"That person seems to be...Senior Ji...Ji...Ji from the Supreme Ocean Palace."
Xia Yuanba swallowed hard, pulled Yun Che, and prepared to take a detour, but he saw Yun Che pause for a moment and then took the initiative to walk over.
“Ah ah… Brother-in-law…” Xia Yuanba tried to pull but failed, and stared blankly at Yun Che as he walked towards Ji Qianrou, who in his eyes was more terrifying than an ancient ferocious beast.
"The smell of Phoenix City is really disgusting. This dry and burning feeling is the biggest enemy of my perfect skin. The only thing that can be called beautiful is this gorgeous phoenix flower. Unfortunately, even the most beautiful flowers will eventually wither, just like my face that is more beautiful than the phoenix flower. There will always be a day when I will age. The rules of this world are always so cruel... Don't you agree, Xiao Cheche?"
Two petals gently fell from between his fingers, and the figure under the Phoenix tree also turned around, revealing a handsome and enchanting face. His eyes, which looked at Yun Che, were as charming as delicate flowers.
Such a face, coupled with such eyes, undoubtedly has an incomparable killing power, but Yun Che was not moved at all, and walked forward without changing his expression: "Junior Yun Che, meet Senior Ji, thank you for speaking for me earlier."
"Senior Ji?" Ji Qianrou's snow-white sleeves fluttered, and she lifted her long hair charmingly: "I hate being called senior the most. Look at how young and beautiful she is, and she's only 600 years older than you. How can she be your senior? If you call me senior again, I'll be angry."
"...Then, I wonder what I should call you, junior."
Ji Qianrou narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "You can call me Qianrou, or you can call me Xiao Qianqian, Xiao Rourou... Xiao Jiji is also fine."
“…” Although Yun Che tried his best to remain calm, his throat was already twitching noticeably. He remained silent for a long while, not knowing how to continue.
"You don't need to thank me. I'm only speaking for you because I think you're... not bad." Ji Qianrou's eyes slowly swept over Yun Che's body from top to bottom. Her eyes were charming and made Yun Che's skin crawl instantly. He originally wanted to say a few more words to Ji Qianrou, but now he had completely changed his mind and wanted to run away.
Yun Che said quickly: “In any case, Senior Ji’s words of justice are of great importance to me. I would like to ask if Senior Ji has been suffering from a special kind of toad poison in recent years… I have some knowledge of medicine, so I have seen some clues, but I don’t know if they are accurate.”
“Oh?” Ji Qianrou narrowed her eyes, stared at Yun Che, and then said in a soft voice: “Two hundred years ago, I accidentally encountered an ugly big toad. I hate this kind of ugly thing the most, so I killed it cleanly. I didn’t expect that I would be contaminated by its disgusting venom again.” Ji Qianrou stretched out a finger and looked at the faint black line at the tip of her finger: “So, not only should you not look at ugly things, you should not even touch them.”
Yun Che said: “The toad poison that Senior Ji was poisoned with is a type of soul-binding toad poison. It is attached to the heart and soul and is produced when it encounters blood. Therefore, it is definitely not something that can be forced out by conventional methods. With Senior Ji’s powerful profound strength, this toad poison certainly has no chance of violently attacking, but it is also a big trouble…”
“I have some accomplishments in detoxification. This detoxification pill may be of help to Senior Ji.” As Yun Che spoke, he took out a pill that he had prepared before and infused it with the purification power of the Sky Poison Pearl. He originally wanted to hand it to Ji Qianrou, but after taking a look at Ji Qianrou’s palm, he thought for a moment and chose to just raise his hand and throw it over.
Ji Qianrou bent her fingers and pinched it between them.
“Junior, take your leave.” Yun Che bowed and then left as if escaping.
The medicinal pill in her hand was as green as jade. Holding it in her hand, she could feel a refreshing breath all over her body. Ji Qianrou glanced at Yun Che's back, sniffed the scent of the pill, then slightly opened her lips and held the pill in her mouth.
I wandered around Phoenix City with Xia Yuanba and listened to him talk about the Imperial Holy Land. When we returned to the courtyard, night had already fallen. The light in Master Gu Cang's room was dim, and it seemed that he should rest.
Yun Che returned to his room. When he closed the door, his brows twitched and he felt a vague sense of disharmony in his heart.
Someone has been in the room!
Back in the Cangyun Continent, he was hunted almost every day and night, and had already developed an extremely abnormal anti-hunting ability. He could tell at a glance whether the place where he temporarily stayed had been touched after he left... Later, even before his eyes could see anything unusual, his spiritual sense could directly detect some kind of inconsistency that the naked eye could not see.
Yun Che suddenly became alert. This was the VIP area of Phoenix City. Outsiders could not enter, not even Phoenix disciples. There were only him, Xia Yuanba, and Master Gu Cang here. Xia Yuanba and he left together, so Master Gu Cang had no reason to come here... Who could have come in?
Yun Che frowned, and scanned every corner of the room carefully, but he didn't find anything that would attract attention. After thinking for a while, he walked to the bedside, and just as he was about to lie down, his eyes suddenly fell on the pillow.
He stretched out his hand and quickly took the pillow away... Under the pillow, there lay a bundle of emerald green jade slips.
This is……
Yun Che was absolutely sure that there was no such jade slip in this place before. Because after choosing a room with Xia Yuanba, he had specially checked the bed for the sake of caution.
Yun Che frowned, reached out his hand and picked up the jade slip, then carefully opened it.
As the first piece of jade on the jade slip unfolded, four extremely clear words came into Yun Che’s eyes:
Phantom Lightning!
“Illusionary Lightning Extreme!?” Yun Che exclaimed in a low voice.
This is actually the unique inheritance of the Hua Minghai family, known as the number one body movement skill in the Tianxuan realm, the Phantom Lightning Extreme! !
The person who came here was Hua Minghai? How did he know that I lived in this room? And why did he put this jade slip with the Phantom Lightning Extreme inscribed on it here?
Hua Minghai's profound strength was only at the late stage of the Profound Sky Realm, but with the "Illusionary Lightning Extreme", he became the famous "Ghost Thief Saint" in the Profound Sky Realm, and could even enter and leave the Phoenix Divine Sect safely. Even when several Overlords joined forces, they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. This made Yun Che covet the "Illusionary Lightning Extreme" to the extreme, but when he saved Ru Xiaoya and expressed this intention to Hua Minghai, he was rejected by Hua Minghai.
Because that was the soul mystical skill of their Hua family, it must not be passed on to others. Hua Minghai even said that apart from this request, he could agree to any other request.
But now, this jade slip engraved with the profound formula of "Phantom Lightning Extreme" has appeared here on its own initiative!
"It seems that the man named Hua Minghai wants you to owe him a big favor." Jasmine said lightly.
Yun Che had personally witnessed the power of the "Illusionary Lightning Extreme", and now it was right in front of him, but Yun Che did not continue to turn over the first piece of jade. Hua Minghai had previously refused his request to practice the Illusionary Lightning Extreme out of guilt after he saved Ru Xiaoya, but now, not many days later, he actually offered it to him, and sent it silently, not only did he not give it to him in person, but he did not even leave a note.
Jasmine was absolutely right. If he cultivated the Phantom Lightning Pole, he would owe Hua Minghai a big favor. On the other hand, Hua Minghai took the initiative to deliver the Phantom Lightning Pole to him just to make him owe him this favor.
“It seems that after watching my performance in the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament, he wanted to use my power to help him achieve a certain goal.” Yun Che said after pondering for a while.
"Then why didn't he give it to you in person?" Jasmine said.
Yun Che said calmly, “First, my current strength is not enough. He values my potential and believes that I will have such ability in the future. Second, he thinks that I will definitely refuse if he tells me in person, so he chose this method and directly sent me a huge temptation without asking for anything. If I can’t resist the temptation and practice Phantom Lightning, then I will owe him a favor, and it may be difficult to refuse him at that time. On the other hand, I may also be considered a member of the Hua family because of this Phantom Lightning.”
"So, it seems that you already know his purpose."
“That’s about right.” Yun Che said, “Hua Minghai’s family was destroyed by the Sun Moon Divine Palace. With Hua Minghai’s ability, he can save his life, but revenge is impossible. So he should want to borrow my power when I am strong enough in the future. However, the Sun Moon Divine Palace is a supreme holy place that is feared by everyone, and they have no grudges against me. Hua Minghai should not be so naive as to think that I can attack the Sun Moon Divine Palace in the future with just a ‘Phantom Lightning Pole’... What does he mean? Or in other words, where does he get this confidence from?”
"Then do you want to practice it? This Phantom Lightning Extreme is not very useful to you in battle, but it is extremely powerful if you use it to travel or escape. It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest body movement technique on this continent."
Yun Che thought about it for a moment, then closed the jade slip and placed it in the Sky Poison Pearl. “Although it is very tempting to me, it is better for me not to practice until I see Hua Minghai next time. I will not care about this matter for now. I will board the mysterious Primordial Profound Ark tomorrow morning… But I always feel that this journey will be accompanied by huge risks. The Primordial Profound Ark is the perfect place for the Divine Phoenix Sect to plot against me.”
“If you retreat when you sense risk, you will never have a real breakthrough, and you won’t be where you are today.” Jasmine said coldly, “The Primordial Profound Ark is the only thing on this continent that interests me. You must take me up there! With my soul power, I might be able to sense the secrets inside in an instant.”
“Got it.” Yun Che twisted his mouth: “In order to increase the possibility of survival, I must first get enough rest… and sleep!”

Phoenix Divine Sect.
"metropolitan."
Feng Feiyan passed through the night and came behind Feng Hengkong.
Feng Hengkong turned around, his calm face showing a slightly gloomy expression. He faced Feng Hengkong and said in a very low voice: "Tomorrow on the Taikoo Profound Ark will be the best time to kill Yun Che. Do you understand what I mean?"
Feng Feiyan's eyebrows moved, and then she nodded slowly: "I thought the Sect Master really let Yun Che go. Yun Che must not be left alive, especially his future, which is a dangerous variable that no one can predict. Sect Master, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to take action on the Taikoo Xuanzhou tomorrow. With the special spatial laws of the Taixuan Xuanzhou, after killing Yun Che, no trace will be left... Or, I can do it myself!"
"Yeah." Feng Hengkong nodded.
“Master, will Xue’er board the Primordial Mysterious Ark with us tomorrow?” Feng Feiyan asked.
"That's right. The Ancient Profound Ark appears once every three hundred years. If you miss this time, you will have to wait another three hundred years. Of course, I have to bring Xue'er to see it. Xue'er herself is also interested in the Ancient Profound Ark. Although the Ancient Profound Ark is mysterious and strange, it is not too dangerous. What's more, I and the elders are here." Feng Hengkong said.
Feng Feiyan nodded: "I hope we can gain something from tomorrow's Xuanzhou trip. If the Sect Master has nothing else to do, I will withdraw."
Feng Feiyan's voice fell, and her figure slowly disappeared into the night.
