Following closely behind, Wu Zhong launched a second attack.
This ti, the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix, furious, suddenly spewed out two Phoenix Divine Breaths.
Without any hesitation, Ye Lingyue received them fully, absorbing the two Phoenix Divine Breaths one by one.
Her bones, her internal organs, were also strengthened.
The third ti, three Phoenix Divine Breaths, the fourth ti, still three Phoenix Divine Breaths.
Flesh, hair, and even the Dantian, were all strengthened anew by the Phoenix Divine Breath.
Like a drug addict, Ye Lingyue felt an unprecedented strength in her body.
"Nine phoenix breaths, go!" Wu Zhong, seeing Ye Lingyue received nine phoenix breaths and thinking the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix must also be frustrated enough, decided it was ti to retreat.
But just then, Wu Zhong’s brow twitched heavily.
Although he couldn’t see Ye Lingyue, he felt that Ye Lingyue’s presence didn’t retreat imdiately as he had said before, instead...
"Ye Lingyue!"
The pupils of Wu Zhong, colored like glazed ceramic, shrank sharply, as if foreseeing sothing, his gaze fell upon the Phoenix Platform.
That reckless woman, after having obtained nine Phoenix Divine Breaths, had secretly sneaked onto the Phoenix Platform.
By then, the effects of Ye Lingyue’s Invisibility Elixir had already worn off.
With one glance, Wu Zhong saw a small figure, like an ant, crawling on the belly of the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix, stabbing it with the Star Saliva in her hand.
Wu Zhong’s heart clenched, a sense of panic unlike any before.
The Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix issued a sky-piercing cry, raising its claws towards Ye Lingyue, and Wu Zhong’s eyes instantly reddened.
"Don’t hurt her!"
A burst of black energy erupted from within Wu Zhong’s body, like the dark clouds before a storm, enveloping the entire Phoenix Platform.
Within the entire Phoenix Platform, everything was instantly prohibited.
The sound of the wind, the cries of the phoenix, everything, ti itself seed to have frozen.
Ye Lingyue only rembered, she had taken a drop of Phoenix Blood, and then...
Suddenly a pair of arms tightly embraced her, swiftly retreating.
"Have you gone mad?" Wu Zhong, furious to the extre, angrily grabbed Ye Lingyue.
"I told you to wait where you were! Who allowed you to take the Phoenix Blood!"
The way Wu Zhong looked, Ye Lingyue thought he would tear her into pieces.
But instead, he just held her tightly in his embrace.
A sense of guilt inexplicably arose.
"Wu Zhong, I just... I just suddenly rembered, Little Wuya also needs a drop of Phoenix Blood, it has Innate deficiencies, if it had Phoenix Blood... and I wouldn’t be in danger, I have..." She was protected by the Qian Cauldron, even if she was struck by the Phoenix, she could still save her life.
Ye Lingyue continued to try to explain.
"Shut up, if you keep chattering, I’ll kiss you."
Wu Zhong said irritably.
Ye Lingyue imdiately fell silent.
This feeling of losing and regaining, Wu Zhong didn’t like it at all.
His nearly hoarse and forceful look also made Ye Lingyue feel terrified.
At this mont, Ye Lingyue felt a surge of black energy emanating from Wu Zhong’s body.
This dark energy, akin to the Black Valley’s Hei Wu, seed even more potent.
Suddenly, the dark energy dispersed.
The Phoenix Platform shook intensely, and the Prohibition set by Wu Zhong beside the Phoenix Platform instantly dissipated.
The Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix, furious beyond asure after Ye Lingyue stole a drop of Phoenix Blood from it, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, fiercely pursuing Wu Zhong and Ye Lingyue.
At the sa mont, within the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, a series of bell tolls could be heard as multiple disciples hurried out.
"Disturbance at the Phoenix Platform, intruders on the mountain, imdiately close the Mountain Protection Array."
In the Cloud Mist Sea, streaks of golden light flashed, a circular Big Formation was quickly closing.
"Tch, wanting to close the mountain formation. Too bad, if only the Yaochi Pavilion Master was here, then she might have been able to stop ."
Wu Zhong sneered disdainfully, cradling Ye Lingyue in one arm while beside him, eight swords coalesced into a golden Heavenly Que, followed by a burst of hearty laughter.
He transford into a streak of golden light, without any hesitation, the Mountain Protection Array of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was instantly torn open with a large gap.
Without a mont’s hesitation, Wu Zhong carried Ye Lingyue like a rainbow piercing the sun, flashing past in an instant.
The female disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion who rushed over saw no trace of Wu Zhong.
On the Phoenix Platform, the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix that had been robbed of a drop of Phoenix Divine Blood let out a mournful cry, heavily landing on the Phoenix Platform.
A beautiful woman, wearing a feather crown and moon-white fairy shoes, with a rosy nose and crimson lips, still preserved her beauty well into middle age,
"Elder Ying, the disciples were incompetent, allowing the intruder to escape. He even tore a big hole in our Mountain Protection Array." The female disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion said with faces full of panic.
"Unacceptable, what are you standing around for, imdiately close off Divine Fall River, repair the Mountain Protection Array, dig three feet into the ground if necessary, but find those people. I really want to see who dares to brazenly intrude into the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion," Elder Ying fiercely rebuked the female disciples with a pale face from anger.
After scolding them, Elder Ying hurriedly went to assess the condition of the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix.
Upon inspection, Elder Ying gasped in shock.
The Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix had expended multiple phoenix breaths, not only that, it had also lost a drop of its most precious Heart Blood.
For Divine Beasts, apart from the spirit core, the most crucial aspect is Essence Blood, and Heart Blood is the essence of all the Essence Blood, equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation!
Such detestable robbers!
Even with exhaustive search and digging three feet into the ground, the people of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion still could not find the whereabouts of Ye Lingyue and the others because Wu Zhong and Ye Lingyue had long since escaped far away.
Only after escaping far away did Wu Zhong finally set Ye Lingyue down.
Ye Lingyue unfolded her hand, within her palm lay a drop of multicolored blood.
"You! You actually stole the Heart Blood from the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix?"
Upon seeing this, Wu Zhong was both amused and annoyed.
This Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was a treasure dear to the Pavilion Master’s heart, and here was Ye Lingyue, risking her life to steal blood, and directly taking the Heart Blood, truly fearless.
"With this drop of Heart Blood, we can make up for Little Wuya’s Innate deficiencies," Ye Lingyue smiled, her eyes curving, but then she saw Wu Zhong staring at her intently.
Her face flushed, she quickly stowed the Phoenix Blood away.
"Your recovery is about complete, up ahead is Yan City No.9, I won’t escort you back."
Wu Zhong paused slightly.
"You’re leaving?" Ye Lingyue exclaid, but almost imdiately wished she could bite her own tongue.
She should be hoping for him to leave, this man, always loving to tease her.
After this visit to the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, Ye Lingyue’s understanding of Wu Zhong deepened.
She would not forget, when she was almost struck by the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix, there was a mont when she felt everything around her freeze, even ti itself stopped, what exactly was that all about?
