Painting of the Nine Immortals

Gong Suo Xin’s words petrified Ling Xian.

After some time, he reluctantly asked, “You are referring to… the legend of the real phoenix?”

“You know about it?” Gong Suo Xin’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Not only do I know about it, but I also came to Tianzhou for it.” Ling Xian bitterly smiled.

“What a coincidence.”

Gong Suo Xin brightly smiled. “I was wondering why you are in the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix. So you came for the Nirvana Fountain.”

“That’s right.”

Ling Xian nodded softly. His eyes flickered with anticipation, “You said you are going to give Jiu Ge an opportunity. Could it be… you know where the Nirvana Fountain is?”

“Most people don’t know, how would I know?”

Gong Suo Xin grinned brightly, “But, Jiu Ge might know. Have you forgotten? She is a half-blooded phoenix.”

“Half-blooded phoenix?” Ling Xian was a little surprised but then he realized.

Back then when he first met Huang Jiu Ge, she was merely a phoenix with impure blood. But after he cleansed her with his Flame of Purity, she became a half-blood.

In other words, Huang Jiu Ge now is deeply linked to real phoenixes.

“You mean… Jiu Ge can sense that real phoenix?” Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, anticipation flashed across his eyes.

“I am not too sure about that.”

Gong Suo Xin nodded softly. “But, the real phoenix did fall here. That is an undeniable fact. Perhaps Jiu Ge can sense something, maybe give us a hint. After all, the power of blood is miraculous.”

“That is true.”

Ling Xian deeply believes in the power of blood. To beasts, in particular, much unbelievable power lies within.

Using the howling sky tiger that he killed several days ago as an example, after it burned its ancestor’s blood, it was able to summon its ancestor’s white tiger’s silhouette. That is one of the powers of the blood.

Huang Jiu Ge, as a half-blood phoenix, may perhaps be able to borrow strength from its blood and sense the real phoenix.

Therefore, Ling Xian’s gaze shifted towards Huang Jiu Ge with high expectations.

“Master, I…”

Being stared at by Ling Xian like this made Huang Jiu Ge nervous, “I am not certain if I can do anything.”

“That’s okay. It’s best if you can sense something, if not, then it’s okay.” Ling Xian waved his hand, indicating to Huang Jiu Ge that there is no need to be nervous.

“Alright. You and Jiu Ge and stay here and look for traces. It’s time for me to return to that detestable Clan’s place.”

Gong Suo Xin spoke suddenly. Though there was a faint smile on her lips, she gave off nothing but cold vibes.

Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, “I do not know what kind of hatred there is between you and the Wang Clan, but I can tell this hatred runs deep. It’s not just you who hates them, some people from the Wang Clan also hates you.”

Pausing, he then continued in a low voice, “So, are you certain that you will be okay.”

“Don’t worry. Since I came, I have the confidence that I can protect myself.”

Gong Suo Xin played with her bangs and faintly grinned, “To tell you honestly, I am the only holy daughter of the Wang Clan. My status is high.”

“That’s not true.”

Ling Xian shook his head and stared deadly at Gong Suo Xin. “If your status is so high, you wouldn’t have wound up in Yunzhou in the Qin Dynasty.”

“I knew I can’t hide anything from you.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled helplessly. “But, I really am the holy daughter of the Wang Clan. It’s just that, many people, especially the Clan Leader’s generation, they all want to kill me.”

“Clan Leader’s generation…”

Noticing this keyword, Ling Xian frowned a little. “It’s the kind of drama where they want to take the high seat?”

“Smart. My father was the precedent Clan Leader. In other words, I was supposed to be the next Clan Leader.”

Gong Suo Xin remained smiling. She was beautiful and moving, but her eyes were getting colder and colder, so cold that people were shivering.

“So it’s true…”

Ling Xian softly sighed, “I am not interested in knowing what exactly happened in between. I can guess it. I merely care about whether or not you have the ability to protect yourself?”

“I told you. I am the true heir.” Gong Suo Xin beamed lightly.

“Don’t play games. They killed your father, why would they care about your position?”

Ling Xian waved around his hand. “I cannot deny that your status is useful. However, without a powerful backbone to rely on, your identity is useless.”

“Don’t worry, my third grandpa has awakened. With him around, they wouldn’t dare to touch me.”

Gong Suo Xin confidently smiled. Something in her eyes was swirling, “This time, I am going to make those people pay with blood. All that I’ve lost, I will get back.”

“Third grandpa…”

Ling Xian frowned a little, uncertain who that is exactly. However, he was certain that he is a powerful one. or else Gong Suo Xin wouldn’t be joking around with her life.

But he couldn’t stop worrying.

“How about this. I am going to instill some soul into you. If anything happens, you signal for me.”

Ling Xian paused and then pressed between Gong Suo Xin’s brows. He said in a low voice, “No matter how powerful the opponents are, as long as I am still breathing, I will be able to help you escape.”

“It is already enough to hear that from you.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled gently and her long index finger brushed against her brows as if feeling the left-over warmth left by Ling Xian.

“Go. If anything happens, signal for me.” Ling Xian’s expression was serious and his tone was strong.

“Don’t worry, with my third grandpa around, they wouldn’t dare do anything to me.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled lightly and then moved forward towards the Wang Clan’s home.

At this, Ling Xian exhaled deeply. He didn’t feel settled.

But he knew that he was an outsider. If he goes, the Wang Clan will use him as an excuse to give Gong Suo Xin a hard time.

“There is no need to worry, Sister Gong wouldn’t joke around with her life. She will be fine.” Huang Jiu Ge consoled.

“I believe so too.”

Ling Xian nodded then beamed, “Let’s start now. Use your blood to sense and see if you can find anything about the real phoenix.”

“I will do my best. However, I cannot promise anything.” Feng Jiu Ge said softly. Her expression was reluctant.

“It’s okay. Just do your best. Don’t stress.” Ling Xian smiled kindly.

“Yes, master.”

Feng Jiu Ge nodded gently and closed her eyes. She formed a hand seal with her hands.

At once, her real form appeared. She began to suspend in midair in a holy, graceful, and prestigious manner.

A milky white light exuded and then slowly engulfed the entire valley. It made the entire place feel like spring wind was cleansing it.

“A mysterious energy from the blood. I hope I can find traces of the real phoenix.”

Looking at the phoenix who was using her blood as a lure to find the pure-blooded phoenix, Ling Xian muttered to himself. His eyes were full of hope.

As long as he can find the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes, he will be able to successfully transform his Qi. Then, his cultivation will enhance greatly and he will possess the right to challenge all the top talents in the world!
