49: Chapter 49: The Infinite Heaven and Earth, the Universe Borrows the Law

Wang Bin looked at the complex expressions of the people in the city, sighed inwardly, then deliberately frowned, pretending to be deep in thought, but in reality, he was stalling for time.

Just then, Chen Fei anxiously transmitted a message to Wang Bin from within the Formation:

"Junior Brother Qingmu, you absolutely must not believe what the Yao Beasts say! You must know, those not of our race are sure to have different intentions!

They have always been cunning and unpredictable. Their current request must hide another conspiracy."

Wang Bin understood Chen Fei's worries. He nodded slightly, then said to the Azure Flame Bird:

"Friend of the Yao Race, your madam is currently only injured, and two of our human fellow disciples are still missing. Furthermore, there have been many human casualties in this conflict.

I believe both sides have suffered losses. How about this: we compensate you with some Medicinal Pills for healing, and we consider this matter settled.

As you can see, if we continue to fight, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. At that point, we can only fight to the death, which is not a good outcome for any of us."

After listening to Wang Bin, the anger in the Azure Flame Bird's eyes eased slightly. It tilted its head slightly, seemingly pondering Wang Bin's proposal.

It turned its head to look at the chaotic battlefield outside the city, where thousands of human corpses lay scattered, emitting a pungent smell of blood that permeated the air.

Seeing this scene, the rage in the Azure Flame Bird's heart gradually dissipated by more than half.

It thought to itself, if these humans compensated it with some Medicinal Pills for healing, and it brought them back to help its madam recuperate for a period, perhaps its madam's injuries could fully heal.

After all, deep down, it had always considered itself a kind Azure Flame Bird and did not wish to provoke too much war.

Moreover, when it lived in the center of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, those humans had shown it considerable respect and even taught it a lot about Cultivation and survival, which gave it a special affection for humans.

However, just as the Azure Flame Bird was about to agree to Wang Bin's proposal, Fox Seven suddenly stepped forward and loudly interjected:

"No, Brother Bird, you must not be deceived by the humans' flowery words!

I understand these humans too well. This time, they must have deliberately come to the Demon Beast Mountain Range specifically to hunt you Azure Flame Birds.

Think about it, your Azure Flame Bird Bloodline is so noble; a certain body part of yours might be of great use for their Alchemy or Artifact Refining.

Although they failed this time, they will certainly not let it go and there will be a next time.

Furthermore, we killed their fellow disciples before and ate so many humans; they will definitely seek revenge on us.

Right now, they are just stalling for time; this is a despicable tactic they humans always use."

The reason Fox Seven was so resolute in its opposition was because it knew that this Azure Flame Bird came from the center of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and its Bloodline was much nobler than its own, but its personality was too simple and easily deceived.

As for itself, its mother had been cruelly killed by human Cultivators, reportedly so that the human Cultivators could take its mother's heart for Alchemy.

Therefore, Fox Seven was filled with hatred for humans, wishing it could immediately devour all the humans present today.

After listening to Fox Seven, the Azure Flame Bird reacted as if waking from a dream. It instantly realized that it had almost fallen for the humans' trick and immediately became furious.

It angrily chirped twice towards the sky. These two chirps were like battle horns, once again issuing the command to continue the attack.

Just at this critical moment, Chen Fei's message once again entered Wang Bin's mind:

"Junior Brother Qingmu, we need to stall for a bit more time. We'll be ready soon."

Wang Bin gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, circulated all the Spiritual Qi in his body, and loudly roared:

"Stop!"

This roar was like thunder, exploding in the sky, not only startling the people in the city but also causing the Yao Beasts opposite to momentarily freeze.

Wang Bin continued, "Friends of the Yao Race, I advise you to stop while you're ahead.

I am the City Lord of White Cloud City. Do not force me to use my final resort.

I possess a secret technique of self-mutilation. Once unleashed, although I will pay a huge price, at least half of you Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts will die.

At that point, both sides will end up severely wounded. Why bother?"

"Chirp!"

"Full attack, eat all the humans."

The Azure Flame Bird and the Red Fox issued attack commands almost simultaneously.

With these two commands, the already restless Yao Beasts outside the city, like ignited powder kegs, surged forward madly once more.

They bared their fangs and claws, charging towards White Cloud City, emitting various terrifying roars.

Seeing this, Wang Bin quickly circulated the Spiritual Qi within his body, gathering it all in his chest, then let out another earth-shattering roar.

This roar seemed to contain some mysterious power, successfully attracting the attention of all the Yao Beasts present.

They involuntarily stopped their attacks and turned to look at Wang Bin.

Wang Bin seized this opportunity to quickly retrieve a shield talisman from his Storage Pouch.

He held the shield talisman tightly in both hands, pretending to be solemn and serious, and loudly chanted:

"Heaven and Earth without limits, Qiankun borrow Dao, protect my true self.

Divine spirits descend, auspiciousness abounds, evil spirits retreat.

Heart towards light, will like rock, fearless forward.

Brave the ends of the earth, eliminate demons and guard the Dao, mission on shoulders.

Vast righteous Qi, eternal in the world, glory forever passed down."

As his voice grew louder and more impassioned, the Aura around him also surged like a rocket launching, becoming increasingly powerful.

The Azure Flame Bird and the Red Fox opposite, looking at Wang Bin's appearance, inexplicably felt a hint of fear.

They hesitated for a moment, ultimately lacking the courage to charge and attack, instead slowly retreating a few steps.

Wang Bin saw that he had successfully bluffed the Yao Beasts opposite, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a touch of joy.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and realized that enough time had been stalled. So, he stopped pretending and suddenly roared:

"Go!"

He quickly pulled out two bottles of aphrodisiacs, meticulously prepared by Li Lei, from his bosom with his left hand, then tightly wrapped them with Spiritual Qi, throwing them forcefully towards the Yao Beasts opposite, like throwing a hidden weapon.

While throwing the aphrodisiacs, his right hand quickly took out a Formation Flag and waved it in front of him, casting out complex incantations to control White Cloud City's protective Formation.

Then, his figure, like a flash of lightning, swiftly darted into the Formation, safely returning to White Cloud City.

The people in the city cheered when they saw their City Lord return safely, while the Yao Beasts outside the city, after a brief moment of astonishment, once again fell into chaos and agitation. A new crisis seemed to be quietly brewing.
