The face of the Cao Clan’s ancestor fell as he released a livid expression. The people of the Ice Phoenix clan were very determined, they won’t hesitate to attack him. However, he was not willing to go back empty hand.
He came forward and said loudly, “I want to see how you will chase us out.” He included the rest of the people with him because he knew that he couldn’t win against them on his own. Even the people of the Su Clan also left early.
“Yes, we will also want some share.”
“Yes, you can’t collect all the treasures inside of this palace alone. We have sacrificed our comrade in this secret realm, we can’t leave empty-handed.”
The ancestor of the Cao Clan’s voice seemed to give courage to a few others as they spoke out with wronged expressions.
“Hey, have you gone senile? Do you want to offend such a big clan for some treasures? So what you win here using the numbers, do you really think they won’t come to your door for revenge later?” One cultivator retorted after seeing his friend bravely stepping forward.
His voice was not loud, but many heard him. These words worked like some poured cold water on their head who just now demanded the treasures from the Ice Phoenix Clan.
It was indeed very true. So what they won inside this secret realm using the numbers, but that means they will offend the strongest group. If they decided to take revenge in the future, who will protect them?
Many people started backing out immediately. As the morale of the group dropped, the remaining few couldn’t incite the crowd now.
One hour later, the surrounding area of the palace became barren. Only people of the Ice Phoenix Clan could be seen surrounding the palace, guarding it tightly.
“Let’s go in!” The woman led dozens of people including Zheng Meili and come in front of the door. While the remaining hundred people have surrounded the palace. Although they chased away the crowd, it was no guarantee, they will not come back.
After they arrived in front of the door, the matriarch looked at Meili.
Zheng Meili nodded slowly as she stepped toward the door. Arriving close to the door, she placed her hand on the door.
A few seconds later, a clicking sound appeared as the metal door started opening itself.
Seeing the metal door opening, their faces were filled with excitement. Their eyes widened as they looked very thrilled to enter the palace.
Zheng Meili stepped inside followed by the people of the Ice Phoenix Clan. The inside of the palace was very special, strangely the entire palace seemed made of ice. A huge long hall in the middle surrounded the rooms on the sides.
They walked straight ahead at a quick pace. At the end of the hall, there was a giant metal door that led to a secure room in the palace. At this time, Zheng Meili took out four jade tokens from her rind and inserted them into the four different holes in the metal door.
The room was wide but empty. Seeing the empty room, people were surprised. They were about to step forward but were stopped by Zheng Meili. “Stop!”
Zheng Meili was calm as she was talking to the remnant soul of her master.
“There is a secret door hidden in the front wall. Follow my instruction carefully, if you make mistake, you and others will be dead in seconds.
“Hmm!” Zheng Meili nodded seriously. Then she looked back and said to others, “Don’t enter? There are deadly traps placed all around here. A single mistake can kill you.”
The people of the Ice Phoenix Clan nodded heavily.
“Wait here, I am going in.” Zheng Meili said as she stepped forward.
“Meili, take care!” The matriarch said concernedly. Zheng Meili nodded as she carefully studied the floor and then slowly took a step. Step by step, she walked into the room while talking to her master in her mind.
After a few minutes, she finally crossed the room and come in front of the wall. Then she started to press a few times on the wall in a systemic pattern and next the flat wall started to shift to the side as a path appeared in front of her leading underground.
“Come, it’s safe now!” She turned around and gave a signal to others before walking forward into the narrow path.
The narrow path led them to an underground place. The temperature underground was very low, almost freezing.
“It’s too cold in here!” As the bone chilling coldness assaulted their bodies, they couldn’t help but use their spiritual energy to block the cold qi from entering their bodies.
There was placed an ice crystal block in the middle. They could see a figure lying inside the ice block. It was a beautiful blue haired woman in a blue robe. Even though she was dead for centuries but it looked like she was sleeping quietly.
“Zheng Meili, is this…”
“Yes, this is indeed master’s physical body.”
The People of the Ice Phoenix Clan has an extremely respectful and solemn expression when they looked at the figure inside the ice block. They bowed respectfully.
Zheng Meili walked toward the ice block slowly.
“Matriarch, can ancestor really revive?” One of the elders whispered in doubt.
The matriarch looked at the elder with a blank look and said calmly, “Ancestor has a pure bloodline of Divine Phoenix. There is a reason why phoenixes, dragons, and a few other beasts are called divine beasts. It is not because they are stronger than a normal beast but because each of them possesses an innate super-powerful ability that surpassed the level of the mortal world. These special abilities of their make them unique and special.”
“Phoenix possessed the strongest regeneration power. According to the legend, The Phoenix could revive itself from a single drop of blood.”
“What should I do now? Master!” Zheng Meili asked softly.
“You need to soak this ice block in the phoenix blood.” Her master’s voice sounded in her mind.
Zheng Meili nodded lightly then she looked back at the matriarch of the Ice Phoenix Clan and said, “It’s time. Did you bring the phoenix blood?”
“Yes!” The woman nodded quickly.
The Matriarch of the Ice Phoenix Clan nodded then she took out a huge metal bowl from her storage ring that was filled with phoenix blood.
“You guys wait outside and guard the room. Do not let anyone disturb us?” The Matriarch looked at the elders and said in a serious tone.
“Leave this to us, we won’t let anyone disturb you.” All of them nodded and walked out of the room. A few were reluctant to leave as they wanted to witness the revival of the ancestor. However, none of them was daring enough to disobey the matriarch. Now, there were only two people remained in the room.
“Let’s get started. Follow my lead!” Zheng Meili spoke.
The woman picked up the ice block and placed it in the phoenix blood. Soon the entire ice block was drowned in the phoenix’s blood. The Phoenix’s blood started to boil suddenly as the ice blocked drown in it.
One hour later.
“The ice is about to melt off completely. I am going in.” Her master said before leaving her sea of consciousness.
“Best of luck master!” Zheng Meili muttered silently.
As soon as the remnant soul entered her body, it shivered slightly. As it slowed started absorbing the life energy from the phoenix’s blood. In just a few minutes, all the life qi in phoenix blood was absorbed by Zheng Meili’s master.
Zheng Meili’s master opened her eyes slowly and let out a sigh, ‘Finally!’ Suddenly a strong momentum burst out from her body. A phantom of a blue phoenix came out of the phoenix’s blood tank and soared into the sky.
Cry!~
A loud cry of phoenix resounded in the sky that spread the entire secret realm. One could see a huge phantom of a blue phoenix in the sky above the palace.
Hearing the cry of the phoenix, the people of the Ice Phoenix clan burst into joy as they knelt down and bowed to the blue phoenix.
She slowly floated out from the phoenix blood and come in front of Zheng Meili.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m This woman was extremely beautiful. Her beauty was intensified by her blue hair and eyes further.
“Ancestor! Master!” The woman and Zheng Meili called out as they kneeled down in front of the blue-haired woman.
The blue-haired woman looked at two and said calmly, “Get up, thank you for reviving me. I am very grateful for you guys.”
