Chapter 2216: Luo Ruoxi, Lingxi Divine Sovereign!

"Ah?"

The four titled experts who were attacking were all stunned, their power uncertain whether to strike or stop.

Hadn't the Undying Lord's will just said to kill this guy?

Now he suddenly ran over saying "little pet" and "die die," playing dumb and acting cute...

Why did this feel so wrong?

Was this really their aloof, disdainful lord?

But before they could ponder long, a scolding rang out. The phoenix projection glared angrily: "Stop! Attacking my master, are you asking for death? The moment you meet, you start fighting, fighting—can't you solve problems peacefully? Energy is scattering everywhere, have you no public decency? Others have to go to work tomorrow!"

Boom!

The air shook, and the combined attack of the three titled experts dissipated into nothing, as if it had never existed.

"..." The three titled experts were about to go mad.

Could it be that the little yellow chicken had already possessed him?

Not only them, but the little yellow chicken struggling with him and Zhang Xuan were also frozen in place.

Just a moment ago, he wanted to tear him apart upon hearing he was his master; now, in the blink of an eye, he was this respectful, as respectful as could be...

Undying Lord, did you have to be such a goof?

"Could it be that the Undying Lord's true nature is like this?"

Thinking of the little yellow chicken's unreliability, Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

The yellow chicken was the will produced from his rebirth, which should be similar to his own temperament. If so, then this shameless character of the Undying Lord could be understood.

But...

What he couldn't understand was why he hadn't acknowledged him as master before, but suddenly did now?

Could it be related to... the pendant?

The change in his attitude occurred because the pendant appeared and emitted warmth.

Could it be that he recognized this thing...

Thinking this, he couldn't hold back and looked over: "Do you recognize this? Then... do you know where Luo Ruoxi is?"

He had originally planned to go to the Spirit God Palace to find Luo Ruoxi, but now that he had caused such a commotion outside the palace, with half of it collapsed, and she still hadn't appeared, it could only mean one thing...

She wasn't here!

"Luo Ruoxi?"

The phoenix was startled, a hint of confusion in its eyes.

"She's the owner of this thing..." Zhang Xuan held up the pendant.

This was the Spirit Source Heaven, and the Undying Lord was a Spirit God... If he couldn't find Luo Ruoxi here, he would never find her.

"This is the blood of the... God of Gods. I see. The Luo Ruoxi you speak of is Lingxi Divine Sovereign!"

The phoenix suddenly understood.

"Lingxi Divine Sovereign?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback, suddenly recalling that back in the Master Teacher Continent, when he disguised himself as Luo Tianya, the name Luo Ruoxi had used as a disguise... seemed to be Lingxi!

Back then, he had happily said that no matter how far apart they were, at the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea, their hearts would be connected, one thought linking them...

"Yes, that's Lingxi Divine Sovereign. Where is she?"

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan's whole body tensed.

He had always suspected that Luo Ruoxi might be a false name. Now it seemed it was true. Even her identity as a Spirit God might be fake, but... her real name, she had already told him!

Only, it had appeared in the form of a pseudonym...

Truth becomes false when false is true; nothingness becomes existence where existence is nothing!

It was only then that he was lost in bewilderment!

"Lingxi Divine Sovereign is the Great Lord of the Freedom Heaven, so naturally she is in the Freedom Heaven..." The phoenix looked at him in confusion.

This one before him had taken him as a spirit pet, yet didn't even know the names of the Nine Lords?

"Freedom Heaven?" Zhang Xuan stiffened, his face turning pale as he murmured: "I should have thought of that..."

Of the Nine Lords, he already knew the names of eight, only the Freedom Heaven unknown. When she said Lingxi Divine Sovereign, he should have realized it immediately.

After all this fuss, Luo Ruoxi was not in the Spirit Source Heaven, but in the Freedom Heaven at the center of the Divine Realm.

Seeing his expression, the phoenix suddenly recalled something and said: "That one from the Freedom Heaven has a life-or-death duel with the Tianzong Lord, which will begin on the full moon night of this month..."

Though it was just a will sealed within the phoenix statue, it still knew something of what happened in the Divine Realm.

Especially the duel between two lords.

"Life-or-death duel? Full moon night... five days from now?"

His pupils contracted, and Zhang Xuan's body trembled.

He had heard about this duel since arriving in the Divine Realm. At the time, he thought that Master Teacher Kong would surely win and didn't pay it much attention. Now he realized that he was going to duel... with Luo Ruoxi!

And it was a life-or-death duel!

Didn't that mean that once the battle began, one of them would surely fall?

"Yes. Normally, duels between lords cannot involve life and death, but these two have made such a decision, to fight to the death. There must be a special reason, which even I don't know..."

The phoenix projection explained.

"I must go to the Freedom Heaven and stop them..."

Clenching his teeth, Zhang Xuan's body went rigid.

Luo Ruoxi was his only love, and Master Teacher Kong, though he had never met him, was like a mentor who had greatly helped him. Without him, he wouldn't have grown so fast or reached his current strength.

These two were too important to him; neither could be allowed to come to harm!

"Stop them? They have made their decision—who can stop them?"

The phoenix projection turned to look at the little yellow chicken not far away and shook its head: "Even at my peak, I was no match for them, let alone now..."

Zhang Xuan paused.

Normally, Luo Ruoxi was a lord. With the commotion he had caused in the Netherworld Heaven and the Exquisite Heaven, she would surely know, yet she hadn't appeared...

This meant she didn't want to see him!

Why didn't she want to see him?

It was highly likely related to this great battle.

But...

Why a life-or-death duel?

"Luo Ruoxi came to the Master Teacher Continent to find the Spring and Autumn Canon... and this thing was refined by Master Teacher Kong with all his life's effort, fusing all his energy and strength..."

Though Luo Ruoxi had never stated her purpose in coming to the Master Teacher Continent, he understood it.

After obtaining the canon, she directly tore through space and left. Without thinking, it was clear she had come for this item.

Previously, he had wondered why a lord would care so much about a treasure from a small place like the Master Teacher Continent. Now he understood: it was probably to prepare for her duel with Master Teacher Kong!

"Why does she want to kill Master Teacher Kong?"

His mind reeling, Zhang Xuan felt as if he was about to explode.

Lords also had competitions. Master Teacher Kong had successively challenged the eight lords, all of whom stopped at a touch, and the other eight lords were all still alive...

Why, when dueling with the last one, the Freedom Heaven, did it have to be a fight to the death?

"Even if I can't dissuade them, I must go and ask clearly, find out what exactly happened..."

He gritted his teeth.

With his current strength, he indeed couldn't interfere in a duel between lords, but... so what?

No matter how difficult, he would try, even if he failed, he would find out why they were dueling and what was involved.

Why did it have to be a fight to the death?
