Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 130 Trouble is Coming

Guan Xun was soaked in sweat from head to toe, even his hair was dripping with sweat.

Seeing its master's pained expression, Chi Rong tapped the ground repeatedly with its long tail, showing particular anxiety and worry.

Seeing that the little fish was also staring down, it felt a little better. Although it couldn't see any concern from the other fish, at least it wouldn't keep its eyes closed and act as if it were none of its business.

Guan Xun's internal condition became increasingly chaotic. The energy condensed from her essence and blood was exceptionally powerful, even the shimmering light formed by the fusion of her four attributes was slightly weakened by the heat.

The immortal flame protected the essence blood, with wisps of flame leaping toward the light, only to retreat when they touched its edge, probing from different angles in turn, and the intensity of the flame was different each time.

Knowing that dispersed energy cannot counteract the shimmering light, it also knew to condense it again...

Guan Xun sneered. The consciousness of this Undying Flame was extraordinary. In her opinion, when it transformed into a spirit beast, it might not necessarily lack intelligence.

After several attempts, the Undying Flame had burned away the shimmering light of the crystal glass, and despite Guan Xun's continuous supply of spiritual energy to replenish it, it was to no avail.

The other party has essence and blood as a reserve, which can continuously supply energy, while even if she has abundant spiritual power, she will still get tired at times.

This is not the way to go.

With a slight jolt of her mind, Guan Xun suddenly opened her eyes. She quickly scanned the area and her gaze fell on Chi Rong.

"Crimson Fire!"

He had already struggled to concentrate on confronting the Undying Flame, and now that he was distracted, the shimmering light within his body weakened even further.

The Undying Flame seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, burning the opposing crystal-colored spiritual energy until it crackled and popped.

Guan Xun's expression suddenly changed, his lips trembled slightly, and he unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood trickled down her lips to her chin, dripping onto her snow-white dress, and a sweet, metallic smell filled the air.

At this moment, Chi Rong could not care about anything else. The clusters of flames at the tip of its tail quickly emerged and were flung into its master's hand.

Guan Xun immediately gripped her hand tightly, and the crimson fire from his palm seeped into her body.

In an instant, the crystal-like spiritual energy surrounding her began to flicker with a dark red hue. Then, it suddenly surged, transforming into a crimson flame imbued with the colors of crystal, emanating an extremely oppressive aura...

Chi Rong's expression was solemn. Its crimson fire, like the Undying Fire, could burn spiritual power. It was born alongside its master, and although the master's spiritual power had a certain resistance to the crimson fire, it did not mean that it was unharmed.

Such a forced fusion with multiple spiritual energies would likely be too much for the body to handle, and could even damage the meridians.

Unexpectedly, the master had reached the point of needing to borrow the Crimson Fire; one can only imagine how bad his internal condition must be.

Unlike Chi Rong's worries, Xiao Yu hovered in the air, staring at the bloodstains that had congealed on the lips of the person below. Its pupils were pale and unwavering, as if it were lost in thought. Its eyelids were pulled down even further.

……

The shimmering light was burned away, and the Undying Flame immediately split into two. One cluster rushed towards the dantian, while the source, carrying essence and blood, rushed towards the heart.

At this moment——

A terrifyingly high temperature surged from the outside in, coursing through every corner of my body!

The raging crimson flames surged everywhere, sweeping through the internal organs, passing through the meridians, and engulfing the entire body.

For a moment, my body felt like it was in a furnace.

The path of the Undying Flame was completely blocked, and it was forced to stop in place. As the Crimson Flame continued to approach, it could only retreat inch by inch.

Once again merging with its origin, the Undying Flame surged forth, its momentum fierce and its power incomparably violent.

"Come, let's see if your Undying Flame is more powerful, or if my upgraded Crimson Flame is superior." Guan Xun's voice was ruthless and particularly cold.

This standoff has reduced to only two extremes.

The physical body changes hands, or the essence of blood and the origin of the immortal fire are devoured and refined!

……

-

"Tsk..."

"oops……"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth by the Heavenly Lake, sighing repeatedly, looking very distressed.

It has been nearly five days since Guan Xun began his cultivation at the pond. Those who managed to enter the inner village to cultivate have all already left.

Today is the last day of the limited-time offer, but there's still no sign of anything happening...

"Could something be wrong?" The old man frowned as he stared at the center of the Heavenly Pool. The water was calm but not clear, and he couldn't tell what was going on below.

The more he stared at it, the more panicked he became.

Although the deadline hasn't passed, how could such a young girl endure for so long?

Even someone as sturdy as him couldn't last this long...

After pondering for a long time, the old man finally gritted his teeth and decided to wait another day. He was afraid that going in rashly now would disturb her cultivation.

If there is still no movement by tomorrow, he will go down and take a look.

Just at this time.

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the air, and then the entire Burning Phoenix Manor began to shake violently.

The invisible energy barrier high in the sky was rapidly dissipating.

"What's going on?!" The sudden turn of events startled the old man, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The barrier of Burning Phoenix Manor was set up by him and the four guardians using five different attributes, just like the Five Elements Array, and none of them can be missing.

It's suddenly been broken?!

Where are the four guardian deities? Such a commotion, yet no one came to report it!

The old man frowned, glanced at Tianchi, and without thinking too much, turned around to go outside the inner village to investigate the situation.

Just as he moved, several menacing auras rushed toward him at high speed.

Some of them even possessed a stronger aura than him!

The old man's gaze was fixed on the majestic, undulating sky, his face extremely solemn.

He had no enemies, but the little girl cultivating by the pond had offended someone...

Recalling what the other party had said when they went down into the pool, he immediately knew who it was. The only one who would dare to make such a big fuss to break into the Burning Phoenix Manor and who had the ability to break the barrier was the Holy Light Palace!

Therefore, we must first stop them and prevent anyone from knowing that the little girl is cultivating under the pond.

Thinking this, the old man was about to set off.

Two figures in white were suddenly thrown heavily from the sky, crashing down the bluestone steps in front of them. The steps instantly exploded and broke apart.

The old man stared intently, and was instantly enraged.

Those bodies embedded in the bluestone blocks were none other than the two guardians!

Their skulls were dented, and one of them even had his arm broken off; the perpetrator was extremely ruthless.

shhhhhh!

As the guardian was smashed down, the aura from high above followed closely behind, sweeping in overwhelmingly.

Several tall figures swept down from above and landed one after another on the bluestone walkway in front. They were all dressed in gray-black robes, and on the long, rectangular plaques with beveled corners on their chests were engraved patterns of backlit figures holding golden light.

This symbol is known to all people in the Central Plains.

It was none other than the Temple of Holy Light.
