Chapter 41 - The Phoenix Race
If I don't go to hell, who goes to hell! Li Yifei was not wrong, with regards to the Cultivation Era, if he did not have that much courage, then what rights did he have to keep going, and what qualifications did he have to be called a "Battle Immortal!"
Not long after Li Yifei entered, he thought of a lesson he had learned in the past. It read: When you are young, you become an adult; when you walk back dozens of steps; when you are enlightened!
Now that Li Yifei had truly understood the meaning of these words, as he walked forward, a bright light appeared in front of him. Walking in, he took a look, and a magnificent palace appeared before his eyes.
However, Li Yifei had already seen the big picture, so he did not stop at all and directly walked in. After that, there was nothing inside, only the Phoenix statue was inside.
Li Yifei observed the surroundings and finally came to a conclusion. It was actually the experiences of his previous life, just that he had used it now!
"In my opinion, there must be something wrong with this statue. If I'm not wrong, it should be like that." With that, Li Yifei walked to the front of the sculpture and bowed respectfully.
"Elder, I'm sorry, but I accidentally barged into your territory. If you have committed any immoral acts, please forgive me. I will leave immediately!" After he finished speaking, Li Yifei slowly walked back to where he came from.
Just as he was about to leave the palace, Li Yifei could not help but retort: "Could it be, I guessed wrongly, there is really nothing here, just the pressure of the statue? Forget it, it's fine if there isn't any. Since I'm here, I might as well settle down! If there's nothing else, then I'll leave! "
Just as Li Yifei was about to leave the palace, a voice suddenly came out.
"Brat, we're already here. Why are you leaving so early? Why aren't you chatting with me?" As soon as he finished speaking, a statue of a person slowly gathered from the Phoenix statue and slowly came to the ground.
"Looks like my guess is wrong. There really is something wrong with this statue!" Li Yifei calmed his emotions and slowly turned his head, looking towards the direction of the voice.
An old man with a head full of white hair stroked his long beard, and looked at Li Yifei with a face full of smiles.
"Senior, I don't know if this brat has disturbed your rest, but if it's you, senior, please forgive me!" Li Yifei's words and actions, all of the time, revealed a sense of respect.
Actually, he didn't want to do this, but this old man wasn't someone he could mess with! If he accidentally provoked this old man, he would be done for. Therefore, no matter if it was for his own little life or because he was an old man, Li Yifei was still more respectful.
"Alright, kid, I'll be honest. I've been following you since you came to the cave entrance, and I'm quite satisfied with your reaction. When facing an unknown environment, I'll think about the consequences first, make up my mind, look good, have courage and insight; when I saw the palace, I didn't show any panic, not bad, not bad, not bad at all; after I entered the palace, I didn't see any treasures, and I didn't do anything disrespectful either. Good, I know etiquette, I'm not impetuous; seeing me, I'm still respectful, not bad, you're very much to my taste!" After saying that, the old man looked at Li Yifei with satisfaction.
After hearing what the old man had said, Li Yifei immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Inwardly, he could not help but retort, "Damn you, it's fortunate that I met something like this in my previous life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been scammed here today."
"Senior, you are flattering me. This brat is only following common sense!"
"Alright, stop calling me senior, just call me Elder Zhang!" If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask. If I knew, I could tell you! "
Hearing that, Li Yifei spoke out all the doubts in his heart, "Elder Zhang, I don't know why there would be a large group of monsters worshipping us at night! But by day they were gone! "Also, I don't know if Elder Zhang knows of any medicinal plant called Phoenix Cry Ye. The reason this boy came here is for this Phoenix Cry Ye!"
When Li Yifei finished his questions, Elder Zhang fell into silence.
Li Yifei thought that he had asked about the other person's privacy. Just when he was about to say that he did not need to answer, Elder Zhang sighed and slowly said: "Since you have already asked, then I will tell you."
This statue belongs to the Phoenix King, so the monsters outside will come out every night to worship, and I, am just a remnant thought left behind by the Phoenix King, I have already lived for a few thousand years, I do not have much time left, furthermore, I do not want to continue staying, so, I am very satisfied with your arrival today, although you are not from our Phoenix Clan, but I do not have any ways, ever since the Phoenix King died here, no one from our Phoenix Clan came here, so, I can only entrust the heavy burden on you, please do not reject me. After elder Zhang finished, he looked at Li Yifei with a serious face, not a trace of joking in his eyes.
After hearing what he had to say, Li Yifei then fell into a dilemma, "About this, I still have to find my enemies to take revenge for me in the future. If I really don't do it, doesn't that mean that I have disappointed his expectations of me? Moreover, he said that he doesn't have much time left.
After Elder Zhang heard it, he laughed out loud: "I knew I didn't misjudge you, kid, you don't have to worry about this at all. As long as you can find the people of our Phoenix Clan and give them the thing I gave you, they will definitely help you. If you really haven't found them, just hide what I've given you and don't let anyone else have it! Because, as long as they are a member of our Phoenix Clan, they would definitely react to this thing. Therefore, it is not impossible that we cannot find them, so, I will have to trouble you with this matter! "
After elder Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Li Yifei with a pleading gaze. Looking at his eyes, Li Yifei could not refuse, and replied: "Alright, I will do my best to hand this thing over to the right person!"
Seeing that Li Yifei agreed, Elder Zhang laughed, waved his hand, and took out a few things.
"This is our Phoenix Clan Patriarch's token, please protect it well. This small bottle contains three drops of my phoenix blood essence. I will give them to you now. Also, you want the phoenix cry leaf. Now that this remnant of my will will disappear, before it disappears, I will give you one last treasure. I only hope that you can protect the phoenix tablet well and hand it over to the phoenix race! "
After Elder Zhang had finished speaking, the three things slowly flew in front of Li Yifei. Then, Elder Zhang had instantly changed back to his original form, a king of phoenixes appeared in front of Li Yifei, nodded at Li Yifei, and instantly went into his body. After that, it calmed down and left a few words in the air, "Right now, I will leave some of my spirit energy at your dantian, this spirit energy can help you block three of the enemies' attacks, and can block one minute at a time. As long as it does not surpass my level, otherwise, it will not be broken! "
After Li Yifei heard it, he quickly checked inside his body and really saw that a ball of fiery-red Spirit Qi was in a corner. When there was an unstoppable threat, he only needed to use the Spirit Qi and it would be fine.
After putting away the things on the ground, Li Yifei bowed towards the sculpture and walked out of the cave. When he walked out, the cave immediately collapsed, as if there was no cave there at all!
Looking at the ruined cave, Li Yifei felt moved, "If it weren't for me, this cave might have been fine this entire time. But, Elder Zhang is simply too lonely.
Li Yifei turned his head, and was preparing to return back along the road, but halfway up the mountain, he heard a few roars, and when Li Yifei heard them, he thought, "Not good!"
"Those monsters must have felt the movements here. They must be coming over right now. What should we do?" It's impossible for us to hide in a tree in broad daylight, right? " Just when Li Yifei was at his wit's end, he suddenly thought of the escape technique he had obtained in his previous life. At that time, he felt that it was useless, but now, it was Li Yifei's lifesaver.
This escape technique was called the Five Elements Escape Technique. It could be used to hide in metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, one needed to practice it one by one. When Li Yifei was a Battle Immortal in his previous life, he had found this book on the body of an enemy.
"Thankfully, I read it once. No, I won't. I have to answer it here today!" After saying that, Li Yifei immediately thought back to the Earth Escape Technique. Because Li Yifei was currently on top of a mountain, he must have learnt the Earth Escape Technique.
He gathered all of the spiritual energy in his body into his legs, allowing the spiritual energy to flow between his legs...
After a while, the rumbling sounds of footsteps got closer to Li Yifei, and the shouts were getting louder and louder!
Li Yifei, who was still in cultivation, was suddenly awakened. After hurriedly finding a temporary hiding place to hide, he put his entire body and mind into cultivating.
At this moment, the monsters had already rushed over and were looking at the ruined cave. They were all roaring around, and their eyes were filled with doubt. Why was it that everything was fine last night, yet it was suddenly destroyed now?
The giant python, giant lizard, and wild boar also looked at each other, "There must be some kind of thief here who stole our treasure. We must find him and not let him steal our treasure!"
"Right, this cave has not been destroyed for too long. The thief must still be nearby, let's force him out!"
After the three of them made up their minds, they faced a different direction and began to destroy the area. The giant python opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of poison gas.
The giant lizard and the wild boar did not want to be outdone either, so they tried their best to solve the problem, razing everything within a few hundred meters of the hole.
Although they had used all of their power and prestige, it was still useless. They had not gained anything, let alone any thieves!
The giant lizard was infuriated. Looking at the destroyed cave, it roared!
After that, the three of them were dumbfounded … They only saw a figure appearing in front of them.
It turned out that Li Yifei knew that the moment they found out that the cave was destroyed, they would be furious from embarrassment. If they were not careful, they could destroy the surrounding area, thus, Li Yifei found a big rock here, and used the Netherworld Sword to dig a small cave that could obstruct him, hiding inside.
