The Kingdom of Junwu, Imperial Capital.

Zuo Qingyun and Wu are both only eight years old.

Pffft—

Zoe Qingyun's hand held a purple, cold sword that pierced the air above her eyebrows as she danced.

A drop of amber essence was pricked out by the sword tip and hovered in mid-air.

Zu Qingyun’s left hand shot out and grabbed the amber bead. With a pop, she held it tightly in her palm!

Her hands were full of fresh flowers, but a strange smile appeared on Zuo Qingyun's face.

Looking at the child writhing in pain on the ground, Zuo Qingyun let out a cold snort.

"Dance! In this world, only one person can possess the Phoenix True Flame! Since I already have it, why would another like you appear!"

Who wants to be co-emperor with you? What qualifications do you have to compare yourself to me?!

"So what if you were betrothed? The position of Crown Princess is mine, and Junlin Yuan is also mine!"

"The Master of Bixiao Palace fancies you? Heh heh, now you're nothing but trash! The only god in the Bixiao Palace is me! So, go die!"

Left Qingyun's Zi Leng Jian stabbed directly at Wu Xin's heart!

Wielding the cold, purple blade with both hands, she gripped it so tightly that its edge cut into her palms. Blood welled up, crimson against the silver of the steel, but she seemed oblivious to the pain.

Her brow was furrowed, with spiritual energy constantly dissipating. That cultivation that could be called genius was vanishing at a visible rate.

That phenomenal cultivation base, considered genius-level, was ruined because of Huang Zhen's disappearance!

Those obsidian eyes stared fixedly at Zuo Qingyun!

"Die!" Zuo Qingyun struck suddenly, her Purple Cold Sword stabbing at his heart. With a muffled *poof*, the blade sank in, and crimson mist erupted like blood, splattering Zuo Qingyun's face.

Zuo Qingyun, her face stained with a vibrant scarlet, wore an eerie smile: “From now on, my name is Zuo Qingluan! Qingluan Fire, the King of Birds, I, Zuo Qingluan, am the only true Phoenix Emperor Wu Kingdom!”

She danced to the ground, her once clear pupils gradually blurring. She saw the head of the Left family protecting Left Qingyun as they walked away step by step. She felt her consciousness fading, realizing that her life was slowly draining away...

Left Qingyun, you dare to destroy my Phoenix True while my family master is refining his true essence! When my master returns, your entire family, your entire clan, and even the entire Junwu Continent will have to face his wrath!

Master is not a human being; to be more precise, he is a wisp of soul attached to the Dragon Spirit Ring.

Everyone says that reincarnation determines one's destiny, and having a good father is better than anything else.

He dances with joy, though he's never met his biological father, but he has the most amazing master in all the land!

Do you still remember the first time I cast the Dragon Spirit Ring, when Master walked out of the ring's space?

That year, the three-year-old, innocent and naive, looked up at the white, dustless elder with admiration: "You... are very capable?"

The master stood with his hands behind his back, nonchalantly saying: "It's not bad, this land was once ruled by."

Over the past few years, the master whose spiritual state has been dwelling within the Dragon Spirit Ring has finally condensed an Phoenix God and is now preparing to refine it into true form. This means he will no longer merely exist as a soul within the Dragon Spirit Ring.

Is this a hallucination before death? My eyelids are getting heavier, and I seem to see Master Bai Shengxue, Chang Yuli, a god-like figure.

The pure white plum blossoms are scattered all over, like snowflakes that have been purified and become holy.

He strolled out of the Dragon Spirit Ring, taking in the gentle breeze.

When she came to, she found herself lying in his warm embrace.

He has the purest breath in the world, surrounding him with the freshness of vegetation.

"Lion and tiger..." When she saw her relatives, her nose felt sour, tears really welled up.

Master can hold it now, Master has condensed the true essence! After many years of longing, it has finally been achieved!

The master's snow-white robe, wide and flowing, cascaded to the ground in layers. His deep, introspective eyes gazed at the wound between her brows, where not a ripple of emotion seemed to stir.

"Lion and tiger, will I die?" The little child's eyes were clear as water.

The master's brows, light and serene, said: "No."

After finishing his words, a slender finger as white as jade twitched. In a flash, a golden drop flew out from between his eyebrows.

Her eyes widened in shock! This was the Phoenix God! Her master's Phoenix God! It was far more powerful than the True Phoenix!

Master's, icy and emotionless: "No."

He placed the drop of phoenix essence onto her brow.

"No!" Wu danced with a terrible premonition in her heart. "Master! I won't die, but what about you?! The Phoenix God is your soul essence. Without the Phoenix God, you…"

Master's eyes, profound and unfathomable, said: "The Phoenix God is temporarily sealed. After the Nine Turns Returning Spirit Pill is activated, you will be able to cultivate again..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the master's form began to fade away.

"No!"

His whole body was trembling, his veins bulging, and he screamed with all his might! He desperately reached out to grab his master.

"Master!"

But the master, who was as pure and immaculate as an immortal exiled to Earth, vanished between my fingers...

"Master!"

The exhausted dancer collapsed to the ground with a crash, a scarlet stain blossoming on her white skin. Her beautiful face was marred with streaks of red, and her eyes were filled with tears!

Heartbreak is suffocating!

Heartbreakingly overwhelmed!

Self-reproach, hating himself to the point of wanting to kill himself!

Even Zu Qingyun's ruin and the Phoenix's destruction have never been this hateful!

Rather than die myself, I would never allow a single speck of harm to come to my holy and immaculate master!

Hate, how much I hate!

Wu clenched her fists angrily, her nails digging in almost to the flesh, her fingertips were bright red with blood!

Zu Qingyun, this feud will not be forgotten. I swear I will never share the same world with you!!!
