<span><span><span><span><span>Little Reek was imprisoned in a transparent ball formed of energy.


    <span><span><span><span><span>It kept scratching on the inside of the energy ball with its sharp ws, making scratchy sounds. Unfortunately, all its efforts were in vain.


    <span><span><span><span><span>Eventually, it stopped, tilted its little head and watched the white-bearded old man.


    <span><span><span><span><span>When the old man was sizing it up, it was also affectedly peering at him.


    <span><span><span><span><span>As the old man murmured, it also imitatively lifted its little eyebrows and murmured, "Old man. Ugly. Bad-looking, bad-looking."


    <span><span><span><span><span>On hearing this, the old man was stunned, as if he had never expected that this little guy not only could imitate him but also was very good at this.


    <span><span><span><span><span>However, when he smelled the scent of ambrosian fruits given off by it, he furrowed his forehead.


    <span><span><span><span><span>It seemed that this phoenix was indeed the one who had stolen those fruits in the orchard.


    <span><span><span><span><span>His thousands of years'' work had been stolen. How could he not be angry? How could he be indifferent?


    <span><span><span><span><span>But surprisingly, apart from the scent of ambrosian fruits, he also sensed a trace of a summoner''s Qi in this little guy.


    <span><span><span><span><span>It had been indentured to a summoner?


    <span><span><span><span><span>The old man couldn''t help sizing it up. When he finally confirmed this, a sh of surprise crossed the bottom of his eyes.


    <span><span><span><span><span>A summoner had really been born on this Shenzhou continent?


    <span><span><span><span><span>"Give me my child back!" the phoenix thundered in anger.


    <span><span><span><span><span>The red figure that had been fighting with the middle-aged man furiouslyunched an attack on the old man, trying to s.n.a.t.c.h her son from the old man''s hand.


    <span><span><span><span><span>A cold look shed across the bottom of the old man''s eyes which had witnessed vicissitudes of his life.


    <span><span><span><span><span>With a twitch of his hand, a surge of potent power hurtled at the phoenix and threw her away.


    <span><span><span><span><span>"Ah..."


    <span><span><span><span><span>The phoenix was. .h.i.t by that weird, potent power and thrown back, almost totally powerless to fight back.


    <span><span><span><span><span>When a magic beast transformed itself into a human, its fighting capability would be slightly weaker, but she shouldn''t have been too weak to fight back. There was only one usible exnation for this: the opponent was too powerful!


    <span><span><span><span><span>Who was this old man exactly?


    <span><span><span><span><span>"Who are you exactly? Why did you take my son away from me?" The phoenix red at the old man standing in mid-air, her eyes wide with rage.


    <span><span><span><span><span>"If you want you son back, bring me that summoner whom your son is indentured to."


    <span><span><span><span><span>This was the only remark that the old man made. After saying this, he slowly turned around and left.


    <span><span><span><span><span>He had just turned around, but in the blink of an eye, his figure was hundreds of miles away, and the next second, his figure disappeared into the distance.


    <span><span><span><span><span>She wanted to pursue him but found that he was nowhere to be seen.


    <span><span><span><span><span>On seeing this, with a twitch of his figure, the middle-aged man also instantly disappeared into thin air on the spot.


    <span><span><span><span><span>Watching this, the phoenix was both angry and concerned.


    <span><span><span><span><span>But what angered her even more was that her son had been indentured to a human.


    <span><span><span><span><span>She recalled that ck-faced girl...


    <span><span><span><span><span>"Ah... Human! When I catch you, I''ll tear you to pieces<span><span><span>–<span><span>" A furious, piercing cry instantly rippled through the whole forest. Flocks of birds were rmed and scattered in all directions.


    <span><span><span><span><span>...


    <span><span><span><span><span>Yun Wu had no idea what had just happened in the depths of the Maple Ridge.


    <span><span><span><span><span>And she certainly didn''t know that her undesigned actions were going to generate a series of troublesome consequences.


    <span><span><span><span><span>The moment Yun Wu left the battlefield, shended in a lonely spot outside a border city.


    <span><span><span><span><span>Because she had faintly felt that two figures seemed to have been pursuing her.


    <span><span><span><span><span>It seemed that the two a.s.sa.s.sins had really been lying in ambush outside the forest, waiting for her to show up.


    <span><span><span><span><span>It was just that for some reason, they didn''tunch an attack on her but just followed her.


    <span><span><span><span><span>As Yun Wunded on the ground, she put on a ck robe, enveloped herself in wind element and with a twitch of her figure, she instantly disappeared into thin air on the spot.
