Seeing that the critical moment had arrived, Long Xuan gritted his teeth and directly put away the Mountain Treasure.
The sudden disappearance of the Mountain Treasure caused the dense chaotic mist to dissipate, and almost all the strange phenomena vanished in an instant.
The movement of the Mountain Treasure's disappearance immediately caught the attention of the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, which quickly looked over and saw that it was gone.
Only Long Xuan was left in place. Its eyes instantly turned red, and upon seeing that he only had the Blood-Moving Realm cultivation, it was immediately enraged. Although his blood and Qi were vigorous and unusual, in its eyes, he was just an ant.
It roared furiously on the spot, "You little thief, you're courting death!"
While the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow was still dumbfounded, Long Xuan had already mobilized all his power and desperately ran towards the Rift.
The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow also discovered Long Xuan's objective and immediately fired a black beam of light filled with the intent of annihilation towards Long Xuan.
Feeling the terrifying attack from behind, Long Xuan's scalp went numb. He sensed the threat of death.
Seeing the Rift not far away, without hesitation, he covered his entire body with Golden Scales, Dragon Runes flowing across them, giving off a sense of weight, and planned to withstand the attack with his physical body.
Pfft!
The terrifying black beam directly hit Long Xuan, shattering his scales on the spot. A mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out, and his whole body was covered in blood. He barely managed to withstand it, but he was also heavily wounded.
The force of the beam pushed Long Xuan towards the Rift. He turned his head with great difficulty to look at the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow and raised his middle finger with his right hand:
"Cough! Today... this matter, I, Long Xuan... remember it. We... will settle the score later!"
Plop!
Long Xuan directly used the reaction force to fall into the Underground River, completely disappearing without a trace.
Seeing that Long Xuan had taken his attack and still hadn't died, which even the Array Formation King could be killed with, especially the provocative gesture at the end, and it seemed that he had given him a helping hand, he was immediately enraged.
Aah!
The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow let out a long howl, the Mountain Treasure that was almost within his grasp, just slipped away under his nose.
"You three teamed up!"
The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow understood what had happened and suddenly realized that Long Xuan and the others had tricked him.
But when he turned to look at the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan, he only saw Qiong Qi. He was instantly furious, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
To vent his anger, he unleashed various attacks in all directions.
Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird, covered in injuries, was clutching Zhu Yan, who had turned into a small golden monkey, and swiftly flying outwards.
When the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow launched that attack at Long Xuan, the Vermilion Bird seized the opportunity to escape; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to. The enraged Swallowing Heaven Sparrow didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
As for whether Long Xuan could survive, it was all down to luck. She hadn't expected Long Xuan to be only in the Blood-Moving Realm.
Whoosh!
Long Xuan, who had fallen into the Underground River, immediately blacked out and lost consciousness.
On Long Xuan's body, the Golden Willow Leaf given by the Willow God emitted a soft golden light, completely enveloping him as he drifted downstream with the current.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Having vented its fury, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow left behind a landscape of bottomless ravines. The aura of death would prevent anything from growing here for many years to come.
And that Qiong Qi, being nearby, became the target of its rage, and was killed and devoured directly.
With a final, unwilling glance around, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow let out a long cry and flew towards the outer reaches.
Driven by fate, the Vermilion Bird, after a long flight, finally arrived at Stone Village.
At Stone Village, Shi Hao saw a flash of crimson lightning streak across the sky and immediately ran outside. He saw a fiery red bird fall to the ground.
The once vibrant feathers were now dull and lifeless, and there was a deep wound on its belly.
Seeing the Vermilion Bird, Shi Hao immediately shouted, "Little Red, are you alright! And what happened to Fluffy?"
Hearing this, Vermilion Bird immediately rolled her eyes, looking at Shi Hao with a resentful gaze. Shi Hao was also a little embarrassed by this look.
Upon hearing the name Little Red, Vermilion Bird suddenly thought of Long Xuan, who also called her that, and had an idea: "Do you know someone named Long Xuan?"
Shi Hao was suddenly taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How do you know my brother's name?"
Sure enough, hearing this answer, Vermilion Bird understood that Long Xuan came from this village, and that this village was indeed terrible at naming things.
Seeing that Vermilion Bird didn't speak, Shi Hao was a little anxious: "Little Red, quickly tell me! How is my brother?"
Vermilion Bird, hearing this name that made her grit her teeth, said unhappily, "Can't you see I'm still injured? And that monkey on the ground is also about to die."
After hearing this, Shi Hao immediately took them to Willow God. In his opinion, only Willow God could heal such serious injuries.
He grabbed Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan and went to Willow God. The Old Patriarch saw Shi Hao in a hurry and stepped forward to ask, "Xiao Hao, what happened?"
Shi Hao said urgently, "Old Patriarch, Little Red is one of the four Beast Sovereigns. She knows about my brother, Long Xuan. I need to find Willow God to heal her."
The Old Patriarch immediately ignored the fact that Shi Hao was calling a Beast Sovereign "Little Red" and, upon hearing the news about Long Xuan, immediately rushed over.
Arriving in front of a willow tree, Shi Hao immediately spoke, "Willow God, Little Red knows about Long Xuan. Please heal her first!"
Hearing the news about Long Xuan, several dim willow branches swayed.
A drop of Jade Dew condensed, radiating divine light, carrying a refreshing fragrance that would clear the mind with a single sniff.
Green leaves drooped down, directly touching the wound. As the liquid entered, runes began to flow across the wound, and Little Red's expression became somewhat pained.
The willow branches swayed gently, and a few more drops of liquid condensed, each crystal clear, like immortal dew.
After all the liquid was dripped into the wound, the gruesome injury healed in moments.
Vermilion Bird became spirited, flames ignited on its body, and its feathers returned to their original brilliance, with divine light flowing around it. Zhu Yan, with the help of a drop of juice, formed a golden cocoon.
A clear voice rang out, "I owe you a favor."
Willow God's magnetic voice sounded, "You can repay them, tell me about Little Xuan's situation!"
Vermilion Bird thought for a moment and directly handed Shi Hao a feather, telling him to come find her if he needed her help.
"When Zhu Yan and I were competing for the Mountain Treasure, we cooperated with him. We held off the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow and the others while Long Xuan went to get the Mountain Treasure. After he took the Mountain Treasure, he was discovered and was struck by the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, falling into the Underground River."
Vermilion Bird briefly described the situation at the time.
When they heard that Long Xuan had fallen into the Underground River, the Old Patriarch and Shi Hao were very worried about him.
Willow God said calmly, "I left a protective talisman for Little Xuan, so there won't be any danger to his life. As for the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, let him settle his own karma!"
The Old Patriarch and Shi Hao relaxed slightly upon hearing this. After saying goodbye, Vermilion Bird returned to the Fire Country, telling them to inform her if Long Xuan returned.
Two months passed.
Cough!
In an underground cave, Long Xuan opened his eyes. He didn't have the strength to even move a finger.
His body was covered in wounds. If it weren't for the Willow God's Golden Willow Leaf protecting him in the river, his situation might have been even worse.
He examined his internal condition and found injuries in many places. It was only because his physical body was strong that he survived. If it were an ordinary Array Formation King, they would have been reduced to ashes.
Long Xuan felt it was worth it to trade these treasures for his injuries.
He barely managed to activate the runes, mobilizing the blood runes to begin healing the injured areas of his body.
With Long Xuan's efforts, his injuries slowly began to heal.
