1769 Trash!

　　But at this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly spread out from behind Chu Liuyue!

　　She was shocked and suddenly realized something.

　　A pair of iron arms suddenly wrapped around her waist. The cold fragrance, mixed with the faint bitter medicinal fragrance, enveloped her silently.

　　Chu Liuyue’s tense mind instantly relaxed. She turned around and saw that Rong Xiu had already arrived behind her.

　　She looked up at Rong Xiu steadily and was slightly taken aback.

　　There was no sign of exhaustion on that handsome and devilish face. His phoenix eyes were deep and his eyebrows relaxed.

　　“You…” Chu Liuyue was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say. It is extremely difficult to help a great phoenix dragon reconstruct its body. However, Rong Xiu doesn’t seem to be affected at all.

　　For a moment, a thought even appeared in her mind. To Rong Xiu, this seems to be a small matter.

　　Seeing that she was in a daze, Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly. He then lowered his head slightly and kissed her between her eyebrows, his eyes filled with love. “Thank you, Yue’er.”

　　Although he had been busy there, he knew everything that had happened here.

　　Chu Liuyue subconsciously shook her head. “You’re my man. Of course, it’s up to me to protect you.”

　　When Rong Xiu heard this, a faint light flashed across his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened. Then, he hugged her slender waist tightly, almost wanting to rub her into his bones.

　　Thump!

　　A loud crash came from behind.

　　It was the great phoenix dragon that swung its broken tail fiercely, but it collided with a reddish-gold barrier!

　　On the barrier, light flowed, and the pressure was illustrious! It easily blocked the broken tail outside without even causing a ripple!

　　Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat as she looked over Rong Xiu’s shoulder.

　　A tall and burly figure had appeared beside the lake.

　　It was a man who looked to be in his 40s. He wore a black brocade robe and had a square face. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

　　An indescribably powerful aura exuded from his body! The only shortcoming was that the positions of the two arms were empty. That was because the two wing bones on this skeleton had already fused into Zi Chen’s body.

　　But even though he was only standing there, his pressure didn’t decrease at all!

　　Some people were destined to be the most noble and powerful existences. Miao Zhen was such a person!

　　Just this aura alone was more imposing than Miao Yang’s!

　　At this moment, she suddenly understood why Miao Yang had such deep hatred for Miao Zhen back then. He had used all kinds of methods to get rid of him at all costs.

　　With such a person around, there would never be a day when he would stand out!

　　Unfortunately, Miao Yang was still one step behind. He never would’ve thought that Miao Zhen—whom he thought had been resolved long ago—was actually still alive!

　　At this moment, after being stopped by the barrier, the great phoenix dragon also looked over unwillingly!

　　But after seeing the figure standing there, the great phoenix dragon suddenly stopped!

　　Miao Zhen laughed and shouted energetically, “Miao Yang, it’s been a long time! How have you been?”

　　…

　　Miao Yang was shocked and took a few steps back uncontrollably. He widened his eyes and stared at the coiling dragon pillar in front of him in disbelief!

　　As soon as he fell into chaos, the other elders couldn’t help but be affected. The entire Demon Slaying Formation swayed unsteadily.

　　The elders also heard that voice. Looking at Miao Yang’s extremely strange reaction, they were filled with doubts. “Who… Who’s talking? It doesn’t sound like Rong Xiu and Shangguan Yue.”

　　More importantly, that person had directly called out the name of the clan leader, Miao Yang, and said: How have you been?

　　Is it someone the clan leader used to know then? Moreover, Miao Yang seemed to know the other party’s identity the moment he heard that voice.

　　Just as everyone was confused, Miao Fushan’s expression suddenly changed. “This voice—could it be… Miao Zhen!?”

　　He spoke the last two words very softly, but in the quiet hall, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone’s hearts!

　　Miao Zhen—it had been too many years since anyone had mentioned that name. That was the humiliation of the great phoenix dragon clan and their taboo.

　　They had almost forgotten this person existed. Now that Miao Fushan suddenly mentioned him, they suddenly remembered the person who was once extremely talented and finally ferocious and crazy.

　　Almost one-third of the people present had never seen Miao Zhen. However, they were also familiar with that name.

　　At this moment, as soon as this name sounded, everyone fell into an even colder silence.

　　In fact, the entire great phoenix dragon clan had never forgotten this name—this person!

　　After a long while, an elder asked in a trembling voice, “…How… is that possible!?”

　　Isn’t Miao Zhen already dead, and he died a thousand years ago!? Why did he suddenly appear again and in the coiling dragon pillar?!

　　Nobody spoke. They all knew in their hearts that no matter how impossible this sounded, Miao Fushan and Miao Yang’s reactions had already surpassed thousands of words!

　　The person talking inside was definitely Miao Zhen!

　　Miao Yang’s mind went blank. His ears buzzed, and his entire body turned cold. Miao Zhen…

　　The moment he heard that voice, he knew the other party’s identity! How is he still alive… How is he still alive!?

　　Miao Yang suddenly came back to his senses and abruptly raised his head. He stared at the coiling dragon pillar with a stubborn and crazy expression.

　　At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Could it be that Miao Zhen has been hiding here for the past thousand years—

　　Rumble!

　　The coiling dragon pillar suddenly shone! The dragon carved on it seemed to have come to life, and its scales flickered with light!

　　At a glance, it was lifelike as if it would fly up from the coiling dragon pillar at any moment!

　　Miao Yang’s heart sank!

　　He opened his mouth and was about to order everyone to gather again when an incomparably powerful pressure erupted from the dragon’s body! Then, a terrifying power rushed over!

　　Miao Yang knew that something was wrong. He was about to retreat, but it was too late!

　　Thump!

　　The door of the holy hall suddenly broke open!

　　A strong wind blew and overturned Miao Yang! His body instantly flew out uncontrollably and fell outside the door!

　　“Shoo!”

　　As if something had ruthlessly crushed his body, his chest trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably!

　　Almost at the same time, a purple-gold light rushed out of the coiling dragon pillar!

　　A tall and burly figure stood not far from Miao Yang and laughed. “Miao Yang, it’s been a thousand years! I thought you had made some progress, but it turns out that you’re still as useless as before!”

　　Everyone waiting in the square was stunned when they saw this scene. This… What is going on?!
