"Fellow Daoist, have you rested well? Isn't it time to leave?"
Fong Wei, the Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix, opened her mouth for a long time before finally squeezing out this sentence. She still didn't dare to fight Yang Hong.
Once a battle began, if Yang Hong couldn't be killed in a short period, many of the Fire Phoenix Island's clansmen would be caught in the crossfire, resulting in immeasurable casualties.
Therefore, she could only ask Yang Hong to leave.
"I definitely haven't rested well. I only fell asleep not long ago before you woke me up."
"You..."
Yang Hong made Fong Wei's face turn green. She quickly said,
"However, never mind the rest. I've met that person before, and she was injured by me. I'll treat her wounds first."
Saying this, Yang Hong pointed to Fong Ruohua, who had already fallen to the 17th floor slab.
While speaking, he had already taken in the scene and recognized Fong Ruohua, who had been stunned by his aura.
For demon beasts who had cultivated to the seventh-tier Demon Lord and maintained their appearance unchanged for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it was a basic operation. After a second glance, Yang Hong recognized her.
This female demon had even forced a marriage on him back then.
That's right, they had even paid homage to heaven and earth.
"You know Ruohua? Are you the one Ruohua wanted to see?"
Following Yang Hong's finger, Fong Wei also saw the unconscious Fong Ruohua and instinctively moved to block Yang Hong's view of Fong Ruohua.
"Mmm— we've met once."
Yang Hong nodded. Judging by her reaction, he could confirm that she was Fong Ruohua's relative and elder. Therefore, he only said they had met once to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Then there's no need to trouble you, fellow Daoist. I can heal my little granddaughter myself. Please leave Fire Phoenix Island."
"Hmm?
Alright, I'll leave you some spiritual herbs. They will be useful for Fong Ruohua. Please pass them on for me."
Seeing Fong Wei's hurried desire to get rid of him, Yang Hong smiled knowingly. He casually took out ten nine-grade spiritual herbs, nine Sun-Rising Fruits, and nine Silver Moon Grasses.
"These are Sun-Rising Fruits, which have a certain effect on your Fire Phoenix tribe in regulating your fire demonic energy. This Silver Moon Grass can help Fong Ruohua break through to the seventh-tier Demon Lord realm."
"Fellow Daoist, is it really just an acquaintance with my granddaughter?"
Fong Wei looked at the twenty-eight spiritual herbs that flew before her. She could tell at a glance that they were all nine-grade spiritual herbs.
The entire Fire Phoenix Island couldn't produce twenty-eight nine-grade spiritual herbs at this time!
Such a generous gift, and it was just an acquaintance?
This human is a liar, not a word of truth in his mouth.
Yang Hong blinked innocently and said, "Mmm— really, more real than pearls."
For some reason, Fong Wei wanted to roll her eyes at Yang Hong. Then, this old phoenix, who had lived for over ten thousand years and had more than ten children, very girlishly rolled her eyes at Yang Hong.
"Hehe~"
Yang Hong just chuckled. His expression, however, turned solemn, and he took several steps back.
This was an ancient demon whose age was unknown. Such an expression was a little unsettling.
Fong Wei waved her hand and collected those nine-grade spiritual herbs. She turned and came to Fong Ruohua's side, pouring pure Fire Phoenix demonic power into Fong Ruohua's body to heal her injuries.
Qing Rongchang's Nascent Soul also quickly followed. He didn't dare to face Yang Hong alone, fearing that he might be killed and his soul scattered if he wasn't careful.
"Sun Wukong~"
Just as Yang Hong was about to turn and leave, Fong Ruohua cried out in surprise and woke up.
"Hmm?"
Fong Wei immediately shot him a cold glare.
This human was indeed full of lies.
"Hehe~ Hehe~ My name is Li Sen. Back then, in the Myriad Demon Sea, I used the name Sun Wukong for convenience of travel."
Sensing Fong Wei's resentment and anger, Yang Hong smiled helplessly. He wasn't scared, but he was a bit embarrassed.
"Grandmother~ He's my husband, my husband is back to find me, he didn't die in the Sealed Demon Secret Realm."
"It's you!"
Hearing Fong Ruohua's urgent words, Fong Wei exclaimed and stood up, her entire body surging with magical power, staring tensely at Yang Hong.
"Are you human or demon?"
As Fong Wei spoke, she kept her hands behind her back, constantly signaling to other phoenixes not far behind her to notify the clan's strong cultivators to be on guard.
The Sealed Demon Secret Realm was a place where human powerhouses: Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper Realm, and demon powerhouses: Demon Immortals from the Upper Realm, could only continuously reinforce the seal together to prevent demons from escaping from within.
The fact that Yang Hong could emerge from the Sealed Demon Secret Realm was definitely a major problem.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I escaped from the Sealed Demon Secret Realm back then and returned directly to the Taiyuan Continent.
Alright, my name is Yang Hong, the sect master of Qingfeng Villa. I believe you've heard of my great name, right?"
"Yang Hong?
The name Yang Hong is indeed famous. Then what are his achievements?"
Fong Wei did not relax her vigilance. Other strong cultivators of the Fire Phoenix tribe had already slowly spread out, surrounding this port.
"My main achievements should be discovering several spiritual plants, cultivating several spiritual plants, resolving the Li Huo flying locust disaster, and solving the food crisis in the Taiyuan Realm.
I doubt you're interested in anything else."
"Mmm~ Indeed."
Hearing Yang Hong's slightly self-deprecating words, Fong Wei nodded in agreement.
The name [Yang Hong] had become widely known to both humans and demons because he had cultivated various plants, not only for the food of ordinary humans but also for the food of ordinary animals and low-level demons, that is, feed.
With the mutation of spiritual energy in the Taiyuan Realm, he had also cultivated dozens of low-grade spiritual plants, preventing demons and low-level cultivators from starving to death.
As for his other achievements and battles, no demon cared.
"Sun Wukong, give birth to eggs with me!"
Just as Fong Wei was about to say something, Fong Ruohua stood up and flew over, shouting loudly.
Even now, she hadn't noticed the Nascent Soul not far beside her was Qing Rongchang.
"Wait~ Stop, I don't want to lay eggs with you!"
Yang Hong was startled, and his aura spread out again. This time, it was without killing intent, just separating Fong Ruohua, and he didn't injure her further.
"It's you~ It's you, you heartless wretch, who injured me and stunned me with your aura!"
Sensing the suppression of the powerful cultivation aura, Fong Ruohua immediately understood how she had fainted.
"It was me.
But you have yourself to blame. I was sleeping soundly, and you suddenly barged in. Not being instantly killed by me is your greatest fortune.
Don't believe me? Ask the one behind you."
Yang Hong shrugged innocently and pointed to the Nascent Soul behind her.
"Eh~ Qing Rongchang, your physical body was scattered? Where is your physical body?"
Only then did Fong Ruohua notice the pitiable Qing Luan Qing Rongchang.
Her face showed a hint of surprise; she didn't have to marry Qing Rongchang anymore. Then her face turned pale, and she turned to look at Yang Hong in horror.
What he said was true; not being killed by him was indeed her greatest fortune.
"Fellow Daoist, please accept the inspection of my Fire Phoenix tribe to confirm you are not a demon."
While Fong Ruohua and Yang Hong were chatting, Fong Wei had already completed the arrangement of nine ninth-tier Demon Emperors. The fire phoenixes had set up a formation, completely encircling Yang Hong.
"You can."
Yang Hong had already seen Fong Wei's arrangements and didn't stop her. He readily accepted her request.
He had directly fought with demons and knew their cunning and trickery. He also knew how strictly cultivators and demons of the Taiyuan Continent guarded against demons. He didn't want to be mistaken for a demon and be hunted everywhere.
Don't forget that there were quite a few Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper Realm staying in the Taiyuan Realm now. The Demon Immortal before him might even be a demon immortal from the lower realm.
The sooner he proved his identity, the smoother his return to the Taiyuan Continent would be, and the faster and more efficient it would be.
Moreover...
