It's night, in the fairy pavilion of Yaochi.
Yue Mei is reporting to Chen Mu about the daytime recruitment.
"So, five people have been successfully selected, but is there anyone suspicious?"
Chen Mu asked.
"Among the four people, three are from the Protoss, and two are from the Human Race. There is nothing suspicious about the two of the Human Race. However, one of the Protoss is also a talisman master, and he also uses a mysterious divine fire. I suspect that he may be related to Ye Lingyue has something to do with it."
The suspicious person Yue Mei was talking about was the animal trainer with the surname Zeng.
This person has always wanted to win the favor of Yaochi Xianxie, so in the daytime, he worked very hard to tame the cloud-swallowing beast.
He didn't know that it was precisely because of his outstanding performance that Yue Mei's suspicion aroused.
"Keep an eye on him, and strengthen the guards in the forbidden area. These few days are the critical moment for the full maturity of the underworld coffin, so there must be no mistakes."
Chen Mu said.
"Brother Mu, don't worry, the forbidden area is heavily guarded, and the ancient phoenix also lives there, no one can break in."
Yue Mei is very sure.
What Chen Mu and Yue Mei didn't expect was that when they were discussing about the forbidden area, a person was looking for it in Yaochi Fairy Pavilion.
On Ye Lingyue's body, the invisibility talisman just came into play.
In the verdant night, she passed a piece of pavilions in a few steps.
In his mind, he still recalled what Die Mei told himself.
"My lord, my subordinates have already inquired about Ye Liuyun's whereabouts. I can be sure that she is not in the Yaochi Xianxie. However, there is one place that my subordinates have not searched for. It is the habitat of the ancient phoenix. It is the place where the masters of all generations practiced. I Even though you are an elder, you are not qualified to trespass without authorization. If you must search, you can start from there. However, it is also the habitat of the ancient phoenix, named Phoenix Terrace, you must be careful of the ancient phoenix."
Die Mei's words still ring in her ears.
Ye Lingyue is no stranger to Phoenix Terrace.
She and Wu Zhong had been here before, and several years have passed, Ye Lingyue doesn't know if there are any changes there.
Since Yue Mei never suspected Ye Lingyue, no one followed her.
Ye Lingyue approached the Phoenix Terrace without much effort.
"Um?"
As soon as she got close to the Phoenix Terrace, Ye Lingyue couldn't help frowning.
Is this Phoenix Terrace
Ye Lingyue looked at the ancient tree in front of her with some surprise.
I don't know if Ye Lingyue's memory is wrong, or something else, but in Ye Lingyue's impression, the place where the ancient phoenix lived back then seems to be a Yaotai grown from an ancient tree.
But the Phoenix Terrace in front of him was a dead ancient tree.
The branches and leaves of the ancient trees have withered long ago, leaving only a piece of withered yellow.
The tree stump was so big that it took more than ten people to hug it with their arms around it. There were still patches of burnt black marks on the tree, as if some kind of flame had burned it.
This reminded Ye Lingyue of what Die Mei said earlier.
The ancient phoenix was reborn from the ashes of the fire, and the rebirth of the ancient phoenix was on the phoenix stage.
The ancient phoenix was reborn, but the ancient trees on the phoenix stage suffered disaster.
The whole ancient tree exudes a desolate atmosphere, and the whole tree is a hundred feet high.
In the middle of the tree, there is a cave.
It is rumored that this is the place where the past masters retreated, and the past masters of Yaochi Xianxie would go to retreat here when they faced a bottleneck period.
However, in the past, due to the protection of the ancient phoenix, ordinary people could not find this mysterious tree cave even if they got close to the ancient tree.
At the beginning, Ye Liuyun also practiced in retreat in this tree cave.
During the daytime on weekdays, Gu Huang would always guard in front of the Phoenix Terrace.
Every day, only around midnight, the ancient phoenix will enter a short dormancy period. At that time, the formation of the Phoenix Terrace will stop for about half an hour. If Ye Lingyue wants to visit the Phoenix Terrace, at that time, it will undoubtedly be Perfect timing.
These are all the news that Die Mei can provide.
Just after midnight, there was not even a wisp of thin cloud in the sky.
The bright moonlight, like frost and snow, sprinkled the ground.
"If I want to find Sister Liuyun, I can only enter that tree cave."
Ye Lingyue looked up at the ancient tree.
She jumped up from her feet and wanted to fly up the tree.
But at this time, a black cloud suddenly enveloped the sky.
A cramped atmosphere spread all over the sky.
Ye Lingyue was slightly startled, her feet stopped, and she fell quickly.
But seeing the sky, there was a sound of beeping, and a big fiery red bird covered with fire feathers fell from the sky.
The ancient phoenix in flames!
Ye Lingyue looked up, but her heart was shocked.
Ye Lingyue encountered this big thing once before.
At that time, Wu Zhong was there, and Ye Lingyue took the heart and blood and ran away.
But the big bird culled today was nearly twice as big as the one Ye Lingyue saw that day.
Its wings stretched out, and the feathers all over its body were blazing.
Its eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it stared at Ye Lingyue for an instant.
Ye Lingyue was shocked when she saw it.
It's not that she shy away from Gu Huang's rebirth strength, but because she obviously has an invisibility talisman on her body, logically speaking, it is impossible for Gu Huang to find her.
This invisibility talisman is not the original invisibility talisman, but Ye Lingyue's improvement. Unless the strength surpasses her, it is logical that the opponent cannot discover her existence.
Earlier, she passed under the eyes of several patrolling disciples in Yaochi Xianxie, but the other party didn't know it.
It can be seen from Gu Huang's appearance that he has clearly discovered Ye Lingyue's existence.
Ye Lingyue was secretly startled.
Ye Lingyue changed several positions in an instant, and escaped from Gu Huang's sharp claws several times.
Guhuang's wings fluttered, creating waves of hurricanes.
There was a whistling wind in the entire Phoenix Terrace, if this continued, the patrolling disciples would be alarmed very soon.
"Tsk tsk, you lied to me, you are digging someone's ancestral grave, this big bird has gone crazy."
In the sea of void consciousness, Zhu Zhao was amazed.
Ye Lingyue was also complaining in her heart, and she didn't understand why the invisibility talisman that she had tried so many times suddenly failed.
"I just stole its heart and soul."
"That's no wonder. You have been stained with heart and blood, and the big bird probably smelled you. Don't say anything. Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy. You'd better leave."
Seeing the appearance of the ancient phoenix, Zhu Zhao wished to tear Ye Lingyue into pieces, and kindly reminded her.
Ye Lingyue's consciousness swept away, and footsteps could be heard not far away. It seemed that Guhuang's crazy behavior had alarmed the people in Yaochi Xianxie.
She was unwilling to linger any longer, and with a teleportation talisman in her hand, she had no choice but to retreat from the Phoenix Terrace.
Just before Ye Lingyue left, Chen Mu, Yue Mei and others rushed over.
"What happened to Gu Huang?"
Yue Mei and the others looked up and saw Gu Huang swooping down.
Its sharp beak, without any explanation, pecked off fiercely, a disciple screamed, and died under the bird's mouth.
