The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The next day, in the afternoon.

The streets of Song Dragon Town were crowded with people and vehicles, and everywhere were strangely dressed demonic cultivators, men and women.

In front of a window on the third floor of the Red Rock Pavilion, Ye Anping, wearing a silver mask, played with Gu Mingxin's left hand to kill time as he waited for Kong Huayuan to bring the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples to meet him.

Feng Yu Die, dressed as a maid, gnawed the roasted chicken that Ye Anping used to seal her mouth. Occasionally, she glanced at Ye Anping who was standing with his hands behind his back at the window, and smiled sweetly.

"Hehe..."

Not long after, Xiao Tian, who was keeping watch from the top of the wine shop, flew in through the ceiling in a hurry and shouted, "Anping, Kong Huayuan brought a ghost cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul into the pavilion! I just looked into that woman's storage bag and saw that she is an Elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect, named Chen Rugu."

"Chen Rugu..."

Ye Anping frowned slightly when he heard the name.

His original plan was to set a trap with Kong Huayuan outside Song Dragon Town, and then lead Gu Mingxin into the trap.

When Gu Mingxin diverted Kong Huayuan's attention, he would team up with Feng Yu Die to attack Kong Huayuan from behind, destroy his Nascent Soul, and with this, bury all the Ghost Spirit Sect's confidence brought by Kong Huayuan in the yellow sand.

In this way, he could conceal the truth and use Kong Huayuan's identity to enter Brilliance City to wreak havoc.

The fact that Kong Huayuan brought a Ghost Spirit Sect Elder here, meant that Kong Xiangmo probably still had doubts about his identity as an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and let Chen Rugu come with him, just to be Kong Huayuan's bodyguard.

It's a pity that Kong Xiangmo greatly underestimated their combat power.

Chen Rugu was indeed difficult to deal with, but against Feng Yu Die, Gu Mingxin, and himself, she didn't stand a chance… 

"Got it."

Ye Anping stood up and used a knife to make a small cut in Gu Mingxin's left hand. She pinched him back immediately to protest against the pain. Then, he wrapped Gu Mingxin's murderous aura around his body.

Seeing Feng Yu Die still eating, he walked over and wrapped up the half-eaten roasted chicken she hadn't finished before putting it into the storage bag. "Stop eating… someone is coming."

After saying that, Ye Anping took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil off her mouth and put the mask back on her face. "Stand aside and don't mess around..."

Feng Yu Die glanced at Ye Anping's thigh, blinking. "Well… why don't I lie on your lap like last time? This makes you look more badass, more like a demonic cultivator, hehe..."

"Don't..."

"It's okay… I want to lie down."

"I don't want you to lie down..."

Xiao Tian watched Yu Die being so proactive, and she was very pleased, but she didn't just watch. She quickly floated to the door and looked outside the house through it. Seeing that Kong Huayuan and Chen Rugu had already arrived, she turned her head and shouted, "Anping, they are at the door!" 

Hearing her voice, Ye Anping did not push Feng Yu Die away anymore. He let her kneel beside him and lie on his lap, and he even raised his hand to stroke the back of her head like last time.

Knock knock—

Two knocks on the door came. Ye Anping slightly tensed his throat and lowered his voice. "Come in."

Kong Huayuan pushed the door and led a woman wearing a red ghost mask into the room. When he entered the room, he saw Ye Anping, like last time, pressing his human furnace on his lap and stroking her like a pet, and the human furnace showed no sign of resistance at all, and there was even a playful look on her face.

He said, "Wow, I wanted to say it before. This immortal girl is very well-behaved after being trained by you, Brother Liang."

Ye Anping was speechless, then snorted coldly. "Heh... It's still the same reply as before. I won't sell this girl."

"Too bad..."

Kong Huayuan shrugged slightly. He reached out to the ghost-masked woman beside him and introduced her. "Elder Chen, this is Liang Liu, the Elder of the Prison Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect. That girl is the immortal human furnace he captured from the Jade Girl Sect in the Southern Region."

Through the eye holes in the ghost mask, a pair of eyes briefly examined Ye Anping, and when she felt the murderous aura around Ye Anping and his current playboy attitude, she nodded and said nothing. Then, she found a chair and sat down.

Seeing her action, Ye Anping slightly relaxed. After all, Chen Rugu was not as easy to fool as Kong Huayuan. He had thought that he would be tested again, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much.

After Kong Huayuan sat down, he took out an aged wine from his storage bag without saying a word, poured it for the three people present, and said, "Brother Liang, Elder Chen doesn't like to beat around the bush, so please get down to business first, and I'll have a few drinks with you after that." 

Ye Anping nodded and took out the map of the Song Dragon Town's surrounding area that he had made yesterday, spreading it on the table.

"This is the valley south of Song Dragon Town. I will set up the Thousand Killing Formation here. When Gu Mingxin enters the formation, I will bind her up inside, and then Elder Chen and Master Kong will work together to kill her. Master Kong, you've seen Gu Mingxin before, so you should know her abilities. You must not underestimate her."

Chen Rugu, who was standing by, looked at the map and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Elder Liang, Gu Mingxin is a traitor of the Heavenly Demon Sect... Isn't it inappropriate for you to stand aside and let Master Kong and I face her head-on?"

Ye Anping met her gaze without looking away. "Is it inappropriate?"

"I have heard about Gu Mingxin's abilities..."

Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you propose then?"

"Let Master Kong set up a formation outside."

After hearing this, Ye Anping understood that it was probably Kong Huayuan's father who said something like "Don't let my son take risks when the time comes". 

He shrugged. "That's fine. Then, Master Kong can stay with my furnace girl and guard outside the valley at that time..." 

Kong Huayuan was quite disappointed when he heard this, and he hurriedly defended himself. "Elder Chen, I am not a good-for-nothing. I want to compete with Gu Mingxin." 

"Gu Mingxin was a disciple of Yu Yan himself... Elder Kong asked me to follow you here. If anything happens to you, how can I explain myself when I return?"

"Tsk..." 

Kong Huayuan twitched his mouth, somewhat dissatisfied, but after glancing at Feng Yu Die who was still lying on Ye Anping's legs, he nodded in agreement. "Forget it then. If you catch Gu Mingxin, can you give this girl to me? Brother Liang, I really want her." 

Hearing this, Ye Anping's hand that was stroking Feng Yu Die's head suddenly stopped. He gritted his teeth, suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart, and smiled. "She's not for sale." 

"Whatever... Brother Liang, how about we have a few drinks? Elder Chen, you should also have a cup, yes?" 

"Well..." 

... ... 

A crescent moon rose from the eastern horizon, and the silvery moonlight cast a layer of white frost on the Eastern Wall. 

A black-haired woman in black clothes and a veil on her face was flying on a sword, riding the wind and breaking the clouds. A blood-colored spiritual light trailed behind her from the direction of Brilliance City hundreds of feet high in the sky. 

"Hum~♪~Hum♪"

A cheerful tune came from the woman's lips.

The vast and cold desert around her could not suppress her excitement.

A month ago, on the palm of her left hand that she left with her beloved, a sentence was written:

—See you in Brilliance City in a month.

Since then, Gu Mingxin was like a little girl who was going on an outing the next day. 

She couldn't sleep, couldn't condense her energy, and only looked forward to the arrival of that day.

Seeing that the agreed time was getting closer and closer, Gu Mingxin was extremely excited. When she thought that she would see her Ye Anping in a while...

She couldn't calm down at all.

"Ye Anping~ Hehehe♪~~Anping~~♪..."

Xue'e, who was sitting cross-legged on top of Gu Mingxin's head, with a wooden sword on her back and a small map in her hand, looked at her Mingxin's blooming appearance and helplessly reminded her. "Mingxin, the six demonic sects are now looking for you. When you enter Song Dragon Town later, don't forget to conceal your aura. If you are exposed, we will be in a lot of trouble..."

"Hehe♪..."

Xue'e didn't know if she heard her or not. She sighed slightly, stood up, and stomped on her head, frowning and scolding, "Mingxin!!!"

Gu Mingxin showed some dissatisfaction on her face as she glanced at her."Yeah... I know."

"What do you know! Ye Anping just asked you to meet him and now you can't concentrate your energy, you can't practice sword, and you only think about him every day! What kind of attitude is this?!"

Frowning, Xue'e crossed her arms and stomped on her head a few more times, then looked around. "I wonder why he asked you to come to Brilliance City? That is now the territory of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Why did he choose this place to meet? The people of the Ghost Spirit Sect are all looking for you."

Gu Mingxin didn't listen to her. "Xue'e, how far is it?"

"There are still more than one hundred miles left, you fly slowly… We don't... "

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Mingxin heard that there were only one hundred miles left, and her eyes lit with joy. She immediately poured her spiritual energy into her flying sword and increased its speed. 

"Hiss— Mingxin!! Don't rush! Fly slowly!! What if the disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect see you... Hey!! Mingxin!!!"

Gu Mingxin ignored Xue'e's nagging. She just wanted to see Ye Anping as soon as possible.

Last time in the Bright Star Sect, because of that white idiot and the Bright Star Sect disciples, she could only taste him a little, but this time, she wouldn't let go until she had tasted enough.

She wanted to chew Ye Anping's mouth to pieces!!

The flying sword was like a red ghost cutting through the night sky. Infused with her spiritual power, it traveled the one hundred miles in less than half an hour.

Demonic cultivators were coming and going in the red houses and wine pavilions on the street. After entering the Dragon Song Town, Gu Mingxin didn't act recklessly anymore; instead, she carefully restrained her aura and mixed into the crowd.

She looked around at the passers-by on the street with expectation and noticed a young man in black who was selecting pills in front of a pill stall not far ahead.

Gu Mingxin thought it was Ye Anping, so she sneaked over, but when the man turned around, she found that it was not him. She suddenly had the urge to chop off the man, so she turned around and continued to walk forward. Seeing that he wasn't there, she asked, "Xue'e, where is he?" 

Xue'e was also in a dilemma. There were too many people around. If she released her spiritual sense to find Ye Anping, her head would hurt. 

After thinking for a while, she said, "Mingxin, why don't you use your hand to grab his butt?" 

"Hmm..." 

Gu Mingxin was silent for a moment, then controlled her left hand to squeeze it hard, and then she felt a stinging pain as if she was whipped by a ruler. 

"Hiss—" 

Gu Mingxin took a breath and unconsciously wanted to rub it, but unfortunately, she couldn't. 

However, Ye Anping seemed to know that she meant "I've arrived". Gu Mingxin felt her fingers being pried apart by Ye Anping, and then his index finger gently scratched on her palm:

—The valley south of Song Dragon Town.

Gu Mingxin pouted in disappointment.

They had agreed to meet in Brilliance City before, but when she was about to arrive, Ye Anping asked her to come to Song Dragon Town, and now he asked her again to go to the valley south of Song Dragon Town...

So annoying.

However, she only complained for a moment. With one last look at the pedestrians around her, her body directly transformed into a ray of bloody light and shot into the air from the street. 

"Hey? Mingxin... what's wrong?"

"Ye Anping said to go to the valley south of Song Dragon Town."

"Eh?"

Xue'e froze for a moment and quickly took out the map to look at it, but Gu Mingxin didn't wait for her. Summoning her flying sword, she stepped on it and took off toward the valley in the south.

"Hey! Mingxin, don't be anxious!!"

Gu Mingxin flew ahead, and Xue'e chased behind. They arrived at the valley Ye Anping mentioned in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Xue'e panted and kicked Gu Mingxin's forehead a few times with a resentful look before taking out the Heavenly Demonic Scroll from under her skirt and flipping through it.

"Mingxin, this is Void Origin Valley. Twelve thousand years ago, it was the location of a sect called Void Origin Sect. However, due to the war between the demonic cultivators and the Immortal Family, the spiritual vein of the land was destroyed, and this place became a desert. That sect moved to the Southern Region..." 

"Hmm..."

Gu Mingxin didn't listen to what she said at all. She looked around and didn't see anyone, so she simply descended on the sword and landed on a cliff in the valley. Her eyes moved back and forth between the thousand-foot-high pillars and sandstone walls around them.

Birds and beasts did not live here, and the crescent moon in the night made it look a little desolate.

Still not seeing Ye Anping, Gu Mingxin was a little impatient. She looked around and simply controlled her left hand to pinch Ye Anping's butt again.

However, she found that her left hand seemed to be hung up by Ye Anping again.

"Hmm?"

Gu Mingxin frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on. Above her head, Xue'e, who was using her spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, suddenly opened her eyes wide as if she saw something.

"Mingxin!! It's a trap!! Run!"

"What trap?" Gu Mingxin asked in confusion.

The next moment, a blood-red light shot up from the valley and condensed into a blood-colored energy shield that covered the entire valley in an instant.

"Mingxin!! Behind you!"

Hearing Xue'e's reminder, Gu Mingxin, although still a little confused, reacted quickly. She summoned her blood-colored sword almost instantly, turned around, and raised the sword horizontally in front of her.

Ding—

Sparks burst.

A woman with a red ghost mask, holding a long curved snake sword, had appeared behind her at some point.

Gu Mingxin looked at the woman with the ghost mask in silence. She immediately distanced herself, flew up into the air, and looked around in disbelief.

It was Ye Anping who asked her to meet here.

Why was an Elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect here?

And what's the deal with this formation?

Xue'e was also confused, and she quickly flew to Gu Mingxin's side, helping her to monitor the surroundings. "Mingxin, didn't he ask you to come here? How come there are cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect here…" 

Gu Mingxin looked at the ghost-masked woman who did not choose to catch up with her. She frowned and glanced at the energy shield that trapped her here, finally coming to a conclusion. 

Ye Anping sold her out again... 

He had taken her kiss! And her hand!!

Then, he sold her to the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Gu Mingxin squeezed the sword in her hand until it creaked. Fuming with rage, she gritted her teeth, immediately wanting to shout Ye Anping's name, but before she could do it, Ye Anping's cold voice came from behind. "Young Miss Gu, how are you?" 

Startled, Gu Mingxin turned her head and saw a young man in a black robe and wearing a silver mask, floating with his hands behind his back about a hundred feet away from her... 

Confused, she looked at the Ghost Spirit Sect Elder below, and asked, "Ye..." 

Ye Anping interrupted again. "I wonder if Miss Gu still remembers me, Liang Liu."
