At that moment, the Golden Roc Ancestor was completely stunned. He then stared at Luo Xiu as if he were looking at a brain-damaged idiot. He truly hadn't expected that Luo Xiu would not only forgo taking advantage of his vulnerability but would even help him complete the blood sacrifice.

After Master Ping had thrashed him with a Manifestation Dao Body, he had grown desperate to quickly complete the blood sacrifice and refine the Lei Luan's corpse to its most perfect state. As long as he could successfully refine the Lei Luan's corpse, he was confident he could crush the Tai'a Divine Bottle!

"Boy, you're the one who gave me this chance. Don't you dare regret it!"

Luo Xiu just smiled faintly and asked, "Are there enough people? If not, I can help you catch more."

The Golden Roc Ancestor was speechless. He was completely baffled by Luo Xiu's perplexing behavior.

Could it be that this boy heard of my former reputation, understood what a hero I was, and now admires me so much he wants to curry my favor? Hmm... On second thought, this boy is powerful, nearly as strong as I was in my prime. Keeping him around will certainly be useful. Since he admires me so much, I might as well take him as a War Slave.

Of course, Luo Xiu had no idea what the Golden Roc Ancestor was thinking. All Luo Xiu wanted was for the Golden Roc Ancestor to hurry up and finish refining the Lei Luan's corpse.

After throwing Zhu Yu over, Luo Xiu set his sights on the Upper Realm Cultivators.

When Luo Xiu's gaze fell upon them, the legs of the Upper Realm Cultivators went weak, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Even when facing the Golden Roc Ancestor, they had never been this terrified. In their eyes, Luo Xiu was a devil incarnate.

"Great… great hero, spare our lives!"

"We… we never meant to steal your things! Hong Shizhang forced us to!" one of the Upper Realm Cultivators pleaded on his knees, his voice choked with sobs.

Luo Xiu walked over at a leisurely pace and said indifferently, "You could have done nothing. You could have remained indifferent, as people often do. At least indifference is better than making a mistake born from greed. And since you've made your mistake, you will now face my indifference."

Just a moment later, Luo Xiu grabbed the screaming Upper Realm Cultivators and threw them toward the Golden Roc Ancestor.

Luo Qingxian simply watched from a distance, her face expressionless. She did nothing, for she too was indifferent.

As for the Golden Roc Ancestor, he naturally welcomed all comers. With such good fortune landing in his lap, he certainly wasn't going to miss it.

"Boy, well done! I've just considered the matter carefully. I will accept you as my War Slave. From now on, you shall follow me and traverse the heavens and earth!"

Luo Xiu merely smiled faintly at these words and said nothing.

Just then, Hong Shizhang let out an enraged roar as two Dao Jades materialized in The Void behind him. Luo Xiu looked up and saw one of the Dao Jades was cracking, a terrifying aura seeping out from the fissures.

Master Ping's voice echoed in Luo Xiu's mind, "He's trying to self-destruct his Dao Jade! Boy, take cover!"

Without a word, Luo Xiu instantly teleported to Luo Qingxian's side, shielding her behind him.

The Golden Roc Ancestor, of course, knew what horrendous destructive power the self-destruction of a Dao Jade would unleash, and he grew panicked. For the Golden Roc Ancestor, who now lacked a Taoist Body, this was a terrifyingly destructive force.

"Old fellow, stop! I can let you go!"

Hong Shizhang's skin was as red as blood, his eyes bulged with fury, and his face was twisted in a snarl.

"Release me and my disciple! Otherwise, even if I die, I'll make sure you pay dearly!"

"Fine, fine, fine! I'll release them! I'll release them!"

Having no other choice, the Golden Roc Ancestor had to release Hong Shizhang and his disciple, Zhu Yu. Once freed, Hong Shizhang flew away with the unconscious Zhu Yu. Before leaving, he viciously hurled a threat at Luo Xiu.

"Boy, for the humiliation of your sneak attack today, I swear I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"

Luo Xiu replied with a faint smile, "If we meet again, my humiliation of you will be a hundred times greater."

"We'll see about that!"

Watching Hong Shizhang flee with Zhu Yu, Luo Xiu made no move to pursue them, and neither did Master Ping. A cornered rabbit will bite, after all. Hong Shizhang was ready to risk it all and could self-destruct his Dao Jade at any moment, so there was no point in chasing him under such circumstances. Besides, they still had to deal with the Golden Roc Ancestor and couldn't afford to waste their strength chasing Hong Shizhang.

「Within the Golden Roc Nest.」

Luo Xiu told Luo Qingxian to back away before approaching the Golden Roc Ancestor.

"Those two minnows got away. Are these people enough for you to complete the blood sacrifice?"

The Golden Roc Ancestor laughed. "Rest easy, boy. These people are more than enough. In fact, we only need one more person to complete the blood sacrifice. This Lei Luan corpse, while not as good as my Golden Roc Dao Body, is the best option available. If it's refined properly, I'll be able to wield at least eighty percent of my peak strength."

"Very good," Luo Xiu said, nodding in satisfaction.

The Golden Roc Ancestor said with contentment, "I have received your kind intentions. It is evident you are truly sincere. From now on, you shall follow me."

Luo Xiu suddenly said, "I'll be taking that Golden Roc Inverse Feather."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Roc Ancestor's tone changed. He replied without hesitation, "I can give you other treasures, but not the Inverse Feather."

Luo Xiu, however, said, "I think you misunderstand. I'm not asking for your permission. I am simply informing you."

With that, Luo Xiu walked directly toward the Golden Roc Inverse Feather. "Actually, I'm no different from those Upper Realm rabble. I also enjoy taking things. The only difference is, I'm much stronger than they are."

"Boy, you're courting death!" the Golden Roc Ancestor roared furiously, his body erupting with violent thunder.

But in the next instant, Master Ping appeared. Numerous Dao Law God Chains shot out from the mouth of the bottle, instantly wrapping tightly around the Golden Roc Ancestor.

"Jin Peng, today you die!"
