Chapter 914: Coincidentally Meeting Two Women
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The Valley of the Fallen Phoenix was named after a pure-blooded phoenix.
Around 1,000 years ago, a pure-blooded phoenix was born. Then, under the attack of many omnipotent, it, unfortunately, pa.s.sed away and then disappeared without a trace.
Everyone questioned whether that real phoenix resurrected or not. Many people also came to find the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes with a “why not try” mentality and sadly, they all left disappointed.
Before long, everyone gave up and no longer thought that the real phoenix left behind a Nirvana Fountain. However, this became an unsolved mystery of Tianzhou.
All because two big suspicious points were never solved. First of all, where is the corpse of the real phoenix? Second of all, why isn’t there the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes?
When a real phoenix dies, it will for sure leave behind a corpse. If it is alive, it will for sure create a Nirvana Fountain. Or else there would be no way for the phoenix to resurrect.
People have also considered the possibility of someone saving it in secret. Quickly, however, this guess was deemed unreliable and denied.
Back then, more than 10 omnipotent were here. They could see everything. How could anyone save it without anyone noticing?
It was obvious that that was unrealistic. Therefore, this became an unsolved mystery.
Ling Xian was pondering over this difficult question.
Ever since he left the Library of Fortune, he came to the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix. Though this land was now considered the w.a.n.g Clan’s domain, the clan didn’t seem to care much about this piece of land and there weren’t a lot of guards.
With his capabilities, he easily blended in.
“I have searched through this place with my soul and I have found nothing.” Ling Xian stood on top of a mountain and his expression revealed much disappointment.
He has been searching for half an hour. Not only did he not find any hints, but he also couldn’t find any trace of anything. However, he had predicted this.
If he could figure out what the code is, then this situation wouldn’t be considered an unsolved puzzle.
“My last clue ends here. It looks like I need to find other ways.”
Ling Xian softly sighed. he had predicted this. Back when he was at the Pavilion of Thunder, that elder had told him that it would be impossible to find anything.
But this was a big deal and it was the only hope he had. Especially since the battle between Heaven’s Favorites will soon start, he needed to be time-efficient and successfully transform his Qi.
Therefore, of course, he had to come and see it for himself before giving up.
Now that everything has proven to be fruitless, he was finally letting it go.
However, there was no way he would give up on his Qi. Even if there is no hope, he had to find a way.
“I will find an alternative method. I believe there is hope,” Ling Xian mumbled. Then, he moved to leave the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix.
Don’t forget. He had friction against the most valued descendent of the w.a.n.g Clan. To be found by them will bring him some trouble.
Therefore, Ling Xian planned on leaving and not staying there. As for the Lake of the Resting Soul… he will need to try and find that at a later time.
What could he do? Even if he didn’t b.u.t.t heads with w.a.n.g Jun, the w.a.n.g Clan wouldn’t just hand over the Lake of the Resting Soul.
After all, that is a valuable treasure for the soul!
Therefore, Ling Xian could only give up for now. However, as he was leaving the Valley, he ran into two familiar faces.
One of them had a busty body with delicate features. A black robe tightly wrapped around her, making her look tasteful and difficult to read.
The other had a perfect complexion and pearly eyes. She wore a long white dress that made her appear sage-like and out of the ordinary.
At once, Ling Xian froze where he stood.
These two women were no other than Gong Suo Xin and Huang Jiu Ge!
The two women froze too after seeing Ling Xian. Then, joy exploded out of their beautiful eyes.
These three didn’t even know where to begin. At once, they could only stare at each other in silence.
Only after a long while was Ling Xian able to recollect himself and break the silence.
“You… how did you two find each other? And why are you in Tianzhou?”
Hearing this, Gong Suo Xin rolled her eyes and grinned, “What, so only you are allowed to visit but the two of us aren’t?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He merely didn’t know how Gong Suo Xin and Huang Jiu Ge, two people who were not connected in any way, find their way to each other.
“I also find it weird that I would run into you here.” Gong Suo Xin stared at Ling Xian. There was some happiness and some blame.
Huang Jiu Ge felt the same.
Back then, when Ling Xian had died, she followed Gong Suo Xin to the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the news of Ling Xian’s revival was one they all heard of.
They waited for days and nights and he never showed. They naturally blamed him a little.
“About that…”
Noticing the two women’s expressions, Ling Xian chuckled and changed the subject, “This is the w.a.n.g Clan’s land, let’s chat elsewhere.”
“What are you afraid of?”
Gong Suo Xin pouted, “Could it be that I cannot talk on my own land?”
“Your land?”
Ling Xian was a little stunned. He remembered how much hatred she expressed when talking about the w.a.n.g Clan, and he suddenly understood.
“That’s right. Though I do not want to admit it, I am part of the w.a.n.g Clan.” Gong Suo Xin softly sighed, her gaze was cold.
This confirmed Ling Xian’s guess that Gong Suo Xin and the w.a.n.g Clan are rivals.
“Then tell me here, why are you two together and why are you two here?” Ling Xian vocalized his curiosity.
“I’ll tell you.”
Huang Jiu Ge said softly, “After your death, I didn’t want to return to the 36 islands. Sister Gong invited me to follow her so I accompanied her to the Qin Dynasty. As for why we are here… Sister Gong can tell you.”
Hearing this, Gong Suo Xin played with her bangs and made a statement at ease.
“Easy. Since you have already guessed that the w.a.n.g Clan and I do not get along, then you should’ve guessed that I am here for revenge.”
Ling Xian didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at this.
Back in the City of Qing, when he first met her, she was at the foundational level. A decade ago, when she rushed over to save him, she was at the foundational level. Today, she remained at the foundational level.
The w.a.n.g Clan would knock this level of capability out by simply breathing. How can she avenge anything?
Therefore, Ling Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I understand how you are feeling. But you should know your limitations.”
“I left the w.a.n.g Clan at the age of 12. I have endured for so many years, how can I keep on enduring?”
Gong Suo Xin’s eyes were welling up. Then, she smiled. “I have dared to come means I have the confidence.”
“Confidence…”
Ling Xian frowned, “What about Jiu Ge? You dragged her along to swim in this muddy water with you?”
“That’s not true. There are two reasons why I brought her.”
Gong Suo Xin giggled. “First of all, as you know, my cultivation level is low and it is dangerous to travel solo. Of course, I need someone here to protect me.”
Pausing, her lips then parted and she made a statement that petrified Ling Xian.
“Second of all, I am going to give Jiu Ge a great fortune. If it goes well, she may become a real phoenix.”
