Chapter 148 Phoenix and Taotie
Chapter 148 Phoenix and Taotie
Qianxing City is the busiest city in the Wanxian Territory. Every day, there are endless merchant ships coming from all over the place. However, at this time, the atmosphere in the city is somewhat tense and panic-stricken.
The reason for this is that there are countless dangers in the Wangu Cave, and many talented and powerful people from various forces have died. All major forces are very angry. In order to appease everyone, Yao Chi held a banquet and invited people from many forces to attend.
"Bastard!"
Feng Tianyang, the fifth elder of the Feng family, shouted angrily. A terrifying aura erupted from his body, causing some people at the banquet to look at him, but no one blamed him.
All nine elders and the Holy Son of the Feng family who entered the Ten Thousand Bones Cave this time died. Feng Tianyang's anger was understandable, and no one wanted to run into this bad luck.
"Damn it! Whoever killed my Bing family's holy son, my Bing family will fight him to the death!"
The second elder of the Bing family had his eyes wide open with anger, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, making those with low cultivation feel as if they were falling into an icy cave and leave his side.
"What happened in the Ten Thousand Bone Cave this time? Why did so many talented and powerful people die?"
The tenth elder of Xianyao Peak frowned slightly. She prayed for Jun Shuier in her heart. Even if there was no harvest, as long as she came out alive,
The beautiful eyes of the Yao Chi Saint Lord on the main throne were also full of doubts. According to ancient records, the Ten Thousand Bone Cave was just a space opened up by the powerful monsters. Although it was not safe, it should not have caused large-scale deaths.
The current situation made her feel uneasy, but when she thought of how intelligent and friendly Saint Xiao Qian was, she felt relieved.
"Everyone, please be patient. The greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity. Once the people who entered the secret realm leave the Ten Thousand Bones Cave, we will know what happened."
The Saint Lady of Yao Chi spoke slowly. Her voice contained a special melody that calmed the anxious crowd a little and managed to calm everyone's emotions.
"I hope Master Lin and the Seventh Elder can escape unscathed..."
Tang Yunxiao sighed. He had no mood to drink. Holding the soul jade of the seventh elder of Xianfeng School in his hand, he dared not be distracted.
……
……
Lin Chen was rising and falling in the void passage. He felt that his internal organs were being squeezed and it was very difficult to breathe, but he was already used to teleportation. He just held Yue's hand tightly to prevent the two from being separated.
After an unknown amount of time, the view in front of them suddenly became clear. Lin Chen and Yue were caught off guard and almost fell down. After they stood firm and looked around, they were shocked by the scene before them.
"Wow...how spectacular!"
Yue opened her cherry lips and looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. The world was in chaos. There was no sun, moon, stars, mountains or rivers. The boundary between heaven and earth was not very clear.
Not knowing how far away from the two of them, an ancient altar stood there as if it had existed forever. There was clearly no terrifying aura around it, but it gave people a shock from deep within their souls, which was very strange.
"Is that an egg?"
Lin Chen's attention was not on the chaos of heaven and earth. His consciousness swept across the altar and found a gray egg placed in the center of the altar. He said with some uncertainty,
Upon hearing this, Yue also spread his spiritual consciousness towards the altar. His face changed slightly and he looked at Lin Chen beside him hesitantly. It was obvious that he did not quite believe that the greatest opportunity in the Ten Thousand Bone Cave was just an egg.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Lin Chen suggested, Yue nodded gently, and the two of them then walked towards the altar cautiously. The road leading to the altar didn't look very long, but it was actually much longer than imagined.
After several hours of travel, Lin Chen and Yue finally arrived in front of the altar. Only then did they discover that there were golden and red lines flowing on the gray egg, emitting a dazzling light, which was very sacred.
"There is a great deal of life energy inside, so it should be possible for it to hatch. But what kind of egg is this?"
Lin Chen closed his eyes and felt the egg in front of him. He didn't expect that the egg, which looked motionless, actually contained such a magnificent life essence. It was simply unbelievable.
"Could it be a Taotie egg? Chen, have you asked Jiutun how they reproduced?"
Yue poked the eggshell carefully but found nothing. The egg shook slightly and then calmed down.
"No, why would I ask that kind of thing?"
Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Why would he ask Jiu Tun such a question? Moreover, both of them are of the same sex. Isn't this even more embarrassing?
"You two... you are finally here."
At this moment, an elegant voice sounded behind Lin Chen and the others. They turned around in surprise and found two figures floating on the strange gray egg, one man and one woman.
The one who spoke earlier was the young girl, with long black hair falling to her waist, a red dress that was particularly dazzling, and an elegant and lovely smile on her face. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a beauty that could topple a country or a city.
The man next to the girl was wearing a green robe and had his long hair tied into a braid at the back of his head. He looked as elegant and refined as an earthly scholar, and was also handsome and dashing.
"Are you a Taoist couple?"
Lin Chen's eyes fell on the hands of the girl and the boy, and he asked with some doubt. His question startled the girl and the boy. They didn't expect that the first thing Lin Chen said when he saw them was this.
Yue coquettishly took Lin Chen's hand and gently placed it on her head, her eyes curiously falling on the two people opposite.
"I...we are not..."
"We are Taoist couples!"
The man hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the girl beside him. The girl stopped the man firmly and looked at Lin Chen and Yue with her beautiful eyes.
"I see, I understand."
Lin Chen seemed to understand something, and then he said,
"May I ask what your identities are? Do you know the origin of that egg?"
He already had a guess, but in order to confirm his guess, he needed confirmation from the girl and the boy. Yue also showed a very expectant expression. She felt that the girl and the boy must know something that could solve their doubts.
"…I am Feng Wan, the little princess of the Phoenix clan, and he is a glutton named Yuan. We first met by chance. At that time, I was poisoned and almost died. It was thanks to Yuan who saved me that I was able to survive."
Feng Wan's eyes were filled with warmth and nostalgia. She closed her eyes gently, as if recalling that carefree time.
"It's a pity... my race destined me to not be able to walk with Yuan smoothly. My father and relatives strongly opposed my marriage to Yuan, but I was already pregnant at that time, so they had no choice but to agree."
"But Wan'er's sister, the Phoenix Clan's eldest princess Feng Xian'er, thinks she is a disgrace to the Phoenix Clan and has secretly colluded with the Nine Infants Clan to murder her!"
The man named Yuan at the side spoke in grief and anger, emitting tangible murderous intent from him, making him look like a god of death, intimidating to those who approach him, but the expression on his face was extremely sad.
"I rushed to rescue her immediately after I broke through the Daojun realm, but I was also seriously injured. I only had time to see her for the last time, save our child, and open up this world before I died."
Yuan then stopped. He and Feng Wan seemed to have a telepathic connection. They both cast their gentle gazes towards the altar, where a gray egg lay. It was their own flesh and blood, the fruit of their love.
This is the proof of their existence and the person they love most besides each other.
