Chapter 470 “Daredevil Stealing the Phoenix Blood p1”
There were no delays in Wu Chong’s second attack, thus enraging the ancient fire phoenix even further and causing it to spew another two flames instead this time. And without hesitation, Ye Ling Yue took it all and absorbed the flames, resulting in the strengthening of her bones and internals.
Third time, three phoenix breaths.
Fourth time, still the same.
The flesh, the blood, the hair, and even the Dantian were being reinforced as a result.
Like an addict who’s become addicted to drugs, the girl could only feel her body stronger than ever before.
“Nine flames, we’re leaving!” Seeing the objective achieved, Wu Chong believed its time they made their presence scarce before anything unexpected drops in.
Unfortunately, that’s where his expectations were misplaced.
Although he couldn’t see the girl from his specific spot, but he could clearly sense Ling Yue’s aura still burning within the fire, completely different from the previous times where she would jump out right afterwards.
“Ye Ling Yue!”
Shrinking his eyes in, the man suddenly came down with a frightening hunch as his focus shifted over to the altar.
This blasted woman, she’s actually sneaking up to the phoenix altar after acquiring the nine phoenix flame.
To be clear, the effects of the invisibility pills had long expired by now; therefore, Wu Chong could blatantly see that ant like figure sneakily crawling below the ancient phoenix’s belly. What’s worse, the little daredevil even had the audacity to stab her dagger into that flesh!
For once in his life, Wu Chong experienced an unprecedented level of panic as the sacred bird came smashing down with its magnificent claw at the lass
“Don’t hurt her!”
Erupting a burst of black aura from his body, the man’s power instantly envelops the entire area in darkness and freezes the picture over.
For the girl herself, Ling Yue could only remember how she was extracting that drop of blood from the flesh, and the next it was all a blur right up to the point where they were already out of that place….
“Are you out of your mind?!” In his fit of rage, Wu Chong angrily reprimands the girl, “Did I not tell you to stay at that spot, who told you to go extract the phoenix blood?!”
Right now all he wants to do was to tear this girl into pieces for that foolishness. Yet, his actions was the polar opposite and became ever so gentle while he embraced her existence. For some reason, a inexplicable sense of guilt was growing within his heart.
“Wu Chong, I just… I just remembered Little Crow also needed a drop of that phoenix’s blood. She’s inherently deficient….. And I would’ve been fine. I have….” Going all mumbling, she didn’t know how to say the next half aloud.
I have my cauldron to save me. Even if that ancient fire phoenix attacks me, I could still keep myself safe for a bit.
“Shut up, if you keep yippy yapping then I will kiss you,” the man suddenly snaps, shutting the girl up with his threat.
Wu Chong didn’t like what he was feeling right now, the sense of loss and then regaining something again. As such, that near screaming appearance of his did very much scare the girl.
But before she could apologize and smooth things out, Ling Yue’s attention was suddenly distracted by the thick level of black aura exuding out of her savior’s body. Though it’s different in some ways, the sensation she’s getting was far too similar to the fog within the Black Valley.
Then just when she wanted to inquire for some more information, it dispersed, disappearing into nonexistence only to be overshadowed the heavy rumbling in the background where the altar should be.

Of course, the commotion was caused by the ancient fire phoenix’s breaking apart the seal.
The bird was furious after having its blood stolen by an insignificant lass of unknown origin. Spanning its glorious rainbow illuminated wing, the phoenix gave chase across the sky like a colossal behemoth, thus alarming everyone within the Immortal Jade Garden.
“The phoenix altar has been attacked! Someone, go and close the great barrier this instant!” Following this order were the flashing beams of lights shooting up into the sky from the ground, signaling the closure of the barrier again.
“Che, they want to close the great barrier around us before we could leave. Unfortunately for them, the Mistress of the Immortal Jade Garden is absent, otherwise they would’ve been able to hinder me for a bit.” Showing a disdainful grin at their effort, Wu Chong charges forward with pure raw power using his legendary sword as the spearhead to directly tear a hole through the barrier.
Without a moment of hesitation, Wu Chong made a dash for the opening and left the clueless disciples in the dust. As for the ancient fire phoenix, the poor creature could only wail in agony over its loss.
“Elder Sakura, please forgive us for our incompetence in allowing the intruders to escape. That man broke the great barrier around the mountain,” one of the disciple fearfully reports.
The one whom the younger girl was talking to was a woman of exceptional quality, also known as Elder Sakura due to her status within the Immortal Jade Garden.
“Damn it, why are you all still standing around for then? Hurry and go seal off the Deity Fall Village. I want every inch and every crevasse scoured and searched. Those who dare break into our school will pay for their indiscretion.” Fuming to the point of going white, Elder Sakura began scolding the others near her until she realized the upmost importance was checking up on the phoenix’s condition.
One glance, that’s all it took for the woman to lose her breath.
Others may not notice it at first, but she’s an elder of the Immortal Jade Garden. Not only did the ancient fire phoenix exhaust a large number of its flames from the confrontation, it also lost a drop of its precious essence blood!
For a sacred beast, in addition to their spirit core, the other most important thing within the body was their essence blood near the heart. One drop was equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation!
Curse those blasted thieves!
Despite their exhaustive efforts to search for the perpetrator, none of the members of the Immortal Jade Garden could locate the pair because they were long gone by the time they managed to organize a search party.
“You! You actually stole the ancient fire phoenix’s essence blood?” Wu Chong didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry after releasing the girl from his hold.
“What? With this essence blood I can help Little Crow make up for her inherent deficiency.” Smiling right up to her eye, Ling Yue had no qualms about sharing her reasoning for the dangerous act.
“You are almost fully healed now so I’m leaving first. You can find the Underground City #9 not far away from here.” After pondering what to do next, Wu Chong decides to go his separate ways at this point.
“You want to go?” Ye Ling Yue became startled and blurted her surprise out without thinking, which she regretted it instantly.
I should be wanting him to go instead, not wanting him to stay!
After this trip to the Immortal Jade Garden, Ye Ling Yue’s understanding of this infamous man has once again grew deeper, especially that part where everything froze over right before she got clawed by the ancient phoenix.
