Ji Qingchen had the highest magical power among them. Now that they were all threatened by Chaos, why not take a desperate chance!
"Bei Xuan, protect everyone."
After saying that, he summoned his natal sword, "Changchuan", and charged forward to fight Chaos.
The barrier had just been blasted by Chaos and was starting to become unstable. The monsters outside could break in at any moment and tear them all to pieces.
Zhao Chen'an decided he couldn't just sit back and wait for death. Even though his divine power hadn't fully recovered, ordinary people had no way to fight against Chaos. So he decided to go out and kill these monsters!
He would kill one if one came, and two if a pair came. He wanted everyone to know that the reincarnation of the Phoenix was no coward!
With that thought in mind, two balls of red flames materialized in Zhao Chen'an's palms. He dashed out of the barrier at lightning speed and smashed a ball of flame onto a monster. These underground monsters couldn't withstand the pure and powerful divine power of the Phoenix, and their skin was burned.
The monster was surely unwilling and let out two howls into the sky. Immediately, a group of monsters attacked Zhao Chen'an!
"An'er, what are you doing?"
Seeing Zhao Chen'an going alone, Qin Beixuan immediately summoned Cangyan and flew out. He stood beside Zhao Chen'an.
Zhao Chen'an replied, "If I don't step forward now, won't others look down on me? Moreover, those who trample on our cultivation world shall perish!"
Qin Beixuan echoed, "Well said. Let's do it together!"
"Count me in too!" Yi Liang summoned his Suixing sword and fought side by side with Zhao Chen'an.
Now that the cultivation world was in trouble, it was the young generation who had to take on the heavy responsibility. Where could the older generation put their faces?
So the masters of various sects drew their swords and came to help.
Although Zhu Heyu had lost control of his body, he could still see the outside world. The sects were united in fighting against Chaos.
He began to doubt his own heart. Maybe he had been wrong from the start. He shouldn't have tried to kill Zhao Chen'an, shouldn't have allied with Chaos, and definitely shouldn't have wanted to become the Phoenix.
He was sorry for the true Phoenix blood that Qiu Chang had given him to help him transform. He had done so many bad deeds and was so evil that he probably deserved to go to hell without a chance of reincarnation...
Zhu Heyu clearly saw that his master was barely holding his own against Chaos. If this continued, Chaos would kill Ji Qingchen!
Zhu Heyu thought he couldn't sit back and watch. He decided to help Zhao Chen'an, even if it meant his death. At least he would have one good deed on the merit list of the Ghost King's Records.
Since this was his body after all, he forcibly squeezed out Chaos's soul and briefly regained control. After regaining consciousness, his first act was to knock out the Phoenix seals in Chaos's body.
Zhu Heyu threw the two Phoenix seals at Zhao Chen'an and shouted, "Zhao Chen'an! Catch!"
Zhao Chen'an instantly understood what Zhu Heyu meant. He used his lightness kung fu to leap up and reach for the seals. Chaos also realized that things were going in a bad direction.
"Little brat, how dare you betray me?" In a fit of anger, Chaos took over the main consciousness and forcefully pulled Zhu Heyu's soul out of his body, tearing it to pieces on the spot.
Chaos glared menacingly at Zhao Chen'an and reached out his hand to grab the Phoenix seals. "You're going to die today too!"
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a divine-level pressure swept across the sky and earth. Chaos was immediately intimidated by this pressure. The moment Zhao Chen'an touched the Phoenix seals and absorbed them, his divine power and memories began to return.
Now that the Phoenix seals had fully merged with his body, the divine-level pressure was also unleashed.
"Chaos, it's been a hundred years. How dare a wisp of your remnant soul act so arrogantly in front of me?" Zhao Chen'an mobilized his spiritual power. A real Phoenix red flame, like a huge fireball, crashed down on Chaos. "You once swore to serve the Phoenix faithfully when you were under my hands."
Zhao Chen'an paused for a moment and then sternly said, "Now who gave you the guts to deceive and rebel against your king!"
"Boom!!"
The fireball hit Chaos. A wisp of remnant soul was no match for the Phoenix and was directly burned to ashes by the red flame.
After dealing with Chaos, the monsters realized how powerful Zhao Chen'an was. They were so scared that they didn't dare to move and crawled on the ground in a submissive posture.
Zhao Chen'an let out a relieved smile. He was still hovering in the air. When he looked down, he saw Qin Beixuan standing there motionless, looking at him.
Zhao Chen'an slowly said, "After a hundred years, Heng Deng has waited for a long time."
Tears welled up in Qin Beixuan's eyes. Looking at Zhao Chen'an in the air with the aura of a king, he said hoarsely, "Father."
Zhao Chen'an nodded at Qin Beixuan. Then he released a burst of spiritual power into the air behind him and grabbed hard. Pieces of torn souls appeared.
This was Zhu Heyu's soul.
"He's not completely evil. I forgive you," Zhao Chen'an waved his hand, and Zhu Heyu's soul was restored. "Go. Don't do anything stupid after reincarnation."
Zhu Heyu's soul floated in the air, full of gratitude in his eyes. He bowed respectfully to Zhao Chen'an and then disappeared.
"The matter is settled. All sects, please return." Zhao Chen'an waved his sleeve and landed steadily beside Qin Beixuan. He whispered to Qin Beixuan, "Brother, did I act well?"
Qin Beixuan: "?!!"
Acting?!!
"Didn't you regain your memories?" Qin Beixuan asked hesitantly.
Zhao Chen'an whispered, "Well, it was an emergency. There are so many memories. It's not easy to digest them all. I just quickly glanced at a few important ones."
Qin Beixuan was speechless: "It was quite convincing."
After seeing off the other sects, Zhao Chen'an and Ji Qingchen returned to Ziwei Mountain together.
The first thing Zhao Chen'an did when he got back to Ziwei Mountain was to go to the Chinese parasol tree outside the confinement room. The tree that had bloomed for a thousand years was now withered and bare.
Zhao Chen'an injected the soul from the soul-attached doll into the tree. Then he generously dripped several drops of his true Phoenix blood on Hua Feijie. Moreover, he transferred some of his cultivation to him.
Zhao Chen'an stroked the tree and slowly said, "First of all, you saved my life. This is what you deserve. I don't have anything valuable except this Phoenix blood that can cure all diseases, increase cultivation, and revive the dead, as well as my cultivation."
"Maybe it can help you transform into a human earlier. Don't let me down, little one. If you don't practice hard, where will I sleep in the future? You're my favorite tree."
After transferring his cultivation, the Chinese parasol tree underwent a huge change. Tiny red buds gradually grew on its branches. This must be the effect of the true Phoenix blood.
Zhao Chen'an let out a relieved smile. Fortunately, this method worked.
Suddenly, a snow-white outer robe was draped over his shoulders. Without looking, Zhao Chen'an knew it was Qin Beixuan just by the smell.
"An'er, it's getting cold. Keep warm."
Zhao Chen'an turned around, squinted at Qin Beixuan, and then tiptoed to give him a light kiss on the lips. "Thank you, brother."
"Do you think you can run away after kissing me?"
Qin Beixuan didn't give Zhao Chen'an a chance to react. He pulled him back into his arms and deepened the kiss.
Now, the situation was settled. The world was at peace, and everyone was happy and healthy.
