Chapter 527 - 187: You Are My Destined One
"Hey, don’t come over here! I’m fierce!"
Liu Su stood in front of Qin Gengyun, glaring fiercely at the approaching Celestial Phoenix Maiden like a little tiger, and incidentally swatting away the hands of a few lovesick female disciples beside him.
"Oh, seriously, when will you stop touching!"
Mo Xiaolan clenched her hands tightly, secretly accelerating the circulation of her spiritual power, but the Locking Essence Pill and the poison from the black mist still lingered within her body, making it impossible for her to recover her cultivation.
She could only watch helplessly as the Celestial Phoenix Maiden waved her hand, sending her, Liu Su, and several lovesick female disciples flying.
Then the Celestial Phoenix Maiden walked up to Qin Gengyun, bent down, her nose twitching, an incredibly joyful expression appearing on her face:
"Just with a whiff, my Celestial Phoenix Technique began to operate automatically; you are the destined one from the prophecy!"
"Hey! You canary, my brother has a wife, when my sister-in-law returns she’ll slap you to death!"
Liu Su scrambled to his feet and shouted. At that moment, countless members of the Phoenix Race descended from the sky, lifting all the male disciples into the air.
Even Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, Chen Yunfeng, and other commanding disciples, due to the poison of the Locking Essence Pill, were temporarily unable to act and could only surrender.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, meanwhile, smiled and reached out her hand to Qin Gengyun, whose eyes suddenly snapped open as he thrust the Heaven-Reaching Awl at her chest!
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden raised her palm in front of her chest, a ball of golden light appearing in her fair hand, effortlessly deflecting the Heaven-Reaching Awl.
She grew even more delighted: "Indeed a Body Cultivator, just as described in the Divine Scripture!"
Qin Gengyun suddenly leapt to his feet, charging at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, his footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Though his cultivation was sealed, his exceptionally strong physique allowed him to exert combat power on par with the Golden Core.
At that moment, they were very close, and he was confident he could seize the Celestial Phoenix Maiden. Once he got ahold of her, the opponent definitely would not be able to break free!
Thus, he could capture the leader first to threaten her subordinates.
Since achieving great success in his body cultivation, any opponent who came close had not fared well.
However, this time Qin Gengyun miscalculated.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s eyes flashed with gold, her wings suddenly spread behind her, and with a swift flutter, a gust of wind blew Qin Gengyun away!
Then the Celestial Phoenix Maiden also ascended into the air, her feet transforming into a pair of gigantic bird claws, clutching Qin Gengyun who had been blown skyward.
Gripped by those "claws" on his shoulder, a strange spiritual power instantly permeated Qin Gengyun’s body, leaving him feeling numb and helplessly immobile.
"You are destined to be with me, come with me!"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s wings spread wide, her sultry, magnetic laughter ringing across the sky.
Subsequently, the Phoenix Race flocked after her, their wings beating rapidly, soon flying far away.
From within the valley, only a group of female disciples remained, staring blankly at the distant Phoenix Race members and their brothers, now just black dots.
"Senior Sister Suxin, Senior Brother Chun and the others were all captured?"
Lin Qingchou’s voice trembled, while the other female disciples wore the same dazed expressions.
The Phoenix Race acted without any hesitation, directly taking the captives away, even efficiently subduing the close-combat powerhouse Qin Gengyun.
No one had managed to react in time.
Suxin’s face turned pale as she shouted: "Everyone, quickly circulate your powers to expel the poison!"
The women responded in unison, some even voicing their words through sobbing.
Celestial Phoenix Mountain and Joyful Union Sect are quite similar in nature; the women taken by Joyful Union Sect often meet a tragic fate, while the men taken by Celestial Phoenix Mountain have their essence drained, eventually turning into a dried corpse.
Zhenyang Sect dispatched its elite disciples this time, but unexpectedly, right after stepping into the South Demon’s territory, they were made helpless by two small sects before even encountering the formidable Red Cloud Mountain and Celestial Fall Sect.
The pride in their hearts instantly dissipated, leaving not a trace.
Now, they could only work furiously, striving to expel the poison from their bodies as quickly as possible, and go to Celestial Phoenix Mountain to rescue their brothers.
Let’s hope it’s not too late.
"Huh? Why didn’t Junior Brother Lanyin get captured?"
At this moment, someone finally noticed that Lan Yin was still sitting perfectly fine in the original spot, and all the women turned in surprise to look at him.
Mo Xiaolan was worried, focusing on circulating her powers, and at those words, she paused, not knowing how to explain.
She naturally understood the reason.
The women of Celestial Phoenix Mountain enhance their cultivation by absorbing men’s essence; the Celestial Phoenix Technique should have the ability to sense the men’s essence.
The members of Celestial Phoenix Mountain likely did not sense any men’s essence on her, so they ignored her for now.
However, now she didn’t know how to deflect the issue.
Next to her, Liu Su laughed heartily: "It must be that Senior Brother Lan is too handsome, those bird people probably thought he was a woman. Everyone, quickly expel the poison while you can, haha!"
"I doubt that’s the case."
A rather cold voice suddenly echoed from the side, prompting Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan to turn their heads, and it turned out to be Cheng Qingyu.
She looked at Mo Xiaolan, her eyes flashing: "Junior Brother Lanyin indeed looks handsome; it’s just unsure whether he’s handsome or beautiful."
For a moment, everyone turned their gaze to Mo Xiaolan.
Suxin frowned slightly: "Junior Sister Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
"Our senior brothers were captured by Celestial Phoenix Mountain, their lives hanging by a thread, and you still find time to bicker here, truly you’re showing deep camaraderie," a cold voice rang out, it was Ruo Mei, her face frosty, staring coldly at Cheng Qingyu.
"Eh? Was Junior Sister Ruo just at that spot?"
"Seems...she was?"
The female disciples seemed to just now notice Ruo Mei, feeling that after the black mist dispersed, Ruo Mei seemingly wasn’t there, yet suddenly appeared before their eyes.
Perhaps the shock from seeing their brothers being captured was too overwhelming for everyone to notice at first?
Many thought of it this way.
Only Cheng Qingyu wore a cold smile, Suxin pondering silently.
Jian Yue spoke with a cold tone: "Everyone, focus on circulating your powers."
As the Peak Master, her command made everyone afraid to chatter further, quickly shutting their eyes to circulate their powers.
Liu Su quickly transmitted to Qiu Zhihe: "Miss, the son-in-law was captured by the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, that elf even said the son-in-law was her destined man!"
Qiu Zhihe wasn’t as anxious as one might have imagined, pretending to focus her powers with eyes closed.
After an incense stick had burned, Jian Yue stood up: "My poison is cleared."
Little Hammer also stood: "My poison is cleared too."
Moreover, she glared defiantly at Jian Yue, apparently even competing over the speed of detoxification.
At this moment, Qiu Zhihe also stood up: "I’m going to Celestial Phoenix Mountain to rescue people."
"Junior Sister Ruo’s poison is also cleared?" Suxin looked at her in surprise.
Suxin had been circulating her powers for a long time, yet a small portion of the three toxins remained in her body, requiring at least another two-hour period to fully expel them.
How did this Junior Sister Ruo detoxify faster than her?
Cheng Qingyu suddenly said: "Unexpectedly, Junior Sister Ruo is remarkably hidden."
Her remark held implications, drawing many curious glances once again toward Qiu Zhihe.
Qiu Zhihe ignored Cheng Qingyu, turning to leave.
Jian Yue said: "I’m going too."
Little Hammer waved her big hammer: "That canary looks annoying, I’m going to Celestial Phoenix Mountain to hammer birds!"
Cheng Qingyu spoke again: "Peak Master Ye, Fairy Su, if you all leave, what will happen to Junior Sisters Xu and Zhou?"
