The red-haired elder's expression grew even darker. "Humans are by nature treacherous and cunning. This child is still young, you must have bewitched her."
A terrifying aura erupted from his body as his gaze locked firmly onto Yun Jin. "Sever the contract! Do that, and I'll spare your life!"
For a Super Divine Beast, enslavement was an eternal disgrace.
The last time, it had been because that man was far too powerful. He had been unable to resist and could only watch helplessly as his son walked the path of humiliation. This time, he would never allow such shame to repeat itself.
The overwhelming pressure bore down on Yun Jin, even making the expressions of the surrounding beasts change slightly.
Elder Rong Zhou had slumbered for countless years. Having only awakened a few months ago, his power was still growing at a frightening pace. With his focus locked onto the human before them, even the others—merely caught by the edge of the aura—felt their hearts tighten and knees weaken. As for Yun Jin, the main target, she surely must be on the verge of collapse…
Or so they thought.
Every gaze turned toward Yun Jin, only for their brows to lift in disbelief.
What was going on?
The human woman hadn't even furrowed her brow. She stood there completely at ease, even looking faintly relaxed.
Impossible!
Rong Zhou's face shifted. Subconsciously, he intensified the pressure.
Yet Yun Jin remained calm, her expression almost carrying a hint of weary helplessness.
She thought back.
When she had first joined the Tianxing Sect, Zhao Wuji had pressed down on her step by step, forcing her to endure crushing oppression. Back then, even the aura of someone at the Unity realm had seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
But now, the mental pressure of a Mahayana Lava Dragon did not even make her blink.
While Yun Jin looked utterly unconcerned, Rong Zhou's forehead had begun to bead with sweat.
He clenched his teeth tightly.
No.
Back then, he had lost to that man. Along with that defeat, he had lost the dignity of the entire Lava Dragon Clan.
This time, he had to reclaim it.
"Senior, you're already sweating. Perhaps we should sit down and have a proper talk instead?" Yun Jin said kindly, her voice full of sincerity.
Heaven above bore witness, this time she truly wasn't mocking him. She was being earnest.
[Emotional Value +500!]
[Emotional Value +500!]
[…]
The system messages rolled one after another, a chain of ten in succession.
Yun Jin almost sighed aloud.
Really? Even when she spoke sincerely, it struck so hard?
Was this… talent?
Rong Zhou glared at her, his red hair whipping in fury. He unleashed a yet more terrifying wave of pressure toward Yun Jin.
She gave a helpless look, and a black-and-white vortex appeared before her. The crushing might that descended was instantly devoured by the vortex, erased without a trace.
Rong Zhou's pupils contracted sharply. His teeth ground together as he spat out, "What is your relation to Wandao?"
That black-and-white aura—this woman was absolutely tied to Wandao!
Yun Jin blinked, then smiled. "Allow me to introduce myself properly. Wandao Saint is my master. I am the new Sect Master of Wushuang Sect."
Wandao Saint's disciple.
The new Sect Master of Wushuang Sect.
In an instant, every gaze turned toward Yun Jin.
The Spirit Beast Forest was cut off from the world and cared little for outside affairs. Yet even they had heard of Wandao Saint and the Wushuang Sect.
A thousand years ago, their own king had once declared that among all living experts, only Wandao Saint was unmatched, impossible to defeat.
At that time, the Wushuang Sect had stood so high that it suppressed even the Four Great Holy Lands.
Rumors had trickled in about the sect's reconstruction, but they had dismissed it as idle gossip. After a thousand years of decline, how could the Wushuang Sect return to its peak?
Yet here, standing before them, was a white-haired woman who claimed to be Wandao's disciple.
Rong Zhou narrowed his eyes. "To pick a mere child to head the sect… Wushuang Sect truly has fallen."
Yun Jin bristled. "What child? Do you not see this head of white hair? Senior Lava Dragon, I think you need your eyes checked!"
Rong Zhou was stunned.
That was the part she focused on?
But his expression soon hardened again. "Back then, I lost to Wandao, shaming the Lava Dragon Clan for a thousand years. Since you are his disciple, then today, you and I shall fight. If I win, you must release my son and return Dan Dan to the clan. If you win, I will not oppose it further. More than that, I'll owe you a favor. So long as it is not excessive, you may call upon me once. What say you?"
As his voice fell, Dan Dan's face brightened with delight. "Yay, yay!"
Rong Zhou's expression softened instantly.
This was what it meant for blood to call to blood.
See?
Unlike her scoundrel of a father, Dan Dan clearly wished to return to her clan.
If that was the case, then even if it cost him his life, he would—
His oath was cut short by Dan Dan's cheerful voice. "Master, beat this old man into the ground! That way, he won't be able to keep spouting nonsense."
The smile froze stiff on Rong Zhou's face.
"Beat this old man into the ground? Stop him from spouting nonsense?"
He felt as though his fragile heart had been shattered into pieces.
"Dan Dan, that's your grandfather. Show some respect," Yun Jin scolded gently. "Besides, I wouldn't beat him into the ground."
Rong Zhou's expression eased slightly.
Good. At least this human knew some sense of propriety.
"I'd only strike just hard enough to defeat him. Beating him into the ground would be far too rude." Yun Jin finished with a straight face.
Rong Zhou: "???"
The other Super Beasts: "…"
Rong Zhou nearly went mad.
That was what she called polite?
Fine. Very well. Today, he had to fight her no matter what.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge.
But just then, a voice heavy with majesty resounded in the sky.
"The Sect Master of Wushuang Sect has arrived. Please, enter the hall for an audience."
In the next instant, the spider silk binding Yun Jin unraveled on its own. The great doors of the temple swung slowly open.
Yun Jin's heart tightened.
So this was the legendary king of the Spirit Beast Forest.
"Lao Zhou, calm yourself! The King summons her personally. You can fight after she comes out."
The five Super Beasts worked together to restrain Rong Zhou.
Twin jets of air snorted furiously from his nostrils. He ground out, "Fine! Once she emerges, I'll settle this with her!"
He dropped heavily to sit outside the hall, determination etched across his face.
This battle was unavoidable.
Yun Jin could only glance helplessly at the seated Rong Zhou before stepping forward into the opened temple gates.
From the outside, the temple had been majestic and grand. Inside, it was a boundless field of white.
Just as Yun Jin was marveling, a deep voice echoed around her.
"So, you are Yun Jin, the one who has recently turned the heavens upside down?"
In the next heartbeat, a figure appeared before her.
He was a strikingly handsome man, his hair adorned with a feathered crown, his body clothed in regal brocade. If not for the knowledge that this was the King of the Spirit Beasts, one might have mistaken him for a mortal emperor.
"Junior Yun Jin, greets Senior. Turning the heavens upside down… I wouldn't dare claim such a thing." Yun Jin bowed with clasped hands.

If I remember correctly, in earlier chapter isn't it called with "Super Spirit Beast"? But the Author now called them with "Super Divine Beast". Maybe they change it?
