Chapter 4901: Hiding

Yue'er didn't take Xiao Junheng's suspicions here entirely to heart. So by now, she had already returned to the very cave entrance where she had first hidden and was lying low.

The divine beast-level lion crouched beside her. Both human and beast peered out through the trees covering the cave entrance.

"Master, will they find us here?" The lion sounded uneasy. After all, the Xiao family had already dispatched search parties. Even if the younger generation hadn't located them, their elders would surely come hunting for it.

"I don't know. If they come, we'll hide." Yue'er replied, then paused before calling out, "Little Fox."

At her call, a small white fox appeared before her. It glanced at the lion before turning its gaze to Yue'er and responding, "Master."

"How's your spirit energy recovering? How much longer until you're back to normal?" Yue'er felt a flicker of anxiety. After all, she too feared being captured by the Xiao family.

"Master, it'll likely take at least ten days to half a month," the little fox replied.

"Would the medicinal pills I gave you help? The ones Mother gave me—should I give you one?" she asked.

The little fox shook its head, replying helplessly, "Those medicinal pills are incredibly potent, but they're not quite suited to my current condition. If this place didn't have protective barriers and formations, perhaps drinking some spiritual elixir could help me recover. However, this is a floating immortal island, protected by barriers and formations set up by the Great Emperor. If I can't guarantee we'll get out safely, we'll inevitably be captured, so..."

It dared not take that risk. Heaven knew it already regretted bringing its young master out of Yunxiao Mountain. If anything truly happened to her, it would be guilty of a crime deserving death.

Ten days? Half a month?

Yue'er gritted her teeth. "Fine. I'll endure ten days or half a month. Remember to tell me the moment you're recovered." After instructing the little fox, she stored it back in her spatial pouch and took out another fruit to munch on.

Meanwhile, at the Phoenix Sovereign's floating immortal island, numerous Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders had gathered.

Ever since learning that the Great Emperor Northern Flame had been slain by this Empress, who had simultaneously seized his domain, they'd steeled themselves to pay their respects. Yet, despite multiple attempts, they'd been denied entry each time, never even catching a glimpse of the Empress herself.

After yet another rejection, groups of immortals retreated, murmuring sighs. One remarked, "No one came to congratulate her when she ascended. Now we seek an audience, yet even after three attempts, we remain unseen."

"Indeed, how we regret our earlier indifference!" sighed another, his face equally resigned. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel_fіre.net

Meanwhile, Feng Jiu was not on the Immortal Isle either. After settling the three people she had brought back—Song Mi'er, Tie Song, and Yueniang—she departed alone, intending to visit the immortal isles of the other great emperors to assess the situation.

Though she suspected the other three Emperors wouldn't dare remain on their islands after the incident involving the Great Emperor Northern Flame, she still intended to make the journey. Even if she didn't encounter them, she would unleash a thunderous strike upon their islands to demonstrate her might.

It would also make them understand that she was always plotting to take their lives!

What she hadn't anticipated, however, was that they too had become vigilant. When she arrived outside one of the Great Emperors' immortal islands, she found its protective barrier array exceptionally powerful. Moreover, within the barrier, an ancient counterattack formation had been set up.
