Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Wife

Chapter 1178 - Facing Danger Part 2

"Is… is that a God-king realm demon beast?"

Everyone was startled.

It was in their wildest dreams that Mu Ru Yue possessed a God-king realm demon beast! It wasn't a mystery why she dared to come here by herself. With just this demon beast, it was far superior to any other members of Region Head Manor.

Flame Phoenix pridefully raised her chin as she looked coldly at the black-coloured dragon before her. Her crimson red eyes were filled with contempt.

"You… you are…"

The enormous black-coloured dragon looked at Fire Phoenix that was cladded in flames in astonishment. It took quite a while before it remembered her identity. Its original sinister cold voice became sharp, obviously carrying dread with it.

"Impossible! How can you be Fire Phoenix that followed by Lord Wu Wang's side that year?"

'Everyone knows who Wu Wang was in that era.

'He was that expert that was previously above everyone. Even every one of his demon beasts was exceptionally valiant! But why?! Why has Scorching Flame Phoenix appeared at this place?

'Moreover, why is she calling this woman her master?'

The enormous black-coloured dragon gasped. There was an indescribable shock in its heart…

"Wu Wang?"

Lin Tian furrowed his brows tightly. He stared at Mu Ru Yue's flawless face and commented, "Wu Wang was the top expert a thousand years ago! Even though I have not seen him, I could still see traces of him in some ancient books. He previously was a man that killed countless people for his wife due to being in rage for his woman but he still had fallen in the end! But why is Lord Wu Wang's demon beast recognising her as her master? What was her relationship with Wu Wang?"

The crowd's heart shuddered with the curiosity in their eyes intensifying.

But what was more was their astonishment.

They originally thought it was already shocking enough that she possessed a God-king demon beast. But they didn't expect that demon beast to be one that had stayed by Wu Wang's side in the past. It could be said that once the Fire Phoenix recovered her might from a thousand years ago, she would certainly be matchless powerful!

"H-how is this possible?"

Yin Hua's complexion turned gravely pale as he muttered.

This outcome had made him despair…

Roar!

The enormous black-coloured dragon released an alarming roar. It shrieked, "So what if you are the Scorching Flame Phoenix? Your might had already fallen to a might similar to mine. This woman also isn't Wu Wang!"

The enormous black-coloured dragon was really scared. It had previously seen Wu Wang's massacres. It had offended his demon beast today. If that man was still around, he would surely kill him!

Therefore, the enormous black-coloured dragon crazed due to its intense dread. He only had a thought now. It was to kill all these people.

"Master, you can step back and pass it to me. We will have dragon meat to eat today."

The Fire Phoenix smiled sinisterly. She gradually raised her hand. Instantly, a red-coloured flame sword appeared before her.

She extended her hand to grab onto the sword. With a flash of her body, she dashed toward the enormous black-coloured dragon.

"Scram!"

The enormous black-coloured dragon swept its dragon's tail toward Fire Phoenix. Fire Phoenix dodged to aside. But the sword in her hand still slashed down without any hesitation.

Slit!

It pierced into the dragon's flesh.

Roar!

The enormous black dragon roared out in pain. Its expression became sinister.

Bang!

Its tail landed on Fire Phoenix's body, sending her flying for a few metres.

Beating a snake seven inch was the same when dealing with a dragon!

Fire Phoenix wiped away the remnants of blood from the corner of her mouth. She then dashed toward the black-coloured dragon once again, quickly being in a tangle again…

Hiss!

The crowd gasped.

They could tell Fire Phoenix was at the God-king realm. But they didn't expect she would have a tyrannical power similar to a God-king High realm! More importantly, she could hurt such an enormous beast like the enormous black-coloured dragon!

Glimmers flickered in Lin Yun's eyes. He caressed his chin with his finger and said, "This phoenix is an outstanding demon beast. If I can get in my possession, then my Lin family's influential power will be stronger…"

But he was attracted by the power before him after he commented. He looked at the battle between the Fire Phoenix and enormous black-coloured dragon without blinking.

In comparison to the rest, Yin Hua had mixed feelings at this moment.

He wished Mu Ru Yue and Fire Phoenix would be killed by the dragon but he also wished that the phoenix would be able to kill the enormous black-coloured dragon. They wouldn't be able to leave this place if the enormous black-coloured dragon lived after all.

'Nonetheless, if Mu Ru Yue doesn't die, how can it appease the anger in my heart?'

Boom!

When he was in deep thoughts, an enormous body crashed heavily on the ground. Dust and sand were stirred up.

Blood flowed out from the body, quickly spreading out from the cracks on the ground. The air was filled with an unpleasant bloody stench…

"Master."

Fire Phoenix was in a tattered state. Her red light muslin was in a sorry state, exposing her captivating delicate body. But the blood at the corner of her mouth was eye-piercing, blossoming on her devastatingly beautiful face.

"This black dragon's entire body are treasures. His dragon blood and horn can be used to refine pills. Its dragon gem can be consumed by Xiao Bai. Its dragon skin can be used as armour. Its meat is not only a delicacy but it can also help increase its consumer's cultivation and strengthen their body…"

Mu Ru Yue raised her brows slightly, raising her hand to keep the enormous black dragon. She said calmly, "Let's go."

There wasn't time to enjoy dragon meat at this place so they could only have it after leaving this place…

"Fire Phoenix, you may return."

"Understood, Master!"

Fire Phoenix replied respectfully. Following that, she disappeared from the crowd's sight…

The squad continued to advance. Nobody dared to harass Mu Ru Yue this time though. Even Yin Hua, who tried to set her up, was rarely silent.

But his eyes were filled with a sinister glow…

"Region Head," Qiu Mei smiled alluringly as she continued, "When I first saw you, I know you surely won't be simple. But I didn't know that I have difficulty understanding you the more we interact. I don't know how many more trump cards you have…"

Mu Ru Yue chuckled but she didn't remark on that.

She raised her head to see the end of the pathway. A faint glow was emitted from her eyes…

To her, what was most important was that she reunites with Ye Wu Chen after this expedition.

Golden stairs appeared before everyone after they walked to the end.

However, those stairs were giving off a black, hazy mist making people stopped advancing upon seeing that…

"This…" Lin Tian frowned deeply. He picked up a rock and tossed it at the mist. Instantaneously, the rock turned black within the mist gradually disappearing from the crowd's eyes…

"It is dark energy! It was rumoured that any living thing that gets in contact with it will die without a doubt! We should find an alternative route."

Wen Hao frowned. There wasn't any way other than to seek alternatives…

When the crowd turned to leave, the black mist moved.

Swish!

It started permeating toward them…

"Quickly run!"

The crowd's expression changed drastically. They turned around to run toward the direction where they came from.

Yet, the instant Mu Ru Yue was leaving that place a hand pushed from her front pushing her into the black mist. Waves of laughter were heard following that…

Momentarily, Wen Hao and Qiu Me looked back. They then saw Yin Hua pushed Mu Ru Yue into the black mists. Their expressions turned unpleasant.

"Yin Hua, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Yin Hua snorted as he continued, "I am saving your lives! I had read about the dark energy in an ancient book. It mentioned that this kind of mist can move once it feels a person's aura! It will continue pursuing us unless it devours a person. We must sacrifice a person to keep our lives!"

"Why don't you sacrifice yourself then?"

Qiu Mei's complexion turned ashen as she asked that.

It could be imagined how much anger was burning within her heart now!

It had to be known that Mu Ru Yue was too important to Nanyang Region. Even a hundred Yin Hua wouldn't match up to her. Yet, such a talent had been killed by Yin Hua due to selfishness. How could she not rage?

"Stop being a hypocrite!" Yin Hua chuckled with disdain as he said, "Moreover, even if all of you were to die, how noble of a status Young Master Lin holds? He certainly mustn't die! The Region Head must feel honoured to die for us. Didn't the academy send her here to be killed anyway? Hahaha!"

'That fella has finally died!'

An unprecedented elation was felt in Yin Hua's eyes. Glints were constantly given off in his eyes. He smirked and gloated, "Who called her to overstep her position in coming with us to explore?! She doesn't have anyone to blame for her death!"

Qiu Mei clenched her fists tightly. Her body shuddered from anger. The smile on her alluring face faded.

"Yin Hua, do you know what on earth you are doing? The tomb is littered with danger. Do you think we can explore the entire tomb without her? Don't you forget who saved us when we met with danger previously! If it wasn't for her, you will have already become the faeces of the enormous black dragon. Do you think you will still be able to survive enough to kill her then?"

"I didn't beg for her to save me." Yin Hua continued to rebuke, "Moreover, she also wasn't trying to save me. She was just trying to save herself. Most importantly, she kept the entire black dragon for herself, not sharing it with her. Therefore, she deserves to die! Who called her to be greedy?!"

"You…"

Anger was painted all over Qiu Mei's face. She suddenly laughed. Her brazen laughs were filled with mockery as she ridiculed, "Why should she share the enormous black dragon with you when it was killed by her demon beast? Have you contributed to killing the dragon? Yin Hua, I knew you were sinister and cunning since long ago but I didn't expect you to be an ingrate! I should have let the Region Head kill you previously!"

Just when Yin Hua wanted to continue, he heard Lin Tian's cold and grave voice.

"Enough!" He looked coldly at Yin Hua as he continued, "Her death is negligible but you have also made that phoenix disappear as well!"

Yin Hua's body shuddered as he called out, "Young Master Lin…"

"Let's continue to set out."

Lin Tian creased his brows tightly. It was obvious he was slightly displeased by Yin Hua's action.

'That woman is negligible so it doesn't matter if she dies or not. But what makes me pity is that God-king High realm demon beast…

'Sadly, I can only be carried away wishful thinking now.'
