Chapter 1399: Heavenly Phoenix Feather

"You dare?" A roar of extreme shock and fury erupted from the blood dragon, releasing a beam of blood light that shot straight toward the green threads.

Long Dong's primordial spirit, in desperation, actually released a sword light formed from a drop of his True Spirit blood, using it for a final struggle.

If it were an ordinary attack, perhaps it really couldn't have landed after being slashed by this blood-colored sword light.

But the Void Heaven Tripod itself was a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, and the green threads it released were formless, possessing infinite miracles in their transformations.

Han Li only urged his divine sense, and immediately, green light flashed in the sky. Most of the green threads vanished from the void, while the remaining part suddenly condensed, transforming into a green light that intertwined and fought with the blood light.

The next moment, a foot above the blood dragon, space fluctuated, and a mass of green threads shot out from the void.

The green threads scattered, instantly binding the blood dragon and most of the blood phoenix within the five-colored light flames tightly, then rolled back, intending to collect this object into the Void Heaven Tripod.

With a "puchi" sound, a cluster of green light flew out from the struggling blood dragon's body. After a flash, it appeared eerily ten zhang away, then flickered several times, teleporting thirty or forty zhang away.

A cold glint appeared in Han Li's eyes. Suddenly, the Destruction Dharma Eye between his brows flared with black light, shooting out a black ray.

After a muffled bang in the void, the teleporting green light stumbled and appeared, its radiance seeming much dimmer.

But before Han Li could cast another spell, the green light suddenly transformed into a void-like streak that shot out. Amidst flickering appearances, it reached the edge of the horizon eerily, then with another flicker, vanished.

Han Li frowned, and the black light that had just flared on his third demonic eye dissipated.

Although the Destruction Dharma Eye possessed the divine ability to pierce through the void, at such a long distance, it was naturally powerless.

And within the green threads, the blood dragon and blood phoenix had already been collected into the Void Heaven Tripod after a "boom."

The tripod lid fell, covering the tripod tightly once more.

No one noticed that in that split second, two golden shadows flashed silently in one of Han Li's sleeves, flying into the tripod with extreme secrecy.

At this time, the four people hundreds of zhang away saw the True Spirit blood being collected by Han Li and Long Dong's primordial spirit fleeing. Their expressions all changed drastically.

The two Long family cultivators looked at each other, then suddenly transformed into two streaks of light and fled into the sky, without even a greeting. Those evil ghosts and demonic creatures also followed and fled.

The direction they fled was precisely where Long Dong's primordial spirit had escaped.

Ye Chu and the white-robed young girl had no intention of pursuing them. Instead, their escape lights rose, shooting straight toward Han Li.

A moment later, the two women appeared ten zhang from Han Li. Ye Chu scanned Han Li and the Ti Hun Beast, which was dozens of zhang tall, with a look of undisguised astonishment in her eyes.

The white-robed young girl wore a smile, but her bright eyes were fixed on the green tripod in front of Han Li.

Clearly, the moment the two women saw the True Spirit blood fall into Han Li's hands, they became extremely vigilant toward him.

"Brother Han, this time we owe it to your help, otherwise the Long family might have truly succeeded. Brother Han, rest assured, the conditions we promised earlier will not change. We will not let you exert yourself in vain, Fellow Daoist," the white-robed young girl said with a charming smile as her bright eyes flowed.

"Indeed, with the power of our Ye family, I think there are few wishes in the human race that we cannot help you realize, Fellow Daoist," Ye Chu also spoke slowly, but her words carried a hidden threat.

Han Li's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak. He suddenly slapped the green tripod in front of him with one hand.

The tripod hummed, and the lid flew into the sky again. Amidst the dense entanglement of countless green threads, the blood dragon, along with the mostly incomplete blood phoenix, floated leisurely at the tripod mouth.

The two women saw the blood dragon and blood phoenix, their eyes lighting up. The white-robed young girl's face even flashed with blood light, and a tiny blood phoenix phantom flashed and vanished.

Han Li smiled slightly and flicked his hand at the green tripod.

Immediately, the green threads wrapping the blood phoenix shook, breaking inch by inch. The object originally wrapped inside bounced toward the young girl opposite him.

The white-robed young girl was overjoyed. She let out a soft cry, and another small blood phoenix flew from her body, colliding with the incomplete blood phoenix.

Blood light flared, and the two merged into one without the slightest obstruction, transforming into a blood-red sphere about a foot in size.

This sphere was fresh and red, as if condensed from essence blood, but after a spin, it suddenly transformed into a blood phoenix about a foot tall, circling and dancing around the young girl.

The young girl smiled at the corners of her mouth, extended a jade finger, and pointed solemnly at the blood phoenix.

After a pleasant chime, the blood phoenix spread its wings, transformed into a streak of blood light, and plunged into the young girl's body, vanishing in a flash.

Immediately, Ye Ying was shrouded in a layer of blood color, and at the same time, a blood phoenix phantom appeared and vanished behind her, blurry and unstable, but eventually gradually became clear and stable.

After a while, the blood phoenix phantom dissipated, and the young girl opened her eyes, her face full of excitement.

"The True Phoenix blood is finally safe, and seven or eight tenths have been recovered. A small portion was forcefully swallowed by this True Dragon essence blood, I'm afraid it cannot be easily separated again. Fortunately, this True Blood has also fallen into the hands of our Ye family. Brother Han, throw the True Dragon blood over as well. This True Blood must be properly preserved. Ordinary containers will likely cause the True Blood's spirituality to be greatly damaged."

The young girl smiled charmingly at Han Li, and at the same time, flipped her hand, revealing a small, exquisite purple-gold gourd in her palm.

Han Li laughed lightly.

"Fairy Ye, if I remember correctly, I only promised the two of you to recover the Fairy's True Spirit blood. Now that you have obtained the Heavenly Phoenix blood, isn't it a bit too greedy to want this remaining True Dragon essence blood as well?" Han Li said leisurely.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what do you mean by this? Do you also want to covet the True Spirit blood!" Ye Chu's voice turned icy, and her gaze flashed with cold light like a blade.

"Even though I am a flying-ascended cultivator, I know some of the taboos of the True Spirit families, so how could I have such delusions? Even if I really fused with the spirit blood, I would be destined to be hunted down by all the families." Han Li shook his head with a smile.

"Then what does Brother Han mean?" Hearing that Han Li had no intention of claiming the True Dragon blood for himself, the white-robed young girl's expression relaxed, and she asked again.

"Hehe, nothing much. This True Dragon blood is likely not inferior to your Heavenly Phoenix blood. Your Ye family must be determined to obtain this as well. If I were to hand this over with both hands, I wonder what the two Fellow Daoists would be willing to exchange for it." Han Li said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, so Brother Han wants benefits. That's easy to talk about. As long as you are willing to hand over the True Spirit essence blood, Brother Han can name any price. I will absolutely not bargain," the white-robed young girl said with a full face of smiles.

"True Spirit blood is such a spiritual object, how can it be exchanged for mere spirit stones? Of course, if you truly have a hundred or so top-grade spirit stones, that would be another matter." Han Li said lightly.

"Brother Han is truly joking. Even our Ye family couldn't produce so many top-tier spirit stones at once. If it were just a few, I could try my best to think of a way," the young girl's expression changed slightly. After looking at Ye Chu, she replied with a forced smile.

"If it were just a few top-grade spirit stones, why would I bother the two Fellow Daoists? If I spent some effort, it wouldn't be impossible for me to obtain them," Han Li replied calmly.

"What do you want, Fellow Daoist? Just say it directly," Ye Chu seemed to lose patience and asked coldly.

"Very simple. I want to exchange it for one Heavenly Phoenix Feather in Senior Ye's hand," Han Li said slowly after scanning Ye Chu.

"What Heavenly Phoenix Feather? Do you really believe that Black Phoenix Clan demoness's words, Fellow Daoist!" Ye Chu's pupils shrank, but she remained calm.

The white-robed young girl was startled when she heard this.

"Does Senior Ye think I would believe that? If the two of you truly feel that I am talking nonsense, I wouldn't mind using the Soul-Searching Technique on Fellow Daoist Xiao. I only want one. If I exchange it for True Dragon blood, the two Fellow Daoists would be getting a great bargain," Han Li said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing Han Li's words, Ye Chu frowned, and her gaze swept toward Ye Ying.

The white-robed young girl pursed her lips several times before saying with flickering eyes:

"What do you need the Heavenly Phoenix Feather for, Fellow Daoist? This object is also very useful to our Ye family. How about I exchange it for other items? For example, the two Spirit Dragon Fruits we obtained earlier?"

"I happen to need a top-tier Phoenix Feather to re-refine a treasure. As for the Spirit Dragon Fruit, although I want it, compared to this Heavenly Phoenix Feather, I naturally still want the latter," Han Li said calmly.

"Does Brother Han really only want to exchange it for the Heavenly Phoenix Feather! Is there nothing else to discuss?" Ye Ying looked at the blood dragon on the green tripod for a long time, her expression uncertain as she asked again.

"Hehe, if the two Fellow Daoists have spiritual objects like 'Immortal-Gazing Pill' or 'Nine-Heart Spirit Ganoderma,' I wouldn't mind exchanging for those either," Han Li said with a low laugh.

"Hmph, if I had such heaven-defying spiritual objects, I wouldn't need any True Dragon blood; I could just consume them and look forward to Spirit Severing and Body Integration. Fine, this girl agrees. I will exchange one Heavenly Phoenix Feather for this object." The white-robed young girl gritted her teeth and finally agreed to Han Li's condition.

Ye Chu's expression changed, and she opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. Han Li felt his spirits lift when he heard this.

"Haha, this move by Fairy Ye is the wise one. As long as you let me verify the Phoenix Feather, I will immediately hand over the True Dragon blood to the two of you. The two Fellow Daoists naturally wouldn't be afraid that I would take the treasure and run," Han Li said with a smile.

"Sister Chu, take out a Phoenix Feather and give it to him." The young girl sighed and ordered Ye Chu.

"Yes, Young Master!" Ye Chu hesitated, but still agreed. She flicked her hand over her storage bracelet, and a fire-red jade box appeared in her hand.

This jade box was not only bright red, but its surface patterns were all flame-shaped. The moment it was taken out, a wave of heat rushed toward them, and the temperature nearby rose significantly.

"Flame Jade!" Han Li was startled when he saw this jade box.
