Chapter 1882: Chapter 1882
Once she inhales these toxic fire evil qi into her body, the failure of Nascent Soul Formation is inevitable!
Therefore, as long as the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead is detonated above Green Lotus Peak, Yinyue True Person’s task will be considered completed this time.
However, just as he, possessing Zhou Baisheng’s body, revealed a smug smile, a red flame suddenly flashed by and snatched away the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead.
Realizing the dire situation, Yinyue True Person’s Soul Division hurriedly took the initiative to detonate the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead.
Detonating it in mid-air surely won’t be as effective as detonating it close to the ground.
But now is clearly not the time to worry about that.
However, when he detonates the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead, the explosion resounds thousands of feet above Green Lotus Peak. The source of thɪs content is novel_fіre.net
Before he could see clearly what happened, a silver heavenly thunder struck down from the sky, turning his Soul Division and Zhou Baisheng’s body into green smoke!
In the sky, the silhouette of a seven-colored Fire Phoenix, with wings spreading dozens of feet, appeared, sucking in the toxic fire evil qi dispersed by the explosion.
As a fifth-order Fire Phoenix that can freely roam in the subterranean fire veins, these toxic fire evil qi, which can harm ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, are a delicious delicacy in Fengyuan Monarch’s eyes, nourishing herself upon consumption.
It turns out that she sensed the immense toxic fire evil qi contained within the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead and revealed her true form just in time to swallow it whole, quickly flying away from Green Lotus Peak.
When Yinyue True Person’s Soul Division detonated it, she employed the Fire Spirit Official Body mystique to transform herself into a spirit of flame, neutralizing the impact damage from the explosion within her body.
If she didn’t have such a life-saving mystique, she might not have dared to recklessly devour such a dangerous item as the Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Bead.
Since the explosion occurred in the sky outside the Mountain Protection Array, although it was significantly loud, the actual impact was far less than Yinyue True Person expected.
Most of the scattered toxic fire evil qi was devoured by Fengyuan Monarch, and any that escaped did not enter the Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation.
Although the explosion’s sound was loud, given that the explosion’s impact energy was absorbed by Fengyuan Monarch and the Mountain Protection Array, just the mere sound could not possibly affect Luo Qingni, who was protected by layers of restrictive arrays.
Thus, the greatest impact of this incident was on the Zhou Family cultivators!
"I never expected that with the Zhou Family’s current prestige and status, there would still be clan members betraying the family and colluding with outsiders to destroy the family spirit veins!"
"If it weren’t for Fengyuan Monarch today, Elder Luo not only might have failed in her Nascent Soul Formation, but even the mountain gate’s spirit vein foundation could have been corrupted, causing irreparable damage to the family!"
On Green Lotus Peak, Zhou Chun stood sternly at the site of Zhou Baisheng’s demise, his words causing Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu beside him to lower their heads.
Zhou Baisheng had already been reduced to green smoke by a heavenly thunder from the Silver Dragon Monarch, but the problem he exposed was grave.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhou Family, a blood pure Zhou descendant, actually collaborated with outsiders to sabotage the family’s spirit veins— such a fact is a disgrace to speak of.
No wonder Zhou Chun, usually humble and amiable in front of elders, was now fuming.
"This matter is my negligence. I will deeply reflect, thoroughly investigate everything, and give the family and Zhengchun a satisfactory explanation!"
Though Zhou Daoyi felt a mix of anger and shock, he kept a composed face and took responsibility, making a statement.
Lin Hongyu, seeing this, also spoke softly, "I am also responsible. If I had acted faster to capture that junior, perhaps none of this would have happened!"
"Uncle, Aunt, you need not blame yourselves. My anger is not directed at you two but is for those shortsighted juniors who are so pitifully laughable!"
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, offering some words of comfort to his elders, then solemnly said, "It seems that after Elder Luo succeeds in Nascent Soul Formation, the family must conduct an internal inspection to educate. We must make those juniors realize how ridiculous and pathetic it is to betray the family for trivial gains!"
"Zhengchun, you’re right. I have always despised traitors who betray the family. If I discover anyone else colluding with external forces to sell out the family interests, I’ll make sure they die or worse!!"
Zhou Daoyi said grimly, clearly genuinely infuriated.
When Zhou Baisheng reached Foundation Establishment, it was precisely when he resumed command of family affairs, and this incident has thoroughly embarrassed him.
How could he not be exceedingly angry?
