"Everyone says we are a demon sect, why should I hesitate? What's the harm in sucking him dry?"

Hearing Zhu Lin's words, Tian Huangnu snorted, quite disapproving.

Zhu Lin smiled gently and took her hand: "Xiao Huang, I know you hate it most when Tian Huang Mountain is slandered as a demonic sect. You have never harmed anyone in these years. Why do you need to show off in front of me?"

The Phoenix girl lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red, and stamped her feet, "Sister!"

At this moment, the beautiful and sexy leader of Tianhuang Mountain was acting like a little girl, not looking like a female devil at all.

Qin Gengyun, who was using his internal energy to force out the poison not far away, was also a little surprised.

He traveled all the way to the Northern Wilderness, Zhenyang, and then to the Southern Demon.

What I saw and heard was far from what people said.

Not all righteous sects are justice-oriented, and not all evil sects are evil and cruel.

Just like Tianhuang Mountain, everyone says that they are female demons who suck the essence of men.

But the reality is completely the opposite. The men whose essence is absorbed by them will not only not die, but will also be given elixirs and even marry into the Tianhuang tribe.

Although the Tianhuang girl in front of him looks like a big devil on the surface, she is actually just a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

The actual manager of Tianhuang Mountain should be Zhu Lin, but she looks quite gentle and kind, and is definitely not a cruel person who kills innocent people.

If that's the case, why did my wife ask me to be extra careful about Tianhuang Mountain? And also taught me how to counter Tianhuang Jue?

Madam was once an elder of the Qinglian Sect. Doesn’t she know the situation in Tianhuang Mountain?

Qin Gengyun began to have doubts in his mind. At this time, Tianhuangnu had already walked in front of him, looking down at him with a cold and arrogant expression.

However, Qin Gengyun, who had seen through her little girl's nature, just found it funny at the moment. Tian Huangnu said angrily:

"What are you laughing at? You don't know how to live or die!"

"Xiao Huang." Zhu Lin's voice came from behind. Tian Huangnu snorted, reached out to grab Qin Gengyun, and carried him on her shoulders.

The Tianhuang girl was quite tall, so it was not difficult for her to carry the burly Qin Gengyun. She spread her wings behind her and flew up.

Soon they arrived at the top of Tianhuang Mountain, where there were no buildings but a lonely temple.

The Tianhuang girl grabbed Qin Gengyun and flew into the temple. With a cold face, she put Qin Gengyun on the ground, but her movements were gentle.

"Thank you very much."

Qin Gengyun smiled at her, and Tianhuangnu snorted and turned her face away.

Qin Gengyun looked around. The temple was not big. There were stone pillars supporting the building on both sides, and there was only a statue in the innermost part.

The statue is a phoenix with a man sitting on its back.

Qin Gengyun was startled and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Zhen Yangzi?!"

This man's appearance is exactly the same as Zhen Yangzi in Sheng Tang Lian Cai Gu's painting!

"What are you talking about? This is the first generation of our clan, so don't be rude!"

Tian Huangnu snorted coldly. At this time, Zhu Lin also flew in. When she heard Qin Gengyun calling out Zhen Yangzi's name, she was a little surprised:

"Why does this fellow Taoist recognize the destined person of our clan as the founder of Zhenyang Sect?"

Qin Gengyun asked in confusion: "This is Zhenyangzi, don't you know?"

Zhu Lin was surprised and said, "I have seen the portrait of Zhen Yangzi in the classics, and he is not the first generation destined person of our clan. My fellow Taoist, why are you so sure?"

Qin Gengyun was speechless. To be honest, he had never seen Zhen Yangzi's portrait before.

They are all Zhenyangzi seen in Sheng Tanglian's colored bone paintings.

Suddenly, Qin Gengyun was startled.

Could it be that the Zhenyangzi known to later generations is not the same person as the real Zhenyangzi?

Then who was Zhen Yangzi who killed Sheng Tanglian?

"Don't waste your time talking to him. Hey, let me ask you, do you choose to die, or to become a useless person?"

The Tianhuang girl snorted and spoke to Qin Gengyun coldly, but she didn't dare to look Qin Gengyun in the eye, as if she felt a little guilty.

Zhu Lin said softly, "My fellow Taoist, we have no intention of doing anything bad to you. Would you like to hear a legend about Tianhuang Mountain?"

Her features were gentle and her voice was kind, making people subconsciously willing to cooperate. Qin Gengyun nodded: "Please go ahead."

Zhu Lin sighed and said softly:

"Tianhuang Mountain is the descendant of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix Bird, but only one person in each generation possesses the purest blood of the Divine Phoenix and has the hope of awakening the divine power of their ancestors and becoming a true ancient Divine Phoenix."

"This is also the great path that every generation of our Phoenix Clan descendants seeks."

"It's just that for thousands of years, none of us have been able to successfully transform into a divine phoenix, and we can no longer reproduce the power of our ancestors' divine phoenix."

"Until five hundred years ago, the Phoenix girl of that generation met a physical cultivator who could actually activate the Phoenix Art in the Phoenix girl's body to operate on its own."

"After the Phoenix Girl absorbed his essence, she completely awakened the bloodline of her ancestors and transformed into the Ancient Divine Phoenix!"

Qin Gengyun was a little surprised and couldn't help interrupting: "Transformed into an ancient divine phoenix? Such a shocking event, why have we never heard of any record in any classics?"

Zhu Lin sighed again: "For unknown reasons, after the Heavenly Phoenix girl of that generation transformed into a Divine Phoenix, she followed that physical cultivator and left the Heavenly Phoenix Mountain. She never appeared again. Therefore, there has never been any record of the Divine Phoenix reappearing in the world."

Qin Gengyun pointed at the statue of Zhen Yangzi's mount, the Phoenix Bird, and said, "Is this the scene when your Divine Phoenix and that body cultivator left five hundred years ago?"

Zhu Lin nodded: "This temple was built by the generation of Tianhuang girl five hundred years ago after she successfully transformed into a divine phoenix. Before leaving Tianhuang Mountain, Tianhuang girl left a book."

“It records the Heavenly Phoenix Art after her improvement, adds the specific method of transforming into a divine phoenix, and leaves a prophecy:

If a future Heavenly Phoenix girl encounters a physical cultivator who can activate the Heavenly Phoenix Art in her body, then that person is her destined partner. By absorbing his essence according to the secret method, she will have the hope of transforming into a divine phoenix and recreating the might of the Heavenly Phoenix clan in ancient times."

Qin Gengyun understood: "So, since five hundred years ago, you have been practicing the Heavenly Phoenix Art that was improved by that Heavenly Phoenix girl?"

The Phoenix girl snorted: "You are not stupid."

Qin Gengyun smiled. It was the first time he met a woman who was more arrogant than his wife. He shook his head and asked Zhu Lin:

"If that's the case, why haven't we heard of the ancient divine phoenix reappearing in Tianhuang Mountain in the past five hundred years?"

Zhu Lin sighed: "Since then, Tianhuang Mountain has experienced three generations of Tianhuang women. According to the prophecy in the divine scriptures, they all found their destined ones, but..."

Zhu Lin paused and looked at Qin Gengyun:

“Although they absorbed the essence of the destined person, they failed to successfully transform into a divine phoenix, and…the destined person either died or their cultivation was completely wasted.”

Qin Gengyun was stunned: "Why is that? Isn't it harmless for you Tianhuang people to absorb essence?"

Zhu Lin said: "The secret method used by the Phoenix girl to absorb the destined person is different from that of the ordinary Phoenix people. Once this secret method is successful, not only can the Phoenix girl transform into a divine phoenix, but the destined person can also obtain a part of the divine phoenix's power."

"But if it fails, the man whose essence is absorbed will either die or become disabled."

Seeing Qin Gengyun's strange expression, Zhu Lin bit her lip and continued:

"My fellow Taoist, don't worry. I will be there to help you and will make sure you are safe. If your cultivation is really ruined, we will not sit idly by. I... I am willing to give myself as compensation, marry you, and serve you for the rest of my life. Are you satisfied with this?"
