Heaven-defying Phoenix

2Jiu Muli immediately felt that the poison in his body was being continuously absorbed by the black lotus.     2

    

Gradually, the poison from Qin Zheng's body was also being sucked out, and all of the poison within cave was being absorbed by the black lotus.    

    

After absorbing all the poison, the lotus blossomed once more, emitting a devilish black glow. Anyone who took a glance at it would feel as though their entire gaze would be sucked in.    

    

At this moment, Jiu Muli knew that this lotus contained all the poisons in the world.    

    

"Looks like I really don't have to worry about being poisoned anymore."    

    

Jiu Muli secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed with excitement.    

    

Although he did not know how to use the Lotus for the time being, but by relying on its ability to absorb the poison, Jiu Muli felt that he had reaped an extraordinary harvest.    

    

Was this considered a blessing in disguise?    

    

Jiu Muli wasn't happy for a moment. Looking at the heavily injured Qin Zheng, and then looking at the cave entrance not far away, she hesitated for a bit. In the end, she didn't choose to leave right away.    

    

There were no longer any poisonous snakes in the cave, so she was not worried about being attacked anymore. However, Qin Zheng's injuries were severe, if she were to leave now, and be discovered by others, she would definitely make a move against Qin Zheng.    

    

After all, Qin Zheng's cultivation was too strong, and had always been an existence that everyone feared the most. Now that he was heavily injured, if others knew about it, they would not let him go.    

    

Furthermore, long ago, Jiu Muli had already sensed that there was a strange seal in Qin Zheng's body. From the moment Qin Zheng's cultivation dropped, she knew that the strange seal had activated.    

    

Jiu Muli had never seen this weird seal before, and with her current abilities, there was nothing she could do. She could only wait for Qin Zheng to wake up and take care of it herself.    

    

Thinking about it this way, she became more and more unwilling to go out. She found a clean place to lie down and started to treat Qin Zheng's wounds.    

    

There were many, many wounds on Qin Zheng's body, all of them densely packed, some of them deep enough to see bones, but none of them were serious. To cultivators, skin injuries, as long as they had cultivation base, were easy to repair.    

    

It was just that unfortunately, she did not have any good healing medicine on her, and could only barely use the remaining medicinal ingredients from when she was refining the Kaixuan Pill, barely concocting a little medicinal liquid to stop the bleeding.    

    

After finishing all of her work, she would stand guard by the side, quietly waiting for Qin Zheng to wake up.    

    

She did not know how long it would take for Qin Zheng's cultivation to drop, but she had made up her mind. Since the other party's cultivation had not recovered, she did not plan to leave.    

    

Unknowingly, time had passed. Jiu Muli originally wanted to meditate and recover, but he was too tired and in the end, fell into a deep sleep.    

    

It was unknown when, but the cave's entrance had become bright. Fragments of sunlight snuck in and dispersed the darkness of the cave.    

    

At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.    

    

His body suddenly trembled, following that, his cultivation level started to increase rapidly, with the Blood Coagulation Stage s continuously climbing higher and higher, quickly reaching the Ninth level of the Blood Coagulation Stage, and then the Starer Stage s, followed up with a rocket like increase in cultivation level.    

    

Starer, Star Master, Star Spirits, Star Profound, and even Star King Stage, the progress of Qin Zheng's cultivation was still as fierce as before. However, right at this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared on his body, as if there was an invisible large hand stopping his cultivation from continuing to climb, in the end he had no choice but to stop at Star King Stage.    

    

Sensing the change in his body, Qin Zheng seemed to have long since gotten used to it and did not even frown.    

    

He abruptly sat up, but soon after, he frowned slightly. He discovered that his simple action had actually affected the wounds on his body.    

    

He lowered his head and examined his wounds. They had already been treated and treated in great detail. Although he didn't use any medicine, it still made his condition much better than yesterday's injuries.    

    

Sensing the subtle changes in his body, his gaze couldn't help but soften. He knew that it was definitely Jiu Muli who had done this.    

    

Jiu Muli's light and even breathing fell into his ears. He turned his head to look, only to discover that Jiu Muli's back was leaning against a large rock, as she sat beside him and fell into a deep sleep, even protecting him on the inside.    

    

His gaze instantly softened as he looked fixedly at Jiu Muli. With a flick of his storage ring fingers, he immediately changed into a set of profound robes.    

    

The original clothes had long since become tattered and could no longer be worn.    

    

"You're awake?"    

    

Jiu Muli woke up at this moment, and discovered that Qin Zheng was looking at him. His heart couldn't help but jump.    

    

After a night of rest, her exhaustion was completely gone and her spirit was much better. The injuries on her body were no longer plagued by the poison and they were slowly recovering. Now, all of her blood had stopped flowing.    

    

"Mm. Change your clothes."    

    

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, looking at Jiu Muli, he slowly nodded his head. The current Jiu Muli was dressed in tattered clothes, so it was impossible for him to go out to meet others.    

    

Jiu Muli also felt that she was in a sorry state, thought for a bit, and still wore a clean set of dress. With Qin Zheng here facing her, she didn't dare to take off her tattered clothes, and directly wore it underneath.    

    

"Let's go out."    

    

In the end, Qin Zheng didn't say much and indifferently spoke.    

    

"Your cultivation has recovered?" Jiu Muli was a little surprised.    

    

"Right."    

    

Qin Zheng replied. When Jiu Muli heard this, his expression relaxed, she wanted to ask what exactly happened with the seal, but in the end she decided to hold it in. Everyone has their own secrets.    

    

But hearing that Qin Zheng was in a hurry to leave, she still worriedly asked: "Are you going out now? What about your injuries? "    

    

Eh?    

    

Qin Zheng looked at Jiu Muli doubtfully, and said: "What does this have to do with my injuries?"    

    

"You have quite a number of enemies outside, right? You are heavily injured so you cannot fight against others. If others were to notice, then you would be in danger. I already thought about this yesterday, otherwise I would have left already."    

    

Jiu Muli thought, and still thought that he should explain himself.    

    

She didn't know if Qin Zheng was truly not scheming or if he was fearless, but ever since she met Qin Zheng, she had realized that he was not very good at scheming, but it could also be an illusion. It was hard for her to be sure right now.    

    

"It's fine."    

    

Qin Zheng's gaze fell on Jiu Muli's face, and his expression eased up, and he said: "With our cultivations, they won't be able to do anything to me."    

    

"Alright then."    

    

Jiu Muli thought about it, and in the end, nodded her head. Since Qin Zheng had already decided, it would be useless even if she did not nod her head.    

    

"Then let's go!"    

    

Inside the Qin Kingdom's imperial palace, it was as quiet as ever.    

    

Ye Kewu sat alone in the hall, looking at the rising sun in the east direction, his brows knitted together slightly.    

    

However, even so, he still felt very satisfied. At his level of power, besides luck, the only way to improve was to suffer and cultivate every day.    

    

As he felt the spiritual energy roiling in his body, he thought back to how he was still being eroded by the blood curse a few days ago.    

    

"Jiu Muli, I don't blame this king for not going to save you, I really can't do anything."    

    

Thinking about Jiu Muli, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.    

    

"Qin Zheng, are you going to come out alive?"    

    

Very quickly, he recalled the Qin Zheng who had attacked Bai Huaxian without any hesitation, and in the end, snuck into the cave with abnormal determination.    

    

It had already been a night, but Qin Zheng was still unable to come out from the snake cave. He felt that Qin Zheng was probably not in a good situation.    

    

The terror of the cave was not something that a cultivator at his level could intrude into. At the very least, as someone who was familiar with the secrets of the cave, he was very clear on the terrifying existence inside.    

    

He regretted that Jiu Muli had died. After all, such a genius, and a peerless beauty like her, but he had missed out on her in the end. Other than feeling regretful, he did not have any other regrets.    

    

As for taking revenge for Jiu Muli, he had never thought that the Hundred Flowers Palace was not something he could handle.    

    

He was naturally selfish and would not do something that would not benefit him.    

    

Inside the Qin Kingdom's Imperial Palace, the high throne of the Kaiser had a calm expression, making people think that he still had victory in his grasp. But only he himself knew, that right now he was extremely anxious, with an indescribable grievance and anger.    

    

It was for no other reason than the woman in front of him.    

    

She was a woman that the entire Qin Kingdom could not afford to offend, to the point that even the several great sect in the world did not want to offend her, to the point of death. She was Bai Huaxian, the Palace Mistress's Palace Mistress.    

    

"Your Majesty, this evil creature called Prince Zheng has committed a great sin, and has even offended my Hundred Flowers Palace. It should be dealt with by my Hundred Flowers Palace.    

    

Bai Huaxian said indifferently, but under his calm tone, it contained overflowing rage and killing intent.    

    

Although the Kaiser had sealed off the news, if the Prince Zheng did not die, then where would she, Bai Huaxian, be able to put her face? How could Jiu Tianxue hold his head up high in the future?    

    

Therefore, Prince Zheng had to die. Only if he died, would Jiu Tianxue's innocence be preserved. Only if Prince Zheng died, would Jiu Tianxue's nightmare be broken.    

    

What happened yesterday had already made her completely become Jiu Tianxue's heart demon, and now, she had almost gone insane. How could she let something happen to Jiu Tianxue when a genius who carried a Emperor Bone was even her daughter?    

    

I assume that palace master participated in the plot that Lord Zheng plotted that day. You can't blame this matter alone. Besides, he is my child, so I will give you an explanation. Does palace lord really plan on making this known to everyone?    

    

Kaiser's face sank, and for a moment, he was somewhat helpless. Bai Huaxian's strength was something he could do nothing about, but he could not simply hand over Prince Zheng to him. After all, this was not his fault alone.    

    

Who could they blame for such a thing? Moreover, for him to hand over the Prince Zheng so easily, who would he, the Qin Kingdom, have any face left?    

    

Prince Zheng was in the wrong, and indeed deserved to die, but it was not the turn of the Hundred Flowers Palace's men to kill him.    

    

To dare to secretly harm Jiu Muli, Kaiser was already very dissatisfied with Bai Huaxian and the rest, and now he even dared to criticize them, how could he let them off easy?    

    

"It seems that the Emperor really intends to make an enemy out of this Palace Mistress and make himself an enemy of this Hundred Flowers Palace."    

    

She had been grinding her teeth with Kaiser for a long time, but Kaiser had never let her go.
