Chapter 285: [The Top of the Dead and the Living] Phoenix Starts the Day

As the silver bracelet broke, a distant phoenix cry rang out, and tongues of fire formed into glowing bird feathers behind Madam Wang, and in an instant the red light rose, the fierce and violent spirit flowing like lava rushing to the sky, swallowing everything.

She stood in the fire and lifted her slender hand, into which a large stream of fire immediately gathered and hissed in her palm.

"What's going on? Isn't she spiritually weak?"

" Xue Zhengyong married a woman who was clearly unable to learn magic... what happened to her?"

Xue Meng almost creepily: "Mother"

Jiang Xi also stepped forward and said in a stern voice, "Stop what happened today, why did you go to such an extent?

It had been a long time since anyone had called Madame Wang by her little word, and an indefinable emotion flashed through her eyes, which were red with fire, but it soon faded away as she looked at Jiang Xi: "Master Jiang, if I don't go this far, will you back off?"

""

"Will they let go of the top of death and life and Xue Meng?"

Jiang Xi gritted his teeth and said, "You stop first, everything else can be discussed."

The King's wife shook her head: "I have been cut out of your hearts once, and I am lying dead before the Loyalty Palace, not a third time."

"The First Clear"

"That's the end of it, Master Jiang."

As the phoenix roared, the hem of Madame Wang's garment fluttered violently, and the pupils of her eyes gradually took on a blood-red hue. A sharp-eyed person noticed that an orange-red light began to emanate from around her waist, and it came out through her clothes, so she exclaimed, "What is that?"

Jiang Xi cursed and turned back to everyone and barked, "Get off the mountain!"

"But it's not over yet, Xue Meng is still"

"Stay if you want to die" Jiang Xi said angrily, "This is Lonely Moonlit's Phoenix Skyfire you want to die"

Once they heard the words Phoenix Heavenly Fire, almost everyone was as pale as dirt in a flash Lonely Moonlit It is a well known fact that high ranking female disciples can detonate Phoenix Heavenly Fire in times of danger by tattooing a phoenix tattoo on their waist. However, no one had ever seen this evil fire with their own eyes.

For the price to be paid is too great, at least a lifetime of cultivation, at most a life in danger.

The crowd of monks rushed out of the Loyalty Palace in a panic, like dogs in distress, and scrambled towards the foot of the mountain, leaving few people left in the hall where swords had been drawn.

Jiang Xi hadn't left yet, the silk ribbon that bound his hair tossing in the wind as he looked back at Madam Wang: "Your spirit core simply can't take it."

He was almost a little puzzled, narrowing the pupils of his brown eyes.

It seems angry and sad.

"Your kind of tyrannical spirit core, point Phoenix Heavenly Flame you can protect your son today, but what about after that"

"If I don't explode the heavenly fire, I won't even be able to protect my son's peace today." The flames in Lady Wang's body grew stronger and stronger, and once this evil fire was ignited, it was bound to explode and could not be extinguished.

She walked up the jade steps and stood where Xue Zhengyong had smilingly stood countless times during his lifetime, her crimson eyes sweeping over all the disciples and elders at the top of the Hall of Death and Life.

"My fellow disciples." She curtsied, "Before Zheng Yong was born, and I, we both believed in the truth of what Mo Ran said when we parted. Today, the Tianyin Pavilion has acted in many strange ways. You have all seen the truth, and I think you have already made up your minds about what is right and what is wrong."

The crowd of disciples countenanced, a pair of eyes looking at this woman who used to be as soft as cattails.

Starbursts splattered her robe with brilliant light and dappled shadows.

"For more than twenty years, the Top of Death and Life has been a sect, and has never harmed an innocent person or done injustice. However, I am too weak to tell the truth and return to justice. I have three requests to make today, and I hope that you will be kind enough to help me, for the sake of our friendship."

The disciples all lowered their eyes and said with tears in their eyes, "I am at your service, Madam."

Xue Meng choked back a sob and murmured, "Mother."

"After the Phoenix Heavenly Flame bursts, it will not be extinguished for at least three days, and no one else can get close to it. The first thing I want you all to do is to preserve your lives and leave the peak of death and life for the time being, and make your own lives."

"This."

Greedy Wolf shook his head and said, "I would rather keep the sect dead than be scattered as a walking dog."

Lady Wang smiled at this and said, "This is not a dog walking loose. I have heard a saying from the Immortal Master of Confucianism School Nangong Changying in the past, and it is very true."

She looked at all the disciples and elders in the hall, just as she had done on any previous occasion when she appeared before them, and her crimson gaze suddenly became a gentle flow of water, brimming with light.

" Nangong Changying once said that whether the School of Confucianism is established or not, as long as there are still people in the world who keep greed and grievance and deceit and murder and plunder, it is my Confucianism gentleman's seven imperatives that his school will not perish." After a pause, Madam Wang said, "I have picked up his words, and what I want to say today is the same."

"Madam."

"Leave, and when the truth is known and everything is settled, you may return to this place if you still wish."

No one said much in the hall for a while, except for the young disciples who drank tears of sorrow and wet their heavy shirts.

Madam Wang said, "The second thing is to ask you not to make things difficult for Mo Ran and Yu Heng. I believe that they have acted with good intentions, and I believe that Mo Ran's words are not false."

With the elders as their leaders, the disciples bowed their heads and said in a deep voice, "The disciples of the Top of Death and Life will never make an enemy of Duke Mo, Elder Yu Heng."

"Then, the third piece." Lady Wang sighed, "I fear that the Gate of Life and Death in Time and Space, as Mo Ran said, will open not later, when"

She paused, seemingly momentarily confused as to whether her insistence was right or wrong.

But still, he went on slowly: "I hope that you will be able to help each other and the people of Xianxia."

Greedy Wolf, with his fierce temper, could not help but say angrily at this moment, "What is there to protect those beasts that bite back"

"Her Ladyship was away and had no idea how disgusting those people's faces were."

" There are so many people in Lower Fairy World, goons and villains, and good intentions may not always be rewarded." Lady Wang said softly, "But Zheng Yong set up his faction back then, not to receive praise and gratitude, but to not be ashamed of his one true heart."

The pupils of her eyes grew scarlet and the phoenix tattoo around her waist grew brighter.

Lady Wang stood in the blazing fire: "Gentlemen, this red earth is so vast that the word "fair" is too vague. But even so, to do what is righteous and what is in my heart is still a small thing that we can do with our small bodies."

She closes her eyes and sighs softly.

"Therefore, if, because of the dozens of traitors, because of the injustice they suffered, the summit of death and life had become a place where people's lives were disregarded and became a second Confucianism School, that would be the most deplorable thing for Jung Yong."

"We cannot change evil, nor do we have an eye to see through hearts. But at least we can do it, and don't let malice and hatred change us."

Lady Wang concluded with a faint smile, "May you all, in this life, have a heart that will never change."

The words fell, and the flames deceived the sky.

The seal of the Phoenix Flame was finally lifted, and a powerful force poured out of Lady Wang's seemingly lean body, and all of a sudden a wave of heat and flame burst from the Loyalty Palace like a mountain torrent, surging forward with a huge bang!

Green Heavenly Hall, Dancing Sword Pine, Mengpo Court, Naihe Bridge, two peaks, a pool of river, Frost Palace, red lotus water pavilion

In an instant, all was enveloped in spiritual fire.

These flames are able to know the will of the master, and for every blade of grass and tree at the top of death and life, they are all wrapped but not burned, just like the elders and disciples who are still standing in the hall at this moment, who are caught in the sea of fire but are not burned by the heavenly fire.

Madam Wang said, "Let's go."

No one moved.

She then sighed and urged the crowd again, "Let's go, what are we doing standing around? Come on, let's all go."

It was only after many repetitions that one after another, with heads bowed, people slowly left. The Loyalty Palace gradually emptied and at the end, Xue Meng and Jiang Xi were the only ones left.

Jiang Xi gave her one last look and turned to leave, but Madam Wang called out to him, "Wait a minute."

"You have an afterlife to explain."

In the light of the fire, the look on Madam Wang's face was not so clear, sometimes bright, sometimes cold, sometimes warm. She hesitated for a long time, as if she was suffering from some kind of inner torment, and finally she closed her eyes, put her heart into it, and said softly, "Brother, come closer, I have something to say to you."

Both Xue Meng and Jiang Xi were stunned by this statement.

Xue Meng could not imagine what Madam Wang had to tell Jiang Xi alone at this time. Jiang Xi obviously thought so too, as he narrowed his pupils slightly and did not move.

Although he and Madam Wang were siblings, they went their separate ways and had not met in private for many years. He was also a member of Xue Zhengyong's new mourning group, and he was also a member of the group that claimed the summit of death and life.

Jiang Xi said, "If there's anything, let's talk about it here."

""

"There's nothing you and I can't tell to others."

When Madame Wang saw that she could not persuade Jiang Xi, she turned to Xue Meng and said, "Xue Meng, you go down the mountain first. I have a few words to say to Master Jiang alone."

"Mother."

"Get on with it, this is none of your business."

Xue Meng's face was dirty and covered in blood, tears streaming down his face and washing out mark after mark, he woefully wiped his cheeks and choked out, "I don't want to go you're all here I don't want to go anywhere I just want to be with you"

"If you don't want to leave, go to Frost Palace and wait." Madam Wang sighed, "Once Mother has finished with Master Jiang, I will take your father there."

""

Her face was already very pale and blood was seeping out of the corners of her mouth, she knitted her brows and coughed softly, saying softly, " Xue Meng listen to me"

Xue Meng kept shaking her head and wiping her tears with her hands, but she knew that her mother had exploded with the Phoenix Flame and would not live long, so she should not go against her wishes and trample on her last moments.

He eventually left, leaving Lonely Moonlit as the only two siblings left in the large Loyalty Palace.

After Xue Meng's departure, the last breath of air that had been supporting Madame Wang was dispersed, and she fell into a crumpled position on her Chinese seat, no longer looking as calm as she had earlier.

She stared at the table before her for a long, long time, tears streaming down her lamb's soft cheeks, before she began to cough violently and vomit blood.

Jiang Xi stood where he was, he saw Madam Wang coughing up blood and seemed to want to come forward, but in the end he remained motionless. After a moment more, he said, "There is no one else here, what do you want to say."

Mrs. Wang coughed so hard that she couldn't answer for a while.

Jiang Xi saw this, his eyebrows knitted together and said with a gloomy face, "Due to your cultivation back then, your spirit core became increasingly tyrannical, and later on it was difficult to even continue practicing spells, not to mention that detonating the Phoenix Heavenly Flame would have killed you."

Mrs. Wang took a breather, her eyelashes moistened, and looked at the counter, her eyes a little blank: "Yes, I know."

The sea of fire is like a tidal wave that reaches them but does not burn them. Between her and Jiang Xi, a scarlet sea separates them.

"So what else do you have to say?"

""

"If there is nothing wrong with you, I will leave."

Jiang Xi waited for a few moments, but when he saw that she was still silent, he finally lost patience.

He turned to leave, but heard a soft thud.

"Shifu."

Flames fly as red dust rolls.

"Do you despise Xue Meng?"

Jiang Xi's heart was not only upset by her uninformed comment, but also by the words, "What?"

"The first time you met him at the School of Confucianism, you had a fight with him. If I hadn't come afterwards, I'm afraid you would have had to fight with him." Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "Master, it is true that he is not too good-natured, but please do not take it personally with him for the sake of his being so similar to you when you were young."

Jiang Xi didn't react for a moment, he turned his face sideways and asked, "What do you mean?"

The silence was like a thundercloud over the two of them, as if at any moment the rain would pour down and the sky and earth would change.

In this silence, Jiang Xi suddenly remembered an incident from his youth, and his heart beat fiercely, but his face grew colder. He did not say a word, his fingers balled into fists, waiting for Madame Wang to speak.

" Xue Meng "

Lady Wang sighed softly, but it was like purple lightning cracking the sky and thunder breaking through the air

" Xue Meng, he is actually very similar to you. Do you understand, senior brother"

Even though he had some foreknowledge, Jiang Xi's mind buzzed when he heard the words, and his thoughts suddenly went blank.

Who is like him

Xue Meng

The young man who was rude and disrespectful every time he saw him and who despised him to the bone

Ridiculous

Jiang Xi chewed on her meaning, the dusty truths breaking apart like cracked ice. Jiang Xi's face is motionless, but her blood is cold.

He almost shuddered a little, and felt extremely ridiculous.

He turned back suddenly and stared hard at Madame Wang's face, thinking he had misheard, but he knew it was never possible. The words were soft, but they were clear as water, and they came racing towards him through the blazing fire.

Before his eyes, it became a horrific wave.

" Jiang Yechen ." Mrs. Wang slowly, lifted her wet lashes and looked at him with a pair of dark pupils, " Xue Meng, he is your child."
