But as she walked, the thick gray fog seemed to transform into a maze, trapping Lu Fuyue firmly in place. No matter which way she went, she couldn't find her way out.
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and looked ahead. If things continued like this, time would become increasingly tight, and once she missed the trial period, she might be trapped here forever.
After a moment's thought, her heart sank. It seemed she had no choice but to use the power of her true form.
The Phoenix's primordial power allows these gray mists to carve paths through mountains and build bridges over rivers for her.
Lu Fuyue then formed a hand seal, and countless golden-red flames rose from the ground beneath her feet.
A flash of golden light appeared, and in a daze, golden-red phoenix feathers appeared one after another. Her white dress instantly transformed into a gorgeous yet elegant golden-red phoenix feather dress. The red lotus between her brows became even more lifelike, and a stream of golden-red light flew into her hair, turning into a golden-red phoenix jade hairpin.
The golden-red phoenix lotus divine fire gradually dissipated, and the phoenix bloodline power within Lu Fuyue's body was completely unsealed, making her aura even more unfathomable.
She joined her left index and middle fingers together, circulated her energy, closed her eyes, and wiped her eyes with her hand. A moment later, a warm sensation flowed through her eyes.
Lu Fuyue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. A golden-red phoenix phantom flashed before her eyes and quickly disappeared.
At the same time, golden-red flames formed a lotus bridge in front of her, and the gray mist surrounding her automatically dispersed to both sides, leaving a path leading straight ahead.
Lu Fuyue landed slowly from mid-air and then walked directly out along the avenue.
After regaining her true phoenix form, Lu Fuyue's strength at the early stage of the Golden Core realm is comparable to that of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. She will also be able to control the Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Flame and the power of the phoenix bloodline more easily.
However, she could not reveal it at will, so she could only hide it with secret methods to avoid trouble. After all, the phoenix was a divine beast that had long since disappeared from the Qingyuan Continent.
Once discovered, even the entire Tianxuan Sect cannot protect her.
A moment later, a faint light shone in.
Just as the light grew stronger, at the end of the exit, Yan Nanfei, dressed in red, stood there, waving a jade fan in her hand.
Just then, countless red lotuses appeared out of thin air, forming a lotus bridge. In mid-air, the faint phantom of a phoenix appeared, and the gray mist quickly receded. On the lotus bridge, a woman with an extremely beautiful face suddenly appeared, her golden and red skirt fluttering.
Yan Nanfei paused in his fanning motion, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, followed by a look of shock as he stared at her, "Little Yue'er?"
"you……"
When Lu Fuyue saw the person who had arrived, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Yan Nanfei saw them.
A murderous intent suddenly arose in her heart, but she suppressed it in an instant.
Although she had recovered her Phoenix True Form and her strength was equivalent to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, she was injured. In addition, Yan Nanfei was far superior to her in terms of strength, cultivation, methods, and combat experience.
She must not act rashly.
Moreover, behind Yan Nanfei are the Yan family, the head of the five great families in the cultivation world, and their patriarch...
Yan Nanfei snapped out of his daze and quickly sensed something. He smiled gently, waving the jade fan in his hand, "Come out first, Little Yue'er."
Lu Fuyue glanced at him indifferently, then walked out of the exit without changing her expression. At the same time, the golden and red phoenix feather dress on her body disappeared, and the hair ornaments on her head also disappeared, and she returned to her previous attire.
The lotus bridge, built with the divine fire of the phoenix red lotus, also vanished.
Yan Nanfei held the jade fan to his lips, looking at her with a half-smile, "I didn't expect that Xiaoyue'er would actually have the bloodline of a phoenix. She really is a hidden talent."
"But that golden and red phoenix feather dress you just wore was absolutely gorgeous."
"It matches my red outfit quite well."
"Don't we look like a very loving couple?"
Lu Fuyue turned her head and glanced at him indifferently, "Uncle-Master, be careful with your words, lest you be struck by lightning during your tribulation in the future."
Yan Nanfei was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled, "If I could win the favor of a beauty like Xiaoyue'er, what would it matter if I were struck by lightning?"
Lu Fuyue felt even more disgusted with this person, and unconsciously, she gradually distanced herself from him.
After keeping a considerable distance, Lu Fuyue finally looked up and stared directly at him. "Uncle-Master, why did you suddenly push me down that day?"
Yan Nanfei smiled, the red beauty mark at the corner of his eye becoming even more alluring. "It was just a slip of the hand. Little Yue'er won't think too much of it, will she?"
Lu Fuyue looked at him but did not speak.
Yan Nanfei suddenly closed the jade fan in her hand, a hint of grievance appearing between her brows. "You don't really think I did it on purpose, do you?"
"If it was intentional, then I must have had a purpose, right?"
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes and remained silent.
She knew in her heart whether it was intentional or not.
She was truly puzzled by Yan Nanfei's purpose.
"Little Yue'er, Uncle-Master, I really didn't mean it."
"How about this, I'll keep your secret, and you'll forgive me, okay?"
Lu Fuyue looked up at him and slowly said, "Uncle-Master, are you threatening me?"
Yan Nanfei smiled, looked away, and slowly said, "Look at what you're saying, how did it turn into a threat? It's clearly an equal exchange."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, you don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?"
Lu Fuyue's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched unconsciously. She looked at his figure, her eyes turning cold. "Fine, Uncle-Master."
Yan Nanfei smiled upon hearing this, then suddenly turned around and walked to Lu Fuyue, raising his hand to ruffle her hair. "Little Yue'er, be good."
"Little Yue'er just reverted to her true phoenix form, and she looks so beautiful. Why don't you revert to your true form in the next few days?"
Although he was asking a question, his tone was firm and left no room for argument.
Lu Fuyue's face turned cold, and the hands on her head continued to rub her hair without any restraint, showing no regard for her feelings.
She raised her hand and slapped away the groping hand on her head, took a few steps back, and said calmly, "Uncle-Master, don't forget your place."
"Also, I'm here for a trial, not to be toyed with by you."
Yan Nanfei paused, stopped, and looked at her. "Just kidding."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. "That would be best."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nanfei withdrew his playful smile and became quite serious.
He raised his hand and waved it, and another void gate appeared in front of the two of them.
"Then let's go in."
