The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Rumble---

The sky darkened, and thunder rumbled as small snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on the heads of the five people below who were riding their flying swords.

Elder Tianxing, dressed in a white robe, raised his hand and caught a snowflake. He took a closer look and frowned slightly. "Thunder and snow, a bad omen."

Beside him, Hu Tianyue leaned back on her gourd-shaped flying sword and took a sip of wine. "Senior Tianxing, why do you believe in such superstitions? Breaking the sect Patriarch's restriction like this will surely disrupt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Thunder and snow are normal, it would be strange if nothing happened. Isn't that right, Miss?"

"Um."

Yun Yiyi nodded awkwardly, but for some reason, her heart was pounding. She looked at Feng Yu Die flying next to Yun Jiujiu and thought that if Ye Anping were also with her, she would probably feel more at ease.

But she knew that this trip was likely to be full of risks. Ye Anping was only a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator, and bringing him along would only put him in unnecessary danger.

"We have no way of knowing the current situation inside the Sword Tomb. My life, my second sister's life, and Miss Feng's life are all in the hands of the two Elders."

Feng Yu Die hurriedly patted her chest and said, "It's okay! Even if the Elders can't do it, I can protect Jiujiu and you."

Hu Tianyue chuckled, floated to Feng Yu Die, and tickled her chin. "This girl is quite cute. I have suspected she was only disguised as a man before. Turns out she was indeed a girl. No wonder she has the spirit of spring."

"Damn it!" Yun Jiujiu pouted and cursed. "You deceived my feelings! After this is over, get the hell out of the Sword Sect!"

Hu Tianyue raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Heavenly spiritual root, Holy Emperor bloodline, spring spirit. Second Lady, what is it that you don't like? If you don't like it, give her to me. I like her."

... ...

The three kept bantering, instigated by Hu Tianyue, but Yun Yiyi, watching from the side, didn't feel like laughing, so she just kept silent, driving her sword seriously.

After a while, they arrived at a cave with a stone tablet with the word "Tomb" at the entrance.

Looking at the white bones and ancient swords scattered all over at the cave entrance, Yun Yiyi frowned, then took out a lighting magic tool and walked in, leading the other four cautiously.

Elder Tianxing seemed to have noticed something was wrong. His eyelids twitched, and he immediately became vigilant. "Something's not right. Elder Hu, you protect them. I'll take the lead."

Hu Tianyue's playful look vanished. She waved her hand and released a spirit shield to cover the three little ones, and protected them from behind as they continued to walk inside.

After walking through the long and narrow cave path, they came to the side of the cliff above the dense cemetery of swords and looked down to see what the situation in the forest below was.

According to Yun Yiyi's idea, after Elders Tianxing and Hu Tianyue accompanied her and Yun Jiujiu here, she and Yun Jiujiu would use their blood to summon Yun Kunwu out of his "Split Demon Spirit Sword", and then the Elders would use the method of destroying the gods to forcefully break down Yun Kunwu's soul.

However, when they saw the blond boy sitting cross-legged within the spiritual swords circle in the center of the forest, both Elders were stunned. They understood that Zhuang Yan had already released him and reshaped his body.

But the problem was that after Yun Kunwu regained his body, instead of choosing to escape, he sat there and waited for them to come as if provoking them.

Did he know he couldn't escape or was he waiting for them to fall into his trap?

Elder Tianxing frowned slightly as he summoned his magic tools and spiritual sword from his storage bag.

The next moment, Yun Kunwu, who was meditating in the center of the forest, suddenly opened his eyes and soared like an eagle into the sky, with ancient swords floating up from below and circling him.

With a sneer, he looked at the five people standing on the edge of the cliff. "Tianxing, we haven't seen each other in hundreds of years and you're pulling out your weapons as soon as we meet? This is so unkind. And who are these people next to you? I haven't seen them before... Are they qualified to meet me, a Senior? Then, why don't they salute?"

"I'll give you a salute... Woo-woo--"

Yun Jiujiu had a bad temper and couldn't help it when she saw his mocking look. She pointed at him and scolded, but Feng Yu Die quickly covered her mouth.

As soon as Feng Yu Die saw Yun Kunwu, she felt his chilling evil aura.

This was not a difference in cultivation, but more like a creature's instinctive fear of its natural enemy.

In comparison, Li Feng and those demonic cultivators couldn't hold a candle to Yun Kunwu.

"Jiujiu... don't talk... shh--"

"Wuuuu -- you damn -- wuuu --"

Feng Yu Die swallowed her saliva and tightly covered Yun Jiujiu's mouth. She stole a glance at Yun Kunwu again and found that he was staring at her dead on, with a playful expression that gave her the creeps.

Young Master Ye didn't tell her that this person was so terrifying!!!

"Yu Die? What happened? What's this sensation?"

Xiao Tian seemed to have sensed something as she got out of Feng Yu Die's head, holding her small hammer and looking around in horror.

After staring at Yun Kunwu for a while, her small golden eyes widened. "Yu Die... if a fight breaks out later, you flee for your life immediately! How did you run into this kind of person?!"

"This kind...?"

But before she finished speaking, Yun Kunwu, who was staring at Feng Yu Die, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What the hell is this little thing?"

?!!!

This sentence fell like thunder in Feng Yu Die and Xiao Tian's hearts, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

---He can see Xiao Tian?!

---This man can see me?!

Xiao Tian shook her head and immediately flew away from Feng Yu Die to confirm whether Yun Kunwu could really see her. Seeing that his eyes followed her flight path, her heart thumped wildly.

She was the hidden spirit of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, incorporeal and invisible.

Only those who carried the Heaven's Mandate could glimpse her figure.

But now, aside from Feng Yu Die and Ye Anping, there was a third person who could see her.

In these tens of millions of years, only one Immortal had been destined by the Heavens at a time, but now three people appeared in the same era?!

Had the Heavenly Dao been ruined?

"How..."

Xiao Tian suddenly stopped in mid-air as her outlook on life seemed to have been shaken.

Her natural duty was to assist the people with the Mandate of Heaven to achieve their heavenly destiny. Whether it was Feng Yu Die or Ye Anping, they were both outstanding people in her eyes.

Although they could be quite devious at times, there was no doubt that they were true 'Immortals'.

But this man's aura was like a demon's. Even the innate sword bones and the unique sword heart body could not cover up his demonic aura.

Then, if she's going to fulfill her duty, would she have to help such people?

Elder Tianxing didn't understand what Yun Kunwu was talking about and thought he was trying to create a diversion, so he looked around and asked, "What thing?"

"Hmm?" Yun Kunwu slightly tilted his head and raised his hand to point at Xiao Tian. "That thing."

"..."

Elder Tianxing didn't dare to take his eyes off him, so he only released his spiritual sense to explore the place pointed out by Yun Kunwu, but he felt no sign of life.

Hu Tianyue felt that something was wrong at this moment. Seeing how Elder Tianxing remained indifferent despite being provoked like that, she roughly understood his concerns regarding Yun Kunwu and began to feel troubled.

If the fight broke out all at once, how could she protect those three little ones and also assist Tianxing in combat?

Not to mention that Zhuang Yan was probably hiding somewhere around, and Yun Xi was nowhere to be seen...

"Tsk..."

Swish---

Hu Tianyue took out her magical weapons first, then raised her hand to stop Yun Jiujiu and the others and used her Nascent Soul voice transmission to relay a message to the three of them: "You three little ones, please stand within five feet of me and don't panic. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

At this time, Yun Kunwu was saying, "Oh? Even you, Tianxing, can't see it. This is quite interesting..."

"..."

Tianxing ignored him, thinking that he was trying to divert his attention.

Seeing that Elder Tianxing had not taken action yet and was still enduring Yun Kunwu's provocation, Yun Yiyi also understood that the situation was not good for them. After thinking for a while, she mustered up the courage, cupped her hands, and shouted, "Elder brother!"

"Oh? Really, another sister? What is it?"

"Previously, Elder Zhuang killed dozens of internal disciples in order to release you, making a huge mistake. I want to make a deal with you."

"Let's hear it."

Yun Yiyi took a deep breath. "I heard that your soul was imprisoned here by our father because you once made a big mistake. Therefore, I am willing to make a blood oath. Return inside your spirit sword, and after our father comes out of seclusion and hands over the position of the sect leader to me, I will release you from this place in a rightful manner."

"But I've already come out. Isn't this superfluous?"

"..."

"Also, sister, do you know why I was imprisoned here by my father in the first place?"

"Who the hell cares about what you... wuwuwu---"

Yun Jiujiu's mouth was covered by Feng Yu Die again.

Yun Kunwu looked scornfully at the five people. "I just killed an incompetent loser. That Young Master from the Bright Star Sect dared to look down on me because his father was a cultivator in the Void Returning stage. I humiliated him in front of his father at the Sword Trial, but I was doing him a favor. The way he was, he was bound to die somewhere in the future anyway; why not die with a bang for all the famous cultivators in the four regions to see? Just for this, my father destroyed my body and imprisoned me here for hundreds of years. Didn't he go too far?"

Elder Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his left hand, behind his back, formed a sword-finger as he said, "If you had only humiliated him back then, the Bright Star Sect Patriarch naturally wouldn't have taken it seriously, but you even flayed Young Master Yue and threw his skin and hair in front of his father. You also harassed Matriarch Si of the Black Star Sect in public. If it wasn't for the Patriarch rushing to stop you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to live until now."

Yun Kunwu waved, and his jet-black spiritual sword flew into his hand, then he smiled.  "The law of the jungle is the law of heaven and earth. Am I wrong? Or, Senior Tianxing, do you think you have the ability to teach me what is wrong? You know, it was not easy even for my father to restrain me back then."

"Back then, you were in the right time and place, but today is a different story!!"

Elder Tianxing glared, and his left hand hidden behind his back slightly flicked.

Swish---

Dozens of golden sword lights instantly appeared around Yun Kunwu, stabbing toward his chest.

Yun Kunwu merely swept a glance, then, still smiling, he raised his hand and dragged Yun Xi, who was trussed up in the forest below, in front of him with his spiritual power, making her his shield in front of Elder Tianxing's spirit swords.

"Elder Tianxing, be careful, don't stab crookedly. I can withstand your sword, but my sister cannot."

Elder Tianxing was startled, and he hastily raised his hand, stopping the golden sword lights in front of Yun Xi.

When she saw the sword lights that could cut her throat open stopping so close, Yun Xi, who had a rag stuffed in her mouth, suddenly widened her eyes like two poached eggs and shouted for help. "Woo-woo--"

"Yun Kunwu!!"

"You're so noisy, Tianxing. Don't you know the principle of making the best use of things?"

"That's a person, not a thing."

"A useless person."

Rumble---

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and countless debris from the surrounding rocks fell from above.

Then, streams of lava broke through the mountain rocks and gushed out. Dazzling flames instantly filled the eyes of everyone present. Even Zhuang Yan, who was hiding in the darkness, was shocked by the sudden event.

"The earth's veins are stirring... this is not good?!"

Yun Kunwu also realized that the earth's veins were surging, and he had a bad feeling. He knew that Elder Tianxing's Nascent Soul technique made use of the heavenly and earthly spiritual energies.

In other words, if he could normally use 70% to 80% of his strength, when he encountered a surge in the earth's veins, he could completely surpass himself and defeat him.

However, earth vein surges occurred only once in hundreds of years. How did it happen right at this time?

"... It seems that today, I am at the right time and place."

Tianxing looked at the lava pouring out all around, and bursts of fire gradually appeared in his sideburns, as if he had become a hundred years younger in an instant.

The Yin Yang Spirit Sword in his right hand pointed forward.

Boom---

Countless fire snakes suddenly emerged from the lava that poured out of the mountain and rushed toward Yun Kunwu.

At the same time, Hu Tianyue lifted Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu with one hand and kicked Feng Yu Die up onto her shoulder. With one last look, she turned and flew away with her sword.

"Wooooooo--!"

Yun Xi looked at the countless fire snakes coming toward her, and her tearful eyes suddenly widened, as if to say: And me?! What about me?! You don't care about me?!

The next moment---

Boom---

In the forbidden area on the mountain behind the ​​Moon Shadow Sword Sect, a ray of fire shot straight into the sky, swirling black clouds, wind, and snow, and the night suddenly turned into day.
