Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

"not good!"

Yan Zhengchu was sitting right under the stone statue when he felt the falling pebbles. He immediately sheathed his sword, dispelled the formation, and shouted, "Get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud "boom" was heard, and the stone statue exploded directly from the middle, with debris flying everywhere, and the entire palace was destroyed in the process.

Mo Gu's eyes sharpened, and the moment he realized what was happening, he grabbed Ren Fengjue and ran outside. They managed to escape just before the palace collapsed.

After all the commotion subsided, everyone looked back and discovered that the stone sculpture had transformed into a giant purple phoenix.

Wuyou murmured, "This must be the real Fengzhuo Clan, right? It's not the same as that black phoenix from before at all!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the Purple Phoenix opened its mouth and hissed, and the entire underworld was instantly struck by lightning and thunder.

Compared to the black phoenix's sharp and piercing cry, the purple phoenix's cry was resounding, clear, and melodious.

At the same time, it is also more deterrent...

As the purple phoenix cried out, a cloud of black mist swirled around it, eventually settling on its shoulder and transforming into a small black phoenix.

Yan Zhengchu figured it out. "I guess these two phoenixes are both from the Fengzhuo clan, but we definitely can't beat this purple phoenix. Let's run!"

As he spoke, he took out his paper crane again and was about to go down the mountain.

Mo Gu said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

At this moment, the black mist had enveloped the entire Nine Heavens Mountain, making the already gloomy underworld even more dark and gloomy.

Yan Zhengchu glanced down the mountain and immediately retreated.

It turned out that they were surrounded by bottomless black whirlpools; if they jumped in now, they didn't know whether they would live or die...

"It's over, there's really no way out."

Mo Gu looked at the underworld not far away and said coldly, "I knew the Earth Lord wasn't that kind-hearted. This musical score isn't so easy to get."

Upon hearing this, Wuyou felt the sheet music in its hands was burning hot, and it hesitated whether to return it...

But then I thought, this is something they fought tooth and nail for.

For Mo Gu's sake, he decided to pack his things away first and quickly hide inside the lamp.

On the other side, Zi Feng, who had unexpectedly broken the seal, was still restricted in her movements by two chains.

But everyone could see that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for each other.

But now, there's no way out. There's no other option but to grit our teeth and fight back.

Mo Gu was about to take a step forward when Ren Fengjue stopped him.

He said softly, "This time, let me stand in front of you."

Mo Gu glanced at him. "What time is it? Why are you still making this distinction?"

Ren Fengjue smiled helplessly, "After all, I am your husband, and you have always been the one protecting me in the past."

"Is there?"

Mo Gu pretended not to remember.

Ren Fengjue seemed to remember it perfectly: "Many times."

"..."

With a formidable enemy at hand, Yan Zhengchu grew anxious seeing them still preoccupied with this matter.

"Stop arguing. If we really fight, what's the point of distinguishing between first and last?"

He sighed again, "Now I don't have to be locked up in the Nine Nether Hell anymore; here, my soul would be scattered to the winds!"

At this moment, the purple phoenix seemed to have finished "negotiating" with the black phoenix. Its golden eyes stared at everyone, and it let out a long cry before beginning to flap its wings.

The next second, the two chains also cracked.

Having broken free from its restraints, Zi Feng began to approach the crowd step by step. With each step she took, Mount Jiuxiao trembled as if it were about to collapse.

Such a spectacle made everyone believe that their deaths were imminent.

Ren Fengjue and Yan Zhengchu gripped their swords tightly, exchanged a glance, and were about to make their move when they heard Wuyou shout, "Wait!"

It added, "It doesn't seem... malicious."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Before they could react, they saw Zi Feng lower his head, take a phoenix feather from his body, put it in his mouth, and hand it to Ren Fengjue.

Ren Fengjue was also startled.

The little black phoenix suddenly spoke up: "This is my master's gift of gratitude. You helped him break the seal, and he can return to the heavenly realm."

"..."

This sounds a bit ominous…

Yan Zhengchu whispered, "Did we offend the Lord of Heaven as well?"

Seeing their hesitation, Hei Feng glared at them. "Don't be ungrateful! The Divine Lord told you to take it, so take it!"

Ren Fengjue immediately stepped forward, accepted the phoenix feather with both hands, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Divine Lord."

Zi Feng nodded and took a step back.

Black Phoenix said, "Phoenix feathers are auspicious objects for the Phoenix Clan. Keep this with you, and it will ensure your smooth and safe future."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhengchu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "There are three of us, so the Divine Lord is only giving us one?"

Wuyou poked her head out from inside the lamp, "I want one too!"

Black Phoenix said angrily, "Don't be so greedy!"

Zi Feng, however, had a very good temper. She turned around and gave each of them one, even Wu You got one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The situation took an unexpected turn, and everyone was almost caught off guard.

After presenting the gift of gratitude, the purple phoenix stretched its neck and let out a long cry, then led the black phoenix to take flight.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared all around again, but Zi Feng was not afraid. She broke through the Yin Realm and quickly disappeared without a trace.

As everyone watched Feng Zhuo's figure disappear, Mount Jiuxiao beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble.

Wuyou immediately shouted, "Let's get out of here quickly! This mountain is about to collapse!"

Yan Zhengchu immediately took out a paper crane and flew away on it, saying, "Then I'll go first."

Mo Gu glanced at Ren Fengjue and said, "Hold on tight to me."

The young marquis immediately put his arm around her waist.

The three figures managed to fly away before Mount Jiuxiao collapsed.

Down the mountain, the Black and White Impermanence of the Underworld were craning their necks to look around when suddenly, with a loud crash, Mount Jiuxiao collapsed brightly in front of them.

Amidst the billowing dust and smoke, the two envoys, covered in soot and utterly shocked, exchanged a glance but were speechless.

Unexpectedly, the next second they saw Mo Gu and the other two, along with Deng Hun Wuyou, appear safely in front of them.

Yan Zhengchu smiled smugly: "Envoy, we have obtained the musical score. Please lead the way."

The Black and White Impermanence were startled again. They stared at them, their curiosity reaching its peak, but they said nothing and silently turned to lead the way.

Master Yan, however, saw through their thoughts and deliberately asked, "Would you two like to know how we obtained the sheet music?"

The two men paused, unable to resist perking up their ears.

Yan Zhengchu had piqued everyone's interest, but then smiled mysteriously and said, "That's a long story. When you two have time to visit the mortal realm, I'll tell you all about it."

The Soul-Locking Envoy turned around and glared at him. The Soul-Hooking Lock was almost about to burst out, but it was stopped by the Soul-Hooking Envoy standing to the side.

"Brother, calm down."

"..."
