Chapter 246: The Immortal Maiden Begs Me

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling said with a look of disdain, "That kind of low-grade Spirit Fire wouldn't even have had the chance to be devoured by me in the past; it's too low-level, just like something stuck between my teeth."

"It's a special situation, after all. Having something is better than having nothing. Just bear with it for now."

Seeing this, Su Chen curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

With the two of them going back and forth like this, the crowd didn't know whether they should be amazed that a Spirit Fire could actually talk, or shocked that they actually looked down on the Alliance Leader's Spirit Fire.

Shi Zhengxiong's heart sank further and further, and he wished he could tear the two of them to pieces immediately.

The Spirit Fire he had used for hundreds of years, which made countless people tremble in fear whenever he released it, and on which he had exhausted countless Heavenly Treasures just to upgrade it, had actually been belittled as being worse than trash.

He couldn't catch his breath and nearly fainted.

Seeing that the two were still there bickering and bargaining, completely ignoring him, the person involved.

And when the two finally finished their discussion, Xiao Ling, having suffered humiliation for so many years, naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity for revenge.

Stripping a Spirit Fire from its master is a very painful thing; one must forcibly devour the Spirit Fire completely, and the sensations of the Spirit Fire and the master are interconnected, which is even thousands of times more intense than the pain of the Spirit Fire burning one's own body.

In order to torture Shi Zhengxiong, Xiao Ling's speed was very slow, biting off the source of the Spirit Fire on him bit by bit, and with the sensation of burning and being torn apart, Shi Zhengxiong was in agony.

If it weren't for the vines binding him, he probably would have struggled until his head exploded on the spot.

The veins on his forehead bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, sweat poured down like rain, and his fists were clenched tight as he tried hard to break free from the vines' restraint, but there was no way.

He was at the mercy of others like a corpse, yet the expression on his face was as ferocious as a monster, and he was so disheveled that the appearance of a refined gentleman from before could no longer be seen.

When it was finally over, Shi Zhengxiong was a bloody mess from head to toe, and his original features could not be clearly seen.

"Really tastes bad."

Xiao Ling smacked his lips; even without a face, one could feel the deep disdain in his tone.

Shi Zhengxiong was completely enraged.

He bit the tip of his tongue and shouted toward the firmament: "Shi Zhengxiong of the Qingyun Alliance requests an Immortal to come and assist me!"

This shout was full of vigor, carrying resentment and dissatisfaction.

It also successfully attracted Su Chen's attention.

"You..."

Before Su Chen could finish speaking, he vaguely felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming from the firmament, a pressure even higher than that of Lv Luo.

He couldn't care about Shi Zhengxiong anymore and hurriedly looked toward the firmament.

He saw that the originally cloudless sunny sky was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and at the very center, a beam of light suddenly leaked out, as if splitting the sky in two.

And a figure slowly appeared within the light.

The voice arrived before the person did.

"Why do you summon this Venerable One?"

It was a charming voice, vaguely carrying a bit of impatience, the tone extremely lazy, as if all things in the world were not in her eyes, carrying a unique arrogance.

Immediately after, a red figure appeared.

She wore the exotic clothing of the barbarian people, her hair tied only with a red rope and adorned with silver bells, which emitted crisp, tinkling sounds as her hair fluttered.

Her red dress was extremely bold compared to the attire of most female cultivators; the upper body wore only a chest binder similar to a bellyband, embroidered with mandarin ducks, and red thin gauze covered her upper body, setting off her snow-white skin and making one want to leave marks on it.

The lower body was a short red skirt with tulle hanging to the ground, a pair of slender and white beautiful legs appearing and disappearing, the skin as red as blood and lustrous like milk.

Golden bells were tied to her feet, and she stood barefoot in the clouds, with a series of pleasant bell sounds coming as the wind blew.

A delicate little face was flawless, her light yellow pupils like a cat's eyes, or even more like brilliant gemstones, a small mole at the corner of her eye adding a bit of allure, her cherry-red lips seductive, and her high, petite nose adding even more flavor.

Her long green hair rested naturally behind her, with a few strands playfully sticking up, carrying an extreme contrast.

"Immortal, save me!"

Looking at Yi Zhuyue, Shi Zhengxiong seemed to have seen a savior and shouted for help in a panic.

Only then did Yi Zhuyue notice Shi Zhengxiong, who looked like a bloody mess beside a man.

She curled her lips in disdain and slightly raised a hand; Lv Luo's vines were all cut off by her, and Shi Zhengxiong flew to her feet.

Yi Zhuyue's movements were very rough; it could be said she threw Shi Zhengxiong over directly.

This made the already severely injured Shi Zhengxiong's situation even worse, and he coughed violently without stopping, snot and blood constantly bubbling out; he was as disheveled as one could possibly be.

Yi Zhuyue looked at Shi Zhengxiong with disgust, but hindered by the order given by her master, she still patiently asked: "How did you end up in this disheveled state, and for what reason did you call this Venerable One down?"

"Immortal, save my life! That brat below harmed the fellow disciples of my sect. I only asked him to hand over his maidservant, and I would have spared his life, but I didn't expect him to order the maidservant to kill me to silence me, and even forcibly devour my soul from my body."

Shi Zhengxiong had found his backbone and cried while complaining with snot and tears.

Yi Zhuyue was already very impatient with him, but hearing this, she felt something was a bit strange.

"He harmed your sect disciples, so you should just kill the brat; why did you have to have his maidservant handed over?"

Yi Zhuyue's beautiful eyes glared at Shi Zhengxiong, questioning him.

Shi Zhengxiong felt guilty under her gaze, but in front of this Immortal, any lie of his would have nowhere to hide, so he could only honestly say: "The Immortal does not know, that woman is at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm; if I could Dual Cultivate with her, my realm would definitely improve by several dimensions."

Looking in the direction Shi Zhengxiong pointed, Yi Zhuyue matched it up and immediately saw Lv Luo.

She raised her beautiful eyebrows; it was quite interesting that a Tree Spirit could actually cultivate to such a high cultivation realm.

But this old thing would stop at nothing to advance himself, though it was all a waste of effort.

Moreover, she had been in the Tianxuan Continent for so long and had never heard of anyone willing to Dual Cultivate with a Tree Spirit.

Although such things were common in their Immortal World, it was still a bit shocking here.

However, for Shi Zhengxiong to summon her for this little matter, he was also a stupid fool who betrayed his own side.

He wasn't strong enough to defeat others, yet he still played the game of forcibly seizing women; now that he was in this state, if it wasn't him bringing it upon himself, what could it be?

Thinking of this, Yi Zhuyue said impatiently: "You really are blinded by lust; if you call this Venerable One down again because of these stupid things you've done yourself, this Venerable One will absolutely not let you off."
