Chapter 1301 The Dark Phoenix Clan
"Do you think you and I can capture Ning Ruan on our own?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"The consequences of trying are beyond what you and I can bear. If you insist on capturing Ning Ruan, then I will have no choice but to report to the clan."
"Are you determined to oppose me?"
"You Li, don't forget, we're still being hunted down by those guys on the tenth floor."
"So what? Them? If all else fails, we'll just kill them all. It won't be long anyway... Wait, these guys actually came looking for us. They're courting death!"
"Youli, try not to get entangled with them!"
"You destroyed one of my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's corpse puppets, so I'll repay you with one at the Nascent Soul Realm. It's a bit old, but it's still usable."
……
That night, the entire Eternal Realm was in turmoil.
Several earth-shattering bursts of spiritual energy erupted in the sky, the aftershocks of the battle between Nascent Soul Realm experts turning half the night sky blood red.
Countless cultivators were awakened from their cultivation.
Then I saw several figures fighting fiercely in the sky.
One side is the city lord of the ten cities.
The other party must have used some means to conceal themselves, making it impossible to discern their race and appearance.
However, the dozens of corpse puppets surrounding the opponent were quite conspicuous.
Each corpse puppet exuded a chilling aura of death.
The battle lasted for almost the entire night.
Some people witnessed the Flame City Lord's natal spirit fire being forcibly extinguished.
Even the Nascent Soul stage couldn't escape.
He died on the spot that very night.
Some people also saw that the city lord of Xuanshui City was severely injured and forced to abandon his body, while his nascent soul fled in panic.
The other city lords were also injured.
Countless corpse puppets fell from mid-air.
Finally, the two cultivators who had concealed their true identities, along with the remaining corpse puppets, successfully escaped from the Eternal Domain.
"The Dark Phoenix Clan... Damn Dark Phoenix Clan..."
From the direction of the Eternal Domain portal came the furious roar of the Jiao City Lord.
The entire Eternal Realm was in an uproar.
……
The next day.
Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, casting dappled patterns on the floor.
Ning Ruan slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and felt refreshed, with an indescribable sense of comfort throughout her body.
She looked inward and found that the spiritual energy in her dantian was becoming more and more refined and condensed, and her cultivation level had increased significantly.
"It's gone up again."
Ning Ruan spread out her fair palm and examined it from all angles.
Admittedly, this surge in cultivation level is inextricably linked to the Azure Sea Tide Banquet.
But there's a bigger reason.
It's still glass bone.
Since awakening her Glazed Bone, her cultivation speed has become extremely unreasonable.
In the past, it would take a long time to improve one's cultivation level even slightly.
But now it's soaring upwards like a rocket.
It's like having your Ren and Du meridians opened up.
"So, what exactly is this thing?"
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
What is certain is that the glass bone is beneficial to her.
It has great benefits.
As for the downsides?
No such findings have been discovered yet.
Breakfast was still prepared by those two boundless bandit chefs.
She sat down and slowly took a sip of the sweet and soft spirit rice porridge.
Lei Zhen stood opposite him with a complicated expression, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Senior Lei, please say what you want to say." Ning Ruan raised her eyes calmly.
Lei Zhen: "..."
I don't know if Ningruan is genuinely unaware or just pretending.
With such a commotion last night, even someone in seclusion should have known by now.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Something terrible happened last night."
"The Lord of Yan City has fallen."
He just finished speaking.
Inside the ancient Lingke tree, the little boy suddenly darted out, "I know, I know, Master, last night was truly terrifying."
"Not only did that old guy from Yan City die, but the one from Xuan Shui City was also seriously injured, and even his Nascent Soul was knocked out."
He shook his head and said, "Even if I recover from my injuries, my cultivation level will drop drastically."
"Do you know who did it? You'd never guess."
"Is it related to the Dark Phoenix Clan?" Ning Ruan swallowed the spiritual porridge in her mouth, raised her head slightly, and asked casually.
Xiao Shulin immediately stared in shock, "Master, you know about what happened last night? Then why are you pretending you don't know anything?"
"About last night? I don't know anything about it," Ning Ruan said.
She genuinely didn't know.
She ate so much good food last night that she slept very well.
With the addition of the array formations at Yunxi Terrace, as well as her own several array formations, the multiple layers of defense meant that even with all the commotion outside, it didn't disturb her sleep.
Of course, the main reason was that I didn't feel any danger.
She said seriously, "The only ones I know who can control corpses are the Nether Phoenix Clan. What? Is it really them?"
Lei Zhen: "..."
Of course, the Nether Phoenix Clan is not the only ones capable of controlling corpses.
Even among humans, there are a very few cultivators who can accomplish this.
But what happened last night was indeed done by the Dark Phoenix Clan.
At least that's what the city lord of Jiaocheng thought, having fought against them before.
"I'm not sure. Their fight was too intense at the time, so we didn't dare get close, but..."
"The city lord of Jiaocheng mentioned the Mingfeng Clan, so it must be them."
Ning Ruan asked, "Where are they? Did they escape?"
Lei Zhen nodded, "Yes, there were two people in total, but neither of them managed to stay."
"All that's left are the corpse puppets, but those are pretty useless."
"As for those missing prodigies... they have been found."
"Only four survived. The rest were all turned into corpse puppets. However, perhaps the process was not yet complete, as a few remained. The others were all taken away by them."
In other words, those two members of the Nether Phoenix Clan almost escaped unscathed.
Even Lei Zhen found this result unbelievable.
Despite being besieged by the combined forces of the city lords of the ten major races, they were still able to escape successfully.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe me if I told them.
"However, the one from the Wind Fox Clan was lucky enough to survive, but he was also seriously injured. If it had been any later, he would probably have been turned into a corpse puppet."
"Hmm." Ning Ruan nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "The ten major races just let them escape like that? They didn't chase after them?"
Lei Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Based on my understanding of the ten major races, they should have also prepared a backup plan, and they certainly won't let those two go."
"And the Dark Phoenix Clan..."
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the matter was strange.
How could the Dark Phoenix Clan be so bold?
Even if they were expelled, they shouldn't be so bold as to directly provoke the ten major races.
Ning Ruan hadn't finished her breakfast yet.
Outside Yunxi Terrace, more than a dozen figures landed.
Leading the group was Chi Ling, who had challenged her to a duel the previous night.
Following behind him was Tianjiao, who had also attended the Azure Sea Tide Banquet the previous night.
"Ning Ruan, I'm here."
Outside the formation, Chi Ling addressed the inside in a solemn voice: "Today, can we finally have a battle?"
"of course can."
Ning Ruan raised her hand and deactivated the formation.
"But you'll have to wait, I haven't finished my meal yet."
Chiling: "..."
