The heroine panicked because she refused to be the villain's bootlicker at the beginning!

Wu Hongling actually subdued the Xuantian Divine Phoenix and even made it follow her and obey her orders.

No one except Gu Yun expected this.

Qin Lan couldn't help but praise

"Sister Hong Ling, you are so amazing. How did you do it?

Bai Hu couldn't help but envy her.

"It is incredible that a semi-saint can have a saint-level beast mount.

Even Lei Haotian laughed and said excitedly:

"You are worthy of being my disciple, you are even more vigorous than I was back then!"

Being praised by everyone, Wu Hongling felt a little embarrassed.

Her face was slightly red, and she said shyly:

"This is all thanks to Master Gu. Without Master Gu, I wouldn't be where I am today."

After saying this, she looked at Gu Yun and asked:

"Master Gu, I will listen to you on how to deal with this Xuantian Divine Phoenix."

Gu Yun laughed and said casually:

"Since it likes you, then you can stay with me, but before that, let it give me some phoenix blood for me to use."

Wu Hongling was also very excited and nodded.

In fact, she also liked the Divine Phoenix, but without Gu Yun's permission, how could she keep a Saint-level beast without authorization?

Just when everyone was very happy, the embarrassed Long Yuer also came to Gu Yun.

She blushed slightly, still pretending to be arrogant, and said:

"Gu Yun, thank you for saving me today"

"But don't worry, I will definitely repay you."

Gu Yun looked at her. Although she was indeed a beauty who could be called a top-notch beauty, her personality was too arrogant, and Gu Yun didn't like her very much.

He said calmly:

"Miss Long, please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to save you, I just happen to need the Mysterious Heavenly Phoenix"

"So, the repayment you mentioned is not necessary."

Long Yu'er was speechless for a moment, and looked at Gu Yun with some resentment. Does he look down on me so much that he doesn't want to have anything to do with me?

She immediately snorted coldly and said arrogantly:

"I don't care. You saved me anyway, so I must repay you. Otherwise, where would I, the eldest daughter of the Long family, put my face?"

Gu Yun sneered and ignored him. Instead, he turned around and left with everyone.

Long Yu'er was left alone.

Long Yu'er stamped her feet in anger and couldn't help looking at the maid Xiao Cui beside her and asked:

"Xiao Cui, I...am I not good-looking?"

"Why is it that in Kyoto, whether it is the young masters of noble families or the martial arts geniuses, they all admire me, but Gu Yun from Jiangnan doesn't even look at me straight in the eye?"

Xiao Cui also smiled helplessly and said:

"The young lady is naturally beautiful, but there is no shortage of beauties around Gu Yun, so I think he may not be interested in women's beauty."

Long Yu'er was helpless.

She also knew that the girls around Gu Yun were not inferior to her in terms of figure, appearance, and temperament.

She wanted to use her own strength and family background to attract Gu Yun's attention.

Unfortunately, she was even inferior to them.

She glanced at Gu Yun's back and said angrily:

"I just don't believe that I can't take him down."

After saying that, she turned and left.

On the other side, Gu Yun had successfully captured the Xuantian Divine Phoenix, and he could then forge the foundation of a saint.

He planned to return to the Jiangnan base first.

And Gu Yaer, who had nowhere to go, naturally followed Gu Yun.

Three days later, Gu Yun and others returned to the Jiangnan base silently. Others didn't even know that the Divine Phoenix they had been looking for had been successfully captured by Gu Yun.

In the secret room of the Gu family, looking at the phoenix blood in his hand filled with strong fluctuations of the fire element.

Gu Yun drank it all without hesitation.

Then, he immediately ran his own martial arts skills and began to forge his body.

As long as he could successfully forge the foundation of a saint, he would be at the peak of a semi-saint, and he would be only one step away from becoming a saint.

……

……

At the same time, a group of masters also gathered at the official office of Jiangnan Base.

As the first official person in charge of Jiangnan Base, Ji Wudao, who has entered the realm of saints for many years and is now a great saint, came out in person to welcome the leaders of all parties.

"Old Ji, long time no see. The last time we met was probably thirty years ago!"

"Hahaha, yes, we haven't seen each other for thirty years."

"I didn't expect that we two old brothers would have a chance to work together. It seems that the Jiangnan base is in big trouble this time."

At this time, there were more than a dozen people gathered here, most of them were in military uniforms, and their cultivation was above that of a saint.

The leader was an old man with gray hair and a goatee.

Everyone who saw him was extremely respectful, even Ji Wudao quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying:

""Old Wei, you are here in person?""

Old Wei, full name Wei Junlin.

He is the highest military leader of the entire nine bases in the south.

His strength is at the peak of the supreme saint.

There are two supreme saints in the nine bases in the south, one is him and the other is Lei Haotian.

But it is rumored that his strength is even higher than Lei Haotian, and there are signs that he has broken through the Tongtian Saint.

Whether in terms of strength or prestige, he is unparalleled in the entire south.

Wei Junlin laughed and looked like a kind old man.

He said casually:

"I also started from Jiangnan Base. Now that Jiangnan Base has something going on, how can I not come?"

"Okay, I think most people have arrived, you can briefly explain the situation to everyone."

Ji Wudao nodded, immediately looked at everyone, and said loudly:

"Everyone, since Mr. Wei has spoken, I will not waste my words."

"According to reliable information, Jiangnan Base is likely to be attacked by an SSS-level beast tide in half a month."

Hearing this, everyone present began to become serious.

In this world where humans and alien beasts coexist, it is not uncommon for human bases to be attacked by beast tides.

But if it can be rated as SSS-level, it is very serious.

SSS is a super natural disaster level. In human history, it has only occurred three times, and they were all encountered by super-large bases that are more than ten times larger than Jiangnan Base.

The results are all very tragic.

Those super-large bases with a population of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions have almost become ruins, becoming history and no longer existing.

And the humans in the base have lost more than 90%.

At present, Jiangnan Base is just an ordinary medium-sized city. If an SSS-level beast tide really occurs, it may not be able to withstand it at all.

But the location of Jiangnan Base is very critical. If it is occupied by alien beasts, the entire south will be like a hole torn open.

The alien beasts will grow and occupy the entire south more unscrupulously.

By that time, it may not only be the Jiangnan Base that will be destroyed, but many bases in the entire south.

The living space of mankind will be further backlogged.

Some people can't help but wonder

"What is the reason that could have caused this catastrophe?"

Ji Wudao looked at the person who asked the question and said decisively:"The Temple is coming!"
