Heaven-defying Phoenix

Jiu Muli had originally wanted to let Qin Zheng rest on the bed after Little Lotus and his family had left, but when Jiu Muli finished making the bed for Qin Zheng and raised his head, he found that both Little Lotus and Little Lotus were still at the door of the room.    

    

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the Nine-colored Lotus's Flower God and Blacky, as if they had received some kind of shock, Jiu Muli put down the blanket in his hands and walked towards the two.    

    

As Jiu Muli approached, Jiu Muli saw the tinge of fear in Blacky's eyes.    

    

Jiu Muli's ears twitched, but he did not hear any weird noises or weird atmosphere.    

    

Therefore, Jiu Muli walked up to the two of them and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"    

    

Just as Jiu Muli was about to open the door, he was interrupted by the Blacky.    

    

Looking at the Blacky who was looking at him in shock and fear, Jiu Muli faintly felt a hint of nervousness in her heart. She knew that there must be a reason why the Blacky was acting this way.    

    

Therefore, Jiu Muli fixed his gaze at Blacky and asked gently: "What happened?"    

    

Blacky did not know how to speak, so he hesitated for two seconds. Before he could open his mouth, Little Lotus anxiously urged him: "Hey, tell me quickly."    

    

"No matter what happens, tell me first. If you stutter like this, what if something really does happen and you don't have enough time?"    

    

It was only after being told by the Nine-coloured Little Lotus that the Blacky realized that he had almost delayed a major event. As a result, he could not control himself and only told her everything he had seen.    

    

Blacky pointed to the door and said, "I was about to open the door just now when I saw a group of people with extraordinary skills passing by on the roof in the distance. They were in a hurry and did not look simple at all."    

    

"What?" Jiu Muli was shocked, and his heart unconsciously rose to his throat.    

    

If what Blacky said was true, then this group of people might be the ones in charge of hunting them down.    

    

It was because they were on the orders of the Holy Lord of the Immortal Continent that these people were able to take back their spiritual energy s' Qi. Like daggers hidden in the dark, they disappeared without a trace.    

    

Only now did Jiu Muli know that it was no wonder that he did not sense anything unusual.    

    

Although Jiu Muli was slightly nervous in his heart, he realized that he hadn't sensed any danger that could oppress them, so he was able to confirm that these people had not found them yet.    

    

Jiu Muli removed the hand he had placed on the door, and the Blacky continued: "They seem to be very far away from us, the moon tonight is as bright as a jade plate, it's as if they came down from above."    

    

"Silent like a shadow?" Jiu Muli unknowingly added this sentence, but when he raised his head, he found that Qin Zheng had unknowingly awoken and was standing behind Blacky.    

    

Qin Zheng's expression became serious. He held onto the map tightly and said: "Looks like we cannot stay here any longer, we need to unravel the secret inside the map as soon as possible. Only then will we be able to find the exit and successfully escape from Immortal Continent."    

    

Qin Zheng's words also caused Jiu Muli and the rest to have a serious expression, because they had not figured out the secret of the map yet. Although they had the intention to escape, they did not know how to quickly escape.    

    

"Are we going to continue to solve this secret here, or what should we do?" Jiu Muli glanced at the door worriedly.    

    

"The people chasing us have already appeared. What if they find out about this place?" Jiu Muli's worry was not without reason, but at the same time, Jiu Muli felt that since he had not come to the front of his mind, going out blindly like this was not a solution, so Jiu Muli was extremely conflicted and did not know how to make a decision.    

    

Qin Zheng understood Jiu Muli's worry, so he said powerfully: "Stay here for now, if we aren't able to unravel the secrets here when they come, we'll be able to escape no matter what."    

    

As their four eyes met, Jiu Muli's slightly restless heart finally calmed down.    

    

Qin Zheng was right, although the people who came to kill them were people that the Holy Lord of the Immortal Continent trusted most, but so what, their spiritual energy s could not be underestimated.    

    

In order to find the exit to the Immortal Continent, Qin Zheng once again opened the map.    

    

In order to focus even more on unlocking the ultimate secret on the map, Qin Zheng had completely integrated his consciousness into it this time. In order to ensure Qin Zheng's safety, Jiu Muli held onto Qin Zheng's hand tightly and acted as his protector.    

    

Every time Qin Zheng was at a loss, lost, anxious, calm, Jiu Muli could always clearly feel Qin Zheng's emotions and condition from the two's tightly interlocked fingertips.    

    

Jiu Muli felt that the current Qin Zheng had entered into a maze of patterns, words, and symbols that had his own consciousness and spiritual energy. Only by returning them to their original location and figuring out the answer could Qin Zheng escape from them.    

    

Qin Zheng tried to return the spiritual energy to its original position in the maze that was continuously changing its release, but no matter how many times he tried, everything would eventually go back to how it used to be.    

    

Qin Zheng, who was standing in the middle of the maze, slightly frowned. He stared straight at the various runes and diagrams but he was still unable to find the one that was most important.    

    

Qin Zheng's gaze seemed to be trying to see through the hidden origins of each rune, but Qin Zheng was unable to.    

    

Qin Zheng frowned, he quickly went through all the runes and symbols in his mind again, but suddenly realized that if he were to talk about numbers, the number of characters in these runes was actually an odd number.    

    

Singularity? Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes in shock. Could it be that the answer to the riddle is the most important thing that was missing?    

    

But how to undo it? Qin Zheng felt as if he had been trapped in a dead end. He didn't know how to turn or where to go to seek help.    

    

Just when Qin Zheng did not know what to do, holding onto Qin Zheng's hand, Jiu Muli's mind suddenly became a little chaotic.    

    

So it turned out that the people that Blacky was talking about were already in the surrounding area.    

    

Although these people had yet to reach the door of the room, the powerful Jiu Muli within had already felt their existence and the killing intent that was gradually becoming clear, even though they had done their best to withdraw the spiritual energy and killing intent from their bodies.    

    

In the next moment, even the Nine-coloured Little Lotus and the Blacky felt their existence, and they instantly became restless.    

    

Blacky and the Nine-coloured Little Lotus stood up from their chairs and moved their gazes back and forth between the wooden door and Qin Zheng.    

    

Jiu Muli was clear about the worries in their hearts, but right now, he was trying to crack the secret on the map. If he interrupted them like this, it might affect Qin Zheng's safety.
