Chapter 1116: Foes Meet
Because he didn’t react in time, the green vine whipped him squarely.
Even though he was still in the form of an egg, it was still a bloodfire phoenix egg after all, so it was impossible for this vine whip to do anything to him.
He just felt very aggrieved, along with a slap to his pride!
The bloodfire deity realized that this little lady in front of him truly disliked him from the bottom of her heart, and it absolutely didn’t seem like she was faking it.
But… he was the bloodfire deity, the unparalleled bloodfire phoenix egg of the heavens and the earth. There was actually someone who didn’t want him in this world?
Moreover, when he tried to forcibly undo that weak beast’s mental contract just now, he discovered that that weak beast didn’t seem all that simple.
On top of that, there was also a formidable barrier inside this little lady’s conscious pool that controlled everything with absolute mental defense.
He truly didn’t expect that there would be such an abnormal existence inside the conscious pool of this girl that didn’t look to be more than 15 years old.
By this time, the second batch of people—the people from Anyi Prefecture—had arrived.
Anyi Prefecture disciple Gong Yang led fifty plus disciples to where Qiao Mu and them were. Once he arrived, he couldn’t help shouting in surprise at whom he saw.
“It’s you?” Even after so many years, this little lady’s visage had been deeply imprinted inside his mind.
After all, the battle at Holy Water Sect’s main peak two years ago had practically taken the lives of all the Anyi Prefecture’s disciples on the spot.
As Hong Jinchuan’s eldest disciple, Gong Yang, a level-12 mystic cultivator, had followed beside Hong Jinchuan the entire way as their team trampled Holy Water Sect’s various peaks underfoot.
Before Qiao Mu activated the Tianji Treasure Blueprint, Gong Yang had already collapsed from overexertion.
Hence, he escaped the calamity of “enjoying” the Tianji Treasure Blueprint’s attack up close and personal.
He only saw that little la.s.s from the Holy Water Sect madly flinging out a divine weapon that indiscriminately annihilated many people. Subsequently, a tremendous shock threw him off the main peak, completely knocking him out.
It was only after he fled back to Anyi Prefecture’s base like a stray dog that he found out from the others that his master Hong Jinchuan’s life tablet had completely shattered.
Of the three hundred plus Anyi Prefecture disciples that went with him to encircle and annihilate the Holy Water Sect, only a dozen had fled back. Moreover, quite a few of them had lost a limb or gone mad, unable to even speak clearly.
He didn’t expect that two years after that incident, he would once again encounter this little girl from the Holy Water Sect in the Mystic Beast Forest.
A hint of fear and envy flashed past Gong Yang’s eyes, and he quickly approached a strong and healthy elder around sixty years old, shouting out, “Pundit Li, that is her. Holy Water Sect’s surviving member. It is possible that she knows the whereabouts of the sacred water! Also, she possesses a divine weapon, the Tianji Treasure Blueprint.”
“What?” Pundit Li was overjoyed upon hearing this, and he lifted his eyelids to look at Qiao Mu before he bellowed in laughter, “Looking for something high and low yet finding it when you least expect it!”
“Sure enough, there is a kind of person who is exceptionally gifted and carries tremendous fortune! Look, she has the divine weapon, the Tianji Treasure Blueprint, and now the sacred beast, the phoenix egg.” Pundit Li’s gaze promptly settled on the bloodfire phoenix egg beside Qiao Mu’s feet, greed overflowing from his eyes.
“Wait until I capture you little girl and meticulously torture the whereabouts of the sacred water out of you.” Pundit Li then grabbed at Qiao Mu as soon as he finished speaking.
However, he only ended up grabbing at empty air. After rapidly stepping aside, Qiao Mu kicked the phoenix egg at the elder.
She instinctively thought that this person had also come for the phoenix egg.
Even so, she simply didn’t hear one sentence of all that the elder had jabbered on about earlier.
But the bloodfire phoenix egg was very furious!
