Kong Xuan!

"Fengming Qishan? The great calamity is approaching, and even those fellows in the Immortal Volcano are getting restless? No, with such a move, those old guys couldn't pull it off! A Saint has made a move, but which one?"

A middle-aged man wearing a colorful robe, with a well-proportioned build and a handsome face, stood on the city wall and murmured.

This was the General of Sanshan Pass on Golden Rooster Ridge. This middle-aged man was the general in charge here, surnamed Kong, named Xuan. It was rumored that his true form was the first peacock in heaven and earth, the son of the Ancestor Phoenix! His innate divine ability, the Five-Colored Divine Light, could brush away anything. Even the Saint Zhunti, disregarding his status as a Saint, personally attacked and was brushed away by him, losing face. He was truly the foremost person below the Saints!

"Hmm? This arrow has some skill to it."

Watching the Sky-Shaking Arrow, carrying the luck of the Human Race, cleave through the sky and nail the crying colorful phoenix with a single shot, Kong Xuan remained with his hands behind his back, showing no signs of making a move.

Beneath the gentle demeanor was naked ruthlessness.

"This generation's Human King has some means. Sending someone to Sanshan Pass to 'invite' me, have they seen through my identity?"

During the Dragon-Han Primordial Calamity, the Phoenix Clan was entangled with infinite karma, hated by heaven and earth, and their path to the Dao was almost severed!

Although they possessed endless lifespan, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to advance further on the Great Dao. That was why he had condescended to serve within the Human Race dynasty, using the Human Race's luck as a shield to isolate himself from the Phoenix Clan, thus achieving his current cultivation and divine abilities.

"Star-Gathering Pavilion, you have quite the nerve. Using the Human Race's luck to tempt me, or rather, threaten me, you have even more nerve! Since that's the case, I'll see what exactly you intend to do."

The corners of Kong Xuan's mouth curved slightly, a hint of ferocity in his eyes. He was Kong Xuan, the Kong Xuan who dared to fight even a Saint with his Five-Colored Divine Light!

With a step, space suddenly shifted, and Kong Xuan silently appeared behind Bi Gan and Fei Zhong, who were arguing in the room.

"Hmph! Good riddance! Fengming Qishan, Cheng Tang's reign is nearing its end. These outsiders always like to put on a show. Now that the phoenix has fallen in Xiqi, let's see whose reign is ending!"

Royal Uncle Bi Gan shouted at the top of his lungs, completely disregarding his status and image. Perhaps he wasn't satisfied with just cursing, so he turned his attention to Kong Xuan:

"And this General of Sanshan Pass, Kong Xuan! A mere general of my Yin Shang dares to defy the king's will! When I return to Chaoge, I will definitely impeach him!"

"No! Absolutely not, Royal Uncle!"

Fei Zhong shivered upon hearing this and quickly pulled back the agitated Bi Gan. He glanced around before whispering, "The Great King sent us to 'invite' General Kong Xuan, naturally wanting to show respect to the worthy. We mustn't ruin the Great King's plans."

Old man, be more mindful! The Great King used the word 'invite' for his arrogant personality. If this Kong Xuan isn't incredibly powerful, then my name isn't Fei Zhong!

Just sit there peacefully and don't cause me any more trouble!

"Hmph!"

Bi Gan sat down indignantly, still resentful in his heart.

Kong Xuan watched this scene with amusement, his expression calm, not angry at all: When would an elephant get angry at an ant?

"Old Royal Uncle... you, when did you arrive?"

Fei Zhong turned around and was stunned. Seeing Kong Xuan suddenly appear, he became flustered.

It's over, it's over. He heard everything. How can I report back to Chaoge?

"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything."

Kong Xuan smiled slightly. Before the shocked Bi Gan could stand up, he waved his right hand, and a beam of Five-Colored Divine Light enveloped them, drawing the two into the space created by his divine ability. Then, he turned and transformed into a divine light, shooting straight towards Chaoge.

Within the Nine-Chamber Hall

Di Xin shot down the colorful phoenix and, with a playful tone, asked Bo Yikao to bring back the colorful phoenix to stew. While it seemed like he was letting Xiqi off the hook, it was actually a ruthless act of killing the heart!

Fengming Qishan, Xiqi is destined to rise?

It's just the base for my son's nourishing soup!

"Since none of my esteemed ministers have any objections, then from today onwards, Jiao'er will be the Crown Prince of my Yin Shang! He is the next Human King recognized by the Sages of the Human Race!"

"Court dismissed!"

Di Xin, holding Yin Hong and Yin Jiao, descended the jade steps with a laugh and walked towards the royal palace, leaving behind a group of ministers exchanging silent glances.

Di Xin's arrow had not only severed Xiqi's morale but also the hopes of all the civil and military officials and the eight hundred feudal lords!

And with Xiqi as a precedent, who would dare to oppose Di Xin again in a short period?

"I have a Ten Thousand Mile Smoke-Cloud Steed, capable of traveling tens of thousands of miles a day."

Jiang Wenhuan walked up to the ice-cold Bo Yikao and patted his shoulder.

Di Xin was too powerful now. Let's endure for a while.

"Thank you."

Bo Yikao finally seemed to come back to his senses, forcing a stiff smile that was more unsightly than crying.

The Four Great Earls held the highest positions below the Human King, and countless feudal lords coveted them.

Now, Xiqi had become the bird that stuck its head out. Not only would it have to bear the pressure from Di Xin, but it would also have to guard against the two hundred feudal lords beside them! With Xiqi's current strength, it was difficult, difficult, difficult!

Father Earl, Father Earl, you are well-versed in the numbers of the Postnatal Eight Trigrams, how could you be so reckless today?

Alas!

After leaving the court, Yin Hong and Yin Jiao went to the back palace to accompany Empress Jiang, while Di Xin returned alone to Qingxian Hall, sitting cross-legged and contemplating.

The Three Pure Ones did not impart the method of longevity to the Human King, so Yin Jiao would not be taken in as a disciple by the Heavenly Origin Sect in this life and would not have to bear the infamy of "son killing father, utterly unfilial." He could be considered safe for the time being.

As for Yin Hong, Di Xin had not yet decided. A person's energy was limited, and he also wanted to see how things would develop later.

Now that I've shot down the colorful phoenix, completely suppressing Xiqi's fortune, it will inevitably trigger a chain of consequences, and it's even possible that I'll break free from the "script" entirely.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is Kong Xuan!

This General of Sanshan Pass, whose strength I can borrow to create more variables!

Outside Chaoge City

A divine light descended, revealing Kong Xuan in his human form.

Chaoge is the royal city of Yin Shang and the place where the Human Race's fortune converges. Although Kong Xuan holds the position of General of Sanshan Pass, he dared not enter rashly.

The current Human King is nothing, but those old fellows in Huoyun Cave are quite troublesome!

After steadying himself, a Five-Colored Divine Light flew out from behind Kong Xuan, and Bi Gan and Fei Zhong immediately fell to the ground.

"My life is over!"

As soon as Fei Zhong saw Kong Xuan make a move, he was so terrified that he closed his eyes and cried out. Because Kong Xuan was extremely fast, by the time he shouted this, they had already arrived at Chaoge, and Kong Xuan had released them again.

"This is Chaoge?"

Compared to Fei Zhong, Bi Gan was much calmer. However, when he fell to the ground and opened his eyes, he suddenly saw the city walls of Chaoge and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Chaoge? We've arrived at Chaoge?"

Fei Zhong hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar cityscape before him. A feeling of surviving a disaster arose from the bottom of his heart.

"General Kong Xuan, what incredible divine abilities, what incredible speed!"

"It's just a minor trick. Let's go and see this Chaoge..."
