After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 416 Do you dare to come with me and chop it down again?
"The human race does have its merits."
After a long time, Huo Qinghuang whispered, his eyes still fixed on the ancient picture that was gradually dissipating in the black hole.
Those human ancestors who dared to cut down the immortal trees and block the road to heaven, knew they would die but still swung their swords towards the sky. Even she felt a little shocked by such determination.
Ao Jiu snorted, and golden light shone in his dragon pupils: "It's just like an ant trying to shake a tree. In the end, it still failed, didn't it?"
“But they tried.”
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him sideways, "If it were you, would you dare to swing your sword at the Heavenly Court?"
Ao Jiu paused for a moment, then sneered: "Why would this prince need to swing his sword? If that day really comes, it will be a dragon roaring in the sky, directly overturning the prehistoric heaven!"
Huo Qinghuang sneered and was too lazy to argue with him.
She withdrew her gaze and gently stroked the blade of the Mountain-Trapping Axe with her fingertips, as if she was thinking about something.
Those human ancestors may have been weak, but they dared to do things that even gods and demons dared not think of.
And now, Jianmu wants to make a comeback, using the entire world as a sacrifice...
She suddenly felt that perhaps she should do something.
"Hey, Ao Jiu."
Huo Qinghuang suddenly spoke.
"what?"
Ao Jiu responded impatiently.
"If Jianmu really wants to swallow up this world..."
Huo Qinghuang paused, a sharp smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Do you dare to come with me and chop it again?"
Ao Jiu was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter. The dragon power around him surged, shaking the grass and trees around him.
"Why not?!"
His golden eyes were blazing, and his fighting spirit was boiling. "Just a Jianmu, this prince only needs to use a breath of dragon flame to turn it into ashes!"
Huo Qinghuang snorted lightly and said no more. He turned to face the black hole, and the Mountain-Trapping Axe flipped in his hand, shining with a cold light.
A solemn and murderous aura slowly rose up in the forest, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, even the sound of insects could no longer be heard.
At this almost suffocating moment, a brisk cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Ao Jiu's aura paused and he looked at Huo Qinghuang curiously.
Huo Qinghuang took out his cell phone expressionlessly.
When she saw the caller ID, a strange color flashed in her narrow eyes.
"Hey, Chief Long, what's the matter? Are you asking where I am? Do you want to give me a bonus?"
Huo Qinghuang spoke lazily, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the axe handle.
Long Weihua's deliberately low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Huo, your scheme to defraud spiritual medicine has been exposed. Now both the Taoist and martial arts circles are condemning you two..."
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly.
"What do you mean by that, Director Long? What do you mean by a fraudulent elixir? I have no spiritual energy at all now, and my realm is unstable. Those are what I deserve!"
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes and said righteously.
"Yes, yes, it was Long who said the wrong thing."
Long Weihua quickly changed his words: "Our 749th Bureau is naturally on Miss Huo's side, but there are other sects out there. I know Miss Huo won't take these little things to heart, so I just gave her a reminder."
After a pause, Long Weihua finally revealed his real purpose: "By the way, Miss Huo, the fellow Taoist you are partnering with, is it the one from Changbai Mountain?"
Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ao Jiu, and pretended to be stupid: "Changbai Mountain? Who are you talking about?"
Hearing the word "Changbai Mountain", Ao Jiu's ears moved, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Huo Qinghuang...'s cell phone.
Seeing this, Huo Qinghuang raised a playful smile and deliberately said to the phone: "Director Long, you don't think that the person next to me is the dragon cub from Changbai Mountain, do you?"
Ao Jiu's hair stood on end, and his dragon might burst out, shaking the surrounding trees. "Who is the dragon cub?! This prince is in the prime of his life!"
Long Weihua on the other end of the phone obviously heard the dragon's roar, and a flurry of noise came from the microphone.
Then he apologized with a dry laugh: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Miss Huo, Long was just asking casually. After all, the relationship over at Changbai Mountain is a bit serious..."
Huo Qinghuang sneered: "Why, Director Long is afraid that that person will come down the mountain and tear off the roof of your 749th Bureau?"
“Don’t dare!”
Long Weihua said quickly, "It's just that the whole cultivation world is now saying that that fellow Taoist... ahem, teamed up with you to steal the mountain-guarding elixir of the major sects. Now they are writing a joint letter to ask for an explanation..."
Ao Jiu had good hearing. When he heard this through the phone, he swung his dragon tail and a deep ditch appeared on the ground.
"Ask for an explanation? Let them come! This prince wants to see who dares to come and ask for this 'explanation'!"
He sneered.
Huo Qinghuang lazily picked his ears and said to the phone: "Director Long, you heard it too. My 'Daoyou' has a bad temper. If those sects really dare to come to my house, I can't stop him."
Long Weihua wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Ms. Huo, I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you two to be as quiet as possible. Otherwise, if it's seen by ordinary people or posted online, it will be hard to explain."
"Director Long."
Huo Qinghuang's face suddenly darkened, and he said seriously: "A big change is imminent. How long do you want to keep it secret? If you don't prepare yourself in advance and cause panic, how will you deal with it? Moreover..."
At this point, she glanced at the black hole and finally said, "Let me tell you one more thing. Jianmu will be resurrected and use the blue star as nutrients. If it succeeds, no one will be able to escape. If you don't make arrangements in advance, you will only cry for your parents."
"What?! Jianmu? Resurrection?"
Long Weihua's voice suddenly rose, and the sound of documents scattered all over the floor came from the other end of the line.
"Ms. Huo, are you talking about the sacred tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?!"
Long Weihua's panicked voice came.
Huo Qinghuang tapped the axe with his fingertips, making a crisp metallic sound. "Yes, it's the Jianmu that was cut off by Emperor Zhuanxu. It is now accumulating strength. Oh, it is in the black hole that I reinforced and sealed for you last time..."
As she spoke, she suddenly swung her axe behind her and cut off a green root that was trying to launch a sneak attack.
At the same time, Ao Jiu suddenly stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed a ball of distorted light and shadow from the void.
The light and shadow made a cry like a baby, and it turned out to be the spirit of plants and trees that had developed spiritual consciousness.
The dragon flames in his palm surged, instantly burning it to ashes: "It seems that it can no longer bear it."
There was a rapid keyboard tapping sound from the other end of the phone, and Long Weihua spoke quickly: "I will activate the S-level plan now! Miss Huo, what support do you need? Armed forces or..."
"What's the point of having those pieces of iron? It would be better for you, the director, to come here in person."
Huo Qinghuang sneered.
At this moment, Ao Jiu suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait, did you just dig up a bronze altar in Sanxingdui?"
