Chapter 103 – Phoenix Legacy Clan (Next)

Feng Baichuan’s gaze turned to Lan Xueruo’s rear and said, ”This little brother, your face looks very bad and you are being carried by this girl, you should have suffered a very serious injury, right? I am slightly versed in a little bit of medical arts, so perhaps I can help in some way.”

“My name is Yun Che, thank you for the Phoenix Clan Chief’s kind words.” Yun Che on Lan Xueruo’s back politely returned. His voice caused Lan Xueruo’s beautiful eyes to open wide, “You …… you’re awake?”

“Well, I woke up when Elder Sister carried me on her back.” Yun Che said with a smile, and although his face was ugly, his voice was finally no longer so weak. He used the Heavenly Poison Bead to quickly fuse more than thirty medicinal herbs such as the Heavenly Porcupine Grass, Manna Flower, Mountain River Blue, and so on while falling into the air, and melted out a Heaven Recovery Pill at extreme speed before swallowing it into his mouth. The medicinal materials needed to refine the Heaven Returning Dan are extremely harsh in terms of quantity and quality, but the refining environment, cauldron, and refining method are even more stringent to the extreme, even if it is a high level elixir master, the success rate of refining is not more than 30%, but with Xiao Zong Sub-Sect’s huge treasure storehouse and the Heavenly Poison Bead, all these are not a matter.

“Then you …… then you still don’t make a sound, letting me carry you so far.” Lan Xue Ruo’s face was pink, and she was momentarily furious.

“Because I was carried by a girl for the first time in my life, it’s very comfortable. And …… senior sister’s body smells so good.” Speaking here, he originally wanted to lightly sniff the seething aroma of Lan Xue Ruo’s body again, but suddenly his expression was stagnant, and he was stunned there ……

Is it really the …… first time to be carried by a girl?

In this life, it is indeed right ……

But, Cang Yun continent that life …… that girl …… every time to return to her, in the dying with the last ounce of strength to clap that bamboo door, and then fainted in front of that bamboo door, woke up, are lying in that fluffy and warm bed …… Although in a coma, but he seems to be able to clearly feel her with their own frail body carrying a body full of blood of his difficult to walk every step, and accompanied by every step of the point of the tear drop ……

Again and again, perhaps dozens of times, perhaps hundreds of times, the number of times he simply can not count, also did not go to count …… the only thing he can remember, is that even if he can live two lifetimes and two lifetimes, it is impossible to make up for the shortcomings of her. Because heaven, has no longer give him the opportunity.

Out of nowhere, his tightly nestled blue Xueruo slowly turned into that figure that would only appear in his dreams ……

“You! If it wasn’t for your injury, I would have thrown you down!” Lan Xueruo hummed with some anger. Previously, carrying Yun Che on her back, she was calm inside because she thought Yun Che was unconscious. Now that he had woken up, the touch of his body clinging to her and the male scent if anything made her blush a little, and her heartbeat was even a little disorganized.

“Matriarch Feng, can you help us find a place to settle down my friend.” Lan Xueruo said to Feng Baichuan.

“Of course, please follow me.”

This small village was indeed a small village, with just a few dozen humble houses in total. From Feng Baichuan’s mouth, he knew that the entire family, too, only had a population of about two hundred people. In response to the arrival of the two outsiders, Lan Xueruo and Yun Che, the people here were first wary, and then showed kindness one after another. Soon, Lan Xueruo and Yun Che discovered a strange thing at the same time, the people they encountered, their Xuan Force cultivation levels were all at the tenth level of the Primordial Xuan Realm, except for those small children who hadn’t cultivated their Xuan Force, all of them were like this, without exception. It was as if this Xuan realm level 10 was the limit of what they could achieve. However, after entering the Xuan Realm, every time a large realm was crossed, it was accompanied by a bottleneck that was increasingly difficult to break through. However, from the tenth level of the Beginning Xuan Realm to the Entering Xuan Realm, there was no bottleneck to speak of at all, as long as one had accumulated enough Xuan power, one would naturally step into the Entering Xuan Realm.

However, all of the people here stopped at the tenth level of the Beginning Xuan Realm, which really puzzled Yun Che and Lan Xueruo in their hearts.

“Why is there a phoenix’s aura here?”

Jasmine’s voice that suddenly rang out caused Yun Che to be surprised, “Phoenix? The legendary Ancient Divine Beast Phoenix?”

“That’s right!” Jasmine’s voice was slightly permeated with a touch of fatigue, previously transferring part of her Xuan Power to Yun Che, although it was only for a few short seconds, it had caused a certain amount of damage to both her own soul and Yun Che’s body, “Although it’s very weak, it is indeed the phoenix’s aura without a doubt. It’s really strange …… Could it be that the phoenix had even descended to this lower realm in the first place?”

The words lowly realm …… caused Yun Che’s heart to flutter, and he suddenly had a terrifying suspicion about Jasmine’s identity.

“And that flame mark on their foreheads is the mark that carries the Phoenix bloodline! Only, the color of this mark is completely different from what this princess knows. In addition, the phoenix bloodline mark is usually something that can be hidden down, and will only forcefully appear when using the phoenix inflammation power, but the people here are all topped with the phoenix mark, as if they can’t be hidden at all, in short, it’s very strange!”

Feng Baichuan brought Lan Xueruo and Yun Che to a clean hut, “Both of you, please rest well here. We’re just a small clan that avoids the world, everything can’t be compared to the outside world, so we can only slow down the two of you.”

Lan Xueruo carefully placed Yun Che on the bed, a sigh of relief sneaking through her heart, and turned around, “You are too polite, Phoenix Patriarch, we are already very grateful to have such a place.”

“You are the guardian family of the Phoenix Legacy Land?”

Yun Che suddenly asked coldly at this time.

Feng Baichuan’s face, which had been calm and refined, froze all of a sudden, and his pupils visibly contracted by a few points. His eyes rapidly changed, thinking about how to deny and evade, but, after a few short breaths, his eyes returned to calm, but he laughed in a self-deprecating manner, “Guardian Family? We don’t deserve such a title, we are nothing more than a humble family that carries sins and curses and stays away from the earthly world to atone for our sins from generation to generation. Although I do not know where you know that we are related to the phoenix, but it seems …… that you have arrived at this place, and indeed you also want to get the so called ‘treasure’ that we are guarding?”

“Phoenix? The Divine Phoenix Empire’s belief divine beast?” Lan Xueruo looked at Yun Che and Feng Baichuan with a face full of astonishment, her brain slightly confused for a moment.

“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Yun Che lifted his breath and tried to sit up, but his entire body was weak, and the slightest movement caused severe pain in his wounds, so he had no choice but to give up and lie there, “I would think that you might be the guardian family of the Phoenix Legacy Land because of the mark on your foreheads. I have come into contact with many rumors about the phoenix bloodline, and that shaped mark on your foreheads is exactly the same as the phoenix bloodline mark I know, only the colors are a bit different. When my senior sister and I came here, we just unintentionally fell here from a high altitude and were still seriously injured, there was absolutely nothing else to it.”

Yun Che’s injuries caused Feng Baichuan to completely believe his words, after all, no one would be foolish enough to come with serious injuries to covet their “treasures”. Yun Che’s words caused him to be stunned for a while, and then he once again laughed self-deprecatingly, “The Phoenix Seal …… is a different color …… Yes, it is a different color. Originally a mark of honor that was a symbol of strength and bloodline, it has now become a sad mark of curse… Our ancestors made a big mistake, so how could our descendants be innocent!?”

Feng Baichuan’s words were filled with a thick pathos, as if Yun Che’s words had completely poked at his inner pain.

The Mark of the Curse? Yun Che’s heart throbbed. How could a bloodline imprint, become a Seal of Curse? Wait, could it be that all of their Xuan Power could only stop at the tenth level of the Primordial Xuan Realm because of the “Cursed Seal” that Feng Baichuan had said?

“I believe that you guys are not evil, because I can’t find any feeling of being evil from you guys. You guys also saved my two children, so it’s only right for me to repay you any way I can. It’s just ……” Feng Baichuan gave a long sigh, “Our family is currently suffering from a disaster, and if you guys continue to stay here, the disaster might reach you as well. So, recuperate your injuries here, and it’s best if you can recuperate your injuries before those evil people come here again, and then leave this place. Because the next time those evil people come again, perhaps …… it will be the end of the world.”

Being carried over this way, he knew what had happened before from the conversation between Lan Xueluo and the two children. He said in disbelief, “Feng Clan Chief, there is one thing I don’t understand. Your clan should have existed here for many years, right? It was safe and sound for so many years before, so why would it be targeted by a mercenary group this time.”

Feng Baichuan glanced out of the window and calmly said, “You are right, our clan, which has existed for many, many years, also flourished for a while, but because of a heavenly condemnation crime, it declined extremely fast, and had to choose to avoid the world and survive, and to this day, it is already in this humble form, not even as good as a human’s dilapidated small village. But all these years, there has been no one to harass us. Because, this place is known as the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, all kinds of Xuan Beasts are rampant, from the lowly berserk sub-Xuan Beasts, to the terrifying Earth Xuan Beasts, and even, legend has it that there are three terrifying Heavenly Xuan Beasts inhabiting the mountain range. This is the paradise of the Xuan Beasts, they exclude humans from stepping into this place, thus once a human enters, they will be attacked by their group. At the same time, the deeper you go, the higher the level of the Xuan Beasts is.”

“And this place is the center of the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Some humans might move around the edges of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in order to obtain the Xuan Dan of the Xuan Beasts, but other than those supreme powerhouses, there would simply be no one who would have the guts and ability to reach this area, and those supreme powerhouses who do have the ability wouldn’t bother coming to this kind of place either.”

“But, there doesn’t seem to be any Xuan Beasts in this neighborhood?” Yun Che frowned, and as soon as he finished speaking, he came to a realization, “Could it be because of the …… Phoenix’s aura?”

“That’s right.” Feng Baichuan nodded, “I won’t hide it from you, the rear of this place is a phoenix remnant that we have been guarding for generations, and the aura left behind by the phoenix has survived. Although the breath is weak, but it does not dissipate all year round, the pressure of the ancient divine beast, who can withstand the Xuan Beasts in this world? Who dares to approach?”

“I see.”

Yun Che slowly nodded his head, a slight movement appearing on his face. Here, there actually really was a Phoenix’s Legacy Land. Moreover, the Phoenix’s Breath did not dissipate all year round, the best explanation for this was that in this Phoenix’s Remnant Land, a certain thing left behind by the phoenix existed!

Something left behind by an ancient divine beast ah!

Just by thinking about this alone, the blood in Yun Che’s entire body began to boil a little …… One could imagine what a huge sensation would be caused if the news of the existence of a Phoenix’s Legacy Land here were to spread out.

“Since that’s the case, how did those evil people who wanted to seize your guardian objects get in?” Yun Che questioned. It was absolutely impossible for an ordinary mercenary group to have the ability to fight against Spirit Xuan Beasts, let alone Earth Xuan Beasts, not to mention a hundred or so people, even if the scale was expanded by ten times, if they encountered a single Earth Xuan Beast, the entire army would definitely be wiped out.

If one said that they hadn’t encountered any Spirit Xuan Beasts or Earth Xuan Beasts along the way, with the density of Xuan Beasts in this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it would be even more impossible.

“I don’t know.” Feng Baichuan shook his head, “I want to know how they got in here more than anyone else. Perhaps, this is the fate we deserve.”

Could it be that they also used flying Xuan Beasts that could fly to distant heights? Yun Che mused, but immediately, he rejected this conjecture. This Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range had an extremely large number of Xuan Beasts, which inevitably included a large number of flying Xuan Beasts, and even if one were to harness an ordinary flying Xuan Beast, it would simply be impossible to enter. Such as the Storm Eagle and the Giant Snow Eagle, this kind of Xuan Beasts that can reach thousands of meters or even 10,000 meters in the air can be done, but because of their terrifying air handling ability, the number of Xuan Beasts that can be handled by human beings is really too few and far between. Even the strongest clan in Crescent City like the Xiao Sect Sub-Sect only has one, so how can it be owned by an ordinary mercenary group like this.
