Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 229: Chapter 228 Phoenix True Flame_1

At first, Li Haoran was resistant to Su Yiren. As a strong man himself, how could he depend on her for sustenance? He wanted to be independent like Senior Brother Lu.

Later, he found Su Yiren to be beautiful, kind, gentle, and nurturing, inspiring a desire to be pampered by her.

Now, he saw Su Yiren’s every move filled with power, even the Phoenix was beaten to the point it could hardly rise again. He realized his physical stature was far from matching that of the Phoenix. For safety reasons, he decided to keep a distance from her.

This was what they call, sticking to your principles.

Li Haoran’s legs trembled, extinguishing the budding idea of relying on her.

He had the will but lacked the physical strength.

A broken arm from a street fight was one thing, but if their relationship advanced, he shuddered to imagine the destruction his body would face.

It seemed that Lu Yang understood Li Haoran’s mental state, and he patted his shoulder, “Everything has its pros and cons.”

Not just Li Haoran, even the County Magistrate and the Head of the Mo Family felt a shudder in their hearts when they saw Su Yiren’s terrifying fighting methods.

This elder, who looked fragile and vulnerable, had transformed into an entirely different person once the fight started.

They had come underground to see if any help was needed. But now, they were wondering if they stepped in to help; Su Yiren might throw a punch their way too.

“Is this elder from Seek Dao Sect a Body Cultivator?”

They both thought that Su Yiren was some Elder from Seek Dao Sect.

“Senior Su is not our Elder from Seek Dao Sect; she is his fiancee,” Meng Jingzhou introduced Li Haoran, the outstanding youth of Luofeng County, with great solemnity.

The County Magistrate and the Head of the Mo Family showed respect.

While the group above was engaged in lively chatter, the situation for the followers of the Nine Nether Sect below was not good.

The plot to use the Phoenix’s body, destroy Luofeng County, and ignite conflict between the human race and Phoenix tribe had been in the making for several years. After consulting historical records, exploring ancient ruins, and consulting with his seniors, he finally found a way to use the body of a Phoenix.

The Phoenix tribe had a good relationship with the human race. If he could use the situation to create a conflict and turn it into a war, countless casualties would feed into the cycle of Reincarnation.

Just one step away!

He was just one step away!

How did a Unification stage cultivator just appear out of nowhere?

“Even if you are in the Unification stage, it won’t work!” The Nine Nether Sect’s follower yelled, completely losing his mind.

Controlling such a grand corpse was a test of his cultivation level and spiritual power.

Normally, there would be other followers of the Nine Nether Sect to help share the pressure of controlling the corpse, but they had already been killed by Su Yiren.

The Old Phoenix erupted into raging flames, causing even the space to show signs of distortion. On the outskirts, the likes of Lu Yang could feel the heat waves coming in waves.

The County Magistrate had no choice but to produce a string of golden bells from his Storage Ring to protect everyone.

As Su Yiren stepped on the Phoenix’s back, it plunged downwards, but the flames showed no signs of weakening.

The True Flame of the Phoenix could melt everything, including the earth. This underground cavity had been burned out by its flame. If allowed to spread, the entire Luofeng County would be engulfed in a sea of flames!

The Phoenix’s True Flame, the Golden Dragon’s True Flame—these were famed flames on par with the Samadhi True Fire.

“The Phoenix’s True Flame is still as tough to handle as ever when it’s unleashed,” Fairy Eternity commented from the Spiritual Space as she watched the battle. It reminded her of the geniuses from the Phoenix Tribe she had once mentored.

The dragon and phoenix geniuses naturally had access to their tribe’s unique skills. Their mastery of the flames was unparalleled and suited to cooking.

“Is there any way to restrain it?” Lu Yan anxiously asked. If there wasn’t, he would have had no choice but to summon his Eldest Senior Sister.

“A Phoenix has a unique acupuncture point in the middle of its neck. It is the source of the Phoenix True Flame. If that point is struck, it can’t spit out flames anymore.” Fairy Eternity didn’t miss a beat at this critical moment and provided a solution.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang quickly relayed the message to Su Yiren. She turned around in surprise to look at Lu Yang, but didn’t think much about it. She assumed that the disciples of Seek Dao Sect had a broad knowledge base and might have learned this in a class.

After all, his master was the Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect.

Su Yiren aimed at the spot pointed out by Lu Yang and charged over. The Phoenix True Flame surged towards her as if it had gone mad. She clenched her right hand into a fist at her waist, suddenly exerting force, and struck a punch. It completely distorted the space in front of her, stopping the Phoenix True Flame from approaching her.

“Die!”

Su Yiren threw another punch, creating a sound just like muffled thunder, striking the neck of the Old Phoenix. The Phoenix True Flame seemed to lose its source and gradually faded away.

“What’s going on?!” The followers of the Nine Nether Sect were horrified. The Phoenix True Flame was known to melt anything it met and was indestructible. How could it just disappear?

The secret of the Phoenix Tribe that Fairy Eternity told Lu Yang was known by very few within the tribe, let alone the followers of the Nine Nether Sect.

With the Phoenix True Flame gone, the Old Phoenix was no longer a threat. The followers of the Nine Nether Sect tried to break free with a desperate momentum, but they were immobilized by Su Yiren’s strikes.

Su Yiren was also furious. After pretending to be a gentle and quiet lady for several days to leave a good impression on Li Haoran, her efforts were ruined.

Damn the Nine Nether Sect!

Die! Die! Die!

Watching Su Yiren’s earth-shaking fists, one punch after another, Li Haoran’s eyes couldn’t help twitching.

If those punches were directed at him, he figured even his soul wouldn’t be spared.

In the end, Su Yiren struck a punch that was both rigid and fierce. The sound traversed the ground, audible throughout Luofeng County, which indicated the end of this battle.

She tore open a crack in the dead Phoenix’s body, pulled out the follower of the Nine Nether Sect, and directly searched his mind, then frowned.

In the recent battle, This follower had used spiritual sense far beyond his capacity, which caused his mind to be in a mess.

In other words, this follower had gone mad.

“What bad luck.” Su Yiren snapped the follower’s neck, sending him straight to the Nine Nether.

The underground cavity left by the battle was a bit difficult to deal with, Su Yiren temporarily used the power of laws to stabilize the upper space. As for the rest, she would leave it to the Great Xia dynasty to handle.

After all, she wasn’t good at such things.

“Thank you for your help, Senior. Without you, Luofeng County would probably have been unable to escape this disaster.” The County Magistrate expressed his gratitude earnestly.

“Don’t rush to thank me. Let us first discuss this Phoenix Blood Stone. What is the story behind it?”

“Senior, this Phoenix Blood Stone really isn’t anything special. I just thought it was interesting…” It was clear that the County Magistrate didn’t want to tell them the truth.

Lu Yang took out a Recording Orb: “This has evidence of the County Magistrate breaking into someone’s home and stealing their property. It also shows that he conspired with the Nine Nether Sect.”

“Wait a minute, breaking and entering and theft I can accept, but when did I ever conspire with the Nine Nether Sect?”

Lu Yang played the Recording Orb. In it, followers of the Nine Nether Sect were shown climbing over a wall and the County Magistrate and the Head of the Mo Family following behind them. They all headed towards Meng Jingzhou’s guest room.

The image stopped there.

“Where are the parts that show us uncovering the motives of the Nine Nether Sect and preparing for the battle?” The County Magistrate and the Head of the Mo Family grew anxious.

With an expressionless face, Lu Yang replied, “The Recording Orb is broken. It doesn’t show anything beyond that.”

“If the County Magistrate is willing to explain the reasons, maybe I will find a way to fix the Recording Orb.”

“Those rumors about the disciples of the Seek Dao Sect are well deserved!” The County Magistrate gritted his teeth as he spoke.
