Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Phoenix Nest

An Minxia was startled; that was a Fourth-stage Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King.

In Yunmeng Swamp, most are Third Rank Spiritual Beasts, with only an extremely small number of Fourth-stage Ghost Lady Swamp Spider Kings. On a normal day, An Minxia would have been thrilled to encounter one.

Because there’s a good chance of obtaining a Swamp Spider Core from the body of a Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King.

But right now, the fog was thick all around, and all her guards were nowhere to be found, leaving An Minxia momentarily at a loss.

The fog had also disoriented the foraging Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King.

Smelling the scent of its prey, the Ghost pattern on its belly emitted a bright light, and it spewed a glob of sticky, dense spider silk from its mouth.

An Minxia might be domineering but was no fool; she was a Postnatal Master after all, and as a legitimate daughter of Duke An, her family had a profound knowledge base.

Because she was startled, she momentarily lost her composure, but it didn’t take long for her to recover.

"White Tiger Furious Slash." In her urgency, An Minxia used a hereditary Ultimate Skill.

With a delicate shout, she unleashed two blade-like Primordial Power strikes from her palms, sweeping out furiously.

The Primordial Power transformed into a blade slashing, tearing the web of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King to shreds.

Seeing that the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King was temporarily beaten back, An Minxia took the chance to unleash two more furious slashes.

One of the blades cut off one of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King’s legs.

"Ga—" Injured, the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King became extremely furious.

The Ghost pattern on its belly emitted a red light, the Swamp Spider retreated several steps, then suddenly let out a piercing screech.

Numerous little swamp spiders emerged from the swampy ground.

"Relentless ghostly vermin." Seeing that the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King had actually summoned companions, An Minxia cursed bitterly.

It seems An Minxia is not without prowess.

Her Martial Arts should be of Seventh or Eighth Rank; it’s just that due to her lack of cultivation and proficiency, she couldn’t fully exploit the potential of this Cultivation Technique.

Deserving of being from the An Country Marquis Mansion, even an ordinary legitimate daughter is skilled in Seventh-Grade Martial Arts, but if it were Hong Mingyue from Hong Residence... perhaps...

Meanwhile, An Minxia was fighting a life-and-death battle with the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King, while Ye Lingyue was leisurely sitting in a tree, watching the commotion not very far away.

When An Minxia ambushed her just now, Ye Lingyue felt an animal’s Primordial Power fluctuation from a certain direction behind her, guessing that there must be a small group of Ghost Lady Swamp Spiders nearby, so she immediately ran towards that direction.

However, Ye Lingyue had not expected that the Primordial Power fluctuation would actually come from a Fourth-stage Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed, intently focusing on that Swamp Spider King. In the belly of the Swamp Spider King, there was a strong fluctuation of Water Element Primordial Power, which must undoubtedly be the Core.

Ye Lingyue silently calculated when would be the best time to make her move.

But An Minxia was already out of breath; after the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King was injured, it kept summoning small swamp spiders, and she was completely overwhelmed. If this went on, wouldn’t she be unable to kill this cursed beast even by daybreak tomorrow?

An Minxia had chopped off one of the Swamp Spider Queen’s legs, and the latter hated her with a vengeance, commanding the little swamp spiders to pounce towards An Minxia.

An Minxia had the thought to retreat, but at that moment, two silhouettes rushed over from behind her.

"Is that the county master ahead?" Hearing the voices of two guards from An Country Residence, An Minxia was overjoyed—salvation had arrived.

"Quick, there’s a Fourth stage Swamp Spider King here, I want its Core."

As long as she obtained the Swamp Spider King’s Core, she would win the competition.

An Minxia’s joy didn’t last long before she heard a sharp rush of Primordial Power. In front of her, someone leaped down from a large tree.

In the midst of the white fog, An Minxia couldn’t make out what was happening clearly before the figure had already reached the valiantly fighting lone Swamp Spider King.

Summoning a companion is when the Swamp Spider King is the most complacent and undguarded, and it was even less aware that someone was hiding in a tree nearby.

Having watched the battle for a long time, Ye Lingyue had already discerned the Swamp Spider Queen’s vital points, and three cold lights plunged into the heart of the Swamp Spider Queen.

The moment the Dragon Saliva Needle entered its body, the Swamp Spider Queen was immobilized.

Ye Lingyue swiftly drew her knife, and a Blood Pattern Dagger pierced into the Swamp Spider Queen’s body. With a twist of the dagger, a blue crystal was extracted.

"Thanks a lot to County Lord An. If it weren’t for your help in depleting the Swamp Spider Queen’s Primordial Power, I really couldn’t have gotten the Swamp Spider Core. We shall meet again."

As Ye Lingyue spoke, with a simple motion of her hands, she snatched the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider towards her, then flung it towards An Minxia and her companions.

Taking advantage of their confusion, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and slipped away.

An Minxia had realized that she had been tricked by that bumpkin Ye Lingyue again.

She had been deliberately lured to confront the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider, and purposefully let herself engage in a fierce battle with the Swamp Spider King, waiting for both sides to be exhausted before reaping the benefits.

"What are you dawdling for, don’t bother with those damned spiders. Go catch that bitch! Damn it, Ye Lingyue, if I catch you, I will tear you to pieces," An Minxia, who had never been so infuriated by someone before, led her guards without a clear direction and charged forward.

But at this moment, there was an unexpected turn of events.

Above Yunmeng Swamp, there came a long and melodious cry, ancient and ethereal, as if from beyond the heavens, as if it could pierce one’s soul in an instant.

After the cry resounded, Yunmeng Swamp underwent a strange change as numerous beasts frantically emerged as if fleeing for their lives.

Amidst the chaos, some beasts were trampled to death, or crashed headlong into trees, with horrifying death visages.

In just half an hour, Yunmeng Swamp fell eerily silent, as if it had become a land of death.

The originally dark night sky suddenly brightened.

That’s when... An Minxia and her two guards couldn’t help but look up at the heavens.

A burst of multicolored auspicious light emanated from the depths of Yunmeng Swamp.

"Phoenix Auspicious Light..." An Minxia, who had conducted extensive investigations before entering Yunmeng Swamp, naturally heard the legend of the Phoenix.

But she hadn’t expected to actually have the fortune to encounter a Phoenix.

"It must be the Phoenix laying eggs deep within Yunmeng Swamp. Quick, go find the Phoenix Egg. While the two Phoenixes have not returned to their nest, we must seize a Phoenix Egg," An Minxia’s anger turned to joy, greed glittering in her eyes.

A Divine Phoenix is a Divine Beast that one can hardly expect to encounter.

As long as she could obtain one Phoenix Egg and hatch it, she would essentially possess a Divine Beast Pet.

By then, she, An Minxia, would even surpass the Princesses of Daxia.

To get the Phoenix Egg, An Minxia didn’t bother pursuing Ye Lingyue any longer, ordering her two guards to run towards the direction of the auspicious light.

What An Minxia hadn’t anticipated was that the site of the Phoenix’s egg-laying was not a place just any person could approach easily.

Amidst the white fog, An Minxia wandered aimlessly, only to find that whichever direction she took, she would always end up back where she started, with the corpse of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King still lying there.

Naturally, Ye Lingyue was also aware of the abnormal changes taking place in Yunmeng Swamp.

"Zhiyo~"

After seizing the Core, Ye Lingyue was preparing to look for Lan Cai’er, but the abnormal changes in the sky also caught her attention.

She walked around in the white mist and realized it was impossible to find an exit.

At this time, Little Zhiyo on her shoulder became restless.
