Chapter 125: A Capital Offense

The moment Yaohua leaped into the golden light, she heard the system's voice.

"Beep—Congratulations, Host, for obtaining sorghum and sesame. Crops available for planting: sorghum and sesame. Quantity: ten mu."

"System Brother is being so generous this time!"

Yaohua was so shocked that she almost lost her balance.

"Because the Host's cultivation has increased significantly, and you've also harvested quite a bit of demonic qi recently."

I see. It must be from the previous accumulation!

Sure enough, System Brother is still as stingy as ever.

However, based on her previous experience, usually the system would only reward the crops that the Host encountered. She didn't seem to have seen sorghum or sesame in the Upper God's Tomb. Why would the system reward her with these?

"If you don't want them, the system can take back the rewards."

Only then did Yaohua realize that she had spoken her thoughts out loud.

"No, no. I didn't mean that at all." Yaohua flattered with a smile. "Please trouble System Brother to plant them for me."

The system snorted. "One glass bottle of demonic qi."

"All I'm asking for is to plant some crops. There was no charge before. Why do you want it now?" Yaohua was greatly surprised.

The demonic qi she collected on Huikun Mountain last time was only a few glass bottles. The system was asking for one glass bottle just like that!

"I didn't even take your forty percent of the demonic qi. It's just one glass bottle. What's there to be reluctant about!"

So it's because the system regretted it.

"Then I'll plant them myself!"

It wouldn't take long to plant some crops anyway. Yaohua was quite curious about what the system wanted so much demonic qi for.

This time, the system fell silent.

Yaohua retrieved the key in the air and stroked the immortal dendrobium grass in the space, feeling somewhat reassured.

Just as she transformed into her phoenix form and was about to fly towards Wangfu Mountain, a huge golden net suddenly appeared above her head and trapped her!

Yaohua had no choice but to land back at the original spot and transform back into her human form.

It was night at this time. Only to see a large number of heavenly soldiers suddenly appear in the dark sky. They held weapons that glinted with cold light and stared at Yaohua menacingly.

And that golden net just now was obviously the net they had set up.

Her previously somewhat excited heart sank immediately.

Yaohua's lips were almost pursed into a straight line.

With such a big commotion, it was probably because her secret had been exposed.

As soon as this thought rose in her heart, she saw the heavenly soldiers part in the middle. A familiar figure walked towards her gracefully. Those snake-like, gloomy eyes stared intently at her, with a hint of excitement hidden in them.

"Long time no see, Princess Yaohua."

Yaohua's gaze was like a torch. "If you're just here to catch up, then forget it. Master is waiting for me to save him. Please get out of my way quickly!"

"Without the order of the God Lord, you trespassed into the Heavenly Realm and stole the key to the Upper God's Tomb. You deserve to be executed!"

These words were spat out like a machine gun. Yaohua was even a bit worried that she might choke to death if she couldn't catch her breath.

"What's there to catch up with a dead person?" Cang Shan snorted proudly, not hiding the malice in her eyes at all.

"Okay, I got it. Now please get out of my way!"

Everything she said today was the truth, and Yaohua didn't argue. She just wanted to leave here quickly and give the immortal dendrobium grass to her master first.

"In that case, why don't you quickly submit to execution!"

Cang Shan pointed her finger, and all the heavenly soldiers pointed their weapons at Yaohua.

Since she was already guilty of a capital offense, it didn't matter if she added one more crime.

Thinking like this, Yaohua raised her hand. The phoenix true fire in her palm crackled.

These heavenly soldiers were not to be feared, but Cang Shan was quite a tough opponent.

Yaohua didn't know why she would appear here so coincidentally. But since she was going to block her way today, there was no need to show mercy.

The phoenix true fire, together with her spiritual power, stirred up a fierce hurricane.

The phoenix phantom circled around the hurricane, carrying great pressure, and roared towards Cang Shan.

At the same time, Yaohua lightly tapped her toes and disappeared quickly into the hurricane like a swimming fish.

Let her phoenix true fire slowly deal with Cang Shan.

In the past, Cang Shan used her spiritual power to oppress Yaohua, ruin her appearance, slander her reputation, and prevent her from freely entering and leaving the Heavenly Realm. Now that her cultivation had improved, she no longer had to rely on magic tools to fight Cang Shan. It was time to settle all the old and new grudges!

Under the cover of the phoenix phantom, Yaohua quietly slipped out of the encirclement of the heavenly soldiers.

Just as she was about to leave, a spiritual current suddenly fell from the sky and struck her chest violently.

The spiritual current contained supreme laws and golden runes.

Seven years ago, Yaohua had also faced a similar situation. So when this spiritual current appeared, she immediately reacted. After being struck, her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Please forgive me, God Lord. Can I see my master one last time before I die?"

The sacred and solemn figure of the God Lord appeared in front of her.

The only difference from Cang Shan was that this was just a clone of the God Lord.

But even so, it was enough to suppress Yaohua.

The God Lord sneered. "You stole the key to the Upper God's Tomb, and you still dare to make requests to me?"

His voice was like the bell from ancient times. Every word struck Yaohua's heart. She felt dizzy and almost spat out blood.

"I..."

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she couldn't make a sound.

The God Lord's cold gaze was fixed on her.

"I originally thought that since you were a disciple of God of the Bright Dawn, I would spare your life. But now it seems that it would be a hidden danger."

Saying that, he stretched out his five fingers, as if he wanted to execute Yaohua on the spot.

Yaohua felt infinitely bitter in her heart. She forced herself to speak and break through the God Lord's restriction. Every word was full of blood and tears. "God Lord, my master is in urgent need of the immortal dendrobium grass to save his life. Please show mercy and let me give the grass to my master first. Then I'll come back to receive my punishment!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her clothes were already covered in blood.

"I've already told you to think twice before you act!"

The system scolded in her mind as if she really had no chance of survival.

Yaohua smiled bitterly.

That was her master.

A master who had been so kind to her, who had been seriously injured in order to save her and had been in seclusion on Wangfu Mountain. How could she bear to let her master suffer day after day?

"How dare you! In front of the God Lord, how can you be so presumptuous!"

A sharp female voice suddenly rang out.

Yaohua was stunned. She looked up and saw the God's envoy Tu Yang with a koto on her arm. She landed gracefully in the air and also in front of the God Lord's clone.

"Your servant pays respects to the God Lord."

The God Lord's expression remained unchanged. "Tu Yang, instead of reflecting on your mistakes in the divine temple, what are you doing here?"

"Your servant has something to report. I hope the Lord will spare a moment to talk."

"I'm busy now. You can say whatever you want later." The God Lord's voice gradually turned cold. "Or do you want to stop me?"

"Your servant wouldn't dare!" Tu Yang bent her knees and knelt on the ground. "Your servant just hopes that the God Lord will think twice. In the past, the ancestor of the phoenix clan quelled the demon rebellion. It can be seen that only the phoenix clan can deal with the demons. Yaohua is the only princess of the phoenix clan. If the God Lord executes her now, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the phoenix clan and hinder the God Lord's grand plan!"
