The soul who spoke first was furious: "How can you be so cowardly! We agreed on two people, but there are clearly three people on this flying boat!"
A red flame ignited from the soul, splitting into two and flying towards the flying boat. When it was about to touch Su Miao, she reached out and grabbed it, throwing it back at Lu Qun. She looked coldly at the densely packed souls floating outside: "Everyone, long time no see."
Lu Qun was still immersed in his own world. When he heard this, he looked up and looked outside, but saw nothing but a cloud of black smoke.
But the master and disciple of Wuwang Sect were looking outside, especially Fu Chen, whose eyes flashed with surprise as he looked outside.
There must be something outside, but he couldn't see it. Lu Qun lowered his head. As someone who had followed him halfway, he was very self-aware.
He was not complacent just because the Immortal Venerable had been on good terms with him before, nor did he feel that he had won just because he knew Fu Chen's secret.
Fu Chen did see the existence of those souls and heard what they said.
Surprised, stunned, yet it seemed natural.
Master has always been very powerful, he knows it very well.
But he didn't expect that his master had gone to Qiwu so early, but for whom?
The phoenix that gave Master the fire of tempering?
Then he asked those questions in vain!
Thinking of this, Fu Chen chuckled, turned around, walked towards Lu Qun, and squatted beside him.
Hearing the voice, Lu Qun looked up and saw the mockery on Fu Chen's face. He quickly lowered his head and moved his body to make some space.
"Can't let her in!"
"We can't beat her, so you go? I won't go!"
Hearing Su Miao's gentle greeting, the quarreling voices of the souls paused, and within a few breaths they responded in almost unison: "Soon, soon!"
The spirit who seemed to be the leader spoke, his voice gentle and unlike the previous irritability: "Little girl, two hundred years have passed, and you have come to fulfill your promise?"
Accept the appointment?
Fu Chen came out of his autism and looked at Lu Qun, whose eyes were darting around: "Did you hear that clearly?"
Lu Qun really hoped that he couldn't hear it, but unfortunately, he not only heard it, but also heard it clearly!
He coughed twice to encourage himself. For the first time, his eyes did not show the desire to eat the melon. "...I heard that the big guy said that the Immortal Venerable came here two hundred years ago."
Knowing what Fu Chen was asking him, Lu Qun said it directly without hesitation. After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Miao, and the surprise in his eyes could not be hidden.
Two hundred years ago, the Immortal Venerable was only a hundred years old. At the same age, he still had to compete with his fellow disciples within the sect, and sometimes he even couldn't compare. Yet, the Immortal Venerable dared to come to the Qiwu Land, a place that everyone in the spiritual world shunned.
With this kind of courage, he would never have become such a big boss.
Two hundred years...
He was not born at that time.
Fu Chen responded softly but said nothing.
A surprised voice suddenly rang out from the soul pile over there: "Strange! How strange! There's the breath of the little phoenix in here!"
"I felt it too! It's him!"
Su Miao glanced at the two people squatting beside her. Fu Chen walked over and placed his spiritual sense on Lu Qun's back. She saw this and didn't try to stop him. She had anticipated this outcome and didn't wait for the souls to continue discussing: "Seniors, how can we let him go?"
The flying boat was stuck in mid-air for so long, it was the work of these spirits. They were also part of the gate, and without their consent, it would take some effort to enter.
She could ensure that she could arrive at Qiwu safely, but she was not 100% sure about the other two people, especially Fu Chen, whose situation was special. She was worried about hurting Fu Chen.
The souls were silent and they gathered together to discuss.
Su Miao walked up to Fu Chen and the other man, holding a sword and saying, "If anything happens, protect him."
Fu Chen didn't say anything, Lu Qun bent his elbow and hit him: "The Immortal Master is talking to you."
He even smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry for holding you back, Immortal Lord."
The current situation was obviously because of him. He didn't have the key, so even if he followed in, he couldn't get in.
Fu Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly and elbowed back: "Master, don't worry, he will protect me."
Lu Qun: "Yes, Fu Chen is right..." Realizing something, he turned around and glared at Fu Chen: "I protect you? How can I protect you?"
Su Miao nodded and did not refute Fu Chen's words: "It's troublesome."
It was obvious that these words were spoken to him. Lu Qun was dumbfounded. He wanted to say something, but he saw the White-robed Immortal Venerable flying out of the flying boat with a magic sword in his hand and having a face-to-face communication with the Phoenix clan elders.
He was stunned and asked, "Is this always the style of the Immortal Venerable?"
Fu Chen hummed softly, "About the same."
Lu Qun was right, his master was faster at drawing his sword than he was.
The souls were not surprised. When they saw Su Miao coming, they even made room for him.
Feng Ting glanced at his spineless companions, then floated over to the Frost Wind Sword, examining it carefully. "Why is it this sword again? Do you like things from my Phoenix Clan so much?"
Fu Chen couldn't hear what was said outside because of the barrier. He pulled Lu Qun to his feet and said, "Let's go back to the room."
Lu Qun was unwilling: "Just go back, I'm fine staying here."
Fu Chen didn't respond and dragged him towards the room: "Master said you have to protect me. Otherwise, why do you think you followed me?"
Lu Qun: “…”
Facing Feng Ting's almost proud question, Su Miao lowered his eyes and said, "The gift from the senior is certainly very handy."
Souls: “…”
They say it's a gift, but after all, this girl stole it herself! It's clearly their Phoenix Clan's sacred artifact, but they actually recognized it as a human cultivator! He doesn't even have Phoenix bloodline!
Feng Ting felt a pain on his face and let out a soft hiss, finally unable to hide his temper. "Why are there people from my Feng clan on your boat? Have you forgotten the agreement we made with you?!"
The other souls followed suit, saying, "Little girl, you humans are the most trustworthy. I heard you're already an Immortal Venerable. You can't go back on your word!"
Even though they have been trapped here for many years and can only guard the gate, they know a lot about what is happening outside. Over the years, the Phoenix lineage has fallen apart and split into dozens of branches, and many of them have loose rules.
There were many little phoenixes coming in and out, and they heard a lot of news.
This includes the fact that the girl in front of him is already a representative of the monks.
This group of people are all phoenixes, maybe there is news of nirvana.
Su Miao came to a conclusion in his mind: "There's no such thing as a phoenix. It's just a charging sound. Did you not completely disappear after you died?"
There was Qing Feng's ancestor inside: "Is it that little girl? Strange, when did she become so weak?"
Su Miao remained calm and said, "She challenged me to a duel some time ago, and I accidentally hurt her."
The souls believed it without a trace of doubt, and even reminded Su Miao: "How could you still be so ruthless, girl? You don't cherish the fact that the little girl can play with you?"
Feng Ting was thinking about something. After a while, he turned around and said, "You two go back first. I have something to say to this girl."
The souls are reluctant to leave, as it is rare for them to come out.
The Phoenixes were very aloof, especially their ancestors, who were not just anyone. Even their descendants, despite their constant calls, would respond based on their mood.
This is the second time they appear together in such a neat formation.
Feng Ting's face darkened. Although he had a loud and bad temper, he was the leader of this group after all and still had a lot of authority.
Although the souls were reluctant, they still said goodbye to Su Miao: "Little girl, we will meet again when you come out."
Qiwu is difficult to enter and exit. They have no doubts about Su Miao, and those useless descendants cannot stop this girl at all.
After the group of souls returned to the formation, Feng Ting became more serious: "Su Miao girl, tell me the truth, are there really no children of my Phoenix clan on that boat?"
Feng Ting is of a higher generation, he is the first ancestor who volunteered to guard the entrance. At the same time, he is a fire phoenix.
The blood connection between phoenixes varies in strength, with those with the same bloodline being stronger.
Feng Ting was certain that the aura was not from the child of the Qingfeng family. Instead, it was particularly familiar. It was from the child of his Huofeng family!
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from the Phoenix, Su Miao pondered for a moment and said, "Are you the first generation Phoenix?"
Unable to follow her train of thought, Feng Ting laughed dryly twice: "You are making up stories about me, girl! How can it be the first generation? The ancestor of the Phoenix is Suzaku, so that is the true first generation!"
"That kid inside is in Nirvana, right?" He glanced at Su Miao, his expression calm, as if he would not change color even if Mount Tai collapsed, but he also showed a bit of coldness and ruthlessness. He smiled bitterly: "How could you, a girl, do something so challenging?"
"Nirvana... that's Suzaku's duty." His figure became blurred, leaving only a large ball of dancing flames. "This is what is called Nirvana. Despite countless hardships and obstacles, that person will not allow such a thing to happen."
Heaven, the regulator of this world, will not allow anything beyond its control to appear, whether it is a human or a monster.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Feng Ting felt the desire to confide in her for the first time.
The red flames gradually spread, surrounding Su Miao and the spirit sword under her feet.
The scorching flames surrounded her, but Su Miao remained calm and used her spiritual power. A small flame stopped her, and she lowered her hands, allowing herself to be wrapped in the flames.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qun stammered: "Will the Immortal Venerable be okay like this?"
Everyone was engulfed in flames! The Immortal Venerable hadn't used his spiritual power yet!
He was a little anxious and rubbed the ahoge on his head, wanting to cry but unable to.
If his master knew that the Immortal Master was injured because of him, he might not have a tomorrow.
As the master's most well-behaved disciple, Lu Qun also knows a secret that no one else knows: his master and the Immortal Beihan of the Wuwang Sect are close friends.
Originally, he only knew that the man was called Miao Su, until Su Miao, who called himself Miao Su, came to him, and even his master kept him in the Su Mansion and did not take him away.
Everything has an explanation. That Miao Su is the Northern Cold Immortal Su Miao!
Fu Chen was inexplicably angry and turned his head to look at the room: "Don't worry, Master will be fine."
That phoenix is a fire phoenix. His phoenix true fire did not harm Master, so... Master's tempering fire should be his.
Knowing who gave Su Miao the Tempering Fire, Fu Chen should have been happy that this person was an old phoenix, or a dead phoenix.
But when he saw that Su Miao did not resist and let the other party's flames wrap himself up, he still couldn't help getting angry.
Whether they were relieved or didn't care, he wasn't curious at all!
Lu Qun was not from the Phoenix clan, so he didn't know what was going on in the minds of these birds. He felt relieved when he heard Fu Chen say not to worry, but then his eyes widened again.
Afraid that he had seen it wrong, he rubbed his eyes vigorously. To make sure he was not mistaken, he grabbed Fu Chen with trembling hands: "Fu, Fu Chen, the Immortal Venerable is gone."
The spiritual power in Fu Chen's hand dispersed. He turned around, his eyes bloodshot, and gnashed his teeth: "Su Miao!"
