Chapter 93 Demon Lord 093%
When Chao Yuan was still Xie Qingxun, Di Shu had the highest cultivation level among his four disciples, and Mo Xuanxiao had the worst.
Qu Yaoyao had never seen Huang Ying fight, nor did she know what her level of cultivation was. Only when she actually fought with her did Qu Yaoyao realize how strong an opponent Huang Ying was. The two swords collided with each other, making a sharp scraping sound, which made Qu Yaoyao's palm numb and the wound on her wrist cracked and bled.
Qu Yaoyao was determined to go to Gunan City, not only for Mo Xuanxiao and Chao Yuan, but also for herself.
When she is determined to do something, she will give it her all without leaving any room for compromise. With a hundred years of cultivation and the help of Lian Chao, after dozens of moves, Qu Yaoyao gritted her teeth and forced Huang Ying back, leaving a long sword wound on her arm.
The snow started falling again without me noticing.
Huang Ying covered her arm and stepped back, the bright red blood blooming like plum blossoms on the snowy surface.
"You lose." Qu Yaoyao raised her sword, glanced at the wound on Huang Ying's arm, and looked away. "Let me go. I don't want to be your enemy."
Huang Ying smiled inexplicably.
Whether it was because Qu Yaoyao had hurt her, or because of her sincere and harmless words of "I don't want to be hostile," Huang Ying didn't insist this time and easily said, "Okay."
She said, "Go away."
Qu Yaoyao couldn't believe it, "Are you serious?"
"Don't want to leave?" Huang Ying pretended to step forward and grab her. "If you don't want to leave, then let me complete the task."
Qu Yaoyao quickly dodged, retreating cautiously. She retreated more than a dozen steps at a time, while Huang Ying stood there watching her, her bloodstained yellow skirt fluttering gently, a look of unique loneliness and desolation.
Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to let her guard down and just watched her retreat to the city gate. She turned around and ran into the crowd very quickly. When she hurriedly turned her head back, Huang Ying was still standing there looking at her, not moving.
Qu Yaoyao left.
After exchanging a few quick moves with her and being injured by her, Huang Ying let her go obediently without any conspiracy or intrigue.
After Qu Yaoyao completely disappeared in Yingxian City, she blinked slightly and came back to her senses. Perhaps because they were somewhat similar, every time she stared at Qu Yaoyao, she could always see another person through her shadow.
...I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and let her do whatever she wanted.
"Hiss..." Huang Ying moved his arm and lowered his eyes to see that the entire cuff was soaked with blood.
The little girl really didn't care how hard she hurt people. She had a sword in her hand and didn't know how to restrain it. She had no idea what kind of power this sword actually contained.
"Lian Chao." Huang Ying whispered the name softly and couldn't help but think of some past events that she didn't want to recall.
Looking at the pool of blood mixed with the snow on the ground, she laughed after a long while, "As expected——"
"The more precious something is, the more it hurts."
It was painful enough to hurt her, so you can imagine how painful it must have been when Chong'an stabbed Chao Yuan through Qu Yaoyao's hand.
Something rustled in the bushes. Huang Ying glanced at it and said calmly, "Come out."
“…”
Qu Yaoyao caught up with the group of Miaowu disciples and wanted to travel with them.
The group of Miaowu disciples were also very enthusiastic. When they learned that Qu Yaoyao was also a cultivator, they easily took her on the ship heading to Gunan City. During the journey, they also told her about the current situation of Gunan City.
"The mysterious vortex appeared too suddenly, engulfing the city on the island in an instant, and even stripped away all life on the island.
Qu Yaoyao learned a lot about Gu Nan City from the disciples of Miao Wu Sect.
Gunan City is the only large city on Gunan Island. The island boasts stunning scenery and is surrounded by spiritual energy. Gunan Island is also the largest and most prosperous of all the islands. At this point, Ah Jiang, the Miao-Wu female disciple sharing Qu Yaoyao's story, offered a lingering question: "Do you know why so few cultivators cultivate in such a beautiful place?"
"Why?" Qu Yaoyao didn't know. After taking off her veil, she held her chin and looked at Ah Jiang opposite her, her big eyes full of confusion.
Ah Jiang was very satisfied with Qu Yaoyao's flattery and continued, "Although Gunan Island is surrounded by spiritual energy, spiritual energy cannot be used within a radius of 100 miles. It is a very special island."
In other words, cultivators cannot fly here on their swords. There seems to be a special barrier on the island that absorbs all spiritual energy approaching it. Often, cultivators fall into the sea due to loss of spiritual energy before they can reach the shore.
Therefore, if you want to go to Gunan Island, you can only take a boat. Starting from Yingxian City is the closest location to Gunan Island, but it will take three days and three nights, and it will take even longer if you encounter external forces such as waves.
"So, the people living on Gunan Island are all ordinary people without any cultivation?"
"That's right." Ah Jiang nodded and sighed, "Although Gunan Island is rich in spiritual energy, cultivators who enter the island are unable to use magic. They can only watch helplessly as the spiritual energy fills the island. Over time, only civilians remain on the island. Because the scenery is so beautiful, it often attracts foreign tourists to visit."
It was such a prosperous and peaceful island, but a few days ago, it suddenly suffered a huge change. The emergence of a mysterious vortex destroyed the prosperity of the entire island.
Qu Yaoyao asked: "When did the secret vortex appear?"
"I don't know either." Ah Jiang was afraid that Qu Yaoyao would say she was uninformed, so she quickly patted her chest and explained, "I don't know, and no one else knows either."
She was right. The vortex in the secret realm appeared silently, and because cultivators rarely visited it, no one knew when it appeared and swallowed the city. It was only two days ago that the vortex in the secret realm expanded and affected the sky at sea, causing even the sea to become turbulent and rainy. Only then did cultivators notice the problem.
"Before this news spread, I heard that many cultivators who went there to explore the path had died, and that the vortex in the secret realm was showing signs of expanding. Yesterday, a vortex storm appeared on the sea surface, sweeping away all the ships passing by."
Because the impact there was getting bigger and bigger, and it concerned the lives of the people in an entire city, the news spread more and more widely and alarmed the immortal sects in the upper realm, so they sent disciples to rescue and check.
The Miaowu Sect is the most well-informed sect in the Western Regions and is also one of the few sects that practice immortal cultivation. When Gunan Island was in trouble, their leader was concerned about the people and sent them out to reinforce and allow them to broaden their horizons and gain some experience.
Qu Yaoyao spent half a day with them and found that they were a group of very pure and lovely cultivators.
Ah Jiang was the youngest of the disciples. She wore a black robe adorned with jingling magical instruments and ornaments, and had black lips and purple eyes with a mischievous smile. She looked fierce and difficult to get along with, but in reality, she was simple and a bit talkative. When she first saw Qu Yaoyao's face, she snorted coldly and was a bit unhappy. After a while, she took the initiative to talk to her, and now she was holding her hand tightly, chattering non-stop.
"I'll tell you another secret, you definitely don't know it." There were not only followers of the Miaowu Sect on the ship. Because the ship was heading to Nangu Island, the ship was full of practitioners from different sects.
Glancing carefully around, Ah Jiang leaned close to Qu Yaoyao's ear and whispered, "Not all of these cultivators are here to rescue people. Rumor has it that this secret realm was formed naturally by tearing through the void, and then devoured the city and sucked up all the spiritual energy on the island. That's why the secret realm is full of spiritual energy and natural treasures. Some of them are here to steal the treasures."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know this news.
"The secret realm was not formed naturally..." she said subconsciously.
Ah Jiang exclaimed: "How do you know?"
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth, not ready to tell her about the Kunlun Stone, so she thought and slowly explained: "There are many reasons for the formation of secret realms, but there has never been a case of a natural secret realm swallowing up a city or absorbing external spiritual energy."
"You just said that Gunan Island itself is a special island. Practitioners who approach it cannot use magic. So have you ever thought that perhaps there is something suppressed under this island?"
There are traces of the appearance of the secret vortex on the island. Qu Yaoyao guessed that it was because the Kunlun Stone under the island sensed the splicing of the other stones that it was affected and broke out of the ground.
"That makes sense." Ah Jiang was persuaded by Qu Yaoyao.
"If it's really as you said, then the claim that there are treasures in the secret place on the island is fake, and the danger is real."
This is also what Qu Yaoyao is worried about.
After this reflection, Qu Yaoyao thought again about Huang Ying's initiative to guide the Miao Wu Sect, and suddenly felt that she hadn't done it out of kindness, but rather deliberately. Knowing that the secret realm was the Kunlun Stone and Chao Yuan had already gone to retrieve it, she still chose to guide the way. This could only mean that Chao Yuan had instructed her to do so. Chao Yuan knew the dangers within the Kunlun Stone and wanted to use it to eliminate them.
In this way, the news that there are rare treasures hidden in the secret realm of the island should have been released by the demon world.
Qu Yaoyao felt uneasy and couldn't help but grab the Qiankun bag hanging around her waist.
She had already sensed the danger of this journey.
.
This is the last large ship bound for Gunan City. Because the boatman cares about the people of Gunan City, he risks his life to send them to the island. The cultivators also promise to keep them safe along the way.
The first two days were peaceful, but on the third day, waves began to appear on the sea, the sky in the distance was covered with dark clouds, and wind and rain began to blow.
There were no people from the Wanmen Xian Sect or the demon world on the ship. Qu Yaoyao put on a veiled hat and stood by the side of the ship, looking at the black clouds in the distance in a daze, letting the wind and rain blow on her.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew the veil on her head over. Qu Yaoyao was about to reach out to get it back, but a faster hand helped her stabilize the veil. A Jiang's senior brother Yi Qing appeared behind her and smiled shyly at her.
Yi Qing was the disciple who asked them for directions at the beginning. His style was different from A Jiang. Although Yi Qing was also dressed in black, the only thing that was complicated was the belt around his waist with a few treasures hanging on it. His whole body was neat and simple, with wheat-colored skin and regular facial features. Although his lips were dark, they were not as dark as A Jiang's.
"Are you okay?" Yi Qing is introverted and not good at talking to others.
Qu Yaoyao thanked him and put on her veil. At this time, Ah Jiang popped up from behind Yi Qing, stuck out her tongue and asked, "You are so beautiful, why do you always wear a veil?"
Qu Yaoyao finally understood where Ah Jiang's initial hostility towards her came from. She rarely heard anyone praise her so directly. She curled her lips and thought carefully before replying, "I wear a veil hat for convenience."
In fact, she was afraid that someone she didn't know would recognize her identity.
Ah Jiang dragged out a long tone and said with disdain, "You are so boring. You should have replied at this time, 'It's because you are so beautiful that you have to cover it with a veil, for fear that other girls will see it and get jealous'."
Qu Yaoyao didn't expect someone to say that. She tilted her head and said obediently, "Okay, I'll say that next time."
"You're talking nonsense again." Yi Qing smiled more and pinched Ah Jiang's face. He apologized to Qu Yaoyao: "This girl is used to speaking without restraint. Miss Qu, please don't take it seriously."
It was obvious how simple Qu Yaoyao's personality was. Yi Qing was really afraid that she would believe Ah Jiang's words and tell them out loud to get herself into trouble.
"Miss Qu, you don't know that the last girl who listened to her nonsense was beaten up."
"How could I not do that? Senior brother, stop slandering me!" Ah Jiang's cheek was pinched and hurt, and she bared her teeth and tried to grab Yi Qing's face.
Only in front of Ah Jiang would Yi Qing's restrained emotions open up a bit, playing with Ah Jiang like a child. Qu Yaoyao saw the drowning indulgence in Yi Qing's eyes, and let Ah Jiang jump up and down and hit him a few times. He sighed and said, "Who would dare to marry you in the future if you are so naughty?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? Who was it that said when you were little that you would marry me when you grow up? And now you're starting to despise me?"
Yi Qing raised an eyebrow, "Then who said you don't want to marry a man from the Western Regions? You fantasize every day about an immortal king in flowing black robes descending from the sky to marry you?"
"Which immortal in the upper realm have you seen wearing flowing black clothes?"
"How come there's nothing!" Ah Jiang said, dragging Qu Yaoyao into the battle. "Yaoyao is the fairy from the upper realm. If you don't believe me, ask her if there are any handsome immortals in the upper realm with flowing black clothes and black lips?"
Qu Yaoyao was speechless. She looked at Ah Jiang and then at Yi Qing, unsure which side to support. To be honest, she had never seen any immortal king with flowing black robes or black lips, but the demon world did have many such great demons.
Bang--
As if intending to rescue Qu Yaoyao, the sea surface rolled up layers of waves, causing the ship to shake violently.
"Be careful." Yi Qing quickly took Ah Jiang into his arms, with his back leaning heavily against the cabin.
There was no one to protect Qu Yaoyao, so she could only stagger to steady herself. The veil on her head fell down again, and she stumbled and held onto the cabin wall, revealing her beautiful face that looked pale and helpless.
Ah Jiang and Yi Qing were both stunned. Ah Jiang quickly broke free from Yi Qing's embrace and went to support Qu Yaoyao's hand while scolding Yi Qing, "You stupid fool, did the lesson the master taught you get eaten by dogs?"
Yi Qing felt guilty and looked at Qu Yaoyao apologetically. At the critical moment, he instinctively chose the person he cared about most.
"It's okay." Qu Yaoyao completely understood and even felt a little envious.
Seeing the wind and waves getting stronger, the three of them followed the crowd back to the cabin. Qu Yaoyao whispered to Ah Jiang, "It's a rare thing to have someone's heart beating and eyes only on you. You must cherish it."
Ah Jiang knew what she was referring to. Her face turned red and she said stubbornly, "He is just stupid. How can he only have eyes for me?"
Qu Yaoyao smiled but said nothing. Perhaps she didn't understand before, but after she experienced love and the ups and downs of life, she realized how rare and difficult this kind of feeling was. As a bystander, she felt not only envy but also sadness.
It was rainy and dark in the cabin. Everyone gathered together and talked about their own things. They were in a very bad mood because of the turbulent sea.
Ah Jiang took Qu Yaoyao's hand and returned to her small cabin. They had been sleeping together for the past two days and their relationship was getting better and better.
After learning Qu Yaoyao's name, she called out "Yaoyao" over and over again, stopping Yi Qing at the door. She curiously asked, "Yaoyao, do you have someone you like?"
Qu Yaoyao blinked and answered honestly without hiding anything: "Yes."
"Then what kind of person is he? You are a fairy from the upper realm, and you are so beautiful. He must be the handsome immortal king in the storybooks, right?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head, not knowing how to respond.
Since Ah Jiang trusted her and was willing to tell her everything, she wouldn't deliberately hide anything from her. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "He was indeed the immortal with fluttering white robes in the storybooks, but he wasn't anymore."
Ah Jiang cried out, and simply ignored Qu Yaoyao's address of "Immortal Lord", thinking it was just a slip of the tongue.
There are no more Immortal Lords in the world of cultivating immortals, only one descendant of the divine dragon, Xuan Yao Tianzun.
"And then?" Ah Jiang listened fascinated.
Qu Yaoyao said, "He has a bad temper and is always busy. He has never fought with me like you and Yi Qing did."
"Sometimes I feel like he has me in his eyes, and sometimes I feel like the emotions in his eyes are too deep, and there are too many secrets. To him, I am just a tiny speck of dust that can be discarded at will for his secrets."
Ah Jiang was silent. She thought it was a sweet love story, but she didn't expect it to be so sad and bitter.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is that Immortal Lord good-looking?"
"Very handsome." Qu Yaoyao thought about Chao Yuan's face and described it carefully. "It was very handsome before, and it's even more handsome now."
Who doesn’t love a handsome man? Ah Jiang became envious when she heard this.
She made up another excuse, "Is he powerful? Is his cultivation high?"
"Very powerful, his cultivation is unfathomable. I am nothing in front of him."
"Then..." Ah Jiang couldn't hold it in any longer.
He was stunningly handsome, and his cultivation was profound and powerful. She couldn't bear to give up such a man, "But liking someone doesn't mean you have to suffer."
Ah Jiang advised her, "If he treats you badly, you shouldn't like him no matter how good he looks. There are so many men in the world, why bother sticking with just one!"
But the reason Qu Yaoyao transformed was for him. For a long time, Qu Yaoyao felt that she existed only for Xie Qingxun.
She was really confused now, and couldn't help but ask Ah Jiang, "What does it feel like to like someone?"
"It's a bit sour, but not too sour. After the sourness wears off, it turns sweet." Ah Jiang responded seriously for once, stroking his chin and saying, "I miss him when I can't see him, and I feel at ease when I see him. I trust him completely, knowing that no matter what I do, he will stand behind me and watch over me unconditionally. If you stumble, he will reach out to help you. He puts you first. And the most important thing..."
Ah Jiang seemed to recall something and said with a smile, "He would risk his own life for you. In the vastness of all things, love may be insignificant, but it is unique."
She and the world are stubborn and devoted.
But Qu Yaoyao had never experienced what Ah Jiang said.
The cabin was still shaking violently, and amidst the roar of the waves, Ah Jiang didn't hear Qu Yaoyao's last words: "He probably loves me too little, and I don't love him enough."
Otherwise, how could he be willing to abandon her and let her die in the red lotus fire.
Just hearing about such an ending made Qu Yaoyao feel panic, so how could she trust him and feel at ease with his presence?
The closer we got to Gunan Island, the stronger the sea became. Torrential rain pounded the deck, and the boat rocked unsteadily in the waves, and the boatman lost control several times.
Fortunately, on the fourth day, the ship successfully docked at Gunan Island. There were already more than a dozen large ships parked on the shore. Qu Yaoyao found the logo of Wanmen Xianzong on one of the ships. It seemed that Mo Xuanxiao and others had already entered.
Then...what about Chao Yuan?
Qu Yaoyao looked at each ship one by one and saw that the ship in the front was the most luxurious and exquisite. It was covered with wet red curtains, which looked very much like the work of Chao Yuan.
"Yaoyao, what are you looking at? Let's go in." A Jiang came over and called her.
Noticing the eye-catching first ship at the front, she muttered, "What kind of a move is this for being the first ship to arrive on the island? It's too grandiose."
Qu Yaoyao didn't respond, but followed the Miaowu Sect members into the island thoughtfully.
The vortex in the secret realm is still expanding. A pitch-black mass is hovering over the sea and has already swallowed up most of the island.
Qu Yaoyao and her companions were the last group of cultivators to enter the island. As they walked along, they saw that the island was withered, dry and cracked, lifeless. The sea water occasionally hit the edge, and the entire island was silent and lifeless.
As excited as these cultivators were when they first arrived, they were now disheartened and nervous upon reaching the island. The exhausting days of boating had already drained their energy, and now upon arriving at Gunan Island and seeing the vortex in person, they realized just how terrifying and immense it truly was.
The secret vortex floats on the sea and connects to the sky. In the rainy weather, it is no exaggeration to say that it blocks out the sun.
It was like a huge mouth that tore through the void out of thin air, devouring everything that approached it. Everyone stared at the slowly spinning center of the vortex, feeling terrified in their hearts. Even cultivators who could go to heaven and earth would still have an instinctive fear of the unknown mysterious power.
"It looks so dangerous in there." Ah Jiang was also frightened. She hugged Yi Qing's arm and asked worriedly, "Will we die in there, or will we be unable to get out if we go in?"
Yi Qing's expression was not good either. He patted Ah Jiang's back soothingly and suggested, "Why don't you and Miss Qu wait outside first, and we'll go in and explore the way first."
Before Ah Jiang could refuse, Qu Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I don't have much time left. I have to go in."
Regardless of whether she should try to steal the Kunlun Stone, she must at least find Mo Xuanxiao first and tell him that there is a trap in the secret realm to ensure the safety of this group of cultivators.
Ah Jiang looked at Qu Yaoyao with some admiration. Seeing that her expression was normal and not much changed, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Not really." Strangely enough, Qu Yaoyao really didn't feel too frightened by this secret place. Instead, she felt somewhat familiar with it.
...It must be because she has the Kunlun Stone in her hand.
Qu Yaoyao didn't care about anything else and entered the secret realm before everyone else. Before leaving, she warned, "This secret realm is extremely dangerous. There might be demons and monsters at work here. Please proceed with caution."
Some cultivators came sincerely to save people and did not care about their own lives, while some cultivators came to look for treasures. They just felt that Qu Yaoyao deliberately said such words to make them retreat. Even though she said in person that she was Fairy Yaolian, few people took her words to heart.
As she entered the secret realm, everyone followed her into the vortex.
Ah Jiang stamped her feet and hurried in, "Yaoyao, at least wait for us!"
We can take care of each other when we go in.
Unlike what Qu Yaoyao had imagined, the secret realm in the Kunlun Mystical Stone was not covered with ice and snow. It was rainy and the sky was gloomy, which was almost the same as the Gunan Island outside the whirlpool.
Soon, the other cultivators followed Qu Yaoyao in. Just as Ah Jiang had guessed before, the vortex in the secret realm was so hard to get out. As soon as everyone entered, the vortex disappeared out of thin air, as if it had sealed them inside.
"Ah, what is that!" A cultivator pointed somewhere in horror.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw two bruised and battered corpses lying under the black stone. Judging from their clothes, they were cultivators who had entered the secret realm earlier than them.
It was indeed very dangerous in here. Qu Yaoyao specially checked the two bodies and found that the scars on their bodies were special, as if they were scratched by something sharp. In some parts, the bones were exposed and the flesh was not visible.
"There won't be any monsters in here, right?" Ah Jiang also moved closer, and after just one glance, she quickly buried her face in Yi Qing's arms, not daring to look any longer.
She admired Qu Yaoyao more and more, "Aren't you afraid?"
Qu Yaoyao stood up and said, "I used to be afraid, but now... I can only say that I'm used to it."
The cultivators killed by Xie Qingxun in the Ten-Step Herb Garden were far more hideous than these corpses. Qu Yaoyao was also scared like a little girl, but Xie Qingxun was not by her side at that time. Only Mo Xuanxiao was with her.
At that time, she never thought that the murderer who wiped out the entire family and the Tu faction in various cruel ways would be her husband who was intimate with her every night.
Seeing that Chao Yuan had killed too many people and she had seen too many corpses, she had become accustomed to it.
This place is too dangerous. Some cultivators suggested that they go together. After thinking about it, Qu Yaoyao agreed, "But you all have to listen to me. I can take you to find Xuan Yao Tianzun."
Leaving them to Mo Xuanxiao would at least be safer.
"Xuan Yao Tianzun is here too?!" When everyone heard Mo Xuanxiao's name, they became excited. Finally, some people believed that Qu Yaoyao was the Fairy Yaolian, and most people chose to follow.
Qu Yaoyao tried to persuade those who insisted on leaving on their own to find the treasure, but they refused to listen. Ah Jiang snorted and tugged at her sleeve, "I don't think they're good people either. If they don't listen, let them go. Who knows what kind of trouble they might cause if we take them with us."
"Yaoyao, we believe in you, we will go with you!"
Qu Yaoyao looked around, pointed to a location and said, "Then let's go this way."
She didn't know where Mo Xuanxiao was in the secret realm now. She couldn't transmit sound or use a sound transmission mirror in there, but her intuition told her that it was right to go there.
The group set off in a mighty procession, which actually slowed Qu Yaoyao down. The rain continued, so she and Ah Jiang shared an umbrella, trying to make them walk as fast as possible.
"Hey, what is this?" Qu Yaoyao had already reminded people in advance that things here should not be touched randomly, but there are always some people who can't control their hands.
Someone saw a strange, shiny black object in the mud, squatted down to pick it up but found that he couldn't lift it up.
The rain hit the ground, washing away the mud and revealing more and more black strips. Someone dug in the mud a few more times and suddenly felt that this thing looked like a hand.
Qu Yaoyao also noticed the abnormality on the soles of her feet, and quickly remembered that when she first transformed and was sent to the underworld by Chong'an, she had seen a similar thing in the snow, called the Hell Ghost Hand.
"Everyone, don't touch it, get out of the way--"
She said it was too late.
Before she could finish her words, a ghostly hand burst out of the ground and ripped through the cultivator's leg bones. Screams rose and fell, and Qu Yaoyao could only protect Ah Jiang and the others and evacuate to a safe location.
Seeing more and more cultivators being trapped, she rushed out from under the umbrella, jumped high, and waved her sword to retreat.
brush--
Dazzling golden light shot up into the sky, and a huge phoenix soared and hummed in the rain, circling around Qu Yaoyao.
As the phoenix appeared, two groups of people in the distance stopped at the same time.
"Is that a Phoenix?!"
"How could there be a phoenix in this secret realm? Tianzun, look, does it look like the divine phoenix in the ancient scrolls?"
"That's not right. That phoenix isn't a physical entity. It looks like a ghost. It must be fake."
Mo Xuanxiao raised his umbrella and looked up at the strange sight in the distance. At this moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
"It's Yaoyao." He murmured, knowing very well that the phantom phoenix would only appear during Qu Yaoyao's reign.
On the other side, Chao Yuan was about to walk out of the half-island that had been swallowed. Sensing something strange, he stopped and looked down at the phoenix taking off from the jungle below, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Demon Lord, what's wrong?" Tu Ling stood beside him, raised his arm high and held up a red umbrella with a phoenix painted on it for him, and followed his gaze down.
Chao Yuan looked at her for a moment and said without emotion, "Here comes a disobedient little flower. Do you think she should be taught a lesson?"
He was kind enough to let her go, but she followed him anyway.
There is no way to contact the outside world in the Xuanshi Secret Realm, so Huang Ying has no way to pass on any message to him.
As Chao Yuan said this, he was about to turn back. At the same time, Mo Xuanxiao also instructed Gu Tianci, "Take good care of them. I'll go get Yaoyao."
The author has something to say: An early update day.
This chapter mainly goes through the plot, and we'll see you in the next chapter. I also want to continue writing, but the plot later is more emotionally draining, and I can't stand it anymore, so I'll write slowly QAQ
