Chapter 1395: It’s Indeed You!
“Everyone, please take a look!”
Mystic Frost stood in the Flower Admiration Pavilion and pointed forward.
Everyone followed Mystic Frost’s gaze.
From that angle, it was perfect for them to look down at the gigantic volcano. Burning lava surged within, scarlet as blood as it emitted a scorching heatwave—it was extremely shocking.
What was even more shocking was that a tall tree grew in the volcano. Its branches were filled with green leaves and flowers that resembled flames bloomed one after another!
Fusang Tree!
“That’s the legendary divine tree of the East Sea.”
Mo Ying murmured softly.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep shock as well!
If they had not witnessed it personally, none of them would have imagined that a tree would be able to grow within that scorching lava!
“Desolate Martial, it’s indeed you!”
Right then, a venomous voice filled with hatred sounded from outside the Flower Admiration Pavilion!
Among the people in the Flower Admiration Pavilion, Mo Ying was the only one who was slightly shocked. Turning around, she looked towards the voice and hollered, “Who’s there?!”
The others, including Mighty Figure Mystic Frost, Heavenly Phoenix and even Su Zimo, did not have much of a shocked expression on their faces, as though they had known that this would happen.
Anyone who could recognize him as Desolate Martial must have met him before.
On the East Sea, there was only a single person who had seen him before.
The Golden Crow Third Prince!
Su Zimo turned around slowly and looked at the Golden Crow Third Prince who was not far away with a mocking expression. “Indeed, it’s you.”
Actually, when he heard about the East Sea, Su Zimo already thought of the Golden Crow Third Prince.
Legend has it that the forbidden ground of the Golden Crow race was on Penglai Island of the East Sea!
“From your tone, you’ve already guessed it?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix asked with a smile.
Su Zimo said, “It’s been hard on you to have to wait so long before making your move.”
“When did you start suspecting me?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was puzzled and asked, “I’ve never acted strange towards you. Even for your status as a young master, I was the one who took the lead to greet you.”
“I had my doubts the first time we met,”
Su Zimo said, “At that time, you asked me where the woman with the Divine Phoenix Bone went. I said that she left a long time ago and had never returned.”
“That’s right, that’s true,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix nodded.
Su Zimo continued, “When you heard that news, you seemed to have some regrets. However, I could vaguely sense that you had heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed considerably.”
“That’s because with that, you could attack me without any reservations!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix could not help but laugh and nod. “Not bad, your senses are truly sharp. Even such a slight change in emotions can’t deceive you.”
Su Zimo continued, “After that, everything went out of your control. You were unprepared when I suddenly wielded the Dragon Soul Saber and became the young master of Divine Phoenix Island.”
When he heard that, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix’s expression darkened immediately.
Su Zimo asked, “A few days ago, the three Grand Demons that encircled me were also your doing, right?”
“That’s right!”
Since things had come to this, there was no need to hide anything anymore. Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix nodded. “At that time, I obtained a secret letter from Penglai Island that said that you were the legendary Dao Lord Desolate Martial!”
“You killed many Conjoint Body Mighty Figures in the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley and was renowned throughout the world! Naturally, I was skeptical about that.”
Su Zimo continued, “Therefore, the reason why you asked the three Grand Demons to encircle and kill me was because you wanted to test my capabilities.”
“That’s right,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix said, “When I saw the three Grand Demons die so swiftly, I decided to join forces with Penglai Island!”
“Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, how dare you collude with Penglai Island to harm the young master!”
It was only then that Mo Ying snapped out of her stupor and could not help but question coldly.
Of everyone present, she was probably the only one who was kept in the dark.
Initially, Su Zimo thought that Mo Ying was bought over by Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix as well. After all, she was the one who suggested for him to come to Penglai Island initially.
Now, it seemed like Mo Ying truly did not know.
“Heavenly Phoenix, you’re someone of Divine Phoenix Island. How can you let down your conscience and the guidance of the Island Master all these years for doing such a brazen act?!”
Mo Ying could not take it lying down and questioned again.
Even now, she could not understand how Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix who was initially gentle and friendly would suddenly turn into such a state!
“Conscience?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix’s lips curled as he laughed in a self-deprecating manner. “Let me ask you, did the Island Master have a conscience imparting the position of the young master to an outsider?”
“Whoever wields the Dragon Soul Saber will be the young master of Divine Phoenix Island. That is a rule set by the Saber Emperor. Our Island Master was merely following the ancestral teachings, what is wrong with that?”
Mo Ying argued loudly.
“Fufu,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix laughed. “I was born in Divine Phoenix Island and grew up there. How much have I done for Divine Phoenix Island all these years? Just because I can’t wield the Dragon Soul Saber, the Island Master has passed down the position of the young master to an outsider?”
“I’m indignant!”
“On what grounds?!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had painstakingly managed Divine Phoenix Island and yet, he was surpassed by Su Zimo overnight—he could not accept that at all.
“The Dragon Soul Saber belongs to me!”
“The position of the young master belongs to me as well!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix did not conceal the killing intent in his heart as he said slowly, “I don’t care who you are. If you dare to fight with me for something, there’s only death awaiting you!”
“The reason why you, Desolate Martial, can wield the Dragon Soul Saber is because an expert implanted the Divine Phoenix Bone in your body. As long as I can snatch away your Divine Phoenix Bone and possess two Divine Phoenix Bones, I’ll be able to wield the Dragon Soul Saber as well!”
Mo Ying said coldly, “Heavenly Phoenix, if you continue to be stubborn today, what’s the use of you wielding the Dragon Soul Saber? You’ll be hunted by everyone of Divine Phoenix Island and won’t be able to return for the rest of your life!”
“Hahahaha!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix could not help but laugh. “Mo Ying, you’re truly way too naive! None of you shall leave today. Once Desolate Martial dies, I’ll push away all responsibility cleanly! I’m the only one who can be the young master of Divine Phoenix Island!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had long discussed everything with Penglai Island and the Golden Crow race.
As long as Desolate Martial was dead, he could blame this matter on the Golden Crow race and stay out of it.
Who would know the truth when he returned to Divine Phoenix Island with the Dragon Soul Saber?
After saying so much, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix finally released all the pent-up frustrations in his heart over the years—he felt immense joy!
His gaze shifted to Su Zimo’s face.
Su Zimo still looked calm and composed, as though he had not realized that he was in danger and could die at any moment!
That composure made Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix frown and feel frustrated.
“There’s something I don’t understand,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix glared at Su Zimo and said in a deep voice, “Since you suspect me, why did you follow me?”
“Because… you’re after my Divine Phoenix Bone and it’s the same for me,”
Su Zimo laughed as well. “If you were obedient, I wouldn’t have attacked you either. However, since you have a death wish, you can’t blame me.”
