"Eldest brothers, are you all right?"
Yaohua and her entourage quickly rushed to their side. Seeing the pale faces of her elder brothers, her heart couldn't help but sink.
Suppressing Jiang Mo was no easy feat. They must have exhausted a great deal of their cultivation.
"It's okay. Don't worry," the elder brothers waved their hands and resumed their previous jovial expressions. "Now that Jiang Mo has been sealed, everything should be over, right?"
Currently, their greatest enemy was Jiang Mo. With him sealed...
"No," Chongming suddenly spoke up, his voice solemn. "The little phoenix and the Primordial Pearl are still missing."
Everyone gasped in shock. The previously relaxed atmosphere was instantly overshadowed by a sense of unease.
That's right. The little phoenix had absorbed Yaohua's lifespan, and the whereabouts of the Primordial Pearl remained unknown. Both were closely related to Yaohua.
"Don't worry. Everything will turn out fine," the elder brothers reassured them once again. Their cheerful voices made everyone couldn't help but smile. Even Yaohua and Xu Ruanruan felt a bit more at ease.
"Yes. Don't worry. I'll be okay," Yaohua said to Chongming. She didn't like being a burden to him.
Although her current condition wasn't ideal, she wasn't as fragile as a porcelain doll.
Chongming nodded and walked over to Yaohua, putting his arm around her waist in a protective gesture.
The group returned to the Danxue Mountain.
However, before they could return to their respective residences, Lu Ran sent a message saying that the God-Slaying Platform couldn't be opened, and the subsequent matters couldn't proceed.
Therefore, Chongming needed to leave for a while.
Before leaving, he repeatedly cautioned Yaohua, "You must protect yourself and wait for me to come back."
He was afraid that something might happen to Yaohua during his absence.
"Don't worry. I'm not that easy to be in trouble," Yaohua comforted him. "This is the Danxue Mountain after all."
After Chongming left, the elder brothers also dispersed one by one. Their cultivation had been severely depleted due to the sealing of Jiang Mo, and they needed to rest.
Yaohua also intended to go back and take a rest.
But at this moment, Zhao Wu brought Ying Han's soul.
"Previously, you promised to send Ying Han's soul into reincarnation," Zhao Wu said.
Yaohua nodded and didn't refuse.
This was the agreement they had made before. Now that Jiang Mo had been sealed, it was time for her to fulfill her promise.
Taking the soul, Yaohua activated her magical power. The soul gradually dissipated in her hands.
The process didn't take long. When the last wisp of the soul disappeared, Yaohua opened her eyes and said, "It's done."
Ying Han had successfully entered reincarnation. I wonder how Jiang Mo would react if he knew about this.
"Thank you..."
Zhao Wu lowered his head, and his expression was unclear.
After completing this task, he was about to leave. However...
"Ouch!"
Yaohua suddenly felt a sense of weakness in her body, as if something was being gradually drained from her.
This feeling was very familiar... It was the feeling of having her lifespan being sucked away!
Realizing this, Yaohua suddenly reacted and looked around. To her surprise, it was the little phoenix. She had appeared with the Primordial Pearl!
"Mother, I'm sorry. I must obtain your Nirvana Fire," the little phoenix said.
What? Yaohua didn't understand the meaning of this sentence yet.
What use did her Nirvana Fire have for the little phoenix?
"Get out of the way!"
Zhao Wu stepped in front of her. "Your magical power is already very weak now. In front of her, your magical power will only be sucked away by her."
"Why does she want to take my Nirvana Fire?"
Yaohua didn't move away.
She had to figure out everything.
The little phoenix needed to absorb her magical power to regain her original form. Then, what was the reason for absorbing the Nirvana Fire?
"Don't you understand? Only with your Nirvana Fire can she achieve immortality!"
Zhao Wu didn't say any more and directly rushed forward to fight with the little phoenix.
The little phoenix, who had absorbed Yaohua's magical power, was much stronger than before. However, she was still inexperienced. Compared with Zhao Wu, she was far inferior and was quickly suppressed.
"Let go of me!"
The little phoenix didn't expect Zhao Wu to appear here. Everything had been going smoothly according to the plan, but now...
"Hand over the Primordial Pearl!"
Zhao Wu searched her body for a long time but couldn't find the small bead. Finally, he had no choice but to interrogate her. "Tell me! Where is the Primordial Pearl?!"
"You'll never find it!"
The childish voice was filled with a sense of eeriness. Zhao Wu had a bad feeling.
The next second, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, the little phoenix actually took out the Primordial Pearl and swallowed it!
Zhao Wu: "!!!"
Yaohua: "!!!"
Neither of them expected her to do such a thing.
In an instant, the little phoenix's body emitted a red flame, which became more and more intense.
"Little phoenix, you..."
No one knew what the consequences of swallowing the Primordial Pearl would be. They had never witnessed it personally.
The person who swallowed it might greatly increase their cultivation, or they might die suddenly.
Judging from the little phoenix's appearance, there was a tendency for her cultivation to increase greatly.
"Something's wrong," at this moment, a voice that didn't belong to Yaohua appeared in her mind. It took her a while to realize that this voice was... the system!
"What?"
The system had been on bad terms with her for some time. Now it suddenly spoke up. What did it want to do?
"She is still inexperienced. If this continues, she will easily go crazy. By then, the situation won't be under your control," the system said.
For a moment, Yaohua didn't know what the system was up to. Since it had already fallen out with her, could it be plotting something?
However, what it said seemed to be true.
If the little phoenix went crazy because of this, the entire Danxue Mountain would suffer.
"So what do you want me to do?" Yaohua said indifferently. Seeing that Zhao Wu had also turned around, it was obvious that he had also heard the system's words.
"Kill her," the system's voice was very cold, as if the person it had fallen out with was the little phoenix.
Before this, it had always remained silent. Now it suddenly asked her to kill the little phoenix. Yaohua couldn't help but think more about the reason. Was it really just because it was afraid that the little phoenix would go crazy?
"Anyway, I've told you everything. Whether you do it or not is up to you," the system snorted. "Now I'm tied to your fate. If you don't kill her, don't die and drag me down with you."
But the little phoenix wasn't someone Yaohua could kill easily.
Killing one's own kind would invite divine retribution, even though the little phoenix wasn't a real phoenix.
"I'll do it," Zhao Wu volunteered. "It's enough for me to kill this little phoenix alone."
Yaohua hesitated for a moment and then nodded stiffly.
But she always felt that things weren't that simple.
"Be careful. Now that she has swallowed the Primordial Pearl, her magical power is much stronger than before," at this moment, the system spoke up again to remind her. "No, now only you can kill the little phoenix personally."
What?
Yaohua's expression became much more serious.
The system said, "She has swallowed the Primordial Pearl, and her power is expanding. Ordinary attacks won't work on her. Only you, the Goddess of the Phoenix, can end this personally."
