The Phoenix Divine Sect was the largest sect in the Profound Sky Continent. Although it was slightly inferior to the Four Sacred Grounds in terms of overall strength, no sect in the entire Profound Sky Continent could match it in terms of scale. It was also the only sect in the Profound Sky Continent that had the ability and qualifications to challenge the Four Sacred Grounds.
At the same time, the Phoenix Sect has a unique feature that is unique to the continent: it is both a sect and a royal force. The Phoenix Sect has two core bases, one is Phoenix City, and the other is the Phoenix Palace! Its branches are spread throughout the entire Phoenix Continent, and without exception, they are the overlords of their respective regions.
There is no doubt that the Phoenix Sect holds the strongest power and the highest political power among the seven Tianxuan nations. Moreover, both aspects are overwhelming. The other six nations have to pay tribute to the Shenhuang Empire in disguise every year, without exception... especially the weakest Cangfeng Nation.
Shenhuang Palace.
Feng Hengkong, a name that resounded throughout the Profound Sky, dominated the world, and was known to everyone. Because he was the current leader of the Phoenix Sect and the Emperor of the Phoenix Empire, he possessed unparalleled profound strength and held the power to look down on the entire Profound Sky. He was a mythical figure in the hearts of the people of Profound Sky. For the other six countries, the emperor was already unattainable, and the Emperor of the Phoenix, Feng Hengkong, was far beyond the emperor of his own country, a figure like the Emperor of Heaven. They felt a deep sense of oppression just by thinking of his name.
In the other six countries, the emperor's main hall is heavily guarded, and countless top masters secretly guard it. It is the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace. But the Shenhuang Hall where Feng Hengkong is located is quiet. There are no guards around. Even the guards patrolling the palace will deliberately avoid this place... This is absolutely incredible in the palace of other countries, but it is normal in the Shenhuang Palace. What a joke, Feng Hengkong is not only the emperor, but also the leader of the first sect of Tianxuan - the Phoenix Sect! What kind of strength is that! With his strength, why does he need protection from others? In the entire Tianxuan, how many people are qualified and capable of protecting him?
In the entire Tianxuan, how many people have the courage and ability to break into the Shenhuang Imperial Palace?
In the Shenhuang Palace, Feng Hengkong put his hands behind his back and stared at the phoenix totem on the wall. His eyes were solemn and focused, as if he was thinking about something. The emperor's clothes were usually golden and embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons, but Feng Hengkong's imperial robe was fiery red and embroidered with the image of a phoenix burning the sky.
He is over 150 years old this year, but his face is white and wrinkle-free, his eyebrows are sharp and his eyes are bright, he looks like he is only 40 years old at most... With his cultivation, if it is not for the purpose of showing more emperor style and showing the difference in generation between him and his children, it would be easy for him to keep himself in his early twenties. He has 16 children in total, including 15 sons and 1 daughter. The eldest son Feng Ximing is already 100 years old this year, and the youngest daughter just turned 16 this year.
And his thirteenth son was Feng Xichen, who was beaten up by Yun Che.
After a long while, Feng Hengkong's eyes finally showed a slight change. Without turning around, he suddenly said indifferently: "Ming'er, what's the matter?"
Behind him, a young man in red, who looked to be about thirty years old, appeared. He walked over without making any sound, and had been standing behind Feng Hengkong for quite some time, without making any sound, for fear of disturbing him. At this moment, Feng Hengkong finally spoke, and the young man immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, your son is here to see you... Your Highness, your son has two things to report to you."
Feng Hengkong turned around, his heroic face, majestic without anger, showed no ripples, and he uttered two extremely calm words: "Speak."
“Yes, father.” Feng Ximing, as Feng Hengkong’s eldest son, was also the young master of the Phoenix Sect and the crown prince of the Phoenix Empire. He obviously still had a deep respect for Feng Hengkong. His posture and words were all well-behaved, and he would never dare to be presumptuous. He half-lowered his head and said, “The first matter is actually just a small matter, and it is not worthy of your father’s concern. However, this matter is related to my thirteenth brother, so I am very hesitant whether to tell your father about it.”
“Hmph!” Feng Hengkong frowned slightly: “As my Divine Phoenix Crown Prince, when did you become so indecisive and hesitant! If you want to say something, just say it. If you don’t want to say something, just shut up. Why are you talking so much nonsense!”
Feng Hengkong's rebuke was no small matter. Feng Ximing's whole body shuddered, and he quickly said, "Father is right. I know I am wrong. Although this matter is small, it concerns the bloodline of our clan, so it is better to report it to Father."
"My clan's bloodline? Since it's related to my clan's bloodline, how can it be a trivial matter!" Feng Hengkong stared and said, "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"Yes... Father, do you still remember the name 'Yun Che' that I mentioned to you two years ago?" Feng Ximing asked.
“Yun Che?” Feng Hengkong’s eyes moved slightly: “Are you talking about the person who released the Phoenix Flame in public at the Cangfeng Nation Qualifying Tournament? Didn’t he die two years ago?”
“Replying to Father, Yun Che was originally locked up in the basement of Blue Wind Nation’s Heavenly Sword Villa. Everyone thought he was doomed, but he escaped alive. After receiving the news, I asked my thirteenth brother to personally go to Blue Wind Nation to deliver the invitation to the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament. The main purpose was to deal with this matter. After meeting Yun Che, my thirteenth brother discovered that he indeed had the bloodline of our Divine Phoenix Sect! His flame was undoubtedly the Phoenix Flame of our sect!”
“Too much has been done to realize this!” Feng Hengkong’s expression slightly changed. Bloodline was the core and biggest taboo of the Divine Phoenix Sect. The first rule of the Divine Phoenix Sect was that the bloodline must not be leaked. He said in a deep voice: “Who on earth was so bold as to allow the bloodline of our sect to leak out… How was this matter handled? Have we thoroughly investigated the man named Yun Che, as well as his parents and all his relatives?”
Feng Ximing said, "I sent someone to investigate Yun Che's parents and relatives two years ago, but unfortunately, Yun Che's parents seemed to have died at the hands of his enemies not long after he was born. The person who raised him was a man named Xiao Lie, who had no blood relationship with him. And in the end, because of this matter, Yun Che was exposed and kicked out of the house."
"His biological parents should have died long ago, otherwise they would not have been absent for nearly twenty years with their son. However, these are secondary. About five months ago, when Thirteenth Brother went to Blue Wind Country to deal with this matter personally, an accident occurred."
"Accident? What does accident mean?" Feng Hengkong frowned again.
Feng Ximing's face began to fill with anger, and he said in a slightly low voice: "After confirming that Yun Che possessed the bloodline of our sect, Thirteenth Brother wanted to capture him on the spot, but he did not expect to encounter obstruction, and ultimately... ultimately failed."
“Asshole!” Feng Hengkong threw his hands violently. “Chen’er has Phoenix bloodline and is extremely talented. He is hard to find a rival among his peers in my Divine Phoenix Nation. In a small, humble country like Cangfeng, he can walk sideways. Who can stop him? He is my Divine Phoenix Prince, my son Feng Hengkong. Who has the guts to stop him?”
“Father, calm down!” Feng Ximing said immediately, “Your Highness, I didn’t expect this result. Although Yun Che is known as the best of the younger generation of Cang Feng, he only has a ridiculous Earth Profound Realm cultivation. It would be effortless for Thirteenth Brother to take him down.”
“But I didn’t expect that Yun Che, relying on his status as the number one of the younger generation of Cang Feng, would become the son-in-law of Cang Feng Emperor Cang Wanhe! When my thirteenth brother was in the Cang Feng Imperial Palace, it happened to be the wedding ceremony of Yun Che and Princess Cang Feng. Since it was a royal wedding, the royal family naturally invited all the heroes of Cang Feng. Although there were very few masters in Cang Feng, there were also several thrones. On that day, almost all of those thrones were present. When my thirteenth brother wanted to take Yun Che down, the Cang Feng Emperor angrily gave an order, and the thrones present, as well as some Tian Xuan Xuan practitioners, all took action under the imperial order… After all, my thirteenth brother was too young, and he only brought two guardians in the early stage of Wang Xuan. He never expected that he would face almost all the top masters of Cang Feng at the same time, and was ultimately outnumbered…”
"How can... this be possible!!"
Feng Hengkong was immediately enraged. As he released his anger, a wave of extremely hot air instantly filled the entire Divine Phoenix Hall, causing the air to distort greatly. His sword-like eyebrows sank, and his voice was extremely low: "How dare a mere small country like Cangfeng be so disobedient and attack my son Feng Hengkong in groups! Where does such ambition and courage come from!"
"I just learned about this yesterday, and I am also very angry. However, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Thirteenth Brother. Being defeated by the small country of Blue Wind is undoubtedly a great shame, so Thirteenth Brother is ashamed to tell anyone about it. In addition, Father has been preparing for the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament and the Primordial Profound Ark for the past few months, and Thirteenth Brother is afraid that this matter will distract Father, so he has been keeping it secret... However, the Blue Wind Country is obviously also deeply afraid and has blocked the news. Therefore, after a few months, there is no news of this matter. In addition, Thirteenth Brother has not reported this matter, and there is another more important reason..."
"explain!"
“Yun Che said at the time that he would represent Blue Wind Nation and personally participate in this Seven Nation Ranking Tournament.” Feng Ximing said solemnly: “So, at this critical time when preparing for such a major event as the Primordial Profound Ark, it doesn’t matter if a small matter of a Blue Wind kid is dragged on for a few months.”
“Humph!” Feng Hengkong said angrily: “He actually dared to come? Did he know that he couldn’t escape and came here to die?!”
"I think so too. His resistance that day was probably just a desire to seek a few months of peace at all costs." Feng Ximing sneered and said, "So there is no need for your father to get angry about this little thing. If he really dares to come to our Divine Phoenix Empire, don't even think about leaving. If he doesn't come, at worst, your son will go and solve it himself. After all, as your father said, although I am a humble person, the matter of bloodline is a big deal."
Feng Xichen had indeed just mentioned this matter to Feng Ximing yesterday, but his statement was greatly different from the facts of that day… On that day, Feng Xichen and the two King Profound Dharma Protectors who accompanied him were beaten to a pulp by Yun Che alone, and were even stepped on. However, he told Feng Ximing that he was besieged by almost all the King Profound masters of Cang Feng, and was outnumbered and retreated… At the same time, the two Dharma Protectors who went with him also testified to this statement.
Because he, as the dignified Prince of the Divine Phoenix, would never admit it, nor would he let anyone know that he was beaten to a pulp by a man who was born in the small country of Cangfeng, was only at the Earthly Profound Realm, and was much younger than him! Because that was a shame that was branded deep in his soul and would never disappear in his lifetime! How could he let others know about this shameful mark!
“How can this be absurd… It really is absurd!” Feng Hengkong clenched his hands tightly, his whole body filled with anger: “I was still hesitant, but now it seems that this small country of Cangfeng no longer has any need to exist!”
