The So-Called Sky Serpent Mansion- How Much Face Do They Really Have?

The colossal forms of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor collided repeatedly, with bursts of light and terrifying roars reverberating through the sky as waves of energy spread wildly.

"What's this?"

In a part of the sky over the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Yun, who had not yet returned to the imperial capital and was traveling separately from Gu He and the others, suddenly halted.

Her hood had been removed, revealing a face as delicate as a lotus flower. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she gazed toward the distant sky.

She had also sensed the energy fluctuations, and a strange emotion in her heart urged Yun Yun to head in that direction.

Lu Man had a gentle face that inspired pity, but beneath that exterior, her thoughts ran deep. She had realized that Gu Fei was not someone to be trifled with, but since she had assistance, why should she fear a mere teenager?

Seeing that Lu Man was still being obstinate, Gu Fei, usually mild-mannered, began to feel anger.

"I've already given you a chance. You brought this on yourself. Since you refuse to leave, don't regret it later!"

Lu Man blinked, her figure spinning gracefully as she attempted to bypass Gu Fei. One of her jade-like hands reached out to grab Qing Lin, who was hiding behind him.

Qing Lin was startled by Lu Man's sudden move, clutching Gu Fei's sleeve even tighter. She wasn't really scared. After all, brother Gu Fei had always been able to protect her, and she was confident he would keep her safe now as well. Gu Fei, with a swift motion, held Qing Lin by the waist and easily evaded Lü Man.

Seeing that the Lion King was struggling, Gu Fei raised his hand, releasing a burst of energy. The serpent didn't notice the energy until it already hit its side, too late to dodge.

The serpent let out a pained roar, its gaze fixed on Gu Fei with intense fear. Under the shattered scales of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, terrifying wounds, visible to the naked eye, spread out, covering almost its entire back. Blood poured from its black body like rain, falling continuously to the ground, creating a gruesome sight. Its intelligent eyes were filled with dread as it stared at Gu Fei.

At this moment, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was barely holding its ground due to its extraordinary speed and its overly tough body. Seeing the wretched and pitiful state of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Lu Man's heart sank into despair, her face turning pale.

What kind of existence had she provoked? With a casual flick, Gu Fei had gravely injured the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

"Senior, please spare me! It was my ignorance that offended you, Senior! I'll take the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and leave at once. Please forgive us!"

Immediately, Lü Man lowered her stance and pleaded for Gu Fei's forgiveness.

She glanced at Gu Fei, and seeing his expressionless face, her breath quickened in fear.

Lü Man then began to explain herself in every possible way.

"Senior, I truly mean no harm! I only wish to take this little girl, Qing Lin, back with me to properly nurture her. With her Triple Jade Snake Flower Pupils, she's incredibly suited to train at my Sky Serpent Mansion. We would provide her with the best resources!"

Lu Man continued, carefully glancing at Gu Fei, her once sweet and gentle face now filled with nothing but fear.

Nearby, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor also landed early, standing behind Lü Man in a pathetic state. Now, the serpent's once-hard scales were mostly shattered. From the ground, one could faintly see those ghastly white bones. The giant triangular eyes of the serpent were filled with utter terror.

Despite its injuries, it nodded repeatedly in agreement with Lu Man's words, also pleading with Gu Fei for mercy.

Gu Fei's calm gaze fell on Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, carrying an immense pressure.

"I'm aware of that. Otherwise, neither of you would still be standing here."

Gu Fei's voice was calm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she continued, "Senior, please, in consideration of the Sky Serpent Mansion, spare us."

At this moment, both Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor no longer saw Gu Fei as a mere teenager.

They only assumed that Gu Fei was a senior expert who had maintained his youthful appearance.

As such, they didn't dare make any further moves, hoping that Gu Fei would let them go out of respect for the Sky Serpent Mansion.

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, a slight sneer on his lips, his eyes turning cold.

"Sky Serpent Mansion? That so-called Sky Serpent Mansion holds no sway with me!"

When Lu Man mentioned the Sky Serpent Mansion, Gu Fei showed no regard for it. With his status, even the Mansion Lord would greet him with respect.

Lu Man's heart leaped, and a strong premonition of danger made her scalp tingle, causing her to instinctively step back.

In the next moment, Gu Fei waved his sleeve, sending a burst of energy at Lu Man, striking her with such speed that it was imperceptible.

"Boom!"

Lu Man's right arm exploded into a mist of blood.

"Ah!"

She clutched her bleeding stump, letting out a piercing scream, drenched in cold sweat.

No longer composed and aloof as she was at the beginning, her once immaculate gown was now sullied, stained with blood.

"This is a small lesson for offending me. If there's a next time, I'll wipe out your Sky Serpent Mansion!"

Gu Fei's voice was cold.

Though she had lost an arm, she didn't dare harbor any resentment, only feeling fortunate to have escaped with her life.

She was also deeply shocked, wondering who Gu Fei really was to completely disregard even the Sky Serpent Mansion!

Lu Man trembled as she bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"

Hearing Gu Fei's indifferent response, Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor dared not linger. They limped away, their speed slower than when they arrived but still swift, fearing that Gu Fei might change his mind and kill them.

Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin were both safely behind Gu Fei, unharmed.

"Brother Gu Fei, with you here, I feel that no matter what danger we face, we'll always make it through!" Little Fairy Doctor suddenly couldn't help but hug Gu Fei's arm.
