Chapter 249 His name was given by her.
Mu Han looked at the spot where the Demon Phoenix Egg had once been, her face so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.
Seeing Mu Han's expression, his subordinates became even more fearful.
"What are you all standing there for?" Mu Han's cold gaze swept over his subordinates: "Hurry up and go find them!"
"Yes!" the subordinates responded and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Just as her subordinates were about to leave, Mu Han called out, and the departing Mo Du stopped in his tracks: "Sir, is there anything else you need?"
"Go to the Boundary Flower Forest." Mu Han's tone was sinister: "Those flower spirits might know where the Demon Phoenix Egg is?"
"Yes," the subordinates responded and immediately left the cave.
Mu Han coldly swept her gaze around the cave, then turned and walked out. As soon as she stepped out of the cave, the group saw Ye Qingshuang flying towards them.
"Who goes there?" The demon subordinate who came out first immediately shouted when he saw Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang's gaze swept over the demons and landed on Mu Han, who came out next: "You're the leader?"
Instead of answering, Mu Han asked, "Who are you?"
"You can persecute Hua Ling, but you can't tell what I am?" Ye Qing Shuang looked at Mu Han and said slowly, "If you don't get the Demon Phoenix Egg, where do you plan to go?"
"Are we going to the Flower Grove to find a partner?"
"Then I can't let you go."
"Ha." Mu Han laughed in anger after hearing Ye Qing Shuang's words: "Don't think you can stop us just because you're a spirit!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Han unleashed a burst of power at Ye Qingshuang, and the other demons also attacked Ye Qingshuang in an instant.
With no one else around and no suppression of her power, Ye Qingshuang didn't tolerate them at all. With a wave of her hand, a jade flute appeared, and as the sound of the jade flute rang out, she controlled the power of the mountains and rivers, attacking the demons who were flying towards her.
"Boom!"
The power of one person clashed with the power of many demons. Ye Qingshuang retreated on the wind without being injured in the slightest. However, the demons were not so lucky. The force of the collision exploded, blowing away most of the demons.
Some of the demons that flew out returned to the cave, while others crashed into the cave walls.
Mu Han looked at the demons who had been knocked away and coldly scolded, "Useless."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Han moved and slashed at Ye Qing Shuang with her demonic blade. Ye Qing Shuang met her attack with her jade flute, and the two instantly became entangled in combat. Only when they truly clashed did Mu Han realize just how strong Ye Qing Shuang was.
This is not the power of an ordinary spirit!
After exchanging blows with Mu Han, Ye Qing Shuang's face showed surprise: "A half-realm Heavenly Demon?"
While attacking, Mu Han coldly retorted, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
"Heh." Ye Qingshuang sneered, "Don't tell me you're just a half-realm Heavenly Demon. Even if you were a pure-blooded Heavenly Demon, I would still have the strength to fight you. What are you so arrogant about?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingshuang's attacks became fierce. Mu Han was able to cope at first, but the more she fought, the more she struggled.
The power carrying demonic energy collided with the power of the mountains and rivers. Instead of retreating, Ye Qingshuang advanced, passing through the demonic energy, and struck Mu Han, who was hiding in the demonic energy and trying to launch a sneak attack.
Mu Han slashed with his sword, but Ye Qingshuang spun around and kicked Mu Han, sending him flying. Before Mu Han could regain his balance, Ye Qingshuang raised her hand and unleashed a wind blade at his face.
Upon seeing the wind blades, Mu Han was startled and quickly retreated. Seeing that she couldn't avoid them, Mu Han's eyes darkened, and she pulled the injured demon towards her. The demon was forced to fly over and was grabbed by Mu Han and used as a shield in front of her.
"Puff puff"
The wind blade pierced his body, and the demon, who had been used as a meat shield, coughed up mouthfuls of blood and quickly died.
Ye Qingshuang increased the strength in her hand, and the wind directly blew away the corpse that was blocking Mu Han's way.
Mu Han raised her hand and erected a barrier. Wind blades shot into the barrier, and the barrier gradually cracked.
Seeing that the barrier was failing, Mu Han looked at the flying boat in the sky: "What are you waiting for!?"
The front of the airship hovering above opened, revealing a circular device. Immediately afterward, lightning power condensed and blasted towards Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang turned the jade flute in reverse, and an ice barrier instantly rose up. The power of lightning struck the ice barrier, and a cracking sound came from it.
Mu Han looked at Ye Qingshuang and sneered, "This power is comparable to that of a celestial demon. I don't believe you can withstand it!"
"I've said it before, even a pure-blooded demon can be a match for me." Ye Qing Shuang said, and the ice that had already cracked thickened again, blocking the lightning cannon attack from the flying boat.
Seeing this, Mu Han's expression twisted for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask again, "Who exactly are you?"
Ye Qingshuang did not respond. After blocking the lightning cannon with her ice, she rode the wind and attacked Mu Han.
As Ye Qingshuang left, the barrier used to block the lightning cannon shattered instantly. Ye Qingshuang, who was originally flying towards Mu Han, made a sharp turn and rode the wind away from the attack range of the lightning cannon.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the lightning cannon blasted into the cave entrance, where Mu Han was standing.
The power of lightning erupted, and Ye Qingshuang stood in mid-air, outside the attack range, looking towards the cave.
The lightning strike was too powerful; the cave collapsed. Mu Han was already injured by her, and now she suffered a blow comparable to that of a demon. Neither she nor the demons would survive. Thinking this, Ye Qingshuang turned to leave, but…
Just as she turned around, a person silently appeared in front of her, his bandaged hand clenched into a fist, and punched Ye Qingshuang in the abdomen, immediately creating a bloody hole.
"puff"
Ye Qingshuang suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, but before she could react, the man attacked again, grabbing at Ye Qingshuang's neck.
Ye Qingshuang barely dodged, and several bloody marks instantly appeared on the side of her neck. Seeing that Ye Qingshuang had dodged, the man kicked her, and Ye Qingshuang fell from mid-air.
With a "bang," Ye Qingshuang collapsed to the ground, as if all the bones in her body were broken, and she kept spitting blood.
The man landed beside Ye Qingshuang, looking down at her with his misty blue eyes like ice that had never melted, cold and lifeless.
The newcomer looked at Ye Qingshuang and asked, "Where is Yi Yi?"
Ye Qingshuang stared at the man in disbelief. He had appeared without a sound, and not only that, she was completely powerless against him. What kind of monster was he?
One by one, Ling Yi?
Does this man know Ling Yi?
Ye Qingshuang forcibly moved her body backward; as she retreated, the man advanced, until they bumped into something...
Before Ye Qingshuang could turn around, a foot stepped on her shoulder and crushed her hard.
Ye Qingshuang winced in pain, and then heard Mu Han's voice: "Your Highness Huo Xin, thank you for your protection. If it weren't for your protection, I wouldn't have survived."
Hossin?
Ye Qingshuang felt that the name sounded familiar, but then she thought about it again and felt that it was a loss, since Mu Han was still alive!
Fortunately, she intercepted that power and ultimately directed it towards Mu Han.
"Useless." Huo Xin looked at Mu Han coldly: "I sealed you to retrieve the Demon Phoenix Egg. Now that you've found it, why not just go and take it?"
"Your subordinate..." Mu Han didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "The Phoenix True Flame is burning too fiercely, and there is also an array set up by the Heavenly Fox inside. Your subordinate really cannot take it by force."
In response to Mu Han's words, Huo Xin said with certainty, "You're afraid of dying."
Mu Han lowered her head, not daring to refute.
That's Phoenix True Flame, who wouldn't be afraid of death?
"I'm only giving you this one chance." Huo Xin's gaze returned to Ye Qing Shuang. He raised his hand, and transparent threads flew from his fingertips, wrapping around Ye Qing Shuang.
Just as the threads were about to touch Ye Qingshuang, a voice came: "Your Highness Huo Xin, I came to help you, not so that you could harm my fiancée."
The silk thread stopped, and Huo Xin and Mu Han looked up and saw Wu Huiyuan walking slowly towards them.
fiancée?
Their gazes returned to Ye Qingshuang's face.
Huo Xin knew nothing about this; he had simply used the Spirit Clan's passage to leave. As for Mu Han... he knew even less about the Spirit Clan.
Under their gazes, Wu Huiyuan walked over, squatted down and helped Ye Qingshuang up, his tone affectionate: "Huanling, I told you long ago not to throw a tantrum at me, but you wouldn't listen and left alone."
Ye Qingshuang looked at Wu Huiyuan with a cold expression. In the past, she would have stabbed him, or at least insulted him. But right now, she was too weak.
Wu Huiyuan picked her up and looked at Huo Xin: "Your Highness Huo Xin, you have limited time outside, so it would be better to find what you want as soon as possible." After saying that, Wu Huiyuan was about to leave with Ye Qingshuang in his arms.
"Stop right there," Huo Xin said coldly. "You can't take her away. Does she know where Yi Yi is?"
"Yi Yi?" Wu Huiyuan chuckled. "Your Highness Huo Xin, my fiancée recently had a fight with me and left the Spirit Clan. How could she possibly know someone you know?"
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
“There’s no mistake.” Huo Xin’s gaze fell on Ye Qing Shuang’s face: “I’ve seen her with Yi Yi.”
Ye Qingshuang was taken aback; she had never seen it before… Suddenly, Ye Qingshuang froze.
Hossin, silk thread...
She remembered!
No wonder the name Huo Xin sounded familiar; she had heard it before!
At the Tianling Sect's spirit mine, Ling Yi had uttered the name 'Huoxin' while observing the corpses that had been drained of blood!
Huo Xin, the silk thread... and Huo Xin's mention of having seen her before instantly reminded Ye Qing Shuang of the puppet that had been chasing them back then.
As she realized the key point, Ye Qingshuang's body became increasingly stiff. Wu Huiyuan, holding her, could naturally feel her change, but when facing Huo Xin, his tone remained calm: "Your Highness Huo Xin, there are countless people in the world who look alike. This face is not Huanling's true appearance, but merely a face she can change at will."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Huiyuan flicked his fingers, and a force flew out, slicing across Ye Qingshuang's forehead, instantly transforming her delicate face into something else entirely.
Wu Huiyuan looked at Huo Xin: "Your Highness Huo Xin, you should be able to tell which face is the real face?"
Huo Xin's gaze fell on Ye Qing Shuang's face, and he could indeed see that this was her true face, but...
"Whether she knows Yi Yi or not can be found out by examining the puppet strings. Lord Witch Spirit, you might as well let me give it a try."
"Hoshin," Wu Huiyuan's tone turned cold, "Don't push your luck."
Before Huo Xin could say anything, Wu Huiyuan said again, "Here, anything is possible, except for summoning spirits. I hope Your Highness Huo Xin understands."
Mu Han's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Witch Spirit Master, what arrogance! How dare you speak to His Highness like that? Aren't you afraid..."
"What are you?" Wu Huiyuan looked at Mu Han with cold eyes: "This spirit master is speaking with Prince Huo Xin, what business is it of yours?"
Mu Han was somewhat dissatisfied, but considering Wu Huiyuan's strength, she kept quiet.
Hossin remained silent.
Wu Huiyuan ignored them and left with Ye Qingshuang in his arms. As he passed Mu Han, Wu Huiyuan gave her a cold look, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Mu Han was startled by those looks, but then she remembered that they were all working for Prince Huo Xin, so she felt relieved.
After Wu Huiyuan left with Ye Qingshuang, Mu Han looked at Huo Xin and asked, "Your Highness Huo Xin, what do we do now?"
Before Huo Xin could speak, his right hand, which he had just used to attack Ye Qing Shuang, suddenly broke off and fell to the ground.
Mu Han's eyelids twitched. Before she could say anything, several threads shot out from her arm, connecting with the gaze that had appeared from her shoulder, and pulled her arm back.
"Find the Demon Phoenix." Huo Xin's tone was indifferent: "Only a body tempered by the Phoenix True Fire can be used by me for a long time."
"Yes," Mu Han replied, "Your Highness, I will find the Demon Phoenix as soon as possible."
...
Wu Huiyuan carried Ye Qingshuang away from the Heavenly Fox Cave and stopped near the Boundary Flower Forest. From a distance, a pink expanse could be seen.
It's wonderful to be connected with the flowers in the forest.
Ye Qingshuang glanced at it and then looked away.
Wu Huiyuan raised his hand and placed his palm on Ye Qingshuang's injured neck. A continuous stream of power overflowed, covering Ye Qingshuang's wound and healing her.
Ye Qingshuang looked at the man so close to her and asked in a cold tone, "Who is Huo Xin?"
“Sage of the Origin Clan.” Wu Huiyuan looked at Ye Qingshuang gently: “Huanling, if you don’t want to return to the Spirit Clan, you don’t have to, but don’t follow the person Huo Xin is looking for anymore.”
Ye Qingshuang remained silent.
Wu Huiyuan continued, "Hoshin is a very powerful madman. He can only use a fraction of his power now. Once he finds a way out, his strength will only be greater than what you saw today. Getting involved in Hoshin's affairs is too dangerous."
“Wu Huiyuan, I know nothing about any Origin Clan.” Ye Qingshuang looked into his deep eyes: “How do you know?”
Wu Huiyuan looked into those beautiful eyes, eyes that had once been filled with carefree joy. She was a pure spirit nurtured by the Spirit Clan's Mother Tree, the future queen of the Spirit Clan, favored by the Spirit Lord and his wife, and loved by her companions. She was the most dazzling existence in the Spirit Clan. He gazed at her from that Wushan Mountain. Many, many times, he wanted to go to her side, but he could not.
He was born into the evil of the world, which would taint such a pure spirit, and he did not want that.
But he never expected that she would discover him, rush to Wushan to take him away, and bestow upon him the name 'Huiyuan'.
She said that she brought him out, that she called him Ling and named him Huiyuan, meaning that she called him and he wanted to return, and that Yuan meant the power of Wushan that nurtured him.
He thought, "Calling back to the source, how wonderful."
His name was given to him by her, and it corresponded to his name. He was so happy that when he heard the calling voice, he did not respond for a long time.
He didn't want to hurt her, but he didn't expect that the Spirit Clan had already sown the seeds of disaster.
