168: Phoenix, Zhan Junmo

A rift appeared in the Void Realm of the Primal Ancient Land, and the nine dragon carriage emerged from the rift.

"Today's Intel (Orange): Tens of thousands of miles away, there is a top-tier Spirit Medicine, a Six-Leaf Mysterious Ginseng."

"Today's Intel (cyan): Deep within a fissure in the earth's core, a hundred thousand miles away, lies the Heaven And Earth Treasure, earth core liquid. The earth core liquid can nourish the Primordial Spirit and enhance magical power. One month later, Lu Yun will arrive at the Primal Ancient Land and obtain the earth core liquid."

"Today's Intel (cyan): A hundred thousand miles away, there is an Archaic Variant Species, a Gold-Devouring Beast. The Gold-Devouring Beast can produce mysterious gold sand, which is a top-tier Materials for refining Sacred Artifacts."

... The System issued several Opportunity intel reports in a row, one of which belonged to Lu Yun.

There was no other way. Since he encountered it, he could only intercept it.

A Woman in Red nearby saw the nine dragon carriage. "Who is he? What a grand display! Nine Nirvana Realm Cultivation Level flood dragons pulling a carriage. Even the Immortal Holy Land's Emperor's Son is no more than this."

The Woman in Red had an idea. She stepped forward proactively, "May I ask which Emperor's Son has graced the Primal Ancient Land with his presence? This humble one is Liu Ruyan, a Disciple of the Taiyin Holy Land, and I wish to follow at the Emperor's Son's side and serve him."

Oh my.

Are the women in Zhongzhou all this open-minded?

She offered herself up the moment they met.

Jiang Yunfan was not interested in such a woman. Liu Ruyan—just hearing the name, he knew she was the type of fickle woman. "You are not qualified to serve me."

Jiang Yunfan left in the nine dragon carriage.

Liu Ruyan was furious. Her beauty was unparalleled in the Taiyin Holy Land; she was the most beautiful woman in the Taiyin Holy Land. In terms of looks alone, she could rank among the top ten on the hundred flowers ranking.

Women who could make it onto the hundred flowers ranking not only needed peerless beauty but also extremely high Aptitude and background.

"Only a man like this is worthy of me, Liu Ruyan. I must find you and become your woman."

Liu Ruyan had many admirers, but she never gave them a second glance. Only those Saints were worthy of her attention. Now that she had met an Emperor's Son, Saints were no longer her first choice.

"Today's Intel (red): The Host's overly high-profile appearance has attracted the attention of Liu Ruyan, who possesses 'mistress' factors. In the future, Liu Ruyan will incessantly pester the Host."

Jiang Yunfan was bewildered upon receiving the intel.

What in the world is this?!

Being high-profile actually attracted a romantic entanglement.

But it was a bad one.

The System's assessment was quite fair; Liu Ruyan was naturally a mistress.

"System, give me Ji Yao's location intel."

"Today's Intel (Orange): Ji Yao is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Host (map has been transmitted)."

Jiang Yunfan opened the System map, found Ji Yao's location, and headed in her direction in the nine dragon carriage.

Ji Yao found a Phoenix Bird's nest.

The Phoenix Bird is an Archaic Variant Species, possessing the Phoenix Bloodline.

Many Variant Species, even Archaic Variant Species, live in the Primal Ancient Land. Opportunities are everywhere, but they are also accompanied by dangers. Within the Primal Ancient Land, there are even terrifying Variant Species with Saint Realm Cultivation Level. Many powerful cultivators who came to the Primal Ancient Land for training have died there.

The Phoenix Bird in the nest sensed someone approaching. It attacked Ji Yao with extreme speed. Ji Yao released Nirvana Divine Fire to burn the Phoenix Bird. The Phoenix Bird opened its mouth and spewed out a flame to resist the Nirvana Divine Fire.

Suddenly, a pagoda suppressed the Phoenix Bird.

The Phoenix Bird was restrained by the prison suppressing divine pagoda.

Jun Mo appeared.

Ji Yao glared at Jun Mo. She conjured a phoenix feather and attacked the prison suppressing divine pagoda. The prison suppressing divine pagoda was sent flying, allowing the Phoenix Bird to escape.

Jun Mo explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't come to snatch the Phoenix Bird from you. I came to help you subdue it."

"No need."

Ji Yao unleashed the xuanhuang indestructible bell.

Dong!

A bell chime rang out, and the Phoenix Bird's Primordial Spirit was attacked.

The Phoenix Bird attacked Ji Yao but could not break through the xuanhuang indestructible bell's defense.

Bell chimes continuously rang out. The Phoenix Bird's Primordial Spirit was wounded and fell from the sky.

That was the xuanhuang indestructible bell.

Jun Mo was shocked. He recognized that the Divine Ability Ji Yao used was the Supreme Divine Ability xuanhuang indestructible bell, and he guessed that Ji Yao had obtained the Legacy of Emperor Xuanhuang.

Ji Yao came before the Phoenix Bird, "I will not enslave you. Let's sign a Spirit Pet Contract."

The Phoenix Bird nodded. A drop of blood flew out from its body. Ji Yao also forced out a drop of blood. The two drops of blood merged, and Ji Yao recited the Archaic Spirit Pet Contract.

The Phoenix Bird and Ji Yao successfully signed the Spirit Pet Contract.

Ji Yao took out a yun shen pill and threw it to the Phoenix Bird. The Phoenix Bird swallowed the yun shen pill in one gulp, and its wounded Primordial Spirit quickly recovered.

Jun Mo stepped forward to congratulate her, "Congratulations on subduing the Phoenix Bird."

Ji Yao warned coldly, "Don't follow me again, or I won't be polite."

Jun Mo said, "Ji Yao, the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you. Why do you keep me a thousand miles away?"

"Because she is taken, she has a husband."

A voice came.

Hearing this familiar voice, a look of surprise appeared on Ji Yao's cold face. She turned her head and saw the nine dragon carriage. The person she longed for was sitting on the nine dragon carriage.

"Yunfan."

Ji Yao flew onto the nine dragon carriage. Jiang Yunfan opened his arms and embraced her, "Yaoer, I missed you so much."

"Me too."

Jiang Yunfan leaned in to kiss Ji Yao, completely ignoring Jun Mo, the third wheel.

Seeing this scene, Jun Mo felt murderous intent. He condensed a Purple Lightning Saber and attacked Jiang Yunfan. The Purple Lightning Saber was blocked by the flood dragons before it could get close.

Jiang Yunfan and Ji Yao separated. Ji Yao said coldly, "Jun Mo, how dare you attack my husband."

Ji Yao conjured a phoenix feather and attacked Jun Mo. Jun Mo blocked the phoenix feather with the prison suppressing divine pagoda. He looked at Ji Yao with shock in his eyes, "You want to kill me."

"You want to kill my husband, so I will kill you."

Jun Mo didn't expect Ji Yao to be so protective of this man. He felt jealous. "I am the Young Lord of the Jun family. If you are sensible, leave Ji Yao on your own."

Jiang Yunfan scoffed, "Threatening me? The Jun family? This Emperor's Son doesn't even put them in his eyes."

"You are an Emperor's Son."

"Didn't you see my grand display? Only an Emperor's Son is worthy of such a grand display. I warn you, don't harass Yaoer again, or I will make your life worse than death."

"Aren't you an Emperor's Son? Do you dare to fight me? If I lose, I will never pester Ji Yao again. If you lose, then you will leave Ji Yao and never see her again."

"What a joke. She is my wife. How could I use her as a stake? If you want to fight, then fight. I will accompany you to the end."

Without another word, Jiang Yunfan transformed his Heavenly Sword Intent into a majestic Heavenly might, pressing down on Jun Mo. Jun Mo's Cultivation Level was suppressed by thirty percent.

Major Achievement Sword Intent.

Jun Mo was horrified. He unleashed the Archaic Heavenly Scripture, mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, using Heavenly might to resist Heavenly might.

"To be able to resist the Heavenly might transformed by Heavenly Sword Intent, you have some strength. Try taking one of my swords."

Heaven and earth changed color. A rift tore open in the Void Realm. The Sword of Heaven, carrying boundless Heavenly might, slashed towards Jun Mo.

"Heavenly Great Handprint."

A giant hand that covered the sky slapped towards the Sword of Heaven.

The two forces clashed.

The Void Realm was torn apart.

Jun Mo felt immense pressure. He frantically mobilized the power of heaven and earth to increase his strength. His Meridians and internal organs were damaged, and his Primordial Spirit also reached its limit.

Ji Yao was very shocked. She didn't expect Jiang Yunfan's strength to reach such a level in just one year. His combat power was even above hers.
