Chapter 641 (2/2)

A burst of flames fiercely appeared out of the forest and raced towards Lin Jing.

The temperature of this flame was extremely high, and even from a distance, Lin Jing already felt the searing heat.

Fortunately, the speed of the fire was relatively slow compared to Lin Jing.

At the moment the flames approached, Lin Jing had already dodged.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred…

The flame, which Lin Jing had initially dodged, suddenly changed direction and continued to chase after Lin Jing.

At the same time, another hot aura emerged from between Lin Jing’s eyebrows.

And then…

A phantom image of the Divine Phoenix emerged from between Lin Jing’s eyebrows and shot out.

The flame, seemingly like a long-lost child reunited with its mother, rushed toward Lin Jing with even greater speed.

No…

It was actually rushing towards the phantom of the Divine Phoenix that had appeared from Lin Jing’s forehead.

Seeing this, Lin Jing no longer tried to avoid it.

Following that.

The flame arrived and collided with the Divine Phoenix phantom.

The phantom then directly engulfed the flame.

After swallowing the flames, the Divine Phoenix phantom immediately solidified, and then it seemed to be reborn from the ashes, its eyes filled with fiery flames.

It then looked towards the summit and, with a flap of its wings, flew straight towards the top of Qinghuang Peak.

Where the Divine Phoenix passed, it left behind a corridor, and the formations on either side of the corridor directly lost their effectiveness.

Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly followed after the Divine Phoenix phantom, charging towards the summit of Qinghuang Peak…

With no formations to block him, the ascent to the top was actually very fast.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Jing had already arrived at the top of the peak.

At that moment, the Divine Phoenix phantom, as if it had exhausted all its energy, returned to being a phantom state and merged back into Lin Jing’s forehead.

This Divine Phoenix phantom was exactly the one sent by Huang Qingling.

It had been a long time since it had last appeared, leading Lin Jing to think it might have run out of energy and dissipated.

Yet unexpectedly, it had reappeared this time.

After coming up, Lin Jing looked at the familiar Qinghuang Palace in front of him with some emotion.

After so many years of absence, he had returned to this place once again.

Then, Lin Jing stepped inside.

Entering Qinghuang Palace, Lin Jing immediately headed toward the largest hall in the center of the palace.

Whether it was Huang Qingling herself, Elder Bai, Elder Yu, or Zhang Yuan, all three were inside that hall.

Lin Jing walked quickly towards it, and it was only in front of the hall that he realized something was amiss.

The doors of the hall were wide open.

Yet despite the wide-open doors, there was no sign of life emanating from within.

Lin Jing hurriedly quickened his pace and walked into the hall.

However, to his surprise, he found that not a single person was inside the hall.
