There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

A phantom body, wielding the "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon Technique," swiftly dragged the surrounding vines toward the black-feathered bamboo grove.

One of the phantoms frantically cast witchcraft spells, further weakening and restraining the opponent.

The last true form quietly closed its eyes.

He was quietly perceiving and experiencing.

He felt the howling wind sweep across the heavens, the gentle breeze caressing his body, and the divine favor bestowed upon him by the Azure Phoenix. In the myriad fluctuations of that energy, he comprehended the meaning of riding the wind.

I sensed the ceaseless flow of primordial energy between heaven and earth.

It was as if the entire world was breathing.

Then, the wind stopped.

Originally intending to ride the wind, Hei Yu Youhuang was caught off guard and fell flat on her face. Just as she was seeing stars, she saw another phantom figure swiftly leap past her.

With both feet raised, it becomes a move called "Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine".

One kick after another.

They kicked him all the way to his still-intact eyes, showing that even if they couldn't hurt him, they would still try to suffocate him with their foot odor.

It has low lethality but is extremely insulting.

With every foot the Azure Phoenix approached, death drew ever closer. The Black Feathered Phoenix no longer cared about conserving its strength; it erupted with a surge of ferocious energy, sending the illusory body that had tried to bind it flying.

The illusionary body that closed in and unleashed a series of kicks was directly shattered and disintegrated.

The wind has picked up again.

However, it was not the black wings that rose up, but rather they burst forth from Jiang Mo's fingertips. He simply swung his body forward, yet it seemed to affect the entire universe.

Let the howling winds gather and surge.

The spiraling airflow at the tail of the final Xuanjing arrow propelled it effortlessly through the body of the Black Feather Phoenix, tearing off countless pieces of flesh and blood, causing a veritable bloodbath to descend upon the mountaintop.

The wings fluttered slightly.

The Azure Phoenix, disgusted by blood and filth, swept away the dust stirred up by the crashing Black Feather Phoenix with a gentle breeze, clearing away the dripping blood rain.

With eyes that seemed to hold a divine quality, she gave Jiang Mo a deep look.

Chapter 93 Returning on a Blue Phoenix

"Or is there still no news at all?"

In the study of Huoyu Manor, Hu Yu'er, looking haggard, looked at Chunlan as she walked in, her voice filled with unconcealed exhaustion and weakness.

Chunlan didn't speak, she just shook her head.

"The last clue was that they went into the mountains with the pilgrims, and no one has seen them since. Only a few of the people who went with them returned, and they were all acting strangely..."

Recalling the clues about her sister's whereabouts, Hu Yu'er felt a sharp pain in her forehead.

At first, no one took Hu Meier's absence seriously, assuming she had simply gone off to slack off again.

Until, after searching for a long time without finding the person, they found the letters left behind by the other party.

Hu Yu'er then learned that the girl had actually run away from the manor to find a unique birthday gift for her father.

This is utterly ridiculous!

Upon seeing the ambiguous letter, Hu Yu'er was furious and immediately dispatched a large number of people to try to capture Hu Mei'er and give her a good scolding.

But no one could find her.

Even now, after Huo Yu Gong's birthday has passed, Hu Meier still hasn't returned. All the manpower and resources they've managed to gather are just a few vague clues.

Mei'er, where are you...?

Now, Hu Yu'er no longer felt anger towards her younger sister; only worry remained. The thought that her sister might have already perished, reduced to skeletons in the mountains, made her feel dizzy and disoriented…

"Ugh~"

An unbearable feeling of nausea suddenly welled up in her heart, causing Hu Yu'er to gag violently and lose her composure.

"Miss, don't worry too much."

Stepping behind Hu Yuer, Chunlan gently patted her back and forced a smile as she spoke to comfort her:

"The second young lady is blessed with good fortune."

"Moreover, she is not alone. At least, Jiang Mo is with her. Although that kid can be annoying at times, he is quite reliable when it comes to important matters."

"Cough cough, how much of a role can he play by himself, and what else can he..."

Hu Yu'er could only manage a bitter smile. Although the pilgrims who had returned from their pilgrimages hadn't explained things very clearly, based on the clues they had gathered, they had probably encountered some terrible beast in the mountains.

Jiang Mo and Hu Yu'er also admitted that this kid was indeed capable, able to make that moon-viewing party an unforgettable memory for countless people.

Even if you have the ability, can you really kill that ferocious beast?

Just as she was feeling downcast, Hu Yu'er suddenly heard a lot of noise outside, and her brows furrowed even more.

"Chunlan, go and see what's going on outside."

Chunlan, who had responded to the call, rushed back after only a few breaths, her face showing disbelief and astonishment.

"what happened?"

"The rosy clouds and auspicious clouds look like there are immortals... Miss, you should come out and see for yourself."

Chunlan, who is usually quite reliable, was now barely able to speak clearly.

Completely unsure how to describe what she saw, she stammered a few words before decisively reaching out to pull Hu Yuer outside.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand how truly shocking that scene was.

Hu Yuer didn't think Chunlan was being presumptuous in her behavior; she just habitually wanted to remind her to be mindful of her manners.

But immediately, Hu Yuer no longer cared about maintaining her composure.

She looked up at the sky filled with azure light, staring blankly as the ethereal, otherworldly bird rode the wind and came, and for a moment she couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming.

Otherwise, how could we have witnessed such a dreamlike scene?

How could it be that two deities-like figures were sitting on the back of that divine bird? Wait, the divine bird…

"The divine bird Azure Phoenix?!"

As the young lady of Huoyu Manor, Hu Yuer had a considerable understanding of the various beliefs of the Baiyue region, despite her usual respect for them.

After all, we still have to deal with quite a few shamans and priests quite often.

Regardless of how devout they are in their beliefs, they should at least be aware of some of the customs that need to be avoided.

Therefore, although she was stunned by the sight before her, Hu Yu'er was still able to determine the origin of the divine bird soaring in the sky based on its striking appearance.

He couldn't help but shout it out loud.

Forget about speaking and acting with composure and dignity; Hu Yuer was so shocked that she even accidentally cracked her voice.

Upon hearing this, many people from the surrounding mountain villages couldn't help but kneel down. Even those who were not believers in the divine bird Qingluan before couldn't help but feel awe after witnessing such a celestial phenomenon that seemed to be caused by a deity appearing in the world.

"The divine bird Azure Phoenix? That's... wait, could it be the Second Young Lady?!"

Chunlan, who possessed considerable strength, sensed how extraordinary that existence was, beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, she was more concerned about something else.

A bold idea came to mind.

Just thinking about that possibility made Chunlan's heart pound, and she felt uneasy about having such a blasphemous thought.

But she still couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He tried to make out the blurry human figure on the back of the blue phoenix, to see if it was the one he knew and longed for.

Before she could decide what she was thinking, Hu Yu'er ran out.

Completely disregarding etiquette, Hu Yu'er lifted her skirt and ran wildly towards the back mountain. For the first time in her life, she felt that her elegant and dignified clothes were a real burden.

"Young Miss, please slow down!"

Seeing Hu Yuer's hurried and flustered steps, Chunlan couldn't help but feel worried for her. She hurriedly wanted to catch up and help her, but a figure beat her to it.

"Here, I'll take you there."

Li Kai rushed to Hu Yu'er's side with lightning speed, reached out to help her up as she nearly fell, and before Hu Yu'er could even speak, he simply picked her up around the waist and ran towards the back of the mountain.

Those who realized that the Azure Phoenix had flown towards the back mountain were unaware of Hu Yu'er's presence.

Yet, very few people headed there without hesitation. After all, people are always filled with awe for beings that transcend the mortal realm.

Those fortunate enough to see the Azure Phoenix are even fewer.

Aside from Hu Yuer, who had been running non-stop with Li Kai's help, there was only Huo Yugong, who was a bit overweight, and his guards.

"Put me down."

Seeing her father there, Hu Yu'er, who was lying in Li Kai's arms in a princess carry, couldn't help but blush slightly and whispered a reminder to him.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was almost entirely drawn to the azure phoenix soaring into the sky, and no one noticed what was happening to Hu Yu'er and Li Kai. The divine bird, the azure phoenix, didn't even glance at the crowd and simply flew into the clouds.

Even if you are incredibly wealthy, richer than a country, in their eyes you are nothing more than an ordinary person.

Like ants, like dust, not worth mentioning.

Lord Huoyu was not annoyed at all, because a familiar voice entered his ears, which made him overjoyed:

"Father, sister, I'm here!"

In the direction from which the Azure Phoenix had just taken off, Hu Meier, with her light and quick steps, was waving at them, with a snow-white fox following closely beside her fair and slender ankles.

Slightly behind was Jiang Mo, who was holding a full load of his spoils.

A quick glance revealed piles of wild fruits, an abundance of herbs, and branches and stones of unknown purpose, filling the hastily pieced-together bundle to the brim, as if it might turn into a pile of shredded cloth at any moment.

No wonder Jiang Mo looked so helpless and walked so cautiously.

However, the two were in surprisingly good spirits. If you ignored their wild clothing, they didn't look like victims at all.

It was more like a relaxing vacation.

They even returned riding on a blue phoenix...

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Li Kaiguang pieced together some trivial details and vaguely sensed that Jiang Mo and the other person must have had some extraordinary experiences.
