There were about 30 people in front of the Nine Feather Pagoda. They were all looking forward with solemn expressions.
A few months ago, there had been a riot in the Nine Feather Pagoda. Hua Haoqiong had not only sent out a dozen experts to suppress the Nine Feather Pagoda, but he had also sent out a part of his manpower to set up an Origin Formation in a radius of five miles.
Now, Hua Haoqiong was standing in front of the pagoda. He clapped his hands and a beam of light shot into the pagoda, creating a ripple of light.
"With your current cultivation, it's best that you don't come into direct contact with the Nine Feather Phoenix. After two hours, no matter what the situation is, I will forcibly pull you out of the pagoda."
Hua Haoqiong's voice was serious. The Nine Feather Phoenix was an Ancient Ferocious Beast. Even Xiao Chenxin's soul had been devoured by it. He did not want to see Ye Chen suffer the same fate.
"Yes, Master." Ye Chen nodded. He stepped forward and walked to the front of the pagoda.
Squeak!
An ear-piercing sound was emitted from the ancient bronze door. The sealing Yuan Formation in front of him slowly disappeared, and a berserk aura that seemed to come from the primordial era directly assaulted Ye Chen's face, causing his body to suddenly quiver.
"Open!"
Hua Haoqiong shouted angrily. The Origin Formation shattered, and an extremely strong suction force whizzed out from the pagoda.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen flashed his body and rushed in like a beam of light.
At the same time, the door closed. Countless Origin Formation Seals covered the bronze door again. The entire space became dead silent again. Only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard.
Standing in front of the pagoda, Hua Haoqiong's eyes were filled with worry. He whispered, "Ye Chen, I'm counting on you."
Inside the Nine Feather Pagoda, Ye Chen looked around. He could immediately feel an extremely wild aura filling the air, causing his Origin Sea to tremble.
"The Nine Feather Phoenix is an Ancient Ferocious Beast. Now that it has broken the seal, it has not directly broken through the shackles. It seems that it has not fully recovered its strength." Ye Chen stepped forward and rushed toward the tenth floor.
He was no stranger to the Nine Feather Phoenix. In fact, he was very familiar with it.
This Ancient Ferocious Beast that lived by killing would not be willing to be bound here. Once it found an opportunity to break through the seal, the first thing it would be to kill.
. of the Nine Feather Phoenix had the Soul Devouring Divine Ability. Even Saint Realm experts would have their souls devoured by it......... and Xiao Chenxin was the best example......
Thus, for an entire fifteen years, the Ascension Sect had not managed to kill him.
... but Nine Feather Fefefefefefefefefefefefefefe.
No one dared to enter the tenth floor of the Nine Feather Pagoda, not even a sword cultivator like Hua Haoqiong.
Soon, he arrived at the ninth floor.
This place was already extremely close to the lair of the Nine Feather Phoenix. The ground had a scarlet color, as if it had been soaked in blood. It was somewhat frightening. Ye Chen used his Thousand Illusion Art to suppress the aura inside his body. His soul power turned into a sword and a shield, hovering on both sides of his body.
He did not dare to be careless. He had to take each step carefully.
Just as Ye Chen was about to step into the tenth floor, a misty white mist suddenly enveloped the entire space, causing his tense nerves to tremble. The black divine sword released a tyrannical sword Qi, completely shattering the white mist. At the same time, he also retreated a dozen steps and vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
More than ten minutes passed. The entire ninth floor was still silent.
Ye Chen was about to move on when a figure appeared in his field of vision.
This figure was a middle-aged man. He wore a white robe and stepped on the fog. However, at this moment, there was a hint of fear in his eyes. As he walked towards Ye Chen, his body emitted a thick white fog that covered the entire area.
"Why is there someone else in the Nine Feather Tower?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. He felt that he had seen the man somewhere before. He looked very familiar.
Xiao Chenxin!
A thought flashed across Ye Chen's mind. The white-robed man in front of him was the leader of the Yuhua Sect, Xiao Chenxin.
While Ye Chen was still in shock, the white mist had become so thick that he could barely see anything. Ye Chen held the Soul Destroyer Sword in his hand and looked at the white-robed man in shock. He was very sure that this was not an illusion. However, why would Xiao Chenxin, who had become a living dead, appear here?
Hadn't his soul been devoured by the Nine-feathered Phoenix?
"You are wearing the Yuhua Sect's inner disciple uniform. It seems that you are a disciple of the Yuhua Sect."
Xiao Chenxin walked over slowly and smiled faintly. "The white mist in front of you is formed by the power of the soul. It can block the soul of the Nine-feathered Phoenix. Therefore, you don't have to worry about it."
"Formed by the power of the soul?"
Ye Chen was slightly shocked. He tried to use his soul tendrils to touch the white mist. As expected, his soul tendrils were instantly cut off.
"Don't worry. I am not an illusion of the Nine-feathered Phoenix. Although my soul was devoured by the Nine-feathered Phoenix, my soul was not destroyed. I survived in the body of the Nine-feathered Phoenix in a parasitic way. Now that the Nine-feathered Phoenix has not recovered from its injuries, I can leave its body and move freely."
Hearing Xiao Chenxin's words, Ye Chen was somewhat convinced. If the Nine-feathered Phoenix was able to release such a large amount of soul mist, even if he had the Soul Destroyer Sword and the Soul Suppression Shield, he would have no chance of escaping.
"If you can move freely, why don't you leave the Nine-feathered Tower?" Ye Chen asked as he stared at Xiao Chenxin.
"I have not entered the Saint Plane, so I cannot fully control the power of the soul. Moreover, I am only a remnant soul now. I have to rely on the Nine-feathered Phoenix to survive. Although I can move freely in the tower, I cannot leave it for too long. A parasite can only survive by relying on its host."
Xiao Chenxin spoke very casually. However, Ye Chen's heart trembled. The grand Ascension Sect's sectmaster, a peerless genius, had no choice but to rely on an Ancient Era's Ferocious Beast for the sake of survival.
"When you stepped into the Nine-feathered Tower, I felt your presence. You are very strong. Although you are only at the Fifth Sky of Truth, you have mastered two major soul spells, a sword and a shield. You are good at both offense and defense. Even I am ashamed of my inferiority. May I know who your master is?" Xiao Chenxin looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of admiration.
"Although I am learning in the Yuhua Sect, my master is Wu Zhenzi and Duan Chongyu," Ye Chen replied.
"So it is Master Duan. No wonder you have such achievements."
Xiao Chenxin smiled with relief. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Ye Chen's hand. He frowned slightly and asked, "Is that Nine Suns Sacred Grass in your hand?"
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded. The Nine Suns Sacred Grass could calm the Nine-feathered Phoenix. If it suddenly went berserk, Ye Chen could use the Nine Suns Sacred Grass to leave the Nine-feathered Tower safely.
"The Nine Suns Saint Grass is an item of extreme Yang energy. It can only be found in the Yuehua Continent. I believe that you all have paid quite a price for it. If I had known about the ruthless nature of the Nine Feather Phoenix back then, I'm afraid that I would not have ended up like this."
As he spoke, Xiao Chenxin's face showed pain. He let out a long sigh and looked at Ye Chen. Just as he was about to speak, a terrifying gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing away the white mist.
