Realms In The Firmament

On the other side, Master Song saw how dangerous it was, but he was in danger as well, so he wasn’t sure if he could save Master Guan. The Hall of Returning Nature had sent a few powerful cultivators who could defeat the old master easily together, but Zhu Menghun had left. It was not so easy to put down the old master. However, Master Song was weak, and he couldn’t do anything to change the fact that they were going to die in the end. Two Saint Origin Stage cultivators of the Hall of Returning Nature were fighting Master Song at the moment. After the Red Phoenix defeated Master Guan, she would come to kill Master Song next.

What broke the two old masters’ hearts was the exclamation from the men behind their backs.

They were slaughtering their people.

People of the Hall of Returning Nature were all cold and calm, saying nothing. They were cruel like the vultures in the desert. Their eyes only showed indifference. It seemed they were used to seeing death.

Saint Origin Stage cultivators kept coming over to attack Master Song. Things became more difficult for the old man. The two old masters were losing it. Although they were fighting their best, they were tired. Enemies kept approaching, and they couldn’t even save their own people.

Master Guan was busy fighting the Red Phoenix, and he was going to die soon. Master Song had to face more and more powerful enemies.

The wounds on his bones kept bringing pain. The two old men were struggling. They knew they were going to die, and they were in despair at the moment.

The Red Phoenix was like dancing in the sky. Her face was calm, and her eyes were full of some kind of fever.

She was going to kill another powerful enemy.

It made her feel so good to control the enemy’s life.

“This is done. Red Phoenix, you are coming with us to hell!” Master Guan shouted.

Master Song suddenly made a turn, enduring the attacks from the enemies on his back, crazily rushing toward the Red Phoenix. He was laughing and saying, “Brothers, we are old! It should be a good story about us taking the Red Phoenix to death with us!”

Master Guan spat out blood but laughed casually.

The Red Phoenix coldly smiled, and her red shadow flashed. She actually got rid of Master Guan’s dragging attack and transformed into ten phantoms. The phantoms spoke at the same time and said, “Why struggle? I would love to see if you could actually kill the undying phoenix!”

Each phantom of her was like a real person. When they spoke, they spoke together. The old masters couldn’t tell the real one.

Master Guan was shocked.

“Phantom Illusion!”

He was shocked by the Red Phoenix’s incredible martial art!

Since the lady had such a special technique, the old masters were unable to bring her to death in the end.

The old masters bitterly smiled. They were going to make their last attempt on the phantoms, and to kill as many men as they could before death.

However, at this moment…

A glaring light flashed in the dark sky. Somebody forcibly arrived and stopped between the two sides of the battle!

“Stop!”

A clear voice sounded.

As the man spoke, two other men with black masks arrived, too.

People noticed that it was a broad stream of sword energy that stopped the fight.

The broad sword energy was thousands of feet wide. It took a few seconds before the light went off. As the sword energy was gone, people felt like thousands of people were leaving with the light…

A slim shadow of a man showed up before the Red Phoenix’s eyes. The clear voice sounded again. “Lady Red Phoenix, this must be fate. We met each other again so soon!”

The Red Phoenix was annoyed. She angrily said, “What does this have anything to do with you? Why do you interfere? Are you going to fight the Hall of Returning Nature?”

The man blandly smiled and said, “Please, my lady. The Hall of Returning Nature is huge. How am I going to fight you? I am a small figure. I am here to ask for the favor.”

The Red Phoenix was angry. “No way! Do you know how much we have done to get this done? Why would I give it up for you?”

The man blandly smiled and said, “Well, I am not asking you to do me a favor like a friend. I can’t force anybody to be my friend. However, I think I have the right to ask you for the debt you owe me.”

The Red Phoenix was shocked. She stared at the man and said, “Are you sure you want this? I am telling you. These men are not your people anymore… They belong to the Great Ye Army!”

The man nodded and said, “I know. I am sure. Just do as you promised me. After that, you don’t owe me anything.”

The Red Phoenix gritted her teeth. Apparently, she couldn’t make the decision.

However, the dark clouds were gathering over her head. A purple bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

That was the punishment from the heavens.

A promise must be kept. People who broke such a vow would be punished by the heavens.

In other words, if the Red Phoenix refused to do this, the punishment would hit her.

The Red Phoenix was hesitating. She had given the man her word, and now he wanted her to keep it. If she returned the favor now, the plan she had been working on for such a long time would fail. Moreover, it would bring the Hall of Returning Nature big troubles. They would never get a second chance like this anymore. However, if she broke the vow, she would be punished and die immediately!

The Red Phoenix hesitated for a while and then gritted her teeth. She angrily said, “Ye, you should remember what you just did. I will do you this favor, but from now on, I owe you nothing, and we are never going to be friends anymore!”
