Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 322 Ma Hongjun's sister, a bittersweet reunion!

Walk out of the road to hell.

The maple leaves also came alive, chattering away:
"Lin Xiao, what's going on with your domain? It seems that your original Killing God Domain has merged with your strange Black Sun Purifying Flame, forming a completely new domain. Its aura... is so strange."

Maple Leaf's voice was tinged with curiosity.

But what she didn't say was that even she felt a chill from this aura, and a sense of dread arose inexplicably. Could it be a domain with strong killing power?
Lin Xiao's expression was strange as he introduced his field to Feng Ye.

The maple leaves suddenly changed color, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Does it involve the soul level or the spacetime level? Hmm, the stripping of consciousness and the distortion of perception seem to be mainly mutations at the soul level."

"If I'm not mistaken, your flames have also been enhanced?"

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, and a dark flame shot out from his fingertips.

It was extremely cold and damp.

Black Sun Fire has indeed evolved.

The most prominent characteristic of the complete Black Sun Purifying Fire is "forgetting".

Forget desires, forget memories, forget the existence of one's own consciousness, and in the end only a blank soul remains, somewhat like a god purifying the soul, but so sinister that it has the feel of an evil god.

I have many feelings about the maple leaves.

"Lin Xiao, you've already embarked on your own path."

Lin Xiao helplessly stretched out his hand, showing the Asura God Test mark on it.

"Uh, I still have the Asura God Test here."

The sound of the maple leaf was crisp and melodious, but its words contained profound philosophical insights.

"You misunderstood. Let me give you an example."

"Trees need sunlight and rain during their growth process, but they do not ultimately grow in the way that sunlight and rain provide. No matter what nutrients they absorb, they will eventually become the tree itself."

What Maple Leaf meant was that although Lin Xiao absorbed the "nourishment" of the Asura God during his growth, he ultimately became his own form.

Lin Xiao nodded.

"I understand, to put it bluntly."

"It's like how people eat food and excrete feces, but people are neither the shape of food nor the shape of feces. This is called taking the essence and discarding the dross."

The maple leaf flew into a rage.

Although the words are rough but the principle is sound, your words are just too rough.
Lin Xiao laughed heartily.

Although I completed the Killing City in just over six months and gained far more than I initially imagined, that place was still very oppressive, and the constant killing was detrimental to my physical and mental health.

He and the maple leaf exchanged a few words.

He felt like he had come back to life.

With his Crimson Phoenix Wings unfurled, Lin Xiao soared into the sky, heading towards the Heavenly Dou Empire, like a phoenix breaking free from its cage.

……

The Kingdom of Barak.

Soto City. Grass Chicken Village.

Maple Leaf was somewhat puzzled. Lin Xiao seemed eager to return home, but instead of going back to Tiandou City, he came to Soto City and even to a dilapidated little mountain village. Why was that?

but.

Maple Leaf keenly noticed that ever since Lin Xiao entered Grass Chicken Village, his expression had changed from calm to somewhat hesitant, as if he was wavering...

What could possibly make this young man, who has endured hardship and self-torture almost the entire way and whose willpower is exceptionally strong, hesitate and waver?
Or perhaps, who is it?

Maple Leaf did not make a sound to disturb Lin Xiao.

She transformed into a little red bird, silently perched on the boy's shoulder, keeping him company.

Perhaps he had figured it out, or perhaps the maple leaves gave him courage.

Without further hesitation, Lin Xiao arrived at a mud house with practiced ease and knocked on the door.

"Auntie? Uncle Ma?"

Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from inside the house.

A burly woman opened the door. Her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xiao, as if she wanted to give him a hug. But when she saw the young man's refined and noble demeanor and his obviously luxurious clothes, she froze.

Lin Xiao smiled and stepped forward to hug him.

"Auntie, are you still being distant with me?"

The plump woman nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes.

Fortunately, the voice was still enthusiastic enough. "Xiao Xiao?! Did you come back with Hong Jun?"

"That child too, your uncle and I hardly ever saw him in Soto City. He was always out and about and never came home. Later, it seems he went to Tiandou City to study, and he hasn't been home for almost five years!"

"Oh my god! What a heartless person!"

The plump woman scolded him, but her eyes couldn't help but look behind Lin Xiao, as if hoping to see a familiar figure behind him, but she searched for a long time without finding a trace.

A hint of disappointment was visibly etched on his gaze.

Lin Xiao smiled.

“Auntie, Hongjun is doing very well outside, but he is stubborn and has vowed to make a name for himself before he will come back, or he will die outside.”

"What are you talking about? A true man makes the world his home."

"But humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?"

Lin Xiao took out a bag of silver soul coins from his pocket and handed it to the fat woman, saying:

“Although Hongjun refuses to come back, he keeps thinking about you. That’s why he asked me to bring some money back to you and Uncle Ma, and to let you know that you’re safe.”

“Hongjun has a strong sense of pride. Once he makes something of himself, he will be willing to take you to live a good life.”

The plump woman took the money bag, tears welling in her eyes.

“This fool, how high does one have to climb to be considered successful? Your Uncle Ma and I are doing quite well. We’ve gotten used to this kind of life and it’s very comfortable. Our only wish is to see our son more often…”

The plump woman snapped out of her daze and wiped her eyes.

She then realized that Lin Xiao was still standing outside the door, so she quickly pulled him into the house and prepared to boil water to make tea. However, she suddenly heard a baby crying in the room and hurriedly went back inside.

The crying stopped quickly.

The plump woman came out carrying a baby and laughed:

"That silly boy Hongjun probably doesn't even know he has a younger sister!"

He sighed after speaking.

"It's a pity this child is so fragile, always crying and fussing. He's only three months old, I don't even know if he'll survive..."

"Hey? Xiao Xiao, this child doesn't have a name yet. You read a lot of books, could you come up with a good name for her? After all, she's a girl, so we should be particular about it!"

Lin Xiao remained silent throughout.

While the plump woman went to make tea, he looked at the baby girl and, through mental detection, discovered that she appeared to have a congenital deficiency.

Lin Xiao extended his finger, and a thin, crimson line of blood spiraled out and was sent into the baby girl's body.

The maple leaf, which had been silent all along, exclaimed in surprise:

"Phoenix Blood? You haven't absorbed it all this time, just for this one?"

Lin Xiao said silently:
"Absorbing this phoenix blood will benefit me."

"But if I don't absorb it, I'll give it back to Ma Hongjun's family. That would benefit me more."

I can live a life with a clear conscience...

Hongjun, I want you to know that I killed you because you wanted to kill me, wanted to harm the people around me, and had already done many excessive things, not because I coveted the phoenix blood in you.

Lin Xiao said slowly:
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Giving too much money to Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma may not be a good thing, and may even harm them. They are thrifty and hardworking, and that bag of silver soul coins is enough for them to live comfortably and well."

"I probably won't be coming back again."

People should always look forward.

Lin Xiao also left behind some medicinal meals to nourish the body.

He took out a thousand-year-old herb, stored it in a jade box, and left a note instructing Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma to give it to their daughter after she awakened her martial spirit, and not to reveal any information about it.

This was given to Ma Hongjun.

It wasn't for Xue Feng Ma Hongjun, but for the chubby little boy who used to wear open-crotch pants and follow him around calling him "Brother Xiao".

Do it all.

Lin Xiao used his finger as a pen to write three words on the baby girl's cradle:
Ma Hongying.

"Parting and reunion are so fleeting, this sorrow is endless."

"Hongjun, farewell."

Lin Xiao soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Aunt Ma, who had just returned from making tea, was left completely bewildered...
