Seeing the changes in the giant pupa, Chen Lin didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only fly closer and continue waiting.
At this moment, something strange happened.
I saw ripples in the space above the giant pupa, and then a huge claw appeared out of thin air and grabbed the giant pupa.
Chen Lin was shocked and activated the Thunder God Sword without hesitation. A beam of lightning shot towards the claw.
At the same time, Xiaocao's sword light and Huang Liu's attack also came one after another, and three rays of light blocked the giant claw from different directions.
But the giant claw trembled slightly, and the surrounding space became distorted. The three attacks changed direction when they were about to hit and went around.
The power of space!
Chen Lin's face changed.
"snort!"
Seeing that the giant claw dodged the attack and continued to grab down, about to touch the giant pupa, Nie Cangqiong snorted coldly, and a black spear appeared out of thin air and came close to the giant claw.
The giant claw used the same trick again, trying to avoid the spear, but the spear ignored the distorted space, and the tip of the spear flashed with black light and pierced the giant claw.
“Chi!”
A cry was heard, and the giant claws retracted in pain, and then a huge monster appeared, which turned out to be a giant fiery red bird shaped like a phoenix!
"Fire Phoenix?"
Nie Cangqiong retracted his spear and exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the giant bird that appeared.
Xiaocao and others also gathered together and stared at the big bird's actions.
"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Brother Nie. Is this person who has reached Nirvana from your Liangyi Sect?"
The Fire Phoenix opened and closed its mouth, making a man's voice.
Nie Cangqiong frowned upon hearing the voice and said in a cold voice: "Huo Qian? Why don't you stay in your Wan Yao Mountain? What are you doing in my Liang Yi Sect's territory? Are you planning to start a war with my Liang Yi Sect?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Nie, don't put the blame on me. I was just passing by and happened to sense the aura of the same kind, so I came to take a look."
The Fire Phoenix tilted its head, glanced at the giant pupa and said.
Nie Cangqiong raised his sword-like eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "In that case, please leave after reading it, and don't disturb our people from breaking through the realm."
When Chen Lin heard what Nie Cangqiong said, he immediately knew that this Fire Phoenix was either very powerful or had a strong background.
The opponent is a powerful Taoist. If it is an ordinary sixth-level monster, the opponent cannot just drive it away. You must know that the Fire Phoenix is full of treasures. This monster can be exchanged for a top-notch spiritual treasure of the spiritual level!
He couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate in his heart that he had spent a huge amount of money to hire the other party, otherwise this fire phoenix would have wiped out their entire team. Moreover, Wan Yao Mountain was also one of the top five major forces in the Tianfang Continent, and the name of the Liang Yi Sect could not scare the other party at all.
"Breakthrough realm, haha, isn't this a failure in Nirvana? Anyway, it will turn into nothingness soon, so why not let me absorb the last bit of blood essence now, so as to leave a little trace for her in this world."
Fire Phoenix's eyes were filled with desire. He looked at the giant pupa with more cracks, and then said to Nie Cangqiong, "How about exchanging a Dao Yun Pearl for this Nirvana pupa?"
Chen Lin's face changed.
He had heard of the Dao Yun Pearl, which was something that could increase the Dao Yun of a Dao Yun master. It was extremely precious. If Nie Cangqiong was tempted, not only would Luo Qinglan not be saved, but all the people present would also be killed.
He quietly retracted his hand into his sleeve and grasped the immobilization talisman. As long as the other party showed the slightest abnormality, he would immediately activate the talisman.
But he was relieved immediately. Nie Cangqiong shook his spear and said calmly, "I am not someone who can be deceived by external things. You have three breaths to leave, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Huo Feng glanced at Nie Cangqiong and said, "Then you can just watch it turn into nothingness. Tsk tsk, what a pity to waste such a slow-growing thing!"
After saying this, he flapped his wings and was about to escape into the void.
At this moment, there was a crackling sound from the giant cocoon below, and it completely shattered. At the same time, a ball of dazzling flame erupted, carrying a terrifying aura of rules.
Everyone, including Huo Feng and Nie Cangqiong, were forced to retreat rapidly by the flames. Only Chen Lin activated the Thousand Layer Armor and stopped after retreating several feet.
Then his expression changed drastically.
There was no trace of Luo Qinglan in the flames. Only the other party's life-saving magic weapon, the Vermillion Bird, was floating there.
Luo Qinglan is gone!
Chen Lin's head buzzed and his body swayed twice. He almost couldn't keep floating and fell to the ground.
But he immediately remembered that Luo Qinglan once said that he had prepared a way to save his life. If he was not lying, then that should be this Suzaku Feather.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the sadness in his heart and flew forward.
"The feathers of the mythical beast Suzaku?"
The Fire Phoenix, which had not left yet, let out an exclamation of disbelief, then flapped its wings, and came above the feather just in front of Chen Lin, grabbing it with its huge claws.
Chen Lin was furious and directly activated the immobilization talisman!
The opponent's spatial magic is superb. If the opponent catches the Suzaku Feather, Nie Cangqiong who has already retreated to a distance may not be able to stop him in time. The Suzaku Feather is not only Luo Qinglan's natal magic weapon, it is more likely to contain Luo Qinglan's soul, and must not fall into the hands of the opponent.
Originally, he only thought that even if the immobilization talisman could not immobilize the opponent, it could at least slow down the opponent's speed and buy some time for Nie Cangqiong to take action.
However, no one expected that after the talisman was activated, it immediately turned into an invisible mysterious force, enveloping the opponent without giving him any chance to react.
No matter how the other party struggles, he cannot immediately break free from the restraints.
Seeing this, a murderous intent flashed in Chen Lin's eyes. He raised his hand and the real body of the Thunder God Sword hit the opponent directly.
The two were only a few feet apart and hit each other in the blink of an eye. A ball of lightning exploded and the opponent's huge body was submerged in it.
The next moment, it turned into charcoal and fell to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.
Chen Lin waved his hand and took back both the Thundergod Sword and the Vermillion Bird Feather.
"You killed it?"
Nie Cangqiong, who came up immediately, was stunned.
Chen Lin only had the cultivation level of the initial Nascent Soul stage, yet he was able to kill the famous Huo Qian. The opponent was a sixth-order monster with extraordinary talent. Even he could only defeat the opponent but not kill him.
Destroying the enemy across two major realms is something I've never even heard of, let alone encountered!
Nie Cangqiong's eyes turned deep as he looked at Chen Lin. He began to doubt Chen Lin's identity, wondering if he was an old monster with hidden cultivation.
Similarly, Chen Lin himself found it a little unbelievable.
He had expected that the Thunder God Sword could kill the opponent. After all, it was a treasure containing innate power. The Fourth Prince, wearing thousands of layers of armor, was unable to block it. However, the power of the Immobilization Talisman was far beyond his expectations.
But now is not the time to think about these things. He also became extremely vigilant, guarding against Nie Cangqiong coveting the treasure and taking action.
Now that the immobilization talisman is gone, the power of the Thunder God Sword has been fully released. Although some backup plans have been prepared, they have no deterrent effect on the Dao Yun strongmen.
The restraining power of the spiritual contract is not omnipotent. If the opponent insists on attacking regardless of the backlash, there is nothing he can do.
Immediately, Xiaocao, Huang Liu and Ling Qianshan flew over.
Xiaocao and Chen Lin were in tune with each other. Xiaocao stayed close to Chen Lin, very cautious.
Mu Xingchen headed straight for the crater and flew in.
However, Chen Lin glanced at Ling Qianshan. If Nie Cangqiong took action, he would be the only one among them who would have a chance of escape.
This is also the reason why he asked the other party to come over, to restrain Nie Cangqiong.
Even though he is only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and has never been promoted to the Void Refining Realm, his soul realm has reached a superb level. It is rumored that there is a clone of the soul, and even if the main body dies, it can be resurrected in the clone.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope for escape, Nie Cangqiong will be cautious. After all, the other party is the council elder of Liangyi Sect, so he has to have some face.
But Nie Cangqiong once again showed his character. He glanced at the coke fragments on the ground, and then said in a deep voice: "This Huo Qian's identity is extraordinary. No one should leak the news, otherwise they will be hunted down by the big monsters in Wan Yao Mountain!"
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Lin, took a step forward, and disappeared into the void.
Chen Lin immediately landed on the ground and picked up a bright red crystal from the coke fragments. Then he waved his sleeves, rolled up all the coke fragments and put them into a box, and finally flew into the crater.
But he soon flew out with Mu Xingchen, his face gloomy.
"There's nothing inside, let's go back to the city first!"
After saying this, Chen Lin took out the flying treasure and flew towards Liangyi City.
…
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the western part of the continent, in a gorgeous cave, a little demon ran into the hall in a panic.
"Oh no, Second King! The Third King's soul lamp has gone out!"
"What!"
The one called the King was a monster with a human body and a tiger head. He was horrified when he heard this and grabbed the little monster in his hand.
"Say it again!"
The little demon shrank his neck in fear, but still said, "Reporting to the Second King, the Third King's soul lamp went out just now!"
The tiger demon's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he roared, "Whoever dares to kill someone from the Four Spirits Cave, I will skin him alive and pull out his tendons!"
But immediately he frowned, threw the little demon away and walked out of the cave.
…
Chen Lin sat quietly in the room, looking at the Vermillion Bird Feather in his hand.
After a long time, he gently stroked the feather, placed it on the table, and frowned.
He had checked this thing several times, but found nothing. He just felt a faint energy fluctuation on it, and a faint sense of rules, but there was no breath of Luo Qinglan.
"Xiao Cao, do you have any feeling?"
Chen Lin called Xiaocao to his side and asked him to check it out as well.
Xiao Cao shook his head and said, "Master, Xiao Cao can't sense anything."
Then he continued, "How about we go find that great appraiser to have it appraised?"
Chen Lin shook his head when he heard this.
The origin of this Vermillion Bird Feather is extraordinary. The Fire Phoenix's final shock was not fake. At that time, he also felt that Nie Cangqiong also had emotional fluctuations. It was probably because he was shocked by the way he killed the Fire Phoenix. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether he would try to snatch it.
Moreover, this item is related to Luo Qinglan's last hope, so it is better not to show it in front of others.
"Okay, go call Master Mu over."
Chen Lin waved his hand and asked Xiaocao to call Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen had been waiting outside anxiously, and followed Xiaocao in as soon as he went out.
"Did the True Lord discover anything? Is the soul of the Sect Master inside this treasure?"
Chen Lin sighed and said bitterly, "Nothing was found, so I asked Master Mu to check it out."
Mu Xingchen's face changed when he heard this. He immediately walked forward, carefully picked up the feather, and studied it carefully.
After a long while, he finally let it go and shook his head.
Chen Lin's heart sank.
It was hard for him to accept that Luo Qinglan's nirvana had failed and turned into nothing.
Mu Xingchen's expression was also extremely ugly. His relationship with Luo Qinglan was no weaker than Chen Lin's. He had always regarded Luo Qinglan as his own daughter, and he could not accept the result of Luo Qinglan's death.
"Master, do you want to go find someone to take a look?"
Chen Lin thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's find a solution ourselves first, and try not to look for others. This Vermillion Bird Feather is too conspicuous, in case someone wants to get their hands on it."
Having said that, he suddenly remembered something, and with a thought, a hazy gray-white light fell on the feather.
Then he was stunned, and then overjoyed!
In the sea of knowledge, the scene of the long river of destiny appeared out of thin air. In the long river, a small fish that was almost too weak to be seen was standing there, motionless.
Although this little fish is so weak, as long as the long river of energy and destiny is revealed, it means that Luo Qinglan is still alive!
The dead cannot manifest!
When Mu Xingchen saw Chen Lin's expression, he felt something, but he didn't dare to disturb him and could only wait anxiously.
As he watched, he saw Chen Lin touch his storage bag and take out a bumpy ball from it. It seemed that he absorbed some energy from it. Then he took out a golden crab and swallowed it raw.
Although I don’t know what Chen Lin is doing, I feel there is hope.
In the sea of consciousness.
As the accumulated dribbling and the only golden crab's luck were absorbed, the tentacle of fate grew thicker.
Chen Lin's idea came to his mind, and he immediately controlled the tentacles to move the gap on the line closest to the fish.
Although the gap was not completely broken, it would be difficult for Luo Qinglan, a little fish, to survive this disaster given his weakness. It had to be corrected before he could feel at ease.
"uh-huh!"
As the line was moved, a powerful energy rebounded back. Chen Lin groaned, his face suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
But he swallowed it immediately.
He slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "Qinglan's residual soul is indeed living in here. You guys should leave first. I want to study it further."
Mu Xingchen was overjoyed when he heard this. He wanted to say something but held back and left the room with Xiaocao.
After they left, Chen Lin vomited three mouthfuls of blood in succession. His body functions continued to weaken, and the essence of his soul continued to dissipate. He took several pills in a row before he stabilized.
But it was also extremely weak.
If his elixirs were not all high-grade and included genuine Soul-Restoring Pills, he might have been killed by the backlash.
This made him feel that Luo Qinglanxin had succeeded in his promotion, so the improvement in his life level caused him to suffer such a great backlash.
"My dear, I have been so worried about you. You can't die. You must come back to life and repay me!"
Chen Lin's feathers murmured something to themselves, closed their eyes and began to recover.
