"How dare we do such a thing? The three esteemed sirs can personally inspect the age of the spirit flowers." The small beast was startled and quickly replied.

Meanwhile, the golden-furred giant ape flipped his two hairy hands, and a white light flashed in front of him. The two jade boxes, filled with Wood Spirit Flowers, appeared before him, and he respectfully presented them, holding one in each hand.

The young Sky-Peng clan man took the two jade boxes skeptically and opened them. Immediately, a golden radiance filled their vision, accompanied by a rich floral fragrance.

The three Sky-Peng people were momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.

"Indeed, these are Wood Spirit Flowers over a thousand years old, and their quality is top-notch," the young Sky-Peng clan woman exclaimed excitedly after taking out a flower and examining it closely.

"Excellent. It's rare for you to submit such high-quality spirit flowers this time. What other offerings are missing? Tell me first," the Sky-Peng man, appearing to be in his thirties, asked with a straight face, his earlier delight gone.

Seeing this, the four demons felt relieved, knowing they would likely pass this inspection.

They immediately began taking out offerings one by one, allowing the three Sky-Peng people to carefully count them.

"Hmm, there are slightly fewer Golden Marrow Crystal Worms and Golden Mother Coral Sand, and only half the required amount of Azure Light Wood..." the young Sky-Peng clan man listed the insufficient offerings.

"Alright, not too many things are missing. The extra Wood Spirit Flowers can just about make up for the shortfall. This time, we'll consider your offerings complete. These are the pills to help you suppress your slave marks. Next time we visit, the more Wood Spirit Flowers, the better." The thirty-year-old Sky-Peng clan man nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, four green jade bottles flew out, landing in the hands of the four demons.

The four demons eagerly accepted the small bottles and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

The three Sky-Peng people collected the offerings and, without lingering for a moment, immediately rose and departed. The four minor beasts respectfully escorted them to the gate. Only after witnessing the three Sky-Peng people transform into large birds and fly away did they truly feel relieved and return to their cave to continue discussing their important matters.

Naturally, these demonic beasts did not notice a small golden insect, motionless as if dead, clinging to a corner of the hall, having appeared there at some unknown time.

At the same time, Han Li, concealing his presence, followed closely behind the three large birds, his eyes gleaming.

Earlier, in the minor beast's cave, he had observed the Sky-Peng people collecting the offerings. He estimated they were surely planning to return to the Sky-Peng clan's gathering place.

What he needed to do now was to follow the three Sky-Peng people for a certain distance and find a safe route back to the Tianyuan Continent.

After all, this sea region was vast, and who knew where unknown dangers might be hidden? Han Li had no desire to inadvertently stumble into the territory of some powerful entity.

Moreover, these Flying Spirit race members looked so similar to humans. If he found the Sky-Peng clan's gathering place, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to infiltrate it with his divine abilities to gather intelligence and obtain needed materials and spirit medicines.

Perhaps these alien races possessed many rare treasures like the Golden Marrow Crystal Worms.

After all, the Flying Spirit race was different from humans; the same item could be priceless to humans but merely common to the Flying Spirit race.

Pondering this, Han Li's heart warmed with anticipation. He tracked the three Sky-Peng people even more cautiously. With Han Li's divine abilities, as long as the three did not exceed the hundred-mile range of his spiritual sense, he naturally wouldn't easily lose track of them.

Thus, three birds and one man swiftly traveled along the sea region near the peninsula's edge. After more than two months of flight, Han Li finally saw a black line on the horizon in the distance.

He had finally reached the coastline of the Tianyuan Continent.

By then, the three Sky-Peng people ahead had already flown deep into the land. Adjacent to the sea was a complex terrain of interconnected hills of varying sizes.

Han Li did not dare to delay, swiftly accelerating his escape speed, halving the distance.

But just then, an anomaly suddenly occurred ahead. In front of the three Sky-Peng people, a two-headed giant bird abruptly appeared, accompanied by seven or eight other alien beings, also with wings on their backs.

The moment they appeared, they immediately surrounded the three Sky-Peng people, looking menacing. Han Li's heart tightened, but his movement didn't stop in the slightest. Moments later, he flew to a spot only two hundred zhang away from the incident and quietly halted his escape light.

He saw that the two-headed giant bird was extremely fierce, ten zhang long. One head resembled a tiger's, while the other was a dragon's. Its feathers were strikingly multicolored, appearing unusually vibrant. The seven or eight winged beings also had ferocious appearances, their wings not only larger than those of the three Sky-Peng clan members but also blazing crimson like fiery wings.

The three Sky-Peng people instantly reverted to human form, standing side by side with solemn expressions.

"Tian Ming, what is the meaning of this? This is our Sky-Peng clan's territory. Why are you, the Scarlet Flame clan, here, and blocking our path? Are you not afraid of the Ten Precepts' punishment?" the Sky-Peng clan man, over thirty years old, sternly rebuked a large man among the surrounding group.

This big man wore a red robe, was tall, and had no hair on his head.

"Heh heh, since we're here, we naturally aren't afraid of any Ten Precepts. Obediently hand over everything you have and pledge allegiance to our Scarlet Flame clan; perhaps we might let you off the hook," the big man sneered.

"What do you mean?" Feng Xiao's expression changed dramatically, but then quickly returned to normal.

"Brother Feng Xiao, why bother concealing it? It's naturally those Wood Spirit Flowers," the bald big man said sinisterly. "How could we three possibly carry such rare items as Wood Spirit Flowers? Tian Ming, are you not thinking clearly?" the Sky-Peng man denied flatly. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. This lord will search you all later. Oh, I forgot to tell you. The last Holy Master of your Sky-Peng clan, who possessed true Kun Peng blood, was besieged by three ferocious beasts that escaped from the Abyssal Core four months ago and has already fallen. It's only a matter of time before the Sky-Peng clan is removed from the Flying Spirit race list," the big man said with a wild laugh.

Upon hearing this, the three Sky-Peng clan members were greatly shocked.

"Nonsense! How powerful is the Kun Peng Holy Master? Even if he couldn't defeat them, how could he be stopped by three ferocious beasts if he wanted to leave?" The young Sky-Peng clan man clearly didn't believe it.

"Heh heh, if it were just ferocious beasts, they certainly couldn't stop the Kun Peng Holy Master. But what if he had already suffered severe injuries, and both his wings were badly damaged, making it impossible to transform and fly?" The bald big man unfolded the fiery wings on his back and spoke with ill intent.

"Do you think we'll believe you just by saying that? Enough nonsense. Even if you talk until flowers fall from the sky, don't dream that the three of us will hand anything over to you." The Sky-Peng clan man, over thirty years old, became resolute, replying coldly.

The other young man and woman also had lightning flashing around them, clearly showing no intention of compromising. Seeing this, the bald big man of the Scarlet Flame clan snorted, and a fierce glint flickered in his eyes.

He was also a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, while the others were all early-Nascent Soul stage. Plus, that two-headed giant bird—in terms of power, they clearly surpassed the three Sky-Peng clan members several times over. However, if the Sky-Peng people were determined to escape, the Scarlet Flame clan had no certainty of capturing all three of them.

After all, the Scarlet Flame clan was not known for its escape speed. If they pursued opponents of the same rank, they would likely be outrun. However, since the big man had led his team to ambush them here, he had naturally already considered this point.

A cruel expression flashed across his face, and the big man waved his hand.

The other Scarlet Flame clan members flipped their hands, and light-blue short tubes immediately appeared in their grip. They simultaneously aimed them behind themselves.

After a few 'thump-thump' sounds, clusters of blue light spheres shot out.

"No good! It's the Demon-Ensnaring Cylinders! Flee!" The elder Sky-Peng clan man exclaimed, losing his voice upon seeing this scene. Without a word, he shook his wings, and his entire body instantly transformed into a silver arc, shooting out.

The other two also changed color upon hearing this and followed closely with a thunderous roar.

But it was already too late.

The several blue light spheres around them suddenly burst open, transforming into large blue nets that rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, all the nets interconnected and merged, sealing off several hundred zhang of space, forming a massive cage.

By the time the cage formed, the three streaks of lightning had barely failed to escape beyond the net.

As the lightning dissipated, the three Sky-Peng people reappeared, all with pale faces.

"Although it's only the lowest-grade Demon-Binding Net, it's enough to hold you for a while. Feng Xiao, do you really think you'll have enough time to tear open this net while we're attacking? It's better to surrender obediently. I'm telling you one last time; if you don't agree, don't blame me for disregarding our past acquaintance," the bald big man said, overjoyed to see the Demon-Binding Net had unexpectedly ensnared the three Sky-Peng people.

"Let's combine our strength and quickly break through this Demon-Binding Net!" Feng Xiao completely ignored the big man and, with an expressionless face, instructed his two companions. Immediately, he rubbed his hands together, then thrust them forward, sending out two thick electric arcs that shot directly towards the colossal blue net in front of them.

The young Sky-Peng clan man and woman also opened their mouths without a word, each spouting a bowl-sized electric arc, joining the attack.

Immediately, with several thunderous roars, blue and silver light interwoven and flickered on the net, causing the entire Demon-Ensnaring Net to tremble.

The bald big man, Tian Ming, saw this and exploded with rage, immediately roaring, "Attack! Leave no one alive!"

Then, he rolled in the air, instantly transforming into a red bird several zhang long. With a flap of its wings, flames billowed forth, shooting directly towards the three Sky-Peng people in the air.

The other Scarlet Flame clan members also cast their spells and transformed, turning into fiery birds to join the assault.

As a result, the three Sky-Peng people temporarily couldn't focus on attacking the Demon-Ensnaring Net. They too transformed into silver birds, spewing lightning as they met their enemies.

For a time, flames billowed in the air, thunder roared and flashed wildly, and the surrounding atmosphere became oppressively hot.

Only the two-headed giant bird remained proudly stationary.

Han Li let out a soft sigh, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

At this moment, he, too, was unexpectedly enveloped within the Demon-Binding Net.
