Ye Qingyao gave him some healing herbs, looking at him with worry, afraid that he might collapse at any moment. "First Senior Brother, look, we've come all this way to Phoenix Valley, and there are so many Phoenix here. Why don't we ask them for a few drops of Phoenix Tears to cure your poison, and then go reunite with our junior brothers and sisters..."
"I know my own body. I'm fine for now, and I can wait a couple of days for the detoxification. But my Junior Sister is so young, and she has no ability to protect herself in such a dangerous place. I can't wait a minute longer. I need to go find her right now!" Ye Qinghui didn't want to waste any time getting the antidote that was right in front of him. Instead, he was determined to go back and find Ye Zhenzhen.
Unexpectedly, the Space-Time Conversion Box had a cooldown period after being used once. After pressing the time-space knob, there was no change in time and space around them, and they were still in Phoenix Valley.
"Damn it!" Ye Qinghui was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
At the same time, a deafening dragon roar echoed through Phoenix Valley, a place like a paradise on earth. An Abyssal Demon Dragon, tens of meters long and covered in black scales, shattered the silence of the valley.
The Demon Dragon coiled in the sky, its massive body creating a howling wind that scattered leaves from the Phoenix Tree, scattering a golden carpet across the ground. It opened its blood-red maw, its ferocious head leaning towards two Phoenix perched on the nearest Phoenix Tree, its eyes filled with greed and desire.
Strange! Why are there Devil Creature in Divine Descent? And such high-level Devil Creature at that...?
Before Ye Qinghui and the others could react, the two Phoenix sensed a powerful and dangerous aura and simultaneously flew into the sky, their bodies transforming into crimson flames, unleashing a series of fire attacks at the Demon Dragon.
Phoenix Blaze are extremely powerful, capable of burning everything in an instant and causing massive damage to enemies.
However, the Demon Dragon seemed to have come prepared. It calmly opened its mouth, and an overwhelming Dragon Breath, mixed with Demon Water, instantly extinguished all of the Phoenix's flames.
The Demon Dragon roared to the sky, twisted its neck, and was about to swallow one of the smaller female Phoenix whole.
The other, larger male Phoenix quickly stepped in front of the female Phoenix, gathering all its energy to create a giant fireball in the air, aiming it at the Demon Dragon's ferocious face, attempting to block its fierce attack.
The Demon Dragon extinguished the fireball once again with its Dragon Breath and Demon Water, then bit down on one of the male Phoenix's wings, causing blood to gush out instantly.
The male Phoenix let out a sharp, painful scream, while the female Phoenix circled overhead, wailing mournfully.
Not good!
Seeing that the male Phoenix was about to be swallowed alive by the Demon Dragon, Ye Qinghui rushed forward and slashed the Demon Dragon's back with his Flowing Light Sword. Because the Flowing Light Sword contained the power of the Elder Dragon Crystal Stone, the Demon Dragon's body trembled, it roared in pain, and released its grip.
Taking advantage of the situation, the mother Phoenix pulled up the injured male Phoenix and quickly carried him away into the distance.
Upon discovering Ye Qinghui, this audacious human cultivator, the Demon Dragon roared furiously and sprayed its Demon Water at Ye Qinghui. This Demon Water could corrode all life force, and any cultivator who came into contact with it would be doomed.
However, Ye Qinghui was agile and nimbly dodged its attacks time and time again, and even used the Flowing Light Sword to sneak attack its tail. The Demon Dragon's entire body was covered with thick scales, making it extremely defensive, except for a soft spot on its tail. Once pierced, it instantly gushed out gurgling dark green blood, which smelled foul and made people want to vomit.
Enraged, the Demon Dragon twisted its body, attacking Ye Qinghui with its demonic claws and Demon Water, determined to crush this arrogant Mortal World cultivator into dust.
After settling the male Phoenix in a safe place, the female Phoenix quickly led her army of dozens of Phoenix back to help Ye Qinghui. Seeing that the Demon Dragon's tail was injured, the female Phoenix rallied all the Phoenix to gather their strength and unleash a devastating Phoenix Nirvana Flame at the wound on the Demon Dragon's tail.
The Nirvana Flame is the most precious flame within Phoenix's body, usually used only in life-or-death situations and during Nirvana. The Nirvana Flame of dozens of Phoenix is even more powerful, capable of burning everything in the world, and even Demon Water cannot extinguish it.
The Demon Dragon thrashed its tail incessantly, struggling in pain as it was consumed by the Nirvana Flame, its massive body reduced to ashes.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qinghui and Ye Qingyao quickly followed the mother Phoenix to see the injured male Phoenix. One of the male Phoenix's wings had been torn off, and golden-red blood was flowing continuously; he was already on the verge of death.
Upon seeing this, the mother Phoenix couldn't help but shed tears.
As a monogamous bird, the Phoenix is particularly loyal to its mate, remaining monogamous for life. If its mate dies, the other will be deeply affected and will never seek a new mate.
Ye Qingyao stepped forward to stop the male Phoenix's bleeding, fixed its broken wings, and gave it some spirit medicine. With her meticulous care, the male Phoenix regained its vitality and was out of danger.
The mother Phoenix gratefully gave Ye Qinghui and Ye Qingyao a few drops of her Phoenix Tears.
The tears of the Phoenix Divine Bird are like crystals, pure and genuine, containing divine power that can cure all poisons and eliminate all evil forces.
Ye Qingyao urged Ye Qinghui to quickly swallow a Phoenix Tear to detoxify. A magical and pure power entered Ye Qinghui's body, instantly surging into his limbs and bones, soothing his internal organs, cleansing his meridians, and completely eliminating all the toxins in his body.
His complexion returned to its fair state, his blood began to flow again, turning a vibrant red, and even the Spiritual Qi within him felt surging and seemed more mellow than before.
He bowed to the Phoenixes in thanks, and then put the remaining few precious tears into his Heaven-and-Earth Ring, just in case his Junior Sister needed them in the future.
Phoenixes surrounded him and Ye Qingyao, performing a graceful dance, spreading their wings and singing loudly, thanking them for saving Phoenix Valley.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen unconscious and shrouded in black mist, King of Hell worried that things might change and the Evil Painting that had just been taken down might return. So he ordered several Ghost Guards to carry Ye Zhenzhen to the Ghost Gate and throw her away.
