Chapter 1252 - 1251: Primordial Saint Sect Disciples Should Be Happy
The bell tolls softly, faintly discernible, ringing within Lu Zheng’s sea of consciousness, causing his true spirit to ripple, as though about to break free.
"Soul-Lowering Bell?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, then shouted aloud.
"Golden Palace, stabilize!"
A miniature golden palace appeared above his sea of consciousness, emitting radiant beams of golden light, securely anchoring his divine soul within.
The exclusive secret of the Jinhua Sect, the "Nine Heavens Golden Palace True God Transformation Technique," is one of the top-notch divine soul techniques of the era. Since learning it, Lu Zheng has never been subjected to divine soul secret techniques.
"Huh?"
A surprised query echoed from the mountain gate of the Primordial Saint Sect.
Then, another bell toll resounded.
However, this toll was unprincipled, not aimed at Lu Zheng, but at those behind him.
"Golden Palace Heart Sword, cut!"
Three strikes of the Golden Palace Heart Sword were unleashed in succession, yet they couldn’t sever the sound of the bell tolling.
Nonetheless, Lu Zheng wasn’t worried at all about whether they could withstand it because just as the bell toll echoed in their ears, aiming straight for their divine souls...
A high-pitched, resounding phoenix cry suddenly erupted within everyone’s divine soul.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream echoing in the mountain gate of the Primordial Saint Sect, the bell toll instantly vanished.
"Phoenix cry! Fire Phoenix! Impossible!"
Saintess Qingxin, Saintess Ming Ling, and Saintess Yue Zhen were all taken aback, looking around with disbelief in their eyes.
And since Si Lingxi had already intervened, she no longer concealed herself.
A wisp of Phoenix Divine Fire swiftly emerged, passing through the Peach Blossom Evil, reaching the top of the large web.
In just an instant, the entire web was enveloped by the Phoenix Divine Fire, and within a breath, it turned into a wisp of light smoke, disappearing without a trace.
"Pfft!"
Saintess Ming Ling, who was connected in spirit with the large web, spat out a mouthful of blood from her heart, her figure hurriedly retreating, her eyes filled with shock and fear as she looked at Si Lingxi.
"You... you are..."
However, before Saintess Ming Ling could finish speaking, she saw a flash of red light, and the next moment, she lost consciousness.
In the eyes of others, however, a wisp of golden-red flame suddenly burst from Saintess Ming Ling’s body, engulfing her in an instant.
The Phoenix Divine Fire incinerates all things, tangible and intangible, in the heavens and the earth.
Saintess Ming Ling, her heart and soul struck with fear, did not resist at all and was directly burned into nothingness.
"Buzz!"
While operating the Innate Cloud Qi, Lu Zheng only felt the Mind Jade Seal in his mind tremble, the Light of Fortune transforming into a small stream, continually flowing into the Jade Seal.
The onlookers, especially the members of the Primordial Saint Sect, were all stunned.
Saintess Ming Ling was one of the few saintesses of the Primordial Saint Sect, having experienced multiple divine descents, her dao practice profound, one of the sect’s top combat powers.
And in an instant, she was burned to death?
Who was the other party?
Ordinary disciples were clueless, but the upper echelons of the Primordial Saint Sect were no fools.
"Phoenix Palace Master?"
Saintess Qingxin’s eyes were filled with terror and disbelief as she looked at Si Lingxi. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t comprehend how just a sect power struggle within the Primordial Saint Sect could attract such a great power to intervene.
The next moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the mountain gate of the Primordial Saint Sect, transforming into a white stream of light, swiftly fleeing in the opposite direction of the gathered crowd.
This white light, swift as the pursuit of stars and moon, even exuded a hint of blood qi, clearly employing blood essence to forcibly accelerate.
But the next moment, right in the path of the white light’s advance, a Fire Phoenix engulfed in fiery flames suddenly appeared.
The Fire Phoenix appeared almost real, spreading its wings, raising its head to let out a loud phoenix cry, then swooped towards the white light with wings closing together.
No matter how the white light dodged left or right, or even veered downward, it couldn’t evade the Fire Phoenix’s all-consuming swoop.
"Ah!!!"
A miserable scream rang out, the white light dispersed, revealing a middle-aged man in a white cloud-patterned Daoist Robe.
However, at this moment, his body was engulfed by the Phoenix Divine Fire, no matter how he cast spells to dispel it, the fire penetrated him like a consuming maggot, causing him to emit screams of agony.
"Phoenix Palace Master, spare me! I am not a disciple of the Primordial Saint Sect!"
Master Yanxia, despite being the leader of a sect and not weak in dao practice, surprisingly still had the strength to speak.
Yet Si Lingxi had no intention of responding, the Phoenix Divine Fire suddenly flared with intensity, a golden thread piercing through, directly penetrating his body’s meridians, then igniting in his sea of consciousness.
"Ah!!!"
Master Yanxia, ultimately lacking in foundation, was burnt by the Phoenix Divine Fire, his divine soul unstable, instantly dissipating.
Then, within a breath, the Phoenix Divine Fire spread throughout his body, transforming him into a human-shaped torch.
"Boom!"
The divine fire exploded fiercely, then abruptly contracted inward, the flames vanishing, leaving nothing of Master Yanxia’s figure.
He had entirely transformed into a wisp of light smoke, dissipating with the wind.
The Light of Fortune, which had just flown into the Jade Seal from the death of Saintess Ming Ling, quickly reappeared, flowing into the Jade Seal once more.
On the other side, with the Soul-Lowering Bell no longer restraining, Lu Zheng looked at Saintess Qingxin, chuckled, and spread his five fingers, transforming the Innate Cloud Qi into a large white cloud hand, reaching towards Saintess Qingxin.
Seeing Saintess Ming Ling and Master Yanxia die so easily, Saintess Qingxin had no lingering hope, only hatred and resentment as she looked at Du Yueyao.
Du Yueyao couldn’t help but shrink her neck, "Why are you looking at me? If you have the ability, go find Sister Lingxi."
Saintess Qingxin’s eyes were filled with rage, she roared fiercely, "You little witch, how dare you..."
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Saintess Qingxin was slapped into the air by Lu Zheng’s large white cloud hand.
"If you can’t speak properly, say less." Lu Zheng said lightly, "She is your Primordial Saint Sect’s saintess, having received the Dream Transmission Technique from the Upper Realm Su Girl, bringing the latest and most complete ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method.’"
"Now she’s accepted the Phoenix Palace Master as her sister, providing the backing and confidence to continue standing in the Southern Border after the internal struggle, I think the entire Primordial Saint Sect should be happy."
"Huh?"
In the depths of grief, terror, dread, and despair, the members of the Primordial Saint Sect suddenly froze and felt that what Lu Zheng said...
Seemed quite reasonable!
We’re just ordinary disciples of the Primordial Saint Sect, what do the loves, hates, grievances, and development paths of the saintesses have to do with us?
If there’s a saintess who received the Dream Transmission Technique from the Upper Realm Su Nu’s Ancestor leading us, with the mighty Phoenix Mountain as a backer, the rise of the Primordial Saint Sect seems within reach!
As disciples of the Primordial Saint Sect, we could walk with our heads held high!
At this moment, not to mention the ordinary disciples within the mountain gate of the Primordial Saint Sect, even the sacrificial priests trapped in the Innate Cloud Qi had a few whose eyes started to waver.
"Of course..."
Lu Zheng looked at Saintess Qingxin, "A pseudo-saintess who colludes with outsiders and betrays the sect doesn’t count..."
"You’re the pseudo-saintess, you..."
"Boom!"
Above Saintess Qingxin’s head, a Fire Phoenix suddenly spread its wings.
