Chapter 34 Life and death unknown

Chapter 34 Life and death unknown

A few minutes later, Lin Chengcheng knocked on the door of Su Muluo's room and saw Su Muluo and Long Ling walking out one after another.

The former of the two of them looked indifferent, but the latter seemed to be enveloped in black energy, and his dark golden eyes glanced at Lin Chengcheng coldly.

Lin Chengcheng: "..."

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that he was dying and would not survive tonight.

"What's wrong?" Su Muluo said in a gentle tone, "There seems to be no evil spirit around here."

"No, no, no, there really is a monster, right in my room!"

Lin Chengcheng quickly led Su Muluo and Long Ling to his room, and carefully opened the ajar door. He saw that it was quiet inside, except for a black cat lying on the bed.

The black cat was Doumi raised by Lin Chengcheng. In order to take his cat with him, he checked it in as a pet while boarding the plane. It was just that during the day, one person and one cat were affectionate and affectionate, but now Lin Chengcheng avoided it like a snake and a scorpion.

Su Muluo met the black cat's dark eyes and raised his brows slightly.

"Who are you?"

Black Cat stood up from the bed, was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke in a man's voice: "We have met before, I am Feng Xuan, the elder of the Bird Tribe."

At that moment, Su Muluo thought he heard wrongly and said, "What?"

Black Cat coughed lightly and said, "Although this sounds surprising, I am indeed Feng Xuan."

"I'm not dead. Mu Ge only killed my clone. My body is still sleeping in the Bird Clan. What you see now is a soul of my clone."

"Before I came to Lincheng, I expected that something bad might happen to me, so I set up this secret method in advance. Now it seems that my guess has indeed come true."

Its voice was indeed exactly the same as Feng Xuan's. Su Muluo said, "Then how did you become possessed by this cat?"

Feng Xuan sighed and said: "That day, Mu Ge poisoned my tea with the bird clan's poison and killed me in the room. Fortunately, the secret method I set up in advance can keep my body, soul, and soul alive.It was attached to him without letting him notice."

"Then I met the young master and left with him, but I couldn't do anything in that state. In order to speak to you, I had no choice but to take over this cat's body."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Chengcheng said, "Then can you still go out? This is my cat!"

Feng Xuan said: "Young Master, don't worry. When I return to the Bird Clan, I will be able to return to my true form. I no longer need to occupy this cat's body."

Lin Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard Su Muluo mention the name "Fengxuan" before and knew that he was from his father's group, so he still had a good impression of him.

However, Su Muluo did not completely trust the black cat, but asked him a few more questions, which were all based on the conversation between the two when Fengxuan came to the coffee shop that day. It was not until he answered fluently that he believed that this person was the real bird tribe.Elder.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Now that the black cat was confirmed to be Feng Xuan, Su Muluo said, "Last time in the alien bureau, I saw the Fenghen relic in Mu Ge's hand, which was a round eyeball.stone."

When Feng Xuan heard this, even though he was still in the body of a cat, it could be seen that he was suddenly angry: "Sure enough, Feng Hen's eyes are in their hands, and they are inseparable from Feng Hen's death back then!"

Lin Chengcheng's expression changed, and Feng Xuan continued: "When Feng Hen died in the ice prison for no reason, and his body was even incomplete when he was buried, I suspected that the great elder had killed him. But they did it without leaving any traces, and they usedThe power in their hands confuses the public, making it impossible to investigate even if they want to... Now that Fenghen's eyes are actually in their hands, that is clear and ironclad evidence!"

Su Muluo said: "But Mu Ge took it out openly, and he didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered."

"It's not because he colluded with the Great Elder's forces!" Feng Xuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "They won't be proud for long, and Mu Ge, I have adopted this bastard for many years and treated him as my own son. Unexpectedly,But he knows people but doesn’t know their hearts... When I return to the clan, I will definitely kill this traitor!"

"Then, do you know what happened to my father back then?" Lin Chengcheng couldn't help but ask, "He and my mother..."

Feng Xuan looked at him after hearing this, his originally angry expression slowly calmed down and became softer.

"Your father actually has his own reasons." Feng Xuan said, "Fifty years ago, your grandfather died unexpectedly, and your father had to take on the responsibility of the clan leader at a young age. At that time, the great elder was covering the sky with just one hand., and it was he who forced your father to marry his daughter, just to further seize the power of the Bird Clan."

"Later, the father and his daughter caused trouble in the clan and disturbed the peace of the entire bird clan. Although your father wanted to stop it, he was unable to do anything. It was at that time that he met your mother."

"Your mother is a gentle human woman. If the great elder had not forced her, your father would have married her and they would have been together for the rest of their lives... It's a pity that the great elder's daughter later discovered your father's relationship."

When Feng Xuan said this, his tone was filled with obvious disgust, and he said: "That woman clearly had several male favorites outside, but she accused your father of being unfaithful. As a last resort, your father had no choice but to take your mother and escape."...When you are captured again, your father will be the only one left."

Everyone knew what happened after that. Feng Hen died in an ice prison for no reason. His death aroused the blood and hatred of another faction of the Bird Tribe. From then on, they united together and began to resist the control of the Great Elder.

Lin Chengcheng listened blankly, Feng Xuan sighed again and said: "Actually, your mother didn't know your father's identity from the beginning to the end. Your father originally wanted to wait until he overthrew the great elder before telling your mother everything.Officially marrying your mother as a wife according to the etiquette of the clan leader, just..."

Just not in time.

After Feng Xuan finished speaking, Lin Chengcheng remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered: "I suddenly... didn't really want to apologize to that woman anymore."

One of the purposes of his return to the Bird Clan was to apologize to his father's wife. At first, he thought this woman was a victim in the love affair between his father and his mother... but now it seems that it is not the case at all.

Feng Xuan sneered and said: "Apologise to her? Does she deserve it? Not to mention that your father's death was related to her. The day after she married your father, she brought her male favorite to your father——How arrogant, he has simply trampled your father’s face under his feet!”

"Besides, your father didn't want to marry her at all. He was forced by the great elder! From the beginning to the end, he was a tool for the father and daughter to fight for power!" Feng Xuan became more and more angry as he spoke, with hatred in his words."Actually, I also suspected that your grandfather's death was related to their father and daughter. I just hate that the Great Elder is too powerful. Even if I had suspicions, I couldn't find out or do anything... I'm still too useless!"

"No, you have already helped my father and me a lot!" Lin Chengcheng said, "Without you, I wouldn't have known this past, and there would be no one I can rely on in the Bird Tribe."

Feng Xuan sighed after hearing this and said: "Young master, don't worry, I have sent a message to our people, and someone will come to pick you up when you return to the Bird Clan... After all, after so many years, the Great Elder's factionPeople can’t do anything to us for the time being.”

Su Muluo listened to their words quietly and said, "How strong is that great elder?"

Feng Xuan looked at him and said respectfully: "He is an eight-hundred-year-old bird demon, and the young master's grandfather has seven hundred years of demon power. Originally, it would not have allowed the great elder to be so unscrupulous, but when he died unexpectedly, Fenghen could notThree hundred years later, I was unable to compete with the Great Elder, which led to the subsequent situation."

Su Muluo nodded and said, "That's it."

His tone was indifferent, but it shocked Feng Xuan's heart, and at the same time gave birth to an uncontrollable joy.

The eight-hundred-year-old demon is already one of the strongest in today's demon world. Anyone who hears this will be frightened, but the man in front of him has no reaction, as if eight hundred years is not worth mentioning in front of him.

You must know that among demons, the gap of a hundred years is already huge, and two hundred years is a chasm. If it is three hundred years, it is like a human versus an ant, destruction is at the fingertips... There are only three thousand-year-olds left in the world.Among the great demons, the strongest one is eleven hundred years old, which is three hundred years more than the great elder.

As expected, your Excellency is one of the three thousand-year-old demons. The Bird Clan is really saved this time!

Feng Xuan was overjoyed for a moment, but he didn't know that the Sumuluo in front of him was not a big demon with only one thousand and eleven hundred years of demonic power, but a phoenix that was almost a god. The demonic power could no longer be calculated by the so-called years...Besides, if we really want to count, he has at least five thousand years of demon power.

After all, beings like phoenixes and dragons, which are almost gods, can also practice in eggs by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is only after breaking out of the shell that they have clearer spiritual intelligence and are truly born in this world.

But fortunately Feng Xuan didn't know this, otherwise he might not be happy at all at this moment, but just fainted.

"Sir, the Phoenix relic you are looking for may also be in the hands of the Great Elder."

Feng Xuan heard the conversation between Lin Chengcheng and Su Muluo when he was following Lin Chengcheng before. He also knew that Su Muluo wanted the relics of the Phoenix clan, so he took the initiative to mention it now.

"That relic was missing when Feng Hen fled the clan. The great elder used this as an excuse to accuse him of defecting. But I know Feng Hen, and he will never steal that relic, becauseIt is not only a relic of the Phoenix Clan, but also something that the leader of the Bird Clan will protect for generations to come.”

Su Muluo said: "Do you know what that Phoenix relic is?"

Feng Xuan shook his head and said: "Only the successive clan leaders know what it is, but as an elder of the Bird Clan, I still know its origins."

"That should be at least five thousand years ago. The Bird Clan suffered a great disaster. Thanks to the protection of the Phoenix Clan, the entire Bird Clan was safe and sound."

"Later, the leader of the Phoenix Clan handed something to the Bird Clan, saying that he would come to pick it up many years later. In order to repay his life-saving grace, the leader of the Bird Clan immediately swore to protect this thing for the rest of his life until the day the Phoenix takes it back."

"Then what?" Lin Chengcheng asked extremely curiously, "Why is that thing still in the Bird Clan? Didn't Phoenix come to pick it up?"

Feng Xuan said: "This is the most regrettable thing, because not long after that, the Phoenix clan followed the way of heaven and was destroyed... That thing also became the relic of the Phoenix clan and stayed in the bird clan forever."

When Su Muluo heard this, her eyelashes slightly lowered, hiding the unclear look in her eyes.

At this moment, his hand was held by another person, and the strength and warmth brought his fingers together in the palm of his hand.Su Muluo raised his eyes and met Long Ling's focused and gentle eyes.

"..."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled at his dragon.

Lin Chengcheng on the other side said "Ah" and said regretfully: "It turns out there is no Phoenix anymore. I thought I would be lucky enough to see it one day."

Feng Xuan said: "To be honest, with your strength, young master, even if there is a phoenix, you have no chance to meet it."

Lin Chengcheng: "..." So true.

Feng Xuan added: "Although the Phoenix clan was destroyed, the leader of the Bird Clan at that time still remembered the kindness of Phoenix and established the clan rules, making the Phoenix relic a treasure of the Bird Clan, and stipulated that the Clan Leader of the Bird Clan must guard the treasure throughout his life.No private possession or leakage of secrets is allowed. Anyone who secretly possesses or leaks secrets shall be executed, and their relatives will be expelled from the Bird Clan - this is why only the clan leader and elders later knew about the existence of the phoenix relic."

He thought about it for a moment before saying, "Actually, there is one last rule in the clan rules back then, which is that if a descendant of Phoenix comes to pick up the relic and recognizes the owner of the relic, then that descendant can take the relic away...It’s just that when the entire Phoenix clan was destroyed, where would the descendants come from?”

Lin Chengcheng shook his head sadly, while Su Muluo said calmly: "In other words, the phoenix relic disappeared after Fenghen's accident, and is it possible that it is in the hands of the great elder?"

Feng Xuan said: "Yes, Feng Hen and the old patriarch both abide by their duties as patriarchs and protect the relic with all their heart. Only the great elder has expressed his covetousness for the relic many times, so he is the most suspicious."

Su Mu nodded and said, "I understand."

It was getting late now, and he had a rough understanding of the Phoenix relic. Thinking that Feng Xuan might have something else to say to Lin Chengcheng, he went back with Long Ling.

In the hotel room, Su Muluo lay on the soft big bed and buried himself in the warm quilt.

The little black dragon curled up next to him, wagging its tail, not very happy.

"squeak."

When it came back, it wanted to continue the kiss before, but it was rejected by its phoenix!

You obviously promised, but you refused!

Not happy!

It's all that half-demon's fault. If it hadn't been for his interruption, it would have been able to kiss its phoenix!

The more the little black dragon thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He immediately stopped flicking his tail and hugged Su Muluo's fingers and rubbed them.

Su Muluo looked at it with a smile and said, "You have bad luck. You can't blame others."

Little Black Dragon: "Ouch!"

Obviously Phoenix is cheating too!

Phoenix has already agreed!

Sumu Luo didn't hear what it said, so he pulled the quilt over his head.

Little Black Dragon: "..."

The little black dragon was so angry that he lay down beside the bed.

The room became quiet, and Su Muluo felt the warmth of the little dragon on the side of his face, recalling the conversation with Feng Xuan just now.

He got a lot of useful information tonight, and the one that concerned him the most was the owner of the relic - the leader of the Phoenix clan.

Before this, Su Muluo had thought that the relic would belong to one of his clan members, but he did not expect that it would actually belong to their clan leader...the Lord of the Phoenix, the King of Hundred Phoenixes.

But, why did the clan leader entrust his things to the Bird Clan?

Is it because he has foreseen the fate of the Phoenix clan in the near future and wants to leave one thing behind no matter what?

But if that's the case, why did he say that he would take this thing away many years later... Could it be that he had already calculated that thousands of years later, there would be a clan member left in the world who accidentally found this relic?Whereabouts?

The more Su Muluo thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. He turned his head and touched the little black dragon on the side of his face. The little black dragon hugged him back and curled up in his palm.

Su Muluo held the warmth in his palm, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and closed his eyes.

That night, he fell asleep with several questions. He wondered if it was because he was thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night. Soon, he had a strange dream.

In the dream, it was still the long past, but before the eyes came, there were large swaths of blood, meandering from the sky to the eyes, splashing dazzling bright red.

For some reason, Su Muluo felt sad as soon as he saw that blood, as if his soul had been torn apart, and the most important part of his life had been forcibly stripped away, leaving only a despairing emptiness... There was no feeling left, exceptThe pain was so clear.

He was speechless and could only stare ahead blankly. The blood flowing between his limbs was no longer blood, but the chill that penetrated his bone marrow.The sky and the earth were cold, and his heart was gripped by the huge pain, almost suffocating, and he even wanted to die just like that.

"Phoenix..."

At this moment, someone called him next to him.

"Phoenix."

It was the voice of a completely unfamiliar man. It was just two simple words, but it made him feel sick and disgusted.

He wants his dragon. Only his dragon can call him "Phoenix", and only his dragon can call him "Phoenix" with a smile and unabashed love and tenderness in his tone.

But... where is his dragon?

Phoenix looked around blankly, trying to find his dragon, but he saw nothing except the blood.

In an instant, he seemed to suddenly know why he was so sad and why he was heartbroken to the point of suffocation.He even guessed where the blood in front of him came from and who it belonged to... But this idea was suppressed the moment it popped up.

No, not possible.

Absolutely impossible.

Phoenix's whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his head was in splitting pain, as if it had been pierced by thousands of steel needles. The pain made him sweat coldly and his face turned pale.

At the same time, he heard the strange and malicious man's voice again.

"Phoenix, look... isn't he in your arms?"

"..."

Phoenix lowered his head stiffly. He saw a strand of silver hair slipping from his shoulders, and also saw that his hands were covered in blood.

And in his arms, there was a man lying.

A man covered in blood and unaware of life or death.

——

In an instant, Su Muluo woke up and suddenly opened his eyes.

At the moment he woke up, huge panic swallowed him, and he almost instinctively leaned to the side, trying to seek the familiar warmth.

Just a little bit of heat was enough to calm all the fear and uncertainty in his heart, making him feel completely at ease.

...but he didn't touch anything.

Su Mu froze on the spot, his fingertips were cold, and at that moment, all the blood in his body was about to freeze.

His bed was empty.

His dragon... wasn't with him.
