The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C341

Chapter 341: Senior brother, he looks like a cannon fodder

Rumble—

Rolling thunder roamed among the remaining clouds of the silver moon, and a deafening roar emanated from the distant palace, resembling the movement of an earth dragon. It shook the entire Tainan City, causing houses within the city to collapse one after another.

Hu Mu, holding onto the collar of his obedient disciple, paused as he observed the spiritual radiance bursting forth from the palace, his brow furrowing slightly.

Si Xuanji had requested his assistance in dealing with Nangong Cheng, but he hadn’t anticipated that Si Xuanji would directly attack Nangong Cheng within the Tianan City Palace.

Tianan City was not only the intersection of the Central Domain’s spiritual veins but also Nangong Cheng’s territory.

As long as Nangong Cheng possessed the “Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal,” He would remain the master of the Central Domain, able to manipulate its spiritual energy without restraint.

In such a scenario, it would be almost impossible to eliminate Nangong Cheng’s void spirit. Even if he unleashed all his powers and joined the fray, he might not be able to overcome Nangong Cheng’s advantage in terrain.

Boom—

Suddenly, five streams of spiritual light soared into the sky from Tainan City, coalescing into a golden sphere above, illuminating the dark streets like a golden sun.

Hu Mu observed solemnly, his already furrowed brows deepening further. These five streams of spiritual light formed the emperor’s sect-protecting formation, capable of breaking through the protective spiritual shields of void realm cultivators.

Si Xuanji was now facing Nangong Cheng head-on, and once entangled in this formation, defeat seemed inevitable.

After a moment of hesitation, Hu Mu immediately swung his tail and released his spiritual energy, preparing to assist Si Xuanji in dealing with the Emperor Sect’s city defense formation. However, just as he was about to act, Liang Zhu, who was by his side, interrupted him with a respectful gesture,

“Sir, there is no need for you to intervene in this city defense formation.”

Hu Mu narrowed his eyes at the remark but before he could inquire further, a loud noise came from the west of the city.

Boom—

One of the five ethereal lights rising from Tianan City suddenly disappeared. Simultaneously, the golden sphere formed by the original formation burst in mid-air, causing the aura to dissipate.

“…”

Someone breached the city’s defense formation!

Did that old lady decipher the Emperor Sect’s formation?

She truly lived up to her reputation. All those years of experience hadn’t gone to waste. Hu Mu maintained a stern expression, silently praising her insight, then glanced at Liang Zhu, who seemed to have more to say. Nodding slightly, he commanded, “Go on.”

“Yes, Your Eminence.” Liang Zhu took a deep breath and continued, “Your Eminence, please utilize your fox power to shield the hundreds of thousands of ordinary cultivators in the city from being affected by the battles of void cultivators.”

Protect the city’s inhabitants!

Hu Mu scrutinized Liang Zhu and asked, “Is this your request or her directive?”

“I’m merely conveying her wishes.”

“So, there’s no need for me to assist at the palace?”

“Yes, Your Eminence only needs to safeguard the ordinary cultivators in the city while the Supreme Immortal Danyue battles the Emperor of the Central Domain. There’s no need for further intervention from Your Eminence.”

Hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Hu Mu’s face. The feud between the demon and human clans ran deep.

On the journey from Yu Guan to Tianan, he refrained from letting his demons slaughter the inhabitants of the immortal cities along the way, solely out of respect and to avoid confrontation with the old woman, Danyue.

And now, she wanted him to protect the humans!

This request was as distasteful to him as eating his least favorite food.

“Why should I intervene to protect humans who are killing each other? What if I refuse?”

“…”

Liang Zhu couldn’t help but sweat nervously at the counter-question.

Ye Anping requested him to convey the message to the Demon Emperor, asking for protection for the cultivators in the city.

When Ye Anping mentioned this, he also questioned,

“The demon clan harbors a deep hatred for human cultivators, how could the old fox possibly agree to safeguard them within the city?”

Ye Anping’s response to this was,

“Liang, you just need to convey it to him, he will surely agree.”

Now, Hu Mu’s expression indicated his disagreement. Could it be that Lao Liu had made an error in judgment?

Liang Zhu cursed inwardly, carefully considering the wording of his next statement. However, at that moment, Xue Tianqiao, held by Hu Mu by the collar, glanced at her master’s expression and jokingly remarked,

“Master, if you refuse, will I get another fox fur?”

Hu Mu’s eyes twitched upon hearing this, regretting bringing his clever disciple along. He immediately covered her mouth and sternly warned,

“If you dare mention that fox fur again, I will…”

Xue Tianqiao, with a curious expression, interjected,

“Is it skinning or tooth extraction this time?”

Hu Mu was left speechless, but after taking a deep breath, his expression softened. He placed Xue Tianqiao on the ground and turned to Liang Zhu, giving him a warning glare,

“Keep an eye on her. If I come back and she’s missing so much as a hair…”

“My master will have your skin!” Xue Tianqiao continued, looking at Liang Zhu before turning back to her master with a mischievous smile.

“Are you in agreement?”

“… …”

Hu Mu’s teeth slightly bulged as he took a deep breath. With a sweep of his long tail, his figure instantly transformed into a black mist, rising to a hundred feet in the air and overlooking the entire Tainan City.

Then, with closed eyes, he began to make seals with his hands. A fox head the size of a mountain appeared behind him.

In the next moment, a thunderous roar echoed throughout Tainan City,

“Boom~~”

A menacing black demonic energy engulfed the sky, forming a circular spiritual shield that enveloped the palace, effectively separating it from the rest of the city.

In just an instant, the earth-shaking turmoil caused by the battle above the palace came to an abrupt halt, leaving the entire Tainan City in dead silence.

Meanwhile, in the secret vault beneath Tianhe Palace,

Swish—

Pei Lianxue swiftly slashed across the back of an imperial guard’s neck with her ice-blue sword energy. She then approached Ye Anping, who had been meditating in front of a sculpture.

“Brother, it’s settled.”

“Um…”

Boom—

The ground shook, and the entire secret vault trembled for a moment, with dust falling from the ceiling. Ye Anping took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked at the small coiled dragon sculpture in front of him, which housed the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal hidden by Nangong Cheng.

According to the game’s plot, Feng Yudie was supposed to use her Holy Emperor bloodline to unlock the coffin and obtain the Heavenly Seal. However, Si Xuanji had acted too quickly, making it impossible for him to bring Feng Yudie down now and let her use her destiny to transfer the ownership of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal to her name.

Anyway, he was now half-destined himself, so obtaining the item from Nangong Cheng wouldn’t be too difficult.

Regarding the matter of opening the coffin, let’s entrust it to the sword wielded by Immortal Yunjian.

“Junior sister, let’s begin.”

Ye Anping took a deep breath and then extended his hand, channeling his spiritual energy to envelop the entire coiled dragon sculpture.

Pei Lianxue also closed her eyes for a moment, then lifted her Snow Spirit Sword.

A sudden icy blue sword light flashed and vanished.

With a crisp sound, a crack resembling a tree branch appeared above the coiled dragon sculpture, extending to its tail.

Ye Anping furrowed his brows and urged his spiritual power, commanding, “Open!”

The dragon’s body, crafted from gold and stone, instantly fragmented into countless pieces, shooting out in all directions. Among them, a palm-sized jade seal, adorned with a symbol of Nine Dragons rising to peace, suddenly emerged.

The nine dragons atop it seemed almost alive. Upon being freed from the stone coffin, they all turned their heads towards Ye Anping, who was seated in front of them.

Ye Anping gritted his teeth slightly, suppressing a breath, and ordered, “Come!”

The next moment, the nine small dragons emerged from the top of the jade seal like snakes, opening their mouths and biting directly onto Ye Anping’s neck and arms.

Their sharp teeth sank into his bones, blood spreading from the wounds. But as if absorbed by the dragon heads, the blood gradually tainted the once pristine jade seal with a hint of red.

Pei Lianxue, beside him, paled at the sight, hastily raising her sword to strike at the dragon heads. Yet, Ye Anping quickly intervened, saying, “Junior sister!”

Pei Lianxue held the long sword aloft, watching her senior brother bleed as if the pain was her own, feeling deeply heartbroken.

After a brief moment, the nine dragon heads finally released their grip and withdrew onto the jade seal. The inscription “Nangong Cheng” beneath the jade seal gradually vanished, replaced by “Ye Anping”.

Seeing this, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the wounds inflicted by the golden dragon, and immediately sent his consciousness into the Nine Dragons Seal.

Almost instantly, a golden light burst through the ceiling of the seal, shooting into the sky.

Boom–

Amid the rubble that was once Tianhe Palace, a spiritual light suddenly emerged, instantly halting the ongoing battle above.

Floating in mid-air with a celestial sash draped over her shoulders, Si Xuanji looked at the golden beam shooting from below, a teasing smile playing on her lips as she addressed Nangong Cheng, who wielded a spear opposite her,

“Nangong, still not ready to concede!”

“…”

Earlier, Nangong Cheng hadn’t taken it seriously when Si Xuanji claimed his Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal had been stolen.

That seal was a sacred object of the region. Even if stolen, as long as it couldn’t be claimed by another, it would be nothing more than a valuable gem to the thief.

But now, this golden beam of light had made it evident that the Heavenly Seal no longer acknowledged him as the ruler of the Central Domain.

In an instant, Nangong Cheng felt as if the golden elixir within him had turned into a mere pebble, causing intense pain in his abdomen. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Si Xuanji and exclaimed, “Danyue!! You’re asking for trouble!! Even if the North Star manages to obtain the Nine Dragons’ Heavenly Seal, do you think they’ll just hand it over to you?”

Si Xuanji shrugged nonchalantly and retorted with a smirk, “What do you think?”

Nangong Cheng endured the excruciating pain in his abdomen, amplifying his voice with spiritual power to shout, “North Star!! The Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal is a sacred artifact of the domain, bestowed upon me by Huanglong thousands of years ago as a token of his promise. Whoever claims the seal as master shall be the ruler of the Central Domain!! Remember this…”

Hearing his amplified transmission, Si Xuanji’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger. With a swift motion of her hand, a thunder spear shot forth from beside her.

The spear pierced through Nangong Cheng’s chest, causing him to cough up blood violently.

“Argh… Argh—”

“You’re so irritating!”

Nangong Cheng fled swiftly downward, realizing that with the sect’s formation broken and the Heavenly Seal changed hands, Tainan City and the Central Domain were no longer under his control.

The Demon Emperor was also present, and Si Xuanji harbored murderous intentions toward him as well. No matter how hard he struggled, victory seemed unattainable.

Unless the leaders of Taibai Sect or Wu Nian Sect arrived at this moment, but since Si Xuanji dared to act, it was likely that neither sect had received any news yet.

The old woman named Si aimed to dominate the four regions…

With the Heavenly Seal changing hands, it indicated that Huanglong deemed someone else more suitable to be the ruler of the Central Domain than him.

While losing to the North Star might leave him feeling slightly resentful, losing to Si Xuanji was something he couldn’t bear.

Even before her demise, it would be satisfying to disgust the old lady.

Swoosh—

Several flesh-piercing sounds rang out as Nangong Cheng, swiftly fleeing downward, was instantaneously turned into a hedgehog by numerous thunder guns, somersaulting in mid-air and hurtling towards the ground.

Si Xuanji floated above, arms crossed, gazing at him with pitiless eyes, and grinned, saying,

“Boy Nangong…”

Swoosh—

Nangong Cheng leveraged his strength, hurling the golden spear in his hand towards Si Xuanji. A golden thread sliced across her face, heading for the moon behind her.

Boom—

A streak of blood appeared on Si Xuanji’s fair face. She turned to look behind her, witnessing a cloud of dust explode on the moon, shifting slightly to the side.

“You’re quite stubborn…”

Si Xuanji shrugged, raising her hand. Purple spiritual energy condensed into a chubby, baby-like hand, slamming into Nangong Cheng in mid-air like a fierce dragon plunging into the sea, leaving a golden trail and crashing downward into the ruins of Tianhe Palace.

Boom—

“Brother, watch out!!”

Pei Lianxue rushed to Ye Anping, who was meditating in front of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal, just as the ceiling of the secret vault collapsed.

The icy blue sword energy swept over Ye Anping’s head, shattering all the falling rubble into pieces.

Simultaneously, a figure in a dragon robe fell with the ceiling, landing amidst a dispersing pile of spiritual stones in the center of the secret vault.

Ye Anping withdrew his spiritual power, squinting at the fallen figure. Seeing it was Nangong Cheng, he sucked in a breath sharply,

“Hiss—”

Si Xuanji managed to bring Nangong Cheng right in front of him.

“Oh my goodness…”

Honestly, Ye Anping was briefly thrown off guard. He had just been getting used to the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal, preparing to use its power to draw all the spiritual energy from beneath Tianan City to Si Xuanji. The plan was to let Si Xuanji obliterate Nangong City’s ethereal form with a single strike.

Before he could execute his plan, however, Si Xuanji unexpectedly brought Nangong Cheng directly to him.

Looking at Nangong Cheng in his current state, barely clinging to life, Ye Anping realized that even though he was on the brink of death, killing him and his junior sister, both at the foundational stage, would be as effortless as squashing ants for a cultivator of the Middle Void Realm.

Pei Lianxue furrowed her brow slightly and immediately positioned herself in front of Ye Anping, tightly gripping the Snow Spirit Sword in her hand.

“Senior brother…”

“Don’t approach,” Ye Anping quickly regained his composure, stood up from the ground, leaned on Pei Lianxue’s shoulder, and took hold of the spirit sword from her.

“Junior sister, stand behind me.”

At the same time, Nangong Cheng struggled to rise from the ground, turned his head towards them, and upon seeing the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal on Ye Anping’s body, he uttered, “The bearer of the Celestial Pivot… remember this… The Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal acknowledges you as its master. Henceforth, the Central Domain is yours to command, bound by the fate of the Central Domain and your Celestial Pivot. You will ascend to immortality, but be cautious of the Xuanxing Sect’s old…”

Before he could finish, a figure suddenly appeared behind Nangong Cheng, delivering a swift kick to his rear, sending him sprawling to the ground.

“Nangong brat, these two are my disciples. Don’t try to deceive them,” a voice rang out.

Hearing the voice, Nangong Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he turned to see a young man in a golden robe standing behind him.

“Yun Tianmi!”

Seeing the unexpected arrival of the Cloud Sword Immortal, Ye Anping was momentarily stunned. It seemed he had accidentally triggered a plot dialogue not present in the game.

The Cloud Sword Immortal, arms crossed, glanced at the wounds on Ye Anping’s body and remarked, “Well, well, Ye Anping, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal acknowledges you as its master. Impressive! You truly live up to my expectations. Haha! Seems I made the right choice in giving you this sword!”

Ye Anping, caught off guard by the turn of events, paused for a moment before hastily bowing. “Greetings, Immortal.”

“Damn it, call me master!! I gave you my sword, how dare you pull up your pants and not acknowledge me as a master?”

“Master…”

Immortal Yun Jian nodded satisfactorily, hugging his chest, then glanced at Pei Lianxue and said,

“Pei, you’re becoming more and more powerful. You’re already in the late stage of foundation building.”

“…Yeah,” Pei Lianxue replied, pressing her neck slightly.

“Why are you still so timid when you speak? How can my disciple be so timid? Yes, make sure to buy Pei some more wine later. Drinking more will naturally make her more assertive… Ahaha——”

Nangong Cheng, lying on the ground, listened in disbelief, then looked at Ye Anping.

As the successor of Master Yuntian, why should he follow that woman named Si?

Nangong Cheng took a deep breath and shouted,

“Reverse Star! Ahem – that woman named Si… ahem – she wants to…”

Seeing Nangong Cheng struggling to speak, and with Master Yuntian present, he felt emboldened and simply said what he wanted to say,

“She wants to use the reverse star to eliminate all Immortal cultivators except herself and establish herself as the sole Immortal in the Four Domains. Is this what Senior Nangong wants to say?”

Nangong Cheng’s eyes widened: “Since you know…”

“After the Holy Emperor, no one could unify the four regions. Now that the reverse star has appeared, the leader of the Xuanxing Sect wants to use it to fulfill her ambitions and dominate the four regions.

“Cultivators in the Void Realm are all half-immortals and naturally have ambitions to dominate the four realms. Aren’t you the same? Wu Nian Sect, Taibai Sect, Xuanxing Sect, Emperor Sect, and Han Tian Kingdom, the masters of the five sects. Everyone regards others as a thorn in their side and wants to get rid of them.

“But do you think someone who usually enjoys stargazing and eating melon seeds will do anything harmful after unifying the four domains? If one of the five sect masters is to be chosen to lead the four domains, the master of Xuanxing Sect is undoubtedly the best candidate.”

Upon hearing this, Immortal Yun Jian raised an eyebrow slightly and countered,

“What’s that supposed to mean? Ye, am I not the best choice as your mentor?”

“Haven’t you been deceased for many years?”

Hiss—alright.” Immortal Yun Jian furrowed his brow, took a deep breath, then glanced down at Nangong Cheng lying before him, remarking, “So, you got beaten up by that old woman? Nangong, you’re quite pathetic, even unable to beat an old lady… How come you’ve been Emperor of the Central Domain for so long but can’t handle a spear? Weren’t you able to hold your ground against me for ten moves back in the day?”

Nangong Cheng was left speechless, his eyes unable to believe Ye Anping standing before him with the Xuanbing Spirit Sword.

He had already grasped the meaning behind Ye’s words just now. This youth seemed devoid of any desires or ambitions.

Yet, despite this, he was recognized by the heavens and entrusted with the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal by the Yellow Dragon.

Ye Anping approached Nangong Cheng, wielding the Snow Spirit Sword, and said calmly,

“Nangong, I know you can’t find your words now, but I understand what’s on your mind. You’re wondering why someone like me, seemingly expendable, would have the audacity to snatch the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal from you. But the truth is… I was coerced into becoming the Celestial Pivot, and I’m enjoying roast chicken up there right now.”

Nangong remained silent.

Ye raised the Xuanbing Spirit Sword in his hand, holding it vertically downward. Observing from the side, Immortal Yun Jian’s eyes grew cold. Stepping forward, he gripped Ye’s hand:

“Young man Ye, with your level of cultivation, even with my sword, you wouldn’t be able to vanquish his ethereal spirit. I’ll lend a hand, and Pei is here too.”

Pei Lianxue nodded in agreement and approached, asking, “What’s the plan?”

“So…”

Yun Tianmi reached out to pull Pei Lianxue’s hand, holding the sword hilt with Ye Anping, then looked down at Nangong Cheng below and said coldly,

“Haha, Nangong, you owed me a drink back then, and now you’ve paid up…”

“…”

His right hand pressed down on the hilt of the Snow Spirit Sword.

Swish——

The ice-blue sword light descended vertically, piercing through Nangong Cheng’s back, and pinning him to the ground.

Nangong Cheng’s eyes slightly widened as he struggled to look behind him. But soon, his figure began to dissolve, gradually turning into light spots.

Yun Tianmi removed his hand from the sword hilt, and his transparent figure began to dissipate,

“Ye, Pei, don’t let me down. Carry on the legacy of the Yunjian name!”

“I understand, Master.”

Ye Anping sighed softly, watching Yunjian fade away. Then, feeling exhausted, he fell to the ground.

Pei Lianxue quickly reached out to support him, allowing him to rest against her chest, her face filled with concern as she asked,

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing… The Nine Dragons’ Heavenly Seal drained some blood, I’m just tired. Junior sister, carry me out. I need to rest a bit. The matter between Senior Sister Feng and the Demon Emperor is not resolved yet.”

With that, Ye Anping closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Seeing her senior brother asleep, Pei Lianxue quickly knelt, lifting him like a princess. She used her spiritual power to retract the sword from Nangong Cheng’s body and looked around, finding their path blocked by the recent landslide. The hole above was at least a hundred feet deep.

As Pei Lianxue prepared to summon the flying sword, a small figure suddenly jumped down from the ceiling hole, landing unsteadily on the ground.

“Ouch…”

Si Xuanji stood up, rubbing her buttocks. She looked around and said,

“You’re Junior Sister Pei!”

It was the first time Pei Lianxue had seen Si Xuanji, and her unusual eyes made her wary. She took a step back but then realized Si Xuanji was only in the early stage of foundation building, leaving her puzzled,

“Who are you?”

Si Xuanji smirked, pointing at her face,

“I’m Xiao Yunluo’s sister. When my mother was fighting him, I was hiding in the palace. She’s gone back now, and she sent me to bring you. Come on…”

With a flick of her finger, she produced a magical boat from her storage bag, jumped on it, and gestured for Pei Lianxue to bring Ye Anping up.

Upon hearing the term “little girl” repeated four times, Pei Lianxue felt there was an emphasis on something. She looked suspicious and asked again,

“Are you Senior Sister Xiao’s sister?”

“Yes.”

“How tall is Senior Sister Xiao?”

“Four feet, four inches, and twelve centimeters.”

“Is she really that short?”

“My sister wears three inches of padding in her shoes normally. Anyway, this place is about to collapse. Hurry up, I’ll take you out.”

Pei Lianxue still had doubts, but Ye Anping opened his eyes slightly and said,

“Junior sister, go up, it’s okay.”

“Alright… Senior brother, rest well.”
