Su Yang stared at the gourd for a while longer but couldn't figure out anything special about it, so he had to ask the two little creatures.

The Golden Phoenix bounced around as if describing something, but Su Yang simply couldn't understand its meaning at all.

This fellow is nowhere near as smart as it was when it was young. Thinking back to when this little guy was still a Little Chick, its body language was so rich that not just Su Yang, but even the likes of the Black Widow could understand what it meant.

Now that it's grown, all its wit is gone, feeling like it's developed poorly. Its body language has regressed to this state, leaving Su Yang sighing helplessly.

Honestly, many things in this world are cute when they're young, but grow up to be unwatchable!

Unable to understand, Su Yang waved it off to stop, then pointed to the gap below, inquiring, "What's the situation down there now?"

The Golden Phoenix immediately shut its mouth, standing obediently. From its stance, it seemed highly concerned about the situation within the gap, hesitant to speak anything.

Su Yang turned to the Three-legged Colorful Crow, which simply turned its head away, completely ignoring Su Yang.

Su Yang was left speechless, waving his hand, saying, "I'm not asking about the situation inside there, I'm asking about Qi'er's situation. Qi'er went inside, what's the situation for her now?"

The two creatures remained silent, with the Golden Phoenix finally waving its wings, signaling Su Yang not to worry.

Su Yang just wanted to kick it dead, how could I not worry?

But, now at this time, even if Su Yang worried, it would be of no use, he could only stand here honestly waiting.

...

Outside the Feather Spirit Palace, people were still anxiously waiting.

Among them, the most worried were naturally the dean and others.

After all, it's already common knowledge that people from the Eight Realms planned to unite against Su Yang and his party.

The Eight Realms are immensely powerful; any single realm alone can easily crush the Human World. Now, united, Su Yang and his group stand no chance at all.

Having been inside for so long, everyone is undoubtedly very worried, fearing Su Yang encountered some danger in there.

As for the Heavenly Court Master standing here as well, he seemed relatively calm.

Wei Qing is a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm, deserving some respect even from the Heavenly Court Master. Despite being among many in the Nine Realms, with beings like Yang Wudi of incredible prowess, the Heavenly Court Master still believes Wei Qing can gain some benefits in there!

If the Heavenly Court Master knew that Wei Qing was now isolated and being hunted relentlessly by the likes of Yang Wudi, he wouldn't know what expression to put on.

As everyone anxiously awaited, at a distant mountain, several people were quietly watching this side.

Leading them was the Divine Master, and beside him were several of his followers.

The Divine Master stood quietly here, staring at the sky above the Feather Spirit Palace from afar.

The others beside him were extremely tense because this position was already very close to the Feather Spirit Palace, surrounded by Human World experts. If discovered, their lives were in jeopardy.

"Divine Master, we've been here for a week now, and there's been no movement inside. Can't these people touch the core area of the Feather Spirit Palace?" The Sky Blade Peak Master asked cautiously, having lost all status here after being poisoned by the Divine Master.

A single wrong move invites torture by the Gu Worm, leading to unbearable pain. Right now, he is filled with endless regret.

If he'd known earlier, he would stand with the Human Clan no matter what. Now, the Human Clan holds much higher status than before!

"No rush," the Divine Master replied slowly, "since they haven't come out yet, there's still hope. Plus, after all these years, the inheritance of the Feather Spirit Palace should appear."

"But, our position here is too close to those from Qinghe Academy, isn't this...too dangerous..." the Sky Blade Peak Master murmured.

The Divine Master turned, glanced at the Sky Blade Peak Master, and spoke leisurely, "You're afraid?"

The Sky Blade Peak Master shuddered; he feared neither Qinghe Academy nor the Heavenly Court but dreaded the Divine Master!

"It's not fear, just concerned about exposing our whereabouts," the Sky Blade Peak Master hurriedly said, "You don't need to risk yourself, Divine Master. We can handle this."

The Divine Master scoffed, ignoring the sycophancy of the Sky Blade Peak Master, only silently watching the distant horizon.

As everyone waited, a red light suddenly shot up from above the Feather Spirit Palace.

The Divine Master's eyes widened instantly, with his expression reaching peak excitement.

"Finally emerged!"

The Divine Master sighed with joy, unable to contain his enthusiasm.

Over by the Feather Spirit Palace, the dean, Heavenly Court Master, and others were astonished by the sudden change.

Their understanding of the Feather Spirit Palace was evidently not as deep as the Divine Master's. Faced with such sudden change, they didn't know what had happened, filled with bewilderment, unsure of what action to take.

"What's going on?" The Heavenly Court Master asked in surprise.

No one could answer that question; even the dean looked at him in confusion, as who could know what had occurred inside?

"Looks like there's a major upheaval inside the Feather Spirit Palace!" The third-generation Martial God spoke gravely, personally leaving seclusion to guard against any untoward actions from the Heavenly Court regarding Feather Spirit Palace issues.

"Should we send someone in to check?" someone from the Heavenly Court whispered.

As soon as this was mentioned, the Heavenly Court Master immediately replied, "Absolutely not! The situation inside the Feather Spirit Palace is still unknown, sending people in rashly might invite danger. Moreover, the Nine Realms agreement specifies that only those ninety can go inside. Sending people now, whether from the Human Clan or Heavenly Realm, would break the Nine Realms' pact. How would we explain if other realms question us?"

The Heavenly Court people fell silent, though the dean threw a glance at the Heavenly Court Master, feeling inward contempt, cursing him fiercely in private.

He knew exactly what the Heavenly Court Master was thinking; in the Heavenly Court Master's eyes, given the Eight Realms' united against the Human World, the Human World is doomed, while the Heavenly Realm remains competitive among the Eight Realms.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the Feather Spirit Palace, stability for the Heavenly Realm is preferred. They can still hold the leading position, better preserving current circumstances.

However, if someone is sent in now, just who would be sent?
