Cao Yueying suddenly spoke, "We had an agreement beforehand. If you disturb the Xuan Beast, you will bear all the consequences."
With words spoken to this extent, how could Zeng Zifang back down?
She clasped her hands behind her back, smiled, and nodded, "Of course."
Huang Guiren and Wang Dahei heard her boast so much and readily made way.
Qian Duoduo's heart suddenly pounded a few times.
He knew that there was an Azure Phoenix in the Manor.
And just now, Ping Yundan didn't have the Azure Phoenix by his side.
If the Azure Phoenix wasn't with Hall Master Ping, then it could only be in the Phoenix Garden.
Moreover, in the Manor, there was also the special existence of the Spirit Ant Bee Queen.
He wasn't afraid of the Azure Phoenix, the Azure Phoenix, and the Spirit Ant Bee Queen; he was just worried about exposing his identity as a Cultivator of the Refining Spirit Sect.
The Ba Ling Sect's people slowly approached Purple Gold Manor and began to feel the aura of countless active Spirit Beasts within the Manor.
Zeng Zifang's playful expression gradually froze.
Suddenly, a terrifying force extended from within the Manor, immobilizing all Cultivators outside the Manor.
The people of the Ba Ling Sect knew that this force was comparable to that of Ancestor Zeng.
"My baby is sleeping; stay away."
This was the Azure Phoenix's undeniable voice.
It was domineering, yet not impolite.
As soon as her voice spread, dense buzzing sounds came from the surrounding mountains, and then tens of thousands of Spirit Ant Bees surrounded the people of the Ba Ling Sect.
The Spirit Ant Bees, equivalent to Qi Condensation Great Perfection, had sharp stings about a foot long on their tails, gleaming and sending shivers down one's spine.
Golden Core cultivators like Zeng Zifang could block one or ten, but they couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of hundreds of Spirit Ant Bees.
What's more, the Azure Phoenix had fixed their bodies, making evasion impossible.
The Spirit Ant Bees flapped their wings and swarmed towards the Ba Ling Sect's people. When their stings were still an inch from Zeng Zifang's face, a shriek sounded from behind the swarm of Spirit Ant Bees.
That was the Spirit Ant Bee Queen's summons; she was merely showing off the Spirit Ant Bees' strength and couldn't actually sting the guests.
However, this move of hers had already made everyone in the Ba Ling Sect, except for Qian Duoduo, break into a sweat; even a difficult person like Zeng Zifang was no exception.
The Spirit Ant Bee Queen's Spiritual Awareness lingered on Qian Duoduo for a moment.
Her intuition told her that this stranger, whom she was seeing for the first time, felt very familiar.
Elder Hu, Dugu Yunshan, Cao Yueying, Deng Feihong, and others were also seeing the Azure Phoenix and the Spirit Ant Bee Queen angry for the first time; they all bowed uniformly towards the Manor.
The Azure Phoenix retracted her spiritual power, and the Ba Ling Sect's people regained their freedom.
Zeng Zifang cupped her hands towards the Azure Phoenix, "Sorry for the disturbance, Senior."
She glared at Cao Yueying, holding this grudge against Cao Yueying.
Cao Yueying first stopped her from challenging Jin Buhuan, and then prevented her from entering the Manor. In Zeng Zifang's eyes, these were all tactics to feign interest to catch her off guard, digging pits for her and making her look foolish.
Although Deng Feihong's provocation was more direct, he wasn't as insidious as Cao Yueying.
Qian Duoduo was also suppressed by the Azure Phoenix's spiritual power, but the Purple Eyes in his Lower Spirit Sea were constantly churning, and the Saint Artifact Spirit, the chubby boy, was also restlessly moving.
As soon as the Azure Phoenix's spiritual power was withdrawn, the Purple Eyes almost rushed out from his Baihui acupoint.
The Azure Phoenix's Spiritual Awareness detected a spiritual power fluctuation from Qian Duoduo's side, so she immobilized him again and thoroughly checked him three times from top to bottom.
Qian Duoduo used all his strength to prevent the Purple Eyes from coming out and directly confronting the Azure Phoenix.
But his front and back were soaked with sweat.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's disheveled appearance, Zeng Zifang thought that the Refining Spirit Sect had secretly played a dirty trick, bullying the weak to teach Qian Duoduo a lesson.
The Azure Phoenix found nothing unusual on Qian Duoduo and withdrew her Spiritual Awareness.
