Chapter 21

  In the scorching space, there was no vitality at all, only the sound of gravel falling from time to time hitting the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake's body, causing painful cries. Dryness and dullness were the only dominant tone in this world.

  Under this dullness, time also becomes blurred and monotonous. Feng Qiuye and Huo Zui are like they have fallen into a deep sleep, without any movement or sound coming from them, but the increasingly vibrant vitality of the two is enough to make people understand that their situation should not be bad.

  Outside of their bodies, as time passed, a flame circle with two colors gradually appeared.

  Golden, crimson!

  Two colors, representing two strong flames, two equally stunning people sitting opposite each other, looking truly pleasing to the eye.

  At first, the extremely lustful nine-headed ice king snake was completely immersed in the evil beauty, drooling so much that it forgot about its own pain and the heat around it, while loudly lamenting why that young man wasn't a woman, otherwise his good fortune would be truly enviable!

  As time went on, even the most beautiful beauty would lose interest one day, let alone in such a harsh environment, where constant heat waves made it unbearable for something accustomed to ice and cold. And that damned man-eating vine had already crawled into the stone crevice, too afraid to come out again, when its master began to refine the evil fire! It left behind a "person" lying here, unable to move, at the mercy of those stones pounding against it, truly despicable.

  When it recovers, that damned man-eating vine will be torn into a million pieces.

  Hmph!

  At this time, it finally couldn't bear it anymore! Originally quiet at the bottom of the cave, with a shout from the nine-headed ice king snake, the two who were originally submerged in cultivation suddenly opened their eyes, and a delicate cold voice came out: "Phoenix Blood Residual Volume, Refine..."

  After a long time of refining and fusing the evil energy, Feng Qi and Xie had already established a strange connection between them. As a result, when the remaining Phoenix Blood in Feng Qi's body began to circulate, the evil fire also circulated along with the meridian of the Phoenix Blood.

  Rumble...

  When the evil fire was finally being refined by the Phoenix Blood, a layer of energy dark clouds suddenly emerged in the sky above. These dark clouds swirled around the Lieday Mountain, causing the already unstable mountain to shake violently once again.

  The sky suddenly produced a strange phenomenon, and the many strong men who were still circling around Liedayeshan without leaving all boiled up at once.

  "Heavens! Quick, look at that, what's going on?"

  As a loud cry echoed, the people who were digging in the scorching sun on Liedong Mountain, with their hearts set on excavating the evil fire, all raised their heads at this moment and gazed up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, shocked beyond words.

  The Phoenix clan disciples who were meditating with their eyes closed on the side also jumped up all at once, and even Feng Fei, who had been a fool since waking up, reacted this time.

  "Fei Ge, you say, will it...?"

  Feng Fei's face turned three shades paler, her fists clenched tightly, and even her fingernails dug into her flesh without her realizing it. No, definitely not, Xi'er will be fine for sure.

  However, he kept comforting himself by evading the facts, but a small voice broke his illusion.

  "Master, you said the evil fire was going to be reborn after devouring those two people?" Huo Jingyun quietly walked up to Yu Liu Fang's side and asked in a low voice.

  Yu Liu Fang's delicate eyebrows furrowed, although in theory it should be so, those young boys and girls were absolutely no match for that giant fire dragon transformed from the evil flame. It had already been half a month! Perhaps they had long been swallowed by the evil flame, perhaps not even their bones were left.

  But somehow he still feels uneasy.

  This feeling was just like when he saw her lead people into the Man-Eating Vine area, although it was absurd, but he just felt that this girl wasn't so easy to die.

  So, he stared at the Phoenix clan's descendants who had never left, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. If he didn't do anything, would it be unfair to the little girl's "deep affection"?

  The strange phenomenon in the sky did not last long, about the time it takes to have a cup of tea, the strange phenomenon in the sky retreated, and a gentle breeze passed by, leaving everything clear and calm.

  But at the same time, the originally scorching hot Liedeshan suddenly seemed to lose all its temperature in the blink of an eye. Everyone was shocked and confused, not knowing what had happened, as if in an instant, Liedeshan had completely lost its temperature.

  The scorching heat of Liedeshan has existed for thousands of years and never disappeared, previously unknown to be the cause of evil fire, but now it's known! And yet this high temperature suddenly disappears...

  What does this represent?

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and no one dared to guess the impossible possibility. However, Yuliufang didn't think so. Liedeshan suddenly lost its temperature, and just a few days ago, the giant fire dragon's roar could still be heard, but for half a month now, it had suddenly fallen silent.

  Fortunately, the scorching heat of Liedeshan still lingered, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find a reason to continue digging for the evil fire! But this time...

  That dead girl, it's as if everything impossible becomes possible when it happens to her!

  At the moment when the sun lost its temperature, all the young masters of the Phoenix clan were overjoyed. Yu Liu Fang's heart was filled with anger, and she lowered her eyebrows, her eyes cold. With a wave of her hand, a group of people immediately surrounded Feng Fei and others, before anything happened, he had to make thorough preparations.

  Feng Fei and the others were taken aback, but immediately their mood lifted. Originally pale-faced, he had also regained some of his natural color after seeing that sudden change, staring at Yu Liu Fang with a mocking smile: "What? Master Yu can't dig up the evil fire, I suppose this is to take it out on us?"

  Yu Liu Fang coldly smiled: "Don't be so smug, just relying on that little girl, do you still think she has the life to subdue the evil fire?"

  To be honest, he still didn't have the confidence in his heart. That girl looked like she wasn't a normal person at all, but the possibility was quite small. He hadn't forgotten that earlier, that girl had been bitten by the giant fire dragon and dragged away, how could she still be alive?

  At this time, the high temperature of Liedeshan suddenly disappeared! But it doesn't mean that it has nothing to do with that girl? Thinking of this, Yu Liu Fang's heart felt a lot more at ease.

  Is there no way to subdue the evil fire?

  Feng Fei and the others had a slight movement in their hearts, the previous scene, they all engraved it into their souls, and also watched with their eyes open as Xie Er was dragged away by that giant fire dragon. However... they really didn't want to believe that Xie Er was actually swallowed by that giant fire dragon! Although they knew that such hope was very slim, as long as there was a one in ten thousand chance, they would not give up.

  So half a month has passed! They have not left, still tightly guarding here, watching those people busy every day trying to dig out the evil fire. In their hearts, they are also hoping for a miracle to appear. Although as time goes by, they are becoming more and more desperate in their hearts, but before getting any results, they cannot give up hope.

  At this time, Yu Liu Fang finally couldn't help but take action against them. Would they understand that he was also worried that the evil child had subdued the evil fire and wanted to capture them first to threaten the evil child?

  Cold smile in heart, although being treated as prey is very annoying, but as long as the evil child can live and appear, they don't care!

  "Isn't it possible that the Jade Ancestor is much clearer about this than we are?" Feng Fei raised an eyebrow, and his usual proud demeanor returned, although his current appearance was somewhat unsightly. However, the unique aura that emanated from him, which was characteristic of the Phoenix family's descendants, was evident without a doubt, and it even made people overlook his current appearance.

  Moreover, after half a month of getting along with him, although he has always been expressionless, his heart is brighter than anyone else's. This Yu Liu Fang is incredibly powerful and has a cunning mind, not a good person. And the ambiguous attitude between him and Huo Jia Zhu, don't think he can't see it.

  "Now that I think about it, maybe Ye Er was right. The ones who forced us into the Man-Eating Vine area might have a connection with them: 'I think, our being forced into the Man-Eating Vine area, shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, Yu Zong Main?' "

  As he finished speaking, he stared at Huo Yun Cloud and said, "Huo family master, isn't that right?"

  Upon hearing this, Huo Xing's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't respond. Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on Yu Liu Fang, silently observing his reaction, speechless.

  It was Yu Liu Fang who burst out laughing, although he didn't explicitly admit it, but neither did he deny it. At this moment, in his eyes, Feng Fei and her group were no different from dead people. No matter whether Feng Qi was alive or dead, or if he had really subdued the evil fire, he would never let them leave Black Wood Ancient Forest alive.

  And now, his relationship with the Huo clan is still not something outsiders know about.

  "Being able to walk out of the Man-Eating Vine area is already a big luck for you, let's see if you can still pass this test with that good fortune!" Yu Liu Fang smiled warmly, but the cold intent in his eyes was enough to freeze people.

  Just as his voice fell, a group of people who were originally surrounding Feng Fei and others took a step forward.

  Feng Fei and the others, seeing this, were not surprised. Since they couldn't escape, they might as well fight it out with them! After all, Shimei's life or death was still unknown. If they could live to see her safe and sound, that would be great. But if they couldn't escape their fate of life and death, then the road to the Yellow Springs wouldn't be lonely either!

  At this moment, the sons of the Phoenix Clan drew their long swords in unison, forming a circle, releasing their dark energy and revealing their killing intent, facing off against the people of the Jade Cold Sect.

  The two sides drew their swords, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

  Feng Fei's eyes were bloodshot, and in his heart, a hint of hatred was constantly stimulating his soul. He hadn't forgotten that if it weren't for Yu Liu Fang's scheme earlier, Xie Er wouldn't have...

  So, this jade must be destroyed.

  No matter whether the evil child is alive or dead, this vendetta has been avenged!

  At this moment, he mobilized the Xuan Qi throughout his body. In that instant, as a genius disciple of the Phoenix Clan, his aura was fully revealed. His starry eyes were cold and stern, staring fixedly at Yu Liu Fang.

  "It's no wonder that you're a genius disciple of the Phoenix Clan, to have reached the level of Three-Star Grandmaster at such a young age! It's not easy!" Seeing Feng Fei like this, Yu Liu Fang couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The people of the Phoenix Clan were indeed not simple! At the same time, an idea slowly emerged: "If you're willing to serve my Jade Peak Sect, I'll let you leave today, how about that?"

  No matter how he looked at it, the group of young people in front of him were rare talents, and he suddenly had a mind for online fame.

  Feng Fei and the others heard this, suddenly sneered, and immediately looked at him with disdainful eyes: "You people of the Yu Lan Sect are all impure in heart, we Feng Clan descendants, how could we be on an equal footing with you? Do you think we are the Huo Family? It's really a shame for the five major families."

  Yulanshan has always been notorious, and it is said that the master of Yulanshan, Yu Liufang, is a lecherous and shameless scoundrel. From what he said to Xie'er earlier, those words were absolutely not just rumors.

  And also shamelessly said to let the evil child be his twenty-eighth concubine, go to his grandfather's twenty-eighth concubine. She is a talented young girl with the purest blood of the Phoenix clan, how can she be worthy of being high-ranking by an old man like him?

  Even if he just had the idea, it wouldn't have worked out, so he really deserved to die.

  Upon hearing Feng Fei's words, Huo was shocked and his eyebrows sank, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face.

  Yu Liu Fang coldly smiled: "Since that's the case, don't say I, the sect master, am heartless! Come, bring me..."

  What a group of ungrateful young people! What's wrong with young people these days? They're all so annoying.

  On the side, Huo Yun gazed at the two groups of people and horses fighting, a hint of joy quietly slipped onto his heart. These nine young men from the Phoenix Clan were all elites of the new generation of the Phoenix Clan. If they all died in this Black Wood Ancient Forest, what kind of waves could the future Phoenix Clan stir up?

  This is the second family's turn, it's time for them to take a seat!

  "Let's not waste words, we Feng clan descendants, none of us are afraid to die. If you kill us today, that's fine, but if not, the truth about the Huo and Yu families colluding to harm the five clans' descendants will be exposed to the world!" Feng Fei said loudly, with the other Feng clan descendants echoing in agreement, adding to others' worries.

  And that's exactly what they want.

  Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and a great battle was about to begin!

  With a loud shout, the two sides clashed in one place. For a time, blades and swords flashed, dust flew everywhere, and the aura of mystery was overwhelming. From time to time, miserable cries echoed out, and the killing intent spread throughout the outer circle of Lieday Mountain, startling the magical beasts deep within the Blackwood Ancient Forest, which occasionally let out beastly roars, also making people's hearts tremble with fear.

  The two sides fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand. As time passed, the battle grew more intense. Feng Fei and his men furrowed their brows, feeling that this chaotic fighting was not a good solution. No matter what, they only had nine people, while the enemy had many more; in the end, it would be they who suffered.

  So they want to reverse the situation, then they must take extremely drastic measures.

  At this moment, Feng Fei lightly flashed his body, wounded a disciple of the Jade Cold Sect, and then suddenly raised his energy. His figure rose high, and with a swing of his sword, he slashed towards Yu Liu Fang's head: "If you want my life, come yourself, sending some shrimp soldiers and crab generals is no skill at all!"

  Yu Liu Fang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since you're so eager to send yourself to death, come on then!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly swung his sleeve and a surge of majestic aura burst out, rushing towards Feng Fei.

  Feng Fei had long expected this move, and with a swift flip of his body, he narrowly dodged Yu Liu Fang's fierce attack. At the same time, he turned his body around and swung his sword down towards Yu Liu Fang's head once again.

  Yu Liu Fang raised her eyes, her figure didn't dodge or evade, the sword that Feng Fei swung down towards her was caught by her bare hand, and at the same time, she slapped out with her right palm, ruthlessly imprinting it on Feng Fei's chest.

  "Hmm..."

  Feng Fei let out a muffled groan and suddenly fell to the ground with a loud thud. Before he could get up, someone stepped on him heavily, pinning him to the ground.

  The force of that kick was so great, he felt his sternum almost shattered, unable to withstand the fierce force for a moment, and suddenly "puff" sound, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  "Your skills are decent, but how can you compare to the true master? You're really ignorant of your own mortality and overestimating yourself." A disdainful cold hum came from above.

  "Feng Fei sneered coldly: 'Yes! How could I, Feng Fei, compare to you, the first generation master, in terms of shamelessness? It's truly a case of overestimating one's abilities!'"

  "You...!" Yu Liu Fang's anger was rising, this little brat actually dared to say he had no shame, it was truly infuriating. Although his heart was filled with rage, he forced a smile and intentionally sighed: "Since you've already fallen into my hands, what should be done with you? Originally, I thought of just killing you with one sword, but I still have to consider the second family's feelings. Otherwise, I might as well let you off!" His voice paused for a moment, then he suddenly said: "But you dared to offend me like this, if I don't give you some punishment, you won't know my authority. If in the future everyone behaves like this, it will be truly troublesome!"

  Yu Liu Fang sighed intentionally, with a look of difficulty on her face, and a hypocritical expression that couldn't hide the cold intent flashing in her eyes.

  "The patriarch can spare his life, but there's no rule that says he can't be missing an arm or a leg. That way, it won't be considered not giving the Phoenix Clan face for the second generation either?" Huo Jingyun smiled sinisterly and said to Yu Liu Fang.

  Yu Liu Fang nodded, and with a sudden palm wind, the long sword that Feng Fei had dropped to the ground was sucked into his palm. At the same time, he raised his sword and swung it down at Feng Fei's legs.

  "Fly..."

  "Brother Fei..."

  The sword in front of him slashed down at Feng Fei's legs, and the proud genius son of the Phoenix Clan would be ruined like this! The Phoenix Clan disciples involuntarily cried out in pain, wanting to rush forward to rescue him, but they were all blocked by countless Jade Raksha Sect disciples, how could they rescue him?

  They watched helplessly as Yu Liu Fang's long sword swung down mercilessly.
