Li An’s eyebrows slightly knitted together.

He noticed that although the gray giant lizard seemed nailed down, it still harbored a final counterattack force. Anyone below the Harmonization Level would either die or be severely injured if they went up against it.

Yet Chen Ning and Song Wujing appeared exhausted, but not to the extent of being unable to kill the gray giant lizard.

Were they deliberately sending Li An to his death?

Li An wasn’t afraid of the gray giant lizard, but exposing his true strength for self-preservation would be undesirable then...

He hesitated for a moment and said, "With my strength, I’m afraid it’s not doable..."

"Hah, as an elder of Evergreen Peak, you don’t even dare to kill a mysterious creature that’s already subdued?"

Song Wujing’s eyes showed extreme contempt, "Even someone as useless and cowardly as you dared to oppose my father?!"

"If it weren’t for Xiang Yuntian, trash like you wouldn’t even qualify to be a formal disciple, let alone an elder!"

There was no hint of disguised contempt.

Li An remained silent, then sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll kill it, I’ll kill it."

He immediately stepped forward.

Chen Ning’s eyes showed a hint of a smile.

On the way here, Song Qingsong had instructed her to find an opportunity to obtain the Evergreen Immortal Skill from Li An!

Although Sect Leader Su Yebai had said that the Immortal Skill on Li An was unlikely to be complete, and at most contained some fragmented techniques, it was at least of great origin and extremely valuable.

That’s why Chen Ning was sending Li An to his death.

Once he was severely injured, they would rescue him, leaving only his Primordial Spirit, and slowly torture and interrogate him until they got the Evergreen Immortal Skill. Then they could kill Li An, claiming a failed rescue effort—who could argue?

But just as Li An reached the gray giant lizard, ready to make a move, a voice came from the void: "If you don’t want to die, get lost－－"

Everyone turned around suddenly, only to see three Harmonization Level masters had already appeared on the scene.

These three were geniuses from the Five Elements Sect.

Qin Fen, Qin Yuan, Qin Dao!

The three brothers.

They had arrived.

"What do you mean by this? This mysterious creature has already been taken down by our Dao Sect!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Li An declared righteously.

In truth, he precisely sensed their arrival and hence stepped forward... after all, the Qin brothers would never allow the Dao Sect to kill the mysterious creature.

"Whoever kills the mysterious creature becomes the master of Nanfu Island, and this mysterious creature isn’t dead yet."

Qin Fen smiled slightly, "Thank you, friends from the Dao Sect, I will be the one to kill it."

With that, he already took a step towards the gray giant lizard.

"How dare you!"

Beside him, Song Wujing immediately exploded in anger and swiftly moved to stop him.

Chen Ning saw the number on the opposing side and feared her son would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly stepped forward, triggering a fierce battle.

Li An also pretended to fight desperately, but was knocked out of the valley by a single move from Qin Yuan. His eyes showed a mocking look, "Such a loser can be an elder in the Dao Sect? Not even as good as a dog I raised!"

Li An fell into the woods, his face pale, while observing the battlefield. His Divine Sense already spread out, confirming that no one else was watching, and he suddenly vanished into the void.

In the next moment, on a nearby cliff.

A large gray eagle was hidden on a rock, watching the battlefield scenes from afar. With the battle’s shockwaves constantly shaking the mountain peaks and rocks rolling down, the gray eagle remained motionless.

It was waiting!

Suddenly, as if sensing something extremely terrifying, this Harmonization Level mysterious creature bristled, quickly turning its head but not daring to move, its body rigid!

In the void behind it, a vague gray silhouette seemed to appear.

"My lord... my lord..."

In the gray eagle’s Divine Sense, there was pure fear and dread, an instinctive reaction of a lower being facing a higher one, like a suppression of bloodline.

The gray eagle and the gray giant lizard, although they had absorbed countless anomalous qi and grew in such environments, couldn’t be considered true mysterious creatures.

They could only be said to be highly mutated!

So when faced with someone like Li An, they didn’t even have the thought of resisting.

"Help me with something..."

Using Divine Sense to transmit the message, Li An, to the Harmonization Level gray eagle, was like a chick, nodding incessantly.

Then Li An’s figure disappeared from the void.

The next moment, he reappeared in the valley, trying hard to ambush Qin Yuan, but Qin Yuan turned and pointed at him again, and Li An flew backward once more.

This time, he pretended to faint directly!

The battle in the valley continued, with the Qin brothers being geniuses, and on the Dao Sect’s side, Chen Ning was not particularly talented, merely an average Harmonization expert, almost single-handedly relying on Song Wujing.

It must be said, Song Qingsong’s efforts did not go to waste, as Song Wujing’s talent was strong, his blood seemingly burning, barely holding his own.

This was also the reason Song Qingsong dared to take on this task; strength begets confidence, and if Song Wujing was not strong enough, he wouldn’t dare either.

"Ah－－"

Suddenly, Chen Ning was directly struck and sent flying by Qin Fen!

Song Wujing was in a bitter battle, unable to pay attention, but at that moment, a massive gray shadow suddenly swept by, it was a gray eagle, emerging from the void, grabbing Chen Ning and turning away, disappearing－－

"Mother－－"

Seeing this, Song Wujing panicked.

Being defeated by the Qin brothers might not threaten their lives, but being captured by a mysterious creature...

"Let go of my mother!"

Song Wujing ignored the battle in the valley and directly chased the gray eagle.

"Another Harmonization Level mysterious creature?!"

In the valley, the Qin brothers were equally surprised.

"No, that gray eagle was the original Harmonization Level mysterious creature on the island; this giant lizard appeared later!"
