Mu Qingxiao glanced at Xing Tianming, who had a bright smile on his face. His gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyu as he said, "Of course I have my reasons for saving you. I believe you are also heading to Yun Zhongjun's room. There are a few things I'm interested in."
Since Mu Qingxiao had made himself clear, Xiang Shaoyu did not ask any more questions.
Yu Ji hurriedly said, "We don't know when Yun Zhongjun will return. We need to hurry."
Mu Qingxiao followed behind them as if nothing had happened. Yu Ji arrived at the mark her brother had left behind and said confidently, "The Cloud Pavilion is hidden nearby."
After a short while, they found the mechanism leading to the Cloud Pavilion. The metal stairs descended slowly, and a dark tunnel appeared before their eyes.
After passing through the dark stone tunnel, the door at the end of the tunnel opened automatically, revealing the magnificent Cloud Pavilion.
Before them was a huge bridge made of a special material. Beneath the bridge was a hazy white mist, making them feel like they were in paradise. However, many terrifying and unspeakable secrets were hidden beneath the beautiful exterior.
Looking at the pavilion floating in the air, Mu Qingxiao pursed his lips. How extravagant. There was even a flight of stairs made of gold at the top. Xu Fu really knows how to enjoy life.
Thump! Thump!
At that moment, Mu Qingxiao's heart started beating violently. His pupils constricted, and he clutched his chest with his right hand. He could vaguely sense that something in the Cloud Pavilion was summoning him.
His heart started beating faster and faster, and his blood started boiling. The sudden change caught Mu Qingxiao by surprise. This was a summoning coming from the depths of his soul. It was much more obvious than the phoenix blood earlier.
Could it be …
After recovering from his shock, Mu Qingxiao's expression returned to normal. He pointed at the ceiling and said, "Be careful. This is the Mirage, after all. There are many traps here. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingxiao's figure was like a ghost, completely disappearing from Yu Ji's line of sight.
Xiang Shaoyu and Yuji's eyes were filled with shock. Xing Tianming's eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. How could a living person disappear without a trace? This was even scarier than Yun Zhongjun.
Naturally, they didn't know that when one's cultivation reached a certain level, the speed at which one could move was impossible to be captured by the naked eye of an ordinary person.
.....
.....
At the same time, Mu Qingxiao's figure had already appeared 40 meters below the bridge. Surrounded by white fog, ordinary people would not be able to distinguish north from south, east from west. But to him, it was as if there was nothing.
At this time, his eyes were fixed on a huge block of ice five meters away. The Millennium Frost Ice!
However, what attracted Mu Qingxiao's attention was not the so-called Thousand-year Ice Frost. Instead, it was the huge body that was dozens of feet tall inside the Thousand-year Ice Frost!
It had the head of a chicken, the jaw of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the back of a turtle, and the tail of a fish. It was six feet tall and looked exactly the same as the phoenix at the bottom of the lava pool in the Wind Cloud Plane.
It had a domineering and noble bearing, and its body was covered in golden feathers. It was so lifelike that it could even be said that it was the same phoenix!
Mu Qingxiao had originally planned to look for the Phoenix's whereabouts after leaving the Illusive Mirage. But now, it seemed like he had been searching high and low for it, only to find it by chance.
Speaking of which, if he couldn't even do something like this, Xu Fu wouldn't be the owner of the Mirage.
His heart was beating faster and faster. Mu Qingxiao could clearly feel that his heart was resonating with the soul in the Thousand-year Ice Frost.
"Are you … calling for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory golden phoenix pierced through the Thousand-year Ice Frost. In the blink of an eye, it spread its wings and flew above Mu Qingxiao's head.
After circling him a few times, it sensed the same aura emanating from him. Its crimson phoenix eyes were filled with confusion. Why was there someone of the same race here? Moreover, it was different from him.
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao's body was emitting scorching heat. The blood in his body was boiling, and a golden diamond-shaped crystal that gave off a holy aura gradually appeared in front of his forehead.
Looking at the diamond-shaped crystal in front of Mu Qingxiao's forehead, as well as the holy aura, and the golden phoenix soaring above his head, a hint of human-like shock flashed through its eyes.
After thinking for a moment, the golden phoenix flapped its golden wings and glanced at Mu Qingxiao. Its illusory body returned to its physical body. Immediately after, its massive physical body transformed into golden light and gradually formed a golden ball.
This golden ball was exactly the same as the Phoenix Marrow back then!
Looking at the shimmering golden phoenix marrow that floated before him, Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but reach out and grab it. Immediately after, a wave of information was transmitted into his mind.
The amount of information was extremely terrifying. It contained the golden phoenix's memories for thousands of years. If it weren't for the fact that his mental power had been sufficiently powerful, he might have been turned into an idiot in an instant.
Even so, the impact caused Mu Qingxiao's vision to darken.
"So that's how it is. No wonder it's so different from the phoenix in my memory. A golden phoenix, an ancestral phenomenon … You can leave without worry. I'll definitely kill Xu Fu with my own hands and avenge you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light of the phoenix marrow dissipated, and it turned into an ordinary golden ball. There was nothing special about it.
Holding the phoenix marrow in his hand, Mu Qingxiao couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. A sinister smile appeared on his face. The golden phoenix's information actually contained some of its ancestor's memories.
And these memories were a great treasure to Mu Qingxiao. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he took out a container from his storage space and carefully placed the phoenix marrow in it.
Xu Fu would never have imagined that everything he had done would end up benefiting someone else in the end.
Thinking about how he obtained the phoenix blood and phoenix marrow, Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh at the strangeness of fate. After putting the container into his storage space, he leaped up and returned to the bridge above him.
Mu Qingxiao looked back at the open door and glanced at the mechanical snake above him. It seemed that Xing Tianming and the other two had already entered Xu Fu's laboratory. Since that was the case, Xu Fu must be inside.
The golden phoenix was willing to give up its chance to be reborn to provide him with an opportunity to return to its ancestors. Although the chances were slim, it was still willing to sacrifice its life for him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao's eyes sharpened. No matter what, Xu Fu had to die. This could be considered an explanation to the golden phoenix.
