Immortal Sword Path: "I will subdue him."
Xiao Yunyi showed a look of surprise, recalling the many times the Immortal Sword intervened in the battles between Qingcang Immortal and Jianmu.

Sword State, a deep, ancient forest.
Ao Heng gently stroked a spotted deer, their auras mingled for just a moment, and the deer's belly began to gradually swell, three months pregnant.
"Go now, I have bestowed upon you some spells. The Human Race will think you are a naturally enlightened spirit beast. It is best you seek protection from an Immortal Sect, lest you be killed and made into medicine."
The spotted deer's eyes showed clear reluctance, yet obediently, it rubbed Ao Heng's leg before bounding away into the forest.
The deer's tuft of red had not completely retracted; it turned out to be a stag.
"Such spirit beasts are quite endearing."
