Looking at the group of people running away, Shen Yanxiao grunted and lifted her head to look at the Phoenixes.

The male Phoenix and female Phoenix slowly turned into flames as they landed back to the ground and transformed back to their human form.

Uncle Jiu, Du lang and the other people who were watching by the side had already been terrified after they saw the Phoenixes changed from their beast form. They couldn’t believe what they just saw.

They couldn’t believe that the pair of handsome man and beautiful woman besides Shen Yanxiao was actually the legendary magical beast… Phoenix?!

In other words, in the whole journey, they had been living with two Mythological Beasts…

And were chatting with two Mythological Beasts…

This was such a fantasy!

“Thanks a lot.” Shen Yanxiao looked at the two Phoenixes and gaved a smile. She originally intended to dispose them herself, she didn’t expect that the two Phoenixes would take the initiative to attack first and scare them off to make them retreat.

“This shouldn’t be, we haven’t done anything yet.” The Male Phoenix smiled. At most, they had only changed into their beast form and did not actually do anything.

It could be said that it was just because Qu Rui’s mental ability was very poor.

But on the other hand, it could also be said that Qu Rui was wise; he knew that if they did engage in a fight, even if they have more than two hundred magical beasts, they were still not qualified to warm the two Phoenixes up.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and turned around to look at the one hundred and twenty people with their mouths wide-opened.

No matter if it was the villagers or the mercenaries, all of their appearance were stiffed as they looked at her as if they were looking at a ghost.

“Hey, Little Xiao, these two are…?” Du Lang felt that he was under a pressure as he looked respectfully at the eyes of the two Phoenixes.

There was a speculation in Du Lang’s heart. Could these two Phoenixes be the same Phoenixes in the Mount Ku Luo?

If they were, then how did Shen Yanxiao managed to get them?

“This is the Male Phoenix, this is the Female Phoenix. They are all Phoenix. You should have seen them before when you were on Mount Ku Luo.” Shen Yanxiao did not intend to hide anything. She trusted this group of people really well.

She did not suspect anyone from her group!

“It turned out to be the two Mythological Beasts. Forgive me if I have offended you previously.” Du Lang wiped the cold sweat on his head. Even if he tried to remain calm, he really could not calmly face these two Mythological Beasts at all.

For an average person, a Mythological Beast was equivalent to a legend. Nevermind about making a contract with a Mythological Beast, even seeing them was very rare.

The two Phoenixes did not completely recognized who Du Lang was, hence, they just remained silent and continued smiling.

“What is going on? How come I saw that you are about to fight?” Uncle Jiu was secretly surprised yet gave Shen Yanxiao a worried look.

Shen Yanxiao shrugged.

“Naturally, it was to beat the c.r.a.p out of them to make them get lost! Did you think I would invite them for a cup of tea?”

Uncle Jiu sighed and said, “Whose country does this group of people belong to?”

“Lan Yue Dynasty.”

“You!” Uncle Jiu shook his head, there was a helpless looked on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yanxiao noticed Uncle Jiu’s sighing appearance and realized that something was odd. She already drove the plunderers away. So why was there traces of unease and worry in Uncle Jiu’s face?

Uncle Jiu looked at the young Shen Yanxiao and slowly said, “Dear Little Xiao, although you did the right thing, but the time is wrong.”

“Why do you say that?”

“The other three countries already have a stable power in the Barren Land. They have already laid a foundation here and hence have a certain strength and manpower. But you, on the other hand, is different. You just came here and still needs to start everything from scratch. By doing that action you just made, they would bring you unnecessary troubles in the future while you are trying to build your city in the Barren Land. This time, although they are gone, it’s hard to guarantee that they will not have a grudge for what you have done.”

“So what?” Shen Yanxiao replied.

Du Lang looked at Uncle Jiu before he looked at Shen Yanxiao again. Instead of Uncle Jiu, he explained, “Uncle Jiu meant that, that group of people came here to mine because there weren’t any master who owned this area previously. Those people you’ve met today are just some coa.r.s.e fishes. Although they are easy to deal with, it will inevitably provoke the powers behind their back. Their true backbone is in their main city in the Barren Land. Do you think that anyone who could build a city in the Barren Land would be just any ordinary person? If they really have decided to turn against you, it will be difficult for you to build a city here.”

Today’s matter, Shen Yanxiao wasn’t wrong for her action as the master of the eastern region.

However, mistakes were still mistakes. Their current strength was the weakest in the Barren Land. Those who already have deep foundation here could easily cause them troubles. They knew a lot of things in the Barren Land, unlike Shen Yanxiao who was still new to the environment.

Whether it was time, place or people, Shen Yanxiao was in a complete disadvantage.
