"Don't look!" A hand covered his eyes, and a familiar, warm, and very uneasy voice rang in his ear, "Rong Yu, I'm sorry."
As he said this, the flames burned even brighter.
His hands, still wet and dripping from the water, slid down his cheeks or dripped from his wrists onto their pressed chests.
Rong Yu smiled slightly and raised his hand to grasp that stiff yet stubborn hand.
"Ah! Ah—give it back to me—"
The painful wails were right in front of the two of them. Geng Qi's eyes and heart were filled with bitterness. Suddenly, his back pressed against the hot and hard pool wall, the hand covering his eyes was removed, and his perspective changed. The person was now on top of him.
"Rong Yu...?"
The lips that suddenly pressed against his, still burning hot, startled Geng Qi for a moment. He turned his head away and said, "This isn't the time for this... um."
A tender, lingering kiss; the person is fully conscious.
Geng Qi dared not close his eyes. Looking at the long, thick eyelashes in front of him, and then at the blood-red shadow burning in the flames behind him, he suddenly raised his hands to hold his ears, used a soundproofing spell, and kissed him back forcefully.
Just for a moment, don't think about anything during this short time.
Their lips intertwined, their breath wet with moisture, a kiss delivered with all their might.
Gradually, however, he realized something was wrong. Geng Qi, who had just relaxed and closed his eyes, suddenly opened them. In the blazing purple flames, several silver specks of light gradually appeared, and his pupils contracted.
"What are you doing!"
"..."
"Let me go!"
Geng Qi tried to push him away, but was instead overpowered by him. His lips covered hers again, and something was transferred from his mouth.
A chill ran through him, and his spiritual energy surged, quickly blasting the person away.
"Are you crazy?!"
"..."
The sudden kiss wasn't meant to distract her, but rather to divert his attention!
A moment of distraction, and it's too late for anything!
A warm current surged through his body, and a shimmering light emerged from behind him. A phoenix phantom rose into the air, and a faint phoenix cry could be heard. Just as Geng Qi raised his eyes, the phantom disappeared.
Golden light flickered on his wrist, and the phoenix soared into the air. The golden whip suddenly lost its luster and turned into a crystal-clear red. Threads of downy feathers grew from the whip and quickly covered the entire bone whip. The golden feathers had a five-colored phoenix feather at the end. The long tail feathers were exactly the same as the phoenix tail feathers seen on the back mountain of Shangxu Peak!
The phoenix kite wasn't originally his; it was left to him by his mother!
The phoenix spirit mentioned by Clan Chief Wan Yue is the fragment of the Glazed Heart that the system was looking for. Once the spirit is complete, Feng Yuan will return to its original form.
The last fragment that was originally left in Rong Yu's body has now merged into his body!
Geng Qi had no mind to check what changes had occurred in his body. The silver light was still emanating; that was Rong Yu's soul!
In the final moment of the fragments merging, the surrounding purple flames seemed to undergo a change. The blood energy permeating the spirit pool was burned away, and even the blood shadow on the sword faded. The mournful sound dissipated, and the woman's remnant soul phantom was looking at him gently. The scattered silver light merged perfectly into the woman's phantom.
The divine soul that was used to protect him a hundred years ago and dispersed on its own has long since merged with Rong Yu's own divine soul. Returning the divine soul now is to exchange one's life for another!
"I'm sorry," Geng Qi murmured to the woman who was smiling gently.
The next moment, he took out a bag from his storage bracelet, put the remnant soul into it, and stopped the soul from being transferred further.
Because his soul had dissipated, Rong Yu had already fainted. Geng Qi put the bag into Rong Yu's storage bracelet to suppress his soul. Only after the silver light in his body stopped escaping did he lower his head and touch his forehead to Rong Yu's. His enormous and condensed soul was released and enveloped the two of them...
Outside the Yiling Sect's barrier, the Yiling clansmen, who had endured three days and three nights of torment under the spiritual pressure of the lightning tribulation, had just breathed a sigh of relief when they faced an "siege" from various sects.
The outer sect leader and elder, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally saw the people from Yiling Sect appear, but there were no seniors in the Mahayana stage, only a familiar clan leader, Wan Yue.
"Our sect's Supreme Elder has just undergone a tribulation of lightning and needs to recuperate, so it is inconvenient for him to meet us. Please leave!"
His tone was clear and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
The others were not impressed. One of them said, "We have come here with no intention of offending you. In the past thousand years, only one person has been heard of ascending to immortality. Now that your senior has broken through to the Mahayana realm, it is only a matter of time before someone from our righteous sect ascends to immortality. We have come to offer our congratulations. If you do not wish to see us, we will come another day."
The implication is that they are unwilling to give up.
The Demon Realm is currently powerful, relying solely on the Demon Lord. If any righteous sect could contend with the Demon Lord, they would no longer have to be subservient to the Demon Realm!
Wan Yue frowned upon hearing this. These people were unyielding, and if they attacked now, they had no chance of winning.
As they hesitated, a streak of light flashed through the air and struck the person who had just spoken. The heavy spiritual pressure forced them back, but it did not stop. Everyone was shocked and solemnly looked up, but they did not see a single person.
A powerful pressure descended from the clouds, and an aged voice sternly said, "If you want to get lost, then get lost. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Those present turned pale and finally felt fear.
This senior in the Mahayana stage has a rather bad temper!
After exchanging bewildered glances, they could only bow and take their leave.
Wan Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief as she watched the outer sect members, whom she couldn't get rid of no matter what, leave reluctantly.
As it turns out, there is no one who is completely unyielding to either soft or hard tactics; it all comes down to how strong your fist is!
Although those outside the barrier did not see the person undergoing tribulation, they were convinced that the person had successfully completed the tribulation. They believed that the righteous path had gained support and that their goal had been achieved. After being intimidated, they would naturally leave.
The person who had been intimidated did not leave the barrier. With the crisis over, Geng Qi's face turned pale instantly, and a few drops of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master!" Qinghan quickly helped him up, her face showing undisguised surprise.
Geng Qi raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shook his head with a light laugh: "It's nothing."
The person outside the barrier returned, Qingying landed, Geng Qi looked up and glanced over, his eyes flashing slightly, and smiled, "Has Clan Chief Wan Yue achieved her goal now?"
