Chapter 457 The real Ten Thousand Bird king

Seeing the golden rays, the rocs who were there all wanted to serve him wholeheartedly. An aura that was a bloodline higher than the Great Roc caused their spirits to tremble.

As the golden rays dissipated, Crimson Flame appeared in front of Sima You Yue. When he saw the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, his eyebrows furrowed together. He said with reproach, "Why didn't you call me out?"

Wind Roc's pressure was dispelled the moment Crimson Flame appeared. Sima You Yue stood up and wiped the blood stain away. She took out a pill and ate it before saying, "Wasn't it because I saw that you were sleeping? I was planning on calling on you if I really couldn't hold on."

Crimson Flame looked at Sima You Yue. Was it because he wasn't usually around that his presence couldn't be felt? This brat was his master, but she didn't have a habit of relying on him.

This was something that he had always wanted to see in the past. However, seeing this right now, he was extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, how weak was she? She had just begun cultivating and was afraid that she would depend too much on him if she knew his power and lose her motivation. As he got to know her, he realised that no matter how good the external circumstances were for her, it would not cause her to lose her motivation.

He secretly sighed and turned around to look at Wind Roc and the others. He didn't say a word. He merely placed both hands behind his back and released his aura. The spirit beasts on the mountain could only feel a pressure penetrating deep into their soul, and the four winged rocs flying up in the sky all fell to the ground.

Not only that, even the other bird species on the mountain all knelt before him.

"This, this is-"

Wind Roc looked at Crimson Flame in panic. He couldn't control his body and knelt before him directly.

Only Little Roc could force himself to stand because he had a contract with Sima You Yue, just like Crimson Flame did. However, a feeling of wanting to pledge his allegiance to him still rose, as if it was something innate.

Chou Xiao Tian and the others all escaped the moment the four winged rocs fell from the sky. They looked at Sima You Yue in shock. They never expected that she would actually have a contracted beast like this!

Was she really someone who had come up from below? How could she have so many contracted beasts, with each one more powerful than the one before? That Little Roc was the king of rocs was already extremely shocking. Now, this one had appeared and they could tell at a glance that he was an even more important king!

Crimson Flame looked arrogantly at Wind Roc and the others, saying, lightly, "Is my master someone that you can casually touch?"

As he spoke, he intensified the pressure on Wind Roc, until he was paralysed. His torso lay flat on the ground.

"This isn't the aura of a roc. You- You're a divine bird!" An elder cried out.

Sima You Yue blinked in confusion. She had no idea what this divine bird was that they were talking about. She turned towards crimson flame. Now that they mentioned it, she had yet to see his actual appearance!

Crimson Flame saw her curious gaze and asked, "You want to see my actual appearance?"

"I want to understand you." Sima You Yue said. She was probably the only person on the entire continent who was so /(>A<)\ that="" she="" didn't="" know="" what="" her="" own="" contracted="" beast="" looked=""></)\>

"Okay."

Crimson Flame gave her a light smile and waved his hand. Within the space of 10 metres, a barrier was created. After that he leapt into the air, and as he was in the sky, he changed his appearance and a huge red colored bird appeared in front of everyone.

"This- is this a phoenix?" When Lian Hong saw Crimson Flame flying in the air, he asked, dumbfounded.

Chou Xiao Tian gulped and said, "This isn't a phoenix… it should be one of the immemorial mythological beasts… The Divine Vermilion Bird."

He slowly felt as if he couldn't breathe. He had actually seen the Vermilion Bird of the legends. It was just too inconceivable!

Sima You Yue was also stunned when she saw what Crimson Flame looked like. She had seen a description of the Vermilion Bird in the ancient texts. In the whole universe, there was one and only. With one appearance of the divine bird, ten thousand birds would pay their allegiance!

Four Winged Roc and the others were all completely petrified. The Divine Bird that had never been born in the last million years had appeared. And it was even serving the same master as Little Roc!

If it was Little Roc, they could still force her to remove her contract. They could still disobey. However, now that they were in front of the Divine Bird, they were merely like ants.

Just like he said, they had no right at all to touch Sima You Yue. His master was someone who was a much much higher rank than them.

After Crimson Flame circled the sky once, he flew down to Sima You Yue. When he landed beside her, he had once again transformed into a peerlessly attractive male.

"We did not know that he was the master of the king. We have sinned, may the king pardon us." Wind Roc knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice.

Crimson Flame looked at Wind Roc and stretched out a hand holding a fireball. They could feel how hot the fireball was and terror filled the eyes of Wind Roc and the others.

"Master…" Little Roc looked at Sima You Yue with pleading eyes.

Sima You Yue patted Little Roc's head, saying, "Crimson Flame, let's let them off on the account of the fact that they are Little Roc's clan members. In any case, I wasn't too badly injured. If you kill them, Little Roc will be sad."

Wind Roc and the others never thought that Sima You Yue would speak up on their behalf. They had really wanted to kill her just now.

Lifting their heads, they saw the pampering look she had in her eyes as she looked at Little Roc. Only then did they understand that she was merely doing it on Little Roc's behalf. She merely did not want him to be sad.

That meant that, when she had said she would go along with Little Roc's wishes, she had meant it.

Ninth Roc looked at Sima You Yue and her heart ached. She knew that Sima You Yue would have complied with Little Roc's wishes and given him what he wanted. Why did she, as a mother, fail to do even as good as a human?

Furthermore, Little Roc was even more dependent on Sima You Yue. They looked more like a family than they did.

Sima You Yue saw the look in Ninth Roc's eyes and patted Little Roc's head, saying, "Go and help your mother up."

Little Roc nodded and he flapped his wings to fly over to Ninth Roc's side, saying, "Mother, I really do not wish to separate from my master. You guys should stop forcing me. Mother, get up."

Ninth Roc stood up with Little Roc's support. She really did not feel Crimson Flame's pressure anymore.

She touched Little Roc's face, saying, "Mother will not force you anymore. Just do whatever you want to do. As long as you are happy."

The Four Winged Roc clan did not know what to say when they saw things play out with way. With Crimson Flame present, how would they still dare to force Sima You Yue and Little Roc apart?"

"The rest of you may rise." Sima You Yue said.

Wind Roc and the others saw that Crimson Flame did not object, and all stood up. Now that they were facing Ten Thousand Bird King, they had no idea what they should say.

In the end, it was still Wind Roc who opened his mouth to say, "We apologise for our behaviour before. Actually, we did it because we wanted to protect him. If we let the other bird clans find out about his existence, they will definitely spare no effort to kill him."

"Which clans?" Sima You Yue furrowed her brows. Since the Four Winged Rocs all knew of Little Roc, the other bird clans must have gotten wind of it as well. If they didn't clarify it, who knows how much trouble they would bring.

"Which?" Crimson Flame asked.

"The Goshawk clan place great importance on the idea that the seven to eight bird clans should be under one rule. In the past, all our children who died prematurely were killed by them." Wind Roc replied.

"Master, I want to transform." Little Roc suddenly said.

Everyone turned to look at Little Roc. Nobody understood why he would suddenly want to do this at this time.
