Chapter 541 - 201: Others Ride Flying Swords, I Ride the Phoenix Maiden
The next day.
After a night passed, the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect have already expelled the remaining toxins from their bodies.
Today they will leave Celestial Phoenix Mountain to reunite with their senior and junior sisters.
On Celestial Phoenix Mountain, white mist lingered, and the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds, falling on the disciples who were watching the sunrise.
Zhang Zheng laughed heartily, "The sunrise is magnificent, just like my heart!"
Chen Yunfeng also looked relaxed, "I didn’t expect Celestial Phoenix Mountain to not only have beautiful scenery but also a unique flavor when watching the sunrise!"
The other disciples echoed, each looking radiant.
Last night, after the Celestial Phoenix Maiden acknowledged her master, Zhu Lin ordered the Celestial Phoenix Race members to visit each Zhenyang Sect disciple’s room to help them exercise and expel toxins as a gesture of sincerity.
During this time, nothing inappropriate happened, only these male disciples, who usually trained bitterly every day in Zhenyang Sect, unexpectedly had beauties accompanying them throughout the night - such a blessing was truly a first experience.
Suddenly, dreary training became a delight.
Getting up early today, they all felt refreshed and in high spirits.
At this moment, Shi Ying faced the morning sun and laughed heartily, "The descendants of the Phoenix Bird all favor me highly, it seems my qualification isn’t lacking, it’s just that those junior sisters in the past had no eye for appraisal."
The male disciples beside him nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, we used to think the senior and junior sisters in our sect were like fairies, only to realize last night that my Ying’er is the most beautiful in the world!"
It seems that last night this one had a deeper connection with a Celestial Phoenix Race beauty.
At this time, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Jian Yue, and Zhu Lin also arrived.
Chun Ningzhi saw Jian Yue and immediately spoke righteously to that male disciple, "Nonsense! Junior Sister Ye is the true fairy of the world, the most beautiful!"
Then he spoke to Jian Yue, "Junior Sister Ye, last night I refused the assistance of the Celestial Phoenix Race women, you mustn’t misunderstand."
Jian Yue nodded slightly and walked past directly, Chun Ningzhi looked delighted:
"Junior Sister Ye understands my intentions."
Zhu Lin gave him a surprised look, shook her head slightly, and ultimately held back from speaking.
Jian Yue addressed the disciples, "Since the toxins have been removed from everyone’s body, let’s immediately return to Sun and Moon Mountain to reunite with our junior sisters."
"Yes!"
The male disciples cupped their hands and agreed; although someone had a reluctant expression, they didn’t dare disobey the elder sister’s command. Upon hearing this, everyone stepped on their flying swords, slowly rose into the air, and prepared to set off.
Only Qin Gengyun remained standing in place, Chun Ningzhi laughed, "Junior Brother He, if you can’t control a sword, I’ll take you along."
Just then, a long cry pierced through the clouds from the sky, and a large bird flew down from the summit of Celestial Phoenix Mountain.
This bird had golden feathers, somewhat resembling the legendary Phoenix, just without the golden flames.
The large bird flew in front of Qin Gengyun, letting out a few gentle cries. Qin Gengyun stepped onto its back, and the bird flew up, aligning itself with the disciples on flying swords in the air.
"Junior Brother He, what is this..."
Chun Ningzhi looked at him in surprise, as did the others who widened their eyes. Qin Gengyun explained:
"This is a Phoenix Bird Beast I tamed last night. Since I can’t control a flying sword, I claimed it as my mount, making travel much easier."
"Phoenix Bird Beast?!" Zhang Zheng exclaimed, "This is a branch of the Ancient Divine Phoenix, the only type of high-grade Demonic Beast that doesn’t harm humans according to legend!"
It was well known that once Demonic Beasts reached Fourth Grade, they’d develop spiritual sense and control low-grade beasts to attack humans.
Only the Phoenix Bird Beast, a branch of the Ancient Divine Phoenix, was born Fifth Grade or higher, yet inherently friendly to humans.
With strong powers and loyalty, it was a dream mount for many Great Cultivators.
If nurtured well, it might even awaken ancient bloodlines and transform into a real Ancient Divine Phoenix!
However, Phoenix Bird Beasts have been nearly extinct for thousands of years; it was said there was only one left on Feiyun Sect.
No one expected He Zhiqiu to encounter one!
While everyone was in shock, Zhu Lin explained, "Indeed, there is a Phoenix Bird Beast on our Celestial Phoenix Mountain, only no one had been able to tame it, didn’t expect Taoist Friend He to be the fated one."
After hearing this, Chun Ningzhi and others had no choice but to believe the scene before their eyes.
The Phoenix Bird Beast spread its wings in the wind, its golden feathers shining brilliantly in the sunlight, a body as graceful as flowing water, yet with every wing flutter, it exuded power, like a peerless beauty standing proudly.
Strangely, this beautiful and alluring Phoenix Bird Beast had a man standing on its back, like a beauty tarnished, a sight that made one sigh with regret.
The male disciples looked down at their plain and ordinary flying swords, feeling overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness.
We stand on flying swords, they stand on a Phoenix Bird.
How can you even compare?
Under countless amazed gazes, the Phoenix Bird Beast under Qin Gengyun seemed somewhat embarrassed, let out a cry, and swiftly flew forward.
After flying some distance, she glanced back at Zhu Lin and then down at Celestial Phoenix Mountain, her eyes looking slightly moist.
Finally, her wings flapped, swiftly carrying Qin Gengyun away.
"Isn’t that speed too fast?"
"I don’t believe it!"
The other male disciples were dumbfounded, and driven by competitive spirit, they urged their flying swords to chase after Qin Gengyun and the Phoenix Bird Beast ahead.
"Hey, big bird wait for me, I want to ride too!"
Little Hammer laughed loudly, his hammer turning into a stream of light and swiftly departing.
Jian Yue stayed calm, driving his flying sword while using a Sound Transmission Talisman to communicate with Wei Wan.
Once everyone was gone, Zhu Lin gave a deep bow to Qiu Zhihe, saying:
"Saintess, please take care of Little Huang."
Qiu Zhihe replied blandly, "If there comes a day when he needs Celestial Phoenix Mountain, I hope you remember your promise."
Zhu Lin said, "Descendants of the Divine Phoenix speak the truth! Please, Saintess, do not forget our agreement from last night either."
Qiu Zhihe raised her delicate hand, sending a Sound Transmission Talisman into Zhu Lin’s hand: "If Celestial Phoenix Mountain is in trouble, I surely won’t stand idly by."
With that, she stepped on her flying sword and swiftly flew away.
Zhu Lin gazed ahead, her eyes becoming moist as she murmured, "Sister, take care of yourself."
...
Flying from Celestial Phoenix Mountain to Sun and Moon Mountain, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect traveled, a group of people on flying swords and hammers, while beneath Qin Gengyun was a beautiful Phoenix Bird.
A male disciple suddenly asked, "By the way, why didn’t we see the Celestial Phoenix Maiden earlier?"
Others were also puzzled, recalling the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s stunning face and alluring figure, some couldn’t help but show a dazed expression.
"Such a captivating beauty, wonder if we’ll meet again someday."
The Phoenix Bird Beast under Qin Gengyun flapped her golden wings, nearly knocking that male disciple from his flying sword. Qin Gengyun gently stroked her body, softly calling out:
"Huang’er."
The Phoenix Bird Beast uttered a cry, seemingly displeased, but in the end, she heeded Qin Gengyun’s words and didn’t trouble that disciple further.
At this time, Jian Yue flew up from behind, looking at Qin Gengyun with a grave expression:
"Sun and Moon Mountain has changed; Junior Brother Lanyin...is missing."
