夫妻本是同林鸟，大难临头各自飞，然而在残酷的修仙世界也并非是没有人间真情。为了让爱妻逃走，云峰不惜以血肉饲养蛛魂，而妙幽仙子也没有选择独活，出传音符后便回去寻找丈夫。
Couple birds in the same forest, when disaster strikes, each flies away. Yet, there is still human affection in this harsh cultivation world. To save his beloved wife, Yunfeng was willing to feed spider souls with his flesh and blood. Miao Youxian did not choose to live alone either; after sending out a sound transmission talisman, she returned to look for her husband.
kě xī hái shì wǎn le 。
可惜还是晚了。
Unfortunately, it was too late.
tā gāng gāng fēi chū bù guò shù lǐ ， jiù yíng miàn yǔ gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， hòu zhě dà xǐ ， hái dān xīn zhuī gǎn bù jí ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng què zì jǐ tiào jìn le xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
她刚刚飞出不过数里，就迎面与宫装女子撞在一起，后者大喜，还担心追赶不及，没想到对方却自己跳进了陷阱里。
She had flown only a few miles when she collided head-on with a woman in court attire. The latter was overjoyed and worried that they might be too late, but instead, the other party jumped into a trap by herself.
nà hái yǒu shén me hǎo shuō 。
那还有什么好说。
What could be said now?
chóu rén jiàn miàn fèn wài yǎn hóng ， shuāng fāng shén tōng jǐn chū ， pīn lì shā zài yī chù 。 ér jǐn jǐn shì shùn xī gōng fu ， lìng liǎng míng lǎo guài yě lián mèi ér lái ， rú cǐ yǐ lái ， miǎo yōu xiān zi zì shì xiàn rù jué dì 。 yóu qí ràng tā dǎn zhàn xīn jīng de shì ， sān míng lǎo guài qí zhì ， nán dào zhàng fū tā bù gǎn xiǎng xià qù 。
仇人见面分外眼红，双方神通尽出，拼力杀在一处。而仅仅是瞬息功夫，另两名老怪也联袂而来，如此以来，秒幽仙子自是陷入绝地。尤其让她胆战心惊的是，三名老怪齐至，难道丈夫她不敢想下去。
Enemies meeting each other turn red in the face; both parties unleashed their full power, fighting fiercely together. In just an instant, two more old monsters arrived, leaving Miao Youxian in a desperate situation. The thought of three old monsters arriving made her heart race with fear—would her husband dare to think about it?
yī dào jīng hóng huà pò cháng kōng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， zhèng xiàng qián dùn chū 。 tū rán guāng huá yī liǎn ， chū xiàn yǐ nián qīng nǚ zǐ de róng yán 。 cóng biǎo miàn kàn ， cǐ nǚ bù guò èr shí chū tóu ， xiù wū hēi yóu liàng ， zhǎng kě jí yāo ， shēn chuān yī shēn qiǎn lǜ sè de qún zhuāng ， qū xiàn líng lóng ， shēn cái jiāo hǎo ， pèi shàng měi lì de miàn róng ， gēn běn jiù shì yī wèi jué dài jiā rén 。
一道惊鸿划破长空，风驰电掣，正向前遁出。突然光华一敛，出现以年轻女子的容颜。从表面看，此女不过二十出头，秀乌黑油亮，长可及腰，身穿一身浅绿色的裙装，曲线玲珑，身材姣好，配上美丽的面容，根本就是一位绝代佳人。
A streak of light cut through the sky, speeding like wind and darting forward. Suddenly, the light condensed into the appearance of a young woman. From the surface, she appeared to be in her early twenties, with long, black hair that reached down to her waist. She wore a green dress, her figure curvy and graceful, making her look like an absolute beauty.
ér cǐ nǚ suī rán nián qīng ， yī shēn yāo lì què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jī hū dá dào le lìng rén chù mù jīng xīn de dì bù ， bǐ nà hēi hǔ yāo wáng hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu 。 yǒu cǐ xiū wèi fàng yǎn dào kuí yīn shān yě méi yǒu jǐ gè ， ér huì zài fù jìn chū xiàn ， zì rán jiù shì kǒng què xiān zi le 。
而此女虽然年轻，一身妖力却非同小可，几乎达到了令人触目惊心的地步，比那黑虎妖王还要胜上一筹。有此修为放眼道奎阴山也没有几个，而会在附近出现，自然就是孔雀仙子了。
Despite her youth, this woman possessed formidable妖力, nearly reaching a level that was shocking to behold, surpassing even the Black Tiger Demon King. With such cultivation, there weren’t many in the Dao Qu Yin Mountains who could match her; naturally, she was the Peacock Immortal.
cǐ shí tā dài méi wēi zhòu ， yǒu xiē máng rán yǒu xiē jīng nù 。
此时她黛眉微皱，有些茫然有些惊怒。
At this moment, she frowned slightly, appearing both bewildered and enraged.
zuò wéi huà xíng qī de yāo shòu ， qí shén shí qiáng dà kě xiǎng ér zhī ， yuán yīng jí bié de dǎ dòu de dòng jìng yòu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suī rán xiāng gé shù shí lǐ ， dàn tā yǐ jīng gǎn jué dào tiān dì jiān líng qì nà jù liè de bō dòng 。 shì shuí gǎn lái cāng míng shān sā yě
作为化形期的妖兽，其神识强大可想而知，元婴级别的打斗的动静又非同小可，虽然相隔数十里，但她已经感觉道天地间灵气那剧烈的波动。是谁敢来沧冥山撒野
As a transformed creature, her divine awareness was undoubtedly powerful. The battle between an元婴级别的 cultivator was no small matter either. Although they were separated by several dozen miles, she could sense the intense fluctuations in the air. Who dared to cause trouble on Cangming Mountain?
kǒng què xiān zi yòu jīng yòu nù ， jiǎn zhí méi yǒu jiāng tā zhè ge lǐng zhǔ fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， ér zhè yàng de shì qíng jǐ bǎi nián méi yǒu shēng guò 。 zhēn dāng zì jǐ yǔ rén wéi shàn jiù zhè me hǎo qī fù ma ？
孔雀仙子又惊又怒，简直没有将她这个领主放在眼里，而这样的事情几百年没有生过。真当自己与人为善就这么好欺负吗？
Peacock Immortal was both shocked and angry; she didn’t even consider this lord as worthy of her attention. Such incidents hadn’t occurred for centuries—did these fellows really think they could bully her just because she was kind?
shuō qǐ lái ， kǒng què xiān zi yuán běn shì pí qì bào zào nà zhǒng ， yě nán guài ， shēn wèi tiān dì líng qín ， zì rán yòu jiāo ào de zī běn ， cóng xiǎo jiù yǎn gāo yú dǐng ， bù guǎn shì rén lèi hái shì yāo shòu dà bù fèn bèi tā shì zuò fèn tǔ ， shì shèng líng rú cǎo jiè ， zhè jù huà yòng zài kǒng què xiān zi shēn shàng yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。
说起来，孔雀仙子原本是脾气暴躁那种，也难怪，身为天地灵禽，自然又骄傲的资本，从小就眼高于顶，不管是人类还是妖兽大部分被她视作粪土，是圣灵如草芥，这句话用在孔雀仙子身上一点也不为过。
In truth, Peacock Immortal had always been a quick-tempered person, understandable given that she was a celestial bird with pride. She looked down on humans and other transformed creatures from the start, considering them mere dung and grass compared to divine spirits. This description fit Peacock Immortal perfectly.
yī yán bù hé jiù dà dǎ chū shǒu ， jí biàn shì tóng wèi huà xíng qī yāo shòu ， yě zhēn méi yǒu jǐ gè gǎn rě zhè wèi cāng míng shān lǐng zhǔ 。 rán ér zhè yī qiè zài shù shí nián qián què mò míng qí miào de shēng le gǎi biàn 。
一言不合就大打出手，即便是同为化形期妖兽，也真没有几个敢惹这位沧冥山领主。然而这一切在数十年前却莫名其妙的生了改变。
Any disagreement would result in a fight; even among transformed creatures, few dared to provoke this Cangming Mountain lord. However, things had changed mysteriously several decades ago.
kǒng què xiān zi jìn jiē zhōng qī yǐ hòu ， qù yōu zhōu zuò le yī fān yóu lì ， kě nà cì huí lái hòu ， tā de xiū wèi suī rán guǐ yì de bào zhǎng le xǔ duō ， dàn shì zhěng gè rén de pí xìng què yě shì tuō tāi huàn gǔ 。
孔雀仙子进阶中期以后，去幽州做了一番游历，可那次回来后，她的修为虽然诡异的暴涨了许多，但是整个人的脾性却也是脱胎换骨。
After advancing to mid-stage transformation, Peacock Immortal went on a tour of Youzhou. Upon her return, although her cultivation level had inexplicably increased significantly, her temperament had completely transformed as well.
suī rán hái shì nà me de jiāo ào ， dàn shì bào zào pí qì què gǎi diào le ， zhì shǎo bù zài yī yán bù hé jiù yǔ rén dòng shǒu 。
虽然还是那么的骄傲，但是暴躁脾气却改掉了，至少不在一言不合就与人动手。
She remained proud but no longer quick-tempered; she rarely fought to the death in battle unless there was a real grudge. Otherwise, if it were any other time, the Black Tiger Demon King would have been cut into pieces long ago. As for why this beautiful female cultivator suddenly became so refined and ladylike, nobody could explain—except Fresh Blossom Daoist.
jí biàn shì dòu fǎ ， yě hěn shǎo gǎn jìn shā jué ， zhǐ yào bú shì zhēn de yǒu chóu ， duō shǎo zǒng huì liú xià yī xiē yú dì de 。
即便是斗法，也很少赶尽杀绝，只要不是真的有仇，多少总会留下一些余地的。
In fact, the incident was purely coincidental. By chance, through Drifting Cloud Valley, Huan Yuan, and Lin Xuan, all had come to find Peacock Immortal. Fresh Blossom added: including Miao Youxian and her husband.
fǒu zé ， ruò shì huàn zuò yǐ qián ， hēi hǔ yāo wáng gǎn lái jiū chán ， kǒng pà zǎo bèi kǎn chéng shí qī bā kuài le ， zhì yú zhè wèi měi lì de nǚ yāo xiū ， wèi hé tū rán xiū shēn yǎng xìng ， biàn dé shū nǚ qǐ lái ， què shí shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。 xiān huā dào yǒu shuō de qīng chǔ 。
否则，若是换做以前，黑虎妖王敢来纠缠，恐怕早被砍成十七八块了，至于这位美丽的女妖修，为何突然修身养性，变得淑女起来，确实谁也说不清楚。鲜花道友说的清楚。
However, over a dozen days ago, Peacock Immortal had left on her own to gather some spirit herbs for alchemy. The herbs weren’t hard to find, but she estimated it would take at least two or three months before returning. To her surprise, the necessary herbs were gathered in just a few days.
shuō qǐ lái ， shì qíng yě shì qiǎo hé ， yīn cuò yáng chā ， lì hùn gǔ ， hùn yuán yǔ hēi hǔ ， hái yǒu lín xuān ， suī rán gè yǒu dǎ suàn ， dàn quán dōu shì lái xún zhǎo kǒng què de 。 xiān huā bǔ chōng xià ： hái yǒu miào yōu fū fù
说起来，事情也是巧合，阴错阳差，历混谷，混元与黑虎，还有林轩，虽然各有打算，但全都是来寻找孔雀的。鲜花补充下：还有妙幽夫妇
Peacock Immortal was overjoyed and set out immediately. Otherwise, any old monster of元婴级别, whether with good intentions or bad, would have run in vain. It wasn’t clear whose luck it was.
rán ér zǎo zài shí yú tiān qián ， kǒng què xiān zi jiù chū mén le 。 qù xún zhǎo jǐ wèi líng cǎo ， liàn zhì mǒu zhǒng dān yào ， nà jǐ zhǒng yào cǎo bù suàn nán zhǎo ， dàn kǒng què gū jì ， zhì shǎo yào liǎng sān gè yuè cái néng huí lái ， nǎ zhī dào yùn qì qí hǎo ， cái chū mén méi yǒu jǐ tiān ， xū yào de yào cǎo jiù yī yī zhǎo qí le 。
然而早在十余天前，孔雀仙子就出门了。去寻找几味灵草，炼制某种丹药，那几种药草不算难找，但孔雀估计，至少要两三个月才能回来，哪知道运气奇好，才出门没有几天，需要的药草就一一找齐了。
Originally, Peacock Immortal had found the spirit medicines early on, her mood extremely good. However, she never dreamed that someone would cause trouble at her doorstep. This was intolerable; did these fellows really think she had given up killing?
kǒng què zì shì dà xǐ ， yú shì biàn tà shàng le guī tú ， fǒu zé ， bù guǎn shì huái zhe hǎo xīn hái shì dǎi yì de yuán yīng jí lǎo guài wù ， dōu bì rán shì bái pǎo yī tàng 。 shuō qǐ lái zhe yě bù zhī dào gāi suàn shì shéi de xìng yùn le 。
孔雀自是大喜，于是便踏上了归途，否则，不管是怀着好心还是歹意的元婴级老怪物，都必然是白跑一趟。说起来着也不知道该算是谁的幸运了。
With a surge of妖力, a cold aura emanated from Peacock Immortal’s body.
yuán běn shì tí qián zhǎo dào líng yào ， kǒng què xiān zi xīn qíng jí hǎo ， kě shì zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng dào huì yǒu rén pǎo dào zì jǐ jiā mén qián dǎo luàn 。 shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ， mò fēi zhè xiē jiā huo zhēn dāng zì jǐ chī zhāi niàn fó ， bù zài shā rén le ？
原本是提前找到灵药，孔雀仙子心情极好，可是做梦也不曾想道会有人跑到自己家门前捣乱。是可忍，孰不可忍，莫非这些家伙真当自己吃斋念佛，不再杀人了？
Though she was angry, she wasn’t the reckless person she used to be. The ones causing trouble were all old monsters of元婴级别, and although her powers were formidable, she was alone and vulnerable. Falling into a trap would be disastrous; it was better to be cautious.
bàn zhe páng bó de yāo lì ， yī gǔ bīng lěng de shā qì yì chū kǒng què de shēn tǐ 。
伴着磅礴的妖力，一股冰冷的杀气溢出孔雀的身体。
With this in mind, Peacock Immortal stretched out her jade arms, changing hand gestures rapidly. A five-colored light enveloped her body.
bù guò cǐ nǚ suī rán fèn nù ， dào dǐ bù zài shì dāng nián de mǎng zhuàng xìng gé le ， nà xiē dǎo luàn de dōu shì yuán yīng jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， suī rán kǒng què shén tōng chū zhòng ， bìng bù hài pà shén me ， dàn dào dǐ shì shì dān lì gū ， wàn yī tà jìn xiàn jǐng jiù bù hǎo le ， hái shì xiǎo xīn yì diǎn wèi miào 。
不过此女虽然愤怒，到底不再是当年的莽撞性格了，那些捣乱的都是元婴级别的老怪物，虽然孔雀神通出众，并不害怕什么，但到底是势单力孤，万一踏进陷阱就不好了，还是小心一点为妙。
Then, the figure of the young woman blurred, vanishing without a trace.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， kǒng què shēn zhǎn yù bì ， rú chūn cōng bān de shí zhǐ bù tíng de biàn huàn fǎ jué ， yī tuán wǔ sè guāng yùn fú xiàn yú tā de jiāo qū
念及至此，孔雀伸展玉臂，如春葱般的食指不停的变幻法诀，一团五色光晕浮现于她的娇躯
She had used an invisibility technique, surpassing even the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. She also concealed her妖气, carefully flying towards the distant area.
suí hòu cǐ nǚ shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú ， jìng rán xiāo shī de wú yǐng wú zōng 。
随后此女身形一阵模糊，竟然消失的无影无踪。
Though she slowed down due to the invisibility technique, as a mid-stage transformed creature and a celestial bird, she was naturally gifted for flight. The distance of several dozen miles was covered in an instant.
yǐn nì shén tōng ， ér qiě sì hū bǐ jiǔ tiān xuán gōng jì zǎi de hái yào lüè shèng yī chóu 。 yāo qì yě shōu liǎn qǐ lái ， suí hòu kǒng què xiān zi xiǎo xīn yì yì de fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù
隐匿神通，而且似乎比九天玄功记载的还要略胜一筹。妖气也收敛起来，随后孔雀仙子小心翼翼的飞向了远处
Fortunately, Peacock Immortal arrived just in time. Facing the attacks from three old monsters, Miao Youxian couldn’t hold on much longer; after only a few exchanges, she suffered severe injuries.
suī rán shī zhǎn le yǐn nì shù hòu ， dù yào màn shàng xǔ duō ， dàn tā bì jìng shì huà xíng zhōng qī de yāo zú ， hé kuàng shì tiān dì líng qín ， duì fēi xiáng běn lái jiù yǒu tiān fù ， shù shí lǐ de jù lí ， zhuǎn shùn jiù dào le 。
虽然施展了隐匿术后，度要慢上许多，但她毕竟是化形中期的妖族，何况是天地灵禽，对飞翔本来就有天赋，数十里的距离，转瞬就到了。
Just as Peacock Immortal arrived, she saw the bald giant using his fang staff to strike, and Miao Youxian barely managed to block with her sword. However, she was knocked back into mid-air, opening her mouth to spit out a blood arrow.
yě xìng kuī kǒng què lái de jí shí ， miàn duì sān míng yuán yīng jí bié de lǎo guài wù gōng jī ， miào yōu gēn běn jiù shì zhī chēng bù liǎo duō jiǔ ， jǐn jǐn jǐ gè zhào miàn ， jiù shēn shòu zhòng shāng 。
也幸亏孔雀来的及时，面对三名元婴级别的老怪物攻击，妙幽根本就是支撑不了多久，仅仅几个照面，就身受重伤。
The woman in court attire, seeing this, flashed an aura of murderous intent; she wouldn’t hold back but instead manipulated the silver hook to pierce her abdomen. With such a strange and powerful artifact, Miao Youxian’s death was certain if it hit—she might not even be able to escape as an元婴.
kǒng què dào lái de shí hòu ， gāng hǎo kàn jiàn guāng tóu dà hàn yòng láng yá bàng fǎ bǎo jī chū ， miào yōu miǎn qiǎng yòng jiàn dǎng zhù ， dàn yě bèi zhèn fēi le ， rén zài bàn kōng ， jiù zhāng kāi tán kǒu ， yī dào xuè jiàn pēn chū 。
孔雀到来的时候，刚好看见光头大汉用狼牙棒法宝击出，妙幽勉强用剑挡住，但也被镇飞了，人在半空，就张开檀口，一道血箭喷出。
Moreover, the timing was impeccable—the moment her power was dispersed by the strike, she couldn’t defend herself. Miao Youxian cried out in alarm, biting her teeth; her only hope was to escape her元婴 first. At this critical moment, Peacock Immortal’s voice reached her ears: "Sister, don't panic, I'll help you."
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ jiàn le ， yǎn zhōng yī lǚ shā qì shǎn guò ， zì rán bú huì liú shǒu ， fǎn ér cāo zòng yín gōu fǎ bǎo cì xiàng tā de xiǎo fù 。 yǐ zhè fǎ bǎo de guǐ yì shén tōng ， yí dàn mìng zhòng miào yōu xiān zi bì sǐ wú yí ， kǒng pà lián yuán yīng dōu wú fǎ dùn chū 。
宫装女子见了，眼中一缕煞气闪过，自然不会留手，反而操纵银钩法宝刺向她的小腹。以这法宝的诡异神通，一旦命中妙幽仙子必死无疑，恐怕连元婴都无法遁出。
Miao Youxian did indeed have some personal motives for approaching Peacock Immortal, but in truth, the two women were quite compatible. With so few reaching元婴级别 among humans and transformed creatures alike, Peacock Immortal had few friends; Miao Youxian just happened to be one of them. Even though she didn’t understand the situation fully, she couldn’t watch helplessly as blood splattered outside her home. Emotionally and logically, Peacock Immortal couldn’t stay out of it. Moreover, with three against one, the others were shameless.
ér qiě duì fāng shí jī ná niē de jí hǎo ， gāng gāng shì tā fǎ lì ， bèi zhèn sàn de yī kè ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ dǐ dǎng 。 miào yōu yī shēng jīng hū ， yín yá yī yǎo ， xiàn zài tā wéi yī de chū lù jiù shì qiǎng xiān dùn chū yuán yīng ， rán ér zài zhè qiān jūn yī de shí kè ， kǒng què xiān zi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ： mèi mèi bié huāng ， wǒ lái bāng nǐ 。
而且对方时机拿捏的极好，刚刚是她法力，被震散的一刻，根本就没有办法抵挡。妙幽一声惊呼，银牙一咬，现在她唯一的出路就是抢先遁出元婴，然而在这千钧一的时刻，孔雀仙子的声音传入耳朵：妹妹别慌，我来帮你。
Seeing Miao Youxian unable to dodge, Peacock Immortal extended her left hand, flicking her index finger. A five-colored sword energy shot forth.
miào yōu jiē jìn kǒng què dí què dài le yì diǎn sī xīn ， dàn píng xīn lái shuō ， liǎng nǚ què shí xìng qíng xiāng tóu ， ér bù guǎn shì rén zú hái shì yāo zú néng gòu dá dào yuán yīng jí bié de shì zài shì bù duō ， suǒ yǐ kǒng què méi yǒu shén me péng yǒu ， ér zhè miǎo yōu qià hǎo kě yǐ suàn shì yí gè ， cǐ kè tā suī rán bù liǎo jiě shì qíng de yuán wěi rú hé ， dàn zì rán bù néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe miào yōu zài zì jǐ jiā mén kǒu xuè jiàn wǔ bù ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， kǒng què dōu bù néng zhì shēn shì wài 。 hé kuàng duì fāng sān dǎ yī ， yě wèi miǎn bú yào liǎn pí 。 yǎn jiàn miào yōu wú fǎ duǒ guò ， kǒng què shēn chū zuǒ shǒu ， shí zhǐ wěi qū ， qīng qīng yī dàn ， yī dào wǔ sè jiàn qì jiù jī shè chū qù 。
妙幽接近孔雀的确带了一点私心，但平心来说，两女确实性情相投，而不管是人族还是妖族能够达到元婴级别的是在是不多，所以孔雀没有什么朋友，而这秒幽恰好可以算是一个，此刻她虽然不了解事情的原委如何，但自然不能眼睁睁的看着妙幽在自己家门口血溅五步，于情于理，孔雀都不能置身事外。何况对方三打一，也未免不要脸皮。眼见妙幽无法躲过，孔雀伸出左手，食指委曲，轻轻一弹，一道五色剑气就激射出去。
With a hiss, the sword energy was swift and precise, intercepting the silver hook.
chī de yī shēng ， nà jiàn qì dù jí kuài ， hòu xiān zhì ， jū rán jiāng nà yín gōu lán le xià lái 。
嗤的一声，那剑气度极快，后先至，居然将那银钩栏了下来。
Seizing this opportunity, Miao Youxian rejoiced and retreated, standing side by side with Peacock Immortal.
ér dé dào zhè ge kòng xì ， miào yōu xiān zi dà xǐ ， máng piāo shēn xiàng hòu tuì qù ， yǐ yú kǒng què bìng jiān zhàn zài yī chù 。
而得到这个空隙，妙幽仙子大喜，忙飘身向后退去，已于孔雀并肩站在一处。
As their enemies were about to be defeated, a troublesome figure suddenly appeared. The woman in court attire’s expression changed, her face darkening as she prepared for the next battle.
Couple birds in the same forest, when disaster strikes, each flies away. Yet, there is still human affection in this harsh cultivation world. To save his beloved wife, Yunfeng was willing to feed spider souls with his flesh and blood. Miao Youxian did not choose to live alone either; after sending out a sound transmission talisman, she returned to look for her husband.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
She had flown only a few miles when she collided head-on with a woman in court attire. The latter was overjoyed and worried that they might be too late, but instead, the other party jumped into a trap by herself.
What could be said now?
Enemies meeting each other turn red in the face; both parties unleashed their full power, fighting fiercely together. In just an instant, two more old monsters arrived, leaving Miao Youxian in a desperate situation. The thought of three old monsters arriving made her heart race with fear—would her husband dare to think about it?
A streak of light cut through the sky, speeding like wind and darting forward. Suddenly, the light condensed into the appearance of a young woman. From the surface, she appeared to be in her early twenties, with long, black hair that reached down to her waist. She wore a green dress, her figure curvy and graceful, making her look like an absolute beauty.
Despite her youth, this woman possessed formidable妖力, nearly reaching a level that was shocking to behold, surpassing even the Black Tiger Demon King. With such cultivation, there weren’t many in the Dao Qu Yin Mountains who could match her; naturally, she was the Peacock Immortal.

After advancing to mid-stage transformation, Peacock Immortal went on a tour of Youzhou. Upon her return, although her cultivation level had inexplicably increased significantly, her temperament had completely transformed as well.

She had used an invisibility technique, surpassing even the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. She also concealed her妖气, carefully flying towards the distant area.
Though she slowed down due to the invisibility technique, as a mid-stage transformed creature and a celestial bird, she was naturally gifted for flight. The distance of several dozen miles was covered in an instant.
Fortunately, Peacock Immortal arrived just in time. Facing the attacks from three old monsters, Miao Youxian couldn’t hold on much longer; after only a few exchanges, she suffered severe injuries.
Just as Peacock Immortal arrived, she saw the bald giant using his fang staff to strike, and Miao Youxian barely managed to block with her sword. However, she was knocked back into mid-air, opening her mouth to spit out a blood arrow.
The woman in court attire, seeing this, flashed an aura of murderous intent; she wouldn’t hold back but instead manipulated the silver hook to pierce her abdomen. With such a strange and powerful artifact, Miao Youxian’s death was certain if it hit—she might not even be able to escape as an元婴.
Moreover, the timing was impeccable—the moment her power was dispersed by the strike, she couldn’t defend herself. Miao Youxian cried out in alarm, biting her teeth; her only hope was to escape her元婴 first. At this critical moment, Peacock Immortal’s voice reached her ears: "Sister, don't panic, I'll help you."
Miao Youxian did indeed have some personal motives for approaching Peacock Immortal, but in truth, the two women were quite compatible. With so few reaching元婴级别 among humans and transformed creatures alike, Peacock Immortal had few friends; Miao Youxian just happened to be one of them. Even though she didn’t understand the situation fully, she couldn’t watch helplessly as blood splattered outside her home. Emotionally and logically, Peacock Immortal couldn’t stay out of it. Moreover, with three against one, the others were shameless.
Seeing Miao Youxian unable to dodge, Peacock Immortal extended her left hand, flicking her index finger. A five-colored sword energy shot forth.
With a hiss, the sword energy was swift and precise, intercepting the silver hook.
Seizing this opportunity, Miao Youxian rejoiced and retreated, standing side by side with Peacock Immortal.
As their enemies were about to be defeated, a troublesome figure suddenly appeared. The woman in court attire’s expression changed, her face darkening as she prepared for the next battle.
