After rebirth, he became the favorite of the Moon Goddess.

Entrance to the island in the middle of the lake.

A strong spiritual power rushed towards his face, making Jiu Ge suddenly shaken.

"It's so comfortable. The spiritual power on this island is indeed abundant." After Jiuge said that, he speeded up and ran forward.

"Ge'er, wait a minute!" Before she could take two steps, Nangong Yueze immediately reached out and grabbed her sleeve, "The more spiritual power you have, the more cautious you must be."

"Huh?" Jiuge paused, as if he didn't realize what the other person meant.

"In addition to the trial monks, monsters or monsters also like places with strong spiritual power."

Hearing this, Jiuge stopped suddenly in his steps and looked around subconsciously.

As expected, as Nangong Yueze expected, seeing the two of them appear, many monsters and monsters hidden in the dark sprang out and surrounded the two.

Seeing this, Jiuge subconsciously moved his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Ge'er, don't be nervous first." Nangong Yueze glanced around, "This world is my senior sister...oh no, it was transformed by God Yaoji using immortal magic. It can be as small as a plant or a tree, or as big as Mountains and rivers are all spiritual. I just saw it. The eyes of these monsters are clean and pure, and they have no killing intent. If we don't provoke them, they will not attack us."

"Really?" Jiuge raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Of course it's true." Nangong Yueze nodded, gently took Jiu Ge's hand, and continued walking towards the center of the island in the middle of the lake.

Seeing this, those monsters and monsters made way for the two of them. Seeing the scene in front of them, Jiuge felt a little relieved.

Soon, the two entered the center of the island in the middle of the lake, and the first thing they saw was

Behind the curtain is a huge garden. The garden is surrounded by all kinds of flowers, and there are also various fragrances wafting in it.

"Is this the island in the middle of the lake?" Jiuge asked, looking up at the flowers.

"Yes." Nangong Yueze responded, "What we are looking for should be here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew towards the two of them, and a bright flower fell to Jiu Ge's feet.

Jiuge bent down and picked up the flower. The smell of the flower was very strong, with a hint of refreshing fragrance.

"Ozawa, do you know what kind of flower this is?" She turned to look at Nangong Yueze and asked.

"This kind of flower is called the Blood Orchid. It is the favorite flower of God Yao Ji. This flower only blooms once every 3000 years. It is said that when the flower blooms, the surrounding plants will become as red as blood, so it is also called the Blood Orchid." Nangong Yueze explained with a smile.

"That's it." Jiuge nodded in realization.

"The blood orchid has a strong recovery ability and can help the injured heal their injuries quickly. It just so happens that the Lord Yao Ji practices healing skills. For her, these flowers are all excellent materials for refining elixirs." Nangong Yueze continued.

Jiuge said "Oh", then tilted his head and looked at Nangong Yueze, blinking and said, "It sounds like you know Yao Ji Shenjun quite well. You even know what flowers she likes."

When Nangong Yueze heard this, a flash of embarrassment quickly flashed across his face, "Uh... this..."

"You only stayed with her for two days in total. How do you know so much about her?" Jiuge continued to inquire, "Is it possible... that she took a fancy to your cultivation talent and wanted to

Want to accept you as a disciple? "

"Little girl, please stop thinking here." Nangong Yueze interrupted Jiuge, "I will talk to you in detail about my relationship with Lord Yaoji when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Okay." Jiuge shrugged helplessly and did not continue to ask any more questions.

Along the way, she suddenly realized that she still knew too little about Nangong Yueze. He was like an endless book, bringing her some accidents and surprises from time to time.

Not to mention that he had a large number of elixirs and elixirs in his hands that no mortal monk had ever seen before. Even the celestial god who was rarely seen by the world also appeared immediately after he was injured.

Nangong Yueze like this... made her feel as if she was meeting him for the first time.

Just as Jiuge was meditating, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of a towering ancient tree not far away.

It was a phoenix covered with black feathers all over its body. The phoenix was huge, more than ten meters long. Its eyes were blood red, and its pupils exuded a bloodthirsty and cold light. It looked particularly terrifying.

The appearance of the black phoenix caused the surrounding monsters and monsters to panic. Many monsters even lost the courage to escape, and just stood there in a daze, trembling.

"This... this is..." Jiuge's eyes widened and he looked at the behemoth in front of him in disbelief.

Nangong Yueze held her hand tightly and took two steps back, "This is a dark phoenix, the most ferocious of all monsters. Judging from the color of its eyes, it should have reached the level of a monster." The highest realm is on the verge of overcoming the disaster at any time."

Hearing this, Jiu Ge couldn't help but breathe

It got a little worse. Although she had been mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel agitated in her heart. "Isn't the highest level of monster beast cultivation equivalent to that of a mortal monk with a ninth-level spiritual master cultivation? ?”

"Well, you are right. The cultivation level of this dark phoenix is ​​indeed not low. In addition, it also has the ability to transform into human form." Nangong Yueze continued, "As for whether to become an immortal or a human after overcoming the tribulation, The devil depends on its nature."

"Overcoming... overcoming the tribulation..." Jiuge took a deep breath and suppressed his violently beating heart.

She never expected that she would encounter a monster in the tribulation stage here!

Just as he was about to speak, Nangong Yueze suddenly pointed at Dark Phoenix's neck and shouted, "Ge'er, look, there's something on that phoenix's neck!!"

Hearing this, Jiuge immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw a bright object hanging on the neck of the dark phoenix. After a closer look, it turned out to be a silver key, "Ozawa, I see It’s clear, it’s a key.”

"If my guess is correct, that key should be the key to open the door of the black city." Nangong Yueze said, "Only by getting it can we leave here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dark Phoenix suddenly raised his head and let out a roar. The roar was deafening and terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the entire island in the middle of the lake trembled a few times following the roar.

"Ozawa, could the vibration we just felt also be the roar of this dark phoenix?" Jiuge swallowed his throat and asked.

"It should have come from it." Nangong Yueze nodded.

Jiu Ge pursed her pink lips tightly and said no more

Word.

At this moment, the Dark Phoenix suddenly discovered the existence of the two of them.

It suddenly spread its wings, inciting a hurricane, overturning all the surrounding flowers and plants, and then rushed directly towards the two of them.

"Ge'er, be careful!!" Nangong Yueze reminded hurriedly.

Jiuge responded and moved quickly to avoid the phoenix's attack.

After the Dark Phoenix failed, it flapped its wings and flew again, continuing to fly in the direction where Nangong Yueze was standing.

This time, it did not attack him directly, but circled around him, and then spit out a fireball at him.

"Ozawa!!"

When Jiuge saw this, he was immediately startled and shouted to Nangong Yueze.

She wanted to rush over, but was forced to take a few steps back by the scorching temperature of the fireball.

Nangong Yueze seemed to have noticed all this a long time ago. When Jiuge called out his name, his body had already risen into the air.

The moment he left the ground, a huge boulder next to him was hit by a fireball. There was a loud "bang" sound, and the boulder exploded instantly, splashing rubble all over the sky.

Seeing that Nangong Yueze avoided his attack, Dark Phoenix sprayed a fireball at him again.

This time the fireball was bigger and more powerful than the previous one.

Seeing this scene, Jiu Ge's heart almost rose to his throat.

Normally, with Nangong Yueze's cultivation, he would have been able to easily dodge these attacks, but now, both of their spiritual powers were sealed, and they were unable to withstand Dark Phoenix's frontal attack.

Seeing that the fireball was about to hit Nangong Yueze, at this moment, the opponent's figure suddenly accelerated. Jiu Ge only felt a flash in front of his eyes, but Nangong Yueze

Already appeared on the other side of the flame.

"boom--"

There was another loud noise, and the fireball hit the mountain wall by the lake, and the mountain wall suddenly collapsed.

At the same time, the fireball was shattered by the rocks on the mountain wall and turned into sparks all over the sky.

Jiuge blinked his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. His cultivation was sealed, which did not seem to affect Nangong Yueze's strength at all.

This man is too outrageous!

On the other side, the dark phoenix seemed to be enraged. It circled in the air several times, then landed and transformed into a human figure.

The moment he saw the figure, Jiuge was suddenly shocked. That person was none other than the old woman they met at the door of the inn.

"Ozawa, then... that Dark Phoenix turned out to be the old woman!!" Jiuge's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

Nangong Yueze quickly flew down from mid-air to the ground. He squinted his eyes, quickly looked at the old woman in front of him, and then murmured to himself: "It's interesting, it turns out that this mother-in-law's true body is a dark phoenix."

"You two mortals! How dare you trespass on my island in the middle of the lake! You are simply seeking death!!" The old woman said coldly, and then she flashed and came directly to Jiuge.

When Jiuge saw this, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"boom--"

The next second, a powerful spiritual power attacked, knocking Jiu Ge flying out. Jiu Ge lost control of his body and fell directly into the lake.

"Ge'er!!" Nangong Yueze shouted.

Without thinking, he immediately jumped into the lake.

The water in the lake was very cold, and a thin layer of ice quickly formed on their clothes.

Nangong Yueze couldn't care so much and stretched out his hand to

Jiuge hugged him into his arms.

"Ge'er, are you okay?" Nangong Yueze asked with a worried look.

Jiuge raised his eyes, met the other party's concerned eyes, shook his head, and said: "I'm fine, but you, why did you jump down too?"

"I'm afraid you are in danger." Nangong Yueze held Jiuge's hand tightly, "This black phoenix is ​​really merciless!!"

After saying that, he raised his eyes and took a serious look at the old woman on the shore.

Seeing the two people falling into the water, the old woman transformed into a dark phoenix again and flew over their heads.

"Ozawa, does the old lady really want to kill us?" Jiuge said with a frown.
