Heaven-defying Phoenix

Looking at the nine bridges, Jiu Muli lamented for a moment. This was perfect, an island and a bridge, no one would snatch anyone's bridge.    

As she expected, the cultivators that had rushed over all split into nine groups and headed in different directions to the bridges.    

Jiu Muli also saw that the cultivators of First Island were already on the bridge, and without hesitation, he immediately rushed to the side of the bridge.    

Looking at the stone bridge in front of him, Jiu Muli frowned, because this bridge was not wide.    

Although to cultivators, even if it was just a rope, as long as they managed to land on it, they would be able to pass without a hitch. However, she still felt that it was a bit strange.    

"Hey, First Island, come over quickly. Don't dilly-dally."    

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time, you're delaying us all by yourself, are you looking to die?"    

"If you still don't want to go up, then move to the back."    

Very quickly, the cultivators of the various islands gathered and stepped onto the stone bridge one after another. Only Jiu Muli hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't casually step on it and stood at the side.    

The seawater was too calm, it didn't seem like water at all, and the floating land was too quiet as well. Although it looked lush and verdant, as if it were a good place for cultivation, it was also too quiet, not even a single bird could be seen, not even a hint of life.    

"It's impossible for them to not have any signs of life. Could it be that all those trees are fake?"    

Jiu Muli's expression was solemn, she did not move forward for a long time, and when all the cultivators had stepped onto their respective stone bridges, she still did not move.    

And it was at this moment that a cultivator in the ninth level of Starer in front of him seemed to have noticed Jiu Muli's abnormality. At the beginning, he didn't pay any attention to it and only ridiculed him with a cold smile.    

"Nine bridges, nine people, open the legacy!"    

Suddenly, a voice fell into Jiu Muli's ears, causing her pupils to constrict.    

This voice didn't seem to distinguish between man and woman, nor was it clear where it came from. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air in her heart, as if it were an illusion.    

Swish!    

All of the cultivators looked at Jiu Muli. They all knew that they had to have nine people on each stone bridge at the same time in order for the inheritance to be activated, otherwise they would not be able to pass through the stone bridge.    

"Hey, woman, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you coming up!"    

Just at this time, a cultivator shouted to Jiu Muli.    

"What are you doing just standing there like a fool? You're scared silly, no wonder, just a Blood Coagulation Stage, you can't even be considered a Starer."    

"That scared me. Why did I have to fight for this spot back then? How much better would it be to give it to someone else?"    

"I think he probably bribed some steward. You guys be careful, I'm afraid his background isn't simple."    

"I know her. The Island Lord personally ordered her."    

Everyone had their own opinions, but upon knowing that First Island Owner personally ordered it, they all became silent.    

The messy voice finally pulled Jiu Muli back to reality.    

"Hurry up, if you don't come up, we can't even go in."    

"If you don't come up, we're going to tie you up!"    

Everyone scolded, but other than scolding and cursing, there was nothing else they could do, they could not kill Jiu Muli, since one of them was dead and they did not have enough men, everyone had to finish playing.    

Moreover, they might be related to the First Island Owner, so they did not dare to go overboard.    

Jiu Muli was feeling helpless, she really wanted to observe for a moment, but did not expect that the inheritance grounds would be so shameless, not only that, she had to go on the bridge, Jiu Muli reckoned that if she did not go, she would be attacked by a group attack and would have to go on the bridge instead.    

"Forget it, let's try it out first."    

In the end, Jiu Muli still walked forward. After all, there were so many people waiting for her, so no matter what, there would not be any danger.    

This was the moment when one of her feet was about to step on the stone bridge. In the end, she still had some hesitation, but seeing the contemptuous looks on everyone's faces, her cheeks started to heat up.    

Gritting his teeth, Jiu Muli finally stepped forward with a serious expression on his face.    

"What's the point of being so cowardly?"    

The cultivators were speechless. If it were not for First Island, they might really attack Yue Yang.    

Even the eyes of the young man in the ninth level of Starer Stage were filled with surprise at this moment.    

But no one knew, that at this time, Jiu Muli's heart was in turmoil.    

This was because right when her foot stepped on the stone bridge, a burning sensation came from the stone bridge and rushed towards her foot. Without hesitation, she retracted her foot.    

As she stepped back, everything in front of her suddenly disappeared. The cultivators on the nine bridges all disappeared. In addition, the nine bridges also disappeared.    

"This is too strange."    

Jiu Muli's heart jumped, he felt speechless, now that she was the only one left, what should he do?    

Go back?    

He couldn't even see the exit behind him. Even the portal he had entered through was gone.    

Advance?    

In front of him was an endless expanse of seawater. Other than that, there was nothing else. It was empty and deathly silent.    

Jiu Muli looked at the seawater in front of her. She took out an unremarkable medicinal herb from the storage ring's finger and threw it into the seawater. The medicinal herb instantly sank into the water like snow meeting the sun.    

"Hiss, what a strange sea water."    

Jiu Muli felt a chill run down his spine. Was this the weak water?    

Although Meng Bu Si was blabbering before, she had revealed a lot of information, and knew that the sea water could not be touched, anything that fell in would only sink, because it was weak water. She was initially skeptical about it, thinking that Meng Bu Si was spouting nonsense, but she never expected it to be true.    

"Let's look around first. There might be other paths."    

Jiu Muli felt that this was not a bad thing, thus she calmed her emotions and walked along the shore.    

At the same time, outside of the inheritance grounds, everyone had already left. It was just that in a remote area, Meng Bu Si's clothes were tattered and he was in an extremely sorry state.    

Not far away from him, Qin Zheng waited for him with a cold expression and not a single word came out from her mouth.    

But exactly because of this, Meng Bu Si became even more afraid, because he could sense an extremely strong killing intent from this man.    

"What exactly do you want? If you do this, my grandfather will definitely not let you go."    

Meng Bu Si roared in grief and indignation, feeling incomparable grievance.    

Earlier, when everyone had already left, he suddenly realized that his body couldn't move, and he couldn't even call out, following that, he was inexplicably brought to this remote corner. And the person who brought him here, was the silent man beside Jiu Muli, Qin Zheng!    

After this man brought him here, he didn't say anything and just viciously beat him up. He wanted to resist, but he discovered that his cultivation base was completely useless in front of him, like a three year old punching out in front of an adult.    

After that, he cursed in anger. However, the other party had acted even more ruthlessly. He was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, and just as he was about to die, he spared his life.    

"You are not allowed to appear in front of Jiu Muli in the future, understand?"    

Finally, Qin Zheng opened his mouth.    

"You want to kill me for her?" Meng Bu Si had an expression of disbelief.    

"If there's a next time, you will definitely die."    

Qin Zheng said coldly, and immediately disappeared into the distance.    

"What's the matter? Do you think you're the only one who can like it?"    

Meng Bu Si was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, the resentment in his heart had reached a maximum, but he was helpless about it. In the end, he staggered back up and rushed to the Island Master's cave.    

Seeing his own grandson in such a sorry state, First Island Owner was frightened out of his wits. After asking around, he found out that it was Qin Zheng who did it and fell silent.    

"Grandfather, you must take revenge for me. You must kill him."    

Meng Bu Si's eyes were red, his face was sinister, how could that be, he had never suffered such a loss, this matter could not be tolerated.    

First Island Owner took a deep breath, then said: "Alright, I understand now, you should go down and rest. It's a good thing that you are not heavily injured, you are not allowed to cause any more trouble in the future."    

"Pfft!"    

Meng Bu Si almost vomited a mouthful of blood as he said in puzzlement: "Why? I didn't provoke him, yet he attacked me for no reason. This matter can't be tolerated. Grandfather, please teach him a lesson in my place."    

"You shut up."    

The First Island Owner glared at Meng Bu Si, but then sighed: "Don't bring this up anymore, and I won't hide it from you. It's not that I don't dare to make a move, it's just that I don't dare to, even I can't see through that man's cultivation. You better take a detour from now on, don't throw your life away, when that time comes, your grandfather won't be able to do anything about it even if he wanted to take revenge."    

Meng Bu Si was dumbstruck when he heard it. He was very clear about how strong his grandfather was, but he never thought that he would actually be no match for Qin Zheng.    

"It's over, it's really over."    

Meng Bu Si felt an unprecedented fear, for a moment, all hope turned to ashes, and his thoughts went out of his head.    

He was truly frightened.    

"So there was such an expert by my side. No wonder he was unwilling to pay attention to me."    

Meng Bu Si sighed in his heart.    

The current Jiu Muli was completely unaware of what was happening outside, and she was currently exploring the strange inheritance grounds.    

"Only ten days. This path is boundless and endless. Could it be that I will have to keep walking like this?"    

The opening of the inheritance land would last for ten days. To cultivators, it would only last for a short period of time. If there were any new changes, the ten-day period would probably be up.    

When she thought about how her hesitation had been misunderstood as cowardice, and how she would be laughed to death in the future if she were to leave without finding anything, she didn't doubt it at all.    

Thinking that it was very possible that the entire Sea of Nine Serenities would see her as a laughingstock, her originally relaxed mind instantly vanished.    

"I can feel it. That weird feeling hasn't disappeared. That means there's still a chance!" So what if there is no end to the road ahead? I must find the Exotic Flame! "    

Jiu Muli's face was determined, but his steps were firm.
