“Boom!”

Out of the south gate, one of the Patriarchs of the Zhao Family found a jade talisman broken in his hands. The war was still going on over at the south gate. It was normal that one or two powerful warriors would die. The particular Patriarch of the Zhao Family glanced over, not worrying about it too much.

However, when he saw the red string on that Jade Talisman of Life, his eyes became wide open. The Jade Talisman of Life belonged to Zhao Gui. In other words—Zhao Gui was dead!

“Family Patriarch…”

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family trembled. His hands were shaking because of fear. He was the Internal Clan Patriarch of the Zhao Family. Even though he was not born in the same Family strain as Zhao Gui, but Zhao Gui’s death meant great calamity for the Zhao Family.

The Internal Clan Patriarch just thought for a little before he ran towards the Zhao Family Compound. He had to report the news to Zhao Xi and have her to ask Lord Yu to take over the reins.

Tonight, the Zhao Family was going to win. Tomorrow, the Wu Ling County would be under the control of the Zhao Family. Yet, at this critical moment, Zhao Gui had died. Then after tomorrow, whether the Wu Ling County would be under the control of the Zhao Family was not certain. Maybe the Chen or He Family would do something to the Zhao Family. Therefore, this particular Patriarch thought only Lord Yu appearing personally could stabilize the situation and protect the Zhao Family.

The battles at the east and north gate were almost over. The war at the south gate was still on-going violently. The Second Patriarch of the Liu Family had gathered together a group of Internal Clan Patriarchs and warriors of the Liu Family. He had his mind on fighting to his death here tonight. Even though all were wounded, the war could not end in a short time.

Zi Lian and the rest in the sky did not pay any attention to the situation over at the south gate. They all focused on the burnt body in the west yard.

Zhao Gui had stopped rolling over. It looked like he had lost his life now. Lu Ling remained still. She was covered in a black layer. People couldn’t even tell her nose or mouth apart. She looked exactly like a dead body from the appearance.

After Lu Li was smashed into the stone fort. Maybe he was in a coma or dead.

In an alley not far away from there, Liu Yi could not move. She was not so frightened as to be not able to move. She also did not see the strange thing happening to Lu Ling’s body.

Liu Yi had remained still because she felt some psychic power were locked here.

She was the lady of the Liu Family so she had read some books, letting her know some secrets that average people could not know. She knew that only warriors of realm higher than the Eternal Realm could use the psychic power to poke around. Therefore, it meant that there were many Eternal Realm warriors trying to probe around here. Liu Yi dared not to move naturally.

“She is recovering. Her life signs are getting stronger and stronger.”

Zi Lian’s uncle tried to inspect for a bit. Then he said with certainty in a low voice, “The girl has come back to life. After being burned in such a terrifying fire, she can still survive. The girl… is strange!”

Zi Lian did not have the ability to probe using psychic power, but she believed in her uncle. She thought about it and asked, “Uncle, do you think that this girl can be of Heaven or Earth Grade Birth?”

The rest of the golden-armored warriors and her uncle looked at each other. Light flickered in their eyes. Her uncle said in a deep voice, “Can she be of Fire Phoenix Birth?”

“Uncle!”

A trace of firmness emerged in Zi Lian’s eyes. She ordered, “Whether she is or not, you must go down there immediately and bring that girl up.”

“Swish~”

Before Zi Lian’s uncle was able to move, a black shadow shot down the Iron-armored Ship through the sky towards the west yard. The shadow was so fast that many did not even notice before a silver-haired old lady stood next to Lu Ling.

Her uncle smiled bitterly and said, “People of the Palace of Goddess made their moves. So it seems that she is really of Fire Phoenix Birth. We are too slow.”

“Too late.”

Zi Lian was not willing to reconcile to this idea but she sighed. On the other Golden Chariot, Ye Yuhan talked to the powerful warriors by her said. She seemed to have noticed something strange with Lu ling as well. Turning to Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan said, “Zi Lian, how about we work together and snatch this girl of Fire Phoenix Birth? It doesn’t matter which one of us can get her, but we cannot let the people from the Cyan Plains get away so easily.”

“Ha, ha!”

Zi Lian shook her head and said, “That old lady is not just some random person. If I am right, she is second in command of the Palace of Goddess of the Cyan Palace. She has the seventh-rank Bloodline, Ghost Snake. Us combined would not be a match for her.”

“Seventh-rank Bloodline, Ghost Snake?”

A slight trace of terror showed up in Ye Yuhan’s face. She stuck her tongue out and said nothing else.

Even though there was no Bloodline mark showing on that old lady’s neck, Ye Yuhan knew clearly that the powerful warriors could hide their Bloodline marks. Only when these warriors release their Bloodline Skills would the marks be shown. Zi Lian wouldn’t say something without her reasoning. The walking stick in the old lady’s hands transformed to resemble the shape of a snake which was a cause for caution for Zi Lian.

“She really is the Ghost Snake Granny.”

Zi Lian’s uncle nodded. He put on a wry smile and said, “All of us combined cannot compete with her. We should just let the Fire Phoenix Birth alone.”

On the ground, the old lady was standing next to Lu Ling’s darkened body but did not do anything rashly. She looked at Lu Ling quietly, keeping her dim-sighted eyes on Lu Ling’s body the whole time.

“Bang!”

In the south yard, Second Patriarch of the Liu Family was knocked into flying by the Family Patriarchs of the Chen and He Family. The Second Patriarch was already all scratched up. After this, he could not even stand up. The rest of the Liu Family Patriarchs were demoralized soon. Many External Clan Patriarchs that were on the fence immediately started retreating.

All the warriors of the Soul Pond Realm of the Liu Family had met their deaths. The former Overlord of the Wu Ling County was going to be exterminated. Nobody wanted to die. Even though the External Clan Patriarchs had benefited a lot from the Liu Family in recent years, they would have to die with the Liu Family if they were to stay at this moment.

When the mighty tree falls, the crowd of monkeys which it has sheltered will scatter in every direction. Half of the remaining 40 warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family left, at the top of their speed no less. Soon, they were out of the county.

Patriarch Seven and the other warriors who stayed behind looked downcast and hopeless. They did not flee. The four Families would not let them get away so easily. The only option left for them now was to fight to their last breaths.

“Swish!”

Two figures shoot up to the sky from the Zhao Family Compound, Yu Feijia and Yu Hen.

In the arms of Yu Feijia, there was a girl who was in her kind of messy underclothes. It seemed like they had just done something intimate.

The pretty girl did not look well. Tears filled her eyes. She now was informed of the death of Zhao Gui. She was begging Yu Feijia to do something to revenge for her father. Finally, Yu Feijia attended to the matter personally.

After Yu Feijia and Yu Hen shoot up to the sky, a glow lit up in Yu Hen’s hand. Then, a small chariot soon turned into a huge Golden Chariot. Yu Feijia flew into the Golden Chariot together with Zhao Xi with Yu Hen following them. The Golden Chariot glowed and flew towards the Liu Family Compound.

“What?”

When they arrived above the west yard, Yu Feijia looked awful after he threw a few glances.

He had located Zhao Gui’s body. His armor was an Earth Grade Xuan Artifact, so it was not burned away. When Yu Feijia saw Ghost Snake Granny, he had thought that Zhao Gui died in her hands.

Yu Feijia’s eyebrows knitted tightly. He controlled the Golden Chariot to descend a little and asked in a deep voice, “You from the Palace of Goddess. Why are you meddling in the business of the Northern Desert?”

Ghost Snake Granny looked up towards Yu Feijia and coldly said, “I am not interested in the internal conflict you have at the Northern Desert.”

Zhao Xi recognized Zhao Gui’s armor and Zhao Rui’s body. Feeling sad and angered, she said, “You didn’t do this? My father is at the latter stage of the Soul Pond Realm. Who else could kill him apart from you?”

“Shut up. It’s not your place to say anything here.”

Yu Feijia scolded her. Powerful warriors disdained lies. At least on matters like this, Ghost Snake Granny wouldn’t lack the courage to owe up to it. Yu Feijia frowned and asked her, “If you did not do this, then who did?”

Ghost Snake Granny pointed to the girl next to her and said, “This girl did.”

Yu Feijia and Yu Hen stood still in doubt. Zhao Xi clearly was not convinced, but she dared not to intervene again. Yu Feijia looked at Lu Ling for a while and then he noticed the big problem. He murmured in confusion, “She is still alive after being burnt so seriously? How can her wounds heal so fast? It’s not right. Her energy channels are cut off. She has no cultivation experience.”

While he said this, Lu Ling, who was like carbon coke, slowly opened her eyes…
