Dance Of The Phoenix
191. Preparation

"If it wasn't for your subordinates promising to trouble me if it didn't help you, I couldn't be here." Jin Xiao said in an annoyed tone while sorting out the pills he was going to give Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena looked at him indifferently without saying anything.

Jin Xiao continued, "Your inner injuries are still in the light category. However, there are still many wounds that are healing, but are hampered because of the new kuka. I admit you're strong enough, but you really don't love yourself and you're troubling me."

"I'm not asking you to heal me." Gu Yuena replied with a sneer.

"This is your subordinate's request!"

Gu Yuena chuckled. "Will a Jin Xiao obey the subordinates' requests? I see, you appreciate me enough and take responsibility for not being able to help in battle."

Jin Xiao turned his eyeballs around, placed a porcelain bottle containing the pills he had broken, and said, "Drink every night and spend it. I don't care if you're really going to drink it or not, but at least don't waste my efforts."

"Good." Gu Yuena took the porcelain bottle, then kept it.

Jin Xiao watched Gu Yuena for a while. Looking at Gu Yuena's gray eyes, he sighed. "Some time ago King Bai came to see me, asking me to find a way to heal your eyes. I really don't understand how you can lose your sight."

"I gouged out my eyes."

".... You're totally nuts." Jin Xiao snorted. "Do I have to help restore the eyes you gouged out yourself? I think it's a waste of resources."

"You don't have to do it if you don't want to, I don't ask."

"You don't know how anxious King Bai is. He was even willing to do anything so that I could help you recover both of your eyes. Now, you're even saying that."

Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "Then, what should I say when someone shows reluctance? Do you expect me to beg?"

"...." - ".Jin Xiao did indeed feel that he had gone awry in front of Gu Yuena. Actually, he was quite pity and worry? But .. he wouldn't admit it.

He snorted in annoyance and said, "Turn yourself. Don't bother anyone else." He also left with a step.

Gu Yuena seemed to not care. Until Jin Xiao finally left, he smiled.

"The way he expresses his own feelings is very bad" he murmured.

Gu Yuena got up from the bench, then went out. He had another problem to solve regarding the fog-filled creature.

He went to the location of the fight that had just happened. The explosion caused a lot of damage. There was a large hole in the blast area in addition to the part protected by the turtle shell. Since the explosion could not get out through the formation, the explosion inside had a stronger effect than it should be to create a deep and dark abyss.

It's deeper than the big hole in Yuansu Palace. Gu Yuena went downstairs. The darkness did not prevent him from descending, as his focus was not distracted from the red object he had just destroyed. Besides, his weapon was still left behind.

Up underground, Gu Yuena picked up a small dagger lying on the ground. The dagger was still streaming red magic, yet it felt different from Gu Yuena's.

Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. "Looks like I got a good item." He smiled with satisfaction.

The red thing that became the living core of the creature was a soul force solid that had abundant life energy. If fused with an object, it will create tremendous power and can save the lives of its users. That's why the fog can be so strong. It was just a dead skull, but when it fused with a red stone that contained life energy, it would have another life and gain extra power.

This can be said to be very good.

Gu Yuena kept it well. The red thing had been fused with his dagger. His dagger would have an unfathomable power beyond before.

Back upstairs, Gu Yuena was immediately confronted by Su Churan who looked very tired while having her chest crossed. Gu Yuena smiled without sin.

"Is something?" ask Gu Yuena.

Su Churan sighed for the umpteenth time. "It seems that it's hard to get you to rest even if it's just for a little while."

"I have more important things than rest, enough to age."

Su Churan only showed a smile as if saying "up to you, I give up" then left limply. He's tired all day.

He was when Su Churan was so anxious to break down and sleep as much as possible, Gu Yuena instead wandered around looking for something she could do. Su Churan could not advise him anymore and chose to go to sleep.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Since the attack, news of the Emperor's death quickly spread. The Yi Empire experienced the upheaval of the throne for some time without interfering with the five palaces.

At the same time, Linghun Palace again gathered an army after temporarily retreating. In just a matter of days, they were already near Shui City.

Childe had arrived with the other alliance members. He took the lead, riding on a white horse entering the city gate with hundreds of alliance disciples prepared to fight on the frontlines.

During this time, they develop faster than expected. It was all thanks to the crystal Gu Yuena made in the Pure Element Alliance Building. Since then, they had all done intensive training and increased strength quickly.

One month had passed, their development could be clearly seen. Although their cultivation levels did not increase very much, but at least they were much stronger than before. It could be seen from the stern look they were carrying.

They were immediately placed in the barracks and provided a special tent. No one dared to look at them as juniors, even though in reality they were indeed juniors.

At the very least, Bai Youzhe was still too good to her compared to Gu Yuena's demonic training. Not only did they have to go through a life full of blood and simulated painful illusions, they also had to deal a crushing blow and be slammed many times.

Totally inhuman.

However, the result is quite worth it. They now live in barracks with enough attention from other soldiers. Childe also took the lead more carefully and did not feel insecure anymore like before. In their hearts, the Sacred Leader of the Pure Element Alliance was their idol!

Gu Yuena had no idea that he had become something to be touted and proud of in the Pure Elements Alliance. Since the arrival of the children, he had not come out of his room at all.

How could he come out at the time of having to monitor Vale with both eyes when the girl was about to make a level breakthrough? From level 4, the Vale will rise to level 5. Those were the most extreme moments.

Going to the edge of the window, Gu Yuena circulated her spiritual power and felt a strong wind blowing. At first glance, his eyes glowed with a red color.

People didn't know what he was doing, but it was actually Gu Yuena with a 'look'.

Yes, he saw using the phoenix intermediary that he sent. Bai Youzhe taught her how to see through the eyes of others before her departure. Just as Bai Youzhe did when letting Gu Yuena see through her eyes, Gu Yuena tried the same thing to see through the eyes of other creatures.

Provided there was no rejection from the other party, he could see through the other party's point of view within a certain duration.

The little phoenix flew into enemy territory. Gu Yuena could see the enemy headquarters clearly and observe the situation and the enemy troops. There were very many prepared death machkuk as well as the witch army.

In addition, there were also strange creatures that Gu Yuena had never seen. Each creature has a different and strange shape. They must be experimental weapons.

One thing that was of concern to Gu Yuena .. was none other than the black figure sitting on the luxurious chair gracefully. Gu Yuena's heart beat very fast before finally her phoenix eyes met the woman's red iris.

The small phoenix immediately flew high and disappeared, while Gu Yuena returned to her original consciousness. He breathed heavily, then went back seriously.

He smiled slightly, then muttered, "It seems, we'll meet sooner, Mother."

"Your Majesty, are we going to war tomorrow?" asked Vale who had opened his eyes. He has passed the breakout stage. His spiritual power was getting more and more concentrated with a beautiful red color.

Gu Yuena smiled towards him. "Maybe?" He tilted his head seriously, then said, "Maybe .. It's time I teach you the magic circle."

Vale's eyes became very bright. He knew what a magic circle was and immediately approached enthusiastically. "Your Majesty, is that true? Am I finally a witch?"

Vale is a mage. From mage, can be a witch. Basically, mage skills are not much different from witches and cover the basics of being a witch. Drawing a magic circle requires immense spiritual power.

It used to be that Gu Yuena directly took the path of the witch because she was confident in her power. Coupled with phoenix blood and extraordinary memories, he could draw the first phoenix circle easily.

Vale's talent is different from hers. If Vale were to study the magic circle, he would be tormented. Other than because of his identity and his extremely late and weak power, the magic circle would devour him before it could control him. Moreover, back then Gu Yuena was still thinking of not bringing the Vale to the Palace.

The path of the witch was a dangerous path, but her strength was worth it. That was why many magicians started their cultivation through mages.

"Sit down." Gu Yuena asked Vale to sit down.

Vale quickly complied and returned to his original place. Gu Yuena placed her index finger on the forehead of the Vale, then drained her spiritual power.

Gradually, Vale received many memories of the magic circle as well as information from the leather book that Gu Yuena had encountered in the Duke's Residence of Gu. Only in this way, Gu Yuena forced Vale to study and remember him to practice on his own.

After the process was completed, Gu Yuena retracted her hand. Vale opened his eyes and put on a surprised face.

"Learn all that." Gu Yuena said with a cry.

Vale was silent for some time while looking towards Gu Yuena. His eyes were amazed. "Your Majesty .. You are so cool!"

"Where did you learn that word?"

"Ah, Zhou Ying always mentioned it while praising you. Your Majesty has always been cool and wonderful."

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. "Yes, I'm cool. Next time, say it in front of Jin Xiao as well." Gu Yuena smiled strangely.

He was actually teaching Vale to provoke Jin Xiao! Gu Yuena is so vengeful!

Jin Xiao was in the distance, sneezing while talking to some of Luye Palace disciples to discuss something important. The palace disciples automatically fell silent, trying to pretend not to see.

Jin Xiao's face flushed in embarrassment. Who shamelessly talked about it behind the back!
