"Sob, sob, sob …"
The old phoenix took off the green fox's ghostly face and began to mutter and wail crazily, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become very strange. On the contrary, he ignored the little foxes and Fang Xing and Kong Kong 'er who had followed him into the hall. He was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. When he cried, his emotions caused the void to change, and an inexplicable sadness emerged in the void. For living creatures, this was equivalent to the most powerful illusion. When the little foxes heard this cry, they were infected by the sadness and immediately became unstable. They were full of sorrow and unconsciously burst into tears, wishing that they could hug him and cry together.
Even someone with Fang Xing's cultivation felt that along with the cries of the old phoenix, strands of sorrow surged into the bottom of his heart, and there was a feeling of regret, despair, sorrow, and sorrow that surged in his heart, causing him to arouse the feeling of wailing loudly. But his Dao Heart was firm, and it wasn't something that others could shake at will. His heart shook before he'd already severed this sort of illusion, and he wasn't affected …
"Alright, you've cried enough. It's time to get down to business!"
Fang Xing secretly used his Divine Sense and shouted coldly, "Nine-feathered Phoenix Ancestor, you have offended me. Do you know your crime?"
This sentence contained an endless amount of Immortal Might. It shook the hall and immediately diluted the sorrow brought by the crying of the old phoenix in the hall. The little foxes, who were crying their hearts out, also became much more clear-headed. They curiously rubbed their eyes and looked around, as if they didn't understand why they were crying so sadly …
"Swoosh …"
The old phoenix suddenly raised his head and glanced at Fang Xing with a gaze as sharp as a sword. Fang Xing's heart trembled and he held the Heaven Deceiving Tyrannical Saber in his hand. However, the old phoenix did not make a move. After glancing coldly at Fang Xing, he looked at the fox girl again. The sadness in his eyes gradually disappeared. He looked at the green fox's ghostly face and then at the fox girl's eyes. He said softly in a very hoarse voice, "Little girl, are you from Tian Yuan or some Immortal Realm?"
Hearing his question, Fang Xing and Kong Kong 'er looked at each other and temporarily restrained their intention to make a move.
With his cultivation, if he wanted to know anything about a little fox girl like Xiao Yi, he could simply take away her soul with a single thought. It would not take much effort at all. Since he had asked, it showed that he respected the fox girl's opinion and had no intention of using force. The little fox girl's life was temporarily not in danger …
The fox girl also gathered her courage and looked up at the old phoenix. She whispered, "I … I am from Tian Yuan!"
Under the gaze of the old phoenix, she felt that there was nothing she could hide and subconsciously told the truth.
"That means he really went back …"
The old phoenix muttered to himself. The sparse golden beard on his chin trembled a few times. It was unknown what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he sneered and stared coldly at the fox girl. "Then what are you looking for by coming back here?"
Seeing his expression change, Fang Xing and Kong Kong 'er became slightly nervous.
The fox girl gathered her courage and whispered, "In Tian Yuan, this mask fell into my hands. I have always used the power contained in it to fight against the powerful beings of the God Race. But one day, my divine sense suddenly penetrated into the depths of the mask and found that there was an incomplete inheritance … The Nine Lives Nirvana Technique. After I cultivated it, I felt that it was very powerful, so I passed it on to my younger sisters … But this inheritance is incomplete. I can always feel a kind of faint calling from the other side of the starry sky. That should be the remaining part of this inheritance, so I … I came back to look for it …"
"Nine Lives Nirvana Technique?"
Fang Xing was startled when he heard this. The green fox mask had been in his hands for a long time, but he had never discovered that there was such an inheritance hidden in it. But thinking about it, the inheritor of the green fox mask was not him. It was him who stole it and bit by bit broke a part of its restriction. Only then was he able to borrow some of the power inside. For a fake owner like him, using that power was already very difficult, so there was no need to think about finding the inheritance hidden inside.
"Haha, you're wrong!"
The old phoenix listened to the fox girl's words and suddenly laughed, his face full of contempt, "Even if you come back, you won't be able to find the rest of the inheritance!"
The fox girl was slightly startled, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
The Old Phoenix sneered coldly, "Because the Nine Lives of Nirvana Heaven Technique was originally an inheritance that had not been pushed to the extreme. It was born incomplete, and what was hidden in the fox face was already all of its techniques. Hehe, if it wasn't for the fact that this inheritance was born incomplete and couldn't be pushed to perfection, how would the old fox fall to such a realm and seek his own death by returning to Tianyuan Ancestral Land?"
"No … That's not right!"
The fox girl was more and more shocked as she listened. She couldn't help but say, "I can clearly feel that there is something related to this inheritance on the other side of the starry sky … Just now … When I put on the ghost mask, I also felt that kind of aura, and even felt that it was getting closer and closer. If you hadn't interrupted me, I would have found that part of the inheritance …"
"Idiot!"
The Old Phoenix suddenly turned its head to look at the fox girl, and an invisible aura floated out from its body. It faintly hovered in the air, and turned into a delicate, gorgeous, and lifelike little Phoenix. After circling around the fox girl twice, it suddenly rushed towards her, but it suddenly exploded in the air, and turned into firework-like fragments that floated down like a rain of petals … ….
"Since you can feel it, but can't distinguish it, that aura is pointing at me?"
The old phoenix's words instantly shocked the fox girl, and she looked up at him in a daze. Even Kong Kong 'er and Fang Xing were stunned for a moment, looking at the old phoenix with great puzzlement. For a moment, they thought they had heard wrong. They all knew that the old phoenix and the Nine-tailed Fox King were mortal enemies, and the one who had personally killed the Nine-tailed Fox King was him. Since that was the case, how could there be an aura in the inheritance that the Nine-tailed Fox King had painstakingly left behind by the Nine-tailed Fox King?
If that was the case, didn't that mean that when the fox girl Xiao Yi had mobilized the aura of the green fox ghost face to search for the location of the remaining part of the inheritance, she had basically mobilized all the aura in order to attract it over?
"Haha, are you all very surprised?"
The old phoenix sneered, and there was some madness in his voice. "That year, the old fox and I had deduced the [Nine Lives of Nirvana] technique, and even the mystery of this inheritance originated from the innate divine ability of my Phoenix Clan. At that time, I had told him that it would not work, but he did not believe me, and insisted on finding a way out. Unfortunately, in the end, we still lost … That was a dead end, and although it had endless power, it had essentially become a dead end … It was also because of this that the despairing old fox decided to disembark early, and made his choice before he could still make a choice, and then … he wanted me to kill him!"
The expression on the old phoenix's face was incomparably complicated, sometimes crazed, sometimes clear, sometimes cold, and sometimes pained. At the end of his words, although his voice was still calm, his face was already shrouded in a layer of despair, and the shadows were heavy...
"What?"
Upon hearing this secret, the first thought that came to Kong Kong 'er, Fang Xing, and the others was disbelief.
In reality, this was completely different from the truth of the legend, and was more like the ramblings of that old madman...
However, looking at the expression on the fox girl Xiao Yi's face, they knew that there was still one thing that could be confirmed, and that was that the aura drawn by the green fox ghost face was indeed not pointing to some inheritance, nor was it pointing to some magic treasure, but was pointing to the old phoenix. It was leading the inheritor of the green fox ghost face across the sea of stars to find this old phoenix. Then … what was the reason for this?
"Haha, that old madman, he actually wants me to kill him …"
The old phoenix laughed heartily, his voice containing endless madness. He was obviously crazy enough, but he was scolding the Nine-tailed Fox King for being a madman. "With his ability, he could have stayed on the ship until the end, but he just had to jump off the ship in advance. If he wanted to get off the ship, then he should have gotten off the ship, but why did he want me to stay on the ship? The ship is going to capsize, so what's the point of living for a few more days? Hahahaha, everything is predestined. I regret cutting off the fate of the Supreme Path, the ship is going to capsize anyway, so what's the point of killing the first person who spoke the truth? Even if you found the final despair, you don't have to jump into the sea directly … "
At this time, the more he thought of the past, the crazier the old phoenix became. His speech began to become a little disorderly, and his emotions became even more unstable, scaring the little foxes away one by one. They only wanted to get as far away from this old madman as possible...
However, some of the words that the old phoenix had unintentionally said caused Fang Xing and Kong Kong 'er to be lost in thought.
It seemed that through these words, they had inadvertently thought of something, but they just couldn't connect it.
"Senior, since King Qing Qiu asked us to come find you, he must have some arrangements. I wonder if Senior can tell us?"
After a moment of silence, Kong Kong 'er took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.
"What arrangements did he have?"
The old phoenix seemed to have suddenly been awakened by his question, and his brows furrowed tightly. After a long while, he suddenly came to a realization. "Ah, this old man remembers, he actually had arrangements. When I went through the tenth nirvana, I should have cut off these memories, but this old fox insisted that I remember, causing my spirit to be a little confused. Haha, I remember what arrangements he had made..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes stared straight ahead. "He left behind a key!"
