The Invincible Dragon Emperor - Chapter 89

"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.

If many warriors felt that the seven-colored Fate Wheel was like a formidable Xuan Beast, they now felt like the qi and energy of Ghost Snake Lady made her a supernatural evil!
"Ghost Snakes, out!"
Ghost Snake Granny shouted. The small dark purple snake on her neck shone with boundless dark radiance and so did the snake-like walking stick in her hands. Ghost Snake Granny threw her walking stick downward which, surprisingly, disassembled in midair and turned… into thousands of small black snakes.
"Swish, swish!"
Those small snakes pierced through the sky like bolts of lightning. They found warriors of the four families and sneaked into their bodies respectively.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
Then something that shocked all the warriors of the Liu Family happened—all the warriors that had the black snakes in their bodies, suddenly exploded and turned into minced fleshes, including the Family Patriarchs of the Chen and He Family who were at the Soul Pond Realm. They died in the same way.
"You from the Palace of Goddess, you are going over the line!"
Yu Feijia was furious. To kill so many people right under his nose was like a slap on his face. He was quite famous on the Northern Desert. How could he live up to his reputation from now on?
"Buzzing!"
The sword blade mark on his neck glowed. He had released his Bloodline Skill as well. Yet, before he did anything, the qi and energy from Ghost Snake Granny got even stronger, much stronger.
"You call yourself a snake around here based on this?"
Ghost Snake Granny snorted. She waved her two hands and the small snakes swarmed towards Yu Feijia and the two people next to him.
"Noble Lord Realm?"
Yu Feijia had just pulled his sword out but he put it back instantly. Without a second of hesitation, he shot towards the east like a shadow.
He was fast, but not Yu Hen, not to mention Zhao Xi who was only at the Xuan Wu Realm. Swiftly, black snakes got into the latter two’s bodies. Zhao Xi turned into a pile of minced flesh immediately. A pretty girl died. Yu Hen only held on for the time it took for one breath before he exploded and died too.
"Leave!"
Zi Lian, who was observing the fight in a distance, was scared to death. She did not have to courage to watch any longer. She had people controlling the Golden Chariot and left quickly. Ghost Snake Granny was not from the Northern Desert. She had already crossed the line by putting on a killing spree here. What if Ghost Snake Granny killed them all in case some powerful warrior of the Northern Desert would seek revenge?
"You from the Palace of Goddess, you have gone too far, too far! Just wait for our Family Patriarch to hunt you down!"
Yu Feijia had already left the Wu Ling County. He turned around and roared then continued to rush towards the distance. In the time for just several blinks, he had vanished into the mountains.
"Ha, ha!"
Clearly, Ghost Snake Granny did not put Yu Feijia’s threat on her mind. The black snakes flew towards her and re-assembled into the snake-shaped walking stick again.
She carried Lu Ling in her arms and flew up to the Iron-armored Ship in the sky. After some thoughts, she passed her words onto the Liu Family, "You must treat her brother well. If anything were to happen to him, I will kill you all."
It seemed that Ghost Snake Granny appreciated Lu Ling very much. She had left that warning to the Liu Family as a way to make Lu Ling relieved and to prevent her from seeking death.
With that said, Ghost Snake Granny flew to the Iron-armored Ship. The huge ship glowed and showed itself in the sky. Then it transformed into a virtual beast and disappeared in the southern sky in a very short time.
"Bang!"
Not long afterwards, a man crashed through a wall of a stone fort in the west yard of the Liu Family. His face and body were covered in blood. A large dent was on his chest. It was so miserable that one cannot bear seeing it.
He rolled around on the ground and struggled to stand up. He shouting constantly at the southern sky, "Sister, sister…"
