Chapter 64: Fragmented Law of Fire (2/2)

The worst thing for him though, it was that he was losing his hope that his sect and family would survive this ordeal. Theoretically speaking, there wasn't a single chance that a Mana Perception middle-stage cultivator like Seth, would be able to single-handed handle twenty or more enemies around that power level. Even though most of them were at the Qi Transformation late-stage and peak-stage realm, they would be a huge problem to deal with, if they were together with Mana realm practitioners.

Huo Shihong could only see a dead end out of this situation, on top of it all, his daughter ran behind that demon bastard. He was gritting his teeth in fear and anger, Lilian was putting her life in grave danger on doing that and he could do nothing about it.

It's been almost three hours since Lilian left and Huo Shihong's Mana started to recover slowly. At least he was able to support his body up with the help of his energy. However, it was a comical scene if one saw he trying to move with a single leg, but in truth, it was a pitiful situation for a person with the status that Huo Shihong had.

Yuyin saw her father trying to move and blocked his path.

”Where do you think you're going?!” She seemed to be a natural at berating people.

”Yuyin, your sister has gone to that deadly battlefield, now that I recovered some of my energy I have to go after her!”

”Dad, do not worry, Big Sis is together with Big Brother Seth. She will be fine.”

”Seth, is that the name of that demon?”

”What are you talking about?! Seth is a good person, why are calling him like that? I forbid you to refer about him like that again!” Yuyin pointed a finger at her own father scolding him as if he was a child.

Huo Shihong was speechless again. He ignored her and tried to move past the area she was, but Yuyin kept blocking him.

While they were on their family struggle, from the fire walls nearby, a phoenix made of flames surged.

Chirp!

It flew towards Yuyin and Shihong, making the temperature around them rise, but there wasn't a pressure like Seth felt. The Phoenix Spirit felt their cultivation and state, and opted to not exert any pressure. The phoenix quickly turned into two big eyes made of phoenix flames.

When Huo Shihong noticed that divine presence he hurriedly tried to kneel on the ground but failed miserably, almost falling on his face. Yuyin was keen enough to hold him before he embarrassed himself for his impulsive actions. They were a family of impulsive people. Yuyin was a hundred percent like Huo Shihong, only Lilian was born different, with patience and a good sense of observation.

Huo Yuyin looked at those big eyes with curiosity, while Shihong could only feel respect and reverence.

”Fret not. Whatever were the causes of your worries, they were already resolved. This Venerable One shall show you and appease your anxiousness.” The Phoenix Spirit eyes burned brighter and the flames nearby converged into a mystical screen, showing Huo Shihong how was the current state of the place he was just some hours ago.

Huo Shihong saw that all of his enemies were already dead and he felt even more reverence towards the Phoenix Spirit. On his conception, it was the only possible cause for what has happened.

”Thank you, Venerable Phoenix God. There are no words to describe my gratitude towards you. If there is anything I can do, please order this lowly servant.” Huo Shihong said from the bottom of his heart.

”You are misunderstanding everything. This Venerable One was not the cause of their defeat.”

Huo Shihong couldn't believe what he just heard.

”May I ask who was the one behind that?” He asked in a respectful tone.

”That you'll need to find by yourself. What you need to know right now, is that this Venerable One shall bestow that human girl called Lilian, my inheritance. For that, she will be staying inside this labyrinth for at least an entire year.”

Shihong felt elated by that information, while Yuyin lively started to jump around, she felt happy for her sister even though she didn't really know what was happening at all.

”With your health condition and weak cultivation, there is nothing to be done inside this place. You shall return to your dimension earlier.” After saying those words, the Phoenix Spirit disappeared.

A warm fire enveloped Yuyin and Huo Shihong, teleporting them outside.
