Heaven-defying Phoenix - C104

Meng Rou Er was really afraid, before the man at her side even made a move, she was already severely injured. If she did not leave now, she would really not be able to escape.

“Quick, flee.”

“Go, quickly go.”

The male cultivators saw that Meng Rou Er had escaped and did not have the courage to continue fighting, hence they did not dare to be arrogant and started to escape.

“It’s too late to leave now!”

Suddenly, a cold voice came out, it belonged to Qin Zheng, and when everyone was taunting him, he had already wanted to attack, but Jiu Mu Li had spoken first, so he held it in.

Those women who dared to bully him and those disgusted gazes all deserved to die!

Qin Zheng’s killing intent was no longer hidden and there was no suspense for Jiu Mu Li’s victory. He was also too lazy to continue delaying. With a shake of his sleeve, a bone-chilling cold turned into a white mist, completely shrouding the surrounding dozens of meters.

Silence!

In an instant, the entire hall became extremely quiet.

Those male cultivators were frozen into ice sculptures at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even their frightened faces and fleeing movements were clearly discernible, as if they had suddenly pressed a pause button.

Immediately after, Qin Zheng smacked the ice sculpture with one hand. With a whoosh, the ice sculpture broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

“You killed them all?”

Jiu Mu Li frowned and asked, she really did not expect Qin Zheng to kill her so easily, although she had heavily injured this group of people, she had never thought of killing them, hence she was decisive and decisive.

“What’s the use of keeping it.”

Jiu Mu Li opened his mouth, but in the end he helplessly said: “We still need to go to First Island, and we need them to lead the way there.

Furthermore, it was a hatred filled death. Even Jiu Mu Li was horrified by it.

“There’s one more left.”

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he no longer spoke and brought Jiu Mu Li along, in an instant catching up to Meng Rou Er who was running for his life.

“This guy.”

Jiu Mu Li was speechless, she felt that if she did not need Meng Rou Er to lead the way, Meng Rou Er would probably be killed too.

Meng Rou Er’s heart was currently filled with fear and hatred, especially when he noticed that the cultivators who had followed him here had long since disappeared without a trace, causing him to feel even more terrified.

“Dammit. They’re actually this strong?! How preposterous is this?! I will definitely not let you all get away with this!”

As Meng Rou Er spoke, his speed unconsciously increased, she was afraid that the two of them would catch up to her.

However, what she didn’t know was that not far behind her, Qin Zheng was using her as a beacon to point the way with Jiu Mu Li.

The First Island was the largest island within the Sea of Nine Serenities, and it was also the island with the most resources. It was most suitable for cultivators to cultivate.

The two cultivators guarding the door wore the attire of island masters as they lazily guarded. However, they suddenly saw a familiar figure fleeing from afar in a sorry state.

“Ss, it’s the eldest miss.”

“Miss Meng, welcome.”

In that moment, the guards at the city gate were all startled, looking at Meng Rou Er who had a face full of scars, whose entire body was dispirited.

If not for being familiar with Meng Rou Er, they would have almost not recognized him.

Meng Rou Er did not bother to explain at all, she coldly spoke, then instantly disappeared into the distance as she headed straight for the Island Master’s residence. Faintly, everyone heard her sorrowful cry out, “Grandfather, save me!”

When Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng arrived at the First Island, they instantly discovered the martial law at the city gate. But to Qin Zheng, all of this was just an illusion.

“High-level cultivators are just different.”

Jiu Mu Li sighed in his heart, if it were her alone, she would not have had the chance to barge in.

However, it was clear that Qin Zheng had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. After entering the city, he directly walked towards the Island Master’s Mansion.

However, the two of them didn’t go far before several rays of majestic auras suddenly approached from the distance.

“Junior, you have quite the nerves. You actually dared to injure my granddaughter.”

An elderly voice resounded in Jiu Mu Li’s ears like a clap of thunder. Right after the voice fell, a few human figures appeared in front of Jiu Mu Li.

These were all cultivators with shocking cultivation bases. Even Jiu Mu Li was unable to see their depths, especially the old man in the lead.

“First Island Owner!”

Jiu Mu Li squinted, and carefully sized up the old man in front of him, his tone sounding a little serious.

“That’s right, two juniors, seems like they are not my Sea of Nine Serenities’s cultivators. May I know who my master is?”

He was an old man, and in a single exchange, he could tell that these two were not Sea of Nine Serenities cultivators, but what made his heart tremble even more was the young man. He did not look old, but his cultivation could not be seen through, and just by standing there, without any presence, it was as if he was completely connected to heaven and earth.

“Rogue cultivator Jiu Mu Li, this is my companion, Qin Zheng.”

Seeing that the island master was not stupid, Jiu Mu Li did not plan to go against him, and his tone was serious.

Jiu Mu Li sighed inwardly. He knew that if he did not have an extraordinary background, the other party would probably not be so courteous to him in the future.

However, she had already discussed this with Qin Zheng before this. She wanted to train herself, so unless she was trapped in an extremely dangerous situation, she hoped that Qin Zheng would not intervene.

Not to mention that she also needed to fight in order to train herself. She didn’t have enough combat experience, so in this cruel world, she would be the one to die.

“Hmph, level one rogue cultivators, you dare to be so impudent in my First Island, you sure are brave.”

Sure enough, First Island Owner’s face instantly darkened, his face was full of killing intent, and the few cultivators behind him were all eager to give it a try.

“Island Lord, please wait and get angry.”

Jiu Mu Li squinted his eyes, and said smiling: “Island Lord, I think it is not appropriate for you to take action now, and I do not have any ill intentions, it was your granddaughter’s hard work to force us, furthermore, we have already shown mercy, so why are you angry, Island Lord?”

In the time it took for her to say that, she had already instantly determined that the other party’s profound veins had been severely injured, and now, her entire body was like a ball that had a hole punched in it, as she gasped for air. Although he had already done his best to conceal it, how could he hide it from Jiu Mu Li’s eyes?

After all, this world had never had such a medicine before, not to mention that she had already researched and researched profound veins before.

“Grandfather, why are you wasting your breath on her? Quickly kill them.”

Meng Rou Er, who was following closely behind, had a face full of hatred as he stood behind the First Island Owner and kept urging the others on.

First Island Owner’s face instantly changed, his gaze became as sharp as a blade, and an immense pressure immediately started to spread, completely ignoring Meng Rou Er, and said coldly: “Junior, what did you say!”

This was his secret, and he had never revealed it to anyone. After all, if people were to find out, not only would his position in First Island Owner be lost, even his life would be lost.

This kind of secret even his most beloved granddaughter was something that he had never revealed. He never would have thought that Jiu Mu Li would instantly reveal it to him today, how could this not alert him in his heart?

“No need to doubt. I merely felt that the island master wasn’t feeling well, but this isn’t the place to speak. I wonder if you are willing to change locations?”

Jiu Mu Li did not reveal the slightest bit of fear. Although the pressure from the First Island Owner made her feel as if she was carrying a mountain that was thirty thousand meters tall, she still did not cower.

“Forget it.”

First Island Owner thought for a bit, then looked at Qin Zheng. In the end, he had no choice but to agree.

As he said that, he swung his sleeve, wrapping Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng up as he rushed towards the Island Master’s cave.

Jiu Mu Li did not resist, nor did Qin Zheng express anything. From the beginning to the end, he was like a spectator, and in the eyes of the Island Master and the others, he was like Jiu Mu Li’s bodyguard.

The First Island Owner’s cave was set up in the center of the island, it was an extremely luxurious castle. When they arrived at the main hall, the First Island Owner dispersed the crowd and asked Jiu Mu Li: “Junior, what did you mean just now?”

“Grandfather, what are you doing?”

Meng Rou Er was completely stunned. She had thought that her grandfather, who loved her, would immediately kill Jiu Mu Li. She did not expect that in the end, he would actually invite her into the Palace.

From what I see, the Island Master’s profound veins have been severely injured, either from the backlash of cultivation or from someone else’s injuries. Right now, his entire body is like a sieve, although you have tried your best to conceal it, your cultivation is still gradually getting unstable.

Jiu Mu Li similarly did not bother with Meng Rou Er as he spoke frankly.

“Shut up, how could anything happen to my grandpa, you liar.”

Meng Rou Er was furious when he heard this, and said to the First Island Owner: “Grandfather, this slut is obviously not kind. There’s no need to waste words with them, just kill him.”

“You shut up.”

First Island Owner swept a glance at Meng Rou Er, and then said to Jiu Mu Li: “How can Miss determine?”

Even though he did not admit it at this point, anyone who knew the meaning behind his words would be able to understand it.

Jiu Mu Li laughed: “To be honest, Island Lord, I am only studying a bit of medicine, not just that, the Island Lord’s injuries are very obvious, all of the Spirit Qi in my body is leaking, I believe anyone who is looking would be able to detect it.”

Jiu Mu Li said, his voice changed: “Of course, if I am really blind, I can just follow the Island Master’s orders, after all, the First Island has been run by the Island Master for a long time, so no matter how strong I am, it would be difficult for me to get in.”

The First Island Owner caught onto the hidden meaning in Jiu Mu Li’s words and looked deeply at Qin Zheng who had never spoken, and became silent for a moment.

“Grandfather, you wouldn’t really believe her words, right? There are two people with unknown identities and origins. Grandfather, there’s no need to waste words with them.” Meng Rou Er’s face darkened to the extreme, and said fiercely: “Don’t forget, when they tried to kill me, they did not care about Grandfather’s reputation.”

“Do you think you can escape if I kill you?” Jiu Mu Li sneered.
