"Wu Hui, although this Yan Que is an external incarnation of the Vermillion Bird, her consciousness of the Spiritual Sense was sealed by the Yan Clan Supreme Elder. Even she doesn't know her own identity, and she only views herself as an ordinary disciple of the Yan Clan." Yan Xiangtian continued to speak. These things were originally the secrets of the Yan Clan, but Yan Xiangtian had wanted to befriend Wu Hui, so he did not hide anything.

Wu Hui's face returned to normal, but his heart was in turmoil. He was originally on good terms with the Yan Clan, but the Vermillion Bird Blood Essence was related to his mother, so Wu Hui would definitely not miss this opportunity. Furthermore, this blood essence was an external embodiment of the Vermillion Bird, so it did not have any effect on the Yan Clan's Strength of bloodline.

"Senior Yan, can I enter?" Wu Hui asked, he did not know how much Yan Clan valued the Vermilion Bird Avatar, if he did not allow outsiders to meet with it, Wu Hui would think of another way.

"The temperature inside this cave is extremely high, it's hard for ordinary Expert of Martial Emperor to endure it. Furthermore, that Yan Que will not come out, with your strength …" Yan Xiangtian's face showed some hesitation.

"Don't worry Senior Yan, I have the Grade Seven Heaven Fire protecting me, this temperature can't hurt me, I'm really curious about what the Vermillion Bird Avatar looks like." Wu Hui said, his face revealing a look of enthusiasm.

Although Yan Que has blocked his consciousness, his strength is not any weaker than a normal peak Martial Emperor. You should be careful. Yan Xiangtian nodded his head and gave way, obviously not planning to follow Wu Hui in.

After thanking Yan Xiangtian, a faint blue colored heavenly fire rose from the surface of his body. Without hesitation, he stepped into the hole.

Looking at Wu Hui who had disappeared from the cave, Yan Xiangtian's eyes flashed with a strange color. He let out a small sigh, and his body became light, and slowly disappeared.

The moment he entered the cave, Wu Hui could feel the scorching energy suddenly increase by more than ten times. The temperature of this lava was extremely high, and the temperature was just as Yan Xiangtian had said.

However, Wu Hui had a physique that was void of everything, and with the protection of the heavenly fire, the scorching energy did not harm Wu Hui at all. Instead, the gigantic Fire Martial Qi was constantly being absorbed by Wu Hui, increasing his own cultivation.

The fire attribute here was extremely huge, and it even contained a dense amount of Sacred Fire Martial Qi s. In that short period of time, Wu Hui could feel his cultivation increasing once again.

"Since this place is so dense with fire attribute Martial qi, it is simply an excellent cultivation holy land. However, I did not see anyone else appearing here, so I believe it should be a forbidden ground of the Yan Clan. For Yan Xiangtian to bring me here, it should be because he has a huge responsibility."

Wu Hui thought in his heart, in the end, he simply dispersed the protective heavenly fire and allowed the scorching Qi to roast his body.

A layer of red light emerged on Wu Hui's body, followed by a five colored flash, and finally returned to normal.

"This void physique is indeed strong, I'm afraid that even a peak Martial Emperor would have to be on guard here." Wu Hui thought in his heart as he walked deeper into the cave.

Previously, Wu Hui had already explored the Spiritual Sense, so he was now familiar with it. The cave entrance was not deep, and the deeper they went, the higher the temperature was. Wu Hui had already turned into a fire attribute physique, and the burning Qi did not affect Wu Hui anymore.

The room was still as before, and even the red-clothed woman who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform was smiling at him. Wu Hui knew that this woman was the number one person among the young generation of Yan Clan, a Vermillion Bird that had turned into Yan Que.

Wu Hui took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said politely: "This humble one is Wu Hui, and due to admiring the genius disciple of Yan Clan, I have come here to exchange some pointers."

"Disciple of the Yan Clan? Hehe, I am not some disciple of the Yan Clan. " Yan Que smiled and stood up. He looked at Wu Hui with a strange gaze.

"Huh?" Wu Hui's face revealed a trace of doubt. Didn't Yan Xiangtian say that he had erased his consciousness and considered himself to be a disciple of the Yan Clan? Why did he say that he was not a disciple of the Yan Clan now?

"Like, like." Yan Que stepped down from the stage and walked in front of Wu Hui, sizing him up, his face had an indescribably complex expression.

"Like what?" Wu Hui subconsciously asked, but at this moment, all of the hairs on his body stood up. At this moment, Wu Hui, who was originally at the peak of Martial Emperor, could no longer feel the aura of Yan Que, but a trembling feeling rose in his heart.

"Like nothing."

Rumble, Wu Hui felt his mind shaking, his face pale white, he said with difficulty: "You are the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird, you have recovered your consciousness!"

Divine Beast Vermillion Bird, one of the four ancient Divine Beast.

Back then, when the world was in turmoil, the Homo sapiens was weak. The Four Ancient Divine Beast, the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise carried billions of seventh level or higher dire beasts and wreaked havoc in the Martial Qi Continent, wanting to completely exterminate the human race.

Wu Hui's ancestor, 'nil', appeared out of nowhere and used his own strength to annihilate an endless amount of dire beasts. He sealed the Four Great s in the four provinces, and even created a new continent along with the essence underground of the Central Prefecture.

Although Wu Hui knew that the woman in front of him was the Vermillion Bird's incarnation, didn't that mean that her consciousness had been erased by the Yan Clan Supreme Elder? If the true Vermillion Bird revived, the Martial Qi Continent would probably be annihilated once again. The Divine Beast Vermillion Bird would be an existence comparable to the peak of the Martial Saint.

"That's right, I am the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird, you are the descendant of that 'nil', I have been sealed by your ancestors for tens of thousands of years, I provided the Strength of bloodline for the Yan Clan to live in darkness, I never thought that I would have the chance to take revenge today. Wu Hui, go and die! " Yan Que's face revealed a trace of resentment, he opened his hand, and scorching flames spread out, immediately filling the entire room and pouncing towards Wu Hui.

When Yan Que attacked, Wu Hui's expression actually relaxed. Although the power of the attack was immense, it was only equivalent to the peak of Martial Emperor. It seemed that his original body had not truly released the seal, and only his bloodline clone had regained consciousness.

When Wu Hui was at One-star Martial King, he was already able to fight against the middle stage of Martial Emperor. Right now, he was already at the late stage of three stars.

Wu Hui similarly struck out with his palm, a simple, and completely unadorned, palm strike.

Boom! *

Rumble rumble rumble!

The two palms collided, and the entire stone room let out a loud rumbling sound. The earth shook and the mountains shook, as if there was an earthquake.

Wu Hui and Yan Que both retreated three steps, equally matched.

"Hmm? How is this possible? You are clearly a Three-star Martial King, how can you defend against my attacks? " Yan Que's face changed, his eyes filled with surprise.

"No, your palm strike actually has a External Strength, Primordius, Qiankun, Yin-Yang, you actually have a Strength of Void, you … Who the hell are you? Could it be a clone of 'nil'? " A hint of fear emerged on Yan Que's face, and even his body was trembling.

"I am Wu Hui, and 'Wu' is my ancestor. Yan Que, you know about External Strength too?" Looking at Yan Que's fearful expression, Wu Hui felt a sense of pride in his heart.

The Vermillion Bird was a Divine Beast at the peak of the Level Nine and could be said to be the source of the Martial Qi Continent's Fire Martial Qi. Even after several tens of thousands of years had passed, it was still so afraid of its ancestor.

"Back then, this Martial Qi Continent also frequently had extrasolar power coming here, I naturally knew about it. Furthermore, your ancestor came from a foreign land as well." Yan Que slowly said as he calmed the shock in his heart.

"What?" that our ancestors came from other realms as well? " Wu Hui's expression changed. He had come into contact with the ancestor twice before, but had never heard him mention it.

"Originally, this place was not called Martial Qi Continent, it was only a wasteland, and could also be said to be the land of desolate beasts. Humans occupy a small part of this land, but this extremely small number of people has great ambitions, and they want to occupy the entire Wilderness. We, the four Divine Beast, naturally will not just stand by and watch. Who knew that at this time, we would get a supreme power from the other realms, your ancestors, to help those people fight against us. Your ancestors had great abilities, each of them split into four halves, and each of their clones were stronger than our four Divine Beast s. In less than half a year, a trillion beasts had lost ninety-nine percent of their original strength, and the four great Divine Beast were also sealed by your ancestors. So far, tens of thousands of years have passed. " Yan Que explained slowly, his expression was occasionally angry and occasionally afraid, finally revealing a trace of dejection.

Wu Hui stood at the side, speechless. Standing in the human position was vastly different from standing in the Huang Beast's position. However, the principle of strength being respected was applicable no matter where it was. If his ancestors were no match, then the entire Martial Qi Continent would have been transformed.

"What are your plans now? After you remove the seal, will you become enemies with the human race again?" After being sealed for tens of thousands of years, no matter who it was, they would still think of freedom. Wu Hui could already feel her thirst for freedom from Yan Que's words.

"Plans? In the past, I wanted to destroy mankind after the seal was lifted. Now, I only want to obtain freedom, but now, freedom is a dream that is too far away for me to reach. " Yan Que said with a sorrowful expression, "Right now, my main body is sealed deep underground and the clone that I created was deliberately left behind by the Yan Clan Supreme Elder, so as to find out my movements. The current me can't even exit this cave, as long as I leave this cave, I will be detected by the Yan Clan Supreme Elder and be killed.

Wu Hui was speechless once again. Yan Clan sealed the Vermillion Bird for the sake of the entire Martial Qi Continent, even if he knew that the Vermillion Bird no longer had any thoughts of becoming enemies with humans, it was still impossible for Yan Clan to take the risk and release the Vermillion Bird.

The Yan Clan's methods were also undeniable, but for the Vermillion Bird, it was too cruel. If it didn't have any consciousness, then it would be fine for it to only have a moment, but to have a sliver of consciousness to live in this endless darkness, no matter who it was, they would not be able to bear it.

"Right now, I only want to be free. Even if it's just for a day, I'm willing to pay any price." After she finished speaking, on Yan Que's beautiful face, a sparkling red tear streaked past, bright as blood.
