Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Snatching the Phoenix Blood Flower

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two disciples of the Meng Family pulled the triggers on their crossbows, two black glows shooting toward the Phoenix Blood Flower halfway up the mountain.

In fact, what was shot were two small hooks, connected by a transparent line like fishing wire.

This was not fishing wire, but Ice Silkworm Silk, extremely tough.

The two iron hooks, one precisely caught the flower stalk of the Phoenix Blood Flower, the other caught the blossom.

The three-hundred-year-old Phoenix Blood Flower had already developed spiritual awareness, curling its leaves at the slightest touch. It could sense danger, and if people approached, it would definitely retract into the mountain. So this method was the most stable.

Even with spiritual awareness, the flower was not as clever as humans. Once hooked, it was impossible to retract into the mountain and was forcibly pulled out.

Only then did everyone see the full appearance of the Phoenix Blood Flower, a flower resembling a phoenix head, two petals like a phoenix’s wings, and its stem swaying behind, shaped like a Fire Phoenix.

In fact, the Phoenix Blood Flower didn’t have the ability to burrow into mountains. After being pulled down, the crowd vaguely saw a football-sized hole halfway up the mountain, and the Phoenix Flower seemed to have grown through it.

Looking at the falling Phoenix Blood Flower, Meng Yiran’s eyes were fervent, shouting, "Ice Silkworm Silk Net."

Two of the Meng Family disciples immediately opened a white net, ready to catch the falling Phoenix Blood Flower.

Qin Yi listened to Liu Yiren recount the on-site situation, involuntarily frowning as he sighed softly.

Actually, this kind of spiritual medicine requires a special method to pick to effectively ensure its efficacy. The Meng Family’s method was indeed too reckless, likely losing much of the medicine’s efficacy.

However, just as the Phoenix Blood Flower was about to fall into the Ice Silkworm Silk Net, a whip suddenly streaked across the sky, wrapping around the flower and snatching it away instantly.

Meng Yiran, Ruan Yingzong, and Ruan Letong’s faces changed drastically.

Not far away, seven figures stood in a row, the Phoenix Blood Flower in the hand of one of them.

"Who are you people?" Meng Yiran shouted angrily.

The meat near the mouth flew away, causing Ruan Yingzong and Ruan Letong’s old faces to darken.

These seven people were the ones Qin Yi had seen before.

One of them said with a smile, "Meng Estate, we’ll be taking this Phoenix Blood Flower! Thank you!"

"Are you from the Hunter Corps?" Meng Yiran saw through the seven people’s identities.

"Family Head Meng, good eyes. We have our eyes on the Phoenix Blood Flower and do not wish to increase casualties. So, farewell!"

Taking the Phoenix Blood Flower and retreating was something the seven had planned long ago.

"Where do you think you’re going? Leave the Phoenix Blood Flower!" Ruan Yingzong roared, echoing through the mountains and forests.

Opposite, the man holding the Phoenix Blood Flower sneered coldly, "I know your Ruan Family has power and influence, but you don’t have the qualification to order us around."

"I’m Cao Qi. If you want revenge, feel free to come find me."

"But now, take a good look. If we start fighting, who do you think will come out worse?"

Ruan Yingzong’s eyes were gloomy. The other party had two Foundation Establishment Late Stage experts, while the rest were at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they fought, they truly weren’t a match for these hunters.

Cao Qi arrogantly said, "For your own safety and to prevent needless casualties, I suggest you refrain from acting."

After speaking, Cao Qi smiled slightly, his expression arrogant as he prepared to leave with his people.

However, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a beam of white light swept by, and the Phoenix Blood Flower in Cao Qi’s hand disappeared.

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked around.

Although the Phoenix Blood Flower was missing its stem and its red glow had dimmed, it was still glaring in the night.

Thus, the crowd quickly spotted the Phoenix Blood Flower.

On a large rock several tens of meters away, three figures stood.

One man, two women!

The man had a tall stature, an attractive appearance, especially with those long, narrow eyes like a fox, carrying a hint of eeriness.

The two women were very beautiful, both dressed in white.

One had a red flame mark on her forehead, but her face was icy with no hint of a smile, giving the impression of a red snow lotus blooming on an iceberg.

The other woman was filled with seductive power, her eyes captivating, stirring one’s blood and heart.

Cao Qi’s face was solemn, able to easily snatch the Phoenix Blood Flower from his hand, showing that the opponent’s cultivation was definitely above his.

"Qin Yi, another group arrived and took the Phoenix Blood Flower. If you don’t act now, this trip will be in vain."

Qin Yi frowned, "Who are they?"

"I can’t tell, but daring to snatch things from these people, they’re either crazy or have full confidence in their cultivation."

Qin Yi’s mouth curved, "No rush, let them bite each other. But the Phoenix Blood Flower is mine! Tonight’s going to be quite lively, it seems."

On the other side, Cao Qi gazed coldly at the three figures on the large rock and said harshly, "Who are you?"

"Hee hee..." The charming woman first let out a string of bell-like laughter, making everyone sway and their faces involuntarily change. Even her laughter was filled with a seductive intent.

"All of you go home, this Phoenix Blood Flower is ours."

Cao Qi sneered, "Foxy lady, spare me your petty tricks. Nobody has ever dared to snatch things from me."

"Heartless men, do you not think I’m beautiful?" the charming woman said coyly, her face turning into one of grievance and delicate charm, eliciting a sense of pity.

"Don’t look into her eyes," Cao Qi warned in a low voice.

This woman’s eyes had the power of enchantment and soul-stealing, making people lose themselves involuntarily.

The charming woman laughed, "Not looking at my eyes, does that make everything okay?"

"Hee hee..."

The woman laughed softly, her voice like silver bells, like a lover’s call, seemingly able to awaken the most primal desires in a man’s heart.

Standing, Meng Yiran, Ruan Zongying, and other Foundation Establishment Stage experts had eyes filled with confusion.

As for the Meng Family disciples, with lower cultivation, their eyes were dull, their faces carrying obscene smiles, nearly drooling.

"Hmm, that laugh is really unpleasant!" Liu Yiren expressed with disdain.

Hmm?

Qin Yi was slightly surprised; even he had felt swayed just now, demonstrating the woman’s high level of charming techniques. Yet Liu Yiren was unaffected.

It seems the Charming Technique only worked on men.

"Wake up!" Cao Qi suddenly shouted, his voice like a thunder shock, interrupting the woman’s laughter.

The crowd shivered, and clarity returned to their eyes. Subsequently, they all bore faces of shame, having been charmed.

The charming woman gazed at Cao Qi in surprise, giggling, "I didn’t see that coming. Your perseverance is truly rare."

Cao Qi’s eyes were dark; even he had been stirred just now, heart and blood turbulent. Luckily, he harbored an unforgettable romantic past, or else even he would have fallen for it.

"Give me back the Phoenix Blood Flower."

Cao Qi’s gaze was cold, his whip snapping, his aura climbing. He had the stance of attacking if the woman didn’t agree.
