The Fox Comes from Outer World - C369
Following that, the originally deep blue Immortal Slaying Formation suddenly erupted into a dazzling ball of light that had never been there before. It was a ball of red light, as thick as blood, yet also as hot as fire. It exploded like an atomic bomb, its sharp light piercing through the clouds, and the light shining from all directions, instantly overshadowed the raging blue light within the formation!
The boundless earth was illuminated by the red light, and the explosion of the light was deafening.
For a moment, I, who was stunned inside the barrier, felt deaf and a little blind.
Blindness is because the red light is so bright that I am temporarily blind; deafness is because the sound is so loud that my ears are almost temporarily deaf.
I was astonished. Just what was that thing? How did it burst with such power? As for Qing Ling, would she be alright if she stayed in the array? Still alive?
This is a barrier created by Qing Ling, but it’s still here in the end, meaning that Qing Ling is not dead yet. But, where did that strange thing in the Immortal Execution Array come from? Could it be another ambush from the Immortal Execution Array?
Before I could think too much about it, the red light that shot to the sky exploded in the air. Amidst the flurry of flint and debris, I saw a huge bird rush out from the red light, spreading its wings in the sky. It was a magnificent bird, its body wreathed in blazing flames, its two wings spread out like the clouds. It dragged its long tail feathers, their feathers enveloped in golden light. Its breathtaking beauty could only be described as a miracle! Although I had never seen such a bird before, I knew almost immediately that it belonged to a phoenix! And it was a phoenix bathing in flames! Legend has it that every time a phoenix rebirth, it would be reborn from the blazing fire, and everything that I’m witnessing right now, is just that moment in legend?
But, where is my Qing Ling? Where’s Qing Ling?
I forced myself to look away from the phoenix, to look for Tsui Ling, but the formation was still full of fire, and I could see nothing. In the blink of an eye, the fire phoenix dropped down from the sky. It fell down, and indeed, it fell, as if the flap of its wings had exhausted all of its strength, but now, it retracted its wings and, like a kite with its string cut, plunged straight into the Immortal Execution Array!
God! Don’t hit my cyan feather!
I was shocked, I don’t know how I managed to break out of Qing Ling’s barrier! Then, I scrambled towards the Immortal Execution Array.
Although I ran very fast, I was still faster than the birds that were falling from the sky. So by the time I reached the center of the formation, the birds had already crashed into the center of the Immortal Execution spell formation with a loud bang. It was huge in size, causing the ground to shake. As for the previously arrogant and raging blue flames within the Immortal Execution Archipelago, it suddenly seemed as if someone had blown on it. With a “puchi”, it was extinguished like a candle flame.
By the time I reached the array, this Immortal Slaying Formation had been completely destroyed and the blue flames had disappeared. There were still a few small golden sparks left inside the array, which should have been the fire spark that the phoenix had left behind at Nirvana.
I stood in the middle of the formation and looked around, but I didn’t see Qing Ling. In the center of the formation, there was only a huge white bird lying on the ground. It seemed to be seriously injured, and there were a few sparks on its body.
I rushed forward and helped him put out the fire. The bird moved slightly, as if it were breathing.
I suddenly felt that the situation was a little familiar. The birds that fell from the sky, the phoenixes that were bathed in fire, the strange, dying creatures that fell to the ground. Didn’t I meet him when I first came to White World?
Wasn’t the bird the embodiment of the Green Feathers of the White World?
Turning the bird over in front of my eyes, I discovered that apart from its snow-white feathers, the bird’s beautiful eyes, curved beak, and sharp claws were almost exactly the same as those of the bald birds in the white world!
Could this be Qing Ling’s real body? His real body was actually a white phoenix?
I was shocked.
The book said that the phoenix had a pure and noble personality. It didn’t drink unless it was morning dew, didn’t eat when it wasn’t young bamboo, and didn’t rest when it wasn’t a thousand year old parasol tree.
The book also said that every time a phoenix died, it could be reborn in flames.
In the mortal world, the phoenix was the symbol of peace; in the Heaven Realm, the phoenix was also the divine bird of auspicious sign. However, after living in the Heaven Realm for so long, I have never seen a phoenix. In the past, the leader of the Bird Clan was a phoenix, so there was a saying, “A hundred birds rise to the phoenix”. But later on, because of certain reasons, the phoenix became extinct, and the leader of the Bird Clan returned to the White Crow, which was why the White Crow replaced the phoenix and became the ruler of the Bird Clan.
Right now, the gigantic and beautiful white bird in front of me, no matter how I look at it, looks just like a phoenix.
I lay down beside the big bird and nudged its head with my nose. The phoenix moved slightly, but it didn’t open its eyes.
His injuries were too severe. It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to wake up in a short period of time. I have to move him to a safe place.
But how can I move him when he’s so big?
Just as he was thinking about whether he should turn back into a human and go down the mountain to find a few helpers, he was also afraid that it would be dangerous to leave him here by himself. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard whispers coming from outside the forest.
Someone was hiding behind the dense bushes, carefully spying, “What kind of bird is that? Could it be a Phoenix? ”
Someone else said, “It must be a phoenix. I’ve seen a picture of it in a book before – it’s exactly the same as the bird in front of me!”
There were also others who trembled as they said, “Everyone said, ‘The phoenix descended, the world is at peace’, but now we have actually injured the phoenix. Will we receive retribution?”
The fox’s ears were very sharp, and I could clearly hear the conversations of these mortals as I lay low on the Phoenix’s side. Among them, there was the Xiao family’s second young mistress. There were also some male voices. They were probably the guards of their family. Those people obviously didn’t notice me. Maybe it’s because I’m the fox, and I’m not very big, and I’m hiding by Phoenix’s side. The phoenix is a white phoenix, and its feathers are extremely white.
After discussing for a short while, the Second Young Miss of the Xiao family decided to take a closer look at Phoenix.
When I heard this, I quietly lay motionless under the phoenix’s wings.
If it were just a group of mortals, it would have been easy for me to deal with them alone. But from the situation earlier, the young mistress of the Xiao family definitely had an extremely powerful expert secretly guiding her.
I decided to stay put and do what I wanted.
When the group of people approached, I realized that they were only ordinary mortals. Second Miss Xiao took the lead as everyone stopped in front of Phoenix. Their faces revealed expressions of reverence.
Second Young Miss Xiao’s expression was very ugly. “Could it be that the phoenix really descended …?”
Xiao San Shi said with a sullen face: “Elder sister, we killed Phoenix, we’ve caused trouble! “Our family will definitely suffer …”
When the servants heard what the Third Miss Xiao said, their faces turned pale as if they had lost their parents.
