The Transcendent Immortal Chapter 82 Liu Fenghuang

At this moment, it was as if the histories of thousands of years ago flashed through his mind again: the scene when Ling Yin gave him the f.u.xi Zither, and the scene when he first saw Evernight coming out of the zither and took shape...

　　Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down. No sound could be heard, and no sword radiance could be seen. The only thing existed among heaven and earth was only that jade zither. But with time being, Xiao Chen gradually noticed something wrong. The zither body and the six strings were vague. So, they were just virtual images, and only the C major string was the real one.

　　This was not the f.u.xi Zither but the C major string of the f.u.xi Zither!

　　"Do you think that with your ability, you can unleash the ancient power of this zither?!" The man shouted and then punched at the girl.

　　The young girl held the zither in her arms and heavily played the C major string. However, the string only quivered for a moment, making a sound that was almost inaudible. Even so, the man was bounced back for a few steps. The girl looked pale and was gasping for breath. Obviously, she did not have enough cultivation to play this zither. She just had consumed almost half of her True Qi by that stroke.

　　When a dozen people were about to attack them, the people beside the girl suddenly gathered into a single line, sending their True Energy to the girl in the front.

　　The girl's aura instantly surged times stronger than before. She played the string, and the string just made a slightly bigger sound than before. But a dozen people were sent flying backward.

　　Just as the second stroke was about to sound, the man gnashed his teeth and said with hatred, "Go!" A dozen people suddenly disappeared.

　　The truth was that the girl was not able to play that string again. She was just pretending to play in order to scare them. The people behind her all looked extremely pale. When they saw the enemies had gone, they sat down and started to run the cultivation method.

　　Xiao Chen slowly walked over and asked, "May I ask which sect you belong to, miss?" The girl said, "I'm from the Teal Jade Sect. You?" She then put the zither into her Divine Vessel.

　　Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Then that's a coincidence. I'm on my way to join the Teal Jade Sect. Would you help introduce me?" He had planned to leave in chaos, but it was now impossible to leave. He would have to get that string of the f.u.xi Zither, whatever it took!

　　He had carefully observed before. Although her zither only had one f.u.xi zither's string, it had incredible divine power. If he could have it, he would be more confident to defeat the Skygale Sect in the future. Moreover, the Soul power of Evernight was decreasing, so he had to find the f.u.xi Zither. After all, it belonged to him back then.

　　In order to show sincerity, he immediately took out the dragon pill from his chest and handed it over. The girl took over the pill and looked very happy, saying, "Of course! My father is the sect leader!"

　　"Oh?" Xiao Chen pretended to be surprised. "It's a pleasure to meet you today! I wonder how I should address you?"

　　The girl blushed and smiled. "I'm Liu Fenghuang. I am not as famous as Senior Sister Chu and Senior Brother Duan." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister Liu not only looks beautiful but also is surprisingly modest."

　　Hearing this, Liu Fenghuang's face became redder under the sunset glow. She was born beautiful, but all the male disciples in the sect were dull and had never praised her appearance. As an 18-year-old girl, a praise on her appearance was much better to hear than some bullsh*t about her progressing cultivation.

　　Moreover, Xiao Chen looked handsome and spoke in a good manner. He was so much better than those male disciples in her sect. Unconsciously, her heart had gradually come closer to this stranger she had known only for less than 30 minutes.

　　Not far away, an older-looking female disciple got up and walked beside her. She coughed softly, glanced at Xiao Chen and asked, "I don't know what to call you, young friend?"

　　This woman looked at most in her twenties. She seemed old by calling him a young friend. Xiao Chen smiled, clasped his hands and said, "I'm Han Chen."

　　The woman said, "Oh. You said that you want to join our sect. Where are you from?"

　　Xiao Chen was stunned by this question. He had just arrived here and did not know places. He made up a name and said with a smile, "I'm from White Water County. My father met an Immortal when he was young, so he knows a bit about cultivation method. He found out that I'm pretty talented, so he wanted me to join a Cultivators' sect."

　　The woman's eyes narrowed, and her cold, electric eyes swept over him. "Since you came from White Water County and wanted to join our Teal Jade Sect, why are you here in the Dragon Meridian Mountains?"

　　"Is there really a place called White Water County? Where is the Teal Jade Sect? Where is the Dragon Meridian Mountains? I should've asked more from that old man Zi Mo."

　　Liu Fenghuang said hurriedly, "All right, all right! Senior Sister Shen, don't ask anymore! Junior Brother Han just came here. Don't scare him away."

　　The woman glanced at Xiao Chen before she stepped aside. Liu Fenghuang giggled and said, "This is my senior sister, Shen Qian. She is just this kind of person, don't mind her."

　　Xiao Chen smiled gently and was finally relieved. He was about to ask something about that f.u.xi Zither string, but now that Shen Qian was suspecting him, he could not ask that.

　　"Sister Liu, where are we going next?"

　　"Wait for my Senior Sister Chu. She should be coming soon..."

　　Before her voice fell, a white figure suddenly appeared and thrust her sword at Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen had not vaguely sensed a murderous aura, he could never dodge this stroke. Upon seeing this, Liu Fenghuang opened her arms and stepped in front of him, saying, "Senior Sister Chu, what are you doing?"

　　Xiao Chen did not expect that the comer was the woman he met in the river before. This person had extraordinary cultivation which was about middle Foundation Building Realm. There was no forbiddance in here, so it was easy for her to kill him.

　　Chu Lingjiao looked at her and then glared at Xiao Chen, coldly saying, "This bold rascal peeped me before..."

　　Xiao Chen felt a strong murderous intent from her eyes which was not because he peeped her but a sheer murder. She might have misunderstood that he had heard something from her. But she already wanted to kill him, and this kind of issue could never be explained. He said hurriedly, "It's a misunderstanding! I was being hunted by someone and jumped into that river. I just floated by you, and I was definitely not intended to peep Senior Sister Chu..."

　　At present, he had only one protection, which was Liu Fenghuang. Once she left him, this woman surnamed Chu would definitely kill him because she was certain that he had heard something.

　　Liu Fenghuang finally met a person who praised her beauty and could wield the psychokinesis so adeptly. She said, "Yeah, Senior Sister Chu, this must be a misunderstanding. Don't be angry. Just now we were able to get the dragon pill thanks to Junior Brother Han. By the way, have you seen Brother Duan?"

　　"Senior Brother Duan..." Chu Lingjiao glanced at Xiao Chen while speaking this name. She shook her head and said, "I haven't met him since we parted."

　　Before long, three male disciples came running from the other side of the jungle. They looked in a rush, and one of them carried a cloth bag that wrapped something. That man said, "We've found Senior Brother Duan. He..." He then unwrapped the bag. It was a head.

　　Several female disciples were shocked. Liu Fenghuang also looked shocked. She murmured, "Brother Duan..."

　　Xiao Chen clearly saw the head, which was exactly the one he had touched while escaping. Now, he was quite certain that the death of Brother Duan had something to do with this Sister Chu.

　　Chu Lingjiao let out a long sigh. "Brother Duan must have been ambushed by them. Junior Sister, don't be sad. We will definitely revenge him!" Liu Fenghuang choked with sobs. She wiped off the tears on the corner of her eye and said, "Yes. We have to revenge Senior Brother Duan."

　　"By the way, I heard that you've brought the ancient divine zither with you?"

　　Liu Fenghuang sobbed and nodded. "Yes."

　　"Why are you so careless? What if the Skygale Sect takes it away? Give it to me now, and I will keep it safe."

　　Liu Fenghuang nodded and was about to take out the f.u.xi Zither string, when Shen Qian came up. She looked at Chu Lingjiao and said coldly, "Senior Sister Chu, have you forgotten the rules of our sect? n.o.body can touch the divine zither except for the sect leader."

　　Chu Lingjiao smiled gently. "I was in a hush and afraid of losing the divine zither, so I forgot this rule. Thanks for reminding me, Junior Sister Shen." She then looked at Liu Fenghuang and said, "Junior Sister, you can't lose the divine zither. Keep it safe."

　　Liu Fenghuang wiped her eyes and said softly, "It's okay. It's safer for you to keep it." She then was about to take it out again when Shen Qian quickly stopped her and said, "Junior Sister Liu! Do you want to make Senior Sister Chu be blamed by our master when we go back?"

　　Standing aside, Xiao Chen did not know what to say. Did Liu Fenghuang trust Sister Chu too much, or was she simply too innocent?

　　Shen Qian glanced at Chu Lingjiao again and asked, "There's still something that I don't understand. How did you and Senior Brother Duan get seperated?"

　　After her voice fell, everyone looked at Chu Lingjiao at the same time. Chu Lingjiao said calmly, "What, are you suspecting me?" As her voice fell, a dozen figures flashed over. They were the female disciples with her before.

　　Liu Fenghuang stepped forth and said, "All right, all right. Senior Sisters, stop arguing." She looked at Shen Qian and said, "We can't blame Senior Sister Chu on this matter. We will seek our vengeance on the Skygale Sect."

　　Shen Qian gave her a look. "Junior Sister, we can't conclude like this."

　　Chu Lingjiao said, "Who else would it be if it were not Skygale Sect members that did this?"

　　Shen Qian's eyes narrowed. "Senior Sister Chu was sure that the Skygale Sect did this. Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

　　"Then do you mean that I'm lying?"

　　For a moment, the people on both sides were at daggers' points. Xiao Chen gently coughed and said, "Sisters, please listen to me. Now..."

　　Before he could finish his speech, the two women shot cold glances at him in the meantime and said, "What are you? Shut up!"
