The Mysterious Beast

As Huang Xiaolong and the group traveled through the forest, they encountered a group of cultivators from a neighboring kingdom. The leader of the group introduced himself as Zhang Wei, a peak mid-Third Order God Realm cultivator.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Wei informed Huang Xiaolong that the forest ahead was home to a powerful beast. He warned Huang Xiaolong and his companions not to enter the forest as they would be risking their lives.

However, Huang Xiaolong was not one to back down from a challenge. He thanked Zhang Wei for the warning but declared that he and his companions would still proceed into the forest.

As they entered the forest, they could feel the air becoming denser, and the atmosphere grew heavy with the presence of danger. Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the forest, and a massive beast emerged from the trees.

The beast was unlike anything Huang Xiaolong had ever seen. It stood over ten meters tall and was covered in shimmering scales that reflected the sunlight. Its eyes were a deep red, and its breaths came out in hot puffs of smoke.

The group quickly sprang into action, ready to take on the beast. However, they quickly realized that it was much stronger than they had anticipated. Its scales were impenetrable, and its attacks were swift and powerful.

Huang Xiaolong summoned his divine dragon to aid in the battle, and together, they managed to hold off the beast. But as the battle continued, they could see that the beast was growing even stronger.

Just as all seemed lost, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a beautiful woman with long flowing hair and a slender figure. She approached the group and informed them that she was a disciple of a powerful sect known as the Divine Phoenix Sect.

The woman revealed that the beast was known as the Phoenix Beast and was one of the guardians of the Divine Phoenix Sect's sacred grounds. She offered to help Huang Xiaolong and his companions defeat the beast but warned them that they would need to work together if they had any hope of victory.

With the woman's help, Huang Xiaolong and his companions managed to defeat the Phoenix Beast. As the beast fell to the ground, it let out a final roar before disintegrating into a cloud of smoke.

Huang Xiaolong and his companions were exhausted but relieved that the battle was over. The woman from the Divine Phoenix Sect introduced herself as Li Yueran and offered to guide them to their next destination.

Huang Xiaolong and his companions gratefully accepted her offer, and together, they continued on their journey.
