Chapter 95: Phoenix Cry, Phoenix Yang

Dongming Old Ancestor moved extremely fast; a blue-green flowing light resembled a blazing rosy cloud, and within about half an hour his figure appeared above Phoenix Nest Mountain.

He only took a glance, and his expression tightened.

On the mountain, boundless spiritual energy gathered toward the heart of Phoenix Nest Mountain; this and the boundless resentment energy turning into a river flowing into the mountain as described by Yuhe Daoist are two completely different scenes.

Dongming Old Ancestor hesitated.

The scene appearing below seemed as if a cultivator with extraordinarily profound magical power was undergoing a breakthrough.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he momentarily did not know whether he should go forward to probe a bit.

Meanwhile, inside the Phoenix Cave, the waiting Bai Xianyin suddenly stood up, frowned, and said.

"Young Master, something is not right; a formidable person has come from above!"

Zhang Jian lifted his head.

His keen spiritual sense faintly felt a deep, vast aura appearing in the void, but he could not lock onto where that aura fell.

Bai Xianyin then volunteered, saying: "The incoming person is likely not benevolent; I will go scare him, perhaps he will retreat without fighting!"

"

Seeing her eager to try, Zhang Jian did not speak to stop her.

Zhang Jian didn't mind; he still had three backup measures left by Slay Demon True Lord, allowing him to borrow Slay Demon True Lord's power three times.

What kind of existence is Slay Demon True Lord? He believed it was sufficient to protect the Phoenix Spirit Ghost King in achieving Nirvana.

In the void, Dongming Old Ancestor pondered a moment, still decided to go forward to probe a bit, but then saw a white energy suddenly arrive before him a hundred zhang away.

The white energy manifested as a petite figure in white clothes, with delicate features like carved jade, and the sound of wind chimes faintly came from the air.

"Halt, whoever comes!"

Bai Xianyin stepped onto the void, hands on her hips, directly blocking Dongming Old Ancestor's path.

Seeing the petite girl's figure, Dongming Old Ancestor sized her up, a hint of strange color flashing in his eyes.

"A demon?"

"Pah, do you have any eyesight, old man? Your little miss is a descendant of the Divine Beast Clan!"

Bai Xianyin was angry, she pointed at Dongming Old Ancestor and shouted.

"Old man, look clearly—I am a member of the Tongshan Winged White Tiger Clan!"

Hearing 'Tongshan', Dongming Old Ancestor's eyes flickered slightly, and he changed his tone.

"So you are the guardian divine beast clan of the Divine Mountain lineage? I have been rude; I do not know why you have appeared here."

His gaze at this moment slightly searched Bai Xianyin, while also looking toward the depths of the valley; the auspicious qi and omens around the valley he saw in his eyes, and there were also faint strange lights in his gaze.

Seeing Dongming Old Ancestor's expression, Bai Xianyin instantly knew that this high-level cultivator at the Golden Core stage was not easy to deal with, so she spoke in a low voice.

"Old man, you haven't told me who you are; what right do you have to interrogate me?"

Bai Xianyin gave a light snort.

She deliberately assumed this proud posture; the fuller her aura, the more it signified she was not to be provoked, allowing the other party to gauge accordingly.

"I am Dongming Daoist of the Cavern Spirit Observatory!"

"A cultivator of the Dong generation?"

Hearing that, Bai Xianyin frowned slightly.

The Cavern Spirit Observatory is the state religion bestowed by the Great Qian Royal House; Bai Xianyin naturally knows its weight. They are combined with the Great Qian Court's ritual implements, making the entire Cavern Spirit Sect equivalent to receiving the suppression and endorsement of the Great Qian Court's ritual implements, and since they themselves are skilled at borrowing power techniques, they are quite troublesome.

Moreover, not to mention the strong ones among the first-generation disciples of the Cavern Spirit Observatory, the Dong generation.

Bai Xianyin gave a light snort.

"Dong generation, you are probably the weakest!"

She calmly said: "Old man, leave this place; my young master is cultivating a breakthrough below, you had better not disturb his breakthrough!"

"Young Master?"

Dongming Old Ancestor furrowed his brows.

Bai Xianyin proudly said: "Not bad; this is the closed-door disciple of my master, Slay Demon True Lord!"

"Slay Demon True Lord?"

Dongming Old Ancestor's expression changed; Slay Demon True Lord is notorious in the cultivation world, making him somewhat fearful, so he was about to turn and leave.

But just a moment later, his foot paused, Dongming Old Ancestor's eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Xianyin; a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Since there is a high person of the Divine Mountain lineage cultivating here, how could I not appear to meet them!"

"I too wish to meet the talented youth of the Divine Mountain lineage!"

Hearing that, Bai Xianyin's expression changed; she was about to step forward to stop him, but seeing this, Dongming Old Ancestor became even more certain that there must be some secret below. Bai Xianyin wanted to conceal it; at that moment a glint of essence appeared in her eyes, and her form turned into a flowing light flying toward the depths of the valley.

His trip originally came to take advantage of the ghost king in Phoenix Nest Mountain, attempting to subdue and turn it into a guardian ghost god for the Cavern Spirit Observatory; naturally he was unwilling to give up easily!

As for the Tongshan Dao lineage's great reputation, it still could not suppress the Cavern Spirit Observatory!

"Get lost!"

But then, at that moment, a cold sound came from the depths of the valley; instantly a dense black light like a silk ribbon sliced down from below, the black light seeming to exterminate all vitality. Under that sword light, Dongming Old Ancestor's hairs stood on end, countless blue lights intertwined in his hand, instantly condensing into a piece of blue rune-formed jade disc blocking before him.

At the same time, his figure burst backward.

But the black true qi sliced past, and that jade disc formed from condensed blue runes was instantly shattered.

"Slay Demon Exterminate Immortal Sword!"

Feeling this terrifying divine power, Dongming Old Ancestor let out a strange cry.

In his hand condensed a black long banner, and his figure became three tenths faster.

Like a blue-green meteor swiftly retreating.

But that sword light came like a meteor speeding forward, instantly enveloping him; in that moment Dongming Old Ancestor almost thought he would be sliced into fragments by the sword light.

He could only desperately activate the long banner in his hand to manifest a ghostly deity to block before him!

But in horror, he saw the ghostly deity instantly perish, and the long banner snapped into two pieces!

However, the sword light never completely sealed off its path of life; it grazed past Dongming Laozu's true form, as if the void were torn apart by black light, and a terrifying black streak appeared.

At this moment, Dongming Laozu was in a sorry state all over, his aura of elixir light faint, shock in his eyes, he gazed at the terrifying black hole behind him without uttering a word, his body turning into a stream of light that fled the scene at great speed.

"How terrifying!"

Meanwhile, down below, Zhang Jian watched the dark sword imprint deep in his palm gradually fade, a tremor in his eyes.

Just now, with a casual strike, he had almost killed the expert from Dongshen Guan on the spot.

Even the golden-core mystic light couldn't block it!

Perhaps even his master, Zhanmo Zhenjun, intervened; otherwise Dongming Laozu would surely have perished.

At this moment, two dark sword imprints still remained deep in his palm.

Bai Xianyin also witnessed this in the void, letting out a soft snort.

"This old geezer won't cry till he sees the coffin!"

In the void, Yuhe Daoren rode a gust of swift wind, arriving with extreme speed; from afar he saw a green meteor streak in, and within it Dongming Laozu's true form manifested, his body suffused with a seeping blood-red hue, his formerly suave face now filled with a hint of alarm; seeing Yuhe Daoren about to ask, he hastily waved his hand.

"Let's go, we need to leave this place right now!"

Yuhe Daoren wanted to ask, but seeing Dongming Laozu's sorry state, he wisely chose to stay silent; yet his eyes still held some astonishment as he gazed toward Fengchao Shan, unaware of what had transpired there to reduce Dongming Laozu to such a sorry plight, so much that he didn't even dare mention it.

……

In Fengchao Shan, Zhang Jian and Bai Xianyin had waited here for nearly half a month; on this day, a dense seven-colored divine light suddenly suffused the whole Fengchao Shan, and at the same time began to permeate the surroundings of Shuangfeng Shanmai.

A startling, earth-shaking clear phoenix cry suddenly echoed from deep within the mountain range.

This resonant phoenix cry was heard clearly by many ordinary mortals living around the Shuangfeng Shanmai.

Moreover, fiery clouds and rosy light suddenly poured down from the heavens, flowing toward a certain direction.
