Feng Xue'er's profound energy was very gentle and peaceful, without any aggression or oppression, but everyone present felt a gentle, yet completely irresistible suffocation.
Yun Che was the closest to Feng Xue'er, and his feelings were the most real. He looked at Feng Xue'er, his heart filled with deep shock and disbelief, as well as an indescribable sense of unreality.
When Xia Yuanba arrived, Yun Che had clearly felt the domineering aura on him. However, although Feng Xue'er's aura was not as strong and domineering as Xia Yuanba's, the feeling it gave Yun Che was much more vast and ethereal than Xia Yuanba's...
It's like the difference between a calm ocean and raging waves!
Xia Yuanba's sudden and terrifying strength surprised Yun Che and made him unbelievable, but it was not enough to shock Yun Che to the point of losing color. He was sure that as long as he was given enough time, he could also reach that level. But Feng Xue'er's aura... gave Yun Che the feeling that... a huge power that did not belong to this world at all! It was a world that he could not touch or catch up with at his current level.
She saved me, taught me the Phoenix Ode... She was as beautiful as an angel, as flawless as an elf, loved the pure snow, had the purest smile, the most ethereal voice, called me "Brother Yun", held his pinky finger, cuddled up to him, and danced for him in the snow...
She was actually... in such a state that he couldn't even look up to her... like a myth, a dream...
He was certain that these feelings were not illusions, because his sight was facing the seats of the four holy grounds... He could see very clearly the extremely drastic changes in expression on the faces of the people from the four holy grounds... The changes in expression were many times more drastic than when Xia Yuanba, the eighteen-year-old Overlord, appeared.
He finally began to understand why Princess Xue's status in the Phoenix Sect was so respected and special... She sat on the same level as Feng Hengkong, and even the Crown Prince had to sit in the second seat. He also understood why Feng Hengkong's protection of Feng Xue'er reached such an extreme...
"Master, what is her strength...exactly what level is it?"
Xia Yuanba also felt an indescribable sense of oppression from Feng Xue'er. With his current profound strength realm, he was still unable to detect the other party's level after Feng Xue'er released her profound strength. Looking at the shocked expression on Master Gu Cang's face, Xia Yuanba could not help but ask.
Master Gu Cang restrained his expression and took a long breath before calming down. He said, "She is the Snow Princess of the Divine Phoenix Empire that I mentioned to you on the way here... Feng Xue'er. She is only sixteen years old this year, and her profound strength... is actually... half-step... Junxuan!"
“!!!!” Xia Yuanba was stunned for a moment, unable to utter a word for a long time. He was no longer the Xia Yuanba who had a vague idea of the level back then. He knew very well that a sixteen-year-old half-step to the profound realm was a terrifying concept! !
“It seems that the rumor is true…” Master Gu Cang muttered to himself in a very low voice, words that Xia Yuanba did not understand.
"It seems that the rumor is true." Almost at the same time, Ling Kun glanced at Ye Xinghan and said exactly the same words.
"Of course it's true!" Ye Xinghan was shaking with excitement, his eyes emitting unprecedented heat: "This news was told to me by 'that person', how could it be false. And 'that person' will immediately help me get this most perfect woman... the most perfect furnace! If I can get her and the 'Nine Profound Exquisite Body' mentioned by Elder Ling at the same time, I will throw away all other women without hesitation! !"
Ye Xinghan looked so excited that he was almost crazy. When he mentioned "that person", his eyes instantly swept across a red figure in the field.
“Haha, my vision, Ling Kun, is never wrong. I believe that it won’t be long before the Young Palace Master will become the strongest person in Tianxuan, an unrivaled emperor… Congratulations to the Young Palace Master first.” Ling Kun said with a smile with narrowed eyes.
Except for Gu Cang, who was the Emperor, the three people from the Holy Land who often came into contact with the Emperor, and the people in the Phoenix Divine Sect who knew Feng Xue'er's secret, no one in the audience could detect Feng Xue'er's profound strength level, but they could feel that it was a terrifying level that was like the sky. In comparison, Yun Che, who was right in front of her, had a weak aura that was almost non-existent.
Princess Snow was famous throughout the world because she was the only princess of the Phoenix Sect, and more because of her peerless beauty as the "most beautiful woman in the sky". No one had expected that her profound strength would be so terrifying. Even though they saw it with their own eyes and felt it in person, they were still stunned for a long time, unable to come back to their senses, and even more unable to believe it.
At this moment, the phoenix flame on Feng Xue'er's body suddenly went out, and the golden streak between her eyebrows also disappeared.
Yun Che stared at her blankly... He really wanted to look into her eyes, to know if her gaze towards him was still gentle, trusting, and intimate... or was it filled with anger, resentment, disappointment, and sadness...
Feng Xue'er suddenly turned around at this moment and said to Feng Hengkong, "Father, Xue'er suddenly has a question. Can I ask you to answer it?"
Feng Hengkong was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Xue'er, go ahead."
Feng Xue'er nodded and said softly, "Father once mentioned the rules of the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament to Xue'er. If Xue'er remembers correctly, in the Ranking Tournament, a country should only be able to send out a maximum of ten people. The ten participants from our Divine Phoenix Nation... Fourteenth Brother, and Senior Brother Feibai, have all been defeated by Yun... Che, which means that our Divine Phoenix Nation has already lost to Blue Wind Nation. So, why didn't Father immediately announce that Blue Wind Nation had won? Why did Father ask Xue'er to come here?"
The whole place was silent. Everyone knew the purpose of Feng Hengkong's move. This had nothing to do with the ranking battle. He wanted Feng Xue'er to play because he wanted Feng Xue'er to show off her amazing strength after the disastrous defeat in the bloodline and ranking battle, in order to restore the strength, face, and dignity of the Phoenix Divine Sect.
Otherwise, the entire Profound Sky Continent will know after today that the Phoenix Bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Sect was completely defeated by another Phoenix Bloodline that suddenly appeared. By then, not only the six countries, but even the citizens of the Divine Phoenix Empire will gradually have deeper and deeper doubts.
And Feng Xue’er also did it. The profound energy she revealed just now in those few breaths shocked even the people of the Holy Land, not to mention the people of the Seven Nations.
Therefore, Feng Xue'er seemed to have asked a very stupid question, but this question was a little difficult to answer. Because the essence of it was that the Phoenix Sect was just trying to save face by taking advantage of Princess Xue's unwillingness after the disastrous defeat... They were even willing to, or had to, expose the trump card that they had protected and hidden for many years to the eyes of the world.
Feng Hengkong did not speak for a moment. Feng Ximing quickly stood up and said, “Xue’er, the reason is actually very simple. What you need to do now is to gently raise your hand and knock Yun Che down. As for the reason, your father will tell you later. Although the ranking battle has ended, and in the end, it is indeed that we lost to Yun Che, but we must prove to the world that although we lost, it was only because we did not send out the strongest. Whether it is strength or bloodline, no one in our Phoenix Divine Sect can match us.”
Feng Xue'er slowly shook her head, then said softly, "If... that's the case... Xue'er is willing to admit defeat directly."
Feng Xue'er's words moved Yun Che, and everyone in the Divine Phoenix Sect was shocked. Feng Feiyan immediately said, "Xue'er, this matter is not as simple as you think. This concerns the honor and dignity of our entire Divine Phoenix Empire."
Feng Xue'er said softly, "In Xue'er's world, Xue'er has no idea why such a thing would be related to the honor and dignity of the Divine Phoenix Nation. Does honor mean winning in a losing situation? Does dignity mean being strong in a weak situation?"
“Why? Yun Che clearly won against Fourteenth Brother. It was a fair one-on-one fight. Fourteenth Brother lost. But the nine brothers who had agreed not to fight again joined forces and came on the field. And right from the start, they launched a fatal attack… Yun Che also clearly won against Fei Bai and the others, so why didn’t they announce that he had won? Instead, they wanted me… someone who clearly shouldn’t have participated in the ranking battle to go on the field…”
"The Phoenix bloodline in him is obviously not from our lineage, so why do you insist on denying it?"
No one would have thought that Feng Xue'er, who was usually as gentle as water, would suddenly say such words... like a question, like confusion, and like a question.
Feng Ximing opened his mouth and said reluctantly: "Xue'er, my brother knows that you are kind-hearted and may think that we have gone too far. But, but...some things are really not as simple as you think...Besides, his bloodline cannot be completely confirmed to not be from our Phoenix Divine Sect, it's just that there is a slight possibility..."
“No, my brother is wrong.” Feng Xue’er shook her head gently: “Xue’er can prove that his bloodline is indeed not from our sect.”
The whole place was filled with surprise and doubt, but Feng Xue'er had already turned around and stretched out her hand, with her palm facing Yun Che's forehead. As a flame flashed in her palm, a spot of gold suddenly shone between Yun Che's eyebrows, and then quickly turned into a yellow flame.
Yun Che: “…”
“Yellow… Golden Phoenix Seal!” Feng Hengkong and the others shouted in surprise, looking at the golden Phoenix mark on Yun Che’s forehead with shocked expressions.
“Xue’er has phoenix blood and power directly bestowed by the Phoenix God, so Xue’er can tell at once whether the Phoenix bloodline in him comes from the Phoenix God’s lineage.” Feng Xue’er said slowly, “The Phoenix God also said that the golden Phoenix mark will only appear on those who inherit the purest Phoenix blood. His Phoenix mark is golden, which proves that the Phoenix bloodline in his body is the most direct gift of Phoenix blood, not a bloodline inheritance.”
Feng Ximing stared at the golden mark on Yun Che’s forehead and was stunned for a long time: “Xue’er, this… this…”
Feng Xue'er faced the seats of the Phoenix Sect, her voice was like a leisurely cloud: "Xue'er knows that Xue'er has violated your wishes, which must have disappointed and angered you, but there are many things that Xue'er really doesn't understand... Our Divine Phoenix Nation has been defeated, and Tianxuan has another person with the Phoenix heritage. Father, brother... shouldn't this be something worth being happy about? Why do you want to deny this at all costs? You clearly want to protect the glory and dignity of the Divine Phoenix Nation, why do you want to destroy them so hard."
Feng Hengkong opened his lips, but for a moment he was speechless. This was the first time in his life that Feng Xue'er had said so many words at once, and said such words... He, the father who thought he knew his daughter best, was stunned at this moment.
“Xue’er loves everything she has, and is proud of being born and raised in the Divine Phoenix Nation. When she was very young, Xue’er knew that the Divine Phoenix Nation was the largest country in the Profound Sky Continent, and also the most powerful country… But why, today, Xue’er suddenly felt that her homeland was so small… It was really so small…”
"The Seven Nations Ranking Tournament has been going on for many years. Every time before, it was the Divine Phoenix Nation that won. This time, our Divine Phoenix Nation was defeated by the Blue Wind Nation. The Blue Wind Nation defeated the Divine Phoenix with its own strength... Although the Divine Phoenix was defeated, it does not mean that the Divine Phoenix has become weaker, but that among the six nations, someone who can defeat the Divine Phoenix has finally appeared. This is not only a breakthrough for the Blue Wind Nation, but also a breakthrough for the Xuan Realm of all seven nations. Isn't this something that all Xuan practitioners should be happy about? Frankly admitting defeat and announcing the winner to the world, isn't this the most appropriate and normal thing for a dignified great country to do?"
“Senior Brother Feibai and the other nine surrounded Yun Che, and they attacked with lethal force right from the start. When Yun Che defeated them, he could have easily killed them, but he didn’t do it. But no one from our Divine Phoenix thanked us, and instead continued to make things difficult for us… In terms of bearing and tolerance, the Divine Phoenix completely lost to Cang Feng, and even its dignity was completely thrown away by itself.”
The mouths of the people from the Divine Phoenix Sect opened wide, and no one could say anything. Yun Che stared at Feng Xue'er blankly, and was also speechless for a long time.
“The power of our Divine Phoenix Sect comes from the inheritance of the Phoenix. Without the gift of the Phoenix, there would be no Divine Phoenix Sect today. Every one of us Phoenix disciples should have the most sincere gratitude… Yun Che’s bloodline also comes from the Phoenix, and he is the most direct inheritor of the Phoenix God. But why do you think of denying it by any means necessary and even want to use cruel methods to erase it, instead of treating him as a blood relative, supporting and helping each other, and jointly continuing and carrying forward the bloodline and power of the Phoenix God… This kind of selfishness, Xue’er can’t see the glory and dignity, it only makes Xue’er feel strange and afraid…”
