"How did you know the Crimson Phoenix Sword contained the Crimson Phoenix Essence?" Qing Huo asked Xu Ping’an incredulously.
She could not fathom how her own weapon, containing the Crimson Phoenix Essence, was sothing she was unaware of.
Yet, the young man before her had managed to use the Chaotic Fla to ignite it.
The notion was utterly inconceivable.
Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly, "Why should I tell you? You have yet to answer my question."
Qing Huo clenched her teeth in anger.
Now she understood that from the start, the young man had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Claiming that his elixirs were depleting too quickly had been a pure lie.
Soone protected by the Chaotic Fla wouldn’t fear the power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade Cold Pool in the least.
This guy had been deceiving her for her elixirs all along.
"Fine, I can answer your question, but you must also answer mine," Qing Huo stated.
"Agreed, let’s take turns; one question each. I asked first, so you answer first," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qing Huo inwardly gritted her teeth, resenting his unwillingness to suffer a loss even slightly.
"Alright, I’ll answer your question. Yes, I am Qing Huo, the Immortal Emperor. However, a powerful adversary gravely wounded , forcing to use our Phoenix Clan’s Rebirth Technique to start anew. My current Cultivation is only at the Tenth Rank of the Fifth Layer Realm," Qing Huo responded.
"Powerful adversary? Who?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"That’s a second question. Answer mine first. Who are you, really?" Qing Huo pressed.
"My na is Xu Ping’an, a First Rank mortal from the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.
Qing Huo frowned; clearly, she was dissatisfied with this answer.
However, why did the na sound familiar to her, as if she had heard it sowhere before?
"A mortal? How could you know about ?" Qing Huo asked, unwilling to let it go.
"I have told you the truth. As for how I know your true identity, that is my secret," Xu Ping’an replied.
"Now it’s my turn to ask the second question. This Formation and the Crimson Phoenix Sword, where did they co from? If I recall correctly, shouldn’t these belong to Ling Qingyao from the Heavenly Spirit Realm?" Xu Ping’an spoke.
"Ling Qingyao?" Qing Huo’s eyes lit up, surprised as she looked at Xu Ping’an.
"Are you one of Ling Qingyao’s people? No, that can’t be right. If you were, you wouldn’t be addressing her by na directly. Very few in this world can do so. I think I might be able to guess who you are," Qing Huo said, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Xu Ping’an smiled faintly, not surprised by Qing Huo’s speculation.
Given Qing Huo’s knowledge, it would be foolish if she could not guess.
"I also know where you got these items from. You stole them from the Immortal Hall in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, didn’t you? And the person who wounded you was probably Ling Qingyao," Xu Ping’an said with a chuckle.
"You are indeed him," Qing Huo affird.
Now she seed to understand how the other party knew about the Crimson Phoenix Essence within the sword.
Because the sword had been refined by him.
Xu Ping’an smiled and remained silent.
"You truly didn’t die, ha! Ling Qingyao must never have dread that you were still alive," Qing Huo suddenly burst into laughter, seeming to take great pleasure in this revelation.
"You seem quite pleased, but you’ve mistaken for soone else. I’m not who you think I am," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
"Stop pretending. Rest assured, I won’t reveal your secret to Ling Qingyao. She’s my enemy too, and I’d love nothing more than to see you two fight each other to death," Qing Huo said triumphantly, as if she had heard the best news imaginable.
"If Ji Ling knew you were here, why didn’t she co herself to kill you?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Hmph, she knows she can’t kill . Her coming here today was simply to force to hand over sothing," Qing Huo retorted coldly.
"Sothing? It seems like what you stole from the Immortal Hall in the Heavenly Spirit Realm wasn’t limited to these items. There’s sothing even more crucial that Ling Qingyao needs," Xu Ping’an surmised with a laugh.
"Haha, you really do understand Ling Qingyao. Yes, indeed, I did take sothing of great significance to Ling Qingyao years ago, which is why she has never ceased in her pursuit to kill ." Qing Huo snorted coldly, her eyes revealing a murderous intent.
"What object is it? If I’m not mistaken, Ling Qingyao must have already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm. What could be so important that she would value it to this extent?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"You really know quite a bit. It is very likely that Ling Qingyao has entered the Immortal Emperor Realm; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to easily kill . As for that thing I stole, it originally belonged to our Phoenix Clan. I was rely reclaiming our Phoenix Clan’s property." Qing Huo said with a cold snort.
The Phoenix Clan’s property?
Xu Ping’an struggled to recall mories from his past life, but he couldn’t rember what it could possibly be.
Perhaps Ling Qingyao obtained it after his death.
"So, back to our topic, do you still want to kill ?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.
He wasn’t afraid of Qing Huo now.
Qing Huo was gravely injured, her power reduced to less than one tenth.
With a treasure in hand, he might have a chance in a fight.
"Even if I wanted to kill you, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be possible, would it?" Qing Huo said with a cold snort.
Now that she knew the identity of the person before her, she realized that she couldn’t kill him.
With his past life’s identity, how could such a powerful figure be easily slain?
Hearing her words, Xu Ping’an gave a slight smile and then prepared to leave.
Qing Huo couldn’t kill him, and he couldn’t kill Qing Huo either.
Being the empress of the Phoenix Clan wasn’t so easily done away with.
"Wait a mont." However, Qing Huo suddenly called out to Xu Ping’an.
"Is there sothing else?" Xu Ping’an turned and asked.
"I need your Chaotic Fla, na your price." Qing Huo said.
The Long Yan Lamp had already been taken by Xu Ping’an, and her injuries were not yet healed; she still needed healing.
The effect of the Chaotic Fla was much stronger than the power of the Long Yan from the Long Yan Lamp. It would greatly help in healing her injuries and also significantly aid in the recovery of her cultivation.
That’s why she absolutely had to obtain the Chaotic Fla.
Xu Ping’an wasn’t surprised to hear this; Qing Huo’s cultivation technique was special, requiring strong fire attribute energy as well as ice cold power.
After the Divine Fire, the Chaotic Fla was the next most powerful fla.
So, how could Qing Huo possibly give up easily?
"What do you think you have that could be exchanged with ?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
"How about this, I beco your woman, give myself to you, and you use the Chaotic Fla to help in my cultivation, how about that?" Qing Huo suddenly said with a flirtatious smile.
"Cough cough!"
Xu Ping’an suddenly choked.
This person really dared to say anything?
"What, you’re not willing? I am the empress of the Phoenix Clan, and although you were once the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Hall, you are but a mortal now. If I beco your woman, you wouldn’t be at a loss." Qing Huo retorted with a twist of her mouth.
Xu Ping’an smiled bitterly; this woman truly dared to speak.
"Let’s do this: you give the Immortal Emperor Seal that you carry, and I’ll use the Chaotic Fla to heal your injuries," Xu Ping’an proposed.
Qing Huo was shocked: "How do you know I have the Immortal Emperor Seal?"
Xu Ping’an offered no explanation but simply spoke coldly, "What do you say, are you willing?"
"Psh, I’m offering myself to you, and you don’t want it? Do I pale in comparison to Ling Qingyao?"
Qing Huo snorted and stepped toward Xu Ping’an, her figure seductively enticing.
