Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 753 - 330 Vice Sect Master Pei Stands with Lu Jin’an_2

To give the ancestral Parasol Tree left by the Ancestor to the Human Clan, isn't this considered betrayal?

The Old Phoenix Saint's eyes were somber, and after a few seconds of silence, her voice softened a bit: "Mu Yan, your older sister has already paid for her mistakes. If you are willing to bring back the Parasol Tree, we can let bygones be bygones, and even the position that Huang Ningshang did not secure back then could be yours. You have the strength for it!"

"Get lost!" Pei Wanyu's response was brief and to the point.

The Old Phoenix Saint's gaze turned fierce: "Don't be ungrateful. It was Huang Ningshang who first betrayed the bloodline and gave birth to a little bastard, and you all still protected that little bastard. We were willing to spare him, asking only for that little bastard's life, and you..."

Before she could finish, Pei Wanyu directly interrupted her: "If you don't leave now, when the Human Clan's reinforcement arrives, none of you will escape!

And moreover, why don't you take a look at your current position before you speak!"

The Old Phoenix Saint fell silent, having broken through Zheng Dongliu and others' defenses, she was now trapped in a counter-encirclement.

Counting on Jin Chengjun and the others to take action?

The reason the Black Phoenix Clan sent her over was precisely because she was the oldest, right?

Now with her lifespan further reduced by Huang Muyan, her value alive was even less than before...

Although the Black Phoenix Clan's expertise in the Time Path grants them longer lifespans, without achieving Transcendence, their lives are ultimately finite.

But she knew what her purpose was for coming here.

The Old Phoenix Saint looked back at the demon saints including Jin Chengjun; the three Hidden Divine Cultivators of the Upper Realm Human Clan were already nowhere to be seen.

With just her alone, she could not pose a threat to Huang Muyan, so there was only one purpose left.

Use the remaining strength to continue exhausting Zheng Dongliu!

If she couldn't kill the old fellow outright, she would at least diminish his life!

Until the Demon Lord is ready to strike decisively in one battle!

With this thought, the Old Phoenix Saint targeted the youngest Hidden Divine Cultivator present from the Wandao Sect.

Even in the Southern Great Realm, they could not defeat Zheng Dongliu, but who in the world didn't know Zheng Dongliu's character?

He's an old man willing to entrust the future to his juniors.

Under his influence, even with superior talent, the disciples of the Wandao Sect, in any action, serve as vanguard or rearguard as brothers.

Thus, as long as the target was set on this young Hidden Divine Cultivator, Zheng Dongliu would certainly step in to rescue!

Her eyes met with those of the demon saints including Jin Chengjun, the Time Path swirling around the Old Phoenix Saint, yet before she could act, she first felt the demon energy rising from Huang Muyan behind her.

The Old Phoenix Saint's gaze stiffened; this surely targeted her again.

If her lifespan was reduced once more, how much power could she still exert?

If she couldn't accomplish anything before dying, wouldn't it be a wasted death?

Seeing the Hidden Divine Cultivators of the Wandao Sect already gathered around Zheng Dongliu, the Old Phoenix Saint found herself in a dilemma.

She once more fixated on the direction of the Parasol Tree, a hesitant killing intent in her eyes.

Zheng Dongliu glanced at the Old Phoenix Saint expressionlessly: "If you retreat now, I might just leave you a path to live."

He was very clear about the current situation; he could fight, but the juniors around him couldn't hold on much longer in the Southern Great Realm.

In a mere nine days, not to mention the Immortal Pills, just the Immortal Artifacts held by both sides had already reached a count of ten, enough for two hands.

Although grateful that no one had died yet, from the Wandao Sect's side, two severely injured Hidden Divine Cultivators had already returned, and the replacements were already injured.

The Human Clan naturally could not outlast the Demon Clan in a prolonged battle, especially in a place like the Southern Great Realm where Spiritual Power not only fails to replenish but continuously depletes.

Adding in the Demon Lord watching in the shadows, the Hidden Life Mountain Saint Emperor, and others...

Zheng Dongliu had to consider not only the present but also the future.

If the Wandao Sect suffered too much loss, even though its prestige would still be there, it wouldn't prevent some small schemes!

Besides, releasing that Old Phoenix Saint back would only trouble the Black Phoenix Clan.

Raising an Old Phoenix Saint is no small expense!

"Hand over the Parasol Tree." Jin Chengjun stared at Zheng Dongliu: "We will leave immediately."

Zheng Dongliu chuckled: "Do you even know where you are now?"

As he finished speaking, he extended his right hand: "Then let's continue."

Jin Chengjun looked suspiciously to the north, feeling no Spiritual Power from other Human Clan Hidden Divine Cultivators.

Bluffing?

The thought crossed Jin Chengjun's mind, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly; with Zheng Dongliu, the strongest presence of the current era, did it count as bluffing?

If it weren't for the Southern Great Realm, and if Zheng Dongliu didn't have to protect others, how could they have stood against him for so long?

Thinking this, Jin Chengjun transformed into human shape: "Then I shall spar with Sect Master Zheng..."

"Huang Ningshang!?"

Before he could finish, the exclamatory voice of the Old Phoenix Saint made Jin Chengjun freeze, quickly turning his head, but seeing no trace of Huang Ningshang.

Indeed, Huang Ningshang was clearly dead... hmm?

The other wave of demon energy sweeping from Huang Muyan's location, similar yet distinct, was...

Jin Chengjun's mouth twitched; was it Huang Ningshang's contingency plan, or was she truly still alive?

Jin Chengjun was uncertain, but he knew it was time to retreat.

With Zheng Dongliu, Huang Muyan, plus another Huang Ningshang, they truly couldn't fight and only had the option to flee.

"Old Senior, let's go..." Jin Chengjun looked at the Old Phoenix Saint, but before he could finish, Zheng Dongliu moved first: "Thinking of leaving now?"

Jin Chengjun's expression changed: "Retreat!"

Indeed, it seemed what Huang Ningshang left behind came into play; also, with Huang Muyan hidden within the Wandao Sect, who knows if Huang Ningshang had already reached some agreement with Zheng Dongliu before defecting!

Dragons and Phoenixes fled, leaving the Old Phoenix Saint in a predicament.

Zheng Dongliu didn't truly pursue them, instead turning around to look at the Old Phoenix Saint, revealing a smile for the first time during this time: "I did just give you a chance."

Speaking, he was already rushing forward.

In no time, the Old Phoenix Saint became a prisoner, unable to self-destruct with Zheng Dongliu present.

"Sect Master, though she may be old, she's still full of treasures. Shall we slaughter her after returning?"

"No rush," Zheng Dongliu said nonchalantly: "Let's ask the Vice Sect Master's opinion after leaving."

"Sect Master, Vice Sect Master Pei she..." someone hesitantly began, as even if they hadn't known before, hearing the voice identical to Pei Wanyu's, how couldn't they know her true identity?

"Vice Sect Master Pei didn't stand on the Human Clan's side," someone picked up the conversation: "She just said so herself."

Zheng Dongliu chuckled: "So, where do you think she stands? With the Demon Clan?"

"No, if the Demon Clan wanted her to return, it would only be a temporary measure; returning would certainly lead to settling the score!"

"Then where does she stand, isn't it clear yet?"

The rest were taken aback, looking thoughtfully at the distant Heavenly Tribulation.

It was Lu Jin'an's Heavenly Tribulation, and Pei Wanyu was there.

So...

Is she standing on Lu Jin'an's side?

Just based on a teacher-student affection?

For Pei Wanyu, whose origins lay with the Demon Clan, is she really so sentimental and morally upright?

They exchanged glances, while Zheng Dongliu stroked his beard, smiling as he thought of a folk saying: Marry a pauper, stay with a pauper; marry a fox, go with a fox.

This old man could still discern the 'affection' that lay between Pei Wanyu and Lu Jin'an's interactions.

Heh, Jin'an is quite fond of women; otherwise, why would he focus on his Master?

But being able to win the heart of a Black Phoenix, the child's capabilities are indeed impressive.

Moreover...

Pei Wanyu's voice earlier was evidently hinting to this old man: It's only the Wandao Sect of Lu Jin'an she cares about.

'Adding flowers to Brocade, unnecessary indeed...'

Zheng Dongliu shook his head, addressing others: "Fang Chen and Cang Songchuan stay behind, the rest escort that Black Phoenix back for treatment. The next battlefield is at Two Realms Pass."

"Understood!"

······

Within the Time Barrier, Pei Wanyu quietly put away her sorcery, silently watching the ever-faster burning Parasol Tree.

The Time Path that formed the intimidating sorcery in this space... It was surely the demon energy of her older sister.

Is her sister really still alive?

Pei Wanyu frowned slightly; if she really was alive, why not scare away the Ancient Court's demon saints earlier?

After pondering, Pei Wanyu tentatively extended her right hand, summoning dark demon energy at her fingertip aiming at the Parasol Tree, and then...

She felt a threat.

"..."

Pei Wanyu was at a loss for words; clearly, it wasn't because her older sister was secretly controlling it, but this unique Time Barrier had a protective function.

Just like how some defensive arrays automatically fend off external threats.

And what was this Time Barrier protecting?

It's obvious.

"Is it necessary...?"

Pei Wanyu lowered her right hand, feeling the receding threat, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What reasoning!

Does my precious apprentice still need you to worry???
