Heaven-defying Phoenix

Jiu Muli froze.    

"Mother …" Mother, who are you talking about!? "    

Jiu Muli was unable to react, he looked around in a daze, only to realize that other than her, there was no one else. The only person who could still sense it was Little Lotus, but obviously, it was a male.    

"So you're saying, you're calling me mother?"    

Jiu Muli was completely dumbstruck, she had the impulse to go on a rampage. At that moment, even if she wanted to remain calm, she was unable to do so.    

"Hey, Little Lamp, don't be rash, don't let your thoughts run wild, how could I be your mother? Did you recognize the wrong person? Although our relationship is good, we can't call each other wrongly."    

Jiu Muli's heart was a little satisfied. Little Lamp being able to speak, this was a good thing, there was no need for it to be heard, it was worth congratulating. However, the first sentence was like a thunderbolt out of the blue, and it was a bit unacceptable.    

Jiu Muli felt that she was very strong in her heart and had a very strong ability to accept things. In this damned world, she could quickly calm down regarding any strange matter.    

However, the glazed palace lamp no longer opened its mouth and steadily flew to her shoulder.    

"Hey, don't play dead, come out and explain yourself. Little Lamp, we don't treat you like this."    

Jiu Muli panicked, but no matter how she shouted, the glazed palace lamp seemed to not have heard her, and sunk into silence.    

Forget it, it seems like there is no hope for the glazed palace lamp to speak of the truth. Then, she thought of the Little Lotus and angrily said: "Little Lotus, come out and explain what happened just now!"    

"Elder sister, what's the matter?"    

Nine-colored Lotus did not continue playing dead, and spoke with a clear voice.    

"Did you hear Little Lamp calling me mother just now? What happened? "Also, what happened to the wood?"    

Jiu Muli was a little speechless.    

"Can I not? This is my secret. " Nine-colored Lotus said calmly.    

What you said makes sense, but I have nothing to say to that.    

Jiu Muli was speechless. Previously, Qin Zheng had suspected that she had spoilt the other party's child, and now someone had come to acknowledge her mother.    

However, the glazed palace lamp did not explain, and she had no choice either, nor did she want to be entangled in this matter. However, the glazed palace lamp matter still stuck in her throat, she thought, and decided to first ask Qin Zheng.    

Although glazed palace lamp s were her final secret and outsiders were not allowed to see it, Qin Zheng was very knowledgeable, so she was a little worried that something might happen to the glazed palace lamp. If that happened, it would be troublesome.    

Jiu Muli immediately left his residence and went straight to Qin Zheng's residence.    

When she saw Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng was bored to death, and was flipping through some books that he had obtained from god knows where. With a quick glance, Jiu Muli realized that these were introductions for some common cultivation knowledge, and he was speechless for a moment.    

At this moment, she was truly envious of this lunatic. His cultivation was so high that he even stopped cultivating.    

Qin Zheng was also surprised that Jiu Muli would suddenly appear. Due to the lack of time, Jiu Muli had been a cultivation madman for a period of time. He immediately closed the book and asked: "What's the matter?"    

"It's not a big deal."    

Jiu Muli shook his head. He really wanted to ask Qin Zheng about the glazed palace lamp first, but then he heard a majestic aura descending from outside.    

Seeing the Principal's expression, it was clear that he had deliberately come to find Qin Zheng. Seeing this, Qin Zheng did not feel good, especially the Principal who had an unsightly expression.    

"Someone from Three Mortal Heavens has arrived." The dean said with a grave expression.    

Qin Zheng was also a little surprised, and asked: "Is this because of the advance in schedule?"    

"That's right."    

As the dean spoke, he sighed and asked, "Are you ready?"    

"Right."    

Qin Zheng nodded his head without hesitation, seeing Qin Zheng in such a state, the dean heaved a sigh of relief, he knew very clearly that since Qin Zheng had nodded, then the matter would be easy to handle. No matter what, Qin Zheng's cultivation was something he could be at ease with.    

Jiu Muli was confused when he heard it, and looked at Qin Zheng blankly.    

When Qin Zheng saw this, he remembered that Jiu Muli had been cultivating by himself these past few days, and was not aware of this matter. He couldn't help but explain, "Three Mortal Heavens is the same as Next three days, there are struggles and our Zhongzhou Academy is originally one of the eight academies in the Eastern Region of Three Mortal Heavens."    

Following Qin Zheng's and the Headmaster's explanations, Jiu Muli immediately understood why the Headmaster was so cautious.    

It turned out that Three Mortal Heavens originally had eight great academies that competed with each other. However, due to the intense internal conflicts, in the end, the eight great academies discussed together and held a ranking tournament.    

According to the terms of the ranking tournament, the last place participant must leave the Three Mortal Heavens to guard the Next three days.    

At that time, Zhongzhou Academy was ranked second in the Three Mortal Heavens, but he had offended the dean of the first academy. He was a villain who used a conspiracy to cripple the seven most outstanding disciples of the Zhongzhou Academy on the eve of a ranking competition.    

The Next three days resources were far too lacking from the Three Mortal Heavens's, to the point that it was difficult for the Zhongzhou Academy to have good results, and he did not have the chance to return to the Three Mortal Heavens. Fortunately, there would be a ranking competition once every ten years, and now, there was a new round of ranking competitions.    

This was a good news, at least in this way, as a student of the Zhongzhou Academy, she would naturally be able to follow him to the Three Mortal Heavens.    

At the same time, she also understood the dean's pressure. After all, success or failure depended on one strike, and if she failed again, she would be stuck in this barren land for the next ten years.    

"So this time, we can only rely on Qin Zheng."    

As the dean spoke, he sighed. Ten years was not a long time to a cultivator, but the difference in resources was too great.    

"Master, don't worry. We will definitely be able to return to Three Mortal Heavens this time." Jiu Muli laughed and opened his mouth, he had an idea in his heart.    

She had never been to the Three Mortal Heavens before, so she did not know the difference between the Three Mortal Heavens and Next three days, but whether it was Qin Zheng or the Principal, they both valued this place so highly.    

Qin Zheng, you should prepare well, I will go and prepare well. The Principal just came to notify Qin Zheng and then left. After all, with Qin Zheng's cultivation, there was no need for him to worry.    

After the Principal left, Jiu Muli thought for a while, then asked: "Who do you think the Principal will send this time?"    

"I am not sure. However, there are only a few people from the Inner Academy left. As for the rest, their training is too weak." Qin Zheng unintentionally said. He did not have much affection for the Zhongzhou Academy, and the only reason he came in was because Jiu Muli needed a transition period, so he did not pay too much attention to it.    

"Be serious."    

Seeing him like this, Jiu Muli was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "However, to be honest, I'm afraid it's only the few senior brothers from the Inner Academy."    

"Hmm, what's wrong with that?"    

Qin Zheng was a bit surprised. Jiu Muli wasn't someone who would speak without thinking, there must be something wrong with him speaking in such a manner.    

"There's nothing wrong with that, but I want to take part in it and see the experts of Three Mortal Heavens." Jiu Muli said, eager to give it a try.    

Her cultivation was currently in the neck bottle and it wouldn't be long before she could refine a new Kaixuan Pill. When she consumed it, she would be able to break through at any time and it would also be enough to help her principal master.    

Moreover, she really wanted to see how strong the cultivators of Three Mortal Heavens were.    

After all, they were the new generation of academies. She did not believe that the Three Mortal Heavens was really that strong.    

Qin Zheng gave Jiu Muli a deep look, and a trace of doting flashed past his eyes. Without even thinking, he nodded immediately: "Alright, I'll go arrange it."    

"Mn, then I'll go refine the Kaixuan Pill."    

Hearing this, Jiu Muli became happy, with evil spirit who had a strong power at her side, it had to be said, many times, things were really easy to settle. Immediately, she went back to her residence in peace, and started refining the Kaixuan Pill without stopping, about to go to Three Mortal Heavens, the Grade Three Mysterious Opening Pill was not only what she needed, but also what Qin Zheng needed the most.    

Only if Qin Zheng's cultivation level was higher would she be able to guarantee it in the future.    

When Jiu Muli turned a deaf ear to external affairs, the seven spots for this Ranking Tournament had already been decided. Qin Zheng was not wrong, and other than him, the other six people this time were indeed inner courtyard students. Furthermore, in terms of cultivation level, most of them were in Star Master Stage, or even higher.    

After finding out that the quota had been set, Qin Zheng immediately left his residence and rushed to the inner courtyard, arrogantly calling the other six people out.    

Of the six people, four were male and two were female. The weakest among them was at the peak of Star Master Stage, just a step away from breaking through.    

They naturally did not treat Yu Qinzheng's invitation lightly, after all, even though Qin Zheng did not bother with matters of the heart and rarely made any moves, he had easily beaten up Tian Ting Xuan and established his title as the Big Senior. Naturally, no one dared to underestimate him, so even though they were unwilling in their hearts, they still invited him out in the end, and did not dare to slight him.    

"Eldest senior brother, why did you call us here?"    

The six of them were called over by Qin Zheng and they were momentarily at a loss.    

Qin Zheng's face was filled with indifference, he remained as stiff as a block of wood. He swept his cold gaze across the six people, and said directly without even asking for their names: "Among the six of you, one of you, leave. As for who it is, you guys can decide for yourselves."    

"Why?!" One of the female students frowned, her eyes full of wariness.    

"There's no reason. I have a junior sister who is participating in the ranking competition, please give her a spot."    

Qin Zheng's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.    

and Jiu Muli's matter, everyone was clear, now that Qin Zheng had said it, there was no need to say anything, everyone knew who it was.    

This genius disciple of the outer courtyard, the disciple of the Principal, Jiu Muli!    

These people immediately exploded in anger, feeling an unprecedented amount of anger.    

"Big Senior, Junior Sister Jiu Muli's cultivation is too low, I'm afraid she is not up to the task."    

"Yeah, eldest senior brother, the ranking tournament is equivalent to a life-and-death battle. It has something to do with the academy's ranking, how can we be careless?"    

Two of the female students immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and shook their heads without hesitation.    

"It has nothing to do with her cultivation. I only want one spot, and I feel it right now." Qin Zheng's face was still cold, her tone calm and unperturbed, but it carried a sense of domineering determination.    

"Hmph, based on what? Eldest senior brother, do you think that just because you have a high cultivation you can do whatever you want in the academy? You want us to give a spot to that trash? If your rank falls behind the academy, then who's responsible?"    

The face of the male student that was walking in with the two female students immediately flushed red as he spoke with a sinister expression.    

"Eh?"    

You can't even speak properly and you dare to curse!    

Qin Zheng squinted his eyes and said coldly: "You can leave now."    

As he said this, a baleful aura flashed across his body, and he waved his sleeve.    

"You!"    

The student was enraged. However, before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly stiffened as he fell to the ground with a thump, unconscious.    

The remaining people did not even see Qin Zheng casually wave his hand and their comrades did not even have the strength to fight back.    

"Then it's settled." Qin Zheng coldly snorted, his body suddenly moved, and abruptly disappeared.    

The remaining five people looked at each other, at each other, and fell into silence. Qin Zheng's strength was too strong, it exceeded their knowledge, they did not have the courage to refute him.
