Chapter 1597: Chapter 165: Curtain Falls (Part 6)

Not long after.

Xie Xuanyi came out.

He re-wore the "All Living Beings" disguise, changed his appearance, no longer the fierce-looking Great Demon form, but he didn’t look particularly outstanding either.

Although the great battle had already come to an end.

But after all, this was the Demon Country.

The Saint Prince allowed him to stay, the Great Venerables tolerated him, but it was still inappropriate for him to appear openly in the Second Realm.

"Sir."

Ao Ying immediately recognized Xie Xuanyi, hurriedly stepping forward.

She and Xie Xuanyi were connected by their divine souls, and with the guidance of the Lotus Token, this "All Living Beings" disguise couldn’t change the soul energy aura.

"You..."

Venerable Yuan Huo was taken aback.

He looked at the young Great Demon in front of him with a completely different appearance, not daring to believe it was him.

"Brother Yuan Huo, can’t recognize me?"

Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow with a smile, having a bit of a teasing tone.

The events that occurred during this waiting period.

Ao Ying had already informed him all through the Lotus Token.

This Yuan Huo...

Was more interesting than he initially thought.

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare."

Venerable Yuan Huo quickly saluted, forcing a smile: "Earlier, I had eyes but failed to see Mount Tai, I hope the senior won’t take offense..."

He had intentionally waited until this moment.

Just to apologize to Xie Xuanyi in person.

Initially.

He always held some dissatisfaction towards this convenient junior brother he met by chance.

How could he have known.

The person before him was the Venerable Master presiding over the entire Ancient Dragon Court?

Even Qilin Miaofa True Monarch had to show him respect!

"You’re too kind."

Xie Xuanyi smiled freely, then waved his sleeve, taking out a storage bag from his Forehead Cave Heaven.

"...What is this?"

Venerable Yuan Huo was momentarily stunned.

He looked at the storage bag flying toward him, hesitating to touch it.

"The Heavenly Phoenix is already dead."

Xie Xuanyi concisely stated: "This is your ’Nine Spirits Magic Robe’, along with the items you lost earlier."

Initially.

Xie Xuanyi also harbored some discontent towards Yuan Huo.

However...

This Great Demon was very upstanding, and after recognizing him as a convenient junior brother, treated him quite well. Such a person who values emotions and righteousness, Xie Xuanyi naturally wouldn’t leave them at a disadvantage, and he placed all of Yuan Huo’s lost treasures in this bag, as well as some treasures lost in the great battle.

As for how they came to be.

Xie Xuanyi didn’t need to provide much explanation.

The two sentences he said earlier were indeed the truth.

The Heavenly Phoenix was indeed dead.

And in this storage bag were indeed Yuan Huo’s lost items.

After all, the Heavenly Phoenix was already annihilated, and the blame for robbing Yuan Huo naturally fell upon them... this is called dead men tell no tales, even if the disciples under the Heavenly Phoenix wanted to argue, they couldn’t prove it wasn’t the Heavenly Phoenix who did it.

"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!"

Venerable Yuan Huo was overjoyed.

He hadn’t really thought he’d be able to get back the ’Nine Spirits Magic Robe’.

However, the real surprise came after opening the storage bag... Yuan Huo gave it a casual glance, and none of his treasures were missing, besides that, there was an item emitting a faint golden glow, a "treasure", which was a pair of golden scissors engraved with the marks of dragon and phoenix.

"This is the ’Dragon and Phoenix Scissors’ of the Heavenly Phoenix."

Xie Xuanyi said gently: "He is dead and gone, this treasure doesn’t have an owner... don’t worry about being targeted, I’ve erased this treasure’s divine soul aura, after you return, just find a secluded place to refine it. Though this treasure is damaged, it can still be considered a top-level treasure."

The genuine ’Dragon and Phoenix Scissors’ are a Supreme Treasure.

This, however, is an imitation.

But it can still be considered a top-level Spiritual Treasure.

For Venerable Yuan Huo, this was definitely a great fortune, this ’Dragon and Phoenix Scissors’ was more precious than all his treasures combined!

"Thank... senior!"

Venerable Yuan Huo raised his head, looking at Xie Xuanyi, his Heart Lake extremely stirred, even causing his voice to tremble.

How was this a junior brother?

This was practically a foster father!

"Having met once, these are nothing."

Xie Xuanyi smiled as he waved his hand.

Cause and Effect, Cause and Effect...

Borrowing Yuan Huo’s Phoenix Blood was the cause, gifting Yuan Huo the Dragon and Phoenix Scissors was the effect.

If not for the earlier Phoenix Blood.

Everything thereafter would have been different.

...

...

"Xie, why haven’t you left yet?"

Second Realm, Sky-top Flowing Clouds.

A streak of light lazily drifted in the clouds.

Ao Ying sat on this streak of Sword Qi, her hands resting on her knees, full of confusion.

She really hadn’t expected.

After killing Nether Sea, Xie Xuanyi could still peacefully remain on Great Ape Mountain.

Those Great Venerables.

Didn’t besiege him, the Da Sui Sect Leader?

If one were to say the battle was fierce, and all the Great Divine Ability Users wanted to rest, that would be reasonable.

Logically, Xie Xuanyi at this moment should have been heading south with his sword, returning to Great Chu...

Yet, this guy not only didn’t leave but even started wandering around Great Ape Mountain.

"What’s the rush."

Xie Xuanyi crossed his arms behind his back, speaking indifferently: "Don’t you want to see some old acquaintances?"

Upon hearing this.

Ao Ying was first stunned, then her expression became pale.

She vaguely guessed Xie Xuanyi’s intention.

With a swoosh.

The sword light suddenly descended, heading toward a small mountain in the Second Realm.

This was where Peacock Venerable secluded himself for meditation, quiet all around, only core disciples with outstanding talents from Five-Colored Ridge were qualified to accompany the Master for meditation.

At this moment.

Peacock Venerable was preaching the Dao, seated on a large rock, casting Daoist Skills with a Five-Color Dharma Aspect.

Several disciples were immersed in the Great Dao.

Suddenly, a streak of Sword Qi descended, forcefully interrupting this "preaching".

Rustle.

Dust swirled around, leaves fluttering.

The demons raised their heads, looking in confusion at the figures of a man and a woman emerging from the dust.

They exchanged glances, bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist Xie——"

Peacock Venerable spoke deeply, hints of anger in his voice: "Isn’t this a bit too domineering of you?"

Though the great battle had ceased.

But after all, this was the Demon Country.

The Saint Prince allowed Xie Xuanyi to be a guest at Great Ape Mountain, Five-Colored Ridge had nothing to say about that...

But this was his mountain.

Xie Xuanyi forcibly interrupted his preaching.

Such an action was simply too disrespectful, not putting him into consideration at all!

"I apologize."

Xie Xuanyi smiled lightly, speaking sincerely: "Peacock Taoist, you left too quickly earlier, I didn’t get to stop you... today, this uninvited interruption is for an old cause and effect."

"Old... cause and effect?"

"What cause and effect?"

"Wait, this demoness... looks familiar?"

"This seems to be the one who fled from Chiling City back then..."

There were only a few qualified to listen to Peacock’s preaching.

And Prince Jiu was one of them.

At this moment.

Murmurs arose.

Ultimately, gaze after gaze fell upon Prince Jiu.

Prince Jiu wore a rather grim expression.

He kept his gaze fixated on Ao Ying.

Xie Xuanyi had used the "All Living Beings" disguise for himself, but for Ao Ying, he had lifted the Divine Soul Restriction, allowing her true face to be seen by all.

Prince Jiu clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling.

How could he not recognize...

This was the demoness who stole his "Feng Mou" back then, causing him to lose his realm and arm?
