Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 137 Snatching
Yang Nianqing and Mo Mo stuck one Swift Travel Talisman after another on their bodies, shrinking the distance to an inch. In just a few minutes, they covered a great distance, but this was far slower than the Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman. Yang Nianqing was very anxious.

These past few days she has figured out the location of the Phoenix Flower, which is on the eastern route she has been taking. However, when she tried to calculate the exact location, she could no longer do so. Not knowing the exact location, she could only search for it inch by inch on foot, which wasted too much time.

They thought they were very close to the Phoenix Seeking Flower, but now that the Phoenix Seeking Flower has revealed its information, they were still so far away. Even with their best efforts to catch up, by the time Yang Nianqing and Mo Mo arrived, there were already three groups of people at the place. A middle-aged man in a Tang suit was about to pick the Phoenix Seeking Flower when Yang Nianqing shot a lightning talisman at him.

The talisman was stuck to the man's hand. The middle-aged man felt a sharp, numbing pain shoot up from the talisman in his hand. He screamed in agony. His hand trembled violently, and blue arcs of electricity flickered. The rain made the talisman even more powerful.

The middle-aged man tore off the talisman, glanced back at Yang Nianqing, and by then the rain had subsided. He could see that they were two women whose faces were completely covered. He said to his apprentice behind him, "Stop them!"

Mo Mo sneered, then teleported forward and struck the back of the neck of the men with a bit of demonic power. The men instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

The middle-aged man took a step back in shock. This woman was so strong that his disciples couldn't even withstand a single move.

Mo Mo wanted to press his advantage, but the middle-aged man reacted quickly, forming several hand seals and unleashing a burst of fire. The scorching heat hit him, and Mo Mo stopped and dodged the flame.

What seemed like a long time was actually just a moment. Yang Nianqing and Mo Mo moved at the same time, and their fingers were about to touch the Phoenix Seeking Flower. In the blink of an eye, Yang Nianqing had already mobilized his spiritual power to put the Cycle Flower into the Vine-Entwined Flower Earring space the moment he touched it, but the next moment he was kicked away by a sudden force.

Yang Nianqing flew three or four meters before crashing into a tree and coming to a stop.

"Qingqing!" Mo Mo exclaimed in surprise.

"Awooo!!!" At this moment, Lele jumped out of the backpack and instantly grew to half the height of a person. Lele pounced on the middle-aged man. His intuition told him that this person was an enemy.

"I'm fine." Yang Nianqing stood up. She was not injured at all under the power of the protective talisman. She then put on a speed talisman, which allowed her to appear in front of the man who had suddenly appeared earlier. Yang Nianqing then activated an explosion talisman, and a violent explosion occurred in front of her. The man only had time to activate his spiritual energy protection.

With a loud "Boom!", the man was blasted back two meters and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "Pfft!"

Yang Nianqing was unharmed within the blast radius. She replaced the broken protective talisman with a new one.

"Taoist cultivator?" the man asked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Yang Nianqing did not answer him, but hurriedly went to pick the Phoenix Seeking Flower.

The man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a refined appearance, glanced at the blood on his finger and smiled. How could he let Yang Nianqing succeed? He touched the necklace around his neck, and the pendant on the necklace instantly transformed into a longsword. The man wielded the longsword and thrust it at Yang Nianqing's hand as if he were picking flowers.

Yang Nianqing was startled, and a Soul-Slaying Whip appeared in her hand, instantly deflecting the man's sword. "Are you crazy! You'll destroy the Phoenix-Seeking Flower!" Yang Nianqing roared angrily.

"Hehehe," the man laughed and said, "I will only cut off your hand, I won't hurt the Phoenix Seeking Flower. Even if I do hurt it, it will still have medicinal effects!"

Yang Nianqing frowned. Was this person genuinely unaware or feigning ignorance? "If a rare and precious material is incomplete, how long do you think its spiritual energy can be preserved? It will dissipate in less than three days." There's no time to refine the Phoenix Seeking Flower in three days. Unless you're some kind of immortal or a genius, consuming the Phoenix Seeking Flower directly would likely result in your body exploding and dying within three quarters of an hour.

Heaven is always fair. Since such a divine medicine can grow in the world, there are naturally corresponding limitations. If you do not cherish it and damage it, and do not preserve its spiritual energy, you will not be able to keep it for long. Otherwise, why would Gu Lang give her the Ten Thousand Year Ice Jade Box?

The Eternal Ice Jade Box is used to preserve the Phoenix Seeking Flower if it is accidentally damaged.

So that's how it is. He almost ruined Shuangshuang's chance to wake up. The man said with a serious expression, "Then I really have to thank you for telling me this. I, Song Zhe, appreciate your kindness, but I will absolutely not give you these flowers!"

"Who asked you to be grateful? I won't give you these flowers! Let's settle this with our own abilities!" Yang Nianqing said coldly, flicking the Soul-Slaying Whip in his hand. The whip cracked as it struck Song Zhe.

Song Zhe dodged, gripped his sword tightly, and was about to charge at Yang Nianqing. Yang Nianqing lashed her whip back, and with a whooshing sound, Song Zhe turned around and saw that the whip had somehow grown a meter longer and was whipping back. Song Zhe swung his longsword twice to deflect the whip. He looked back at Yang Nianqing, and the whip in the woman's hand was slowly retracting.

This woman's weapon could change length, and it was comparable to the Qiankun Sword in his hand.

"Aww!!!" Huanhuan woke up at this moment and jumped out of Yang Nianqing's backpack, her body growing bigger like Lele's.

Yang Nianqing glanced at Mo Mo's side. Lele was fighting with the middle-aged man in the Tang suit. Sometime later, another cultivator appeared and was now fighting with Mo Mo. More and more cultivators were arriving, and they had to deal with this as soon as possible!
"Huanhuan, go help Lele!" Yang Nianqing said to Huanhuan.

"Awooo!" Huanhuan cried out, as if to say yes, and rushed to Lele's side in a few moments to attack the middle-aged man together with Lele.

Yang Nianqing used his left hand to form a sword finger and shot three immobilization talismans at Song Zhe. The talismans were angled trickily, jumping up and down, trying to stick to Song Zhe's body. Song Zhe's sword danced in a dazzling display, and he couldn't get close to Yang Nianqing from any direction.

Suddenly, Song Zhe's eyes sharpened, and with a few swift sword strokes, he cleaved the immobilization talisman in two, and the talisman fluttered to the ground.

Yang Nianqing frowned. This person's cultivation was not weak, and he was quite troublesome. Yang Nianqing once again wielded the Soul-Striking Whip. Both of them were well aware of the destructive power of each other's weapons, so they intentionally kept their distance from the Phoenix-Seeking Flower during the fight.

The rain had stopped by then. The place was filled with the glint of swords and the flashing of various magical lights. Tempted by the rare treasures, everyone went mad, their eyes bloodshot. Many places underfoot were stained with blood, resembling a hell on earth.
