At first, Li Haoran was resistant to Su Yiren. He thought, as a man, how could he live off a woman? He wanted to be independent like his senior brother Lu Yang.

Later, he found Su Yiren beautiful, kind, gentle, and caring, full of motherly love, which made him want to act like a spoiled child around her.

Now, he saw that every punch and kick from Su Yiren was full of power, beating the phoenix to the point where it couldn’t even get up. He felt that his small body was not as sturdy as the phoenix. For safety reasons, he decided to keep his distance from Su Yiren.

This was what they called staying true to one’s original aspiration.

Li Haoran’s legs were trembling, extinguishing the thought of living off a woman that had just risen in his heart.

He had the heart but not the body.

Walking on the street with a broken arm was one thing, but if their relationship progressed further, he dared not imagine the damage his body would suffer.

Lu Yang seemed to understand Li Haoran’s mental state and patted him on the shoulder: “Every coin has two sides.”

Not to mention Li Haoran, even the county magistrate and the head of the Mo family were terrified when they saw Su Yiren’s terrifying fighting style.

This senior, who looked soft and weak, seemed to become a different person when she started fighting.

They came underground to see if there was anything they could help with. Now they were worried that if they went down to help, Su Yiren might beat them up as well.

“Is this senior from the Seek Tao Sect a body cultivator?”

The two of them thought Su Yiren was a senior elder of the Seek Tao Sect.

“Senior Su is not an elder of our Seek Tao Sect, she is his fiancée.” Meng Jingzhou formally introduced the outstanding young man of Luofeng County, Li Haoran.

The county magistrate and the head of the Mo family showed their respect.

While the people above were having a lively conversation, the disciples of the Jiuyou Sect below were not doing well.

In order to refine the phoenix’s body, destroy Luofeng County, and stir up conflict between the human race and the phoenix race, he had planned for several years, consulted classics, read ancient books, visited seniors, explored ancient sites, and finally learned the method to refine the phoenix’s body.

The phoenix race was a peaceful race and had a good relationship with the human race. If he could stir up conflict under the guise of refining the phoenix’s body and turn it into a war, countless people would die, allowing more people to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

He was just one step away!

Just one step away!

How did a cultivator in the Unity stage suddenly appear?

“Even if you are in the Unity stage, it won’t work!” The disciple of the Jiuyou Sect shouted, completely mad.

Controlling such a huge body was a test of his cultivation and mental strength.

Normally, there would be other disciples of the Jiuyou Sect to help him share the pressure of control, but those people had already been killed by Su Yiren.

The old phoenix ignited a raging fire, crackling, even the space showed signs of distortion. Lu Yang and his group standing at the edge could feel the rolling heat waves coming one after another.

The county magistrate had no choice but to take out a string of golden bells from his storage ring and cover everyone.

Su Yiren stepped on the back of the phoenix, and the phoenix fell with a bang, but the fire did not show any signs of weakening.

The true flame of the phoenix could melt everything, including the soil. This underground cavity was burned out by the true flame. If the true flame was allowed to spread, the entire Luofeng County would be engulfed in a sea of fire!

The true flame of the phoenix and the true flame of the golden dragon were as famous as the Samadhi True Fire, with a high reputation.

“The true flame of the phoenix is still as difficult to deal with as ever when it bursts out.” The Immortal Maiden watched the battle in the spiritual space, recalling the phoenix prodigy she had taught.

The prodigies of the dragon and phoenix races naturally mastered their own race’s unique skills. They were very proficient in using fire, which was very suitable for cooking.

“Is there any way to restrain it?” Lu Yang quickly asked. If there was no way, he would have to summon his senior sister.

“There is a unique acupoint in the middle of the neck of the phoenix, which is the source of the true flame of the phoenix. If you hit that acupoint, it won’t be able to spit out fire.” The Immortal Maiden did not let them down and gave a solution at the critical moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang quickly passed the message to Su Yiren. Su Yiren looked at Lu Yang in surprise, but didn’t think much about it. She just thought that the disciples of the Seek Tao Sect were knowledgeable and had heard about it in class.

After all, his master was the sect master of the Seek Tao Sect.

Su Yiren aimed at the position Lu Yang mentioned and rushed over. The true flame of the phoenix surged towards her like mad. She clenched her right hand into a fist and placed it at her waist, then suddenly exerted force, throwing a punch that completely distorted the space in front of her, preventing the true flame of the phoenix from getting closer to her.

“Die!”

Su Yiren threw another punch, making a sound like a muffled thunder, and hit the neck of the old phoenix. The true flame of the phoenix seemed to have lost its source and gradually disappeared.

“What’s going on?!” The disciple of the Jiuyou Sect was shocked. The true flame of the phoenix was said to melt everything and was indestructible. How could it disappear?

The secret that the Immortal Maiden told Lu Yang was a secret of the phoenix race. Even within the phoenix race, not many knew about it, let alone the disciple of the Jiuyou Sect.

Without the true flame of the phoenix, the old phoenix was no longer a threat. The disciple of the Jiuyou Sect wanted to fight his way out with a desperate spirit, but he was hammered by Su Yiren and couldn’t move.

Su Yiren was also angry. She had been pretending to be a gentle and quiet lady for several days, hoping to leave a good impression on Li Haoran, but it was ruined by him.”Damn Nine Nether Sect!

Die, die, die!

Watching Su Yiren’s earth-shattering punches, one after another, Li Haoran couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.

If those punches landed on him, he reckoned even his soul wouldn’t be left intact.

Finally, Su Yiren threw a punch with the utmost strength and fierceness. The sound echoed through the land, audible throughout the entire Luo Feng County, marking the end of this battle.

She tore open a hole in the phoenix’s corpse, pulled out a disciple of the Nine Nether Sect, and directly probed his mind, only to frown immediately.

During the battle, this disciple had used his spiritual sense far beyond his capacity, resulting in a chaotic mind that revealed nothing.

In other words, this disciple had gone mad.

“Bad luck.” Su Yiren snapped the disciple’s neck, sending him to the Nine Nether.

The underground cavity left by the battle was somewhat difficult to deal with. Su Yiren temporarily used the power of the rules to stabilize the upper space, leaving the rest to the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After all, she was not good at this kind of thing.

“Thank you for your help, senior. Without you, Luo Feng County would have had a hard time escaping this disaster.” The county magistrate thanked her sincerely.

“Don’t thank me just yet. Explain what’s going on with this phoenix bloodstone.”

“Senior, this phoenix bloodstone is really nothing, I just thought it was interesting…” The county magistrate obviously didn’t want to tell the truth.

Lu Yang took out a recording orb: “This contains evidence of the county magistrate breaking into private residences, stealing property, and joining the Nine Nether Sect.”

“Hold on, breaking into private residences and stealing property is one thing, but when did I join the Nine Nether Sect?”

Lu Yang played the recording orb. In the orb, a disciple of the Nine Nether Sect climbed over the wall, followed by the county magistrate and the head of the Mo family. They all went to Meng Jingzhou’s guest room.

The image stopped there.

“Where’s the rest? Where’s the part where we tricked the Nine Nether Sect into revealing their intentions and prepared for battle?” The county magistrate and the head of the Mo family were anxious.

Lu Yang remained expressionless: “The recording orb is broken, it doesn’t show the rest.”

“If the county magistrate is willing to explain the reason, maybe I can fix the recording orb.”

“The disciples of the Seek Tao Sect are indeed as reputed.” The county magistrate said through gritted teeth.
