The phoenixes had already understood the situation. They squeaked at Jiang Ming, obviously wanting him to let them go.

They also released some tiny feathers from their wings.

Zhu Asi noticed the feathers and could not help but be surprised. "These feathers are quite rare. These two phoenixes actually dared to give you these feathers. It seems like they are really begging for mercy."

Jiang Ming looked at the phoenixes and said seriously, "If I let the two of you go, will the two of you take revenge on us?"

Zhu Asi was amused. "Ning Caichen, what are you thinking about? How can these phoenixes understand your words?"

However, Jiang Ming did not answer Zhu Asi's question at all. Instead, he continued to look at the phoenixes.

The two phoenixes answered with a squeak.

Jiang Ming looked at one of the phoenixes and said, "One of you is sincere, and the other is lying."

The phoenixes were a little surprised. They wanted to flap their wings, but because of Jiang Ming's restraint, they could not.

Zhu Asi was stunned by what he saw. He did not expect Jiang Ming to say this.

He stuttered, "Ning Caichen, can you talk to these demons?"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Is there a problem?"

"Doesn't talking to demons require a certain amount of mana?"

Ah Yao said in shock as she took a few steps back.

She was a little afraid.

Was Ning Caichen that terrifying? She had underestimated Ning Caichen before. It seemed that she would have to find a safe place to escape later.

"Does this require mana?"

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Asi strangely.

Zhu Asi suddenly felt that he had suffered a huge blow and forced a smile.

"After all this time, it turns out that we only need mana to communicate with demons."

He let out a bitter laugh.

If only he had Ning Caichen's power, life would be good. Unfortunately, this was just a pipe dream.

Noticing Zhu Asi's expression, Jiang Ming patted his shoulder and comforted him. "Don't overthink. This should be a problem with your physique. When you reach a certain level, you will definitely be able to talk to demons."

Zhu Asi continued to smile bitterly. What use was Ning Caichen's comfort to him?

At this moment, the princess also walked over with a surprised look in her eyes. "I was just about to look for you, but I accidentally entered this place and found you. Why did you all come out?"

Jiang Ming looked behind her.

Almost everyone else had walked over.

Master Long was even more surprised. "The two of us only wanted to come out for a while and go back immediately. Why did you guys come looking for us?"

Madman Junior replied, "We were afraid that something would happen to the two of you, so we came out for a while."

"There are many interesting things in the capital."

Feng Yunche took out a piece of candy and handed it to Jiang Ming. "I found this candy. Come and have a taste. This candy is very delicious."

Seeing how enthusiastic Feng Yunche was, Jiang Ming could not reject him. He took the candy and took a bite. "It's indeed not bad."

When he heard that Jiang Ming liked it, Feng Yunche started babbling about food again.

Only then did Jiang Ming realize that Feng Yunche was a glutton.

He responded, "We'll discuss this later. We'll go back for now."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming let the two phoenixes go and wanted to follow the others back.

When they saw the phoenixes, the others were shocked. "Why would phoenixes come to such a place? They probably wouldn't want to be in such a desolate place."

"You're wrong," Master Long explained. "Recently, many places have been occupied by some people in the capital, so phoenixes can only go to this place."

They fell silent.

In the midst of the silence, an arrow pierced through the air.

Before they could react, countless arrows were shot at them. The arrows were golden in color, but the arrowheads were black.

Zhu Asi looked in the direction of the arrow. There was a man dressed in revealing clothes looking at them.

His gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to kill them.

Madman Junior was furious. "How dare you attack us!"

He rushed up and subdued the boorish man.

The boorish man could not defeat him, so he kicked Madman Junior in the crotch, wanting to annihilate him in one fell swoop.

Madman Junior was not to be trifled with. He picked up the arrow on his back and directly stabbed it into the thigh of the boorish man.

The boorish man cried out in pain.

Taking advantage of this gap, Madman Junior also discovered that there was still a rope in the basket on his back. He took out the rope and tied up the boorish man.

The boorish man did not expect to be tied up by his own rope. He immediately gritted his teeth and spat at Madman Junior.

His saliva was highly toxic. Anyone who touched it would die on the spot.

Although Madman Junior did not know who the person in front of him was, he was afraid that his saliva would be problematic, so he dodged it.

That person did not expect Madman Junior to dodge. He was instantly unhappy and shouted at Madman Junior. "Why are you avoiding me? Do you think I'll eat you? Do you know who I am?" He was irritated and unsettled. "Let me go, you b*stards!"

Zhu Asi was so angry that he laughed.

He had never been called a b*stard in his life.

Was there something wrong with this boorish man's brain?

Then, he became angry again. He clenched his fists and aimed at the boorish man.

"Do you see my fist? Believe it or not, I'll crack open your head!"

Seeing this, the boorish man was not afraid at all. Instead, he wanted to rush forward and spit at him. His eyes narrowed.

"You look like a weakling!"

Zhu Asi dodged the saliva and was angered by the boorish man. He released a stream of spiritual energy from his hand and stuffed it into the mouth of the boorish man.

"Aaah! What did you stuff in my mouth?"

The boorish man became angry.

Zhu Asi rolled his eyes. "Did you finally get a taste of your own medicine? You kept spitting at us because we were too good to you."

"Amazing!"

Master Long could not help but praise him from the side, his eyes sparkling.

He had long disliked this boorish man. Now that this boorish man had been subdued, he felt at ease.
