These words.
Carried a profound meaning.
Unease welled up in Mo Yan's heart.
His eyes narrowed slightly,
Looking long and full of a probing air.
"What do you mean?"
"Lord Mo Yan, I've been with you day and night for over a decade. I grew up under your care, from a baby in swaddling clothes to being honored as the Holy Maiden of your Loulan. Do you really not recognize me?"
At this moment,
It was Mo Yan's turn to take a step back.
He stumbled on his feet,
Nearly falling.
Seeing his usually calm and self - composed father looking so panicked,
Mo Bai quickly stepped closer.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
"How could it be? How could it be?"
Mo Yan repeated these three words twice.
"You're lying to me. You must be lying to me! Right, did that woman Luo Qiu tell you this? It must be so."
The phoenix behind Zhao Shuning was also gathering the spiritual energy in its body.
It knew that
Its master was stalling for time.
When the best moment came,
When she had adjusted her aura to its peak, there would surely be a fierce battle.
And it had promised that
This time,
It would fight side by side with its master, regardless of life or death.
"You're just stalling for time!"
Zhao Shuning smiled.
Yes,
She was stalling for time.
Otherwise,
She wouldn't even bother to use Luo Feiyan's identity to face Mo Yan.
Seeing Zhao Shuning's reaction,
Mo Yan knew he had guessed right.
His trembling hands finally steadied a bit.
Zhao Shuning tilted her head slightly and said, "Lord Mo Yan, you've been smart for hundreds of years. Don't act foolish now."
"You—"
"If I weren't Luo Feiyan, how could Xiao Qiu obey me?"
"Moreover, if I weren't Luo Feiyan, how could I have recognized you at first sight a few days ago?"
"If only I weren't her. Then I wouldn't have to face your hypocritical face."
I don't want to be her.
But I am.
"You're not Yan'er. Yan'er, Yan'er is already dead."
"Yes, she is dead. And it was all because of you, wasn't it?"
If it weren't for Bu Ran's deep love and using the natal lotus as a life - saving chip to protect her spiritual power,
Then,
Not to mention five hundred years later.
Even after another five hundred years, she would probably just be a spirit without emotion floating in chaos.
"You—"
Mo Bai watched this scene,
Staring blankly and saying, "Father, it's not her, right? It's not her?"
The "her" here
Referred to the woman who had always been in Mo Yan's heart.
That woman surely wasn't Ningning.
He and his father
Couldn't fall in love with the same woman.
It was impossible.
Mo Yan's eyes were now bloodshot.
He couldn't believe it either.
He had imagined countless times the scene of seeing Yan'er again, but he never thought she would appear before him in this way.
And that she would be the woman his son Mo Bai liked.
Mo Yan felt a rush of blood in his veins.
His chest ached.
If she was really Yan'er,
Then,
How could they face each other in the future?
"Yan'er—how could you be her?"
"Lord Mo Yan, you father and son are really scheming."
The moon
Reached the center of the starry sky.
Zhao Shuning's aura
Suddenly,
Soared.
"Ningning, don't do it."
"Yan'er, stop!"
The two men exclaimed simultaneously.
But Zhao Shuning's figure shot up into the air of the palace.
Countless night pearls in her Qiankun bag flew out and hung inside the great hall.
For a moment,
The inside of the great hall
Was as bright as day.
Zhao Shuning's body began to change slowly.
Mo Yan and Mo Bai glanced at each other.
Then they flew forward together.
However, Zhao Shuning's power was extremely powerful. Moreover, this time, she had mobilized all the power of the red lotus in her body.
So,
Even though Mo Bai and Mo Yan were top - level powerhouses,
They couldn't get close to her for a while.
The flames gradually grew stronger.
Mo Yan said coldly, "Form the formation."
"Yes!"
Hundreds of alchemists
Formed a five - element formation and an eight - phase mental method.
They poured all their cultivation into the great formation in the middle.
But,
It was different from before.
This time,
They were trying to stop Zhao Shuning from activating the great formation.
The spiritual souls they held weren't at the top level. If they activated the great formation rashly at this moment, they might end up in a situation where both the jade and the stone were burned.
And Zhao Shuning's actions at this moment clearly showed that
She wanted to sacrifice her own flesh and blood.
To release the huge spiritual soul in the scimitar in advance.
Combined with her own power, she would stimulate the power of the thousand - year stone soul.
The spiritual souls were already unstable now.
And there weren't enough of them.
If they tried to activate the thousand - year stone soul at this moment,
The probability of success
Was basically zero.
"Ningning! What are you doing!"
"Yan'er, stop. We can still talk, still talk!"
"Ningning!"
"Yan'er, if you activate the formation now, the resentment of the spiritual souls is extremely strong. Once released, it will surely endanger the Kyushu Continent. The power in the stone soul will also level the Eastern Continent to the ground. Is this what you want to see?"
"Ningning, stop being willful."
Zhao Shuning smiled faintly,
Full of desolation.
She looked at the phoenix.
The phoenix understood its master's intention.
It said straightforwardly, "No matter what decision you make, this phoenix will support you. Dying with you isn't such a shameful thing."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"It's enough to have you, this stinky bird, accompany me."
"This phoenix will pave the way for you."
The phoenix's cry
Pierced through the sky.
The sound waves it created
Spread out in circles.
The alchemists and spiritual herb masters at the front were knocked back violently.
They fell to the ground in a sorry state,
Spitting out fresh blood.
After all, it was an ancient divine beast, the king of all birds.
If it let out a cry,
Few people in the world could withstand it.
Outside the Eastern Continent's royal palace,
At this moment,
Birds were flying everywhere.
Leaves rustled.
The animals in the mountains
Were restless.
All the flying birds in the sky were gathering towards the Eastern Continent's royal palace.
Even the talking beast far away in the Eastern Marsh Wilderness was affected.
It was restless and flapped its wings towards the Eastern Continent.
On the entire Kyushu Continent,
Those spiritual beasts and demon beasts with great spiritual energy seemed to be summoned by the phoenix.
In the room where Feng Zhan was,
At this moment,
It started to shake.
"Bu Ran—"
"What's going on?"
Around Yan Ruyu,
There were many people he had found in these days who corresponded to the constellations.
Seeing this phenomenon,
Yan Ruyu lowered his head and pondered, "It's the phoenix."
He quickly took out a jade flute with both hands.
A flute melody that shook the mountains and rivers drifted out.
As the flute melody fluttered,
Right in front of him,
A very wide space gate suddenly appeared.
"Emperor Venerable, where are you going?"
"The phoenix is summoning all the beasts. This means Ning'er is in danger. I'm going to help her."
"But—"
Yan Ruyu had already stepped onto the space gate.
Seeing this, the people behind him
Didn't hesitate at all.
They all followed behind and entered the space gate with Yan Ruyu.
Zhao Shuning, also known as Ye Ling. No matter which name it was, it was worth them making any sacrifice.
