"Ancestor, although the Xiao Family currently has no rivals in Wutan City, the highest fighting force within the Family is barely a Great Dou Master..."
"Since you have already decided to protect me during my external training, I think we still need to find a bodyguard for the Xiao Family..."
Xiao Yi slowly stood up, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he spoke softly.
Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "Indeed..."
"Do you have a good candidate in mind?"
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi's mouth curved upwards: "I don't have a person, but I seem to have a Demonic Beast..."
"A Demonic Beast..."
Xiao Yi nodded, raised his hand, and pointed in the direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range: "The overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Tier Six Demonic Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King..."
Hearing this, a trace of disdain appeared on Xiao Xuan's face: "Only Tier Six? A Demonic Beast of this Rank probably hasn't even taken human form yet..."
It was no wonder Xiao Xuan looked down on the Amethyst Winged Lion King, after all, the Demonic Beasts he had interacted with during his lifetime were terrifying existences like the Void Ancient Dragon.
Xiao Yi, however, looked a bit embarrassed: "Ancestor, it seems that this Tier Six Demonic Beast is the best choice now. We can't really go and kidnap a human expert to protect the Xiao Family, right..."
Xiao Xuan nodded upon hearing this: "That is true. A Tier Six Demonic Beast's strength can barely be counted as a Dou Huang. It should be sufficient for this small place..."
"Otherwise, that old fellow Gu Yuan wouldn't have only arranged for a Dou Huang to be his daughter's bodyguard..."
... The Magical Beast Mountain Range was not far from Wutan City.
Early the next morning, after Xiao Yi briefly greeted Xiao Zhan, he stepped out of Wutan City and headed toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Outside Wutan City.
Xiao Yi sighed softly: "Ancestor, although the Magical Beast Mountain Range is not too far from Wutan City, relying on my strength as a Dou Master, walking there will take a lot of time. Therefore, I trouble Ancestor to possess my body so we can save some time..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice: "Brat, didn't I just say before that if I possess your body, your physical frame won't be able to handle it..."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "That's why, this time when possessing me, please trouble Ancestor to control your power and only exert the level of a Dou Wang. Being able to use Dou Qi Manifestation: Wings is enough..."
Xiao Xuan sighed: "Brat, you truly are troublesome... I shall follow your wishes..."
As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a red mark immediately lit up on Xiao Yi's forehead, and streaks of red Qi emanated from Xiao Yi's eyes.
The next second, a pair of deep red wings, manifested by Dou Qi, suddenly grew from Xiao Yi's back.
His figure turned into a stream of light, flying at full speed toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The speed of flying in the air was naturally incomparable to walking on the ground.
Relying on the Dou Qi Manifestation: Wings, Xiao Yi did not spend much time before arriving deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Xiao Yi went straight to the most central location of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
This also saved him the trouble of being disturbed by other Demonic Beasts.
Xiao Yi slowly landed as Xiao Xuan departed from his body.
The red mark on Xiao Yi's forehead vanished, and the aura belonging to a Dou Wang expert also dissipated, returning him to the Dou Master Realm.
However, the moment Xiao Yi first stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the aura of the Dou Wang expert was already noticed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Roar!"
A fierce energy fluctuation and a violent lion's roar suddenly exploded in the sky above Xiao Yi's head.
However, Xiao Yi was not afraid in the slightest, instead, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted: "Ancestor, it seems the Lion King has arrived..."
Just as Xiao Yi finished speaking, streaks of red light instantly appeared in the sky above his head.
An extremely massive figure was flapping its giant wings behind it, hovering right above Xiao Yi.
"As expected of a Tier Six Demonic Beast, it looks very imposing!"
At the same time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King also noticed that Xiao Yi was currently standing beneath its feet.
It let out an angry roar:
"Audacious human! Daring to trespass into this King's territory! You shall be executed!"
As the Amethyst Winged Lion King finished speaking, extremely terrifying auras immediately swept out, actually shaking down all the trees surrounding Xiao Yi.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi quickly circulated the Dou Qi within his body to resist, and said in a deep voice:
"Lion King, don't be hasty. My sudden intrusion today is to conduct a transaction with the Lion King..."
Seeing Xiao Yi's completely composed appearance, a glimmer flashed in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes, and it gained some interest.
"A transaction?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "I came today to borrow the Lion King's purple spirit crystal... And furthermore..."
However, before Xiao Yi could finish speaking, the Amethyst Winged Lion King hovering in the air instantly burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha!"
"Have humans become this stupid now..."
"My Amethyst Winged Lion clan only sheds one of these from our bodies every twenty years. You say 'borrow' and expect to borrow it?"
"I wonder if you brat have no brains, or if you think this King is an idiot?"
After the Amethyst Winged Lion King finished speaking, it instantly lost interest and immediately planned to kill Xiao Yi right there.
But Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Lion King, I originally wanted to discuss this peacefully with you. Does it seem that's no longer possible?"
Hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't help but laugh out loud again: "Have humans truly lost all sense now..."
"A mere Dou Master dares to speak to this King like this!"
"Your crime warrants execution!"
As the Amethyst Winged Lion King finished speaking, it didn't want to waste any more words.
It immediately unleashed a terrifying and powerful pressure, preparing to directly crush Xiao Yi to death!
However, Xiao Yi was unhurried about this, and shouted loudly.
"Ancestor, assist me!"
Xiao Xuan sighed rather helplessly: "Foolish brat, I told you long ago, it's better to just act immediately and subdue it. Why waste words..."
As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, that familiar red aura surged into Xiao Yi's body again.
Immediately, the red mark reappeared on Xiao Yi's forehead.
At the same time, the aura surrounding Xiao Yi rapidly climbed.
Dou Master, Great Dou Master, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang... The pressure that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had just unleashed was dispersed directly into the air by a mere glance from Xiao Yi.
When the Amethyst Winged Lion King noticed the aura of the human beneath its feet suddenly rising, it didn't pay any attention at first.
It was only when Xiao Yi's aura reached the Dou Huang level and continued to climb that the Lion King finally took it seriously: "A Dou... Dou Zong..."
Seeing Xiao Yi step directly into the air, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice became somewhat shaky at this moment.
More importantly, the aura of the human before it was still climbing!
At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King simply couldn't believe its eyes. Just a moment ago, that human brat on the ground was a mere Dou Master.
Why, in just an instant, had he become a Dou Zong capable of walking through the void!
But it had to be said that the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mind worked very quickly, and it immediately spoke:
"I was blind just now and acted rashly..."
"If Your Excellency wants the purple spirit crystal, you only needed to say so. There was no need for such a large display of force..."
Xiao Yi nodded with extreme satisfaction at the Amethyst Winged Lion King's current behavior, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"Besides the purple spirit crystal, I also require you to protect the Xiao Family of Wutan City for three years!"
