Li Xiaonan cast a glance at Ling Kui, his eyes directed towards Vermilion Bird Hall.
Ling Kui nodded, his figure slightly fading as he turned and ran towards Liuxu Palace.
"Foster father, I understand that as the Grand Elder of the Outer Academy, there are many things you cannot avoid..." Li Xiaonan said with a calm expression.
Duan Yu let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face. It is said that those who understand the times are the true heroes. Li Xiaonan was exceptionally talented, and what was rare was his clear understanding of human relationships. However, Li Xiaonan's next words left him feeling uneasy.
"But Bai Nuo must pay the price! Today, I will give you face, foster father; I won't take his life..." Li Xiaonan's brows furrowed tightly, a hint of distortion in his expression.
Duan Yu felt a sense of dread rising within him. Although he had not spent much time with Li Xiaonan, he had a very clear understanding of the young man. Li Xiaonan's words were clearly meant to give him face, but in reality... he couldn't help but frown again.
Yu Jizi and Huang Yan exchanged glances and shrugged. It was difficult to support either side now. Although they both leaned towards Li Xiaonan, Duan Yu was after all the Grand Elder, and they could not ignore him right in front of them.
The two sides stared coldly at each other until Ling Kui led Mei Qingdan, Mei Yingluo, Li Dogdan, and Nine Phoenix over.
Li Xiaonan's expression relaxed immediately. Duan Yu's handsome face twisted in concern as he realized just how powerful Li Xiaonan's background was. The Outer Academy seemed like a stepping stone for him; Liu Su's reputation meant little to him—perhaps he didn't care at all.
Li Xiaonan smiled and said, "Foster father, the hatred for killing my father cannot be shared under heaven. But I respect you and value you; since you say not to kill him, I will leave him with a dog's life. Rest assured, I won't do anything to him." As he spoke, he stepped closer to Bai Nuo, his eyes filled with a dangerous aura.
Duan Yu wanted to intervene, but once Li Xiaonan reached this point in his words, he could no longer make any moves to stop him.
Li Xiaonan flicked his hair back and gathered his True Essence Power. The profound secrets of Sound Attack's eighteen strokes were deeply etched in his mind. He chuckled softly before suddenly declaring, "Bai Nuo! You will never succeed in Transcending Tribulation in this lifetime! You will never cultivate into an immortal! Never! Never! Never..."
The lingering echoes shook Bai Nuo's spirit profoundly, causing him to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Duan Yu's brows furrowed even tighter. How could he not see that Bai Nuo's life was essentially over? Li Xiaonan's words were like seeds of Inner Demon sown into Bai Nuo's heart, slowly sprouting and taking root—endlessly entwining through lifetimes without end.
An Quan Tao tugged at Dai Lizi and, grinning, ran over to Li Xiaonan. "Master, even if Transcend Tribulation fails, one can still cultivate Scattered Immortal, so..." His beautiful eyes sparkled as he exchanged a knowing glance with Dai Lizi, who had already understood the devious plan. Together they declared, "You cannot escape your fate. You are destined to never become an immortal, nor can you switch to being a Loose Cultivator. Your destiny is to fall and have your soul scattered! Your soul scattered..."
Li Xiaonan clicked his tongue, thinking that this old man had quite a few wicked ideas. With this turn of events, Bai Nuo was truly finished, with no chance of turning things around.
Duan Yu's face was filled with anger; his premonition had come true. Although Li Xiaonan pretended to give him face on the surface, he had actually dismantled all of it and thrown it on the ground, stomping on it hard. From now on, Elder Bai Nuo of Azure Dragon Hall would have no chance to act. The Outer Academy not only lost a fierce warrior but also its so-called dignity, completely outmaneuvered by Li Xiaonan.
This scene unfolded at the entrance of the Outer Academy, where two-thirds of the cultivators in Luoya City had gathered. It wouldn't be long before word spread about this incident.
Li Xiaonan looked at the increasingly pale Scholar Principal and smiled even more wildly. He slowly walked up to Mei Yingluo and said, "Mother, I have avenged the Li Family Fortress. The atmosphere here is too oppressive; how about I take you on a trip?"
Mei Yingluo was well-versed in worldly matters and understood that staying at the Outer Academy was no longer an option. She sighed and turned to Mei Qingdan, asking, "Father, what do you think?"
Mei Qingdan chuckled, "I listen to my dear grandson!"
Li Xiaonan glanced back at Duan Yu before he could explode and called out, "Little Jiu! Let's go!"
With a clear cry, a fiery red phoenix soared into the sky, its wings ablaze with flames. Its disdainful eyes looked down at Duan Yu as it spiraled around before lifting Li Xiaonan and his companions away into the distance.
Onlookers were abuzz with excitement. "Did you see that? It's a phoenix!"
"What does that matter? That kid just wiped out a Separation Stage cultivator without leaving a trace."
"Yeah! What kind of cultivation does that kid have? When he spoke just now, my Yuan Ying almost jumped out! And that person lying on the ground seems to be Elder Bai Nuo from Azure Dragon Hall!"
"What do you mean seems? It's definitely..."
Duan Yu's face grew darker and darker until he resembled a true jade-faced scholar—only this jade was green.
"You... you... you! You little brat!" By now, the Nine Phoenix in the sky had vanished from sight, and after holding back for so long, Duan Yu could only utter these few words.
As Li Xiaonan and the others flew north, Li Xiaonan lay on Ling Kui's lap, crossing his legs and feeling quite pleased with himself.
Ling Kui shook her head, a rare smile appearing on her face. "Xiao Nan, where do you plan to go next?"
"I don't know." Li Xiaonan rubbed against Ling Kui's leg and rolled over comfortably.
An Quan Tao chuckled, "Master, why not visit Qingyu City for a while?"
Li Xiaonan thought for a moment. With such a large family around him, they indeed needed a new place to stay. Plus, he had to get the Storage Belt business up and running. On top of that, he planned to establish his own sect and build his own influence. Going to Qingyu City would be perfect for all these plans.
"That's a great idea! Little Jiu, let's head to Qingyu City!" Li Xiaonan said, patting the Nine Phoenix beneath him. The Nine Phoenix turned its head and flew southwest.
Ling Xingyao swallowed nervously and cautiously touched the phoenix feathers. "Xian'er, is that phoenix... a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast?"
Ice Maiden's expression was gentle, seemingly unchanged, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Yuan Xian'er laughed, "What’s the big deal? Xiao Nan has even taken a Scattered Immortal as a spirit pet!"
"What!" The others were instantly stunned by this revelation.
"Strange grandson, you really have guts! You even dared to... to take a Scattered Immortal... you you you..." Mei Qingdan shook her head in disbelief.
Li Xiaonan felt a headache coming on. Inner Thoughts: That wasn’t me; it was that fool who did it. He sighed and was about to speak when the Nine Phoenix exclaimed, "What! Boss! You took someone else as your spirit pet? What about me? Why didn’t you take me? I..."
The charming phoenix eyes widened dramatically, sparkling as if tears were about to fall.
Li Xiaonan and his Partner were once again taken aback; it was clear from the Nine Phoenix's words that it wanted to be Li Xiaonan's spirit pet too.
"This..." Li Xiaonan scratched his head and sat up from Ling Kui's embrace.
An Quan Tao chuckled, stepping on the back of Nine Phoenix. "You little bird don't deserve to be the master's spirit pet. Give it up! Ha ha ha!"
Nine Phoenix felt a mix of anger and sadness. With a long cry, it turned and left Li Xiaonan and the others behind, flying into the woods.
Li Xiaonan's heart raced, and he quickly grabbed his son.
Li Dogdan glared at An Quan Tao angrily. "You scared my big bird away, you bad person! I'm going to tell Daddy to beat you! And let Mommy punish you!"
At the mention of punishment, a hint of charm flickered across An Quan Tao's fox-like face. Li Dogdan looked at him with disdain. "So disgusting!"
Li Xiaonan clicked his tongue, surprised by Nine Phoenix's sudden outburst. What was this situation? Running away from home? He handed Li Dogdan over to Li Yanrong and said to everyone, "You all go to Qingyu City first. I'll go find Nine Phoenix!"
"And you! You old bad guy, Chestnut, once we reach Qingyu City, I will release the contracts on you. Protect my family well; if anything happens to them..." A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, causing An Quan Tao to tremble slightly. "You'll be finished!"
With that, he turned and chased after the direction where Nine Phoenix had disappeared.
"Daddy! Bring back the big bird! Tell him I'll pluck his feathers!" Li Dogdan waved his small hands, grinning widely.
Li Xiaonan stumbled in mid-air, nearly falling down. It turned out his son was still thinking about Little Jiu's feathers. He shook his head helplessly and quickened his pace.
With a sigh, Li Xiaonan realized that Nine Phoenix was too fast; even with Swift Steps and Jade Dragonfly, he couldn't catch up. Standing helplessly in the woods, he expanded his consciousness to search around and suddenly opened his eyes wide, flying westward.
"Woo woo woo... Phoenix Maiden... Big brother doesn't want me anymore... woo woo woo..." A handsome boy sat on a rock, his enchanting phoenix eyes swollen red, making anyone who saw him feel heartbroken.
Li Xiaonan sighed again and walked up behind him, patting his shoulder with a smile. "Little Jiu."
Startled, Nine Phoenix jumped up from the rock and leaped far away. His pale skin flushed with color as his oversized white robe dragged on the ground.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly; it seemed Nine Phoenix had never changed clothes. Had he been neglecting this child too much? He unconsciously sighed again and asked sorrowfully, "Are you running away from home?"
"I... I... don't have... it's... the boss doesn't want me anymore." Nine Phoenix lowered its head awkwardly. The Ninth-Order Spirit Beast was powerful, but compared to the Scattered Immortal, it was nothing. Nine Phoenix's former pride had gradually turned into self-doubt since encountering Li Xiaonan.
"Come on, let's go home."
Nine Phoenix quickly shook its head. "The boss won't take me as a spirit pet, so I'm not going back!"
Li Xiaonan felt a headache coming on. He gave Nine Phoenix a light smack on the forehead and said angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Do you really want to be a spirit pet? What's so great about being a spirit pet? I see you as my little brother, yet you insist on being a beast. When have I ever treated you poorly?"
Tears welled up in Nine Phoenix's eyes again as it murmured, "No... but the contract... I want... it!"
Li Xiaonan was almost driven mad by Nine Phoenix. Who insists on becoming their own spirit pet? Well, to be precise, a phoenix. He began to mimic his master Yu Jizi's roundabout way of thinking. Suddenly, he stopped and sat down on a rock, pulling out some Golden Crystal and Mithril to start crafting.
Nine Phoenix tilted its head, not understanding what Li Xiaonan was doing.
In no time, Li Xiaonan held up a new item: a golden Ruyi Collar, with Mithril wrapped around a phoenix design and two small characters beside it—Nine Phoenix.
"Little Jiu, come here." Li Xiaonan waved his hand.
Nine Phoenix nodded and walked over to him.
