Chapter 500 Fire Phoenix
In a sealed quiet room, the light flickers on and off, and there is a hidden evil spirit emerging.
There is an old man sitting in the room. This man has a white face and no beard. Although he has a head full of white hair, he is full of energy and his eyes are shining with sharp light. There were two other people beside him. One of them was no stranger. He was the elder of Qingshan Sect who was responsible for the order of Hanyue City. The other was an old woman. This old woman had a wrinkled face, messy hair, and a dark stick in her hand. The mahogany staff looks old and decrepit.
There was an ancient bronze cauldron placed in front of the three of them. There was no smoke or fire in the cauldron, but there was a flickering spiritual light. Sometimes it was accompanied by bursts of neighing sounds of birds and beasts. The sound was high-pitched and undulating, giving people a soul-shocking impact.
The old man with a white face and no beard stared at the ancient cauldron. After a while, he suddenly pointed a finger, punched a talisman in the cauldron, and silently recited a spell.
Only a "buzz" sound was heard, the cauldron trembled wildly, and the spiritual light inside it was rising even more. From the mouth of the cauldron, a dazzling firebird, shaped like a phoenix, emitted astonishing spiritual pressure. But his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was in a deep sleep and could not wake up, and he just made a low sound unconsciously.
When the old man saw this, a flash of coldness flashed across his face. After closing the spell, he waved his backhand, and several talismans rotated around, emitting dazzling rays of light and spraying towards the ancient tripod one by one.
After doing this, he took out several formation flags of different colors from his sleeves. With the help of the spell, the formation flags immediately spread out in all directions, forming a powerful formation that enveloped the ancient cauldron.
"Junior Brother Zhaixing, Junior Sister Ruan, the spirit summoning formation is now complete. Now as long as you two work with me to cast spells to maintain this formation, the Fire Phoenix will definitely wake up in less than three hours." The old man tilted his head to the person beside him. Elder Zhaixing said to the old woman.
"Senior Brother Tiangong, don't worry, we are already ready." Elder Zhaixing nodded slightly, clasped his fingers together, and activated his magic power to stabilize the formation flag in front of him.
The old woman surnamed Ruan looked serious and said coldly: "Speaking of which, Senior Brother Tiangong, this fire phoenix spirit beast has been sleeping for decades. Are you really confident that it can be awakened this time?"
"Junior Sister Ruan, don't worry. This spiritual beast showed signs of awakening a year ago. It's just that I didn't rush to awaken it in order to completely recover its spiritual power. Now that I want to track down the murderer of Junior Brother Xingyue, I naturally have to take action. ” Elder Tiangong smiled, looking very confident.
"Since senior brother has said this, I can rest assured." After hearing this, the old woman surnamed Ruan calmed down a little, and she chanted the mantra together.
The three of them are all major cultivators in the late stage of magic. When they join forces, the aura of the formation suddenly increases. The neighing sound from the ancient cauldron becomes louder. The fire bird wrapped in the aura is faintly struggling, as if at any time. will all wake up.
Elder Tiangong was overjoyed when he saw this, and his magic power doubled.
Elder Zhaixing and the old woman surnamed Ruan looked at each other, with shock flashing in their eyes, and at the same time they were also secretly worried, because they both felt that under the stimulation of the spirit summoning formation, the spirit beasts in the cauldron had an obvious aura surge, but they did not show any signs of it at all. It is inferior to the fourth-level monster, but as the beast's aura gradually increases, it is also accompanied by an astonishing ferocity. If such a ferocious spirit beast cannot be controlled after waking up, it will be a big trouble.
Elder Tiangong seemed to see the worries of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have subdued this spiritual beast for hundreds of years. Although it has been sleeping, I have spent a lot of time on it over the years. After awakening it, it will be of use to me.”
After a pause, Elder Tiangong continued: "This beast has the talent of tracking. Even though Junior Brother Xingyue is dead, he can still find the murderer's aura from his body. No matter how clever the concealment method is, that person will still be able to find out the breath of the murderer." There will be no escape.”
Hearing what he said, Elder Zhaixing and the old woman surnamed Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.
The old woman surnamed Ruan looked at the fire bird floating in the cauldron, pondered for a moment, and said: "Senior brother, this spiritual beast is indeed extraordinary. With the strength of this beast and the three of you and me, even if the murderer is a pill-forming monk, it will be enough." Let’s fight with him.”
"Energy Formation Stage? I'm afraid Junior Sister is worrying too much." Elder Tiangong shook his head after hearing this.
The old woman surnamed Ruan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"To tell you the truth, after receiving the news of Junior Brother Xingyue's death, I also thought that the person who did it was an alchemy monk. However, there are not many alchemy monks in Nanshan. After my investigation, I found that these old monsters are all here. There is no one walking around in the sect's guarding and retreating, and there is no news of outside monks coming here recently, so I think the person who took action should also be in the late stage of magic, but there may be someone in his hands. These magic weapons are enough for him to instantly kill the same level, so he can kill Xing Yue with one blow," Elder Tiangong said with a sneer.
"Is he on the same level as us? In that case, there is no need to worry. With the strength of the three of us and the tracking of the fire phoenix, this person will never escape our grasp even if he goes to heaven or earth."
"That's right, as long as we know the details of the other party, we can capture Huo Feng at any time after he wakes up. Then we will make sure that he knows the price to pay for killing the elders of our faction."
Elder Zhaixing and the old woman surnamed Ruan both chuckled when they heard this.
"What you two said makes sense. The most urgent task now is to stabilize the spirit summoning formation. As long as the fire phoenix absorbs enough spiritual energy, it can wake up." Elder Tiangong said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Elder Zhaixing and the old woman surnamed Ruan nodded one after another and said nothing more.
At this time, the elder Tiangong bit his finger and pointed the bloody fingertip towards the ancient cauldron. The cauldron trembled violently, and waves of light swept out from it, illuminating the entire quiet room.
An astonishing scene appeared. After Elder Tiangong pointed his fingertips at the ancient cauldron, the cauldron seemed to have suction, absorbing all the essence and blood on his finger. He greedily absorbed a few more before he would give up. .
Elder Tiangong seemed to have lost all his vitality, and his face quickly turned pale. However, instead of being discouraged, he was in high spirits and recited a low mantra. With the activation of his magic power, the ancient cauldron, which had absorbed the essence and blood, turned blood red, glowing with bursts of enchanting brilliance.
Elder Zhaixing and the old woman surnamed Ruan saw this strange scene and did not dare to disturb them, so they had to use their magic power to assist.
After about two hours of this, several dull impact sounds of "dong dong" suddenly came from the cauldron. The three of them were refreshed. They saw the wings of the firebird in the ancient cauldron stretching out, its sharp claws constantly struggling, and the words in its mouth. It spurted out balls of seven-colored flames, and its eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened at the same time, shooting out sharp rays of light.
"The fire phoenix spirit has awakened!"
Seeing the strange change of the fire bird in the cauldron, Elder Tiangong chuckled excitedly. This fire phoenix is a descendant of the phoenix. It has inherited the thin blood of the true spirit and has supreme magical powers. He spent a lot of effort on it. It was finally subdued, but unfortunately it had been sleeping for a long time, and now it was finally awakened by the combined efforts of the three of them.
The two people next to them also lit up.
At this moment, the cauldron made a loud rumble, followed by a piercing scream, and a colorful firebird flew out of it.
As soon as the bird appeared, it immediately grew in size and transformed into a huge beast amidst the layers of fire. It occupied the entire secret room in an instant. However, unexpectedly, after the beast broke free from the ancient cauldron, its eyes suddenly became sharp and it looked at The eyes of the three people present showed a sharp edge.
With a "pop" sound, the firebird suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a ball of colorful fireballs towards the three of them without any warning. The blazing heat suddenly filled the surrounding area. Even the copper and iron walls of the secret room were also emitted by the fierce burning. There are bursts of green smoke.
"No, this beast is wild and difficult to tame. I'm afraid it will break out of control!" Elder Zhaixing's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly cast a spell to protect his whole body and block the fireball.
The old woman surnamed Ruan also had a trembling look on her face. This Fire Phoenix was originally of the same level as them, and had inherited the blood of the true spirit in her body. The true fire she released was comparable to a blow from a pill-forming monk. She did not dare to do so at the moment. neglect.
She stomped her wooden staff and took a picture of the talisman on her body. A layer of blue light suddenly spread over her body, turning into a sea bowl that turned upside down and enveloped her.
The two reacted quickly and had already taken protection before the fireball hit. However, they obviously underestimated the Firebird's magical power. The fireballs repeatedly collided with their protective light shields and then exploded. The two were unable to resist. He immediately retreated several feet.
"Brother Tiangong, didn't you say you have already controlled this beast? What's going on?" The old woman surnamed Ruan was furious. She shouted coldly and hurriedly activated the magic formula to try to resist the fire bird's attack again.
The sudden change also made Elder Tiangong stunned, but he ignored the scoldings of the two men. As if he had been prepared, he took out a square silver plate from his arms and threw it to the fire bird as a sacrifice.
Then he made a magic spell with both hands and hit a magic spell on the silver plate. The light of the treasure gradually increased, and a rune appeared from it.
When Elder Tiangong saw this, he softly uttered the word "go" in his mouth. The runes flashed on the silver plate a few times and were printed on the forehead of the fire bird with great speed.
The Firebird howled as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and struggled violently. However, Elder Tiangong did not stop there. Instead, he continued to play the spell with a sneer. The Firebird's forehead was illuminated by a talisman, and the bird trembled a few times. Afterwards, the fire all over his body subsided, and the sharp light in his eyes quickly receded.
"You bastard, why don't you surrender?" Elder Tiangong shouted loudly, and pointed out a beam of light with both fingers. The firebird immediately stopped struggling and prostrated in front of him in an extremely docile manner.
Seeing this scene, Elder Tiangong chuckled, walked up and stroked the beast's forehead, feeling very satisfied. Then he looked back at Zhaixing and the old woman named Ruan, and said with a smile: "You two, now The fire phoenix has been tamed by me, it's time to go find the madman."
The two of them thought of the terrifying attack just now, but they still dared not approach with doubts on their faces.
"The fire phoenix is indeed well-deserved. With the magical power of this beast, I am afraid that ordinary monks in the late stage of magic will find it difficult to fight against." Elder Zhaixing took a deep breath and looked at the fire phoenix in wonder.
"Hehe, the magical power of Fire Phoenix is not just that. When you find the madman who killed Junior Brother Xingyue, you two will naturally see how powerful it is." Elder Tiangong laughed, then rolled up his sleeves and robes, The fire phoenix circled again and rushed out of the door in an instant, turning into a streak of fire and disappearing into the sky.
