Princess Longji stared intently at the Phoenix sisters, asking sternly.

The Phoenix sisters, however, were silent.

Sha Chen said, "I have faith in them. They would not do such things; they are very well-behaved with me."

Princess Longji said, "I’ll ask you again, was it you who ate the Elixirs and Immortal Herbs on Kunlun Mountain and caused a commotion? We let you go for Sha Chen the Divine’s sake, yet you were not content and demanded compensation?"

The Phoenix sisters, as if it were only natural, said, "You captured us. Of course, you should compensate."

However, on their way, they seemed to realize they had done something wrong. They also felt the power of the Queen of the West and the others, fearing retaliation in their hearts, and even more afraid of being scolded by Sha Chen.

After speaking, their voices became much lower, their presence weakened.

Sha Chen had a headache. It was indeed true.

However, the Phoenix sisters were his daughters. He could not possibly let them suffer a loss.

But he was in the wrong and couldn’t boldly stand his ground to the end, for if he did, it would be the Phoenix sisters who suffered.

After all, they were still in the hands of the Queen of the West.

After hesitating for a moment, Sha Chen said, "Whatever Elixirs and Immortal Herbs they have eaten, I can compensate you for them."

The Phoenix sisters were immediately moved to tears.

Qing Luan said, "Father, you are so good."

Hong Luan also said, "Father, you truly are our good father. We love you to death!"

Bai Luan said, "You are our real father."

Sha Chen smiled faintly, taking the opportunity to garner some goodwill.

Princess Longji said, "They ate the Sun and Moon Essence of my Kunlun Mountain, as well as a stalk of Approaching-Divine Medicine, and more than five hundred First-grade Immortal Elixirs, not to mention countless Second and Third-grade Immortal Elixirs."

HISS.

Sun and Moon Essence? Approaching-Divine Medicine? More than five hundred First-grade Immortal Elixirs? Countless Second and Third-grade Immortal Elixirs?

Sha Chen was stunned for a moment, then fell silent for a while.

The Phoenix sisters were still quite pleased with themselves, shouting, "Eating your stuff is only right! And what’s the big deal anyway? Our father has plenty of Elixirs and Immortal Herbs; he can just compensate you."

"Exactly, Father, just compensate them."

"Father?"

The three sisters looked at Sha Chen, puzzled.

Sha Chen’s expression was calm. He smiled faintly and said, "You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t know you."

Then, turning to the Queen of the West, Princess Longji, and the others, he said, "They are Phoenixes; I am from the Realm of People. How could I possibly be their father? You’ve found the wrong man."

The Phoenix sisters: "???"

Then, they began to weep bitterly.

They also began to feel afraid and pleaded desperately for Sha Chen not to abandon them.

"Father, we know we were wrong! SOB SOB SOB! Please don’t abandon us."

"SOB SOB SOB! Don’t abandon us! We’ll work to compensate for it ourselves! Don’t give up on us!"

"Father, please don’t discard us."

Sha Chen had a headache. How could he truly not want the Phoenix sisters? After all, he had raised them and invested a lot in them.

It’s just that the Elixirs and Immortal Herbs eaten from Kunlun Mountain were of immense value; he couldn’t afford the compensation.

Even if he could afford it, he wouldn’t compensate.

Even a wealthy man might not have endless resources; how could he afford to compensate them?

Sha Chen said, "Queen of the West, why not let them go? We can slowly settle this matter later."

The Queen of the West said, "Do you now admit that they were wrong?"

Sha Chen said, "They have committed some mistakes that any Phoenix would, but they are just children. Don’t be so hard on them. Besides, you were planning to let them go earlier, which shows that the matter is not that severe."

The Queen of the West said, "I was planning to let them go, but that was with you owing me a favor. Now, it seems that you’re not inclined to owe favors, so indeed, they cannot be let go lightly."

Then, she retracted her hand, and her domain’s power immediately trapped the three Phoenix sisters.

Sha Chen frowned. At that instant, he wanted to rush out and intervene, but in the end, he held back.

Queen of the West said, "Now, can you open the doors to the cave and let us in?"

Naturally, Sha Chen was not about to open the door.

Instead, he said, "You come in great numbers and force; this place truly cannot accommodate you all. Moreover, I feel that your grand arrival isn’t just for the three sisters. If there’s anything else, speak now."

The people of Kunlun Mountain looked at each other, uncertain.

Princess Longji also became angry and said, "Supreme Deity, isn’t this against the rules, and also impolite?"

Sha Chen glanced at her and said, "I am but a crude man of the mountains; it is quite normal for me not to observe politeness. If you do not wish to communicate with me, feel free to leave immediately."

Princess Longji huffed, "Don’t you even consider the welfare of the three sisters?"

WHIR.

As soon as the words were spoken, Princess Longji immediately felt an overwhelming pressure, as if Mount Tai were crushing down on her, the strain multiplying.

The immortals also changed color dramatically, each breaking out into a cold sweat, filled with terror, and barely able to move.

The Queen of the West of Kunlun Mountain frowned and said, "Presumptuous! Who gave you permission to speak to Fellow Daoist Sha Chen in such a manner?"

She then continued, "Fellow Daoist Sha Chen, please release them. What Longji said was thoughtless."

Only then did Sha Chen relax his oppressive aura and indifferently took a sip of wine, as if nothing had happened.

Princess Longji gasped for breath, her eyes filled with fear.

When she looked at Sha Chen again, she no longer dared to show any defiance. She also remembered the fear Sha Chen had instilled in her on a previous visit. It now seemed Sha Chen was still high above, his strength unfathomably deep. Moreover, even the Queen of the West appeared to side with him, which could only mean that not even she was confident of victory against Sha Chen. Otherwise, the Queen of the West would never have spoken in such a manner.

When the oppressive aura had descended, an inconspicuous female immortal beside the Queen of the West was unaffected, her demeanor calm and collected.

This person, while having an outstanding appearance, seemed unremarkable among the other female immortals and didn’t stand out.

It could be inferred that she had concealed her identity to come here and did not want to be discovered.

However, she did not know that her attempts to hide were futile in front of Sha Chen; even Siti would not be fooled.

She was Fairy Yao Yue from Kunlun Mountain, the war deity with the Sun and Moon Rotation Wheel, who had been guarding Kunlun Mountain for over a hundred thousand years and was one of the unrivaled masters of Kunlun Mountain.

Having felt Sha Chen’s aura, she now conveyed to the Queen of the West via voice transmission, "Sha Chen has definitely reached the Quasi-Sage Peak."

The Queen of the West felt a grave heaviness in her heart. She had not expected Sha Chen’s strength to be so transcendent, surmounting that of Kunlun Mountain.

She also changed her attitude, smiling as she said, "Since Fellow Daoist Sha Chen is unwilling to open the door, it doesn’t matter. Why not let me in and keep the others outside?"

Sha Chen said, "No need. Your radiance is blinding, and this dim and dark place here cannot accommodate you."

The Queen of the West was exasperated. She had not anticipated that Sha Chen would be so resistant, impervious to both soft and hard approaches.

She then continued, "Indeed, there is something I need to discuss with you, Fellow Daoist, but it is quite inconvenient to converse out here."

Sha Chen said, "Flowing Sand River blocks out even the Heavenly Dao. As long as your people don’t broadcast our conversation, no one will know. So, whether you speak or not depends on whether you trust your own people."

These words were like a stab to the heart.

Princess Longji immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don’t I lead everyone out of the Flowing Sand River to provide you with a comfortable environment for discussion?"

The Queen of the West remained silent.

Yet Princess Longji had already gestured for the others to follow her and leave.

But then, the Queen of the West suddenly said, "No need. Those who have come are all my trusted aides, and there are things they are entitled to know."

Then, all of a sudden, she looked towards the right, into the depths of the parted Flowing Sand River, and said, "The real person who should leave is the one hiding in the water!"

Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately realized that there was someone else present.

Princess Longji and the others became alarmed and perturbed. Their vigilance flared as they swiftly lashed out towards the Three Holy Mother.
