He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

"!"

Su Qingluan froze, her body tensing up instinctively.

After she realized what was happening, she quickly reached out and pushed Xu Yi away with disgust.

"Tsk! Get away, don't get too close to me, I'll untie you."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a glint of light flashed from her fingertips.

Xu Yi felt a lightness in his body as the sealed spiritual energy surged out, spreading warmth throughout his body, and his frozen body gradually regained sensation.

Xu Yi rubbed his shoulder and muttered to himself:

What a strange woman. She only accepts being the one to hug others, but not being the one to hug herself, right?

About half an hour later.

The wind in the valley gradually stopped, and it was very quiet all around.

Suddenly, a dazzling seven-colored light shot into the sky from the towering tree in the very center of the valley!

The light was dazzling and illuminated the entire valley.

Xu Yi and Su Qingluan looked up at the same time.

At the top of the towering tree, a translucent fruit, radiating a seven-colored glow, slowly emerged from among the branches and leaves.

A glint of light flashed in Su Qingluan's eyes. She moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of red light, and instantly appeared in the air.

She reached out and slowly plucked the fruit.

Then she turned around, intending to hand the longevity fruit to Xu Yi to see.

As a result, when her gaze fell on the ground, her body froze.

Xu Yi, who should have been standing by the rock, has vanished without a trace!

"?!"

Su Qingluan's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of unease surged in her heart.

Without thinking twice, she quickly put the Longevity Fruit into her storage ring, then closed her eyes, and her powerful divine sense began to spread in all directions.

They explored every corner of the entire valley, inch by inch.

A moment later, she reopened her eyes, a fierce glint in them, and gritted her teeth as she spat out a few words.

"Damn it...damn it...those two bitches!"

Only half a day had passed since their last meeting, so she naturally recognized Jiang Xuange and Si Yunfei's aura.

The two auras, now carrying Xu Yi's aura, were rapidly fleeing out of the valley.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingluan's figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

......

On the other side, high in the sky.

Two streaks of light pierced the sky at an astonishing speed.

Jiang Xuange held the sleeping Xu Yi in her arms, her figure gliding lightly through the clouds.

Why was Xu Yi fast asleep? It was because she had cast a calming spell on him.

This was to prevent Xu Lang from waking up midway and making a sound that would attract the madwoman, so a little calming incense was used out of necessity.

It wasn't because she wanted to take the opportunity to hug him, nor was it because she wanted to kiss him.

Even so, her gaze remained fixed on Xu Yi's face, unable to get enough of looking at him.

She couldn't help but lower her head, lean close to his ear, and whisper softly.

"My husband, my husband, my husband, my husband..."

As she continued reading, she finally couldn't resist turning her head slightly and placing a gentle kiss on Xu Yi's smooth face.

Behind her, Si Yunfei was pouting, her cheeks puffed out, following reluctantly.

She, who had been without a Daoist partner for hundreds of years, could not bear to see this scene.

Just then, a clear phoenix cry pierced the tranquil sky.

The phoenix's cry was high-pitched and loud, resounding through the sky, carrying an overwhelming pressure that shook the clouds violently.

Siyun and Jiang Xuange turned around at the same time.

Above the sky, a giant phoenix with a wingspan of a hundred feet was swooping down, accompanied by raging flames and fierce winds.

Damn it.

Jiang Xuange frowned, her face darkening.

"That vixen is really fast."

"Siyun, help me stall her."

Upon hearing this, Si Yun was first taken aback, then pointed to her own nose in bewilderment and said...

"Huh? Me?"

Jiang Xuange didn't offer any further explanation, simply humming in agreement.

"I need to find a way to stall her for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I need to activate the Nine-Turn Exquisite Array."

Siyun looked at Jiang Xuange's tense profile and sighed heavily.

"Sigh... okay, I'll give it a try."

She gritted her teeth, no longer hesitated, and with a flick of her wrists, a gleaming golden hammer appeared out of thin air.

"You vile woman, prepare to die!"

With a loud shout, Si Yun lightly touched the clouds with her feet and shot out like an arrow.

The golden hammer spun rapidly in her hand, creating gusts of wind, and smashed directly at the phoenix.

But as a result, Siyun was sent flying in a single exchange.

Siyun rolled through the air like a ball for hundreds of meters before crashing heavily into a giant rock suspended in the clouds.

The boulder was instantly smashed to pieces, and dust filled the air.

Su Qingluan's voice drifted from the phoenix, filled with disdain.

"Get out of here, you dwarf."

Amidst the smoke and dust, Siyun coughed twice, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She struggled to fly out of the dust and smoke, and looked at the majestic phoenix, trembling with anger.

"asshole!"

This woman dares to address me like that! She's only a tiny bit taller than me!

Siyun grew angrier the more she thought about it.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes turning fierce. Ignoring her injuries, she charged forward again, golden hammer in hand.

This time, she went all out, unleashing powerful and sweeping hammer blows, each strike aimed at the phoenix's weaknesses.

But the result was still no surprise; it didn't take more than a few rounds.

She was slapped away like a ball and crashed hard into another floating boulder.

Siyun was both angry and in pain, her bones felt like they were falling apart. She lay on the pile of rubble and took out a bundle of long ropes that shimmered with colorful light from her storage bag.

This is the Immortal Binding Rope that she spent three hundred years crafting. Even a peak Supreme Realm expert would have to endure it!

Siyun gritted her teeth, poured all the remaining spiritual power in her body into the golden rope, and flung it towards the phoenix.

She seized the opportunity and hurled the golden rope at the phoenix.

The golden rope transformed into a streak of light in the air and wrapped itself around one of the phoenix's sharp claws.

Siyun immediately activated her spiritual power, chanting incantations.

Under Si Yun's control, the golden rope grew longer and longer, frantically winding upwards along the sharp claws.

In just a short while, they tightly bound one of the phoenix's wings and most of its body.

The phoenix, bound, let out an angry cry, its enormous body struggling incessantly, yet it could not break free from the golden ropes binding it.

Su Qingluan, inside the phoenix's body, was increasingly annoyed by this repetitive and entangled fighting style, and cursed under her breath.

"That damn dwarf..."

In the distance, on a solitary floating rock.

Jiang Xuange sat cross-legged, her hands quickly forming hand seals, her fingertips flashing with spiritual light, and mysterious runes overflowing from her palms.

Because she was so focused on setting up the formation, she didn't notice a hand reaching out from behind her.

shoot!

That hand gently patted Jiang Xuange's shoulder.

"Wife, stop immediately."
