Heaven-defying Phoenix

Jiu Muli, who had been leaning in Qin Zheng's embrace the entire time, felt the surging waves of energy hidden within the tranquility of her chest. She knew that Qin Zheng must be plotting something big.    

Jiu Muli raised his head slightly to look at Qin Zheng, and saw the incomparable curve of Qin Zheng's chin when he was pondering, intertwining with his sword brows and starry eyes when he was pondering, as if he was the king of the night, possessing the power to dictate everything.    

After Qin Zheng had sorted out his thoughts and looked down at Jiu Muli, he discovered that Jiu Muli, who was currently in his embrace, was looking at him obediently like a kitten.    

In the dark night, Jiu Muli's gaze carried an enticing charm. This gaze made Qin Zheng's heart itch, he felt as if there really was a kitten scratching against his chest.    

This kind of numbing feeling made Qin Zheng not have time to think carefully, as he lowered his head and kissed the soft lips he longed for.    

"Ugh …" That kiss without any warning, made Jiu Muli feel somewhat panicked. She subconsciously wanted to push him away, but she had only pushed him two times when her waist was tightly held by Qin Zheng.    

Qin Zheng forcefully sucked on her sweet lips, and the strong gnawing feeling coming from her lips made Jiu Muli feel an indescribable pain.    

After kissing for too long, Jiu Muli felt that her brain was still a little numb, so her hands unconsciously grabbed onto Qin Zheng's back and neck.    

The long kiss finally ended. Qin Zheng used a teasing gaze to intentionally stare at Jiu Muli, and this gaze immediately made Jiu Muli's face flush red, as she shyly avoided Qin Zheng's gaze.    

But Qin Zheng refused to retract his gaze, which made Jiu Muli a little angry from embarrassment.    

"Hey, what are you looking at!" Jiu Muli slapped Qin Zheng's arm, stared at him and said, "Get down to business, don't you have something you want to say to me?"    

"Yes, yes, yes." After hearing Jiu Muli's reminder, Qin Zheng retracted his greasy gaze and said seriously: "Right, I do have something to discuss with you."    

Such lust! Jiu Muli retorted Qin Zheng in his heart. Seriously, when he saw his own face that was beautiful to the point of being illogical, his mind stopped thinking about something!    

Seeing Jiu Muli give himself a disdainful glance, Qin Zheng understood in his heart, but he did not say anything else. He simply smirked and continued, "We do not have much time left to find Blood Ancestor, and since we do not have a way to save him in a short period of time, let us look for Blood Ancestor first."    

"Maybe when we search for the Blood Ancestor, we can find a chance to save her." Qin Zheng's gaze was very firm. Jiu Muli knew that Qin Zheng had already made his decision, and believed that he definitely had his own reasons for doing so. Thus, Jiu Muli nodded in agreement.    

"Do you have any leads to the Blood Ancestor now?" Jiu Muli pursed his lips and asked worriedly.    

"Not yet." Qin Zheng looked around, and shook his head in disappointment.    

Seeing Qin Zheng's disappointed look, Jiu Muli's heart ached a little. She held Qin Zheng's hand and comforted him: "It's alright, we will definitely find him."    

Seeing Jiu Muli's gentle eyes that were as firm as a mountain, Qin Zheng's heart was immediately filled with power. He looked at Jiu Muli with eyes brimming with confidence and vigor, and nodded: "Mhm."    

Qin Zheng and Jiu Muli held their hands tightly, feeling each other's warmth, giving each other strength.    

After that, Jiu Muli carefully followed behind Qin Zheng and continued to search around in the Immortality Star's underground palace.    

With Qin Zheng's protection, Jiu Muli began to calmly observe the situation around him.    

At this time, Jiu Muli finally saw clearly that on the walls of the underground palace, there were actually many different colored patterns.    

Some of these patterns were very common, but some she had never seen before.    

Jiu Muli's heart skipped a beat as her breathing quickened. She felt that these diagrams were intelligent, that she was being stared at by something.    

This feeling was extremely strange and uncomfortable, causing Jiu Muli to feel so stifled that he couldn't breathe.    

At this time, Qin Zheng was groping around on the stone pillar, checking if there was any mechanism on the pillar.    

Seeing such a serious Qin Zheng, Jiu Muli did not say a word, but held Qin Zheng's hand tightly with a bit of grandeur.    

Lowering his eyes to see Qin Zheng holding his own hand, Jiu Muli felt warmth in his heart.    

In this dark and bizarre underground palace, if not for Qin Zheng holding onto his hand, he might have fallen into some kind of trap, or been sucked away by some unknown force.    

But now that she had Qin Zheng's protection, she felt at ease.    

Jiu Muli realized that there were murals that were connected to the walls and the floor of the entire underground palace. From a distance, it looked like they were linked as one.    

Every time he took another look at the pictures on the frescoes, Jiu Muli felt his forehead tighten.    

Jiu Muli sucked in a breath of cold air in his heart, feeling that this underground palace was really strange and mysterious.    

Seeing that Qin Zheng had groped the whole way but didn't discover anything, Jiu Muli couldn't help but ask, "Did you discover anything?"    

"Yes." Qin Zheng replied, and then muttered, "How can there not be any profound entrances that can pass through?"    

Hearing Qin Zheng's somewhat depressed and unhappy voice, Jiu Muli hesitated for a moment before asking, "Take a look at those murals, can you see anything strange about them?"    

Qin Zheng looked up and down: "Isn't it just some simple frescoes?"    

After hearing Qin Zheng's reply, Jiu Muli asked in shock, "Can you really not feel anything?"    

Logically speaking, Qin Zheng's overall strength was above his, and even he had felt that it was strange, so how could he not have felt it?    

Jiu Muli looked at Qin Zheng strangely. At this time, he remembered what Qin Zheng had said, that this Immortality Star was related to his own bloodline power.    

If that was the case, then if there really was some profound art concealed within these murals, then he would be safe without encountering any external force. That was also to say that the spiritual energy in Qin Zheng's body would not sense anything strange happening here.    

And it was also because of this reason that Qin Zheng felt that everything that happened before his eyes was ordinary and unremarkable, because these things all had his bloodline power with them, so how could they feel that something was amiss when they coexisted peacefully?    

Thinking of this, Jiu Muli could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

This Immortality Star was very mysterious. After Qin Zheng arrived, in order to protect Qin Zheng, it sealed the entire planet away, using its curse to resist the invasion from the outside world. However, it also limited the possibility of Qin Zheng finding the Blood Ancestor.    

If not for the fact that an outsider like her had barged in, Qin Zheng might really be searching for a long time here.    

Thinking about it, Jiu Muli then took his spiritual energy and held it in his palm, forming the shape of a blade.
