nIn the drizzling rain.

nLin Yan stood before Xiao Bai’s grave, allowing himself to drench in the rain.

nHe had a white jade vase in his hand.

nAt this moment, a mist of constantly flickering rays within this jade vase could be vaguely seen.

n“Xiao Bai, this is the soul essence …refined from the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire.”

nAfter saying that, Lin Yan placed the jade vase before Xiao Bai’s grave.

nThe flickering rays inside the vase instantly turned into a single ray, flew out, and began to spread in all directions.

nThe rain flowed down Lin Yan’s cheeks, making it unclear whether it was rain or his tears.#)

n(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)

n“Soul essence. This is the soul essence refined from an immortal! If it is used to assist in cultivation, it is enough for one’s cultivation to rise further.”

nThe crowd looked at Lin Yan, who didn’t hesitate to open this bottle of soul essence, allowing the soul essence inside to drift away.

nWhen they saw it, their hearts ached severely.

nTreasures like soul essence could only be refined from the souls of powerful cultivators above the Sage Realm.

nIts efficacy wasn’t only enhancing the soul power but could even boost the cultivator’s enlightenment.

nSuch a bottle of soul essence was enough to exchange for an immortal weapon.

nHowever, Lin Yan offered the little fox a precious soul essence just like that.

nTo many people, it was a pure waste.

n…

n“Xiao Bai, I should have stayed here to accompany you, but I promised certain someone something …After I’m done, I will return.”

nIn the rain, Lin Yan’s lips moved.

nAnd the jade vase in front of him was still continuously dispersing soul essence.

nOf course, he was aware how precious the Soul Essence was.

nBut what if it was precious? Even if he killed the Seven Great Demon Empire a hundred times again, Xiao Bai …still couldn’t come back to him.

nLin Yan stood before Xiao Bai’s grave and continued to speak.

nOnly when the rain cleared did he slowly turn around and walk toward the distance.

nWhen he walked to the edge of this mountain forest, he couldn’t help but look back.

nThis time, there was no more Xiao Bai’s figure in the distance. Instead, there was only a small grave.

nAfter staring at the distant grave for a moment, Lin Yan turned back abruptly, and his figure launched into the sky.

n…

nA month ago, Lin Yan finally agreed to join the Heavenly Palace after Xiao Mei’s persuasion.

nBut his condition was for the Heavenly Palace first to help him kill the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire.

nIf the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire didn’t die, he couldn’t avenge Xiao Bai.

nXiao Mei agreed to Lin Yan’s condition very simply.

nOne month later.

nIt was today that Xiao Mei delivered him the bottle of soul essence.

nJudging from the aura emitted from the soul essence, this bottle of soul essence was indeed the one refined from the Lord of the Seven Great Demon Empire.

nAccording to the agreement, Lin Yan would join the Heavenly Palace the day he was delivered the soul essence.

n…

nJust after Lin Yan left, a faint flame suddenly rose on Xiao Bai’s grave.

nThis flame, little by little, absorbed the soul essence that was scattered around, and the flame grew more and more intense.

nA phoenix with huge wings slowly coalesced out in the flame, emitting a silent shrill cry.

nThe Phoenix!

nNirvana! (TN: Rebirth)#)

n…

n(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)

nThe crowd stared at this scene with wide-open eyes.

nA creepy and frightening feeling filled their minds.

nIt couldn’t be!

nAlmost everyone’s mind echoed with these three words.

nWhat was in front of them made them reluctant to believe.

nBut the scene inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror made them believe in a fact.

nThat was, Xiao Bai had resurrected.

nMoreover, it was a real Phoenix.

n“The Phoenix.”

nEveryone snapped back and looked at the Demon Queen sitting on the flaming throne.

nIn the Lingxuan Continent, there could only be one Phoenix, the Demon Queen.

nXiao Bai had resurrected and turned into a Phoenix.

nWhat about the Demon Queen?

nWho was she?

nIn fact, almost everyone in their minds immediately came up with the answer.

nBut they didn’t want to believe it.

nIt was this situation that was too bizarre.

nThe Demon Queen was the powerhouse in the Lingxuan Continent.

nIf she was Xiao Bai, would she be like Xiao Yanran and directly turn against them?

nIf she did, they would have difficulty dealing with her.

n…

nPain.

nThe Demon Queen, at this moment, didn’t care about the strange eyes around her.

nAt this moment, in her mind, it felt like a million needles were pricking every inch of her.

nBut with this pain, a completely unfamiliar memory suddenly emerged in her mind.
