward and had not burnt anything.

It was worth noting that the fire was unordinary because it could burn everything and turn everything into ashes once it was released. It could even be used to destroy Heaven and Earth.

In actuality, based on the little phoenix’s character, it would not bother about the Humans in this world at all. The city was important to the Humans, but it meant nothing to the little bird. As such, it would not be a mental burden to the bird even if the city was burned to nothing.

However, the little phoenix found someone of its kind.

Even though it had not spoken to Ou Yangming, it could tell that he had an extremely deep feeling for the city, or he would not have fought the Sky-devouring Evil Remnant just like that. The Sky-devouring Evil Remnant was insignificant to the little bird, but it could dominate in this world.

Since Ou Yangming, whom the little phoenix regarded as part of its clan, would fight such an enemy to protect the city, how could it destroy it?

The little phoenix looked around for a while, then it flapped its wings and flew into the distance in the form of red light.

Ou Yangming left the small alley in a hurry and made his way to the gate where the giant beast roared.

Since the hidden senior did not want to come out, he was not going to ask for more. Moreover, he was incredibly worried about the spirit beast’s attack, so instead of continuing his search, he hastened toward the wall.

Despite that, he was dumbfounded when he arrived at the wall.

Three spots on the initially magnanimous wall had crumbled, and it was evident from the miserable holes how intense the fight was earlier.

The young fellow was even more surprised to see the strange looks on the Supreme Great Ancestors’ faces. Especially after he arrived, the powerhouses stared at him with more respect. Yes, though the great ancestors respected him very much before this, they revered him more at that point.
