“Then what should we do?” Leng Qingtian glared at Lin Liang with some displeasure. Xu Xing was right that he really cared about the lives of ordinary people. Unfortunately, what Xu Xing didn't know was that he, Leng Qingtian, cared more about the safety of his loved ones and friends. Although those people were innocent, he couldn't be so n.o.ble as to endanger his family and friends for strangers. He was also selfish.

“Don't worry. Let's discuss a good plan,” the old man said. They really didn't know what Xu Xing was thinking. He actually planned to use ordinary people to threaten them. In fact, at their level, how many of them would be soft-hearted? Whose hands were not stained with blood? Moreover, they could even sacrifice relatives if necessary, so what were these commoners?

“It's definitely not wise to go out to die while knowing that they're threatening us,” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

“However, I can go out and lure them away,” Leng Ruoxue continued. It was impossible to send her family and friends to their deaths because of strangers! But if the commoners were persecuted because of them, it was also not the outcome they wanted to see. She could leave them in the lurch, but she didn't want anyone to be hurt because of her. She was also very conflicted about this.

“No way!” the few people present said in unison. Even the beasts that slowly surrounded her had disapproval written all over their faces.

“Master, I won't let you out.” The little black fox jumped into Leng Ruoxue's arms coquettishly.

“Yes, Master. It's too dangerous outside. Don't go out,” Rise said as he wrapped himself around Leng Ruoxue's wrist.

“Master, Charm will be worried.” Charm also jumped into Leng Ruoxue's arms. The people outside were all Spiritual Deities of similar strength to them, but they outnumbered them by more than twofold. With such a huge disparity in combat strength, it would be wise to hide and wait for the right opportunity.

“Master!” The word 'worry' was written in Quill's sharp eyes.

“Don't be so nervous. I'm just going out to lure them away. If there's any danger, I'll come in immediately,” Leng Ruoxue explained. She probably wouldn't have such thoughts if not for the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

“In that case, we'll go out with you,” the old man said after some thought. He couldn't let the little girl go out alone. Instead of worrying about her inside, it would be better to go with her.

“No, you stay inside. If too many people go out, we will become separated. We won't be able to take care of each other then, and it will be easy for problems to arise.” Leng Ruoxue denied the old man's idea.

“Okay, all of you stay inside! I definitely have to go with Xue'er,” Freak said seriously while chewing on a spirit fruit. Xue'er better forget about leaving me behind!

“You stay inside too!” Leng Ruoxue said unquestionably.

“Xue'er…” Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly with tears s.h.i.+ning in his eyes.

“Don't play dirty!” Leng Ruoxue said without any room for negotiation and immediately left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

Then Leng Ruoxue summoned Quill.

“Quill, let's go lure those people away! This is the only thing we can do for the innocent commoners now.” Leng Ruoxue sat on Quill's back and patted his giant eagle head gently.

“Yes, Master.” Quill nodded happily. He flapped his huge wings as he jumped into the air. He knew that his master wouldn't leave him behind.

“What's so great about him? Isn't it just a pair of wings?!” Dazzle said with a face full of envy in the bracelet. Boohoo… Why don't I have wings? If I could fly, Master wouldn't have called that stinky bird out.

“That's right. Actually, I can fly too, but Master has never asked me to fly. She only calls that annoying bird!” Rise complained. He also grew a pair of wings after advancing to divine beast. But unfortunately, his master had never used him once. Boohoo…

“Master doesn't love me anymore,” Charm, who had always been composed and understanding, said with some disappointment.

“Xue'er is mine!” Ye Chen roared furiously as he looked at the beasts wallowing in self-pity.

“Master is ours!” the beasts shouted in unison, unwilling to be outdone.

Leng Qingtian and the others had a few black lines on their foreheads as they listened to the conversation between Ye Chen and the beasts. Alas! The enemies outside were eyeing them, yet they were fighting within!

Outside the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, Quill carried Leng Ruoxue and quickly caught up to Xu Xing and the others.

“Xu Xing, are you looking for me?” Leng Ruoxue stood on Quill's back in midair, facing Xu Xing and the others.

“Hmph! A puny little Spiritual Sovereign actually dares to be so arrogant,” Xu Xing said disdainfully while looking at Leng Ruoxue with hatred.

“That's better than exploiting the might of others!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, neither irritated nor angry.

“Leng Ruoxue, you're dead meat. I won't let you go!” Xu Xing roared in anger, his eyes shooting out raging flames.

“Really? I really want to know why you won't let me go?” Leng Ruoxue deliberately provoked.

“You…” Xu Xing couldn't take it anymore. He was about to rush over and kill Leng Ruoxue when someone stopped him.

“Young Master said that Leng Ruoxue can't be killed,” said the person who stopped Xu Xing expressionlessly.

“Senior, don't worry. I won't kill her. I just want to teach her a lesson so that her claws don't hurt Grandpa,” Xu Xing explained.

“Don't hurt her face,” the man warned coldly before retracting his arm, no longer stopping him.

“Thank you for granting my wish, Senior.” Xu Xing bowed gratefully. It seemed like his efforts during this period had finally paid off. Otherwise, why would these people be so easygoing?

“Leng Ruoxue, take this!” Just as Xu Xing was about to use his Frosty Palm, he saw the eagle flying away with Leng Ruoxue. He was so angry!

“Chase!” someone said. Xu Xing and the others released their flying spirit beasts to chase after Leng Ruoxue.

“Quill, fly slower,” Leng Ruoxue said very kindly. These people might be Spiritual Deities, but it was obvious that they didn't do well in the Upper Realm. Otherwise, why would their spiritual beasts be inferior to hers!
