71 Chapter 71 Trip to Blood Valley (1/2)
”Desolate Record 37th page, 4th line, Year of the Starfall: the god bird Lightning Phoenix appeared in the east of the Donglin Cloud Continent! 56th page, 12th line, end of the Desolate Era: the Lightning Phoenix fought the Sparrow Dragon, blood scattered in the West Spiritual Plains.
”Also in the Records of the Cloud Desolate, Year of Yanhuang, Sparrow Dragon sneak attacks and injures the Fire Phoenix. The Fire Phoenix fled thirty thousand miles in defeat, its tracks unknown. In the year of darkness, east of the Cloud Continent, there was a Phoenix cry near the ocean, voice spreading for three thousand miles. Cloud whales going crazy and hurting hundreds of thousands. East Ocean mountains, numerous beasts died...”
Zong Shou spoke frankly and with assurance, while Yin Yang was getting more and more confused. Ancient books didn't have an exact year mark, and could only use what happened that year as a symbol of that year.
The words Zong Shou said were basically recorded in a few ancient books and were talking about ancient history. What did that have to do with him going out alone?
In the next moment, Zong Shou smiled, filled with utmost confidence, ”I heard that the fire Phoenix and the Lightning Phoenix are always together. But during the Yanhuang Year when the Sparrow Dragon injured the fire Phoenix, where was the Lightning Phoenix? Why did it have to find the Sparrow Dragon 300 years ago? When a god beast has children, it will take 1800-2000 years. The Year of the Starfall to the end of the Desolate Era was a nice 1700 years..”
Yin Yang frowned as he thought, slowly guessing what Zong Shou's intention was, his eyes filled with astonishment. Zong Shou's words were like an alien speaking, fuzzy and he couldn't understand.
”After the Desolate Era, the Cloud Continent was split into numerous pieces, splitting up into five continents and numerous islands. The east of the Cloud Continent became the current Donglin Cloud Continent. The mountainous area that was near to the ocean was definitely the Sudian Mountain Range. I was curious, so I looked through many ancient texts, before guessing that the place the Lightning Phoenix laid her egg was in the Blood Valley Demon Corpse Mountain!”
Speaking of which, Zong Shou's face showed a little bit of helplessness, ”That place, with you there, we are unable to enter…”
------
Walking on the streets, Chuxue looked around nervously.
”Young Master, why not go back? Can't I get other people to help you get the Meridian Spirit Grass? It's not like we can't pay. Also that Lightning Phoenix egg, it's your guess, it might not be there...”
Not long ago, using the Dragon Spirit Jade Wall and the Blood Cloud Marrow, she had stepped into the Mythic Master Realm. However, Chuxue didn't have the aura of an expert, looking around in worry.
Zong Shou was expressionless, this was already the eleventh time she grumbled when they went out. Left ear entering, right ear exiting, he acted like he didn't hear her.
It wasn't easy to convince Yin Yang to allow him and Chuxue to travel out of the city. He also used much effort to draw everyone away, so how could he return so easily?
The Meridian Spirit Grass mentioned by Chuxue wasn't much, only that item he definitely couldn't give up.
The two of them had already changed their clothing and disguised themselves. Chuxue's face was slightly yellow, her brows slightly thicker, her eyes smaller. Although she was still beautiful, she was totally different from before.
Zong Shou was similar, wearing the Wind Traveling Spiritual Bone. He decided to go along with it, and his entire person seemed much bigger and stronger, his face also had some slight changes. Because of the Aura Consolidation Art, the both of them looked like normal Martial Warriors.
This close-to-perfect disguise technique was one of the reasons why Yin Yang agreed. Apart from Chuxue's unnatural expression, there wasn't anything suspicious about them. Unless there were Grandmaster-level people who could lock onto one's soul, basically there was no chance anyone could recognize them.
They causally bought some things along the way. The closer they got close to the city gate, the more Chuxue's brow furrowed as she kept looking behind her.
Zong Shou felt amused and too lazy to bother with her, walking casually out of the city gates. Just as he was walking towards the north, Chuxue stood rooted to the ground.
Zong Shou was surprised. Did someone see through their disguise and followed them?
Turning around and looking along Chuxue's point of view, there were two woman galloping over on their horses. The one in front was wearing a fiery red shirt, while the one at the back wore a long green skirt. Their mounts were both Cloud Stepping Foals.
They didn't notice Zong Shou and Chu Xue, directly riding out of the city.
Zong Shou's brow furrowed. ”Who are those two?” Chuxue's expression changing wasn't without reason. These two women were definitely people she knew. Two Xiantian experts naturally attracted attention. The one in red who was so young and only sixteen, all the more she was eye-catching.
”It is Miss Yiren!” Chuxue came back to her senses after a long while, her face at a loss. Seeing Zong Shou not understanding, she explained, ”Young Master, you forgot? Miss Yiren is your fiancée. Eight years ago you met her at Xuan Mountain City...”
Zong Shou's memory instantly jumped back to those thirteen years and he felt enlightened.
