Her eyeballs and her hair completely changed into crimson red, her transformation totally shocked the golden eagle. Hundred of years has passed since he has seen this look before he could return to his senses….

She folded her hands on her chest then she separated them following a loud scream, the golden eagle was blown off her body and sent flying outside the pinnacle with her scream through the opening on the ceiling of the pinnacle, he almost crashed on the ground but he quickly regained his stamina, he spread out his wings and flew back into the sky. ​​

The sect leader, the elders and the other disciples who had arrived at the scared pinnacle before she screamed were also sent flying in different directions by her scream, they watched as the golden eagle almost crashed on the ground but they were relieved when it flew back into the sky.

"Sect leader, I think it is the young mistress" Huo Mei whispered to the sect leader.

"She must have transformed, we can't have her appear before the disciples in her current state," the sect leader said, Huo Mei and Huo Lian were about to go inside the sacred pinnacle but they stopped when they saw Huo Ying flying from the pinnacle. The colour of her hair had already changed back into its normal colour but her eyeball was still red. Just when the golden eagle was flying down to the ground, she flew close to him then she did a backflip in the air, she spun around and gave the golden eagle who was caught unawares a flying kick, which sent him flying back into the scared pinnacle, everyone present at the scene sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Did the young mistress just kick the golden eagle?" one of the elite disciples asked.

"That can't be, she was just unconscious," another one said

"She can't be that strong, the golden eagle is our ancestor, even the sect leader can't defeat the golden eagle, how could she have done that," another disciple said

"Sect leader, I think the young mistress transformed but they wouldn't discover since they can't see her clearly," Huo Lian said

"What if she can't change before she comes out, the both of you should go in there right now, make sure she doesn't do anything stupid, she just woke up and the first thing she could do is cause chaos in the sect," the sect leader said, then the both of them ran into the sacred pinnacle.

The elders were astonished as to how much her strength has increased, they were confused but all they could do was wait for her to come out of the sacred pinnacle.

"You…You…how dare you attack me" the golden eagle said as it struggled to stand.

"The fact is that I am stronger than you and now you are going to listen to me, take me to my friends now or else…." Huo Ying said

"or else what, if you hadn't caught me unawares, you wouldn't have succeeded in defeating me, although you are similar to my master, you are not my master," the golden eagle said

"Then don't blame me for being cruel, I gave you a chance," Huo Ying said then she raised her hand up and conjured a ball of fire in her hand.

"Do you think you can defeat me with the power I have to you?" the golden eagle said with arrogance resounding in his voice.

"Why don't you try it" Huo Ying said then her hair slowly changed back into a red colour…

Dubum!

Dubum!

Dubum!

I am hearing the heartbeat again but she can't be the one….

The golden eagle thought!

She slowly brought her hand down with the ball of fire in her hands, then she threw them in the direction of the golden eagle who responded sharply by shielding himself with his wings.

"Obey her command," a voice said, but only the golden eagle could hear it.

"No way, why does master keep wanting me to help this girl?" the golden eagle said then he threw the ball of fire back at Huo Ying with a flap of his wings.

"What are you talking about?" Huo Ying asked

"I don't understand why master keeps wanting me to help you, who are you to my master?" the golden eagle asked

"I don't who your master is but whoever he is, he seems to be more sensible than you are," Huo Ying said

"You…"

"Are you helping me or not?" Huo Ying asked then she conjured another ball of fire in her hand.

"I will help you but not because I am scared of you, if not for my master command I would have killed you a long time, just hope that your friend is still alive," the golden eagle said, hearing what he said, she quickly repelled the ball of fire in her hand and moved closer to the golden eagle.

"What are you saying?" Huo Ying asked

"I stabbed his hand and his abdomen in a moment of anger and anyone who is stabbed with my talon will be poisoned, if he didn't treat them two hours after I injured him, he will die before he returns," the golden eagle said

"How dare you!" Huo Ying shouted then she conjured a huge size of the fire in her hand and directed it at the golden eagle, he quickly shielded himself with his wings but she still continued pouring flames in his direction.

"You are just wasting your time, the more you delay the more likely he is to die," the golden eagle said

"Shut up, if any one of them die then you will also die" Huo Ying shouted.

At that moment, Huo Lian and Huo Mei arrived at the pinnacle, they were stupefied at the scene in front of them.

"Young mistress!" the both of them chorused, then she turned towards their direction to see who it was.

"What are the two of you doing here?" Huo Ying asked with her eyes focused on the golden eagle and flames pouring out of her palms towards the golden eagle.

"Young mistress, you need to calm down, what if you fall sick again" Huo Mei shouted

"I can't calm down, he poisoned one of them and the person will die before they can return to the sect or is already dead," Huo Ying said

"What you are doing is useless, your power can't work on the golden eagle, we got our powers from him," Huo Lian said

"I know, but what you don't know is that we also got our powers from Huoyan Shuo so it should still affect him a little, he is nothing but a cruel damned ancestor," Huo Ying said then she increased the intensity of the flames.

"Do you think that your flames will affect me because you also have Huoyan Shuo core in you, dream on?" the golden eagle said then it separated his wings and sent the flames back to Huo Ying who absorbed in back into her body. Before she could attack again, the two of them quickly held her hand.

"Let me go!" Huo Ying shouted

"Young mistress, remember what Huo Bingchen and the others had to go through in order to save you," Huo Mei said

"Huo Mei even had to…..." Huo Lian said but she quickly stopped when she realized that she had almost told Huo Ying what Huo Mei did to extend her life.

"Anyways if anything happens to the golden eagle, you won't be able to save them," Huo Lian said

"What are you saying, she cannot hurt me but she won't be able to save them if I change my mind," the golden eagle said, Huo Ying realized that what he had said is true so she calmed herself down and transformed back to her normal self, the both of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that she could change back to her normal self without venting her anger.

"What did you poison them with?" Huo Ying asked

"I didn't poison them with anything, my talon itself is the poison," the golden eagle said

"Did he poison them?" Huo Mei asked in shock

"He said he stabbed one of them and if the person doesn't treat the wound in time, he will die," Huo Ying said

"Ancestor please save them!" Huo Mei said, she bowed her head and cupped her palm and fist together.

"I will save them but only her can go with me, as long as one drop of my blood is applied to his wound before he dies, he will be saved," the golden eagle said.

"Young mistress, how are you going to return to the sect," Huo Lian asked

"They have horses so it should be fine," Huo Mei said

"No need for horses, he will bring us back," Huo Ying said

"Who are you referring to?" Huo Mei asked, then she traced Huo Ying's gaze to the golden eagle.

"Are you referring to me?" the golden asked

"you are going to bring the four of us back to the sect, you are big enough to do that" Huo Ying said

"You are going to far, are you taking me for an ordinary eagle," the golden eagle said in anger.

"Of course not, an ordinary eagle is not capable of doing that but you are. Remember, you said your master told you to listen to me or are you going to disobey your master" Huo Ying said

"You…okay, but only because my master said so, don't think that a weak human like you can control me," the golden eagle said

"But what if you are recognised?" Huo Lian said

"They can't see us in the sky considering how high he can fly," Huo Ying said.

"Let's go now," Huo Ying said, the, she climbed the back of the eagle and sat on it.

"Young mistress, you can't go now, the sect leader is not aware of your plan," Huo Mei said

"Didn't you hear that one of them might die if we are not fast, I will leave you in charge of informing my father?" Huo Ying said.

"Let's go"

The golden eagle flapped his wings then it flew out of the pinnacle with Huo Ying seating on his back, everyone outside the pinnacle was shocked when the saw the eagle flying out of the top of the pinnacle with Huo Ying seating on his back.

"Sect leader, what is the young mistress doing, the golden eagle just appeared out of the sect five days ago, if the people outside the sect see it again, it will raise questions," the first elder said

"The first elder is right," the third elder said

"Let's wait for Huo Mei and Huo Lian to return then we can ask them what happened, there is nothing we can do about it any more," the sect leader said, he pressed his glabella with two of his fingers. He could never have imagined that Huo Ying would cause such chaos as soon as she woke up. Minutes later, Huo Lian and Huo Mei came out of the pinnacle.

"Sect leader!" the both of them chorused with their heads bowed.

"What is going on, did I not tell you not to let her do anything stupid, why did she leave with the golden eagle?" the sect leader asked

"The young mistress made the golden eagle take her to Huo Bingchen and the other two" Huo Mei replied, the first elder who was tensed up became relaxed when he heard that she wanted to save Bingchen. He didn't expect her to be willing to save Bingchen even after all their conflict.

"Why didn't you stop her?" the sect leader shouted in anger

"We couldn't stop her, she insisted on going" Huo Lian replied, they couldn't tell him that they didn't even bother to stop her.

"You always say that you can't stop her from doing something, then what is exactly is your job," the sect leader said

"Please forgive our incompetence" the both of them chorused on their knees, the sect leader glared at them, then he threw his large sleeve behind him and left the sacred pinnacle angrily, everyone also left the pinnacle after the sect leader left.
