Li Wan Hua, with his Immortal Physique, faced the carriage and bowed slightly.
"Yes, my lord, Li Wan Hua of the Huaxian Sect wishes to serve my lord," he said with utmost reverence.
In the next moment, his figure suddenly became ethereal.
His form was graceful, like an immortal descending to the world.
Inwardly full of spirit, outwardly radiant.
The whole person was full of vigor, exuding an imposing presence.
Only his face was a bit charred; if it weren't, he would look exactly like a true immortal.
"Everyone carrying the carriage, follow my footsteps!
If you lag behind,
causing the lord to miss out on fresh meat and the most tender flavors,
don't blame the lord for being harsh!" Li Wan Hua said indifferently.
His figure vanished from where he stood, weaving through towering trees.
Boom, boom, boom!
The trees were cut down and fell in succession, as he opened up a wide path ahead.
Ling Hu Chongtian smirked slightly.
"That guy, always making a show, even more than anyone else!"
*It's not just about showing off,*
*there's another word he didn't say—*
*sucking up!*
*But he couldn't refute it, because the other side was aligning with Yang Yan's intentions, serving Yang Yan.*
*Even if Li Wan Hua was borrowing Yang Yan's authority to pressure them, they had to endure!*
*Otherwise, if Yang Yan got angry, they'd all be in trouble.*
"Let's go!"
Ling Hu Chongtian lifted the carriage, leading at the forefront.
It wasn't long before they saw a massive silhouette.
The figure stood atop a tall mountain, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
With the appearance of a lion, its long and sharp fangs were strikingly fierce.
Its eyes were a deep red, with only a hint of white around them.
A fierce and terrifying visage.
Especially with the wings folded on its back.
"Flying Heavenly Lion!" Li Wan Hua said coldly.
He recognized that Exotic Beast!
Naturally, he also knew the capabilities of that Exotic Beast, roughly in the Daoist Palace Realm.
The Flying Heavenly Lion slowly turned its head, its eyes fixating on Li Wan Hua.
Roar!
It roared at Li Wan Hua, its wings unfurling instantly.
The wings were about ten meters long.
As they flapped, they stirred up a furious wind.
The gusts swept over, buffeting Li Wan Hua's form.
"Vile beast, you dare to cause trouble, heedless of your own life!" Li Wan Hua shouted.
He pointed his finger into the void.
"Immortal Pointing the Way!"
The power of this finger could pierce through tens of thousands of feet of void.
In the blink of an eye, it reached in front of the Flying Heavenly Lion.
The Flying Heavenly Lion flapped its wings, dodging this strike.
Then with a pounce, it aimed straight at Li Wan Hua.
"Immortal, point again!"
Li Wan Hua pointed continuously into the void, channeling formidable Profound Qi toward the Flying Heavenly Lion.
Under such a barrage of attacks, the Flying Heavenly Lion couldn't dodge in time.
The Immortal Pointing the Way struck directly!
Exposing a great flaw, allowing Li Wan Hua to seize the opportunity.
"Immortal, slash!"
He withdrew his finger, covering his hand, then swung it backhandedly.
His palm was like a blade, cleaving down.
Profound Qi spread out, slaughtering the wounded Flying Heavenly Lion that had exposed a flaw.
Blood splattered, spilling out.
Inside the carriage, Xue Ni Chang fanned Yang Yan with a lotus leaf.
Jing Yin and Jingxin were kneading and massaging Yang Yan's legs.
Leng Bi Yue, on the other hand, prepared rare fruits to offer to Yang Yan.
At this moment, Leng Bi Yue's eyes were deep as she stared at Li Wan Hua.
"Master, after the suppression of the Heavenly Tribulation,
the severely injured Li Wan Hua, with his Immortal Physique, seems to have unlocked more mystical abilities.
I'm afraid he might become a threat to you," she pointed out Li Wan Hua's odd behavior.
The reason for alerting Yang Yan was her life belonged to Yang Yan. If Yang Yan were in danger, she would also die.
So, now she only hoped Yang Yan could live as long as possible.
"If I can defeat him once, I can keep defeating him!
He will never win against me!" Yang Yan replied calmly.
Dominant!
Confident!
Xue Ni Chang, who was fanning, couldn't help but recall what Yang Yan had said to the Heavenly Eye God Sovereign.
He was once an Emperor, and he would be an Emperor again!
It was eerily similar to today's words!
Xue Ni Chang's understanding of Yang Yan became clearer.
"He managed to live a second life, that kind of character is crucial!"
Every Emperor has self-confidence and dominance.
Yang Yan had it all!
*"Can I be like him?"* Xue Ni Chang wondered.
*Throughout history, who wouldn't want to become an Emperor?*
*She desired it too!*
Thud!
At this moment, a thud sounded as Li Wan Hua arrived before Yang Yan's carriage, holding the corpse of the Flying Heavenly Lion.
"My lord, the ingredient you requested, I have prepared it," he reported.
Yang Yan acknowledged with a nod.
"Zhan Wuchang, cut off the wings of this Flying Heavenly Lion.
Then use your spear to pierce the inner wings, clean them, and roast them for me," Yang Yan instructed.
He had tasted chicken wings, duck wings, and goose wings.
The Flying Heavenly Lion's wings, however, he had not yet tasted.
Today, he could give it a try!
To roast the Flying Heavenly Lion with the Divine Spear!
If someone else had spoken to Zhan Wuchang this way, he might have unleashed Mad Blood and launched an attack.
But it was Yang Yan speaking, his master!
"Today, my spear shall be as my life!"
The spear used by the Zhan Family's direct descendant was a treasured family heirloom.
Spear in hand, life intact; spear lost, life lost!
He had to treat this spear as his life.
"I carry the carriage like an ox or horse!
You grill the meat, endure a little smoke, it's not too much," Zhan Wuchang mused.
Zhan Wuchang put down the carriage.
"Yes, my lord."
Zhan Wuchang moved, drawing the long spear from his back.
He acted!
"Shadow Assassin, Shui Zhonglan.
I command you to carve up the remaining Exotic Beast's body, separating its flesh and bones," Yang Yan then ordered the Shadow Assassin, Shui Zhonglan.
She was an assassin; her swordsmanship was the most delicate.
Perfect for slicing meat and carving bones.
Meat could be roasted or cooked, while the bones,
"Bones are highly nutritious and invigorating!" Yang Yan mused.
The Shadow Assassin, skilled in killing, with countless techniques.
Now to use the sword meant for killing, to carve bone and eat meat.
It felt somewhat like a waste of talent!
But the Shadow Assassin Shui Zhonglan dared not refuse.
It was, after all, an order from her master!
"Understood!" Shui Zhonglan replied loudly.
The remaining Ling Hu Chongtian and the Divine Race member, Gu,
were tasked by Yang Yan to search for honey for grilling the meat and wings.
"Yes!"
Everyone dispersed, each busy with their own tasks.
Inside the carriage, Yang Yan was quite at ease.
With Jing Yin, Jingxin, Xue Ni Chang, and Leng Bi Yue attending to him, he was very comfortable.
In no time, a large wing was skewered onto a long spear.
It was placed over a fire to roast.
Beside the wing, Ling Hu Chongtian occasionally poured wine or smeared honey, continuing the barbecue.
"We're running out of firewood. I'll go gather some," Zhan Wuchang said.
He stood up and left the fire.
Entering the darkness of the forest, seeking dry wood.
"Wuchang!" A deep voice echoed.
Zhan Wuchang turned back to see his brother, Zhan Tianyi.
"Brother, you came in too!" Zhan Wuchang was delighted.
Zhan Tianyi, however, wore a stern expression.
"I heard you've become someone's carriage servant?" he questioned coldly.
Zhan Wuchang nodded slightly.
"Brother, I have unspoken reasons..."
Zhan Tianyi snorted coldly.
"Regardless of the reason, no Zhan Family member should ever become someone else's carriage servant.
Such disgrace!
You've brought shame to the Zhan Family!" Zhan Tianyi shouted angrily.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
"Where is the ancestral Divine Spear?" Zhan Tianyi demanded.
Zhan Wuchang cast his gaze towards the direction of the fire, showing a look of embarrassment.
"There!" Zhan Tianyi's combat intent surged wildly.
His powerful aura manifested into a fierce wind, blowing the obstructing branches aside.
So he could see the scene by the fire.
"The treasured family spear, and you use it to roast wings!!!"
