"I come to assist you!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang arrived just in time, sending out a bolt of lightning at the Fire Phoenix.

He blocked an attack for Master Wang He, while another fire attack from the Red Gold Phoenix was countered by two Thunder Shields cast by Master Wang He, allowing him to dodge to the side.

Master Wang He was drenched in cold sweat; though it seemed quick, the danger he faced was extremely terrifying.

Seeing that she didn't successfully heavily injure Master Wang He, Master Li did not continue attacking. Standing on the back of the Red Gold Phoenix, she looked at Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He with a faint smile.

"Well done!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang unleashed lightning four times in succession, finally extinguishing the Fire Phoenix. He had already entered the state of Nascent Soul Dharma Form by the time he cast the second lightning.

He was also accidentally shocked by the powerful combat power of Master Li and dared not take her lightly anymore.

Master Wang He also displayed his Nascent Soul Dharma Form, standing beside the Nascent Soul Dharma Form of Great Cultivator Duan Zhang.

They had no intention of fighting Master Li alone. Before them stood a female cultivator from Luanyang Palace, and with Master Li's Spiritual Pet Red Gold Phoenix at fourth-grade high-stage, together they had the combat power of two Great Cultivators.

If they truly wanted to battle Master Li alone, they would face a two against one scenario.

The problem was that Master Li already possessed the peak strength of a Great Cultivator; in cultivation alone, she matched them, and adding the equally similar realm of the Red Gold Phoenix, any one of them would be at a disadvantage.

Even teaming up as Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He, they had no certainty of victory.

The Red Gold Phoenix, especially as a fourth-grade high-stage Red Gold Phoenix, with top-tier phoenix bloodline, is an extremely formidable creature to contend with.

"Mr. Li, there is no need for us to battle to the death. We have no deep grudge with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, merely some conflicts among juniors!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang said, his eyes flashing.

At this moment, after truly witnessing Master Li's strength, he did not want to battle her.

This does not mean he believes that teaming up with Master Wang He would necessarily be unable to defeat Master Li, but here on the Dongqi Continent, if they truly got injured here, the Great Cultivators of the four main sects of Dongqi Continent would absolutely not miss this opportunity.

Moreover, those hostile sect cultivators hiding in the shadows were also waiting for the two to make a mistake. As long as they showed weakness, the hostile sect cultivators in the shadows would certainly pounce like wolves.

"My task here is to protect the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. As long as you don't come to the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the rest is none of my concern!" Master Li said indifferently.

She truly wouldn't involve herself in the conflict between the four local sects and the Yuqing Sect. If it weren't for Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He attacking the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, she couldn't be bothered to appear.

Previously, her presence within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had not been disclosed, precisely to avoid trouble.

If the other three major sects knew she was here, she feared being dragged into a conflict with the Yuqing Sect.

At this time, Grandmaster Hu also arrived in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and seeing that both sides had not engaged in combat, his heart couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Master Li confronting Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He, whether defeated or victorious, would be beneficial to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

A victory needs no explanation; if Master Li were defeated, then Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He would offend Luanyang Palace.

Though Luanyang Palace may seem like a gathering place for female cultivators, once provoked, one would realize how terrifying these female cultivators could become.

The influence Luanyang Palace could wield would absolutely be challenging for the Yuqing Sect to handle.

Yet, despite his disappointment, Grandmaster Hu remained silent, standing constrainedly behind Master Li.

"Since Mr. Li is here, we will give face and leave!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang, decisively said without hesitation after hearing Master Li's intentions.

He nodded to Master Wang He, and the two Great Cultivators swiftly turned and left, transforming into two rays of lightning retreating into the distance.

"The Yuqing Sect is indeed formidable!" Master Li softly exclaimed after Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Master Wang He left.

Even though the earlier combat ended with just a light exchange, both she and the two Great Cultivators from the Yuqing Sect had gone all out, displaying their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, utilizing all the power they could muster.

Being a female cultivator, Master Li had no reservations in battle, leveraging her early entry into the Thirty-Three Heavens to employ Nascent Soul Dharma Form along with the Red Gold Phoenix, aiming to grievously injure Master Wang He.

Yet Master Wang He, along with the timely arriving Great Cultivator Duan Zhang, managed to completely fend off her and the Red Gold Phoenix's full assault without any cost.

In her judgment, if they were truly to decide a victor, it would likely require a hefty price from both sides.

She was there to aid but did not wish to bear the brunt of the main battle between the Yuqing Sect and the four major local sects.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Li, for your assistance!" Grandmaster Hu bowed in gratitude.

"The tasks assigned to me by Luanyang Palace are completed. I will stay a few more days before leaving!" Master Li said, waving her hand.

Grandmaster Hu did not persuade her to stay; her appearance at the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and engagement in battle had already illustrated the stance of Luanyang Palace.
