Chapter 652: Chapter 312: You Are the Daughter of the Ancient Divine Phoenix

Midnight.

Cheng Mansion.

Qinghe City has always been governed by both the Cheng Family and the Li Family.

In this generation, the heads of the two families are married, making the relationship between them even closer.

Li Qinghe has passed away suddenly, and during the day, the Cheng family’s members went to the Li Family to help receive various guests coming to pay their respects.

At this moment, only a few dozen guards remain in Cheng Mansion.

These guards are patrolling in turns around the patriarch’s residence.

Since the Cheng Family Patriarch, Cheng Yu, has been in seclusion for several years, this place needs the most protection in the entire Cheng family.

In the darkness, only the footsteps of the guards are heard, adding a sense of desolation to the quiet Cheng Mansion.

"Senior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo, with so many guards, perhaps we should give up?"

"Yes, yes, if we’re discovered, it will be really awkward."

Inside a Concealment Array, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er looked at the patrolling guards outside, retracting their heads, trying to persuade Qin Gengyun and the others to give up their plan to sneak in.

"Wife, do you think Chen Qingmo is really hiding here?"

Qin Gengyun ignored the pale faces of Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, turning his head to ask Qiu Zhihe.

Qiu Zhihe shook her head: "There is an Array outside the residence, I cannot sense the situation inside."

Su Xin clenched her fists slightly, a little nervous, while Wei Wan gently held her hand:

"Sister, don’t worry, this is already the second time."

Su Xin nodded. Her nervousness wasn’t because she feared the guards, but because of that so-called "Righteous Path" line in her heart bothering her.

As a righteous cultivator, one should naturally act noble and upright. She had never done things like opening a dead person’s coffin or breaking into someone else’s mansion at night before.

Unexpectedly, she did both twice tonight, which was indeed too thrilling for her.

"Coo coo!"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden glared fiercely at the patriarch’s residence, eager and ready.

The Black Phoenix concerns the Celestial Phoenix Mountain, she wished to uncover its secrets early.

Qin Gengyun turned back and glanced at her, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was startled, realizing she had already reverted to human form, yet she still habitually chirped like a bird.

I’m the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, how can I degenerate into being a bird for life?

"Coo!" Her face flushed with anger, and she chirped again.

Qiu Zhihe said to Wei Wan, "I maintain the Concealment Array, can you break the Array in the residence?"

Wei Wan’s face showed a proud expression: "My Array skills may not be as good as yours, but I have no problem breaking such a rudimentary Array."

Qiu Zhihe looked at her and nodded.

Continuing to maintain the Concealment Array, the group took advantage of the gap between the alternating guard patrols and reached the door of the patriarch’s residence.

Wei Wan waved her hands, intricate lines flying out, adhering to the Array surrounding the residence, and she chuckled softly:

"A Third-Grade Protective Array, a Third-Grade Warning Array, who can it fend off?"

Zhou Ling’Er pulled at Xu Caihe, whispering, "Why does it seem like Senior Sister Wei is talking more than before?"

Xu Caihe nodded, "And she’s smiling more too."

"Could it be she’s partnered with someone, basked in the nourishment of love?"

"I don’t think so. Look at Junior Sister Ruo being doted on by Senior Brother He every day, yet she still maintains a cold face. Ah, Junior Sister Ruo, I was wrong!"

Amidst the cries of the two chatterboxes, Wei Wan broke the Array in front of the patriarch’s residence, allowing the group to enter swiftly and close the door behind them before the guards returned.

Wei Wan then redrew the same Array as before, the guards passing by the residence door without the slightest awareness.

"Sister Wei’s Array skills have become even more adept."

Su Xin couldn’t help but praise, and Wei Wan smiled:

"Sister’s medical cultivation skills are also beyond my reach."

Su Xin sighed, "It’s a pity that a healer cannot heal oneself."

As they conversed, the group had already arrived in front of the main house within the residence.

Everyone fell into silence, looking at the two vermillion doors of the main house.

If Chen Qingmo is secluded inside the residence, he should be in there.

Qin Gengyun turned back to the women, signaling for everyone to prepare, then he put his hands on the door and pushed with force.

There was no expected resistance, the vermillion doors opened with a sound, revealing the scene inside the house.

It was a very spacious bedroom, with screens embroidered with small riverside bridges, exquisite tables and chairs, tea sets, a bed with hanging muslin curtains, all sorts of exquisite and luxurious furnishings, everything in place.

Except.

No one was inside.

The group entered the room, searching around, though it wasn’t necessary as Qin Gengyun’s Divine Sense had already scanned the surroundings. He shook his head:

"Chen Qingmo isn’t here."

Qiu Zhihe seemed unsurprised, calmly stating, "He’s probably escaped with the Black Phoenix."

Su Xin bit her red lips lightly: "Could the Sect Leader truly... be a villain?"

...

"I am the daughter of Chen Qingmo and Li Qinghe, I am not a daughter of a Demonic Beast!"

"You lie! I’ll kill you all!"

With a rumble of thunder and lightning, heavy rain soon poured from the sky.

In a mountain forest outside Qinghe City, Cheng Qingyu was frantically swinging the Emerald Immortal Sword, causing the surrounding peaks to collapse, the forest being leveled patch by patch.

Rain fell on Cheng Qingyu, with black energy swirling in her eyes and black flames faintly flickering on her body.

But she was oblivious to it, only knowing to scream hoarsely:

"Li Qinghe, I hate you! You died without telling me anything, you’re just a coward!"

"Father, Father, where are you? Come out and tell me, what’s really going on?!"

"Qingyun."

Suddenly, a familiar voice emerged, causing Cheng Qingyu to tremble and slowly turn around, her face lighting up with joy as she ran into the man’s arms.

This man was handsome, with an elegant temperament, yet his age was indiscernible, and the surrounding rain and mud didn’t touch him at all.

Even Cheng Qingyu, who rushed into his embrace, became dry and tidy in an instant.

The man lowered his head, gently stroking Cheng Qingyu’s head, his voice filled with a bewitching magnetism:

"Daughter, you should feel proud."

"Proud?"

Cheng Qingyu looked up at her father, who was also the Patriarch of the Cheng Family in Qinghe City and Sect Leader of the Zhenyang Sect.

Chen Qingmo.

"Yes."

Chen Qingmo embraced Cheng Qingyu, speaking softly:

"Your mother is an Ancient Divine Phoenix, you bear the bloodline of the Phoenix Race, with Divine Phoenix blood running through your veins. Few in this world have a nobler bloodline than you, you should naturally be proud."

Cheng Qingyu stared blankly at Chen Qingmo: "Father, are you telling the truth?"

Chen Qingmo smiled and nodded, Cheng Qingyu asked again: "What about Li Qinghe then?"

Chen Qingmo’s face showed disdain: "Li Qinghe died twenty years ago, your mother merely borrowed her body. Otherwise, how could a woman of such poor caliber be worthy of me?"

"Daughter, you’ve inherited the bloodlines of both me and the Ancient Divine Phoenix. You will certainly be the first to ascend in five hundred years, why yield to despair and grief?"

Chen Qingmo’s voice was filled with enchantment, the confusion and sorrow on Cheng Qingyu’s face faded, finally revealing a smile:

"Father, daughter understands! Daughter will surely vanquish all worldly enemies and ascend to immortality!"

Chen Qingmo smiled and said: "Qingyun, Father wants you to do something."

"Father, just say it, even ten tasks are manageable for me!"

"At the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, you must rank in the top three, enter the Immortal Flying Pavilion, obtain the Soul Supplement Seal, and then... bring Su Xin, Wei Wan, and Ruo Mei before me."
