The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The deeper into the Eastern Region, the more chaotic the world became.

The clouds were dyed blood red by the demonic aura, and there was no difference between day and night.

Among the eerie ghostly mountains, the lights of three flying swords passed from west to east.

Wearing a bamboo hat, Ye Anping flew the sword in front while holding a map he drew himself, and he looked up at the Seven Star Pass in the south.

It had been seven days since he brought Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin out of the cave mansion in the canyon outside Brilliance City.

During these seven days, they did not stop for a single moment. They followed the barren mountains along the border, where only a few demonic cultivators dwelled, and rushed toward the Heartbreak Palace in the south of the Eastern Region. 

As for the reason for going to the Heartbreak Palace, it was because Mo Chi Ling was hiding there.

The immortals besieged the demonic cultivators in the Eastern Region from three sides, and the most important thing was information. Although Ye Anping remembered the complete map of the Eastern Region, and he was accompanied by Xiao Tian and Xue'e, the battle situation was changing rapidly.

After all, he didn't have the third eye, so he couldn't know what kind of traps the demonic cultivators would set up in what place on any given day.

Moreover, Brother Liang's black market connections were useless in the Eastern Region. Sister Gu was an eccentric person, and it was even more impossible for her to be familiar with the intelligence dealers in the demonic cultivators' black market.

Therefore, the information about Mo Chi Ling was particularly critical for the immortal cultivators.

However, when thinking of Mo Chi Ling, Ye Anping remembered what Feng Yu Die did to her in the game, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

Feng Yu Die had been peeking at Ye Anping's back, and when she saw him turn his head, she seemed a little embarrassed and smiled. "Young Master Ye, what's wrong?"

"..."

In the game, although the process was a little complicated, in terms of the result, it was similar to the case of Miss Lingzhi of the Bright Star Sect:

—Feng Yu Die seduced Mo Chi Ling.

However, that was Feng Yu Die in the game.

The Feng Yu Die in the game would not look at a man and blush shyly or even avoid his gaze but would meet his eyes directly and draw her sword to cut his balls.

Ye Anping pinched his nose bridge. He saw a crescent-shaped mountain about ten miles ahead and said, "We're going to rest for two hours up ahead and then continue on the road. If I remember correctly, there should be an ancient sword tomb there. It happens that you are short of a spiritual sword, so I'll go and get it."

Xue'e, who was sitting on Ye Anping's left shoulder, looked at the mountain. "I think the Heavenly Demonic Scroll also recorded it, yes..."

Before Xue'e finished speaking, Xiao Tian, who was sitting on Ye Anping's right shoulder, immediately took out the Heavenly Dao Scroll from her skirt and continued.

"Anping, it was left there by a Moon Spirit Sect Sword cultivator named 'Shen Xin'. It is said that every time he killed a demonic cultivator, he would insert the demonic cultivator's magic weapon or spiritual sword into the mountain…"

Xue'e quickly took over the words and hugged her chest. "He wanted to kill the demonic cultivators to overcome his inner demons, but he didn't make it. After killing more than one thousand and seven hundred demons, he died there due to the accumulated demonic energy and injuries over the years, and his sword was left there."

After that, Xue'e slightly raised her head and pursed her lips, glanced at Xiao Tian, and said sarcastically, "You didn't even memorize the contents of the scroll, and you still have to flip through it. Isn't it embarrassing? Ye Anping, do you regret writing your name on the Heavenly Dao Scroll now?"

Xiao Tian lowered her head aggrievedly and poked her thumbs, but after thinking for a while, she retorted. "Anyway, for Anping, both the Heavenly Dao Scroll and the Heavenly Demonic Scroll are useless! Anping knows everything..."

Ye Anping, who was sandwiched between the two little ones, felt very tired at the moment. He raised his hands and knocked their heads. "Xue'e, don't quarrel. And you, Xiao Tian… you should also memorize the things written in the Heavenly Dao Scroll. What if you encounter something that doesn't give you time to flip through it?"

"Oh..."

Xiao Tian nodded, simply flipped the Heavenly Dao Scroll back to the first page, and started to memorize it in earnest.

Xue'e looked at her as if she were a fool and wanted to mock her a little more, but since Ye Anping had warned her, she held back.

However, looking at the sword mark above Xiao Tian's left eye, Xue'e was curious and couldn't help asking, "Ye Anping, how did this golden fool get that wound on her eye?"

Ye Anping replied calmly, "...My sister cut her."

?

"...Eh?!"

"Why? You want to try it too?"

Xue'e remained silent. She remembered how that "Liang Xiaoxue" at the Eastern Wall cut off her Mingxin's hand and froze Ah Mang with her sword. She suddenly felt a little fear in her heart.

"Can your sister see this golden fool?"

"No."

Xiao Tian raised her head and said proudly, "Hmph! Anping, let Sister Pei have a go at her too when you go back."

Ye Anping shook his head, pinched Xiao Tian's face, and did not continue chatting with them. He slowed down his flying sword and landed on the crescent mountainside according to the route he remembered.

Gusts of wind blew in the forest as if something unclean was hiding in it.

The three of them entered a withered forest on the mountainside. After walking about five hundred steps along the foggy path, they arrived at a cave with countless ancient sword marks carved on the rock wall. 

Ye Anping sat cross-legged at the entrance and sent his spiritual sense into the cave to make sure it was safe, while Feng Yu Die went into the forest to cut some branches to make a fire.

Gu Mingxin squatted beside Ye Anping, propping her cheeks with both hands and smiling sweetly. Seeing Feng Yu Die walking into the forest, she asked, "It's time to take a break. We've been flying for seven days..."

?

Ye Anping, who had checked the situation in the cave, shuddered when he heard this. He withdrew his spiritual sense and opened his eyes, only to see Gu Mingxin licking her lips with the tip of her tongue as if giving him a hint.

"Sister Gu..." 

Hearing Ye Anping's tone, Gu Mingxin knew what he was going to say. She reached out and drew a circle on Ye Anping's chest, then narrowed her eyes. "Why do you look like a chaste girl? Don't men need female companions to relieve themselves when they are out? You obviously enjoyed it last time. If you like it, just say it. I like it too..." 

"..." 

Seeing that Feng Yu Die was not there, and Xiao Tian and Xue'e were sitting on a rock close by, she whispered, "If you care about that white fool, I will accompany you into the cave later, and then… you can do whatever you want to me~ Hehe..." 

"..." 

Ye Anping somehow wanted to say "You are so naughty", but in the end, he didn't say it out loud. Not to mention that it would be bad for Feng Yu Die, he also didn't prepare a wheelchair in his storage bag when he left. 

Keeping silent, Ye Anping ignored Gu Mingxin's flirting as he stood up and said without expression, "Xiao Tian." 

"Hey!!" Xiao Tian, who was sitting on a stone next to him reading the scroll, jumped over immediately upon hearing this. "Anping, did you call me..."

"Come with me inside to fetch the sword. Sister Gu, you and Sister Feng guard outside the cave."

Without giving Gu Mingxin a chance to speak, Ye Anping walked directly into the stone cave full of sword marks, with Xiao Tian sitting on top of his head.

Xiao Tian was covered in Heavenly Dao spiritual energy, golden in color. With her, he didn't need to use any other light; she alone could illuminate a ten-foot area. 

Seeing Ye Anping walk in, Gu Mingxin puffed up her cheeks and pouted in dissatisfaction. "Tsk..."

Xue'e flew over and patted her head to comfort her. "Mingxin, Ye Anping is an immortal cultivator, and his personality is very composed. If you say that directly, he will not agree. You should be a little more reserved. I think Ye Anping would like a shy girl more..."

Gu Mingxin pursed her lips and added, "...and silly girl."

Tap tap—

Feng Yu Die came back with a pile of firewood. Seeing that Xiao Tian and Ye Anping were not there, the alertness in her eyes increased as she threw the firewood in her arms aside, and prepared to follow them inside.

But before she rushed in, Gu Mingxin said with disdain, "Ye Anping asked me to wait outside with you. Don't go in."

"..."

Feng Yu Die stopped, looked back at her and Xue'e, and hesitated. Then, she walked back without any intention of talking to her, found a place to sit down, closed her eyes, and started condensing her energy.

Gu Mingxin didn't want to talk to her either. She walked to the firewood brought back, set up a bonfire, ignited it with a talisman, and sat cross-legged to gather her energy.

Blood-red clouds blocked out the sun from the sky as cold wind blew at the entrance of the cave, and the crackling sound of the campfire was the only sound heard.

About two-quarters of an hour later, footsteps came from the cave.

Ye Anping carried Xiao Tian and came out with a frown. However, he went in empty-handed and came out also empty-handed.

Hearing the footsteps, Feng Yu Die snapped out of her meditation and turned to look. "Young Master Ye..."

But seeing Ye Anping frowning, her words stopped abruptly.

Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die, exhaled lightly, and sat down next to the campfire. He took out a marinated roasted chicken from the storage bag, placing it next to the campfire, then propped his chin and thought.

He remembered clearly that there should be a good spiritual sword here, and judging from the appearance of the cave entrance, he did not come to the wrong place.

But it seemed that someone got there first.

Some of the mechanisms and restrictions that should have been in the cave were disabled, and when he went to the deepest part, the place where the spiritual sword should have been inserted was empty.

This was not the game, and the opportunity was waiting for the destined person, not the protagonist and the player.

It was not difficult to understand that someone else got there first.

Actually, he came here to get the sword because it was on his way. There were thousands of good swords in the four regions, and the thousand-year-old Black Stone Sword that Brother Liang stole from Xiao Yunluo was still in Brother Liang's bag.

However, it was still very frustrating.

Ye Anping decided to ask Mo Chi Ling who took Shen Xin's Erosion Demon Sword after meeting her.

Although Erosion Demon was not as good as the spiritual sword inherited from Immortal Yun Jian, it was left by an immortal Sword cultivator who once made the demonic cultivators cower in fear. If it appeared in the world, it was impossible not to be any news at all.

"Master Ye, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it just seems that someone got there first..."

"Anping, it's okay. At worst we can go to another place, there are many opportunities in the Eastern Region."

Ye Anping did not speak. Seeing that the roasted chicken was beginning to ooze oil, he poked it with his finger, then took it off and handed it to Feng Yu Die. "Here."

"Hmm..." Feng Yu Die smiled shyly, holding the roast chicken in both hands. "Young Master Ye, do you want to eat the chicken legs? I'll save them for you..."

Although Ye Anping did not want to eat it, he still answered. "Just leave one."

"Okay... hehe..."

Gu Mingxin, who was sitting on the other side, looked at them with a pout. She felt that Feng Yu Die was like a stupid daughter that she and Ye Anping had, so she didn't mind and closed her eyes to meditate.

The three of them rested for an hour by the campfire, then stepped on their flying swords again and continued to head toward the Heartbreak Palace as planned.

… … 

Black clouds pressed down on the forest, and willow catkins with a little purple spiritual light flew everywhere.

In the willow forest behind the Heartbreak Palace, a man wearing a ghost mask was pushing a woman wrapped in bandages in a wheelchair, walking through the forest.

The woman was wearing a purple dress that covered her whole body tightly but couldn't hide her perfect figure.

Mo Chi Ling closed her eyes, sniffed the fragrance of flowers and plants in the forest, and asked, "Where has Sister Gu been these days?" 

The man pushing the wheelchair replied, "She went to Brilliance City and was captured by the Young Master of the Kong family." 

Mo Chi Ling's eyes froze when she heard this. "Don't stop halfway. Tell me, what happened next?" 

"After that, she made a big fuss in the city and helped the sects of the Western Region to capture the city with almost no casualties." 

"Really…" 

Mo Chi Ling lowered her eyes, thinking for a while, then said, "Then, the Young Master of the Kong family who captured her at that time was most likely Ye Anping... I asked you to check a few days ago, did you find anything?" 

"I did check, but..." The man's tone was a little heavy, and he hesitated for a while. 

Then, he continued, "Before he formed his Heavenly Dao Golden Core, there was nothing special. From what I heard, it was like that person suddenly soared into the sky without any signs, and I didn't hear that he got any great opportunity."

"So... Ever since I picked up Sister Gu, I heard her praising that person all the time. I didn't pay much attention to him, but now it seems that this Ye Anping should not be underestimated."

The man nodded slightly. "Milady, are you going to meet him?"

"What do you think?"

"We should wait and see. I can't figure out this Ye Anping's thoughts. Who knows if he has any bad intentions toward you. Besides, he is an immortal cultivator, and you, Milady, are a demonic cultivator..."

"I don't care about these. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. From the perspective of the immortals, if they want to kill my master, and I also want to chop my master into pieces, we have the same purpose. "

Mo Chi Ling sighed lightly and looked up at the sky. "I am also very curious about what kind of man Sister Gu talks about day and night."

The man pushing the wheelchair was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement. "Then, I will go and make preparations now."

"Fine... He should have just come out of Brilliance City by now, so tell him to meet at the Demon Mountain..."

Just as Mo Chi Ling was making arrangements, a black mist floated down from the sky, and another man wearing a ghost mask emerged from the mist and bowed. "Milady."

"What's the matter?"

"Gu Mingxin brought two people to the Heartbreak Palace. The two people look like two immortals, one male and one female. The female has silver hair and the male is very handsome..."

Handsome...

Mo Chi Ling was stunned for a moment, but then frowned and looked up at the man behind her. "Who told Sister Gu the location of my Heartbreak Palace?"

"Milady, we all followed your arrangements and did not tell her anything about the palace."

"Then, how did she know..."

Mo Chi Ling was a little intrigued, and at the same time, a trace of fear arose in her heart. After she escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect hundreds of years ago, she had been hiding from Yu Yan, fearing that he would find her.

Therefore, the only people who knew the location of her Heartbreak Palace were only a few of her close friends.

These people were once like her, poisoned by Yu Yan to varying degrees, but due to their cultivation level and their abilities, they survived.

Heartbreak Palace was established by her as a base to kill Yu Yan.

But now, if Gu Mingxin could find it, how could Yu Yan not find it?

Mo Chi Ling was silent for a long time, and then she said, "Take them to the main hall. I will change my clothes and go there."

"Yes, Milady."
