80 Chapter 80 Transforming into the Lightning Phoenix (2/2)

A thought flashed in his mind as his wings flapped once more, charging swiftly towards the middle portion of Demon Corpse Mountain.

Just as he was getting close, he felt a strong mental energy disturbing his spiritual control. His consciousness nearly blanked out and his Lightning Phoenix form nearly scattered.

In the next moment Zong Shou scoffed coldly, a determined will exploded out from deep within his soul, colliding with this mental energy with no signs of losing out, chasing it out of his consciousness.

He knew that this was the remaining will left by that different race expert, and was also the reason why all the Xiantian and Out of Body Realm experts didn't dare to come close.

Zong Shou didn't hesitate at all, his body spreading out as he charged right into the Demon Corpse Mountain.

He flew around the area before finding tracks of Gong Xinran and the others. His heart sank deeper and deeper.

Along the way he didn't see any tracks of beasts, but he picked up several blood stains along the way.

Dripping onto the ground like stars, the glow was a fresh and evil red.

”This blood still feels warm, it shouldn't have been left long ago…”

Flapping his wings once more, his body flew around this giant mountain easily. In the next moment, a few shadows appeared in front of him. He was deeply astonished by what was happening as he looked on with eyes formed from soul power.

Below, Gong Xinran, filled with life, extroverted and optimistic, was pinned onto an evil-looking peach tree by a bright sword. Her face was ashen white, only her chest was rising up and down. Her eyes, that should have been clear and bright, were filled with a deathly aura.

Her eyes didn't looked pained, there wasn't any fear or despair, only heartbreak. She looked forwards, her heart totally dead.

Beside the tree stood several people... Gao Yi and also the six Mythic Masters. The former had a strange smile, playing with an item in his hand. The other looked on with either disdain, pity, or mocking expressions.

The lightning glow around Zong Shou's body exploded out, his wings spreading once more as he charged down. Just as he was about to get close he saw Gao Yi suddenly wave his hand, smacking her face loudly, while also laughing, ”Do you regret? Do you think that I, Gao Yi, am heartless? Do you know that I spent two full years on you for this thing? Two years just to spend with an ugly brat and make you happy. Do you know how tired I am?”

Zong Shou's eyes sharpened once more. Rage rose within him, but just as he was about to charge down he felt unbelievably exhausted. A large amount of the surrounding lightning glow had dissipated, and became really dim.

Luckily, at this moment the last bit of sunlight in the sky had disappeared. Although there was astral wind blowing all around, it was unable to get close to him. However, he still felt weak and without strength, and could only silently land on a tree branch.

He did all he could to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to recover some strength.

Who knows if it because he was careful or because this Demon Corpse Mountain had the remnant will of that other race expert of the Desolate Era, but Gao Yi didn't notice anything, shaking his head, ”If you want to hate, hate yourself! You know that you have no looks and no talent, why did you think I would like you? What made you think you could marry into the Gao Family, and be the future lady of my Family?”

Gong Xinran's head looked towards the side, her hair scattered and messy, covering her ashen-white face so that one couldn't see what expression she had.

It seemed like Gao Yi felt really uninterested and bored as he shook his head, ”Forget it, after all I have spent two years with you, I can't go too far! I have already obtained this collection of martial secrets personally written by San Sheng. I have no reason to make things tough for you!”

When Zong Shou heard his words, only then did he notice that in his hand was a book made up of gold silk, around four fingers thick and looking really heavy.

After Gao Yi laughed, just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something, stopping in his tracks, ”I nearly forgot! I swore to you that the two of us would be together everyday in life, and will not part even in death…”
