After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

"""

Back mountain, under the Parasol Tree.

Shangguan He was tidying up.

"What do you clean every day?" At this moment, a Fire Phoenix perched on the Parasol Tree spread its wings and asked.

"This way, it looks like I have something to do, otherwise I'm afraid they'll notice I'm too idle." Shangguan He looked up at the Fire Phoenix and said.

"They never come here." The Fire Phoenix said disdainfully:

"I've almost recovered; if they came, they might not be a match for me."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan He congratulated, "Senior, you are a peerless talent and surely not afraid of the Cangmu Sect, but my wife and I still have some worries.

Besides..."

When they arrived, their cultivation couldn't open a gap with others.

But as some Dao Essence fell on the back mountain, he noticed there were signs of a breakthrough.

Perhaps soon, he could attempt to take that step.

Originally thought that in this lifetime, there was no hope.

Who could know that this back mountain.....

Is somewhat unbelievable.

As to why, he couldn't tell.

The Fire Phoenix Clan's good recovery was also thanks to that unknown Dao Essence in the back mountain.

On the Parasol Tree, the Fire Phoenix calmly said: "I want to charge out; do you want to join?"

"No." Shangguan He shook his head.

"Everyone has their own aspirations; then let's meet again if fate allows." Saying this, the Fire Phoenix flattered its wings.

Then flew towards the sky, aiming to soar to the nine heavens; once successful, then the sky would be the limit.

Shangguan He looked up at the departing Fire Phoenix, feeling it was free.

As for him, he was afraid he would never be free.

He had to stay here.

Continuing as a caretaker.

After all, there were other weaker Fire Phoenixes here.

Sighing slightly, he decided to turn his gaze away.

But before he could retract his gaze, a Sword Intent slashed across the sky.

Mysteriously, a blaze ignited in the sky.

Then, with a crunching sound, a wingless firebird heavily fell to the ground.

Soon after, a pondering voice came from the sky: "Without wings, it can't be the Guardian Sect Beast, right? How about eat it?"

"Not too good; reported to the Sect Master, eating it now requires an explanation; will you go?" another voice came.

"Then wait a bit, what if it dies?"

"Makes sense, we'll come back in a few days to check; what if it wilts and languishes?"

"It's too pitiful..."

"Junior sister is right, for a Divine Beast, being heavily injured is truly pitiful; then we send it away, ending its miserable bird life, so we can explain to the Sect Master." A smile sounded.

After that, the conversation ceased.

Shangguan He swallowed in fear.

At this time, he saw the Fire Phoenix lying on the ground shiver all over.

The previously damaged body trembled more, struggling to get up.

As if to show it was alright.

A mere fatal wound could soon recover.

Shangguan He couldn't bear it, finally returning it to the Parasol Tree, hoping it could recover.

Otherwise…..

Fear it might never recover.

Shangguan He comforted, "Senior, don't worry; the Parasol Tree can help you heal; this place is a treasure, restoration is possible."

The Fire Phoenix was silent for a moment then said: "I underestimated the Cangmu Sect."

Shangguan He was silent.

You've underestimated before.

Once more, you might not have another chance.

"Someone is approaching here." Suddenly, another Fire Phoenix on the Parasol Tree spoke.

The injured Fire Phoenix calmly said: "Any of you could handle them, but they have the Sealing Artifact's support, likely having considerable attack and escape capabilities.

Use the True Fire Locking Array, first trap them, then it becomes simple for you.

I need to heal."

"Thank you, Senior; I'll have my wife find some Spiritual Medicine, which should help Senior." Shangguan He said.

The Fire Phoenix expressed gratitude, then a power descended on him, and for a moment, another person appeared in his perception.

It was a short male, stealthily coming under the cover of shadows.

With just a glance, he knew the other's origin.

Someone from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage.

Moreover, boosted by the Night Demon Body, enhancing attack power while concealing in the dark.

Coming and going freely.

Of course, coming here didn't surprise him.

After all, the Guardian Sect Beast was here, not being found by those in the Great Hall was reasonable.

Unless he could break through here, then he might be noticed by those in the Great Hall.

"Such a strong one coming, probably aiming for me." Shangguan He sighed, "Furthermore, anyone casually has such cultivation, fear that the leader has already taken that step.

The Heavenly Maiden Lineage is serious.

Otherwise, to deal with a betrayer like me, why such a commotion?"

Soon, the Fire Phoenix's power secretly surged.

But Shangguan He's cultivation was insufficient, unable to notice.

Yet soon he had Fire Phoenix's power merge into his body.

Allowing him to see the Array clearly.

Soon, that figure stepped into the Array.

At this moment, Shangguan He could confirm, the other had entered without exit.

Moments later, the short man noticed Shangguan He.

Confirming no powerful entities were around, he released his Qi, sealing the surrounding space.

Ensuring no one could escape, only then did he emerge from the darkness.

Shangguan He could only pretend unawareness, continuing to clean.

"Shangguan He?" the short man looked at Shangguan He sweeping and spoke.

The latter slightly raised his brow, looked at him, and sighed: "Elder Huo."

The other had a cultivation a realm higher than him, now just the same.

But the other was infused with the Night Demon Body; he was surely no match.

Calling him elder was reasonable.

"As a traitor, you should've foreseen this day long ago; since I'm here, you have no way out." Elder Huo looked at Shangguan He and continued: "Tell me everything you know, I'll give you a quick end, otherwise, you understand what you'll face."
