Little Phoenix said, “Firmament Palace isn’t famous for nothing. Zuo Qingluan is their sacred lady. It’s not surprising that she would have a few tricks up her sleeve.”

Feng Wu agreed after some thought.

Little Phoenix said, “Plus, she has sensed the threat that you pose. If she knows you’re already a Spiritual King, she’ll kill you at all cost.”

Feng Wu snorted. “I’m about to do the same.”

She had worked so hard to improve herself because she wanted to get revenge and kill Zuo Qingluan.

It might look like she had moved on from her past, but no one could move on from a past like that.

Getting revenge on Zuo Qingluan was her ultimate motivation.

Little Phoenix frowned. “We must kill Zuo Qingluan, but it’s too risky now.”

Feng Wu said, “No, I think now is the best time.

“The Secret Essence Mine is your territory,” Feng Wu said sternly, “and I’m already a Spiritual King.

“We’re both Spiritual Kings. I have a chance.” Feng Wu had never sounded so serious.

Little Phoenix wanted to object, but Feng Wu’s serious tone stopped it.

Zuo Qingluan was a Level 1 Spiritual King last time they checked. What about now?

However, Feng Wu was right. This was Little Phoenix’s territory. What could Zuo Qingluan do?

Chen Ziyun had no idea that Feng Wu was getting ready for a major battle.

“Wait a minute!”

Chen Ziyun was shocked.

The Spiritual King Worms didn’t stop for even a second as they crawled past the both of them.

Some worms bumped into him, but they kept moving as if he didn’t exist.

Chen Ziyun didn’t know what to say.

It took him a while to realize what had happened. He asked Feng Wu, “What’s going on?”

Feng Wu shrugged.

Chen Ziyun said, “Why won’t they eat us?”

He felt ignored.

Feng Wu said, “I’m sure they have more important things to do.”

Chen Ziyun was confused. “What’s more important than eating?”

Soon, he knew the answer to that question.

Excretion!

Chen Ziyun’s mouth fell open when he saw the pile of feces.

He was confused. “Do Spirit Stone Worms have intelligence? They’re so clean. Did they just come here to take a dump?”

He then saw a row of deep pits blocking their way.

The worms’ movements almost reminded them of human beings.

They lined up, moved to the side of a pit, finished their business and moved away. The next worm would do the same.

Chen Ziyun didn’t know what to say.

Feng Wu didn’t expect to see this either, and an idea suddenly occurred to her.

She knew how to handle Zuo Qingluan.

Chen Ziyun covered his nose. “Let’s get out of here. I can’t stand the smell anymore.”

However, Little Phoenix said timidly, “It’s buried beneath the third pit over there…”

It almost sounded guilty.

Feng Wu looked at Chen Ziyun.

Little Phoenix nodded. “Let him do it.”

The look gave Chen Ziyun the creeps. He stared at Feng Wu and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you setting me up?”

Feng Wu almost couldn’t say it. “Chen Ziyun, how about we make a deal?”
