Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Amidst the deafening roar, the continuously exploding phoenix flames turned large areas of the sea and the sky into a shocking red color. When the exploding flames fell, the island areas they touched would instantly turn into boiling magma.
The terrifying sound and power had already alarmed the Supreme Ocean Palace from afar, but the raging Phoenix flames showed no signs of stopping, and instead became hotter and more violent.
“Princess Snow, stop it! That barrier cannot be forcibly broken, not even by the combined efforts of the Four Saints!!”
Zi Ji also had the cultivation level of the eighth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, but he had to flee far away from the terrifying power of the divine flame, and he was still retreating.
“Brother Yun…Brother Yun!!” In front of the barrier of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, Feng Xue’er bombarded the barrier with Phoenix Flame like a madman. However, no matter how hard the Phoenix Flame bombarded, the barrier never showed a single crack, not even a slight tremor. Only occasionally did a few wisps of light like water waves appear.
“Sister Xue’er, don’t go on!!”
Xia Yuanba was also forced far away. He tried to get closer several times, but Feng Xue'er's Phoenix Flame was too terrifying. In the blink of an eye, he was forced a mile away by the aftermath of the Phoenix Flame explosion. He could only shout anxiously and helplessly, but no matter how he and Zi Ji tried to dissuade him, Feng Xue'er turned a deaf ear to him.
At this time, the Phoenix Flame subsided, and the flames that had completely filled the entire island finally faded slightly. Xia Yuanba thought that Feng Xue'er had finally regained some of her sanity, and just as he was about to move forward... a huge, dazzling fire lotus bloomed brilliantly with Feng Xue'er's body as the center.
BOOM!!!!
A sky-high heat wave came towards them. Zi Ji and Xia Yuanba felt a tightness in their chests at the same time, as if they were hit by a sledgehammer from a fiery purgatory. They flew backwards, and their clothes and hair quickly burned.
This was Feng Xue'er's full-strength Burning Star Demon Lotus, and it was also the most extreme power that the Phoenix Flame in this world could unleash! It was more than ten times stronger than Yun Che's Phoenix Flame at its extreme state!
“Sister Xue’er…quickly…stop it!!”
Xia Yuanba's screams were filled with pain. He retreated with all his strength, his entire body as if wrapped in the flames of purgatory, every inch of his skin burning in agony. It was a long time before the burning sensation finally subsided to a point he could bear. He hurriedly extinguished the flames on his body, gasping for breath, and every breath he exhaled was as hot as a blazing flame.
After a long time, the Phoenix Fire Storm finally stopped, and the flames began to fade quickly. Xia Yuanba was panting heavily, trying his best to calm his internal breath, and then he realized that he had been forced ten miles away from the island where the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave was located.
Although he had seen Yun Che’s Phoenix Flame, he had never fought with Feng Xue’er. Only now did he realize with horror that this beautiful girl who was as beautiful as a fallen fairy and who delicately called him “big brother” could actually be so terrifying!
On the other side, although Zi Ji was not forced as far away as Xia Yuanba, the shock in his pupils was no less than his… His profound strength was the same as Feng Xue’er’s, both at the eighth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and he was even slightly better in realm. But at this moment, he was extremely sure that if he fought with Feng Xue’er, he would definitely lose!
The mysterious power of the eighth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, coupled with the purest Phoenix bloodline and Phoenix flame power, can definitely rival the mysterious masters of the ninth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm in the Holy Land!
The flames faded, but the sea breeze was still scorching. However, the original island disappeared, leaving only a huge sea-blue barrier covering the sea, isolating the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave. And the island outside the barrier disappeared under Feng Xue'er's Burning Star Demon Lotus without even a trace of dust left.
"Why is this happening...Brother Yun...Brother Yun..."
Feng Xue'er floated alone in the sky above the barrier, her shoulders twitching slightly. She stared blankly at the blue barrier without any scars, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness, and she whispered, every word breaking her heart.
“Sister Xue’er, don’t worry too much.” Xia Yuanba approached quickly from a distance. He looked quite miserable, with his face and body all burnt black. His outer clothes were burned with holes all over, and his hair and eyebrows were half fuzzy. However, he had no resentment towards Feng Xue’er in his heart. Instead, he liked her even more… because she collapsed for Yun Che.
“My brother-in-law is such a smart man… Since he took the initiative to stay in there, he must have a necessary purpose and a way to get out.” Xia Yuanba comforted Feng Xue’er, but his palms were sweating and he was anxious.
“But… it’s so dangerous in there. Senior Zi also said that once you’re locked up in there, you’ll… you’ll…” Feng Xue’er’s voice trembled, and she was about to cry.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Xia Yuanba tried to comfort him in the calmest tone: “Brother-in-law also decided to stay in there instead of being locked up by force, so he must be sure to get out. Of course, you have to believe what brother-in-law and Mr. Zi say! Brother-in-law himself said just now that he will be out in a few days. And…”
Xia Yuanba secretly glanced at Zi Ji's location and said in a voice transmission: "Don't forget, my brother-in-law has the Ancient Mysterious Ark on him. He can travel hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. It must be very easy to get out of it."
The four words "Ancient Mysterious Ark" instantly lit up Feng Xue'er's tearful eyes. Xia Yuanba's words were not just pale consolation, but they calmed her panicked and confused heart a little.
“I also think there’s no need to worry too much.” Zi Ji flew over from afar. Although she was also burned in many places, she still had a calm attitude: “Although I am sure that no one in this world can break this barrier, don’t forget that Yun Che’s master is an otherworldly expert. Back then, he was able to bring Yun Che back from the Primordial Profound Ark. It might be easy for him to bring Yun Che out of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave.”
“Right, right, that must be the case.” Xia Yuanba nodded quickly in agreement, but his heart was not at all relaxed… because he knew clearly that Yun Che’s “master” was fake.
“What happened!!”
A loud shout came from the north, and at the same time, a wave of air quickly approached from far away. Both the tone and the movements were extremely hurried.
Xia Yuanba turned and looked towards the north. A man in a blue robe was flying towards him at an astonishing speed, dragging behind him a wave that was stirred up by his profound energy and was several dozen feet high. Behind him, there were four people in red robes following far behind him.
"The Grand Elder of the Ocean Palace, Mo Chenfeng!" Xia Yuanba blurted out.
Seeing the four men in red behind them, Feng Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then flew over excitedly and greeted them: "Father, Grandpa, Crown Prince, and... Great Grandpa!?"
Seeing Feng Xue'er coming, the four people in red also stopped, and each of them showed deep excitement on their faces. Feng Hengkong said excitedly: "It's Xue'er... It's really Xue'er!"
Feng Xue'er had just used the Phoenix Flame to attack the barrier with all her strength. The overly powerful Phoenix aura spread far away, hundreds of miles away, and also alarmed the Phoenix Divine Sect in the Ocean Palace. And in this world, the only one who could release such a pure Phoenix aura was Feng Xue'er!
Therefore, the four of them no longer cared about anything else and headed south with all their strength. It was here that they actually met Feng Xue'er, who had been away from the sect for several months.
"Grandfather?" Hearing Feng Xue'er's cry, Xia Yuanba's eyes instantly fell on the man in red on the far right. He had white hair, a face as red as fire, and a pair of pupils that were like two burning flames, making his eyes feel a burning sensation just from eye contact.
Sister Xue'er's great grandfather... That's right! He is the number one person in the Phoenix Sect mentioned by Master... Feng Zukui!!
Xia Yuanba had heard from Master Gu Cang himself that Feng Zukui's profound strength had already reached the late ninth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm a hundred years ago. Due to the Phoenix Flame, his overall strength was even slightly better than Master Gu Cang!
He is also the undisputed number one person in Tianxuan outside of the four holy places!
Feng Zukui rarely appeared in the world, and even few of the Phoenix disciples had seen him. But it was not too surprising that he would come to this Demon Sword Conference.
"Mr. Zi, what happened here?"
The sea surface below was left with only the barrier of isolation, and the island area disappeared without a trace. Mo Chenfeng frowned, his face full of shock.
Zi Ji waved his hand lightly and said, “There is no evil enemy. It’s just that Yun Che is still in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave.”
"What!?" Mo Chenfeng was shocked.
"However, it's not that he didn't have time to get out, but that he took the initiative to stay inside." Zi Ji said: "From what he said, it seems that because the Netherworld Udumbara Flower has not fully bloomed, it cannot be picked, so he has to wait inside until it fully blooms."
“This…” Mo Chenfeng’s face twitched for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: “That’s the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave. Being locked inside is a dead end! The Sea Emperor once said that even she couldn’t survive more than three hours in there! He took the initiative to stay in there… He is simply courting death!!”
Zi Ji shook his head: "If it were someone else, it would be true. But Yun Che once escaped from the Primordial Profound Ark alive. Moreover, although he is arrogant, he is not so arrogant and ignorant as to despise the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave at the cost of his life."
He turned around and looked at the barrier of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, and said calmly: "I really want to see if he can really survive in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave for a long time and escape from this isolation barrier... and successfully obtain the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that no one has ever been able to approach alive!"
Mo Chenfeng was silent.
“However, my expectation will only last until this time tomorrow at most.” Zi Ji continued: “His ‘Master’ may have the ability to reach the sky, but Yun Che himself is not as strong as the middle stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and his vitality is far inferior. Even the Sea Emperor cannot survive in a place for more than three hours… If he is not brought out by his ‘Master’ for more than a day, then there is no possibility that he can still be alive. By then, his ‘Master’ may not know that he is trapped in it, or he may not exist at all.”
“Mr. Zi did remind me. The elemental laws and spatial laws of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave are very different from those of the outside world. In it, all the sound transmission jades and various spatial mystical instruments are completely ineffective. If Yun Che stayed in there with the confidence of transmitting sound to his ‘master’ to come and save him, or to escape through a spatial mystical instrument, then he really dug his own grave.” Mo Chenfeng said slowly.
"..." Zi Ji's brows sank again, and his originally calm face showed a little more hesitation and regret: "Anyway, let's go back to the Sea Palace and report to the Sea Emperor. Focus on preparing for the Demon Sword Conference in the next few days, and don't be distracted by any external affairs."
"Yes." Mo Chenfeng nodded and turned away neatly. It didn't matter whether the island where the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave was located was destroyed or not. Because the barrier that sealed off the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave could not be destroyed no matter what.
"Xue'er, why are you here?" Feng Hengkong asked excitedly and concernedly. The three people who came with him - Feng Ximing, Feng Tianwei, and... Feng Zukui!
“Xue’er, are you…are you okay? In the past few months in Blue Wind Country, has anyone…especially that bastard Yun Che, bullied you?” Feng Ximing’s hands were trembling slightly, his face was red, and his eyes were fixed on Feng Xue’er. He was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
“I came here with Brother Yun. I didn’t tell my father before because I wasn’t sure whether Brother Yun would bring me along. Great Grandfather, you’re here too. Xue’er hasn’t seen you for… a long time.” Feng Xue’er bowed gently to Feng Zukui.
“During the three years when Xue’er was in a coma, I visited Xue’er many times.” Feng Zukui was in a very good mood when he saw Feng Xue’er. His face, which was originally dignified without anger, was now full of a doting smile. He looked Feng Xue’er up and down, and his eyes suddenly glowed red. The smile on his face deepened a little. He nodded heavily and sighed, “Xue’er, you are really worthy of being the treasure of our entire family. It’s only been a few years, and your Phoenix profound strength has far surpassed your father and grandfather. Maybe by this time next year, even an old immortal like me will be far surpassed by you, hahahaha!”
Feng Zukui raised his head and laughed, laughing with great joy. Since Feng Hengkong could remember, he had only seen Feng Zukui laugh four times, and each time, it was because of Feng Xue'er. Especially this time, he laughed more happily than any other time. He took a step forward, bowed and said, "Grandfather, speaking of which, Xue'er's transformation is thanks to Yun Che. Yun Che taught Xue'er the fifth and sixth levels of the 'Phoenix Ode to the World' on the Primordial Profound Ark three years ago, which enabled Xue'er to integrate the Phoenix Flame Power and awaken it at a rapid speed."
“Although Yun Che caused great harm to our sect a few months ago, he is sincere to Xue’er. He first saved her life, and then gave her a chance to rebuild her…” Feng Hengkong closed his eyes: “So, over the past few months, I have willingly swallowed the revenge for my son’s murder. I also have no intention of pursuing the revenge for the two great elders.”
Feng Tianwei glanced around and frowned as he said, “Xue’er, you said you came here with Yun Che, then why are you the only one here?”
These words made Feng Xue'er's delicate body tremble slightly, and two tears fell from her beautiful eyes almost instantly. Although Yun Che was the person she trusted most in this world, and although she knew about the existence of the Primordial Profound Ark...but the worry and fear in her heart were too intense to stop at all.
Feng Hengkong and the other two were stunned. Feng Ximing even jumped up, his hair standing on end, his facial features twisted, and he roared like a wild beast: "Did...did he bully you? Did...he...where is he! Bastard! Beast! I'm going to kill him...I'm going to cut him into pieces!"
Feng Hengkong glared at Feng Ximing fiercely and said in a low voice with a frown: "Xue'er, what's going on?"
Feng Xue'er bit her lip for a long while before she finally uttered a sobbing voice: "Brother Yun...he was imprisoned in the Moon Slaughter Devil's Cave."
"What!!" Feng Hengkong and Feng Tianwei's faces changed drastically at the same time. Feng Ximing was stunned, and then his face instantly revealed an expression of ecstasy that could not be concealed.
In addition to the Four Sacred Grounds, there is another sect that knows about the existence of the Moon-Slaughtering Devil Cave... and that is the Divine Phoenix Sect.
“Don’t worry too much.” Feng Zukui’s expression was calm. “I just heard the conversation between Mr. Zi of the Ocean Palace and Elder Mo. Yun Che seemed to want to stay in there on his own initiative, so he must be confident that he can get out. And his master is the legendary ‘Old Man Duotian’ who has the power to reach the sky. So being sealed in the Moon-Slaying Devil Cave may not be a sure death for Yun Che.”
“Right, right, right!” Feng Xue’er’s tears made Feng Heng’s heart feel like it was pierced by needles. He nodded hurriedly in agreement, “Your great grandfather is right! Others trapped in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave would surely die, but Yun Che is different! Back then, not even the Primordial Profound Ark could hold him back. You should go back to the Ocean Palace with your father first. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, he’ll have already come out.”
Feng Xue'er raised her jade hand, wiped away the tears on her snowy face, and said softly: "I know... I believe more than anyone that Brother Yun will... will come out safely. So, I will wait here for Brother Yun to come out. Great grandfather, grandfather, father, brother Crown Prince, Xue'er is fine, you should go back to the Ocean Palace first. Xue'er will go to see you as soon as Brother Yun comes out."
“Hiss…” Feng Xue’er’s words and the determination on her face caused Feng Ximing’s face, which had just relaxed, to twist again in an instant. He clenched his hands tightly and whispered viciously: Yun Che~~~~Go to hell in the eighteenth level of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave! Die! Die! Die!!!
"Xue'er..."
“No need to persuade her.” Xia Yuanba came over and said solemnly, “No matter how much you persuade her, she won’t leave now. You guys go back to the Ocean Palace first. I will stay here. When she calms down a little, I will persuade her to go back.”
“He is Xia Yuanba, the legendary Saint Domain disciple who possesses the Overlord Divine Vein! He is related to Yun Che by marriage.” Feng Hengkong transmitted a message to Feng Tianwei and Feng Zukui.
The way Feng Tianwei and Feng Zukui looked at Xia Yuanba suddenly changed.
Feng Hengkong frowned, then sighed softly: "In that case... Xue'er, we are in the Flame Heart Palace northwest of the Ocean Palace. If anything happens, please let us know through voice transmission... No matter how anxious and worried you are, your father will be even more anxious and worried than you. No matter what, don't force yourself or make things difficult for yourself."
Feng Xue'er's beautiful eyes were hazy: "Father..."
“Father, this is the Sea Palace after all. How can you leave Xue’er here alone? Please allow me to stay and accompany you…”
"Shut up!"
Before Feng Ximing could finish his words, Feng Hengkong interrupted him harshly. Without even looking at Feng Ximing, he turned to Feng Tianwei and Feng Zukui and said, "Father, Grandfather, let's leave for now. Xue'er will have trouble calming down if we stay here."
The four people from the Phoenix Sect left, and Zi Ji followed them. Only Feng Xue'er and Xia Yuanba were left on the calm sea of the barrier. They stared at the sea-blue barrier silently for a long time.
“Brother-in-law, you will be fine!” Xia Yuanba clenched his fists and repeated this to himself over and over again.
“Brother Yun, Xue’er will wait here for you to come out safely.” Feng Xue’er placed her hands on her chest, closed her beautiful eyes, and whispered with her snowy lips: “If Brother Yun doesn’t come out for one day, Xue’er will wait for one day. If he doesn’t come out for a year, Xue’er will wait for a year… If… If Brother Yun never comes back, Xue’er will always… Always be here with Brother Yun…”
