Chapter 109: Heavenly Phoenix, Valley

On the mountain peak, Qin Jiang held an arrow as thick as an infant's arm in his hand.

This was an arrow made of special materials, enough to break through the defense of ordinary high-level Secret Martial Artists.

Behind him was a half-open bronze door, inside which were scattered various damaged mechanism creations, many of which were devices that could threaten Secret Martial Artists above the Tenth Rank.

Throwing down the arrow in his hand casually, he shook his head in disappointment; the life gate was far worse than the death gate.

Not only were they all killing weapons, but the potential points were also pitifully small, only less than one hundred points.

Walking to the edge of the cliff, the breeze blew up his hair.

"Hey! Hey! Why are you standing so high! You'll fall!"

A voice came, and Qin Jiang looked down. Xiaobai was waving below, with a bag containing seasonings beside her.

Leaping down, he landed heavily on the ground, and the surrounding woods trembled incessantly.

"Eh~ what do you want to do! I've kept your things well! You can't go back on your word! Spicy rabbit head is not delicious... I don't have chili anymore..."

Xiaobai said while retreating, until she stepped on a relatively soft piece of mud, and then stopped. Here was the chili she had secretly buried just now.

"Let's go, go to the valley you mentioned and take a look."

Ning'an City, Division Mansion. An Lan sat in the main seat, with Si Changyuan on the left and a purple-clothed woman in the second seat.

However, at this time, An Lan was dressed in white, even her hair had turned white, a pair of eyes were black and white, and her face shape had changed slightly. Her temperament was completely different from before.

"Sister-in-law, you mean, that ruin was destroyed?! Then what about the source artifact! That high-level source artifact couldn't have been destroyed too, right?!"

Si Changyuan's face changed drastically, carrying disbelief.

That ruin was a suitable place he had spent a long time choosing. The location was so remote, how could it be discovered! And most importantly, that Mysterious Tripod!

That was a high-level source artifact! A high-level source artifact on the same level as the Copper Bell Sect's Golden Light Subduing Demon Bell! His Si family was waiting to be promoted! "Yes, Heavenly Phoenix Lord, with Jiufeng Lord personally sitting there, how could such a thing happen!" The purple-clothed woman also asked in shock.

She belonged to the Jiufeng's Red Phoenix Division and was also a Secret Martial Artist realm, but she hadn't reached the level of a high-level Secret Martial Artist.

But she was most clear about Jiufeng Lord's strength! There were not many people in the entire Ning'an County who were opponents of that level of expert! How could something happen in that wilderness?

"Don't have too high expectations." An Lan—no, it should be Heavenly Phoenix.

This time, the Red Phoenix Division and the Golden Jade Pavilion joined forces to deal with Yuan Prefecture, so she was responsible for overall coordination, so there were several bodies specially cultivated for descent in each county.

Although descent would cause great loss to the descended, it was not fatal, and there would be compensation.

"Then what should we do? Should we just give up?" Si Changyuan asked.

Heavenly Phoenix shook her head. "Where are Yuntian and Yun'er?"

"Liuyun has already gone to find his brother, it won't take long..."

"Step step step!"

Before he could finish, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and a tall figure walked in, walking with the vigor of a dragon and a tiger.

"Jun'er, why are you here?"

A hearty male voice came from the person, and he walked straight to the upper right seat and sat down.

The visitor was the helmsman of the Si family, the current County Assistant of Ning'an City, Si Yuntian.

Ning'an City was not comparable to Black Mountain City; the County Assistant was the third-in-command in Ning'an City who truly held great power.

"Mother! Why are you here!"

A young woman in a goose-yellow skirt walked in with a voice like an oriole.

Si Liuyun... Si Liuyun walked quickly to Heavenly Phoenix and took Heavenly Phoenix's hand.

"How old are you, why are you still like a child." Heavenly Phoenix's gaze softened.

For this child, she actually felt guilty. After all, she hadn't seen her many times since she was a child, and most of the time it was through this kind of incarnation.

Si Yuntian beside her also had guilt in his eyes. He had always demanded his daughter as a boy, and even sent her to the Golden Jade Pavilion to apprentice, which was truly unworthy of being a father. But he had no choice; war was imminent, and he had to do it.

Fortunately, his daughter was promising and apprenticed under Qingyu Zun, who was only second to the Golden Jade Pavilion Master.

Although she hadn't become a Secret Martial Artist, it was still a guarantee.

If possible, he also planned to let his daughter restore her female identity after this war ended and they returned to the Huai Kingdom.

"Alright, stop making trouble. Mother still has things to do, you go back and rest first," Heavenly Phoenix smiled.

Si Liuyun hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly. "Then daughter takes her leave."

After she left, Heavenly Phoenix looked at the crowd. "The plan proceeds as usual. I will find another high-level source artifact. If there is nothing else, you go back too. I have something to discuss with my husband alone."

Si Changyuan and the purple-clothed woman looked at each other and left separately.

After they left, Heavenly Phoenix stood up and walked lightly to Si Yuntian's side and sat on his lap.

"Jun'er, what happened? Who destroyed the ruin?" Si Yuntian gently hugged Heavenly Phoenix's waist.

Heavenly Phoenix shook her head. "I don't know. The Master only saw a dragon-headed, human-bodied monster, like the Demon Dragon lineage of the East Sea, but not sure."

East Sea Dragon Race!

Si Yuntian's pupils shrank. Those guys were not easy to provoke, even among the entire demon race, they belonged to the existence of a behemoth.

Not to mention the entire Dragon Race, just one Demon Dragon lineage was enough to contend with the entire Red Phoenix Division! If you count the old monsters of the Demon Dragon lineage on Dragon Island, I'm afraid only the Huai King Mansion could deal with them!

"If it

"If it is the East Sea Dragon Race, then we truly must deliberate at length," Si Yuntian said.

Tian Feng shook her head, "There is no time left. The Longevity Sect Master's time is nearly up; in three years at most, he will surely seek out the Golden Jade Pavilion Master for a fight to the death."

Si Yuntian's pupils constricted, "His time is nearly up?! Shouldn't there be at least ten years left?"

"We only learned recently that thirty years ago, when the previous Governor went to the Imperial City, he planted a Divine Seed and had the previous Governor take it to the Imperial City.

You know that he and that person in the Imperial City are of the same clan; that person could not refuse," Tian Feng said.

Si Yuntian's body turned cold; he had not expected the Longevity Sect Master to be so resolute! If this were the case, would the roles of attacker and defender not be reversed?

Tian Feng sensed his change and leaned gently against his chest, "Husband, do not worry. That person in the Longevity Sect is old after all, and having expended divine power to plant the Divine Seed, he will not be the Golden Jade Pavilion Master's match.

What we are doing is, in the end, merely adding a few more chances of victory for the Golden Jade Pavilion Master and the Master."

Si Yuntian nodded slightly, "Right, the Longevity Sect Master is old after all."

"Husband, once the matter in Yuan Prefecture is finished, let us return. The Master has already promised me that after the Longevity Sect Master and the Yuan Prefecture Governor die and war breaks out in Yuan Prefecture, he will let us return."

"Good, once the matter here is finished, we shall return. And our daughter—we owe her too much."

Deep within the Fenglin Mountain Range, in a certain valley, two figures appeared at the edge of the valley.

"Is this it? Why are you hiding so far away?" Qin Jiang looked helplessly at Xiaobai, who was timidly hiding behind a tree trunk behind him.

"No! No! If the Mountain Lord sees me here, he will eat me!" Xiaobai squatted behind the tree trunk and said tremblingly.

"It is merely a Great Demon; I can suppress it with one hand," Qin Jiang laughed.

Now that he had five Secret Martial Arts, he was invincible among Secret Martial Artists; even a twelfth-tier peak Secret Martial Artist like his Senior Brother could be suppressed with one hand.

In the entire Ning'an City, perhaps only that Wang Laoguai of the Wang Family, who had condensed a Martial Fate, could trade a few blows with him.

However, it would only be trading blows.

"Bragging... The Mountain Lord is very powerful, let's go quickly..." Xiaobai clawed at the tree trunk, on the verge of tears.

Qin Jiang shook his head, "You wait here; I will be back shortly."

He had already sensed it—that dense aura of Source Power, which even for him now could still be considered pure! It was right here in this valley! (End of chapter)
