2458 What Do You Want?
Miao Zhen hurried over.

With his special status, he could enter and exit freely. But ever since he came to Fantasy Divine Palace, he had never stepped into the Fantasy Divine Hall—this was the first time today.

No one expected him to suddenly appear at this moment.

“Clan Leader Miao Zhen? What do you mean? You want to help them?” When he saw Miao Zhen, Yu Qian immediately snorted and questioned him.

Miao Zhen walked forward and quickly glanced around, taking in the situation of the entire hall.

When he saw Zi Chen and Tuan Zi’s injured appearances, he frowned imperceptibly. But soon, his expression returned to normal. “Second Deity, you’ve misunderstood. I’m here this time for the Divine Master.”

Yu Qian narrowed his eyes.

The Divine Master seemed a little interested. “Oh? What do you mean?”

Miao Zhen looked up and quickly glanced forward.

The Divine Master’s figure and appearance were blurry and difficult to distinguish, but… It could be confirmed that they were indeed the one who had appeared in the Red Moon Desert previously.

Who would’ve thought that it was actually the Divine Master of the Fantasy Divine Hall? And… Rong Xiu.

Miao Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed the many doubts in his heart. “Tuan Zi has already opened the eighth meridian and is only a step away from opening the ninth meridian. It’s a pity if she dies like this. The Divine Master should… also hope that Tuan Zi can open the ninth meridian, right?”

There was no doubt about that. Otherwise, those things in the Red Moon Desert would never have happened back then.

However, he didn’t know why this Divine Master was so anxious.

Tuan Zi had the purest bloodline. As long as everything went well, it was only a matter of time before she opened her ninth meridian. Why did he have to use such an intense method?

“She has a contract with Shangguan Yue, so she… I have to kill her!” The Divine Master’s voice sounded a little regretful, but more than that, there was a thick and immutable killing intent!

“Back then, Yi Ling betrayed the Fantasy Divine Hall and implicated the entire red-gold heavenly phoenix race, causing them to become a sinful race. Now, on the account that she has the purest bloodline, I’ve already given her a chance. Unfortunately… she didn’t cherish it.”

“Besides, Miao Zhen, don’t forget how the ancestor of the great phoenix dragons died back then. Aren’t you afraid of letting Miao Yu down by speaking up for her now?”

Miao Zhen’s heart trembled. “I…”

Many emotions welled up in his heart.

He looked at Tuan Zi with a complicated gaze.

Feeling his gaze, Tuan Zi looked over in a daze. Could it be that the death of the great phoenix dragon’s ancestor… was also related to what happened to Ancestor back then?

After a long time, Miao Zhen finally sighed and stopped talking.

Of course, he came this time to save Tuan Zi and Zi Chen.

On the one hand, they were all Chu Liuyue’s contracted fiends, and he still owed her a favor. On the other hand, he himself liked these two very much.

He really couldn’t sit back and watch them be killed.

Tuan Zi suddenly said, “Grandpa Miao Zhen, thank you, but this is my business. I’ll bear it myself!”

With that, she looked at Zi Chen and pursed her lips. “Zi Chen, these words are also for you to hear.”

Zi Chen frowned.

Hot tears fell from Tuan Zi’s eyes and dripped on the back of Zi Chen’s hand, almost scalding his heart.

“I want A’Yue to be fine, and I want you to be fine too.” Her voice was a little choked and hoarse, but it was unusually firm.

With Miao Zhen here, he could probably save Zi Chen’s life.

As for A’Yue, she was preparing to ascend to the heavens and become a deity. She would definitely be fine.

She sniffed and patted Zi Chen’s shoulder gently. “Zi Chen, put me down.”

Zi Chen didn’t move.

Tuan Zi stretched out her arm and hugged his neck. Then, she leaned over and rubbed her face against his neck. “…Zi Chen, I don’t want others to get hurt for me, let alone die for me.”

That would make her feel even worse.

Zi Chen’s body stiffened. After a long time, he finally leaned over and put her down.

Tuan Zi stood in front of him and tugged at his sleeves. She looked up at him with red eyes and reminded him patiently and seriously, “I’ll be back. You have to take good care of A’Yue during this period.”

Zi Chen looked at her deeply and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and wiped the tears off her face.

Tuan Zi let go.

When she turned around again, the tears on her small face had completely dissipated. In its place was an indomitable determination!

She took a step forward and stared intently ahead. She asked, “You want to kill me?”

“The descendant of a sinner should be killed!”

“Pfft…” Tuan Zi sneered.

It’s just an excuse. In any case, I don’t believe that my ancestor would betray their master. Only the people back then know the truth! What happened after that… are just rumors.

“It’s not impossible for you to kill me, but before that, I have another question!” Tuan Zi clenched her fists and stared intently at the blurry figure in front of her. Scenes of the past kept replaying in her mind.

She said word by word, “Do you want to kill me, or… do you want my bloodline power?!”

As soon as this question fell, the entire hall instantly fell silent!

The Divine Master didn’t answer her question and chose to attack!

Swoosh!

The black vines fused back into one and headed straight for Tuan Zi.
A look of determination flashed across Tuan Zi’s eyes.

Boom!

A wisp of crimson-gold flames suddenly burned and instantly covered her entire body!

Screech!

A clear and distant phoenix cry spread from Tuan Zi’s body!
