Chapter 2279 - 2279 You Want to Go to Phoenix Mountain



2279 You Want to Go to Phoenix Mountain

He walked forward and finally arrived at the door of a courtyard.

The courtyard was silent.

Looking inside from the outside, one could even see a thick pile of fallen leaves in the courtyard. It was as if no one had lived here for many years.

It was lonely and cold.

Jin Yunlai raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

“First Deity, Yunlai requests an audience.” He spoke loudly, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

Jin Yunlai frowned slightly and tightened his grip.

Knock, knock.

“First Deity, I have something to report to you.”

There was still silence.

Jin Yunlai waited for a while, a look of determination flashing across his eyes. Then, he took a step forward and planned to push the door open!

But at this moment, an incomparably domineering aura suddenly came from inside!

Jin Yunlai was shocked. Without thinking, he immediately retreated!

But even though he was fast, the other party’s attack was even faster!

Bam!

He couldn’t dodge in time and was hit in the chest by the force, falling heavily to the ground!

Shoo!

Jin Yunlai’s chest shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

He held his chest and looked at the door in shock. “First Deity—”

“Jin Yunlai, you’re presumptuous.” A cold and deep voice came from inside, as if wrapped in cold wind and frost, instantly freezing Jin Yunlai on the spot!

His heart almost stopped beating at this moment, and all the blood in his body instantly froze.

Needless to say, the First Deity’s status in Fantasy Divine Hall was extremely respected. Not to mention the others, even the remaining deities could only wait obediently here.

Now, it was a huge crime for him to barge in privately!

After a moment, the voice inside continued. “Do you know who you’re suspecting?”

Jin Yunlai was shocked and immediately kneeled on one knee. “It was my mistake!”

Bam!

His knees hit the ground hard, making one’s scalp tingle. This time, it almost made people suspect that his knees were about to shatter.

The courtyard fell silent again.

However, Jin Yunlai’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something, and he didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

An extreme sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

He rarely felt this way. But now, the person he was facing was the First Deity!

The reason why he did that just now was indeed because he had doubts about the First Deity. It had been so many years, but the First Deity had never stepped out of the courtyard.

Shu Jing and the others had asked to see him several times, but he had never agreed. Even now, the power of Phoenix Mountain had even been completely handed over to the Second Deity.

Jin Yunlai didn’t understand. Why did the First Deity delegate his authority completely, while he stays in this small courtyard and refuses to come out?

He had no choice but to doubt it. Therefore, he had taken the risk to go forward just now to test him!

What was certain was that the First Deity was indeed inside. Moreover, his strength seemed to have improved compared to before.

Just now, as long as he wanted to, Jin Yunlai’s life and death were all in his hands!

“Never again.” After a long time, the voice finally sounded again.

Jin Yunlai breathed a long sigh of relief. “Thank you, First Deity!”

He bowed respectfully and slowly stood up. “Yunlai will take his leave.”

There was no response.

Jin Yunlai turned around and left. However, he had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally turned around and looked at the tightly shut door of the courtyard. “First Deity, are you really at ease to entrust Phoenix Mountain to the Second Deity? He invited Shangguan Yue over today.”

After a pause, he said, “If everything goes well, the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s young mistress will stay on Phoenix Mountain from now on. You—”

“He has his reasons for doing this.” The voice came calmly, as if it didn’t care much. “Since he’s in charge of Phoenix Mountain now, he naturally has the right to decide these things. If you have any objections, just go to him and say it. There’s no need to come here.”

“But—” Jin Yunlai wanted to say something but hesitated. However, these should have been matters of the First Deity…

It’s impossible for him not to know what these things mean, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking. Could this have been his intention all along?

Jin Yunlai couldn’t figure it out.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to look for the Second Deity. After so long, he knew very well what kind of person Yu Qian was.

He looked gentle on usual days, but he was actually extremely domineering. If anyone dared to oppose his decision, they would definitely attract his dissatisfaction.

Only the First Deity could restrain him a little, but now, the First Deity seemed to have no intention of interfering.

All these years… What has the First Deity been busy with? In the past, he would definitely not have let Yu Qian do as he pleased. But from the looks of it, the First Deity won’t see me today either.

Jin Yunlai clenched his fists tightly and stood rooted to the ground for a long time before finally bowing slightly. “I understand.”

With that, he finally left.

After he left, the courtyard fell silent again.

A gust of wind swept up the leaves in the courtyard, exuding a murderous aura. Suddenly, something seemed to be surging under the pile of leaves.

That voice sounded again. “I know you want to go to Phoenix Mountain, but now isn’t the time.”

The commotion under the pile of leaves finally stopped.

Jin Yunlai raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips. His expression had already returned to normal.

Although what he had just done was dangerous, he didn’t regret it. At the very least, it dispelled his doubts.

Although he still didn’t know what the First Deity was planning, he could finally feel more at ease.

So be it.

At the thought of this, his worried heart finally settled down.

Suddenly, a figure hurried past him.

Jin Yunlai was suddenly stunned. Shu Jing? Shouldn’t she be at the medicinal mountain at this time? What is she doing in such a hurry?

Jin Yunlai looked in her direction and frowned slightly. “Sixth Deity?”

Shu Jing came to a courtyard and pushed the door open with familiarity. Then, she entered the room.

As soon as she entered, a faint smell of blood assaulted her nose.

She frowned slightly and immediately turned to close the door.

The doors and windows of the room were tightly shut, and it was very dark. Coupled with this smell, it was even more uncomfortable.

Even though she had been here several times, she was still not used to it.

After calming herself down, she bowed in the direction of the folding screen. “Sixth Deity, I’m here.”

A moment later, a hoarse voice sounded. “Put everything down.”

“OK,” Shu Jing responded. She then took out a jade box and placed it on the table beside her.
