It’s just that Ji Yuan sighed even more, because no matter whether it is the phoenix or the phoenix, they are both sacred birds of extremely high level, and they may not really be able to manifest in the world of "The Theory of Birds".
The nine-tailed fox girl was even more shocked. Even though she was called the nine-tailed celestial fox, the fact that the phoenix had not yet appeared was much more difficult than encountering a real dragon. At least many real dragons could be found.
“Woo~~~~~Sob~~~~~~Clang~~~~~~~~Clang~~~~~~~”
It has to be admitted that the sound of the phoenix is one of the most beautiful sounds Ji Yuan has ever heard, and it is extremely like the sound of a flute, a kind of chirping sound that comes with its own melody. Just listening to this sound is like listening to a very artistic music performance, which makes Ji Yuan squint his eyes slightly and listen carefully.
Ji Yuan behaved so naturally, but the nine-tailed fox girl was much more nervous, especially after seeing Ji Yuan's performance, she couldn't help but think too much, but she didn't dare to act rashly at this moment. Even though she knew that Ji Yuan should be more terrifying in essence, the pressure brought to her by the Phoenix was still greater.
Because of his previous experience, Ji Yuan knew that the mysterious magical power he displayed by coordinating dream travel and the transformation of heaven and earth, all living things in his world evolved on their own and were not pure puppets. Those copper coins were the best example. So when Ji Yuan and the nine-tailed fox girl were observing the phoenix with curiosity or nervousness, the latter was also observing them from the air.
Hundreds of birds in the sea flew around the huge paulownia tree. Various lights and colors kept changing, and the chirping sounds became uniform from noisy. After the phoenix cried a few times, it gradually became quiet. It was said that hundreds of birds were paying homage to the phoenix, but in fact there were definitely more than a hundred species of birds.
In the surrounding sea, there were strong winds and huge waves where hundreds of birds were flying, but there was a gentle breeze at the location of the phoenix tree in the center, and every time the phoenix flapped its wings, it did not bring up any violent winds.
The five-colored divine light was in harmony with the phoenix, and the light seemed to follow the phoenix, slowly falling with it. It seemed that the phoenix saw someone standing on the phoenix tree for the first time. When it descended to a height of dozens of feet away from the treetops, the phoenix finally spoke human words.
"May I ask who the immortal is and where he came from? What are you doing in the paulownia tree where I live?"
Although it was speaking human language, the Phoenix's voice was still very pleasant and seemed very neutral. It was obvious that this sentence was directed at Ji Yuan. When the last word fell, the Phoenix had already landed on a nearby phoenix tree branch with a gust of gentle breeze.
The body of the phoenix is actually only two meters tall, which is considered extremely small among the mythical beasts and demonic beasts, but its tail feathers are several times longer than its body. The tail feathers falling on the branches are like colorful clouds with flowing light, which appear dazzling.
Even in the book, even though the phoenix manifested because of its own magical powers, Ji Yuan still maintained considerable respect for it and bowed to the phoenix.
"My humble name is Ji Yuan. I don't dare to be called an immortal. Those who are familiar with me can at most call me sir. This time, my juniors are in trouble. I came from a faraway place to fight with monsters in the North Sea. I happened to see the Wutong tree in the sea. I was lucky enough to see the true form of the auspicious bird!"
"Well, Mr. Ji, I am Feng Danye's courtesy."
The phoenix nodded gently towards Ji Yuan, with its beak pointing downwards and touching its forehead to his as a return gesture, and then looked towards the fox girl at the side.
"Who are you, then, Fox?"
Although the nine-tailed fox girl was inevitably emotional when she saw the Phoenix for the first time, she felt a little angry when she heard the Phoenix's obvious discrimination in her way of speaking, but it was not convenient for her to express it directly.
"Phoenix, it's really rare. My name is Tu Xin, the Nine-tailed Fox from Jade Fox Cave Heaven. I have some misunderstandings with Mr. Ji, so I am disturbing you."
In front of the Phoenix, the nine-tailed fox girl had already put away the demonic aura that had been greatly restrained by her nine tails. Her aura seemed much lighter, and she spoke in a graceful and neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Jade Fox Cave Heaven?"
The Phoenix let out a puzzled sound, with a clear smile in his eyes. He looked at the Nine-tailed Fox and then looked at Ji Yuan again.
"Neither of you seems to be here in your true form, yet you seem to be manifesting in physical form. One is not a puppet, and the other is definitely not an incarnation. It's really magical. Can you explain this to me?"
The nine-tailed fox was slightly stunned, and subconsciously reached out to touch her arm. It felt soft and elastic, and she could feel the temperature and heartbeat. She had been confronting or fighting with Ji Yuan before, and had no energy to think about anything else. When she heard what the phoenix said, she suddenly realized that she actually had a real body.
"How could this happen? This shouldn't happen!"
The nine-tailed fox knew that he was just a divine thought at the moment. He had appeared in Hu Yun’s mind before. Everything was false. There was a spirit but no real form. But now he is actually a real "person"
Looking at the fox girl's reaction, Fenghuang knew that she seemed to be unclear either. The only one who remained calm and smiling was Ji Yuan. He met Fenghuang's gaze and smiled softly.
"I would like to ask Daoist Dan Ye to help me refine this nine-tailed fox."
The nine-tailed fox girl's face changed. She didn't expect Ji Yuan to say such a thing directly. What made her scalp tingle was the pleasant reply from Phoenix.
"Okay, after this fox, I hope you can solve my doubts."
"Wait! Why? Stop..."
“Clang clang~~~~~~”
Before Tu Xin finished her words, the phoenix's cry was as loud as gold. It was also pleasant to the ear but also caused spiritual pain. For the nine-tailed fox girl, it was a direct blow to her vital points.
The fox girl also reacted very quickly. In the instant when her mind felt the pain, the Nine-Tailed Fox had already appeared behind her and slapped the trunk of the paulownia tree. Her body shot towards the side away from Ji Yuan and Fenghuang.
“Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…”…
The white fox tail hit the paulownia tree branch, but it only caused a few paulownia leaves to fall down, while the paulownia branch itself was only shaken but did not break.
"Roar… "
A blurry light appeared from the place where Tu Xin jumped away, and infinite demonic energy rose, covering the sky again. A huge white fox with nine tails behind it had revealed its true form, and appeared directly on the sea beside the paulownia tree, and was running rapidly towards the distance.
Tu Xin knew that he was struggling to deal with Ji Yuan at the moment, and he definitely couldn't withstand the addition of an unfathomable phoenix.
But Tu Xin knew that it was unrealistic to escape far away. Not to mention that the possibility that Ji Yuan and Fenghuang could not catch up with her was extremely small, even if they really could not catch up with her, this world was not the real world, and she might not be able to find a way to escape from here.
And this man surnamed Ji had said before that they were in the book. If this was true, then the only way Tu Xin could think of to escape from here was to go back to the island where the little fox was and destroy the book that the little fox was holding.
"I have to say, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a Nine-Tailed Fox after all. It has high Taoism and intelligence, and it grasped the key point immediately."
Ji Yuan murmured. Under normal circumstances, the most crucial "book" would be on Ji Yuan, but this time, "On the Birds" was transformed in Hu Yun's mind based on his memory. Of course, only Hu Yun himself could hold it. However, Ji Yuan was not worried that Tu Xin would succeed, but instead bowed to Fenghuang again.
"Fellow Daoist Dan, please help."
"Um."
After a faint response, the phoenix spread its wings with five colors following, and the divine light trailed by its tail feathers spread for several miles. With a flap of its wings, it had closed the distance between it and Tu Xin by one third. Ji Yuan stepped into the divine light behind the phoenix, and moved very fast as if he was on the fast lane.
"All great spirits and demonic birds will kill this fox."
My goodness, the phoenix hasn't arrived yet. With his order, countless birds from far and near, some with strong aura all moved at the sound and rushed towards Tu Xin with sharp or low bird calls.
"Roar... Die!"
"Boom..."
The sea was raging with strong winds and huge waves, and thunder was striking from time to time. Hundreds of thousands of giant birds continued to gather around the nine-tailed fox, and feathers were scattered and blood was spilled into the sea.
"This fox's spirit is weak. Everyone, attack its mind!"
I don't know which bird shouted loudly among the crowd, but all the birds screamed in unison the next moment.
“Li—” “Woo…” “Chi—”
The sea surface continued to explode, the dark clouds and thin clouds in the sky, and even the strong winds were torn into pieces, and visible and invisible waves continued to sweep across the battle group.
"ah… "
Tu Xin's sharp screams were particularly obvious at this moment, and the next moment, sharp bird beaks and sharp claws grabbed Tu Xin, and blood and rags were blown out of the battle group by the strong wind from time to time.
Ji Yuan was floating beside the phoenix, watching the show from a distance several miles away from the battle group.
“I thought I could see the Divine Phoenix take action.”
When Ji Yuan said this, the phoenix on the side turned its head to look at him, still flapping its wings lightly and hanging in the air, looking into the distance.
"Why waste your energy and dirty your hands?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Tu Xin could no longer hold on under the siege of countless birds. The powerful birds around her had flown away from her at some point and were either circling high in the sky or flying low over the sea, leaving a wide path for Ji Yuan and the phoenix to pass through.
"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."
Tu Xin was slumped on a rock in the sea, naked and covered in blood. His silver hair, which was once neatly tied up, was now disheveled and messy, with many parts of it broken. He supported himself on the reef with his hands, and his breathing was trembling.
Seeing the faint white light emanating from Tu Yun's body from time to time, Ji Yuan knew that her soul was about to collapse, and perhaps a huge wave could break her apart.
"Plan, plan for fate..."
"Tu Xin, I don't want you to interfere with Hu Yun's training in the future, so since I, as an elder, have seen you, I naturally have to help him get rid of the trouble."
"You, then you must be so decisive?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Has Ji ever given you some kind advice?"
When Tu Xin heard Ji Yuan's words, instead of being stunned and regretful, he was so angry that he laughed.
"Haha, hahahaha... your previous kind words of advice were clearly a setup!"
If Ji Yuan had shown such unpredictable skills before, would Tu Xin be unreasonable and not retreat temporarily
"I know you are not convinced, but after testing me, I know what kind of person you are. You are not someone who can win the trust of others. You don't need to struggle anymore."
As he was talking, Ji Yuan had already reached Tu Xin. The latter looked up at Ji Yuan with a pitiful expression, showing no reservation about her pride, but Ji Yuan simply waved his hand and pointed his sword at her forehead.
"Puff..."
The sword energy was like a needle, piercing Tu Xin directly, instantly destroying his body and soul and turning him into a blurry white light. Ji Yuan raised his sleeves, and the white halo was all taken into his sleeves.
…
In the distant Lanzhou of the Western Regions, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and the shield of the cave heaven, in the depths of a palace in a beautiful place in the Jade Fox Cave Heaven, a woman in palace dress was suddenly awakened from her rest on a luxurious bed.
"Uh-huh..."
The woman's face showed some pain, she was breathing slightly, and she was gently rubbing her forehead with her left and right hands.
As for Tu Xin's real body, she had completely lost all sense of anything after her spiritual consciousness entered the book, so she didn't know what happened in the book, nor did she know Ji Yuan's full name. She only knew that her spiritual consciousness had been destroyed and would never come back.
"In the end what happened?"
Compared to the spirit that died beside the Wutong tree in the sea, Tu Xin's original body was not very angry. He was mainly afraid of the "Mr. Ji" in his mind.
