She simply applied invisibility and invulnerability talismans and flew close to the ground.
Without her companions, her speed increased significantly. In just a few breaths, she swept over several hilltops and could see a bright red flame burning in a valley in the distance.
The phoenix zither emitted a series of clear, mournful sounds, as if it were trying to emerge.
With a slight movement of her hand, Zhong Lingxin's Phoenix Harp transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight into the burning crimson flames.
The cultivators who were circling the bright red flames suddenly saw something flash before their eyes and seemed to fall into the flames.
They were shocked, but upon closer inspection, they saw nothing.
Some cultivators looked in the direction from which the light came, but saw nothing.
Zhong Lingxin was so frightened that she lay flat on the hillside, not daring to peek out or even breathe.
Dozens of Venerable Saints at the Tribulation Transcending stage gathered around the flames.
She's just a minor cultivator at the Integration stage; they can't even crush her with a single finger.
At the same time, she felt a surge of joy and a sense of urgency.
It's like meeting a long-lost friend and wanting to see for yourself how she's doing.
She knew that this was Phoenix Harp's idea.
After a long time, the cultivators who were outside the flames withdrew their divine senses and turned their attention back to the flames.
Slowly, bit by bit, Zhong Lingxin used the force of the wind to move away from her original spot and back away quite a distance.
She sensed the Phoenix Harp moving through the flames, heading towards the underground.
Moreover, Phoenix Harp sent her a message telling her to stay away, even further away.
Although Zhong Lingxin didn't understand the reason, she knew that the Phoenix Harp wouldn't harm her, so she just did as she was told.
At the same time, she sensed that the Phoenix Harp was becoming more urgent, as if something was about to happen.
Zhong Lingxin's feeling was correct. Underground, a phoenix egg was being entangled by several fire snakes, which were tightening their grip and the egg was struggling weaker and weaker.
Following the scent of the phoenix egg, Phoenix Harp rapidly descended, enduring the scorching pain of the flames, and resolutely continued its descent.
From afar, she saw the phoenix egg that was entangled.
Without hesitation, she rang out a few times, and the fire snake coiled around the phoenix egg was attacked, causing its coils to loosen slightly.
Taking advantage of the moment, the phoenix egg struggled violently, overturning the two fire snakes, which rolled around in the flames.
The rolling force caused the two fire snakes to soften their bodies and fall out of the phoenix egg.
The phoenix egg can finally breathe.
It inhaled a mouthful of flames and then exhaled them.
The other fire snakes that were wrapped around it all fell down.
The phoenix egg rolled over again and landed next to the phoenix zither.
The phoenix zither played two clear, resonant notes.
The phoenix egg spun twice.
The zither and the egg were linked together and rushed rapidly into the flames.
Realizing what was happening, the fire serpent followed the phoenix egg and the phoenix zither, also darting underground.
Along the way, fire snakes would occasionally leap out to block the path of the phoenix egg and the phoenix harp, causing them to slow down and gradually become surrounded by the fire snakes.
The phoenix zither played its melodious tune once more.
This time, with each pluck of the Phoenix Harp, the consciousness of a fire serpent was pierced.
The phoenix egg leaped up and smashed down, killing the fire snake.
Like old friends who had worked together for many years, Yiqin and Dan quickly killed dozens of fire snakes and barely managed to advance another ten feet underground.
But there were just too many fire serpents, and the deeper you went underground, the bigger they became.
The zither and the egg were once again surrounded.
Soon, fire serpents coiled around the phoenix egg and the phoenix zither.
The phoenix egg bounced on the strings of the phoenix zither, desperately smashing towards the fire snake.
The Phoenix Harp, taking advantage of the phoenix egg's bounce, also produced a series of sonic blades that pierced the fire serpent's consciousness.
The zither and the egg struggled forward.
Zhong Lingxin sensed the difficulty the Phoenix Zither was facing and was extremely anxious.
She carefully sensed the location of the Phoenix Harp, threw out an array plate, summoned Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, and desperately dug a hole in the direction of the Phoenix Harp.
Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao knew the situation was urgent and cooperated extremely well.
One person dug in front, while the other filled in the soil behind, leaving Zhong Lingxin with only a place to stay, and they quickly dug into the ground.
Phoenix Harp sensed Xinxin's approach.
She moved in that direction without hesitation.
Seeing that Phoenix Harp had changed direction, Phoenix Egg, though feeling that the underground was better, followed suit out of trust for its companion.
One after another, the fire snakes gathered more and more, coiling together into a giant fire snake ball, rushing towards the phoenix egg and the phoenix zither.
Phoenix eggs are strong and can be smashed a few times.
The strings of the Phoenix Harp have been unable to produce a single sound blade for a very long time.
Two fiery snakes coiled around the Phoenix Harp, their large mouths biting the strings.
The phoenix zither let out a mournful cry.
Its strings were poisoned.
Zhong Lingxin felt a sense of panic.
Phoenix Harp, Xin Xin, you must hold on! I'm coming, I'm coming right away!
Huanhuan's little paws left afterimages as they swung.
The temperature underground was getting higher and higher, and its little paws were throbbing with pain from the heat.
Xiaoxiao, who was following behind, didn't bother to bury the soil anymore and rushed to the front to help Huanhuan dig the tunnel.
Zhong Lingxin herself placed the soil behind her.
The soil that Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao dug out was already red.
The mournful sound of the phoenix harp had become intermittent.
And the phoenix egg was covered in fire snakes again.
It pounced on the Phoenix Harp without hesitation, smashing the fire snakes that were biting it to death, and rolled its egg body vigorously to push the Phoenix Harp forward.
It felt the vibration over there.
It knew that it must be a friend of the Phoenix Harp who had arrived.
It doesn't matter if it dies; it can just be reborn again.
But the Phoenix Harp won't work.
Phoenix Harp has finally regained her senses; she must not fall into a deep sleep again.
One fiery serpent after another coiled around the phoenix egg, tightening its grip.
It gradually stopped rolling.
The phoenix egg absorbed the flames with all its might, and then spewed out flames.
But there were too many fire snakes; as soon as one was sprayed down, another would climb up.
It felt like it was being strangled...
This time, not only did it fail to rise from the ashes, it also ended up killing its old friend.
It was so unwilling!
Zhong Lingxin, who was digging deep into the ground with Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, had already put on her Nth set of ice-wind coats.
The intense heat caused her consciousness to darken in waves.
But she endured it, endured it, desperately endured it.
She was getting closer and closer to the Phoenix Harp.
Her divine sense had already seen the blackened strings of the Phoenix Harp, the two dead fire snakes on the strings, and a phoenix egg spinning on the Phoenix Harp, pulling one fire snake after another off the Phoenix Harp.
Phoenix Harp also sensed Zhong Lingxin's presence.
She cried out twice in a mournful voice: "Xin Xin, it hurts, it hurts so much! I'm going to die, I'm going to die from the pain!"
Zhong Lingxin was heartbroken and hurriedly comforted Fenghuangqin: "Xinxin, just bear with it, just bear with it, I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon!"
The powerless phoenix zither trembled twice on its strings.
