Chapter 57: Zi Yan: Who Took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!

Outside the Huǒ Hóng Dà Diàn, strongmen continued to rush here in an endless stream.

At this moment, three figures moved swiftly through the crowd.

They were two men and one woman; both men had white hair and wrinkled faces, showing signs of old age.

The woman was Feng Qing'er, who had escaped from the Wind Thunder Pavilion back then.

"I didn't expect Yao Chen to possess such strength."

"But this time, he exterminated Blood River and other high-ranking members of the Soul Hall; I'm afraid the Starfall Pavilion is not far from destruction..."

An old man slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and spoke slowly.

Obviously, they had also heard about what happened before.

"Yes."

"So many people died, and the Soul Hall is furious; next time, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall might personally take action to eradicate the Starfall Pavilion..."

Another old man spoke with a tone of shock as well, shaking his head slightly.

However, Feng Qing'er slightly frowned, a trace of recollection in her gaze.

These people of the Soul Hall seemed to have been wiped out without any power to resist.

This made her involuntarily recall that scene.

In that scene was an indifferent figure.

Back then, the Wind Thunder Pavilion was also destroyed so casually by that person.

This method is so similar to the Wind Thunder Pavilion back then!

Yao Chen, can he really do this?

"Let's go in first."

"Originally, this ruin was expected to open in three or four days, but now it opened early, and we are already very late..."

Just as Feng Qing'er was still reminiscing, another old man spoke slowly.

The three exchanged glances and then headed toward the Huǒ Hóng Dà Diàn.

On Yun Yi's side, he had already arrived deep in the forest where many ancient medicinal herbs grew.

This was a seemingly ordinary flat area.

Lush green grass stretched endlessly, with a gentle breeze blowing across.

The grass blades swayed gently, with nothing strange at all.

However, Yun Yi sensed an abnormality.

His gaze was like that of a hawk or falcon, sweeping across the grassland as he walked forward slowly.

Every step was taken with great composure, as if feeling the pulse of the earth.

Finally, Yun Yi came to the place that felt extremely strange to him, extended his hand, and lightly probed the void ahead.

At one moment, his hand seemed to touch something.

A golden light suddenly appeared out of thin air.

This golden light formed an upside-down bowl shape, round on top below, covering an area of about ten zhang.

The light was dazzling, and the surrounding grass was dyed golden.

"This is the Beast Spirit Shield..."

Yun Yi recognized it at a glance and muttered to himself.

"Beast Spirit Shield?" Yun Yun followed behind Yun Yi, looking at the golden light shield and asking doubtfully.

"Mm."

Yun Yi spoke to explain, "Only demonic beasts with extremely strong strength in life can condense this kind of Beast Spirit Shield after death; whenever encountered, there must be extraordinary things hidden inside."

Yun Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and took out a Jade Bottle from his ring.

The Jade Bottle was crystal clear, inside was a drop of blood the size of a fingernail cover, flowing slowly in the bottle, emitting a faint light.

This was given by a good friend Yun Yi met when he entered the Southern Region back then.

She was called Feng Qingwan, from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.

Thinking of that old friend, Yun Yi's mouth corner slightly rose, revealing a faint smile.

He lightly pulled open the bottle stopper, touched the blood with his fingertip, and then drew a stroke in the air.

That drop of blood, as if pulled, turned into a blood line and shot toward the Beast Spirit Shield.

The moment the blood line touched the Beast Spirit Shield, golden light flickered, ripples spread on the Beast Spirit Shield, and then a passage slowly opened.

Yun Yi hesitated not at all and stepped into it.

Yun Yun took a deep breath and hurriedly followed.

Inside was a quiet space, with an ancient altar in the exact center.

A strange plant grew on the altar.

This plant emitted a soft light all over, its leaves were crystal clear, and at the top of the plant grew a round fruit.

"This fruit is actually like this..."

When Yun Yun saw the fruit, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and softly exclaim.

This fruit was about the size of a palm, golden and purple all over.

The golden half, winding and twisting, was a Tai Xu Ancient Dragon reduced countless times.

The other purple half was an Yuǎn Gǔ Tiān Fèng dancing with spread wings.

"This is the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, generally requiring the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon and the Yuǎn Gǔ Tiān Fèng to fall at the same time, their bloodlines mutually absorbing and fusing, before having an extremely low probability of growing into this rare treasure."

Yun Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

The immense energy contained within this fruit surprised even him.

"So that's how it is……"

Even though she had gained much knowledge by staying by Master's side, Yun Yun was still shaken by this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit at this moment.

Yun Yi knew that this item was truly miraculous.

If someone from the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan or the Demon Phoenix Clan could successfully refine it, this immense energy could boost them by three stars to Dou Sheng.

At this moment, Yun Yi hesitated not at all; he quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and rune after rune flew from his fingertips, circling around the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Afterwards, the entire Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was sealed by him and stored into his spatial ring.

……

Not long after Yun Yi left.

Outside this Beast Spirit Barrier, a group of people arrived.

They were Feng Qing'er and the two elders.

"Here, there is very likely a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit……"

Feng Qing'er looked at the Beast Spirit Barrier before her, a trace of anticipation and excitement flashing in her eyes.

As a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, she could sense the powerful energy fluctuations lingering here, which were extremely similar to the aura of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the legends.

"Hopefully we are not too late."

One elder said with full anticipation.

The three exchanged glances, then quickly stepped into the Beast Spirit Barrier.

However, when they saw that the altar was already empty, the smiles on their faces froze instantly, replaced by full surprise.

"It was actually taken by someone!"

The other elder said in disbelief.

"Someone got here before us……"

"Exactly who is it?"

Feng Qing'er frowned tightly, her heart filled with unwillingness.

She simply could not figure out that this Beast Spirit Barrier should require the bloodline of one of their two clans to open.

Exactly who could find and take away the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit before them?

Soon, two more figures quickly arrived.

One of them was a little girl with a head full of purple hair, petite in stature, exactly Zi Yan.

Beside her was also a tall middle-aged man, with a stern face, and a composure showing in his eyes.

He was an elder of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.

More than a year ago, Zi Yan had secretly run away because she was bored staying at Canaan Academy.

Afterwards she wandered to Zhongzhou, where she was discovered by her clansmen and brought back.

This time she also came along with the clan elder because of the Ancient Ruins.

"Looks like we are a step too late!"

Zi Yan looked at the empty altar, pouting her lips, her beautiful brows furrowed.

"Not that late……"

"That fruit is very likely in their hands!"

The middle-aged elder looked coldly at Feng Qing'er and the others, his brows slightly furrowed.

He could naturally sense the aura emitted by Feng Qing'er and the others that made him feel hatred.

Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!

"Since they took it, then snatch it back!"

Zi Yan narrowed her eyes, then together with the elder she attacked Feng Qing'er and the other two.

"Hand over the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!"

Feng Qing'er and the other two also had this suspicion.

"Even if we have it, we absolutely will not give it to you!!"

Enemies meeting, eyes especially red.

Several people instantly fought together; amidst the energy fluctuations, the scene was extremely chaotic!
