"What are you going to do, Xiao Yan?"
Feng Qing'er watched Xiao Yan, the unease in her heart rapidly growing. Yet Xiao Yan did not respond. Instead, he turned to Huang Tian and spoke in a deep voice.
"Clan Leader Huang Tian, can you let me handle this?"
"..."
Huang Tian froze, looking into Xiao Yan's azure eyes, vast as the sky and filled with solemn determination.
Xiao Yan had already confirmed through his soul that Feng Li's self-awareness had been completely stripped away, leaving only instinct lingering deep within.
The current Feng Li was not even as good as a remnant soul.
In other words, there was no possibility of saving her. They could either watch her completely absorb the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Vein and cause countless Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members to die, or destroy her soul outright before she finished absorbing it!
From a rational standpoint, the latter was naturally the only choice.
Yet Xiao Yan knew that neither Huang Tian nor Phoenix could bring themselves to do it.
So Xiao Yan decided that when neither of them could make the move, he would step forward to make the decision for them and act in their place.
He was Feng Qing'er's husband, not some unrelated passerby. If he stood silently to the side at a time like this as though it had nothing to do with him, Xiao Yan would despise himself!
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Huang Tian immediately understood what he meant.
After a long time, Huang Tian gradually came back to himself. Then he slowly closed his eyes and gave a faint nod.
"Then... I'll leave it to you."
"Wait! What are you doing?!"
Phoenix's heart trembled as she stared fixedly at Xiao Yan. Yet Xiao Yan acted as if he had not seen her,
