Without their Demon Beast mounts, the impact of the wind on the three of them lessened considerably. It wasn’t long before they crossed the hurricane area. But another problem arose. Zong Ren had been following the scent left by the small bat to locate the Great Elder and Yuan Shahu. However, after passing through the hurricane area, it was likely that the small bat could not cross it, and beyond that area, they could no longer detect any scent. Facing the vast and boundless land of the unknown, the three of them showed expressions of difficulty. Just then, Yun Sheng heard a series of cheerful chirping sounds. He saw a small creature with mixed red and blue colors flying towards them from not far away. It was a tiny creature, almost the size of a sparrow, with oddly colored feathers – half red, half blue. What was most peculiar was its head; like Little Black that Yun Sheng had seen before, it had two heads. One head was red, and the other was blue. "A Double-headed Ice and Fire Phoenix! This is a variant of the Chongming Bird," Zong Ren’s eyes lit up at the sight of the little red and blue bird, as if he was a drunkard who had seen fine wine or a lecher who had met a beautiful woman. Yun Sheng also noticed at first glance that although this Demon Beast was still a fledgling, its attributes were very special, belonging to the extremely rare dual elements of water and fire on the continent. If one could possess such a dual-elemental Demon Beast, it would be of great help to any Summoner. Even though Zong Ren already had a Dragon Claw Bat King, a Holy Beast Level Demon Beast was still very tempting. The Double-headed Ice and Fire Phoenix was the bird dispatched by Yuan Bupo to search for Yun Canglang. Before setting out, Yuan Bupo had secretly taken a letter written by Yun Canglang which had been left in Yuan Shahu’s boudoir. The Ice and Fire Phoenix was tracking Yun Canglang’s location using the residual scent on the letter. But Yuan Bupo forgot that although the Double-headed Ice and Fire Phoenix was a Holy Beast, it was still very young and naïve about the outside world. After it took flight, the bird flew around confusedly and eventually got lost. Only when it finally came to its senses and smelled the scent of human beings, did it realize one of them carried the scent from the letter given by its master. Overjoyed, it flew towards them. Little did it know that Zong Ren’s eyes were filled with covetousness; he looked as if he was about to roast and eat the Ice and Fire Phoenix at any moment. Little Red and Blue was scared and did not dare to approach. "Zong Ren, don’t be greedy. Can’t you see that little guy already has an owner? Moreover, it’s someone else’s Lifebound Demon Beast," Yun Sheng said with amusement. It was then that Zong Ren realized that there was a strong human scent coming from the Ice and Fire Phoenix. "Don’t scare it. By the looks of it, it seems to want to tell us something," Yun Sheng noticed that Little Red and Blue kept circling around Yun Canglang non-stop. Yun Sheng had a thought and covertly activated the Divine Power of the Linglong Beast Tower from within the Beast Language Ring. The Linglong Beast Tower was already a treasure, coveted by ordinary Demon Beasts. Not to mention a Holy Beast Level fledgling like Little Red and Blue, who, upon smelling that refreshing scent, immediately became affectionate and landed on Yun Sheng’s shoulder, gently pecking at his ear with its beak and emitting a series of pleasant chirping sounds. Yun Sheng felt a tickle in his ears and laughed, "Little guy, hurry up and tell me who sent you. If you answer well, there will be benefits for you." Little Red and Blue understood Yun Sheng’s words and, eager to please, spread its wings wide. Yun Sheng took a careful look and discovered a letter hidden underneath its wings. Upon opening it, Yun Sheng’s expression instantly turned solemn. Yun Canglang took the letter and saw the date of the signature, his heart skipped a beat. The writing on the letter was hasty and sloppy, evidently penned by Yuan Bupo in a rush. It detailed how Yuan Shahu had been exiled from Dihong City because of Yun Canglang, wandering alone and aggrieved outside for over eight years. Moreover, for Yun Canglang, she was willing to be seen as a traitor by Dihong City, and was to be executed in a few days to atone for Xuan Wuji’s death. After reading the letter, Yun Canglang felt an overwhelming pang of pain in his heart. He had not expected that Yuan Shahu had suffered such immense grievances, and all these years, he had been unfairly blaming her. "Uncle, don’t be sad anymore. The most urgent matter now is to rush to Dihong City immediately. The letter was written six days ago. By my calculations, isn’t tomorrow the day of aunt’s execution?" Yun Sheng also felt a surge of anxiety in her heart. They had delayed too much on their way; if they didn’t reach Dihong City soon, it would be too late. The three of them hurried towards Dihong City together with Little Red and Blue. The next morning, in the Dihong City dungeon. A group of Dihong City soldiers walked in, accompanied by Madam Bi. Yuan Shahu, who had lost all hope, did not even lift her head. "Yuan Shahu, put on these clothes," Madam Bi ordered her personal maid to bring forward a set of clothing. When Yuan Shahu clearly saw the clothing, her previously unchanging face suddenly contorted. It was a set of bridal attire, a flaming red that hurt Yuan Shahu’s eyes. "What is the meaning of this?" Yuan Shahu asked coldly. "What does it mean? Today is the day of my son’s burial, and your day of accompanying him in death. He always wanted to take you as his wife while he was alive. What a shame, you whore, hooking up with others outside, and shamelessly breaking off the engagement," Madam Bi said, her face twisted with viciousness. "You didn’t want to be the Young City Lord’s Wife, so today, I will let you accompany Wuji on his final journey as a concubine," Madam Bi said through gritted teeth. Madam Bi wanted to humiliate Yuan Shahu, to deny her peace even in death. "Madam Bi! Don’t you go too far!" Even a pushed clay figure has its limits. If Yuan Shahu still felt a hint of guilt towards Madam Bi for killing Xuan Wuji earlier, all that guilt had now vanished. What Madam Bi was doing was not just humiliating her alone, but also shaming the Yuan Family and Yun Canglang. Though Yuan Shahu was never truly Yun Canglang’s wife, in her heart, he was her only husband. Now, to bring up Xuan Wuji, she felt disgusted just hearing his name. "I am forcing you, what about it? My son couldn’t have you while alive; in death, he shall have your company. This should let him rest. Do you think the Yuan Family would defy me, the City Lord’s Wife, for a lowlife like you who’s as good as dead? Guards! Strip this whore of her clothes and dress her in the bridal robe," Madam Bi ordered, pinning Yuan Shahu down firmly. Poor Yuan Shahu, imprisoned for days without food, her fighting spirit sealed, simply could not resist.
