Chapter 707 A Lively Start

"The gods of heaven and the Demon Monarchs of earth, no matter how famous they are, are all living beings."

"As long as it's a living creature, it's hard to escape the two words'requested '."

"That's why you shouldn't take them too seriously. Just be calm."

As she walked towards the Great Abyss Mountain, Ye Hongjian spoke seriously to Su Mu'an beside her.

For most people, things like the Demon Monarch only existed in legends. This was the same for Su Mu'an. Therefore, the little fellow was filled with anticipation and inexplicable anxiety towards the Demon Monarch that he was about to see in a few days' time.

"How about this?" Su Mu'an listened to Ye Hongjian's words seriously. He nodded his head with a clear expression, but in the blink of an eye, he asked, "Does that Demon Monarch look like a human?" Do they have a few noses, a lot of eyes, and, do they have mouths? What do they like to eat? "Isn't it good for us to go empty-handed? Do you want to buy something? I think the sugar gourd in front of us is not bad."

Ye Hongjian was stunned for a moment before she caught a glimpse of a peddler peddling candied gourds at the corner of the street. She looked at Su Mu'an .

However, Su Mu'an innocently winked at Ye Hongjian. Ye Hongjian was immediately helpless. She pointed at Su Mu'an and said, "You, staying with Nineteen for too long, your entire body has been taught badly."

But having said that, At that time, Ye Hongjian walked to the vendor and bought a bunch of sugar gourds and handed them to Su Mu'an. However, although this method satisfied Su Mu'an's little thoughts, it made Ah Huang, who had been standing on Su Mu'an's shoulder, feel dissatisfied. Ye Hongjian helplessly took out her pocket and bought a bunch for Ah Huang.

Su Mu'an took a bite and immediately smiled. However, she said seriously, "Sister Hongjian, nineteen is just a bit naughty. It can't be considered bad."

Ye Hongjian burst into laughter. She shook her head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, your family's Little Nineteen is the best. Once you have a daughter-in-law, you will forget about your elder sister. Your virtue will grow up again, and you will probably be the master of a troubled family."

Su Mu'an did not understand Ye Hongjian's words, but she could sense that she was making fun of him again. He didn't know if he was guilty or if his skin was too thin, but Su Mu'an 's cheeks immediately turned red. He hurriedly explained, "Nineteen and I are really not what Sister Hongjian thought. I'm just teaching her martial arts. Besides, she's still so young, how would she know?"

"Alright, alright, how old are you?" As Ye Hongjian said this, a teasing expression appeared on her face. "It's just teaching kung fu. When you left, did you forget how sad Little Nineteen was crying?"

Hearing this, Su Mu'an was speechless for a moment. This morning, they left Jinling City according to the plan and set foot on the road to Great Abyss Mountain. Nineteen, who had come to see them off, cried like a pear blossom with rain. Everyone's comfort was useless for a long time. Only after Nineteen was tired from crying and was taken away by Zhou Yuan could Su Mu'an and Ye Hongjian go on their way.

After saying that, the two of them had already walked out of Jinling City. Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Hongjian smiled slightly and said, "Alright, stop joking. It's time for us to go on our way."

Su Mu'an stared at Ye Hongjian in confusion. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Aren't we already on our way?"

Ye Hongjian smiled, However, it was not interesting to correct Su Mu'an 's statement. It was at that time that his hands were clasped together, The aura around him surged, and then a huge Divine Phoenix Bird rose from behind her. Su Mu'an had never seen such a situation before. He immediately widened his eyes and stared blankly at the giant Phoenix summoned by Ye Hongjian. His mouth was wide open as if it could stuff an egg. He muttered, "Sister Hongjian, where did you get such a thing?"

Ye Hongjian jumped onto the back of the phoenix. Then, she stretched out her hand and an invisible force wrapped around Su Mu'an , slowly and steadily placing his body on the phoenix.

"Beyond the Heavens." As she spoke, the phoenix beneath her let out a long cry and suddenly flew out.

…

The Phoenix's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Jinling City. However, the heat wave that overflowed from the Phoenix's body still lingered here. It did not dissipate for a long time. Even the thick snow on the city wall melted under this heat wave.

At that time, the two figures stepped on the ground that had finally been revealed and appeared where Ye Hongjian and Su Mu'an were standing.

One of the young girls looked in the direction where the phoenix had left. She seemed to be very angry. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "Hmph! Can you leave me like this? Good idea!"

Although the girl's words were very bulging, the old man standing beside her did not seem to be optimistic. He looked at the girl and said, "Nineteen… This is only half a month away from the great battle. We don't have a phoenix, and even if we break our legs, we won't be able to catch up! Why don't we…"

"Humph!" Hearing this, Nineteen glared at Zhou Yuan in dissatisfaction, "Master promised to take me there yesterday. Why did he change his mind today?"

Zhou Yuan's heart was filled with grievances. He had been hiding in his room these past few days to study the ancient book that the mysterious man had given him. He hadn't even seen nineteen, so how could he have the chance to promise her anything? But Nineteen had always liked such nonsense, Zhou Yuan wasn't surprised either. He didn't deny it and continued, "But you know what we're capable of. Let alone whether we're going to help or not, let's just walk over at our speed. I guess the battle on the Great Abyss Mountain has already ended. What do you think we can do if we go?"

Nineteen said, "I can't help you. Master is so powerful, why can't I help you?"

Although Zhou Yuan enjoyed the praise of his own disciple, how could he dare to take on this porcelain job without the diamond? He smiled bitterly at that time and said, "How can I have that ability!"

However, Nineteen was very dissatisfied. She said angrily, "Master is capable. I know that you are just afraid of death. Look at how old Su Mu'an is. No matter how old he is, he dares to do it. What are you afraid of?"

After saying that, Nineteen still felt that he was not relieved. He stomped his foot again and said angrily, "If you don't go, I'll go myself!" After saying that, Nineteen simply turned around and walked towards the direction where the phoenix had escaped in the heavy snow.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed after hearing what Nineteen said. He was indeed afraid of death, but he felt that living was the most important thing in this world. If he died, then there would be nothing left. Could it be that this was also wrong? Moreover, if someone else said this, Zhou Yuan could laugh it off. However, he found it hard to accept that his disciple had said such a thing to him.

However, he didn't have much time to digest the depression in his heart. After all, Nineteen had already shaken off his pace. In the blink of an eye, he walked out more than ten zhang away. Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly. He had no way to deal with his own disciples, but he thought that since they didn't have the ability to reach the Great Abyss Mountain, he decided to follow Nineteen. It was better to follow Nineteen than to watch Nineteen go on the road and worry.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly chased after him. Nineteen thought that he had finally figured it out when his master arrived. The child's temper came quickly but also quickly. She looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise and said happily, "I knew Master wasn't that kind of person. Let's hurry up and don't miss it."

Zhou Yuan cursed in his heart that even if he didn't want to risk his life, it was impossible for them to catch up. However, Zhou Yuan, who had figured out nineteen's temper, echoed, "Good good good, let's hurry up and leave."

Just as Zhou Yuan thought that his plan was flawless, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"You won't be able to reach the Great Abyss Mountain with your feet like this."

The master and disciple were both shocked when they heard this. They turned their heads to look at each other at that time, only to see a woman appear behind them at some unknown time.

After the two of them saw the woman's appearance clearly, Nineteen took the lead to react and exclaimed, "Sister Keqing."

Yes, it was Qin Keqing.

But it doesn't seem to be.

Although she was standing in this icy world, she wore a thin green gown. Her aura was steady, but it carried a faint chill that was even colder than the wind and snow that filled the sky.

However, the two of them did not notice Qin Keqing's change. In fact, they did not have much contact with Qin Keqing. Moreover, after arriving in the Chen Kingdom, Qin Keqing kept herself at home most of the time, and the two of them did not have the chance to contact her.

However, Nineteen had a familiar temperament. She jumped up to Qin Keqing and asked, "Does Sister Keqing want to go as well? Is there any way to be faster?"

Qin Keqing smiled, and that smile had almost reached an undetectable level. It was even difficult to say whether it was a smile or not. Then she whispered, "Alright."

The voice was clean and crisp, just like the flying snow that covered the sky. It was not tainted with a trace of mortal dust, but it was also ice-cold to the bone.

As these words fell, a black formation suddenly lit up beneath the woman's body. At that time, a pair of black wings spread out from behind Qin Keqing. At the same time, a gloomy and cold aura spread out and swept through the entire arena.

Zhou Yuan frowned. He felt that this aura seemed to be somewhat familiar. It was extremely similar to what only half of the demons possessed. However, before he could think about it carefully, two streams of black gas flew out of Qin Keqing's body and lifted their bodies high up.

A black light flashed in her eyes and she said, "Sit still."

Then, with a flap of her wings, she dragged her master and apprentice into the distance amidst nineteen loud cries of terror and excitement.

Just like Ye Hongjian and Su Mu'an did not expect Qin Keqing and the others to follow behind them, the three of them also did not expect that not long after they left, another figure landed in their previous location.

It was a white-robed, white-haired man with a long sword on his back. At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where everyone had left.

As a result, the corners of his mouth rose as he muttered.

"Looks like this Great Abyss Mountain will be very lively."

"It's been a long time since I've tried this kind of liveliness."
