“The aura of that phoenix lingered here!”
“Try not to make too much noise, or it will be troublesome if we attract other powerful figures.”
“But we still need to seal off this space-time, we can't let it escape again.”
Throughout the heavens and earth, it was as if whispers were being spoken. Immediately afterward, a powerful supreme aura blanketed the valley, distorting its space. The flowers and plants within the valley were bent and broken under this immense pressure, and countless blossoms withered in an instant.
“Those flowers were planted by Sister Wuyue.”
Yao Xian’s expression changed again, her voice filled with anger.
Under the powerful aura of a Supreme, even spiritual herbs and sacred medicines would be destroyed, let alone ordinary flowers. This was only because the aura of those who came had not been fully released. Otherwise, this entire valley would have been turned into ruins. Clearly, they didn't want to cause too much commotion, and only used their supreme aura to seal off this space, preventing Little Phoenix from escaping.
Gu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed. Yun Wuyue loved flowers, especially the demonic spirit flowers of the Demon Realm. But this place was clearly not suitable for planting demonic spirit flowers, so she planted the flowers she liked instead.
“These damned people, they truly deserve to die.”
Gu Changsheng's voice was calm, but filled with a chilling indifference.
These people first injured Little Phoenix on such an important day, upsetting Yao Xian. Now they have also ruined Yun Wuyue's flower sea, leaving it scattered and broken. They truly have a death wish.
“Buzz!”
The space trembled violently, and five Supremes descended to the edge of the valley from five different directions. They immediately noticed the small courtyard in the center of the valley.
“There are people here!”
One of the Supremes was surprised. Their divine senses had swept across this entire area, but they had not discovered this small courtyard. However, they quickly didn't have time to be surprised.
They discovered Little Phoenix standing beside Yao Xian.
“Such a young Great Saint, definitely no more than two hundred years old!”
They also saw through Yao Xian's cultivation, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.
“Legend says that the phoenix is an auspicious bird. When it encounters a talented individual, it will condescend to acknowledge them as its master, protecting them when they are young. Once the master becomes strong, they will in turn become its protector.”
“That woman is so young, she must be the phoenix’s master. Everyone, this woman probably has an extraordinary background.”
Among the five Supremes, there was an old woman holding a dragon-headed cane, she cautiously reminded them.
As for Gu Changsheng, they ignored him.
They had probed Gu Changsheng’s cultivation, but couldn't discern anything. That meant there were only two possibilities: first, his cultivation was far too high compared to theirs; second, he was just a mortal.
At this moment, Gu Changsheng had his sleeves rolled up and was wearing an apron. Beside the well in front of him was a wooden basin, and in the basin were the rice bowls that had just been used to hold the food.
Since going into seclusion, Yao Xian had been responsible for cooking, and Gu Changsheng had been responsible for washing the dishes. So after finishing the meal, he put on his apron, originally planning to wash the dishes after giving Yao Xian her gift. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and someone came seeking death, so he naturally wouldn't take off his apron for the sake of those seeking death.
In his opinion, it was just dealing with a few ants, how could that be more important than washing the dishes?
Thus, in the eyes of these “high and mighty” Supreme experts, Gu Changsheng was just Yao Xian’s male servant, responsible for doing laundry, cooking, and warming her bed. This was not uncommon in the cultivation world, as many powerful female cultivators would keep some male servants for their own amusement.
They naturally wouldn't pay attention to a tool-like male servant.
But Yao Xian was already a Great Saint at such a young age, and they wouldn't believe it themselves if they said she had no background. So even though they had discovered the phoenix, they didn't immediately take action, but instead wanted to understand the actual situation. After all, some disciples of major forces would definitely have trump cards on them.
Such as a token to summon the powerful figures behind them. Although the phoenix was a treasure trove, they had lived for countless years and knew that they couldn't be hasty now.
In an instant, the divine senses of the five Supremes intertwined, and they ultimately decided to first figure out Yao Xian's identity.
“Little girl, who are you?”
The five Supremes came to the top of the courtyard, and one of them condescendingly asked Yao Xian, his tone arrogant. They were only wary of the power behind Yao Xian, not Yao Xian herself. A Great Saint was just an ant in front of a Supreme, no matter how young or talented.
They wouldn't become humble because they were wary of the power behind Yao Xian.
“Chirp chirp…”
Little Phoenix flew around Yao Xian, one of its wings pointing at the person who asked Yao Xian, it was complaining.
Yao Xian frowned slightly, she looked at that person and said, “My Little Phoenix says you plucked a few feathers from it.”
The person heard this, and said calmly, “So what if I did?”
Yao Xian was so angry that she laughed, she said, “The five of you Supremes bullying a child who is not yet an adult, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?”
Although Little Phoenix was born a Supreme and had followed Yao Xian for eighty years, the growth period of a phoenix was many times longer than that of a human. A hundred years was only one year for it. The current Little Phoenix was not mentally mature, just a child, so when it was wronged, it didn't think about solving it itself, but instead came back to find its parents.
Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian were its parents.
However, the five people had lived for countless years, so naturally they would not be provoked by Yao Xian's obvious mockery. Another person slowly said, “Little girl, the phoenix is a treasure trove, it’s a case of inviting disaster by possessing a treasure. Keeping it by your side will attract great misfortune.”
“Great misfortune, are you talking about yourselves?”
Gu Changsheng said lightly.
“A servant, what right do you have to speak here?” That person scolded.
“Servant?” Yao Xian’s expression flickered strangely when she heard this.
And Gu Changsheng was also stunned, and then noticed his attire, and then understood their thoughts.
After that person scolded Gu Changsheng, he continued to say to Yao Xian, “Although your servant is rude, what he said is not bad. Today, the five of us are here for this phoenix. Little girl, if you don’t want to attract great misfortune, then honestly hand it over to us.”
Yao Xian heard this, and couldn't help but sneer, “I won’t hand it over, so what? Are you going to attack me? If you dared, you would have already attacked, instead of standing here and arguing with a little cultivator who only has the cultivation of a Great Saint.”
“Looks like you are wary of the power behind me, right?”
Faced with Yao Xian's questioning, the five Supremes' expressions changed slightly.
Yao Xian saw this, and couldn't help but mock, “Looks like I guessed right. Since that's the case, I will honestly tell you, I come from the Yaochi Immortal Domain, my parents are both True Immortals, no, my father should have already advanced to Immortal King at this time, and my family's ancestor is also an Immortal King.”
“Do you still dare to attack?”
Yao Xian coldly scanned the five Supremes. She didn't like to use her power to suppress others, but at this time, she really wanted to know what these five people would do after knowing her identity.
Sure enough, when the five Supremes learned that Yao Xian had two Immortal Kings behind her, their expressions changed drastically.
They had thought that the power behind Yao Xian was very strong, but two Immortal Kings, they didn't even dare to think about it.
“What to do?” Someone transmitted his voice.
“Do you really believe what she said? You must know that the Yaochi Immortal Domain is separated from our Bright Moon Immortal Domain by more than a dozen Immortal Domains, maybe she deliberately fabricated it in order to protect herself.”
“What if it’s true?”
“…”
“If it's true, then we can't let her go even more. We have already become enemies with her. If we let her go back, it is hard to guarantee that she will not invite the strong from her clan. At that time, not only will we be in danger, but our families behind us will also be in danger.”
“My suggestion is to kill, completely destroy this place, and not leave any aura behind.”
This divine sense came from the only woman among the five, she held a dragon-headed cane, and her eyes were full of killing intent.
The others were shocked, but soon they understood what the old woman meant. Since they had already become enemies, then they should do it thoroughly. This place was infinitely far away from the Yaochi Immortal Domain, even an Immortal King could not deduce what happened here.
“Kill!”
The four agreed, and as their divine senses descended, they were about to attack Yao Xian.
“Boom!”
A loud noise fell, and before they could attack, they discovered that the old woman's body had exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Their pupils shrank, and they didn't know why this happened.
“I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered a sentence, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman.”
A faint voice sounded.
The remaining four people immediately turned their gazes to Gu Changsheng.
“It's… you?”
They looked at Gu Changsheng in horror. Could it be that he made the move? Impossible, this was just a male servant, how could he be so strong?
Gu Changsheng ignored them, but said to Yao Xian, “Wife, the sentence just now doesn't include you, don't be angry.”
“Why would I be so petty?” Yao Xian glared at him, it was already this time, and he still had the mood to joke with her, she naturally knew that Gu Changsheng was talking about the old woman.
“Hehe!”
Gu Changsheng smiled, and then said, “Originally today was your birthday, and it was not suitable to see blood, but I really couldn't help it.”
Yao Xian shook her head and said, “They destroyed Sister Wuyue's flower sea, I think if their blood is used to irrigate this flower sea, then more beautiful flowers will definitely grow in the future.”
“Good idea!”
Gu Changsheng gave a thumbs up.
“Run!”
The remaining four people roared and scattered like birds, each leaving towards a side of the heaven and earth. At this moment, if they still regarded Gu Changsheng as a servant, then they were really stupid to the extreme.
But why does a strong person like you dress like a servant? This doesn't make sense.
“They run really well, so I don't have to deliberately distribute the blood evenly.”
Gu Changsheng's thoughts moved, and the remaining four people were like fireworks, blooming brilliant blood flowers in the air, turning into a rain of blood, irrigating the flowers in this valley.
“Chirp chirp!”
Little Phoenix saw that the five people who bullied it were all dead, and happily flew around Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng touched the little guy's head, and helped it heal its injuries.
“Chirp chirp!”
Little Phoenix affectionately rubbed its head against Gu Changsheng's cheek, full of joy.
“Go play, be careful!” Gu Changsheng smiled.
Little Phoenix nodded and flew into the sky, not knowing where it went to play.
Gu Changsheng said to Yao Xian, “Wife, please wash this bowl for me, I'm going out to do something.”
“You want to?”
Yao Xian looked at him.
Gu Changsheng nodded.
“Then you can also buy some flower seeds for me at the market.” Yao Xian said.
“Okay!”
Gu Changsheng responded and left.
……
Falling Cloud Sect!
One of the True Immortal forces affiliated with the Moonflower Holy Land.
“Report!”
At this time, a figure rushed into the Sect Master's Hall.
“What's the matter with being so flustered?”
Inside the hall, a middle-aged man was meditating. He opened his eyes and looked at the person with displeasure.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, the Jin family, Wang family, Song family, Yu family, and Bei family, all five families have been completely destroyed today.” The person said.
“What?”
Falling Cloud True Immortal looked at the person in shock.
“What exactly is going on?” Falling Cloud True Immortal's voice couldn't help but increase by eight degrees. These five families were all affiliated families of their Falling Cloud Sect, and every year they would transport cultivation geniuses to the Falling Cloud Sect. The best of these geniuses would also have the opportunity to enter the Moonflower Holy Land for potential training.
The main task of the Falling Cloud Sect was to transport geniuses to the Moonflower Holy Land. As long as someone could successfully pass the Moonflower Holy Land's assessment, then their Falling Cloud Sect could receive generous rewards.
Rewards were secondary, the most important thing was the network of relationships. Now a True Immortal high-level from the Moonflower Holy Land came from the Falling Cloud Sect, which made the Falling Cloud Sect stand out among the other True Immortal sects that were also affiliated forces.
Now that the five major families were destroyed, it was not only hitting the Falling Cloud Sect's face, but also hitting the Moonflower Holy Land's face. How could Falling Cloud True Immortal not be angry?
But the person shook his head and said, “This subordinate does not know, but a huge palm print was left on the scene, and no one from the five major families survived.”
“Impossible, the five major families all have Supremes sitting in town. Even a True Immortal could not silently destroy them, unless it was an Immortal King. Except for the Holy Land, there are Immortal King powerhouses, impossible, the Holy Land is impossible to take action.” Falling Cloud True Immortal shook his head.
“Sect Master, do you think it could be the Demonic Sect?” The person cautiously opened his mouth.
“Are you saying, the Sun Moon Demonic Sect that was suppressed by Moonflower Immortal King back then?” Falling Cloud True Immortal frowned.
The person nodded and said, “It is rumored that the Sun Moon Demonic Sect's leader did not die, but was seriously injured by Moonflower Immortal King and fled the Bright Moon Immortal Domain. Now that so many years have passed, I am afraid that his injuries have healed. Now that he has returned, it may be to seek revenge on Moonflower Immortal King.”
Falling Cloud True Immortal frowned when he heard this. He said, “You can go down first, I will report this matter to the Holy Land.”
“Yes!” The person nodded and left the Sect Master's Hall.
After the person left, Falling Cloud True Immortal's divine sense swept across all directions, confirming that no one was around, and then built a barrier to isolate the main hall from the outside world, and then took out a special communication jade slip.
He injected a divine sense into the communication jade slip. After a long time, the communication jade slip responded.
“What's the matter?” A low voice came from the jade slip.
“What's wrong with you? Didn't you say to act in secret? Why did you make such a big commotion? And it's still in the area I manage.” Falling Cloud True Immortal's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
“What are you talking about? What big commotion?” The voice over there was still low, but it was a little more puzzled.
“Didn't you take action to destroy the Jin family, Wang family, Song family, Yu family, and Bei family?” Falling Cloud True Immortal asked.
"What? They were wiped out?" The voice on the other end was equally surprised.
Hearing this, True Immortal Luo Xia frowned. "Could it be that you were the ones who did it?"
"Nonsense, of course not. Why would we wipe them out?" The tone on the other end was decisive.
"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" True Immortal Luo Xia asked.
"You're asking me?" The tone from the jade slip was quite displeased.
"Stop talking nonsense. In the Bright Moon Immortal Realm today, besides Moonflower Holy Land being able to silently wipe them out, it would be your Sun Moon Sect." True Immortal Luo Xia said unhappily.
"Then it's possible that Moonflower Holy Land really made a move?" The tone on the other end was sinister, filled with disgust and hatred when mentioning Moonflower Holy Land.
"Impossible!" True Immortal Luo Xia's tone was equally firm.
"Then it must be that they offended a powerful expert and were then obliterated." The voice was gloomy, like that of a vengeful ghost.
"..."
True Immortal Luo Xia wanted to say something, but the other party said, "If there's nothing else, let's leave it at that. Five Supreme families, such a small matter is worth contacting us."
"..."
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the other party dared to disconnect, True Immortal Luo Xia cursed directly. His subordinates had already associated it with the Sun Moon Sect, and with the destruction of the five Supreme families within his jurisdiction, he would be investigated sooner or later if he didn't report it to Moonflower Holy Land.
He contacted the other party just to discuss how to report it, but before he could finish speaking, they disconnected, which almost infuriated him to death.
"Son of a b*tch, I'll just report it like this."
True Immortal Luo Xia left Luo Xia Sect and headed to Moonflower Holy Land.
Meanwhile, our instigator was haggling with an old woman at the market.
"Auntie, look at how many flower seeds I'm buying, you have to give me a discount, right?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Handsome, it's already very cheap. If I go any lower, I won't make any profit," The old woman was clearly an expert.
But Gu Changsheng was still one step ahead, successfully bargaining down to half price by threatening not to buy if it was too expensive.
After paying the Origin Crystals, Gu Changsheng left carrying a large bag of flower seeds.
And the old woman happily counted the Origin Crystals, even at half price, she was still making a profit.
