Chapter 57: No One Has Ever Dared to Look Down on Me Like This!
As Lu man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor flew away in defeat, the two women let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, in their eyes, Gu Fei seemed invincible.
"Big Brother Gu Fei, you're amazing!" Qing Lin exclaimed. Having faced Lu man's attack head-on, she could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from her. Yet, this powerful opponent was easily scared off by Gu Fei. To Qing Lin, Gu Fei was the strongest person she knew. Her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed as she praised him without hesitation.
Gu Fei chuckled and patted Qing Lin's head. He glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, who returned his gaze with a gentle smile. Gu Fei then took out a healing pill from his storage ring and handed it to the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The Lion King silently met Gu Fei's gaze before accepting the pill and swallowing it.
"Thank you, Master," the Lion King said. Taking the pill, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's aura quickly stabilized.
"Let's Go."
Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian quickly responded to Gu Fei's call, and decided not to linger any longer.
The three of them once again boarded the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
After ten minutes, two streaks of light appeared in the sky at the site of the previous battle. An old man and a woman emerged from them. The elderly man was dressed in plain yellow robes, with a youthful appearance despite his white hair, exuding a serene yet authoritative aura. The woman, dressed in a luxurious robe, had a calm and beautiful face, exuding a sense of nobility. This woman was Yun Yun, and she smiled as she greeted Jia Xing Tian.
"Jia Lao, your 'Mountain-Breaking Dou Qi' is becoming more and more formidable. I could feel its overpowering presence from afar," Yun Yun remarked.
Jia Xing Tian with a glint in his eyes, laughed heartily, "Yun Yun Sect Leader, it's been years, and your wind-based Dou Qi has only grown purer. Your speed is unmatched."
The battlefield still bore traces of Gu Fei's presence and Yun Yun immediately recognized it and guessed that this entire incident was likely caused by him. As she thought of him, her face displayed a graceful smile, though her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Despite her desire to see Gu Fei, Yun Yun knew that meeting him now would only bring more trouble. Thus, she declined Jia Xing Tian's invitation to investigate further.
Jia Xing Tian shrugged when Yun Yun refused, but didn't take offense.
"Then I'll investigate alone. Farewell, Sect Leader Yun Yun."
With that, he pursued the direction in which Gu Fei had gone.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin were riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, chatting casually. Gu Fei suddenly sensed a fourth-rank flying magical beast approaching from a distance, carrying several people. If Gu Fei didn't steer clear, their paths would soon intersect.
Sensing the overwhelming presence of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the royal beast hesitated and slowed down. "What's going on?" Yao Ye, the crown princess, grew wary as she noticed the beast's tremors. Soon, the massive figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in her view. Even Yao Ye, who had seen much in her life, was momentarily stunned, let alone her guards.
Yao Ye straightened her royal gown and stood tall, her graceful posture evident as she gazed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "The intelligence was correct; it's truly a sixth-rank flying magical beast!" Although she had anticipated this, Yao Ye was still shocked. However, her surprise was fleeting, as she was deeply loyal to the empire. A sixth-rank magical beast wandering within the borders of the Jia Ma Empire was concerning.
Determined to protect her empire, Yao Ye commanded her flying beast to intercept the Amethyst Winged Lion King. As the Lion King halted, Yao Ye's sharp eyes finally spotted Gu Fei and his companions on its back.
"What business do you have here?" Gu Fei asked, frowning as he saw the beast blocking their way.
"You're not from the Jia Ma Empire, are you?" Yao Ye inquired, trying to gauge Gu Fei's intentions. Gu Fei simply glanced at her and nodded. She hesitated for a moment before brushing aside her hair to reveal a face of noble elegance. Her soft eyes fixed on Gu Fei. "May I ask what brings you to the Jia Ma Empire?"
Gu Fei frowned and replied indifferently, "How is that any of your concern?" Yao Ye's expression darkened at his words. Her previous gentle demeanor had been a facade to lower Gu Fei's guard. As the crown princess of the Jia Ma Empire, she held significant power. She had never been looked down upon like this before, and her displeasure was evident as her brows furrowed.

The two stared at each other in silence, and the situation grew tense. Suddenly, the sound of someone swiftly approaching broke the silence, and Jia Xing Tian's figure appeared in the distance, hurrying towards them.
