Mythical Abode Mountain, Cloud’s End Cliff, the most dangerous of Azure Cloud Continent’s four deadly areas. Cloud’s End Cliff’s base is known as the Grim Reaper’s Cemetery.
Over countless ye...
"What's the other thing?" Feng Hengkong asked angrily. The Divine Phoenix Empire had been the hegemon for many years, and its power was overwhelming. The other six nations never dared to offend or disobey the Divine Phoenix Empire. When the Divine Phoenix Prince arrived at the six nations, their emperors would be respectful and submissive. He never thought that a royal family would dare to attack his son! And... it was the weakest Cangfeng Nation!
This was undoubtedly a challenge to the supreme authority of his Divine Phoenix Empire, and one could imagine the anger in his heart.
In fact, Cang Wanhe definitely didn't have the guts to order others to attack the Divine Phoenix Prince, and even if he really had such courage, and the top masters of Cang Feng were present, under his order, none of these Cang Feng masters would dare to attack... From beginning to end, it was only Yun Che who attacked Feng Xichen, and he had always deliberately prevented others from being involved - Xia Qingyue wanted to help him, but he stopped her. Because with Yun Che's personality, even if he knew that he could not be a match for the Divine Phoenix Sect, he would never be willing to be bullied.
Cang Wanhe actually spoke up to help Feng Xichen in the end... But unfortunately, in order to hide his own embarrassment and shame, Feng Xichen pointed the finger at Cang Wanhe.
And this, invisibly accelerated the arrival of the Cangfeng catastrophe not long after.
"Another matter is related to the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament." Feng Ximing's expression became serious: "In the past two days, I have received news from the four major sacred places. On the day of the ranking tournament, the four major sacred places will send people to the battlefield in person."
"Humph! In previous Seven Nations Ranking Tournaments, at most one of them would appear. Once the Archaic Profound Ark appears, all four holy places will appear. They say it's for witnessing, but in fact, it's for the Archaic Profound Ark! We never think of getting even a fraction of the benefits of their holy places, but they always want to get a piece of the action when the Archaic Profound Ark appears in my Divine Phoenix City. It's really absurd!" Feng Hengkong said in a bad voice. If he didn't want to provoke, and couldn't afford to provoke the four holy places, he would never let the people from the holy places set foot on the Archaic Profound Ark.
"But this time, the people they came with were a little unusual." Feng Ximing said.
“Unusual?” Feng Hengkong raised his eyes: “Could it be that the Holy Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Heavenly Monarch, or the Sword Master came in person?”
Feng Ximing said, "Of course the masters of these holy places will not come in person. The one coming from the Royal Holy Land is Master Gu Cang, and it is said that he will bring a closed disciple to watch the battle... This disciple is said to be extremely talented, and it is rare to see such a talent among the younger generation of the holy land. He once caused a sensation in the four holy lands. The one coming from the Supreme Sea Palace is Ji Qianrou..."
"What! Ji Qianrou? Why is she here?" Upon hearing the name "Ji Qianrou", Feng Hengkong lost his voice on the spot, and his face, which was originally intimidating without even being angry, twitched for a moment.
“This… I don’t know. If the emperor is unwilling to show up, I will receive him… The person coming from Tianwei Sword Territory is Ling Kun, the seventh elder of Huanjian Territory. The people coming from these three holy places are still normal, but the person coming from Sun and Moon Divine Palace is unexpectedly… Ye Xinghan.”
“Ye Xinghan?” Feng Hengkong frowned fiercely: “The eldest son of Heavenly Monarch Ye Meixie… Young Palace Master Ye Xinghan? What is he doing here!?”
“That’s why I’m here to report to you.” Feng Ximing said quickly, “The Ancient Mysterious Ark has been going on for ten thousand years without any cause or result. Although the Four Sacred Grounds are still paying attention, their interest has long since waned over the years. Those who have been sent over the years are basically not core figures. There’s no reason for Sun Moon Divine Hall to let Ye Xinghan come. If it’s to watch the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament or for training, it’s even more impossible! So I think that Ye Xinghan came here in person, it’s very likely…” Feng Ximing’s teeth clenched violently, and he said slowly, “It’s possible… it’s for Xue’er!”
Feng Hengkong was slightly stunned, and then he flew into a rage, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracking: "What... did you say!?"
Feng Ximing was startled by Feng Hengkong's sudden outburst of anger, but he was not surprised at all. Because the "Xue'er" he mentioned was the most important person in Feng Hengkong's mind. In Feng Hengkong's heart, her importance even exceeded that of the entire Phoenix Divine Sect! She was Feng Hengkong's biggest reverse scale... Anyone who touched her would die!
The same is true for Feng Ximing! "Xue'er" is the most important existence in the world to him, and nothing else can replace her. He said bitterly: "Father should have heard that ten years ago, Ye Xinghan cultivated an evil skill that had been lost in the Sun and Moon Palace for a long time, which increased his strength dramatically. The cultivation of this evil skill requires women with extremely high physiques as the cauldron, so in recent years, Ye Xinghan has secretly searched for a large number of women with special physiques. At the same time, he is lustful and can't be happy without women, which is known to the world... Xue'er made a brief appearance in the imperial city three years ago, and was immediately named the most beautiful woman in the world. At the same time, she is also a divine body. How can Ye Xinghan not covet her... This time he came here in person, ninety-nine percent... for Xue'er!"
Every word Feng Ximing said was filled with deep anger and hatred, as if he wanted to tear Ye Xinghan, who was plotting against "Xue'er", into pieces with his own hands. However, every time he mentioned the word "Xue'er", all his resentment would suddenly turn into gentleness, as if it was the most precious and warmest word in his heart. Even his eyes projected an obsession that was difficult to conceal.
“Asshole!!!!”
Feng Hengkong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He looked at Feng Ximing and suddenly kicked him hard in the abdomen.
Puff!!
Feng Ximing was caught off guard and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body hit the wall behind him heavily. He covered his lower abdomen, slowly stood up, and said painfully: "Father..."
“Hmph! You evil beast, you still have the nerve to call me father!” Feng Hengkong pointed at him and roared, “Xue’er is your biological sister, and you actually dare to harbor desires for her! I thought you had overcome this obstacle with your willpower over the past two years, but I didn’t expect that you haven’t changed at all, and you can’t even control yourself and show it in front of me! You disappoint me so much!”
Feng Ximing knelt on the ground, with a painful look on his face, "Father... I know I am wrong... I know that this thought is intolerable by heaven and earth, and my crime is unforgivable. I have been trying my best to suppress this thought over the years, but... but Xue'er's perfection is simply beyond my will... I really can't do it... And it's not just me, my third brother, fourth brother, seventh brother... and..."
“Shut up!” Feng Hengkong’s eyebrows were raised, and his whole body was emitting extremely terrifying anger: “Xue’er is a treasure bestowed by God on my Phoenix Divine Sect, and is also our greatest hope to be on par with the Holy Land in the past five thousand years! No one can dare to get involved! In this world, there is no man worthy of Xue’er! Not to mention Ye Xinghan, even if the Heavenly Monarch Ye Meixie comes in person, don’t even think about taking advantage of Xue’er! You rebellious sons… you’d better keep all these thoughts that you shouldn’t have in your hearts for the rest of your lives. If you dare to do anything beyond your thoughts, even if you are my own son… I will personally destroy you!”
Feng Ximing said hurriedly, "Father, calm down... Father, rest assured, I have never forgotten that I am Xue'er's brother. I promise you that I will never do anything to make Xue'er unhappy. If anyone dares to bully Xue'er, I will do it even if I risk my life! The same goes for my third brother and the others... We all regard Xue'er as the most important treasure in the world, so how could we do anything to hurt her... Otherwise, we ourselves will not forgive ourselves."
“It’s better this way!” Feng Hengkong’s anger had not subsided. He turned around and said coldly: “Xue’er is now in Qifeng Valley for cultivation. On the day of the ranking match, Xue’er will also be there to watch the match. After all, this is the first Seven Nations ranking match since she was born. When the time comes, you should stay as far away from me as possible. If you dare to get within ten feet of Xue’er, I will break your legs!”
"Yes." Feng Ximing lowered his head, looking gloomy.
"Go down. I'll take note of what you said."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Feng Ximing stood up and walked out of the Shenhuang Hall carefully.
After leaving the Divine Phoenix Palace, Feng Ximing stopped, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and looked at the huge shadow in the sky. His face was constantly intertwined with fascination, resentment, unwillingness, and determination...
“Xue’er… my Xue’er… for you, I can do anything… even if you want to kill me, I will never hesitate… when I become the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix and the leader of the Phoenix Sect… no one can stop me from getting everything from you… Ye Xinghan… if you dare to have ideas about Xue’er… even if you are the Young Master of the Sun Moon Divine Palace… I will definitely destroy you!!”
————————————————————
At the same time, after thirteen days of traveling day and night, Yun Che finally set foot on the land of Divine Phoenix City.
The air in Divine Emperor City was obviously scorching hot, not because the climate here was warmer than that in Blue Wind Imperial City, but because there were many profound practitioners practicing fire-related profound arts here, especially the Phoenix Divine Sect. The core of the Phoenix Divine Sect, Phoenix City, was also located in Divine Phoenix City, so the air here was filled with too much fire.
Although Yun Che had been mentally prepared for Cang Wanhe’s words, the commotion here still gave him a slight surprise.
The size of Shenhuang City was more than twenty times that of Blue Wind Imperial City. Despite this, even at the edge of the city, the population density was still exceptionally shocking. Countless profound practitioners dressed in various costumes shuttled back and forth, and most of them appeared in groups. Moreover, almost everyone released an extremely heavy aura of profound energy... Picking any one of these people at random would be at the level of a sect leader in Blue Wind Country.
Obviously, many of them came early to watch the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament. In the days before and after the war, the level of noise and excitement will inevitably increase exponentially.
“As expected of the Divine Phoenix Empire’s imperial city, the aura, atmosphere, and strength here are definitely not comparable to the Blue Wind Nation… There is almost a world of difference.”
Yun Che couldn’t help but sigh.
He did not disguise himself, because his fame was only in Cangfeng, and no one in the Divine Phoenix Empire would know him. Moreover, there were countless strong men in Divine Phoenix City, and if his disguise was discovered, it would alert others and cause big trouble.
However, when he needed to give his name, he naturally would not use his real name.
“Look up!” Jasmine’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind, and Yun Che immediately raised his head and looked upward.
Above the Divine Phoenix City, boat-shaped flying objects would occasionally fly by at extremely high speeds. These flying objects were either high or low, large or small, the shortest was only a few feet, and the longest was nearly twenty feet. Although Yun Che had never seen such things in Blue Wind Country, he had only heard of them, but in the Blue Cloud Continent, he had seen them more than once...
Xuanzhou!
A very luxurious flying tool, with many advantages that flying mysterious beasts cannot match. However, its cost is extremely low, and its power source - mysterious stones and mysterious crystals are extremely expensive. The amount of mysterious stones and mysterious crystals consumed by an ordinary-sized mysterious boat for one hour of flight is a huge number that can make ordinary people stunned when converted into mysterious coins. Therefore, there are very few people who own a mysterious boat, and even fewer people who can use it... In the Blue Wind Country, it is estimated that only the royal family and the four major sects own a mysterious boat, but they have never been seen driving it.
But in Shenhuang City, there are mysterious boats flying all over the sky, which shows the strength of the country.
Looking around these profound boats, Yun Che suddenly saw a huge shadow in the distant sky... It was like a huge black cloud, floating far above the sky, blocking the light shining down to a large extent. Its shape, as well as its floating posture, was like a huge strange-shaped profound boat.
“That is… Could it be, that is the legendary… Primordial Profound Ark?” Yun Che whispered, and then raised his eyebrows slightly: “It seems a little wrong again. Father said that the size of the Primordial Profound Ark is comparable to the entire Blue Wind Imperial City, but it doesn’t look that big at all. Could it be that Father is exaggerating too much?”
“Humph, that’s not an exaggeration at all.” Jasmine said disdainfully, “Because the height of this profound boat… is a full twenty thousand feet!”
