Chapter 41

(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)

“Wow! This flame can turn us into a phoenix.”

After reading the details about the phoenix flame, the little fox exclaimed in amazement.

The phoenix was a legendary existence among their demon race, a natural-born emperor.

With this flame, it was possible to become such a powerful existence.

Thinking of becoming a phoenix naturally made her eyes shine.

Looking at the little fox’s expression, Lin Yan smiled and said, “Xiao Bai, you can try this flame and see if you can turn into a phoenix.”

However, the little fox immediately shook her head, “No! After absorbing this flame, I will be reborn as a phoenix. After that, I’ll lose all my memory, then how can I find you? If I can’t find you, who will grill the fish for me?”

The thought of not eating the grilled fish made her almost lose her mind.

While looking at the gluttonous little fox, Lin Yan’s lips curved into a smile, and he replied, “Don’t worry, you are my savior. No matter what you become, I will grill the fish as much as you want to eat.”

This promise from Lin Yan made the little fox very satisfied and she smiled.

With a smile, she suddenly said, “Why don’t Big Stone try it anyway? Your body cannot absorb the spiritual qi; it might be better if you turn into a phoenix inheritor instead.”

In the beginning, Lin Yan named her Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai felt it was unfair, so she began calling him ‘Big Stone’ as Lin Yan had a stone character in his name.

Lin Yan shook his head and replied, “I still have to wait for my sister’s return. This phoenix flame is pretty good, but it doesn’t suit me.”

…

(In the Barren Lands of Lingxuan Continent)

Several powerful techniques shattered the space into pieces, turning it chaotic.

People who watched this scene were most likely terrified to see it.

However, amid this raging chaos, Xiao Yanran’s figure suddenly appeared.

She then looked in the direction of Ninth Heavenly Palace as a few tears rose.

Although she was nowhere near the Nine Heavens Palace at this moment, as the top immortal-level powerhouse in the Lingxuan Continent, she could sense everything inside the Nine Heavens Palace.

“How good it would have been if you hadn’t waited for me and fused this phoenix flame.” Xiao Yanran sighed in her heart.

If Lin Yan had fused this phoenix flame, he wouldn’t be destined to become a future Heavenly Emperor.

If he hadn’t become the Heavenly Emperor, then the two of them, her brother and she, might have been close and inseparable.

“Xiao Yanran, are you still not dead yet?” A cold voice was heard from within this collapsed space.

Xiao Mei, who was holding an immortal bronze mirror, suddenly appeared.

She was covered with killing intent and spoke icily, “You cared about your brother and sister’s love and wanted to save the Heavenly Emperor. But you are unaware of how much evil the emperor had done since then. The Demon Queen is right. If he escapes today, he will not give up and will definitely come back in the future. Tell me, who can kill him then?”

Faced with Xiao Mei’s accusation, Xiao Yanran was silent.

Indeed, what Xiao Mei had said was true.

It’s not that she didn’t know.

But at this moment, the scenes of Lin Yan carefully caring for her, even digging up his supreme bone with his own hands, kept appearing in her mind, causing her heartache.

“If you want to stop me from saving him, kill me.”

Xiao Yanran’s expression was icy cold, and her white palm waved, striking out her most powerful technique.

When Xiao Mei saw this, she didn’t dare to be careless.

She was afraid that the current Xiao Yanran was determined to save her brother at the cost of her life.

As long as she was killed, there would naturally be no one to save the Heavenly Emperor.

“It’s troublesome. All kinds of evildoings done by the Heavenly Emperor would gradually appear on the Linglong Treasure Mirror. At that moment, you will naturally wake up.” Xiao Mei coldly snorted in her heart.

Now within the Linglong Treasure Mirror, Lin Yan had not yet become the Heavenly Emperor.

Even Xiao Mei felt that he was worthy of admiration for everything he had done earlier.

But the Heavenly Emperor was, after all, a Heavenly Emperor.

Sooner or later, scenes of the Heavenly Emperor’s evildoings would appear within the Linglong Treasure Mirror.

At that time, this pity, admiration… would immediately dissipate from the people’s hearts.

Until then, she decided to stall the time.

Making up her mind, Xiao Mei once again waved the Immortal weapon- The bronze mirror in her hand and resumed her battle with Xiao Yanran.

The battle between the two immortal-level powerhouses stirred up the surrounding space and all the things that got affected turned into pieces.

…

(Outside The Linglong Treasure Mirror)

Seeing that Lin Yan and the little fox didn’t know the actual worth of the phoenix flame, the Demon Queen snorted coldly.

This phoenix flame was the most precious treasure of their Phoenix clan.

Seeing them disregarding it so much, of course, made the Demon Queen unhappy.

“The Heavenly Emperor and the little fox, neither of them have absorbed this Phoenix Flame, which means that this Phoenix Flame might still exist.” The Demon Queen secretly said in her heart.

She was a true Phoenix, so if she could absorb this Phoenix flame, it would greatly benefit her cultivation.

She had yet to find this little fox and find clues about this Phoenix clan land.

Just as the Demon Queen was silently calculating in her heart, the scene inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror changed again.

Looking at the mirror, the Demon Queen became furious and stood up, “You dare! How dare you do this!…”
