Chapter 532 - 192: Just Waiting for Her to Drain Her Husband
"Hey, Qiu Zhihe, your man was captured by the people from Celestial Phoenix Mountain, and you don’t seem very anxious?"
In the land of the South Demon, the sky was overcast, and a fairy in white was riding a flying sword, heading towards Celestial Phoenix Mountain.
Beside her was a petite girl, who was treading not on a flying sword, but a long sword condensed from frost.
On the other side was an even shorter little girl, sitting cross-legged on a giant hammer, which flew no slower than the flying sword and ice sword beside it.
The three were Jian Yue, Qiu Zhihe, and Little Hammer.
Not long ago, they left Sun and Moon Mountain, heading straight to Celestial Phoenix Mountain to rescue Qin Gengyun.
Qiu Zhihe was originally from the land of the South Demon, so she naturally knew where Celestial Phoenix Mountain was, but at the moment, she didn’t seem in a hurry, and her sword flight wasn’t very fast.
Jian Yue, respectful of the lord and lady, was obediently not asking much.
But Little Hammer couldn’t hold it in, shouting at Qiu Zhihe from the big hammer.
Qiu Zhihe didn’t answer, continuing her unhurried sword flight.
As the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect, she was naturally aware of the entanglements between the various factions of the South Demon land.
Back when the sect leader of Celestial Fall Sect requested the blood of the Phoenix descendants and was refused, he flew into a rage and ordered Joyful Union Sect to tarnish the reputation of Celestial Phoenix Mountain.
The intention was to make the world believe that Celestial Phoenix Mountain was a heinous evil sect, using the pressure of the Righteous Path sects to force Celestial Phoenix Mountain to seek help from Celestial Fall Sect, thereby easily obtaining the blood of the Phoenix descendants.
Qiu Zhihe understood the ins and outs of this matter but deliberately didn’t explain it to the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect, nor did she tell Qin Gengyun.
Because she knew an even bigger secret:
When the Celestial Phoenix Technique absorbs a man’s essence, if the man has a cultivation technique to counter it, he can absorb the Phoenix’s power from the other party’s body.
When Xia Qinglian fought against the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, she saw through the mysteries of the Celestial Phoenix Technique and created a counter-technique.
But she was not a man, so she never had the opportunity to use it.
When she thought of this in Qiushui Town, she devised a plan.
First, teach this technique to Qin Gengyun, then find an opportunity in the land of the South Demon to go to Celestial Phoenix Mountain, capture the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, and force her to use the Celestial Phoenix Technique to assist Qin Gengyun’s cultivation.
This way, her husband could obtain the power of the Phoenix Race.
Of course, this matter had to be conducted secretly. If the people of Zhenyang Sect learned that Celestial Phoenix Mountain not only didn’t kill people but was also very hospitable, sometimes even going out of their way to help,
They might flock to Celestial Phoenix Mountain, ruining her plan.
However, things took an unexpected turn. Before Qiu Zhihe could capture the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden captured Qin Gengyun instead.
Which was fine, as everything seemed natural.
There was no trace of her secret intervention.
So along the way, Qiu Zhihe proceeded leisurely, fearing that arriving too early might just disturb her husband’s counter-absorption of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.
Qiu Zhihe wasn’t in a hurry, but Little Hammer was: "Hey, Qiu Zhihe, isn’t that Qin guy your man? Do you want to save him or not?"
Just then, Jian Yue suddenly let out a sound of surprise and looked down at a patch of forest on the ground.
A moment ago, a red shadow flashed across that forest, looking like a rather large demonic beast.
Qiu Zhihe and Little Hammer also noticed, with Little Hammer expressing great curiosity:
"What kind of demonic beast is that big? Hey, Qiu Zhihe, Jian Xiyue, you’re both not in a rush, why not take a look?"
Qiu Zhihe shook her head: "We need to arrive at Celestial Phoenix Mountain at the right time."
If Qin Gengyun really absorbed the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s power, the other party would likely turn hostile, needing her to step in and protect her husband.
Jian Yue giggled: "I will follow the madam’s orders."
Little Hammer curled her lips: "Jian Xiyue, you’ve really become a mean person. Fine, fine, don’t go if you don’t want to go. Qiu Zhihe, just remember, after saving your man, we’d better have a good fight! Hey, did you hear me? Don’t try to renege!"
The three flew noisily overhead, while below in the forest, a partially transformed Qiongqi peeked out from beneath a large tree, face filled with fear.
"Those three women are terrifying! Who are they? Luckily, they didn’t notice me!"
This talking Qiongqi was none other than the Great Elder of the Celestial Fall Sect, Zuoqiu.
After the three women flew far away, Zuoqiu dashed in another direction.
"Such a good prey can’t go to waste. I need to quickly find a secluded spot, draw the Celestial Beast Array, and devour and absorb it for the best effect!"
Strapped on the Qiongqi’s back were the unconscious Wu Yiren and Mo Xiaolan.
...
Celestial Phoenix Mountain.
"Wow! So comfortable!"
"Sister Ying’Er, I still have some essence left, could you absorb it again?"
"Sister Qin’Er, have you absorbed enough? Want to try a bit more?"
A group of men surrounded the clan members of Celestial Phoenix Mountain, insisting they continue absorbing from them.
"Ah, Phoenix Maiden, Sister Zhu Lin, please save me, I can’t absorb anymore, and he still wants more!"
"Ah, don’t come any closer! Sister Zhu Lin, save me!"
Where before the Celestial Phoenix women were laughing, now they wore terrified expressions, fleeing incessantly.
"Sister Zhu Lin, are they really disciples of the Zhenyang Sect? They seem different from the rumors?"
The alluring and sexy Celestial Phoenix Maiden stood alongside the delicate-featured Zhu Lin, expressions puzzled.
Zhu Lin said: "When I absorbed essence from Taoist Friend Chun earlier, I noticed he seemed under the influence of an aphrodisiac pill. Their boldness is likely a result of this effect, we should knock them out for now."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden immediately ordered to knock out these wayward men, finally bringing silence to Celestial Phoenix Mountain.
"Saved!"
"Sister Zhu Lin is really attentive!"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden sighed in relief: "Sister Zhu Lin, good thing you’re here, I wouldn’t have had the patience to handle these people alone."
Zhu Lin smiled gently: "If I weren’t here, would you have killed them all?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s expression grew cold: "These so-called righteous sects believe the rumors, treating us as a demon sect they must eliminate. Why should I show mercy?"
Zhu Lin held her hand, smiling: "The Phoenix is a Divine Beast of ancient times, once considered an auspicious creature. With the purest Phoenix blood in your veins, what you truly want is to step out of the land of the South Demon and make Celestial Phoenix Mountain a Righteous Sect, isn’t it?"
The stunning and bold Celestial Phoenix Maiden, usually domineering, blushed like a girl in front of Zhu Lin:
"Sister Zhu Lin, that was just childish talk, what I despise most now are these pretentious so-called righteous!"
Zhu Lin looked at the fainted Chun Ningzhi: "Whether it’s a Demon Sect or Righteous, there are both good and evil, just like him. Even when facing death, he thought of the woman he likes. How could someone so sincere be any deceiver?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden suddenly stared at Zhu Lin: "Sis, you aren’t planning to leave with him, are you?"
Zhu Lin shook her head with a smile, looking at Qin Gengyun, who was still meditating. He was the only man not knocked out, and a hint of reluctance flashed in Zhu Lin’s eyes before she finally said to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden:
"Phoenix Maiden, after looking for so many years, we’ve finally met the prophesied destined one. Don’t hesitate, start now."
