Wu Yu had waited long for this moment.

The White Sun Immortal Lord and the others would soon catch up and defend the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. He might only have a dozen breaths of time.

Once they arrived, Wu Yu would lose his window of opportunity.

Therefore, he only had a brief moment to take her away. He had to act swiftly, decisively. There was no room for chivalry here.

Before this, he had lost to the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. He had a good chance back then, but because of his weak autonomous realm power, he had been subdued by the Divine Pearl of Lesser Control.

And almost eliminated.

"You!" The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was staggered.

Wu Yu's best chance.

"Spirit Chaser Art!"

The Ground Demon Transformation Art, one of the 72 Transformations, was a high level immortal technique of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. Clearly, it was at the Immortal Lord Realm or above; otherwise, Wu Yu would not be still stumped by the new techniques.

With his two realms of power supporting him, he was much stronger than before, and his Spirit Chaser Art flew forth speedily. Almost in the first instant, it connected with the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's immortal spirit, causing her to swoon.

His opener had succeeded!

Under the dizzying effects of the Spirit Chaser Art, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord stumbled about, her face slack. She was bleeding from her orifices.

"Meteoric Mirror!"

Wu Yu immediately used his Eyes of Fire and Gold after the Spirit Chaser Art. More speed! Instantly, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was surrounded by the flaming mirrors. The enraged bellows of the White Sun Immortal Lord could be heard, but Wu Yu had already executed his skill. The alarmed Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was engulfed by Wu Yu's Heaven Dao Mystique!

"Ahhh!"

Even such a great eternal phoenix was shredded by the onslaught! Wu Yu had to clean things up quickly, and could afford to spare her no consideration. As the Eyes of Fire and Gold savaged her, he had already positioned the Floating Dreams Pagoda above her head. The Time Warp Immortal Design was activated, and the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's resistance was completely captured within the Time Warp Immortal Design.

"You!"

She quickly pulled out the Nine-Colored Chaos Spike and the Divine Pearl of Lesser Control, but she was too late. Both her immortal spirit and physical body were grievously injured.

"Blink Slayer Design!"

This immortal design was fast and powerful. Under the effects of the time warp, Wu Yu appeared before the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, and his Floating Dreams Sword sliced through her. He did not cut through her immortal spirit. After all, Wu Yu could not possibly kill her. But with the cutting power of the Floating Dreams Sword, Wu Yu readily cut through sinew and bone, and the vigorous sword qi shredded through her body, covering her in devastating wounds!

Wu Yu's combination of attacks were already pre-planned. It was backed by his current strength, which could stand up against a 9-realm immortal lord with difficulty. Especially with his Realm of the Physical Body power, he was even stronger. Wu Yu was at least her match in autonomous realm power, and Wu Yu's mystiques were better.

"You dare do this to me?! My mother will seek you out and take your mongrel life!" the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord spat out in anger. She continued to screech shrilly at Wu Yu despite her injuries.

"Snow Region Immortal Lord, you're dead!" The White Sun Immortal Lord had finally arrived on scene. Spreading his wings wide, he came charging over with a flushed face. They knew what would happen to them if anything happened to the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. If she was injured, they were in deep trouble.

Besides, who in this world would dare to treat the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord so cruelly?

The White Sun Immortal Lord's eyes were almost popping out of his skull.

But Wu Yu moved quickly. He had another destinable immortal treasure in his hand now, the Frost Spirit's Threads, which belonged to the Snow Region Immortal Lord originally. Wu Yu had devoured its owner, so he could use it directly. The Frost Spirit's Threads coiled out and trussed the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord up completely in snow-white lines! The Frost Spirit's Threads were icy, while the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's body was fiery. The Frost Spirit's Threads was the perfect tool to subdue her. The web-like immortal treasure bound her in frost, and she transformed into a frozen phoenix ice sculpture. She was unable to move or resist!

"Die!" the White Sun Immortal Lord cursed with all his might.

Wu Yu was faster. With a cool look in his eyes, he stuffed the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord unceremoniously into the Floating Dreams Pagoda. She was powerless to react, frozen as she was, and vanished before their eyes.

Wu Yu again looked at the White Sun Immortal Lord, who cursed him, "You dare kidnap the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord? She is the daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress. Do you know what your fate will be? Snow Region Immortal Lord, you are doomed through and through!"

He himself was about to die of fright. How could anyone dare to be so bold? He was even ignoring the Provenance Phoenix Empress herself - someone who was equal to the Nine Great Dragon Emperors!

Where did he get the guts from?

How could such an enigma exist!?

"Did you lure us here? Was your goal the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord?"

"Snow Region Immortal Lord, let her go this instant, and you might have a chance at life! Be wise!"

Even the White Sun Immortal Lord and the others were panicky with fear. They could not understand what was happening, nor why Wu Yu was doing this.

But all that answered them was a dispassionate look from Wu Yu. They could never guess his true purpose.

As they rushed up, Wu Yu vanished.

They could not even chase him, because Wu Yu had already left with the Somersault Cloud.

Those left behind looked around blankly.

The eternal phoenix tribe members were all completely stunned, looking at each other. They did not even dare to sigh at this time. They could not even imagine what this would result in....

"White Sun Immortal Lord, what are we to do...." The other eternal phoenix tribe members were absolutely devastated.

The White Sun Immortal Lord gritted his teeth. "If we do not kill the Snow Region Immortal Lord and win the Princess back, we are dead even if we leave this place. It might even involve our families.... This is the daughter most doted on by the Provenance Phoenix Empress...."

The eternal phoenixes did not respond for a long time. The entire star was dead silent. Only the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls continued to twinkle....

Wu Yu had divided the space in the Floating Dreams Pagoda into two. The Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were on one side, while the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was on the other.

And then he opened his speed to full throttle so the eternal phoenix tribe would not be able to find him.

Within the Floating Dreams Pagoda, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord slowly recovered, the Frost Spirit's Threads' ice melting. But if she tried to escape in her human form, the Frost Spirit's Threads would immediately tighten her again. She could not change into her true form either, with her body so injured. She was unable to escape from Wu Yu.

She had calmed down now, saying, "I know who you are! Even though your appearance is completely different, I will not forget you!"

"Oh?" Wu Yu smiled. He found a remote star and had the doppelgangers guard the Floating Dreams Pagoda while he entered. The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's body was still burning with flames. In her human form, she was the exact double of Nangong Wei, and her fair flesh was amply on display, pressing tightly against the bindings of the Frost Spirit's Threads.

"Your attack patterns. I've seen them before. You are the Hundred Thousand Swords Immortal Lord, not the Snow Region Immortal Lord. That is why you are unafraid of revenge. But I know you now, Hundred Thousand Swords Immortal Lord. I advise you to let me go immediately, or you will be in deep trouble! Do you know who I am?"

Wu Yu had expected that she could infer as much. He said, "Of course I know. The daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress. And you are very, very beloved. The esteemed Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord."

The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had thought that revealing her identity would put a scare in him, but it did not. She was thrown off by this. Against Wu Yu, she had no choice but to curb her anger and think calmly and coolly.

"You snatched my ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King already. Why kidnap me on top of that? What's your goal?" she asked him frankly.

Wu Yu stood before her, gazing upon her familiar face. Every last detail was exactly the same, but she was someone else. It distracted Wu Yu greatly.

"You dare to look at me so rudely?" The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's eyes widened.

Wu Yu smiled and said, "I'll answer your questions, shall I? Firstly, I won the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King with my own ability. Secondly, as for my goal, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord is a beautiful lady, and I am just an ordinary immortal. I want to have a beautiful marriage with the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. I wonder, will you agree?"

"Go to hell!" Despite her continued self-reminders to remain cool, Wu Yu's despicable manner stoked her irritation. Her eyes were flinty. "If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, my mother will smash your body into 10,000 pieces, Hundred Thousand Swords Immortal Lord! Do you think you can escape my mother? This is the Great Void Immortal Path!"

Wu Yu was indeed taking a risk.

He was unafraid. He laughed and then reached out a hand to break off a strand of her long hair. "And now I have harmed a hair on your head. What now?"

"Just for what you did to me previously, you're dead," the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord said through clenched teeth.

"Since I'm dead anyway, I might as well reward myself. Isn't that right?" Wu Yu asked.

"How you die depends on what you choose. The time will come when you realize that death is a blessing. It is being unable to die that is the nightmare," she said coolly.

Actually, Wu Yu was just trying to intimidate her. Now that things were in hand, he would have to figure out how to accomplish his goal. How could he bring her back to life? Firstly, he had to understand her body. Perhaps Nangong Wei's soul still existed. Just as he himself had been hidden back then.

He first had to knock the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord out.

"Too noisy. Go to sleep," Wu Yu said.

"What are you trying to do!?" The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord glared at him.
