Phoenix quietly approached the vast sky, spotting an unexpected figure on the top of a rugged peak as expected.
Yun Xiao bizarrely turned her head back and, at the first sight of the phoenix, even her composure faltered for a moment.
If the nicknameless Cloudsea and the nickname Displeased Azure Sky encountered this scene, they would definitely think that this celestial being looked very similar to Deng Changyu. Many people in the Primordial Chaos traced their bloodline and would all find the same source, merely because they looked alike. This is quite normal.
However, Yun Xiao had enough foresight and exceptional eyesight. She could discern many things, but at that moment, she hesitated to trust her eyes.
A trace of doubt appeared on the normally serene expression, and the more she knew, the more incredible it seemed.
How can this be possible? You've beheaded the corpse? You're joking with me!
The Phoenix walked up to her by herself: "You must be from the world of Huashan, right?"
The total time since we parted wasn't even three days, was it? You don't recognize me anymore? Yun Xiao's thoughts raced, and unusually, she did not respond immediately but instead looked the phoenix up and down. Even in battle, she was always respectful, but now she had failed to maintain her usual politeness.
Without seeing it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.
She did not shout and scream like Jingxiao or Bixiao; instead, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, "Since you resemble a friend of mine, I have been impolite. I apologize. May I know where you come from?"
The Phoenix proudly replied, "I come from the ancient cave-like mountains within the world of Yanfeng."
Yun Xiao:
Want to fight!
In the Primordial Chaos, strength is paramount. Those who possess greater strength command respect. The reverence for Deng Changyu was rooted in her status as a disciple of the Saint. Although she was called a sister, the relationship was akin to plastic sisters, and more often than not, it was due to the face value of Nuwa's respect. Now that Yun Xiao discovered this figure had also achieved this feat, she must express her respect.
She explained her reason for coming: "A day ago, a friend of mine, Luo, was hunting a fox and unfortunately fell into a trap. When I arrived, I found that he had been taken away by these people from the Xuanyu country."
The Phoenix couldn't help but find it amusing. Luo Xuan was indeed unlucky, both naive and playful. Yun Xiao wasn't as pure as she appeared on the surface, having waited patiently for a whole day before coming to save him.
Yun Xiao was straightforward and did not conceal anything: "I have been entrusted by several close friends from the Phoenix race to investigate these human beings who are digging up Phoenix relics."
Yun Xiao's brow furrowed slightly. Stealing corpses is a major taboo anywhere. Now, in the Primordial Chaos, there are no zombies or the art of alchemy, yet even so, immortals do not want their remains to be taken and played with by others, nor do they want them to be turned into all sorts of strange things.
"In that case, we should team up together."
You're absolutely right.
After a brief discussion, they set off separately to gather information.
The Phoenix transformed into a mosquito and stealthily entered to gather information.
Yun Xiao used a misty veil to conceal her tracks. Once the Phoenix had flown away, she reappeared in her true form.
Nine Palaces and Eight Methods of Boxing! You still say you're not Deng Changyu?!
Yun Xiao was puzzled. She couldn't understand how Deng Changyu managed to achieve this corpse. At first, she was momentarily stunned, but after a closer look, both the primary and secondary forms were of Jinshen cultivation. Unless Deng Changyu's level was much higher than hers, she felt she wouldn't have mistaken it.
How did Jinshen realm swat out a corpse? Does Daozu know?
Yun Xiao guessed that it was likely a secret method of Nuwa. The benefits of a Jinshen being able to swat out a corpse were tremendous. Not to mention other advantages, just the doubled rate of cultivation speed would be enough to make those Jinshen immortals envious.
It normally takes thousands of years to reach the Taiyi realm, but she managed to achieve it in just five hundred years. This gap is enormous. And what if she continues to progress? With half the time needed to reach the Daoshen realm and potentially even less time for those at the Zhensheng level, it's almost absurd.
Yun Xiao sighed lightly, estimating that Nuwa would not pass on such a secret technique to her two sisters. With a flick of her form, she also secretly entered the Xuanyu country.
Saving Luo Xuan was just a side task. Her original plan was to observe how the people of Xuanyu came to the Immortal Volcano. If there's a way for them to leave, then she would save herself some trouble.
Her thoughts shifted, but something was amiss. "Deng Changyu" had
She came over. Do I still need to figure out how to get out? Just use the Phoenix rod to open a portal back to the Primordial Chaos!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that whether to save Luo Xuan is no longer important.
She momentarily lost focus, and a particularly concealed frost crept up her shin like vines.
She stopped in her tracks. When she looked around, she found herself surrounded. A woman with a fair complexion, wearing a leopard print battle cloak, slender waist, and white teeth was watching her from not far away.
The woman sat on a rock. A heavy sword and a shield lay by her feet, which were clearly weapons used by warriors. There were also more than ten Xuanyu citizens standing beside her, tall and sturdy, with bows and arrows ready.
Yun Xiao gently lifted her leg, breaking free of the frost beneath it. She watched the female warrior calmly and with ease.
"Who are you?"
Wu Luo!
"The human warrior who guards the secret city of Qingyao Mountain for the Yellow Emperor?"
"Yes, that's me!"
Yun Xiao usually maintained her demeanor and set an example for her two younger sisters. She rarely got worked up, but now? She wasn't really excited, but just the sight of a skilled warrior woman made her somewhat eager to engage in swordplay.
Her hairpin still contained the imprisoned Wu Bing, the Goddess of Drought, a daughter of the Yellow Emperor. Now, she had encountered another female warrior from the era of the Yellow Emperor.
She unsheathed her sword, and Wu Luo, the warrior, stood up, holding one sword and one shield, taking a defensive stance. Her surroundings were filled with frost, indicating that she was not only a warrior but also the Ice Goddess appointed by the Yellow Emperor.
Yun Xiao was satisfied with the opponent's aura. Since no one in this area knows who she is, she could let Luo Xuan suffer a bit more and challenge this female warrior first.
The other side.
At the same time, as the phoenix transformed into a mosquito, she prepared to sneakily enter Xuanyu country. When she passed through a green mountain, suddenly a suction force appeared within the mountain, pulling in dirt, rocks, and trees around it. Every material within a radius of ten thousand meters was being pulled towards the mountain.
The phoenix transformed into a mosquito, but she was not an actual mosquito. With only three percent of her body strength used, she managed to escape the suction force.
"Rescue me, stranger! Rescue me!" A voice tinged with despair reached her ears.
The trick is really lacking in originality!
She sniffed disdainfully, but with the intention of gathering information, she feigned a helpful demeanor.
"Where are you? I'll save you!"
"My essence is trapped at the foot of the mountain. If you are willing, please come to the peach grove to the southwest to meet me."
The phoenix transformed back into her human form and approached a patch of fire-red peach orchard, examining it carefully.
Soon, she spotted a graceful figure under a tree. The woman had a delicate appearance, a slender waist, and teeth as white as snow. Most importantly, she wore a tight leopard-print cloak.
