Su Yang looked utterly bewildered. Since when did he become so popular with birds?

Ye Xingjun stood in the distance, equally baffled.

He had been flicked by the masked man, suffering a significant injury, and now dared not approach rashly. After all, the masked man's power was incredibly strong.

However, this current scene left him completely in the dark.

How did the illusion behind Su Yang let out a roar, causing those vines to fly up and begin fighting with the masked man?

And what was up with those two birds?

Golden Phoenix, Three-legged Colorful Crow, each was undeniably a Divine Beast.

Ye Xingjun, being a member of the Feather Clan, naturally understood the terrifying aspects of these avian Divine Beasts.

The Golden Phoenix itself was the king among phoenixes.

As for the Three-legged Colorful Crow, its lineage seemed somewhat complex. It bore the bloodline of the Three-legged Golden Crow, and the flames it emitted felt reminiscent of the Divine Beast Bi Fang, while its colorful feathers suggested some connection to the Phoenix Clan.

Such a Divine Bird, carrying the bloodlines of three Divine Beasts, certainly wasn't much weaker than a Golden Phoenix.

Moreover, having matured to this state, both Divine Birds were already adults.

What level of power had these adult Divine Beast kings reached?

To put it this way, the Divine Beast Qilin, which once shattered the Heavenly Road, was a king among Divine Beasts and also an adult one.

According to the Ye Family Head, the strength of that Divine Beast Qilin could easily rank among the top ten even in the Feather Realm.

Now, with one Golden Phoenix and one Three-legged Colorful Crow, both being adult Divine Beast kings, how powerful must they be?

What perplexed Ye Xingjun the most was how these two Divine Beasts were so affectionate toward Su Yang, a phenomenon he couldn't make sense of at all.

Ye Xingjun was of the Feather Clan, an inherent kinship with these avian Divine Beasts was natural.

Yet, after these two Divine Beasts appeared, they didn't even glance at him, as if he didn't exist. What kind of feeling is this?

Ye Xingjun felt utterly exhausted; what was going on? Wasn't there supposed to be a natural connection between the Feather Clan and the Feather Spirit Palace? But now, it seemed far from comparable to Su Yang, a member of the Human Clan.

Su Yang was equally at a loss, but soon he realized the issue. He sensed a familiar aura on these two Divine Birds.

Especially the Golden Phoenix on his shoulder, constantly nuzzling his face.

Su Yang's eyes widened, tentatively saying, "Are you... Little Chick?"

The Golden Phoenix nodded vigorously, as if responding to Su Yang's words.

Su Yang was overjoyed and looked toward the Three-legged Colorful Crow: "Are you... Little Grey Bird?"

The Three-legged Colorful Crow nodded too.

Su Yang was utterly dumbfounded; these two little fellows turned out to be Little Chick and Little Grey Bird?

Little Chick was the young Divine Beast that Su Yang had once spirited away from Dawei Dragon Gate. Little Grey Bird was the tiny bird that always stayed by Qi'er's side.

Previously, when Su Yang was deceived by the Divine Master at Kunlun Mountain and entered the Turquoise Pool, the three Divine Beasts got lost inside as well.

Later, Su Yang found Little Turtle, who informed him that all three had entered the Feather Spirit Palace. However, Little Turtle was captured by the masked man and detained at the lake bottom, guarding it, while Little Chick and Little Grey Bird vanished without a trace.

Su Yang had always suspected that Little Chick and Little Grey Bird might have been captured by the masked man and suppressed elsewhere.

But now it seemed that wasn't the case. Little Chick and Little Grey Bird had ended up here and even grown up. Both of them were adults now!

It's worth noting that Divine Beasts have high talent, and once matured, their power is considerable. However, for a Divine Beast to grow is not an easy task. It requires a substantial supply of spiritual energy, a wealth of Talent and Earth Treasures, and many stringent conditions to develop progressively.

Yet now, these two little guys had become adults, a situation that completely surprised Su Yang.

Looking at these two little guys, the sadness in Su Yang's heart lessened somewhat. But seeing the masked man in the air still entangled with those vines, his anger surged again.

"You two, follow me to kill him!" Su Yang shouted furiously, "He killed Qi'er!"

"Chirp chirp..." The Three-legged Colorful Crow cried out angrily, loyalty to Qi'er burning bright.

The Golden Phoenix soared into the sky, its body instantly expanding more than tenfold, transforming into a phoenix several meters in size. It turned back to look at Su Yang, signaling him to sit on its back.

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, feeling a sense of comfort in his heart.

In the past, he always carried this little guy on his shoulder while running; now, it was finally his turn to ride on this little guy's back. It felt like his child had grown up.

Jumping onto the Golden Phoenix's back, the Three-legged Colorful Crow could no longer hold itself back, roaring and instantly flying to the masked man's side. It didn't perform any dazzling attack; it directly rammed its head at the masked man.

The masked man was already in a difficult struggle, entwined with several vines. Seeing the Three-legged Colorful Crow approaching, his brows knitted in frustration. He knew well the power of these Divine Beast kings.

He swung a palm backward, attempting to repel the Three-legged Colorful Crow. Yet, he evidently underestimated the Three-legged Colorful Crow's power.

The force of his palm was insufficient to block the Three-legged Colorful Crow. It crashed heavily into his hand, causing the masked man to stagger, barely able to maintain his footing.

Then, without hesitation, the Three-legged Colorful Crow opened its mouth and spat a fireball directly at the masked man.

The masked man's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly attempted to scatter the fireball. Yet, the fireball's potency exceeded his expectations, and his attempt to disperse it failed, resulting in the fireball igniting his clothes.

The masked man let out a low growl, swiftly patting out the flames on his body.

Meanwhile, the Golden Phoenix also charged forward, letting out a cry with its talons descending from the sky, aiming at the masked man's head.

The masked man was startled and quickly dodged, but the vines and the Three-legged Colorful Crow also assaulted him simultaneously.

Previously, the masked man was evenly matched with only the vines. Now, with the addition of two Divine Beast kings, he was completely overwhelmed.

Within a short time, the masked man's body suffered several injuries, and he found himself unable to resist.

This masked man, being pragmatic, turned to jump down when realizing he was no match, showing no desire to linger in battle.

Despite his strength, battling against a single Divine Beast king might still allow him to gain the upper hand. However, with these vines and two kingly Divine Beasts, continued fighting would lead to certain death.

The Three-legged Colorful Crow and the Golden Phoenix initially wanted to pursue him, but at this moment, the gap suddenly erupted in a blaze of red light. A mighty force exploded instantly, illuminating the entire sky with its red brilliance.
