Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 288: Disciple of the Immortal Phoenix Palace

At the edge of the blue desert, Ye Xuan stopped again.

He and Shangguan Feixue were surrounded by six young female warriors.

Judging from the attire of these female warriors, they are actually female disciples of the Xianfeng Palace, one of the top sects in Zhongzhou.

They all looked at Ye Xuan and Shangguan Feixue with a stern expression and a hint of pride.

"Which state are you from? Tell me your name!" One of the beautiful female warriors with a melon-shaped face said coldly to Ye Xuan and Shangguan Feixue.

Shangguan Feixue was about to speak, but Ye Xuan suddenly pinched her leg with one hand. Signaling her not to speak, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "We are warriors from the Sun and Moon Palace, you should be from the Fairy Phoenix Palace."

"Oh, so you are a disciple of the Sun and Moon Palace. Your Sun and Moon Palace has always had a good relationship with our Xianfeng Palace. Since we have met this time, why don't you follow us sisters? We can take care of you two." The woman with an oval face nodded slightly and then said.

Ye Xuan was startled when he heard this. He looked at the women around him and said hesitantly, "My senior sister and I are weak, and I'm afraid we can't go with you. I think we should not go together, so as not to drag you down."

"Hmph, there is no such thing as people in the same industry but different trades. We all come here to seek for an opportunity. My sister is kind enough to take you with her, but you still don't agree. Do you have something to hide?" The other round-faced man next to the oval-faced woman glared at the cute girl with his almond-shaped eyes and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at the round-faced girl and chuckled, "What kind of evil could I have in my mind? You suddenly stopped me and my senior sister, and even asked me and my senior sister to go with you. I wonder what your intentions are."

"What did you say!"

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, several female disciples of Xianfeng Palace suddenly turned cold, and they activated their internal energy and were ready to take action.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Xiaochai.” But the elder sister with the melon-seed face glared at the round-faced girl, then smiled at Ye Xuan and said, “You two should follow us. We are going to an ancient cave where there may be treasures. However, it is difficult for us six sisters to open the cave with our strength. With your confidence, I can assure you that as long as you open the cave, 10% of the treasures inside can belong to you…”

The words of the Fairy Phoenix Palace woman were quite sincere. Ye Xuan smiled slightly. Even without her words, Ye Xuan was ready to follow them and wait for an opportunity to find out the news of the Fairy Phoenix Palace and the Sun and Moon Palace. You know, he only knew a little about the several major sects in Zhongzhou through classics, and although he could conduct a "soul search", these women must be strong as disciples of the Fairy Phoenix Palace, and soul search could not capture all the information.

He was not surprised by the ancient cultivators' caves that the woman mentioned. In addition to the magical treasures of heaven and earth, there were also many other opportunities in the Northern Dome, such as the caves of ancient warriors.

"The cave is good, but my two senior sisters and I are too weak to help the fairies." Ye Xuan's thoughts turned and he replied expressionlessly.

"Why can't you help much? Hehe. This time, the reason why several of us sisters and brothers found you is because we discovered that you possess the power of space, which can help us easily break the restriction in the cave over there." The sister from the Xianfeng Palace said with a smile, while the other five female cultivators beside her looked at Ye Xuan coldly.

"Oh, I see..." Ye Xuan nodded. Not long ago, he used the power of space to suppress the insect swarm, and was seen by several women.

Ye Xuan seemed to be somewhat tempted and said, "But even if what the fairy said is true, how can my two brothers and sisters know whether you will go back on your words afterwards! What if after I help you obtain the treasure, you kill us two?"

Ye Xuan showed a worried look on his face.

“Hmph, we disciples of the Immortal Phoenix Palace have always been upright and honest, how could we possibly bully you!” Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the oval-faced senior sister’s face turned cold, and the other five junior sisters exuded a murderous aura.

Ye Xuan saw this scene without changing his expression, but Shangguan Feixue was quite angry. These women were obviously relying on their numbers to bully her and Ye Xuan.

The melon-faced senior sister looked at Ye Xuan coldly for a moment, snorted, and said, "In this case, we sisters can swear a blood oath in the name of the Phoenix Lord and never break our promise!"

"Phoenix Lord?" Ye Xuan was stunned. In his mind, Shangguan Feixue's voice transmission sounded, "The Phoenix Lord that the women of the Fairy Phoenix Palace are talking about should be their founder, the Wuji Phoenix Lord, who once shook the entire Northern Territory. It is said that he is an existence with magical powers that are hard to find an opponent on the continent. He has broken through the void. The female cultivators of the Fairy Phoenix Palace have always regarded him as a god. Therefore, these Fairy Phoenix Palace women swore an oath in the name of the "Phoenix Lord" and they should not dare to disobey."

Ye Xuan understood in his heart, and he was also surprised. He didn't expect that Shangguan Feixue had such broad knowledge.

Ye Xuan didn't really care whether the women would really go back on their word. With his strength, he still had some confidence in facing these six female cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm, even though they were outstanding disciples from the top sects in Zhongzhou.

"Haha, it seems that if we don't agree, you won't let us go. Fine. If you really swear in the name of the Phoenix Lord, I will go with you to explore the ancient cave."

After hearing what Ye Xuan said, the expressions of several women from Xianfeng Palace relaxed a little.

"Very good. With your help, we will definitely be able to open the cave, and your share of treasures will definitely be yours."

The senior sister smiled slightly, and with a flash of her fingertips, she suddenly cut her other white wrist. A streak of bright red blood flew out, and turned into a rune. She swore a blood oath in the name of "Infinite Phoenix Lord", promising that if she broke this oath, she would fall into the evil purgatory forever and would never be able to be reborn.

At the same time, several female disciples of the Fairy Phoenix Palace also swore the same oath.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan nodded, and laughed as if relieved and said:
"I don't know where the cave is. Can the fairies tell me where it is?"

The senior sister shook her head and smiled, and actually blinked at Ye Xuan, and said playfully, "Hehe, my name is Xu Yan, you can just call me Senior Sister Xu. As for the cave, it's not very far from here. Let's go, we'll go there now."

Xu Yan said no more. She shook a colorful ribbon in her hand that looked like a treasure. The ribbon glowed brightly and turned into a large group of five-colored auspicious clouds that appeared out of thin air, wrapping up Ye Xuan and the others. With the breeze, they flew towards the east outside the desert.

In the colorful clouds, Ye Xuan nodded secretly. The talents of the female disciples of the Fairy Phoenix Palace are generally very high. The lowest talent among these women should be above the Xuan level, and that junior sister must be above the Di level! As for the ribbon, it is a flying treasure.

It is worth mentioning that there is no no-fly zone outside the desert.

Ye Xuan was not idle afterwards, and chatted with Xu Yan about some things about the Xianfeng Palace. Of course, those things were all common things and not secret.

When Ye Xuan heard Xu Yan say that this time the Xianfeng Palace actually sent out a thousand elite female disciples to enter the Beiqiong Secret Realm, and that each female disciple had reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm, and the lowest talent was also mid-level Xuan level, he was impressed by the foundation of this sect.

Half a day passed in a flash, and Ye Xuan and his group soon arrived at a mountain range.

As the colorful clouds dispersed, what came into view was a canyon with two closely adjacent mountain peaks. At the foot of one of the mountain peaks there was a huge dark cave entrance, and all kinds of traces were in a mess around it, as if leading to deep underground.

"Someone actually got in first! However, it seems that they have only been in for a short time, and all the traces are new. Let's go!"

Xu Yan glanced around the cave entrance, a trace of surprise and anger flashed across her beautiful brows. She turned around and said something to Ye Xuan and the others, then a glow of light rose up around her body and she flew into the cave.

Ye Xuan glanced at the two mountains that were about ten meters high and had traces of being cut, and couldn't help but frowned.

It is obvious that these two mountains were originally one mountain, but they were split apart by someone, revealing the cave inside.

What a powerful strength this requires!

"What are you waiting for? Come in."

Just as Ye Xuan was looking around, a cold voice came from behind him. It was from the round-faced female disciple of the Fairy Phoenix Palace.

Ye Xuan looked back at the woman, smiled slightly, then exchanged a glance with Shangguan Feixue, and flashed into the cave below.

This made the round-faced woman frown, not understanding what Ye Xuan's smile meant.

As Ye Xuan entered the cave, the other women naturally followed closely.

The passage is a winding stone staircase that extends downward and is very deep.

It took Ye Xuan about a meal's time to reach the end of the stone steps. Then his eyes lit up and a cave covering several acres appeared in front of him.

The entire cellar is inlaid with a luminous mineral that emits a faint blue glow, lighting up the cellar.

At the other end of the cellar, there was a huge stone door, but a hole about ten feet in size was violently blasted out of it.

"It's quite interesting. I want to see which friend is trying to steal the treasure from my Xianfeng Palace!" Xu Yan looked at the damaged stone gate, sneered, and then flashed into the stone gate.

Ye Xuan glanced at the silver prohibition runes on the giant gate. Although it had been destroyed, he could still feel its former power.

"It seems that the people inside are quite powerful." Ye Xuan thought so in his heart, and then he slipped directly into the doorway.

When Shangguan Feixue saw this, he frowned and flashed in.

At this time, her vitality had been completely restored, and she believed that she could fight against one of the disciples of the Immortal Phoenix Palace, but since Ye Xuan had no intention of taking action, she could only follow him.

Shangguan Feixue had mixed feelings. She had once looked down on Ye Xuan. After hearing about her engagement, she even sent someone to cancel the engagement. At that time, she was devoted to martial arts and wanted to pursue a higher level of martial arts. At that time, she only thought that Ye Xuan could not keep up with her. If they really became a double cultivation partner, it would only become a burden to her. Therefore, many people spread rumors about her and Shen Zhi's affair, but she never came forward to clarify it. She just wanted Ye Xuan to see the gap between them.

(Please give me a recommendation! Thank you very much!)
