"She really is of Fire Phoenix Birth!"
Zi Lian’s uncle sighed with emotion. The rest of the events below had made sure of that.
Lu Ling had no cultivation experience. All her energy channels were blocked, and she had consumed no pellets. After being burnt to death by such thrilling fire, how could she come back alive so soon? Apart from the fact that she was of a rarely-seen Fire Phoenix Birth in legend, there could be no other explanations.
"Fire Phoenix Birth?"
Yu Feijia heard people talking about this, and his sword-like eyebrows were raised. He understood very well the marvel of such Heaven and Earth Grade births origins. He once acquired an ancient book which had descriptions of various kinds of Heaven and Earth Grade Birth origins.
Fire almost came out of his eyes all of a sudden. He thought about it and said, "You from the Palace of Goddess. Since she had killed Zhao Gui, then she must be turned over to me!"
"Hmm!"
Ghost Snake Granny snorted. She looked up and said, "I find this Fire Phoenix Birth first. Anyone who wants to take her from me is my enemy."
Yu Feijia was enraged. He replied in a cold voice, "This is not the Cyan Plains you come from. This is the Northern Desert. I know that the Palace of Goddess is powerful, but a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts."
Ghost Snake Granny thought otherwise. She answered, "That is true. But in the Northern Desert, you are not qualified to call yourself a snake yet."
Lu Ling had opened her eyes, but she was incredibly weak. Her eyelashes and eyelids were burnt, and her eyes could not open completely, only an inch. There was confusion in her eyes. Didn’t she die? Why was she hearing people talking?
She squinted and looked for a bit. Looking at Ghost Snake Granny before her eyes, she suddenly opened her burnt mouth with efforts and uttered a few words feebly, "Who… are you?"
Hearing Lu Ling’s voice, Ghost Snake Granny paid no more attention to Yu Feijia. Her wrinkled face was now full of smile, like a kind grandma. She answered gently, "Don’t be afraid of me, dear. I am the Ghost Snake Granny from the Palace of Goddess. I will not hurt you. On the contrary, I will bring you back to the Palace of Goddess and present you with an extraordinary opportunity."
Lu Ling seemed to understand what was going on. She continued with difficulty after a pause, "You… can… bring… me… anywhere… but… you… must… get… my… brother… as… well!"
Lu Ling could not get out these words easily nor could she speak in a loud voice. Still, Ghost Snake Granny managed to get it. Her smile froze. She shook her head with determination and replied, "The Palace of Goddess never recruit male disciples. No man can enter the Goddess Valley. This is a rule set forth by the first-generation of Palace Master. So… no!"
The light died out in Lu Ling’s eyes. She did not know what happened after she was burnt. Why was she not dead? Why did this old lady wish to bring her back to the Palace of Goddess?
However, Lu Ling was exceptionally smart. She said feebly after only a few seconds, "Then kill the powerful warriors of the four families for me and Lord Yu. Then I will go back to the Palace of Goddess with you. Or else… even if you can bring me back, you will only have a dead person in your hands."
Ghost Snake Granny’s tone was tough. So it would seem that she was a very stubborn lady. She would not bring Lu Li along. That was for sure. Judging by her attitude and her tone, Lu Ling knew that Ghost Snake Granny would bring her along by force.
Lu Ling then had to come up with an idea that was not exactly the best solution, i.e., having Ghost Snake Granny kill the powerful warriors of the four families and Lord Yu. Then the Liu Family could live on and Lu Li would be safe consequently.
She was so weak now that she might pass out again in no time. Lu Ling did not have much time to say a lot to Ghost Snake Granny. This was the only thing Lu Ling could think of now. If Ghost Snake Granny said no, she would definitely have a dead body in her hands.
Seeing the stubbornness in Lu Ling’s eyes, Ghost Snake Granny hesitated. She stayed quiet for a bit and then made up her mind, "Okay. I promise you. But I cannot kill Yu Feijia. I can only defeat him for you."
"Whoosh!"
Lu Ling understood that this was as far as Ghost Snake Granny could go. Lu Ling blinked as a sign of agreement. Then Ghost Snake Granny shot up to the sky. Purple light glowed on her neck as a dark-purple snake mark showed. Powerful qi and energy spread from her, enveloping the entire county.
"Um…"
Zi Lian and Ye Yuhan had their expressions changed. Their escorts standing in front controlled their chariots to go backwards quickly.
Yu Feijia also changed his expressions. A sword blade mark emerged on his neck. He was on his guard for all possible dangers.
As for the warriors that were still fighting down on the ground, they were all suppressed by Ghost Snake Granny’s powerful qi and energy and were afraid to move.
