314: Forbidden Zone of the Gods, I bet your gun is out of ammo.

Xu Le connected with the Contract Space and with a wave of his right hand, a cute Little Yellow Chicken hopped out.

This had been pre-arranged with Nine Phoenix to avoid shocking the world and drawing the immediate attention of the Heavenly Dao.

As soon as the Little Yellow Chicken landed, it chirped. The Heavenly Dao seemed to sense something, and a purple thread drifted down.

"Nine Phoenix, above your head!"

Nine Phoenix looked up but saw nothing, her eyes filled with confusion.

But she had heard her master talk about the outside world and knew that every living being had a purple thread above their head, so she opened her mouth and began to breathe fire.

Without controlling her strength, the blue flames shot upward. The ceiling decorations instantly turned to ash, followed by the reinforced concrete, which was also incinerated by the blue fire.

Fortunately, it was daytime; otherwise, the people upstairs would have been burned to death as well.

Xu Le gave a timely reminder, and Nine Phoenix restricted the fire to a specific area. The blazing flames burned, completely covering the space above her head.

The purple thread was like the moon's reflection in water, remaining connected to the top of Nine Phoenix's head without being affected in the slightest.

The blue flames burned for a long time, yet the purple thread remained unchanged.

Bad news: Nine Phoenix was affected as soon as she came out.

Good news: That thread was similar to that of an ordinary bird of prey, only 1/10th the thickness of a human's thread.

And Nine Phoenix herself couldn't even see it!

Not just Nine Phoenix, even Ghost couldn't see it... S City, Xiangshan Villa.

A middle-aged woman wearing glasses walked down, exuding a capable and experienced aura.

She was the woman who had detonated the hydrogen bomb, You Mei.

As You Mei entered the villa, servants were already there to greet her.

"Madam, there is a visitor in the living room who says he is your creditor."

"Oh? With my net worth, I can still owe a debt?"

You Mei sneered and changed into a pair of flats before heading toward the drawing room.

Two bodyguards in sharp suits surrounded a young man. Seeing You Mei, they nodded in greeting.

You Mei looked at the young man; he was very handsome, and a silly-looking Little Yellow Chicken was perched on his shoulder.

"Mr. Xu Le, your presence is an honor. Please forgive my lack of a proper welcome!"

Xu Le glanced around and said indifferently, "You have so few people around you, and they're all ordinary humans. It doesn't quite match your status."

"Oh? You know who I am?" You Mei became interested.

After all, she only presented herself as an ordinary wealthy woman, not even making it into the national top 500.

Of course, in the shadows, she was the Hidden Immortal Society's contact person in Great Xia—below one organization, but above hundreds of millions.

Even when contacting local heads, she used a special satellite phone, making it almost impossible to be hacked.

Xu Le shook his head. "I don't. However, for someone who could detonate a hydrogen bomb to blow me up, this level of security is far from enough."

The two bodyguards' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at You Mei in disbelief. Their legs even went weak, nearly causing them to collapse.

Xu Le looked back. "You're acting well, but in front of a master actor, your skills are a bit lacking."

You Mei was truly shocked now. If finding her could be attributed to the satellite phone, seeing through the disguises of these two bodyguards should have been nearly impossible.

She frowned, her first thought being that someone had betrayed her.

Xu Le laughed. "Don't bother thinking. Nowadays, as long as I wish, almost no one in this world can hide from me."

You Mei suddenly realized. "You actually Cultivated the 'Star Pattern Deduction Technique' so quickly. You truly are a Genius seen only once in a century."

Now it was Xu Le's turn to be surprised.

He didn't expect her to know about this. Indeed, in front of truly powerful figures, it's hard for ordinary people to keep any secrets.

Xu Le: "Have you decided what you'll use to buy your life?"

You Mei adjusted her glasses and smiled. "Mr. Xu, I should be the one asking you that. Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Xu Le pointed around. "What is your reliance? Just them?"

You Mei nodded. "They are enough! After all, this is a world of technology. Even an immortal can fall if there are enough hydrogen bombs. Welcome to the trap I've meticulously laid. Let's introduce ourselves formally; my name is Tanaka Yumi!"

"Japanese?" Xu Le frowned. "I originally thought you might be useful, but I don't like seeing the men of Great Xia enslaved by Japanese people. You must die!"

He snapped his fingers, but no lightning fell.

"Xu-kun, this is my territory." Tanaka Yumi smiled radiantly and beckoned with her finger. The two bodyguards had already pulled out their guns and aimed them at Xu Le.

"Xu-kun, are you willing to join the Hidden Immortal Society and resist the Heavenly Dao together? As long as you agree, I will spare your life."

"Unfortunately, you are Japanese. Even if you surrender, I won't let you live." Xu Le was not flustered at all.

"Oh! This place is a Forbidden Zone of the Gods; even the nine Immortal Lords dare not set foot here. Does Xu-kun have any more trump cards?"

"I do. I bet there are no bullets in their guns!" Xu Le nodded.

The two bodyguards had a bad premonition and immediately pulled their triggers.

But they were slow!

Far, far too slow!

Even though the triggers were right under their fingers and they were well-trained, compared to Nine Phoenix, their speed was like a snail's.

She gently flapped her wings, and a gust of wind blew the two of them against the wall.

Before they could even hit the ground, she had already flown in front of them, swiftly extended her claws to flick their foreheads, and then zoomed back.

The whole movement took only a second; the eye could barely register it.

"This... this is..." Tanaka Yumi was stunned. Even though she had imagined Xu Le turning the tables in countless ways, she never thought it would be because of a chicken—and a Little Yellow Chicken that had just hatched, at that.

Xu Le introduced, "She is a Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix. You can call her Nine Phoenix."

"A Phoenix? A mythical creature of legend? How is that possible?" Tanaka Yumi was in disbelief.

In the Spirit Realm, there are many legendary mythical creatures with immense power. But they are all spirits; even if they can transform into human form, they are still spirits.

The rule of this world is that only spirits can Cultivate. Now, a mythical creature with a Physical Body has suddenly appeared—how could she believe it?

And yet, she had no choice but to believe!

She had inscribed a Restriction Formation here; no spiritual power could be used, leaving only pure physical strength.

Xu Le picked up the handgun from the floor and aimed it at the center of Tanaka Yumi's forehead.

Bang!

A sniper bullet pierced the glass, aiming for Xu Le's head.

Nine Phoenix appeared beside Xu Le in a flash and batted the bullet away with her wing.

The sniper was shocked. Just as he was about to aim again, a bullet pierced his forehead.

Xu Le curled his lip. "He doesn't even know to change positions after firing a shot. Your people are very unprofessional!"

Tanaka Yumi was about to speak when Xu Le pulled the trigger. The bullet entered her open mouth and exited through the back of her head.

Xu Le sighed. "I lost the bet! There were bullets in this gun."

The rest of the people in the villa rushed over. Even the cleaning lady was a well-trained special forces soldier. A total of thirty-six people arrived, carrying submachine guns.

However, in front of Nine Phoenix, these ordinary people with guns were just numbers... Meanwhile.

At a certain military district.

A text message popped up on Chu Xionghui's phone.

[Execute Plan B.]

Chu Xionghui stood up. A bold crow flew in through the window onto his desk and spat out a note from its mouth:

[Dropping a hydrogen bomb on S City and killing millions of citizens—do you really want to be such a sinner?]}
