Hearing the noise, Bo Qing paused his hand.
"Who are you?"
Noticing sothing amiss, both Bo Qing and the person from the token shouted simultaneously.
A man?
Almost simultaneously, a sharp aura filled the space between the two.
The token that fell from Ye Lingyue’s arms was indeed the Phoenix Token.
The Phoenix Token is a treasured heirloom of the Feng Residence, and the holders of it, even if separated by mountains and rivers, share a mysterious bond.
When Ye Lingyue was threatened by Fire Spirit Ziyan, at the other end of the Ancient Nine Provinces, Di Shen, on a mission, felt the Phoenix Token in his pocket inexplicably heat up.
He knew for sure that sothing had happened to Ye Lingyue.
Despite being embroiled in a desperate chase with a wanted demon beast, he quickly contacted Ye Lingyue, yet she didn’t respond as promptly as usual.
Di Shen spared no effort, contacting again and again, but unexpectedly connected with Bo Qing.
"Are you Wu Zhong?"
Though he couldn’t see the man’s true face on the other side of the token, with a man’s intuition and the innate authority in the voice from the other end, Bo Qing imdiately determined the identity of the other party.
Di Shen didn’t deny it. Having absorbed parts of the demon clan flesh and soul fragnts from the Ghost Valley Butterfly, he roughly understood himself to be a fusion of Feng Xun and Wu Chong.
So, in a sense, calling him Wu Zhong wasn’t entirely incorrect.
"It really is you! Wu Zhong, you bastard, I entrusted Ling Yue to you, and you let her venture alone into a godforsaken place like Huangquan City. If anything happens to her, I’ll tear apart the entire Underworld Yama Palace to drag you out!"
Since arriving in the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, Bo Qing had been devoted to cultivation, remaining oblivious to events in the Qing Province Continent over the past two or three years.
He was even unaware that Ghost Emperor Wu Chong had long vanished from the Qing Province Continent.
"Shut up, I’ll give you a chance to fight if you want. Just tell , what’s happened to my wife?" Di Shen had no clue where this wild man suddenly popped up from.
But from his tone, it seed he was acquainted with him and his wife, and judging from his words, he was an admirer, which irked Di Shen to no end.
Yet simultaneously, he was very worried. From the wild man’s words, it seed his wife was currently in danger. The thought of this drove away any jealousy as he wished fervently to sprout wings and fly to her side.
"Pah, who’s your wife. Ling Yue is injured, unconscious, and I’m trying to save her."
Bo Qing glanced at Ye Lingyue lying on the bed, his face full of worry.
"Useless. Tell , what led to my wife’s injury, and what are her current physical symptoms?" Di Shen cursed.
"You!"
Bo Qing was furious. If Di Shen were in front of him at this mont, the two n would probably start fighting.
Di Shen felt the sa way.
Just imagining his wife with this wild man made him feel like a hundred claws were scratching his heart.
But concerning Ye Lingyue’s safety, Di Shen and Bo Qing decided to temporarily set aside their differences.
Bo Qing explained how Ye Lingyue got injured at the underground arena tournant by the Mu Huo Team and a mysterious Fire Spirit, which led to her persistent high fever.
At this ti, Bo Qing’s pupils suddenly contracted.
During the recent exchange, Bo Qing noticed that due to the high fever, Ye Lingyue’s whole body turned red, and an indistinct mark appeared on her neck.
"Wait, there’s a mark... on Ling Yue’s neck."
"What mark, describe it in detail."
Di Shen, who had spent years together with Ye Lingyue, knew she had no marks on her body.
"It seems to be a totem, sowhat like an animal. Yes, definitely an animal. Two animals, one on the left and one on the right. The right one looks like a fox with many tails, and the left one seems to be a deer or a horse."
Bo Qing pondered and tried to touch the mark.
But as soon as he touched it, the mark suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
A terrifying, vast power, like the ocean, emanated from the mark, and both Bo Qing and Di Shen felt this force simultaneously.
This feeling... Divine Power.
Both Di Shen and Bo Qing’s cultivation had surpassed the traditional aning of reincarnation experts in the Qing Province Continent.
Especially Di Shen, who possessed the bloodline of the Demon Ancestor, fought with several Divine Realm gods before his reincarnation.
Although Di Shen’s mory was incomplete, when the divine power from the mark on Ye Lingyue radiated, it inadvertently triggered certain mories in Di Shen.
From the other end of the Phoenix Token, Di Shen blurted out.
"A seal, it’s not just a mark, but a seal. It was created through the joint divine power of at least two Divine Sovereign level gods."
How could a seal left by a powerful god exist on Ling Yue?
Both Di Shen and Bo Qing were stunned.
After a brief contemplation, Di Shen spoke.
"Look carefully at the seal. If I’m not mistaken, that seal was originally on her body but was never activated due to certain reasons. This recent competition possibly exposed it due to Fire Spirit absorption."
Bo Qing nodded and examined the two-beast etched seal on Ye Lingyue’s neck carefully.
Upon closer inspection, Bo Qing noticed sothing unusual.
"Three-quarters of the seal radiates divine power, but one-quarter is dark, suggesting a loss of divine power."
Bo Qing also noticed that the dim part was densely populated by Fire Spirit.
It was this area of divine power loss where the Fire Spirit was active, causing Ye Lingyue’s persistent fever.
"I think I’ve found the root cause. The mark is probably not harmful, but beneficial to Ling Yue. Wild man, what’s your approximate cultivation level?"
Despite his reluctance, Di Shen was thousands of miles away, unable to offer imdiate help. Only by enlisting Bo Qing’s help could Ye Lingyue be saved.
"Who are you calling wild man, Wu Zhong, don’t think I’m afraid of you." Bo Qing’s mild temperant, honed over years in the Ancient Nine Provinces, crumbled instantly when confronting Di Shen. That man couldn’t say anything nice.
Still, seeing Ye Lingyue unconscious, Bo Qing had to swallow his pride and reluctantly answered, "My cultivation is around the Small Divine Power Realm."
ntioning this, Bo Qing felt a little smug. Before eting Ye Lingyue, he was a lazy type, disliking martial arts, but with exceptional talent and luck, earning the title "Treasure Child."
Experiencing repeated fortuitous encounters and diligent cultivation propelled Bo Qing’s cultivation much faster than an average person’s lifeti of training.
Yet little did he know, upon hearing this, Di Shen rely retorted.
"Just Small Divine Power Realm, still not enough."
