After Lin Feng punched his opponent, the latter fell from the sky, reeling. Everybody was surprised because the ox had a terrifying physical strength; he was an ox after all!
The crowd thought that Miss Bai had a good sense of judgement after all. Lin Feng was really impressive. He didn't need to use his cauldron to be extremely strong physically, and could easily defeat a Great Imperial Beast who was considered as a genius. The crowd was astonished.
"Do you have anything to say?" Bai Yu asked the ox indifferently. She had anticipated the result of the battle earlier.
The gigantic ox frowned and said hoarsely, "Since Miss Bai can go to the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Territory, I can go, too. I don't need to go with you, Miss Bai. I'm sure we'll meet again."
After that, he turned into a human again and left, feeling ashamed and humiliated. The other young people left too. Only Bai Yu and Qing Yi were left behind.
Qing Yi asked Bai Yu, "Miss Bai, are we getting ready to go now?"
"Yes," Bai Yu nodded.
"Who are we going to look for first?"
"Qing Hai's Roc. Even though you don't know where he is, I do. In your nest, with Princess Qing Hai," replied Bai Yu evenly. Qing Yi was surprised, and pulled a long face. Qing Hai's Roc was with Princess Qing Hai? Qing Yi liked Princess Qing Hai, it wasn't a secret. Many people knew that. But Princess Qing Hai wasn't interested in him, and now Qing Hai's Roc was with her. How could he be happy about that?
"You others, stay here and protect the lake," said Bai Yu to the other people left behind. Her figure flickered as she left. Only one girl whom Bai Yu had invited came with them, the maid she had talked about. She was a substitute like Qing Yi. Of course, in case Bai Yu needed her, she would also be able to help.
Lin Feng and Qing Yi followed along. However, Qing Yi unconsciously glanced at Lin Feng. He was a substitute, and if he had the chance, he would be able to replace the human. He had seen how strong Lin Feng was a moment before… He wouldn't be able to compete with the five others, but if he seized an opportunity, he might be able to replace Lin Feng.

Qinghai was a vast sea, and there were many palaces under the water. In one of the palaces, two people were snuggling. The young man was seated on a throne, he looked sharp and was wearing a cyan robe. Each time he moved, a mysterious Qi appeared around him. He looked like a great scholar respected for learning and integrity, he resembled nature itself.
On his laps was a woman. Even though she looked extremely strong, she also looked like a docile and gentle little girl.
"When will you propose a marriage alliance to my father?" asked the beautiful woman at that moment.
The young man gazed into the distance. He looked extraordinary. He said, "Wait until I break through to the Tian Di layer. Then, I'll propose a marriage alliance immediately. That way, nobody will be able to refuse."
"Alright," agreed the woman. "It's just that Qing Yi is pestering me. He keeps courting me. I'm not interested in him at all."
"Ignore him," said the young man indifferently. At that moment, he suddenly raised his head and noticed something in the sea. "Who's there?!"
The water opened itself, he turned into a beam of light, and rose up into the water at speed, carrying the woman with him. He crossed a distance of several thousands of meters in the blink of an eye and saw some people.
"Bai Yu, Qing Yi," the young man frowned, and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"As expected." When Qing Yi saw the woman with the young man, his face turned deathly pale. He clenched his fists. He wanted to be with that woman. Many people in Qing Hai agreed with him. But now it was impossible. He would never have a chance again because she was with that guy now.
When the woman saw Qing Yi, she pressed pressed her body against her boyfriend and smiled widely.
"Qing Hai's Roc, I want to invite some people to come to the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Territory. Do you want to come with me?" asked Bai Yu. She wasn't the kind of person who spoke around a point.
"King of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Territory." Qing Hai's Roc's eyes twinkled and he asked, "Who else is going?"
"A few people: Heze's Mahoraga, Dark Golden Pupiled King, Zixu's Flood Dragon, Dinuo's Sword," answered Bai Yu.
Qing Hai's Roc remained silent for a few seconds and said, "When?"
"We're gathering now and then we're leaving," said Bai Yu.
Qing Hai's Roc took out a jade talisman. Bai Yu understood. She took out a jade talisman as well. They exchanged a thread of godly awareness.
"When you're ready, call me and I'll come," said Qing Hai's Roc calmly. Neither of them talked for nothing.
"Alright, good bye," replied Bai Yu. They left as quickly as they had arrived.
Qing Yi's muscles were still twitching, he clenched his fists powerlessly.
——
In Heze, Bai Yu and the others arrived above a black hut. Lin Feng looked at that black hut and sensed a strong wind. It was sharp and stinky. His blood started boiling, and his hair bristled at the stench.
That's… a powerful poison, thought Lin Feng. Some people came outside, and energies emerged from the black hut.
Lin Feng released sharp sword lights. At the same time, Bai Yu took out her zither and started playing, her melodies transcendental. The energies continued emerging from the black hut, still smelling badly.
"Buddy, are you coming to the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Territory or not?" asked Bai Yu. The black fog stopped and dispersed at that moment, and a mahoraga slowly appeared in the doorway. He slithered over to them. His eyes were filled with poisonous energies, and he kept hissing.
"Explain," said Heze's Mahoraga indifferently.
"I've invited Qing Hai's Roc. I'm about to invite the Dark Golden Pupiled King, Zixu's Flood Dragon, and Dinuo's Sword. Are you coming?" asked Bai Yu straightforwardly.
Heze's Mahoraga hissed, his eyes twinkled and he said, "When you're sure, send someone to inform me."
Then, he disappeared in black fog, like he had never appeared.
"He's so rude, arrogant, and overbearing," swore Qing Yi… then he realized he better shut up.
"Next one," said Bai Yu indifferently. She already had two people, three more to go.
—
They went into another sea. Bai Yu quickly found Zixu's Flood Dragon; he was a flood dragon with purple antennae, looking sly and dangerous. He immediately accepted.
The Dark Golden Pupiled King was practicing cultivation in a volcano. Bai Yu found him anyway. She had prepared everything, and could easily find everyone. The Dark Golden Pupiled King accepted too.
The last one was Dinuo's Sword. Lin Feng gazed into the distance and saw a mountain. At first glance, he saw nobody. After a few hours, still nothing or nobody.
Finally, Bai Yu lost patience. Why was he wasting time?
"Are you coming to the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Territory or not?" asked Bai Yu straightforwardly. However, this time, nobody paid attention to her. Dinuo's Sword was there, gazing into the distance.
Is he practicing cultivation?, wondered Lin Feng. Dinuo's Sword looked ordinary, but he was bathing in a special Qi. At first glance, he looked ordinary, but each time Lin Feng blinked and looked at him again, he had the impression he was looking at someone, or something, different. How extraordinary!
Bai Yu didn't say anything else useless. Dinuo's Sword was gazing into the distance. However, at that moment, Dinuo's Sword turned to Bai Yu and said, "I'm coming. When?"
"We're all ready," said Bai Yu. The five people had agreed. Nobody had refused. Nobody had talked nonsense.
