Si Jianye's gaze, filled with fierce intensity, was fixed on Feng Ninghe. His voice was a low rumble, "Someone once survived this poison by using their own body to neutralize it. Let's wait a little longer. Her condition isn't too bad right now. If all else fails, I will personally ensure she lives."
The burly man's eyes lit up as if he had discovered something novel. He quickly shifted his gaze to Si Jianye, "So, you have a way to keep her alive?"
Si Jianye glanced at the burly man and replied unhurriedly, "If it comes to that, I will step in and absorb the poison myself."
"You intend to draw the poison into your own body?"
The burly man raised his eyebrows, unable to conceal his astonishment.
Not everyone possessed the ability to transfer poison.
Absorbing poison into one's body was akin to trading one life for another.
Si Jianye's cultivation was profound. His dominance over the Western You Continent was not without reason. Even if poisoned, he would likely outlive Feng Ninghe, and even if he survived, he would be left with half his life.
What shocked the burly man the most was that the dignified King of the Underworld from the Western You Continent was willing to go to such lengths for a woman!
Si Jianye did not respond to the burly man. He leaned casually against a nearby object, his arms crossed over his chest.
Feng Ninghe wore a spatial jade bracelet on her wrist, which concealed a wisp of his divine sense.
He could sense Feng Ninghe's condition.
The woman was weak, but there were no signs of her death.
Feng Ninghe, wrapped in a ball of snow, was further entwined with vines and leaves.
The ginseng seedling, which had been in seclusion, sensed Feng Ninghe's abnormal spiritual state and quickly emerged.
The icy snow made the ginseng seedling want to escape, but it steeled itself and began to wrap itself around Feng Ninghe, coil by coil.
In a short while, Feng Ninghe was not only covered in snow but also entwined with vines.
"This is... the legendary ginseng seedling!"
The burly man gasped in shock, his eyes wide as he stared intently at the figure shrouded in snow, her features obscured.
This young girl not only possessed an ancient Qilin as a spirit beast but also a ginseng seedling.
Ginseng seedlings were healing plants. As long as one was present, even a life hanging by a thread could be saved.
The burly man's heart filled with excitement, "With a ginseng seedling here... if this girl can save herself, she might truly survive..."
Feng Ninghe felt a slight relief from the burning heat within her, yet the pain was still excruciating.
Her attempts to expel the poisonous gas from her body were like trying to scoop water with a sieve. Her rationality was rapidly fading, and her mind was terribly clouded.
"Little girl, close your eyes."
"Your life has been too hard. You should rest well. Let it end here..."
It was as if voices were whispering in her ears, coming from all directions, eroding her mind and attempting to steal her sanity.
Her journey had indeed been arduous.
Both in the past and in the present, she was utterly exhausted.
She longed to close her eyes...
Feng Ninghe's consciousness began to sink...
"Feng Ninghe!"
Si Jianye cried out in alarm, stepping forward abruptly. His voice was urgent, "Xin Xin is still waiting for you. You cannot die!"
He could sense Feng Ninghe's aura weakening. If this continued, the woman would not last.
He had already placed his hand on Feng Ninghe's head, preparing to absorb the poison into his own body.
At least by drawing out the poison, Feng Ninghe could live a little longer.
As for himself, he wouldn't die immediately.
Seeing Si Jianye's frantic demeanor, Xiao Zhao burst into tears, his tender face looking as if it would crumple. "Master! Wake up quickly! You must not be in trouble! What will I do if something happens to you! There are still so many things waiting for you! We haven't gotten revenge yet!"
Feng Ninghe, tightly wrapped in snow and vines, seemed to sense something. Her eyelids moved with great effort.
Yes, she still had revenge to exact.
Feng Qingcheng was still alive. The Lin Kingdom awaited her. How could she fall here?
Her beloved Xin Xin was waiting for her. Xin Xin had finally found her. How could she abandon Xin Xin and die alone?
She could not die!
So what if Hei Li was a potent poison?
Even heaven could not control her life, let alone a mere poison!
Her consciousness instantly cleared. Feng Yuan enveloped her entire being.
Suddenly, a ball of fire erupted from her, soaring towards the sky.
The intense aura forcefully repelled the ginseng seedling!
The snow that had enveloped Feng Ninghe instantly melted into a puddle!
A powerful aura erupted from her body!
A colossal fire phoenix seemed to break free from its restraints, raising its head and soaring into the sky, roaring.
Reborn from ashes, unstoppable.
Even Si Jianye was forced to take a step back by this powerful aura.
"This is..."
Si Jianye's brows furrowed, his narrow eyes fixed on the sky.
The burly man's eyes seemed about to pop out of their sockets. He leaped to his feet, his speech becoming incoherent, "Nirvana! Blood Phoenix! Her spiritual root is Feng Yuan! This is truly a heaven-chosen prodigy! Worthy of being my disciple!"
A flicker of astonishment rapidly crossed Si Jianye's eyes.
Even ancient aristocratic families might not have had the opportunity to possess Feng Yuan.
And possessing Feng Yuan did not guarantee possessing a Blood Phoenix.
Was this woman truly from an unremarkable family in the Li Kingdom?
Could such a powerful bloodline belong to the Li Kingdom?
Xiao Zhao, as if struck by an idea, beamed with joy. "Wonderful! Rebirth from ashes! This so-called Hei Li will only make Master even stronger! How could mere Hei Li possibly harm Master!"
The Blood Phoenix could incinerate all things in the world.
Even poisonous gas and the resentment of countless deceased souls would be burned away in this nirvana fire.
At the same time, from all directions of the secret realm.
"Look! There's a phoenix in the sky!"
"This phoenix's form is very strange. I've never seen anything like it before. Its aura is incredibly powerful!"
The cultivators within the secret realm, as if discovering something, looked up at the sky.
A red light streaked across the horizon.
The Blood Phoenix, with its graceful and majestic posture, exuded a powerful spiritual energy that seemed to declare its dominion.
"That's a Blood Phoenix! This is a treasure! Even an entire secret realm is not as valuable as this Blood Phoenix! Let's go and see!"
"Quickly inform the disciples of our sect to follow! We absolutely cannot let outsiders get there first!"
In an instant, the cultivators within the secret realm erupted in excitement.
The Blood Phoenix, which only appeared in ancient texts, had materialized in the secret realm!
If they could obtain such a treasure, they would soar to unprecedented heights!
Tang Zun stared at the sky with fervent excitement. "Qingcheng, quickly! Take the disciples with you! If you can obtain this Blood Phoenix, you will be the foremost person in Jinling! Only a heaven-chosen prodigy can be favored by a Blood Phoenix! You definitely can!"
Feng Qingcheng's eyes were fixed on the Blood Phoenix circling in the sky. Without a word, she strode forward. "Master, let's go quickly! We must get there before anyone else!"
