At first, Li Haoran was resistant to Su Yiren. He thought, how could he, a proud man, live off a woman? He wanted to be independent like Senior Brother Lu.
Later, he found Su Yiren to be beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, and caring, exuding maternal qualities that made one want to be spoiled by her.
Now, seeing Su Yiren’s powerful punches and kicks, leaving the phoenix unable to get up, he thought his small frame was no match for the phoenix. For safety reasons, he decided to stay away from Su Yiren.
This is what it means to stay true to oneself.
Li Haoran’s legs trembled, extinguishing any thoughts of relying on Su Yiren for support.
He simply didn’t have the physical strength for it.
Walking on the street holding arms might just lead to broken arms. If their relationship progressed further, he couldn’t imagine the damage his body might endure.
Lu Yang seemed to understand Li Haoran’s state of mind and patted his shoulder. “Everything has its pros and cons.”
Not only Li Haoran, but even the county governor and the head of the Mo family were shaken by Su Yiren’s terrifying fighting style.
This senior looked delicate and weak, but when she fought, it was as if she turned into a different person.
They had come underground to see if there was any need for help, but now they were worried that if they went down to help, Su Yiren might beat them up as well.
“Is this senior from the Dao Seeking Sect a body cultivator?”
They both thought Su Yiren was some elder from the Dao Seeking Sect.
“Senior Su is not an elder of the Dao Seeking Sect; she is his fiancée,” Meng Jingzhou introduced Li Haoran, an outstanding young man from Luo Feng County.
The county governor and the head of the Mo family were filled with respect.
While the people above were chatting and laughing, the state of the Nine Nether Sect followers below was not so good.
In order to refine the phoenix’s corpse, destroy Luo Feng County, and provoke a conflict between humans and the phoenix clan, he had planned for years, studying ancient texts, consulting elders, exploring ruins, and finally learning how to refine the phoenix’s corpse.
The phoenix clan advocated peace and had good relations with humans. If he could provoke a conflict under the guise of refining the phoenix’s corpse, leading to war, countless lives would be lost, sending more souls into the cycle of reincarnation.
Just one step away!
Just one step away!
How could a Unity Stage expert suddenly appear?
“Even if you’re in the Unity Stage, it doesn’t matter!” the Nine Nether Sect follower screamed, completely insane.
Controlling such a massive corpse was a test of his cultivation and mental strength.
Logically, other Nine Nether Sect followers should have helped him bear the burden of control, but they had already been killed by Su Yiren.
The old phoenix ignited into fierce flames, crackling, with even the space showing signs of distortion. Even Lu Yang and his group standing at the edge could feel the rolling heat waves coming one after another.
The county governor had no choice but to take out a string of golden bells from his storage ring, shielding everyone.
Su Yiren stomped on the phoenix’s back, causing it to crash down, but the flames did not weaken in the slightest.
True Phoenix Flames could dissolve everything, including the earth. This underground hollow was burned out by the true flames. If the flames spread unchecked, the entire Luo Feng County would turn into a sea of fire!
True Phoenix Flames and True Golden Dragon Flames were flames as renowned as the Samadhi True Fire, famous and formidable.
“True Phoenix Flames are as troublesome as ever when they bloom,” Everlasting Fairy observed in the spiritual space, recalling the prodigies of the phoenix clan she had taught.
Prodigies of the dragon and phoenix clans naturally mastered their clan’s signature skills, their control over fire was masterful, perfect for cooking.
“Is there a way to counter it?” Lu Yang asked hurriedly. If there was no way, he would have to summon his Eldest Senior Sister.

“There’s a unique acupuncture point in the middle of the neck of a phoenix. It’s the source of the True Phoenix Flames. Hit that point, and it won’t be able to spit fire anymore,” Everlasting Fairy provided the solution at the critical moment.
Hearing this, Lu Yang quickly transmitted the information to Su Yiren. She glanced at Lu Yang in surprise but didn’t think much of it, assuming that a Dao Seeking Sect disciple would be well-versed in such knowledge from their sect’s teachings. After all, his master was the sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect.
Su Yiren targeted the spot Lu Yang mentioned and charged forward. The True Phoenix Flames surged towards her like a mad tide. She clenched her five fingers together, her right hand forming a fist, positioned at her waist. With a sudden burst of power, she punched, distorting the space in front of her, rendering the True Phoenix Flames unable to approach her.
“Die!”
Su Yiren threw another punch, producing a sound like muffled thunder, striking the old phoenix’s neck. The True Phoenix Flames, as if losing their source, gradually vanished.
“What’s going on?!” The Nine Nether Sect follower was horrified. The True Phoenix Flames were said to dissolve everything and be inextinguishable—how could they just disappear?
Everlasting Fairy had revealed a secret known to very few within the phoenix clan, let alone the Nine Nether Sect followers.
Without the True Phoenix Flames, the old phoenix was no longer a threat. The Nine Nether Sect follower, in a desperate attempt to fight his way out, found himself unable to move, hammered down by Su Yiren.
Su Yiren was also inwardly furious. After acting like a quiet and demure lady for several days to leave a good impression on Li Haoran, it had all been ruined by this situation.
Damn Nine Nether Sect!
Die, die, die!
Seeing Su Yiren’s earth-shattering punches, one after another, Li Haoran’s eye twitched involuntarily.
If those punches landed on him, not even his soul would be left.
Finally, Su Yiren delivered an extremely powerful punch, the sound of which penetrated the ground. The entire Luo Feng County could hear it, marking the end of the battle.
She tore open a gap in the phoenix’s corpse and pulled out the Nine Nether Sect follower, directly searching his mind. She frowned immediately.
During the fight, this follower had used his spiritual sense far beyond its limits, leaving his mind in complete disarray, revealing nothing useful.
In other words, the follower had gone insane.
“Unlucky,” Su Yiren said as she snapped the follower’s neck, sending him to the Nine Nether Hells.
The underground hollow left by the battle was difficult to manage. Su Yiren temporarily used the power of rules to stabilize the upper space, leaving the Great Xia Dynasty to handle the rest. She wasn’t skilled in this area.
“Thank you, senior, for your assistance. Without you, Luo Feng County would have struggled to escape this disaster,” the county governor sincerely expressed his gratitude, cupping his hands.
“Don’t thank me just yet. What’s the deal with this phoenix bloodstone? Explain it.”
“Senior, there’s really nothing special about this phoenix bloodstone. I just found it interesting…” The county governor was clearly reluctant to tell the truth.
Lu Yang took out a recording orb. “This contains evidence of the county governor breaking into private homes, stealing property, and colluding with the Nine Nether Sect.”
“Wait a minute, breaking into homes and theft aside, when did I ever collude with the Nine Nether Sect?”
Lu Yang played the recording orb. In the recording, a Nine Nether Sect follower climbed over a wall, with the county governor and the head of the Mo family following him into Meng Jingzhou’s guest room.
The recording stopped there.
“And what about after that? Where’s the part where the two of us extracted information about the Nine Nether Sect’s plans and prepared to fight?” The county governor and the head of the Mo family were frantic.
Lu Yang remained expressionless. “The recording orb malfunctioned. It doesn’t show anything after that.”
“If the county governor is willing to explain the reasons, I might be able to fix the recording orb.”
“Dao Seeking Sect disciples are indeed worthy of their reputation,” the county governor said through gritted teeth.
