Chapter 99 The Phoenix Stone Statue in the Dungeon
An hour later.
The center of the ruins.
Mei Xiaohan and Gu Tiansheng are in conflict with each other.
"Gu Tiansheng...I thought you still had some conscience...I didn't expect that five elders and an assassin were dispatched to assassinate Ye Qingchen!"
Mei Xiaohan said in a dark voice: "Aren't you afraid of provoking Cangming Jiange and the royal family?"
"If we let Ye Qingchen grow up, can we be better off?!"
Gu Tiansheng responded equally coldly: "If you were on my side, you would definitely make the same choice!"
"Fuck your mother!"
Mei Xiaohan cursed angrily.
"If we don't agree with each other, there's nothing left to say between you and me!"
Gu Tiansheng snorted coldly, his eyes turned to the corpses on the ground not far away, and his face slowly darkened.
From the broken and scattered pieces of clothing, he could vaguely identify the bodies of He Hu and others!
Only beings like the Hidden Master can kill them!
But at that time, they repeatedly confirmed that only the Great Elder was guarding Ye Qingchen.
There is no way there is a hermit guarding you in secret!
Moreover, if there is really a hidden master guarding him secretly, the great elder of Xuanyu Academy will definitely not die!
"Who took action? Is it the people from Cangming Sword Pavilion?"
Gu Tiansheng frowned tightly.
After a while, he rejected the idea in his mind.
If they were really from Cangming Jiange, why would they need to hide and protect them in secret?
"No matter what, we must first confirm whether Ye Qingchen is dead or not!"
Gu Tiansheng raised his eyes and looked at the standing stone wall.
Just now, they and the people from Xuanyu Academy searched this place and found the body of their great elder and the bodies of He Hu and others on their side.
But only the bodies of Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan were not found!
Now, he has set his sights on this stone wall.
It's strange enough that this stone wall is still standing here.
The surrounding signs of destruction show that the battle that took place here was absolutely horrific.
But this stone wall was not damaged by the battle!
"This stone wall...there is definitely a big problem!"
Gu Tiansheng glanced at Mei Xiaohan and found that he was also staring at the stone wall.
Sensing his gaze, Mei Xiaohan turned to look at him with a cold look.
"Haha, old guy, guess whether Ye Qingchen is hiding in here?"
Gu Tiansheng said loudly, pointing his finger at the stone wall.
"It's just a stone wall, how can it hide people?"
Mei Xiao smiled coldly: "It seems that your brain is getting harder and harder to use."
"Oh? Really? How can I feel that you seem to care about this stone wall?"
Gu Tiansheng smiled sinisterly and said, "Why don't you just let me break this stone wall?"
"you dare!"
Mei Xiaohan snorted angrily, and the aura on his body suddenly exploded!
In an instant, the atmosphere between the two parties suddenly became tense.
"Then why don't you come and give it a try?"
Gu Tiansheng sneered: "You are anxious to rescue Ye Qingchen anyway, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Mei Xiaohan sneered and said, "I really want to rescue Ye Qingchen."
"But I know that even if he is really like you said, and I rescued him from this stone wall, you will never let him go easily!"
"In that case, it's better to let him stay in there!"
After that, he sat down directly and said coldly:
"You all stay here with me and don't let those guys attack that stone wall!"
"yes!"
The second elder and others behind him all sat down cross-legged, and their auras locked onto everyone in Qingyun College!
Gu Tiansheng's face instantly darkened.
An elder behind him asked in a low voice: "Dean, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do?!"
Gu Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Should we leave now and let them stay here until Ye Qingchen comes out?!"
The elder immediately shut his mouth.
"I want to see how long Ye Qingchen can stay in there!"
Gu Tiansheng had already determined that Ye Qingchen was definitely hiding inside the stone wall.
Therefore, he also sat down cross-legged.
Everyone knows that when Ye Qingchen appears, the two parties will definitely engage in a decisive battle!
————————
At this time, there was a closed space with some light.
Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Suyan staring at him with worry on her face.
"you're awake?!"
When Ning Suyan saw him open her eyes, she was so excited that she shed a few tears.
She has been frightened all this time.
She was afraid that Ye Qingchen would remain unconscious in her arms.
Fortunately, Ye Qingchen finally woke up.
"Worrying you...well, this is...?"
Ye Qingchen covered his still aching head and looked around.
This seems to be a dungeon.
On the stone wall next to it, there are several luminous pearls that seem to be eternal.
In the center of the dungeon, there stands a tall stone statue.
This stone statue spreads out a pair of huge stone wings, with a body like a mandarin duck and legs like a crane.
On its head, which is shaped like a chicken head, there is a pair of narrow eyes that seem to be very bright, making people tremble at first glance.
"Is this the... legendary... phoenix?!"
When Ye Qingchen saw this stone statue, he was immediately surprised.
He once learned from the memory fragments left by that senior that there was a strange beast that was the king of all birds and beasts.
This kingly beast is the phoenix!
According to legend, when the phoenix sings, all the birds will fly;
When the phoenix comes out, hundreds of birds follow it.
This shows how powerful the phoenix is!
And he learned from the memory fragments that the senior seemed to have made friends with a phoenix!
"I really don't know what level that senior has reached..."
Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but sigh.
"How are you now? Are the injuries on your body feeling better?"
Ning Suyan took out several bottles of healing medicine from the Qiankun Ring: "I have a lot of medicine here, take it and eat it quickly."
"No need, I also have plenty of medicine with me."
Ye Qingchen smiled and took out the healing elixir from the Qiankun Ring.
At this time, an ancient but ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the dungeon.
"Boy, who are you...why do you have his power?"
"who?!"
Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan's expressions suddenly changed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ye Qingchen looked around and found no one there.
Finally, his eyes locked on the stone statue, and his eyes changed.
I saw that the eyes on the stone statue were decorated with colorful flames!
The pair of eyes seemed to have come alive, staring at the two of them!
"You...you are alive?!"
This scene shocked Ye Qingchen.
A living phoenix... This is simply a big deal for Jingvatron!
"Haha, that's right."
This time, Ye Qingchen and the others recognized that the sound was coming from the stone statue: "It's just like death."
After a pause, the eyes on the stone statue stared at Ye Qingchen again: "You haven't answered me yet, where does the power in your body... come from!"
Ye Qingchen glanced at Ning Suyan beside him and found that she was looking at them both blankly.
"Don't worry, she won't hear the conversation between you and me."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth.
After hearing this, the Phoenix statue was silent for a long time.
Then, it slowly spoke: "I didn't expect... that he couldn't survive that unreasonable disaster in the end..."
"Unexpected disaster?" Ye Qingchen's mind moved: "What do you mean?"
"This is not something you should know now."
The Phoenix statue refused to answer his question without hesitation: "Your current strength is far from enough. Knowing those things in advance will not do any good to your future."
"..."
Ye Qingchen was silent for a while and then asked: "Then how did you get here?"
He could more or less guess that Phoenix, like that senior, was a creature that did not belong to this world.
The pair of colorful eyes on the Phoenix stone statue seemed to be lost in memories.
It began to slowly tell about its experiences.
It turns out that when it first came to this world, it was seriously injured and its origin was damaged. It can be said that it was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
But at that time, it was discovered by several overlords who were passing by. They were immediately delighted and launched a siege on it.
Although the level of Phoenix was much higher than that of humans on the Mowu Continent, because his injuries were too serious, he was finally captured by them after a five-day and five-night battle.
And they had no way to kill the Phoenix, so they jointly created a sealing formation to seal the Phoenix's soul in the stone statue.
Then they came here day and night and used various cruel methods to force Phoenix to provide them with power.
In order to prevent the soul from completely dissipating, Phoenix had to give away part of its power.
And after these overlords gained power, they became a holy emperor with a reputation that shocked the world!
Later, they were not satisfied with standing on the top of all living beings, and still greedily wanted to seize more power from the Phoenix in order to try to ascend——
Become the legendary... "True Immortal"!
"After that, I was treated cruelly day by day. I no longer wanted to give them any power and allowed them to continue torturing my soul."
"I didn't expect that I, who was so proud, would one day be so desperate that I wanted to die at the hands of these despicable humans..."
The Phoenix statue let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Ye Qingchen's eyes became complicated.
He didn't expect that those remnants of the power inheritance would be such despicable people!
"But later I discovered that not all humans are despicable people."
The Phoenix statue's eyes glanced at Ning Suyan, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"At that time, a little girl who was much weaker than them came here and nourished my soul with her weak strength every day."
"At first, I thought this was their ploy, trying to get me to accept them and actively give them strength."
"But later, the little girl firmly said that she was not that kind of person, and she did not covet my magical power."
"She said that the phoenix was supposed to soar in the nine heavens and bring auspicious signs to people...it should not be trapped here and be bullied by others."
The Phoenix statue paused, and his tone was a little turbulent: "She still thought that one day she would find an opportunity to rescue me."
"I could feel her sincere and clear eyes, and I felt that she was not lying."
"So, I was impressed by her... I gave her the most powerful divine power in me."
"She later became the most powerful Holy Emperor on this continent at that time - Yuxia Lingdi!"
The strongest Holy Emperor!
Ye Qingchen was shocked.
He glanced at Ning Suyan quietly.
Could it be that... Ning Suyan can also reach this legendary height in the future?!
"She'll get there."
Phoenix seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and took the initiative to say: "If she can't become the strongest existence on this continent... then wouldn't my life be in vain!"
"It's a pity that when she fought with those people later, she was always unable to defeat them with just two fists... In the end, she chose to die with them."
The phoenix stone statue's colorful eyes were a little sad:
"In order to prevent my power from dissipating in vain, I turned these powers into these inheritances for the human beings on this continent to inherit, and set up a test to see their innate character."
Only then did Ye Qingchen understand the origin of this ruins.
"The little girl next to you will definitely become the strongest being on this continent as long as she doesn't go astray in the future!"
At this point, it suddenly changed its tone: "Of course, you are an exception."
Ye Qingchen was startled and didn't understand why Phoenix believed so firmly.
"Okay, now it's time to get down to business."
The Phoenix statue suddenly changed his words.
Ning Suyan was stunned, obviously hearing Phoenix's voice.
Ye Qingchen also immediately concentrated his attention.
"Just before you came in, I had already seen the situation outside."
The Phoenix Stone Statue said calmly: "There are two parties facing each other outside now, and one of them seems to be here to protect you."
protect them?
Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan suddenly became excited.
That must be someone from Xuanyu Academy!
"Then the other party must be someone from Qingyun College!"
Immediately, Ye Qingchen quickly calmed down and narrowed his eyes.
"As for the other party, although their overall cultivation is slightly inferior to those who want to protect you."
"But there are two people who are far stronger than them, hiding in the dark."
"!!"
Ye Qingchen and Ning Suyan's expressions changed slightly.
"It must be someone from Qingyun Dao Palace!"
Ye Qingchen said angrily.
"In this way, even if you go out now, you will only fall into their hands."
The Phoenix statue said calmly.
"Then Senior Phoenix, is there anything you can do?!"
Ye Qingchen asked anxiously.
If he wants to completely reverse this crisis, he needs strong enough power!
"Of course."
The Phoenix Stone Statue spoke with determination, which made Ye Qingchen's heart agitate for a moment.
"That is...accept my inheritance of source power!"
