She became a god

Zhao Huai'an forced Gong Ling back with his Chunyang Sword, then looked at the newcomer. He saw that she had snow-white skin and a beautiful face, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and her cultivation was on par with his own. "Are you Lianxiang?"

"It's me."

Ye Qingzhou thought to himself that this was bad. If Zhao Huai'an was evenly matched with Lianxiang, wouldn't Xiyu and Xiaofeng be able to free up their hands to deal with him and Ye Mengying?

Moreover, Zhao Huai'an was only trying to establish his authority; he certainly wouldn't fight to the death with Lianxiang, who was also at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage, for their sake.

The three from Canghai Pavilion clearly thought the same thing. Lianxiang fought with Zhao Huai'an, while Xiyu and the other two pressed towards Ye Qingzhou and the others.

The "Mirror of Love and Lust" couldn't withstand more than a few moves from these two powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

Seeing the treasure mirror crack open, Ye Qingzhou felt both heartache and worry. What should he do?

[Could it be that not only will I not earn any money this time, but I'll also have to ask the Queen Mother to pay for my ransom? If that's the case, it would be such a disgrace to the bear!]

Ye Mengying's face showed despair. Was fate really going to let her fall into the hands of those two crazy women again?

Just then, a phoenix cry resounded through the sky.

Ye Mengying's face lit up with joy, "Princess Qingluan has arrived!"

A phantom of a blue phoenix suddenly appeared, blocking Ye Qingzhou and the others' path. It transformed into human form, its spiritual power surging, revealing it to be a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

"Xiyu, Xiaofeng, I am here today, you must not act rashly!"

Seeing this, Xiyu and the others had already considered retreating. If they were in their prime, they could fight Qingluan, but they were injured because Zhao Huai'an broke the formation, and their strength had declined, so they were naturally no match for Qingluan.

Just as they were in a dilemma, Lianxiang said, "Let's give up! We'll learn from each other another day."

Yes, they were all doing it for Qingluan.

Since the Azure Phoenix has come out of the mountain, there will be plenty of opportunities to capture it; there's no need for a direct confrontation.

After the three from Canghai Pavilion retreated, Ye Mengying immediately rushed into Qingluan's arms, her eyes filled with affection, "Sister Qingluan."

Although Qingluan was not very familiar with Ye Mengying, she felt sorry for the young girl who had been imprisoned for several months, so she let her vent her grievances.

Ye Qingzhou did not disturb them, but flew over to Zhao Huai'an.

"Lord Zhao deserves great credit for rescuing Fellow Daoist Ye Mengying this time."

Zhao Huai'an laughed and said, "It's all thanks to young friend Ye's strategy."

"I have another matter I would like to ask the city lord for help with. My elder brother Yuantong and fellow Daoist Wenxichun have drawn away the enemy, and now they may be besieged by the Canghai Pavilion disciples. Please send people to support them."

"This city lord has already sent people to meet us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou was overjoyed, "The City Lord is wise!"

He then offered some words of praise, which pleased Zhao Huai'an.

At this moment, Qingluan also came over to express her gratitude, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Zhao. I owe you a favor."

Zhao Huai'an was overjoyed, "It is my great fortune to be able to associate with Fellow Daoist Qingluan."

Although Qingluan has been stripped of her title as princess, she is still the only daughter of the former patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, a princess recognized by Heaven, and carries the destiny of the Phoenix Clan.

The current patriarch of the Phoenix Clan and ruler of the Demon Realm is her aunt, and she has no children. If she does not have any offspring in the future, the Phoenix Clan will eventually return to Qingluan.

Even if the Phoenix Clan has other heirs in the future, Qingluan is still a true Phoenix Clan prince, and he is exceptionally talented. He will at least attain the Great Ascension stage of cultivation in the future.

Befriending Qingluan would be entirely beneficial, so Zhao Huai'an was naturally delighted.

In comparison, the gifts that the Night Family of the Underworld might offer would be insignificant.

"Fellow Daoist Qingluan has come from afar. Why don't you come to Qingcheng for a chat, and let me do my part as a host?"

Qingluan didn't want to waste time, but the other party had just helped save her sister-in-law, and refusing would make her seem impolite.

Furthermore, Qingcheng has many powerful figures, making it safer.

Therefore, Qingluan replied with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Zhao to entertain me."

Qingluan and Zhao Huai'an walked in front, with Ye Qingzhou and Ye Mengying following closely behind.

That night, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Ye Qingzhou looked at Wen Xichun and Yuantong, and seeing that their injuries were not serious, he felt relieved.

After the banquet, Ye Qingzhou immediately gave each of them three drops of Changchun Dew to heal their injuries.

"Zhouzhou, you had Everlasting Dew and didn't tell me?"

Ye Qingzhou said with a bitter face, "I only got two bottles in total. I gave one to Xiyu and kept the other for myself. If you two hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out. I haven't even used it myself yet!"

Yuantong immediately comforted him, saying, "Since you were able to get two bottles, you'll definitely get more in the future."

Wen Xichun nodded in agreement.

Ye Qingzhou blinked. "What magical treasure did you two steal? Did you succeed?"

Although Ye Qingzhou calculated that there was a magical treasure and suggested that Wen Xichun and the others steal it, she really didn't know what the treasure was.

Actually, if Ye Qingzhou were willing to calculate it again, he could have figured it out.

But she didn't want to waste her luck on such trivial matters.

Even as a princess of a clan, her fortune far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.

But who would complain about having too much luck?

The circular passageway is "the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl."

"The legendary thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls?"

Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls combined form a top-grade Heaven-level magic weapon, twenty-four combined form a low-grade Heaven-level magic weapon, twelve combined form a mid-grade Earth-level magic weapon, and one Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is a high-grade Profound-level magic weapon.

"Yes, but we only got one."

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhou felt a little regretful but also content. "It's good enough to get one. But is there another reason why Canghai Pavilion values ​​the Dinghai Pearl so much? Have you received any information during your days of infiltration?"

Wen Xichun and the other exchanged a glance and tacitly concealed some information.

Clearly, neither of them wanted Ye Qingzhou to discover that he had once been a member of the Canghai Pavilion.

So Wen Xichun answered first, "I only heard that it was for a big event, and to accomplish that event, we need the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, as well as a certain item on Princess Qingluan's body."

[It seems something big is about to happen, otherwise Canghai Pavilion wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Princess Qingluan even if they had a hundred lives.]

[I wonder what momentous event could have prompted the combined efforts of three holy envoys. How strange, how very strange. I hope it doesn't affect my little panda clan.]

"Brother, have you heard any other news?"

Yuantong sighed, "Canghai Pavilion didn't just start preparing for that big event recently; it's been planning it for a long time."

"How long exactly?"

"It will take at least a hundred years."

"A century-long plan, then it must have been planned before Qingluan was crippled. Why didn't you target Qingluan then?"

Wen Xichun was puzzled. "Why wait until now?"

"Perhaps Zhouzhou knows the answer to this question."

"The matter of Qingluan being deposed is an internal affair of my demon race, and I do know a thing or two about it."

Firstly, the Qingluan was crippled very suddenly, which was unexpected by all living beings, so it is normal that the Canghai Pavilion was unable to react in time.

Secondly, when Qingluan was first deposed, the Demon Lord was actually closely monitoring her whereabouts, waiting for her to repent and soften her stance, but he never expected that she would actually retreat for love. Naturally, Canghai Pavilion was even less likely to expect that Qingluan would truly break with the Phoenix Clan.

Thirdly, Qingluan, as a princess of the Phoenix Clan, possesses a companion spiritual treasure: the Phoenix Feather Robe. This item is a low-grade Heavenly-level defensive magic treasure, protecting its owner from spiritual power and poisons, and also concealing their aura. The Canghai Pavilion likely lacks a magic treasure capable of breaking through the Phoenix Feather Robe's concealment function, which is why they started with Ye Mengying.

"I see. So, is the Canghai Pavilion seeking out Princess Qingluan for the Phoenix Feather Robe?"

Although Wen Xichun asked this question, she already knew it wasn't true; she just wanted Yuantong to answer it.

As expected, Yuantong kept his promise and immediately replied, "The information I have gathered is that they are plotting to obtain an heirloom from Princess Qingluan's mother."

"The mother of the Azure Phoenix was the previous patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, and the relics she left behind must be of great use. What exactly is the Canghai Pavilion up to?"

Yuantong glanced at Wen Xichun and knew that the other party also did not want to tell Ye Qingzhou.

Ultimately, neither of them wanted Ye Qingzhou to get involved in the trouble that was about to unfold.

Knowing less is actually a good thing.
