Phoenix Destroyer
45. Wounded

When Xiao Mingsu finally came out, the other family members heaved a sigh of relief. And the formation that protected the pavilion also slowly disappeared.

"Patriarch." The head of the household approached Xiao Mingsu with a serious face.

"Gu Jia came to request an audience. They came for the Chengxuan Sect." The head of the household actually hesitated a little, This Chengxuan Sect is which sect? As he recalled his Patriarch had never been in charge of any small sect.

Xiao Mingsu's pupils shrank.

The name of the Chengxuan Sect was known only to him and the first Elder alone. Even the other family members only knew that the opportunity obtained by Xiao Jinxi was the inheritance of an immortal being. So where did Gu Jia know about it?

They also came suddenly without making any promises.

"Yes, invite the guests, I'll come see them soon."

The head of the household nodded and immediately left.

Crowd dispersed. Before leaving, Xiao Mingsu came to a secluded place.

A black-clothed figure appeared beside Xiao Mingsu.

"How's it?"

"Kong Li was the Young Master of the Peacock Demon Clan, one day his group was looking for the Yueqi Flower and was attacked by an unknown group. The last trace that can be traced is that he fell into a ravine with one of his killers. Don't know how he can appear in the human territory."

"Feng Mo?"

"The Phoenix Clan is too secretive, but outside news does not mention that there is a child named Feng Mo who was born in the last hundred years."

"Okay, you can come back."

"Yes, Patriarch!" The black figure disappeared quickly.

Xiao Mingsu was a little helpless. There was a child of a high-level Demon clan in the human domain, if Kong Li suddenly had an accident in the future, the feud between the two races would definitely be unavoidable. Xiao Mingsu could only hope that the two would not have an accident.

Now he still had to go see Gu Jia. How did they find out about the whereabouts of the Chengxuan Sect, and how much did they know.

As for the two people Xiao Mingsu was currently thinking about, the two were still in an inn near the city gate.

Feng Mo actually had the intention to immediately leave the city, but suddenly Feng Mo felt uneasy so he canceled his intention. The two took the inn for a while.

"What kind of treasure are those people looking for?" Kong Li squinted displeasedly. The feeling of being hunted was very uncomfortable, he did not want to always have to worry that someone would find him and stab him in the back.

"What kind of treasure, I don't know. But when we were about to leave Haicheng, Jing Shubai gave me a token."

"What token?"

"Sort of identity tokens. Jing Shubai had an ugly face when giving it to me, he said that the token belonged to the great Young Sect Master."

"How did Jing Shubai get her?"

Feng Mo shook his head not knowing. "It originally belonged to Jing Shuya."

Kong Li was suddenly enlightened, then could not help but sigh. "This woman is very lucky... So is Jing Bao's father this Young Master? No wonder he had such excellent spiritual roots. What happened to the treasure?"

Feng Mo took out an ordinary-looking jade token from the universe, and weighed it for a while. Seemed doubtful. "Maybe this token is not an ordinary identity token?"

Kong Li was also a little hesitant. "Try then?" After all the two had become fugitives of the sect. It would not hurt to ascertain if the treasure was really the one in their hands.

There were no treasures, just ordinary jade tokens. What if this token is the key to the treasure?

Feng Mo felt a little moved, then he carefully inserted his spiritual senses into the token.

Kong Li saw that Feng Mo started concentrating on exploring the token and did not interfere.

It only took a few breaths before Feng Mo opened his eyes again. When Kong Li was about to ask, Feng Mo suddenly took out a talisman. And he also saw that Feng Mo's face was as pale as seeing a ghost.

The talisman was activated and a crack appeared sucking out the two.

The action only lasted a few seconds, but Kong Li immediately realized something was amiss. But an incredible suction immediately swallowed him, without even letting him ask.

The cracks disappeared and the inn room came back empty.

Kong Li did not know that as soon as the two disappeared, a figure of a cultivator suddenly appeared at the place where Feng Mo was sitting before. That cultivator figure appeared and immediately spread his consciousness.

But someone else immediately came in time, making that cultivator have to stop his actions.

"Master Sect Zhao, long time no see."

"Xiao Ershan's."

"Don't know what made Sect Master Zhao come to Hongshi City directly?"

"Just looking for some crook."

Great Elder Xiao Jia nodded. "Then the villain had to be so powerful that Sect Master Zhao had to take action personally. Sect Master Zhao needs the help of Xiao Jia? After all even though Hongshi City does not belong to Xiao Jia anymore, our Xiao Jia still has the power to mobilize the entire city."

Those words of yin and yang made Sect Master Zhao's face grim. "No need."

Xiao Ershan pretended to sigh. "What about being a guest at Xiao Jia? It seems like we've never exchanged feelings before."

"Good bye." Sect Master Zhao paid no heed to the Great Elder's words, flicked his robe and immediately disappeared.

The Great Elder snorted softly then sneered. "Family name Zhao, you don't have the temperament that a Sect Master should have."

The Great Elder also immediately returned to the Xiao Jia residence and reported what had just happened to Xiao Mingsu.

Hearing that Sect Master Zhao was a cultivator who had just barged into the city, Xiao Mingsu immediately realized that the fugitive orders this time were unusual. "What about those two kids?"

"Looking at the ugly face of Zhao's surname, it doesn't seem like he found them."

"Yes, don't bother me for next time."

"okay."

Meanwhile on a wasteland land, a crack suddenly appeared above the sky. The crack spewed out something before closing and disappearing.

Two objects fell from the sky and slid down.

A loud bang, awakening the enchanted ones.

Kong Li fell on his back hard, his back was very sore. But fortunately he was a Demon clan, his complexion was thicker than most humans. If the fallen were ordinary humans, it was certain that there would be no meat intact.

Although it did not fall to death but Kong Li felt his body ache to death.

"Geez-uhuk!"

The thunderous coughing sound woke Kong Li up.

Feng Mo landed not far away from him, and his state looked extremely bad.

"Xiaomo!"

Feng Mo coughed up blood, so much so, blood kept leaking from between his fingers. And looks will not stop.

Kong Li panicked, he hurriedly took out all the healing pills from his inventory. "Xiaomo, open your mouth!"

Feng Mo felt that he had never been injured this badly.

The talisman he had just activated was a high-level talisman, requiring an enormous amount of spiritual energy to activate it. Which made Feng Mo very overwhelmed. But the spiritual energy in his body was not enough, so nothing could be taken away anymore except his vitality.

This time Feng Mo really could not hold on. His sight began to blur. He gripped Kong Li's robe tightly. "Brother Li, you— you must hide me!"

"What?! Why?!"

The panicked Kong Li did not get an answer. Then what happened next, made Kong Li even more worried.

Feng Mo's body slowly shrank and changed. His whole body grew bird feathers. Then a black phoenix the size of a sparrow finally appeared.

When the demon descendant was severely injured to such an extent, his body would form a self-protection mechanism. Back to the children's condition.

Feng Mo who had never shown his true form to the outside world, now that he was severely injured, he had to return to his original form.

Kong Li picked up the comatose phoenix and immediately hid it on the sleeve of his robe. In haste he departed from the place of his fall.

Half a year later.

The sound of hammer and shovel taps filled the entire underground mine chamber.

Several thin and frail bodies were scattered at various angles. Making someone with a well-built and healthy body look very striking and out of place.

Kong Li swung his hammer with all his might. The clinking sound of chains sounded as his hand moved. Some rough rocks seemed to pile up next to him.

Kong Li gouged out the meteorite rock that protruded from the soil layer.

Ring~

The sound of alarms rang throughout the underground mine. Today's activity is over.

Kong Li stuffed the meteorite rock on the ground into a storage bag and carried it to the absent officer.

The middle-aged officer glanced at Kong Li for the second time. This new guy was very striking among the other miners. Dust and dirt did not block Kong Li's handsome face.

Many of the strongmen in the underground mine craved Kong Li's beauty, but they did not dare to take action. Because the first person to move his hand at Kong Li had been beaten to death.

Even if the officers took action, Kong Li could still go against them. After all in this underground mine, no one could use spiritual energy.

They have the same position.

It had only been two months that Kong Li had come to this underground mine, there was no longer anyone who dared to provoke him.

The food-sharing queue was very long, Kong Li was a little impatient, his face wrinkled from time to time. After getting the rations for dinner, Kong Li returned to his room.

One miner's room was divided for several people, but due to Kong Li's ferocity, his roommate had moved away, fearing he would become a punching bag.

The officers outside simply closed their eyes, as long as they did not stop the excavation of the meteorite rock.

Kong Li was happy because he did not have to worry about some people intruding on his life. Also because he had nothing to fear someone would recognize Feng Mo's phoenix that was in his hands.

Kong Li took out the comatose phoenix from the hiding place.

There was no movement for half a year, Kong Li could not help but worry. Putting the phoenix on the table, Kong Li also finished his dinner.

The clinking voice always accompanied him. The chain on the wrist cannot be removed. That was what sealed the spiritual energy in his body.

Fortunately Kong Li had experienced this for several times so he did not panic. Putting himself on the mat, Kong Li thought about a thousand and one ways to escape from this underground mine.

But the activities all day make him tired to sleepy. Unknowingly Kong Li finally fell asleep.

When Kong Li slept, the Phoenix bird on the table had a slight movement.

Feng Mo had been conscious and unconscious for some time. His soul was so tired that Feng Mo was very sleepy. He wanted to wake up immediately, but his body would not allow it.

Feng Mo was helpless.

Wishing Kong Li was fine so that he could still protect her.
