"Didn't you see that red light earlier? It looked like a tree? "
The two little ones shook their heads. "Grandma, it's completely dark here, and we can't even see clearly. We only recognized you because of your voice earlier. We didn't see any red light along the way? "
"…" Then what did she see? Was she seeing things?
Zhu Yao faintly felt that something was amiss, no matter if it was the strange formation earlier, or that red light.
"Let's head out first!" No matter what, she had to leave this floating mountain first.
She immediately brought the two little ones back the way they came. She did not enter too deep, as long as she turned into that path …
The hell, where's the path?
Earlier, they clearly came from this direction, yet now, she could only see a stone wall. There was basically no path at all.
"Granny?" Ye Qingcang asked doubtfully.
"The hell!" Zhu Yao wanted to curse out. "We're trapped."
"…"
Her master said that there were many unknown formations here. Now that she thought about it, they might have been trapped in a formation the moment they entered this mountain.
"Grandma, what do we do now?" Little tyrant frowned, a hint of worry surfaced on his face.
They could only take it one step at a time. "Set up a defensive barrier and follow behind me. Be careful."
The two little ones nodded. They summoned their flying swords and cautiously followed behind her.
Zhu Yao looked around, and suddenly realized that the glowing red line earlier had once again appeared beneath her feet, extending straight towards a certain direction.
Was this … pointing the way for her?
She pondered for a moment, and then cast a fire-type mystic art. Only then did the surroundings brighten up a little, and she carefully followed that path. Right now, she had no choice but to take a look.
The further she walked, the wider the surroundings became. There seemed to be some sort of dripping sound. The unpleasant smell in the air had dissipated quite a bit. She could even faintly smell the fragrance of plants. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of unease in the depths of her heart.
This fragrance, it felt as though … she had smelled it somewhere before.
"Yu … Yao, stop!" Her master's voice suddenly sounded in the depths of her heart.
Zhu Yao was shocked, and her feet stopped.
A few meters in front of her, suddenly, a large amount of purple flames ignited for no reason. Even the mountain rocks at the side were instantly melted.
"Grandma!" Little tyrant pulled her. He immediately pulled her several steps away.
"This is …" The three of them were stunned. They had never seen a flame of this color before.
What was even stranger was that they didn't feel any heat at all.
Zhu Yao's heart was in a mess. A thought flashed through his mind. He felt like he was about to recall something, but he couldn't grasp it.
The purple flame burned for an entire hour, and then it was as if it had never appeared. It disappeared.
A blood-red mark suddenly appeared on the ground.
"Why does this painting look so much like a bird?" Little tyrant voiced out.
Ye Qingcang continued. "It looks like … a phoenix."
Phoenix! Zhu Yao was startled. Taking a step forward, she carefully inspected the imprint, and simply felt her mind buzzing.
The blood formation, the strange fragrance. The red threads and the purple flames that others couldn't see were instantly strung together.
She broke into a run and ran forward.
Damn. How could she forget this? Shao Bai had clearly taught her this.
"Grandma?" Little tyrant and Ye Qingcang exchanged glances. He immediately chased after them.
Zhu Yao ran in the direction of that red thread. She had even used a mystic art and sprinted towards it. At the end of that red thread, she saw a gigantic phoenix diagram formed by several red threads converging on a gigantic stone wall.
She looked at the diagram a little blankly. Divine Enchantment Guide!
A guiding art unique to the Phoenix race. Using one's primordial spirit as a guide, it would point the way. Only people the caster wished to see would be able to see it.
It was no wonder the formation earlier was so powerful. It was no wonder there were endless demonic beasts being transported in just a few teleportation formations. It was no wonder no matter how high the rank of the beasts were, they couldn't resist that formation.
That was a blood formation, a formation laid down using the blood of a God race.
And that God race …
Please don't be the one she guessed.
A slightly hoarse male voice suddenly sounded from behind the stone wall. "Under the Heavenly Dao, no one can resist it. Even the God race is no exception …"
Zhu Yao's heart sank. She immediately summoned her sword intent and charged towards the stone wall.
With a rumbling sound, the stone wall with the phoenix pattern on it collapsed, revealing another dark space.
When she clearly saw the man standing in the midst of the shattered rocks, Zhu Yao simply felt as though the metal basin that had been floating in the air the entire time, had smashed right into her.
Holy shit, it's really him!
"Thunder attribute Phoenix, seven …" The man's face flashed with ecstasy. He turned to look at the cave entrance and was stunned for a moment. Then, his face fell. "How could it be so old? Who are you? "
Old …
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She clenched her fists, and wished that she could just step forward and give him a good beating.
"Grandma …"
"Granny …"
Little tyrant and Ye Qingcang just happened to follow them in. When they saw Little Eighth inside, they were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tightened their grip on the sword in their hands. Zhu Yao waved her hands at the two of them, signaling them not to be nervous.
He took a step forward and sighed. "Little Eight …"
That's right, this was the youngest phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, Little Eight, who had been killed with a handful of melon seeds.
"Seventh … Seventh Sister?" His face was full of disbelief as he stared blankly at her old face, tears welling up in his eyes. "It's really you?"
Zhu Yao could not help but feel a little touched as well. How long had it been? She did not expect that she would be able to see him here. Just as she was about to step forward and give him a loving hug, he suddenly said.
He suddenly said, "How did you become so ugly?"
"…" He knew how to chat. What did he mean by becoming ugly? She simply had a little more life experience.
"Are you really my seventh sister?" Little Eighth circled around her, and said with a worried look. "What should we do? You were already extremely ugly without a tail. Now that you've become like this, does this mean that you've become uglier than the Phoenix Clan, and are charging towards the human realm?"
"Scram!" Zhu Yao raised her leg and kicked him, yet he dodged to the side. In an instant, he had already walked a few steps away with a happy smile on his face.
"Seventh sister, your personality really hasn't changed in the slightest. You don't even allow people to call you ugly, seriously!"
"…" May I ask, if I beat this stupid little brother of mine to death, will my cultivation level be deducted?
He retracted his smile. He sized her up for a moment, and his eyes dimmed little by little. An unknown emotion surfaced, and only then did he mutter to himself.
"Seventh sister …"
"Mn?" If you say I'm old again, I'll beat you up!
However, he suddenly smiled at her with a radiant smile. His eyes curved, and he said. "That's great. I'm able to see seventh sister one more time. Little Eighth is really happy. "
Zhu Yao's heart choked. She faintly felt that his expression was a little off. Taking a step forward, she reached out to grab him. "Little Eighth, why are you acting so strange? Also, why are you here? "
However, he suddenly took a step back, dodging her hand. She grumbled, "Seventh Elder Sister, I'm serious. Although you've always bullied me since young, I've really missed you. "
"Little Eighth …" She frowned. She didn't know why, but when she heard him speak in such an obedient manner, she began to panic in the depths of her heart. Instead, she panicked and had a bad premonition. "What happened?"
He was stunned for a moment. His expression sank, and he said with a forced smile. "Seventh sister, I … seem to have … thrown the face of the Phoenix race." Although he was smiling, his tears suddenly flowed out, and they were falling even more. That once extremely arrogant little Phoenix, who had always despised her, was actually beginning to cry in front of her. His face was filled with a wronged expression. "I shouldn't have believed the words of a mortal. That human practitioner lied to me, and made me use my primordial spirit to open up this space, imprisoning me here for eternity. He even wanted to take my inner core."
Her heart trembled. Imprisoning! Was he trapped here as well?
She suddenly recalled that mystic maniac. Could it be him?
Initially, she had thought that he was just a pure lunatic, just like those perverted doctors in many movies, who did not hesitate to kill so many beasties to refine them into chimeras. She never expected that not only did he kill so many demonic beasts, he even laid his hands on a God!
"Little Eighth, are you alright?" She anxiously stepped forward.
Little Eighth still dodged. "I was actually trapped by a human practitioner. Seventh sister, are you going to laugh at me … for not being a good Phoenix? "
"Little Eighth …" Zhu Yao's heart clenched. She had never seen him with such an expression, and the uneasiness in the depths of her heart grew heavier. "Seventh sister is here … No matter what, don't worry, I will definitely save you."
She took a step forward, wanting to pull him, but she grabbed empty air. Her hand had actually passed right through his body.
Zhu Yao was instantly stunned!
This was impossible! She grabbed a few more times, and without any surprise, her hand passed through his body every single time.
This was …
"It's too late." Little Eighth gave a bitter laugh, and his figure began to fade like a shadow. "Seventh sister, Little Eighth is too stupid. I'm going to die from my own stupidity … It's been a long, long time …"
The entire space suddenly shone with a bright red light. Only then did Zhu Yao clearly see the situation in the room. However, she simply felt an explosion next to her ears, and her entire body was instantly nailed to the ground. She stared at the wall in front of her with widened eyes.
That was a red Phoenix, a Phoenix that had completely lost all signs of life. Its gigantic figure covered the entire gigantic mountain, and on its body that resembled a feather made of red flames, there were several dozens of gigantic black nails nailed into the mountain. Around the mountain, there were even countless blood red formations engraved.
Large amounts of fiery red fresh blood endlessly flowed out from the black nails, dripping into the blood pool below.
Little Eighth's soft voice sounded next to her ears. "To be able to see seventh sister again after death, Little Eighth is really happy." At the same time, his figure began to fade.
"Little Eighth!" Zhu Yao was a little unable to believe this reality. She tried to pull him several times, yet, her hand passed through his body time and time again. In the end, she could only watch as he disappeared before her eyes.
Yet, she was unable to do anything at all!
A piercing pain instantly came from the depths of her heart, as though needles were piercing into her heart. She could not help but press down on her chest, yet, the pain was still making it hard for her to breathe.
"Yu Yao." Yu Yan's voice sounded next to her ears. "What you saw, was merely a strand of divine sense he left behind. He has long been … "
"I know!" It was because she knew that she felt even more pain. Because, she was even late to send him off on his final journey! Initially, she thought it was a reunion, but it was actually a farewell of death!
She would definitely not forgive the person who killed him!
— — — —
A red light suddenly shone from within the blood pool, and a human figure slowly floated out from within. It was actually that strange divine art practitioner she saw earlier. However, there was a faint deathly aura surrounding his body. Under the cleansing of the God's blood, the deathly aura gradually dissipated. Under the cleansing of the god's blood, that aura of death was slowly suppressed.
In an instant, Zhu Yao realized that this was the human practitioner that Little Eighth was talking about, the one who deceived him. She also understood his intentions.
This body was evidently at the end of its lifespan. He killed Little Eighth in order to use the god's blood to extend his life!
Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, and boundless rage instantly engulfed her entire body. She immediately summoned her sword intent and charged towards the person in the blood pool. However, at the moment of contact, it was blocked by a red formation.
On the right side of the blood pool, a figure flashed, and an illusory figure that looked exactly the same as the person in the pool appeared next to her.
"It's you guys again!" The man coldly snorted. "You're actually here to court death again!"
He first glanced at little tyrant and Ye Qingcang with disdain, and then looked at Zhu Yao a little fearfully.
Zhu Yao clenched her fists, and her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. Gritting her teeth, she asked with emphasis on every word. "Little Eighth … You did it?"
The man was startled for a moment. "You recognize this phoenix!" Then, a hint of joy flashed past his face. "Then you must know how to retrieve its inner core, right? Hurry and tell me! As long as I have a God's inner core, I will be able to completely revive. I will no longer have to appear with my divine sense, and I will even be able to ascend to the Higher Realm. "
Zhu Yao's eyes were about to turn red from the rage in the depths of her heart. She gritted her teeth and said. "I know!"
"Hurry and tell me." He had an anxious look. "As long as you tell me, mystic arts, spiritual medicine, mystic treasures, I can give you anything? I can give you anything you want? "
"I want you to pay with your life!" She immediately circulated the spiritual energy in her entire body, controlled her sword intent, and once again attacked him. She had never wanted to destroy someone as badly as she did at this moment.
The man was startled. With a twist of his hand, a spiritual sword was materialized in an instant, and he attacked Zhu Yao, instantly scattering her sword intent. "You're overestimating yourself!" He coldly snorted. Suddenly, spiritual energy flowed out from his entire body, and a gigantic black snake floated out from his body. With its mouth wide open, it counterattacked with a threatening aura.
This was the opponent's sword intent.
Zhu Yao simply felt an irresistible pressure coming straight at her, and she was about to kneel down from the spiritual pressure. However, she gritted her teeth and steadied herself. Her spiritual energy once again condensed into a sword spirit, and she welcomed that snake.
"Yu Yao!" The pea emitted a white light, and Yu Yan's figure once again appeared. With a wave of his hand, he materialized a wall of wind, blocking the opponent's attack. He then reached out to pull Zhu Yao, wanting to stop her desperate actions.
Zhu Yao reached out to grab the pea in her embrace, and forcefully pinched it.
"Pea ~" The pea opened its mouth in pain. She turned around and threw it towards the two little ones behind her. In the next moment, the pea grew large, and with a single gulp, it swallowed the two of them.
"Yu Yao …" Only then did Yu Yan realize what she wanted to do. He wanted to stop her, but it was already too late. His figure flashed, and together with the pea, they were teleported out of this space, disappearing from where they stood.
Zhu Yao once again gathered the spiritual energy in her body, condensed it into sword intent, and looked straight at the man in front of her.
"I will take revenge for Little Eighth myself."
This was the only person she wanted to personally beat up! (To be continued)
