"Ah! They're all mine! They're all mine! Don't try to take them from me!"
A somewhat immature but angry voice rang out.
Qin Xin saw that Long Mu had already woken up, his mouth wide open, constantly devouring the mysterious power around him.
The ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg was similar, with its body constantly swirling with a multicolored aura, seemingly vying with the Dragon Wood for that mysterious power.
After Longmu devoured the food in large gulps, and the mysterious power around him disappeared, his small face was filled with rage.
"You scoundrel, how dare you steal my things! I'm going to smash you to pieces and eat you!" Longmu roared as he charged toward the ancient phoenix egg.
The ancient phoenix egg seemed completely unafraid, and the fluctuations emanating from its body seemed more like a provocation.
"Dragonwood is unacceptable." Qin Xin was about to speak up to stop him.
However, Longmu had already held the ancient phoenix egg in his arms and took a bite out of it with his snow-white teeth.
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts so much! You bastard, how can you be so hard?" With a bite on the body of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg, Longmu was in so much pain that he threw the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg away.
The ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg flew up and spun around once, seemingly showing off, before landing back in its previous position.
Qin Xin hadn't expected the ancient phoenix egg to be so sturdy. Seeing Long Mu running around in pain, he couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing the laughter, Long Mu ran over to Qin Xin after seeing him. "Qin Xin, how come you've also entered the Inner Domain? But where is this place? It doesn't seem to be the Inner Domain."
Longmu looked puzzled.
Qin Xin told Huo Sheng about how he had been asked to come find him, and also told him about how he had almost been petrified by that mysterious power.
Upon hearing this, Longmu stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought. "It does seem to be true, but I seem to be trapped in a very, very long memory, where countless old men keep nagging me about things. It's really annoying."
Then Long Mu looked at the ancient phoenix egg next to him and said with a wicked smile, "Qin Xin, aren't you an alchemist? Why don't you refine this scoundrel? It's a great tonic."
Seeing Long Mu's wicked grin, Qin Xin rolled his eyes at him.
However, seeing the mysterious power covering the ancient phoenix egg and forming crystals around it, as if it had begun to protect itself, Qin Xin was somewhat surprised, feeling that the ancient phoenix egg seemed to understand their conversation.
"I think this egg is definitely rotten. Why don't we open it and take a look?"
Longmu kept pestering Qin Xin, wanting to open the ancient phoenix egg.
Qin Xin was focused on recovering his internal energy and didn't pay any attention to him for the time being.
The dragonwood did not give up. It somehow produced all sorts of weapons and kept hitting the ancient phoenix egg, but eventually returned empty-handed with its head down.
Having fully recovered his true energy, Qin Xin, holding Long Mu's hand, left the futon space with a thought.
As soon as he appeared on the throne, Qin Xin saw Ming Ningzhu being knocked away below and rushed forward to catch her.
"Qin Xin!"
A surprised voice rang out, followed by a chilling tone, "What a small world! I didn't expect you to deliver yourself right to my doorstep!"
Looking at the man carrying the long sword, Qin Xin's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Jinglei, it's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!"
"Qin Xin, be careful. This Lin Jinglei is already at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm. The long sword behind him is a bit strange." Ming Ningzhu quickly reminded him after regaining her footing.
Qin Xin was slightly surprised and asked, "Sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm?"
He hadn't expected Lin Jinglei to improve so quickly, but now he had no fear of Lin Jinglei. With the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern and his Spirit Form Realm cultivation, Qin Xin was able to fight him.
Long Mu, who had been standing nearby, tugged at Qin Xin's robe and said, "Qin Xin, do you want me to beat him up for you?"
Seeing how simple-minded Long Mu was, Qin Xin said softly, "You just need to hold off the people behind him. Leave Lin Jinglei to me!"
"Finally, we can fight! Great! You little punks, come on over here!" Long Mu said provocatively, pointing at the group behind Lin Jinglei with his hands on his hips.
Longmu's provocation was met with ridicule from several people, because in their eyes, Longmu was just a little kid who posed no threat whatsoever.
"ah!"
After a cry of pain, someone shouted, "Brothers, kill this guy!"
In an instant, Longmu engaged in combat with the group and held his own. Ming Ningzhu, on Qin Xin's side, was only a hindrance. Although somewhat unwilling, she followed Qin Xin's instructions and went to help Longmu.
"I really don't understand why the teacher is so determined to kill you. You only won last time because you were lucky."
"But I must say, you're quite the troublemaker, actually provoking the Second Prince. After I kill you this time, I can go and ask for a reward. Who knows, the Second Prince might be so pleased that he'll grant me a title."
Listening to Lin Jinglei's mutterings, Qin Xin felt a headache coming on and lightly scolded, "You still talk as much nonsense as before."
Qin Xin wasn't surprised that Xia Qi, as Lin Jinglei had mentioned, wanted to kill him, since the two had some friction. However, Qin Xin had no idea why Jia Yan would ask Lin Jinglei to kill him, as the two seemed to have no connection.
"Hmph!" Seeing Qin Xin's disdainful expression, Lin Jinglei's face also showed anger. His palms moved rapidly, and the long sword behind him rose up. Under the flashing fiery red light, Lin Jinglei's eyes turned somewhat bloodshot. "Netherworld Sword, appear!"
"Qin Xin, you will be the first person to die by my complete Netherworld Sword!"
"Dry tongue!" Qin Xin activated the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, and the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff slowly appeared in his hand. With a thought, it transformed into a three-foot-long sword.
Lin Jinglei was slightly surprised by the changes in the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff in Qin Xin's hand, but after discovering that the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff seemed to have no other changes besides transforming into a sword, a smile appeared on his lips, "Playing tricks!"
No sooner had the voice fallen than Lin Jinglei, wielding the Netherworld Sword, swiftly attacked. The Netherworld power flowing from the sword, mixed with terrifying strength, made Qin Xin dare not be careless in the slightest.
Holding the Nine Flames Immortal Sword horizontally in front of him, the Yang Fire adhered to it under the activation of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern.
"bite!"
The clash of the longswords produced a crisp metallic sound.
The Yang fire on the Nine Flames Immortal Sword instantly intertwined with the Netherworld power on Lin Jinglei's Netherworld Sword.
The intertwining of yin and yang forces instantly unleashed a massive explosion.
"Bang!"
Both of them retreated rapidly, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked at each other.
