Threatening Fire Phoenix

"Oh, I see. I thought he had colorful eyes and was some important figure in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, but he's just a little Karami."

Li Changqing deliberately feigned regret for choosing the wrong person.

Seeing Li Changqing's reaction, Fire Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Fire Phoenix's heart leaped into her throat.

Li Changqing sighed, "I thought you were some important person? Since you're not important, then you're useless. You can go die now."

He gripped Jiufeng's head tightly with his right hand, causing Jiufeng to suffer excruciating pain and let out a tremendous scream.

Jiufeng cried out, "No! You can't kill me! I am the son of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Chief!"

Li Changqing loosened his grip slightly and deliberately feigned understanding. "I see. You should have said so earlier, then I might not have broken your hand."

Li Changqing looked at Fire Phoenix with a smile, "I haven't yet had the pleasure of learning your name, senior. I hope you will inform me."

Fire Phoenix's face was ashen as she coldly said, "My name is Fire Phoenix. As long as you release Jiufeng, I will not hold the matter of Feng Lieshan and Thunder Phoenix against you."

Li Changqing raised an eyebrow and continued to scan every inch of Fire Phoenix's body, "So it's Senior Fire Phoenix, I've heard so much about you. As for releasing Jiufeng, that's not out of the question."

"However, the fact that I've tormented the son of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's patriarch so badly concerns the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's reputation. Although you say you won't hold it against me, Old Man Jiufeng and the other Dou Sheng of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan might not feel the same way."

Having her thoughts exposed, Fire Phoenix's face darkened; that was indeed what she was thinking.

As Half-Saint, she naturally couldn't go back on her word.

However, if this matter is informed of the other powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they will likely not let Li Changqing off the hook either.

Li Changqing continued, "Although you are powerful, senior, you can't treat me like a fool, can you? Even if I release Jiufeng, I've still provoked the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, that's a fact."

"I've provoked the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, yet I haven't gained anything in return. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Fire Phoenix said coldly, "Speak, what do you want?"

Li Changqing grinned wickedly, licked his lips, and kept sizing up Fire Phoenix's fiery figure:

"I'm rather lustful. And Senior Fire Phoenix has such an alluring figure, it's hard not to be tempted. How about this, if Senior Fire Phoenix spends time with me, I'll release Jiufeng."

The Fire Phoenix was engulfed in terrifying Lie Yan once more. "This is impossible."

"Since it's impossible, then forget it. However, Jiufeng will have to be imprisoned by me for some time. I won't release him until I leave the Ancient Desolate Domain. After all, it would be bad if your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan attacked me while I was vying for opportunities."

Fire Phoenix looked around, trying to find a way to control Li Changqing.

She glanced at the Hun Clan members, but it was no use. The Hun Clan didn't step in to protect Li Changqing, and capturing them wouldn't threaten Li Changqing.

Fire Phoenix's gaze finally settled on Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King were so frightened that they took a few steps back. Now, there was a Fire Phoenix between them and Li Changqing.

It was impossible to leap over the Fire Phoenix and hide behind Li Changqing.

Just as Fire Phoenix was about to capture Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, another scream of pain rang out from Jiufeng.

Fire Phoenix withdrew her hand, clenched her fists, and looked at Jiufeng. She knew that this was Li Changqing warning her.

At this moment, Jiufeng's right arm was also shattered into a bloody mist by Li Changqing, and the Ring of Holding on Jiufeng's right hand also fell into Li Changqing's hands.

Upon examining the contents of the Ring of Holding with his Soul Force, Li Changqing revealed a look of delight:

"As expected of the son of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's patriarch, his wealth is truly astounding. Not bad, but unfortunately, it's mine now."

Jiufeng has completely lost face. He is the son of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's patriarch, a peerless genius, and the next patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Today, I actually made such a huge fool of myself in front of so many powerful figures from the Dou Qi Continent.

Jiufeng was filled with regret. She wished she had advised Fire Phoenix not to rashly attack Li Changqing.

At the same time, he also hated Li Changqing to the core.

This is the greatest humiliation of his life. If he cannot wash away this humiliation, even if he becomes the clan leader in the future, the other members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will still use this incident to ridicule him.

"I advise Senior Fire Phoenix not to make a move on them. If you or any other member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan dare to take another step closer to them, I can't guarantee which part of Jiufeng will explode next time."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Fire Phoenix gritted her teeth, hating Li Changqing so much that her teeth itched.

Li Changqing continued to use Jiufeng to threaten Fire Phoenix: "Senior Fire Phoenix, please don't blame me. If you hadn't come looking for trouble with me, how could we have ended up in this situation? Don't you think so?"

Seeing Jiufeng's pale face and growing increasingly weak, Fire Phoenix had no choice but to agree to Li Changqing:

"Alright, I can promise you that within the Ancient Desolate Domain, no one from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will attack you, but you must release Jiufeng first."

After considering it, Li Changqing said, "It's possible, but as I said, I can't exchange your Ring of Holding for Jiufeng without getting anything in return."

"Hand over the person first," Fire Phoenix said.

Li Changqing smiled and said, "Okay."

Fire Phoenix was taken aback, thinking she had misheard. Such decisiveness probably meant she had some ill intentions.

The next moment, Li Changqing pulled out a Pill from somewhere and forcefully fed it into Jiufeng's mouth.

Then, he kicked Jiufeng, sending him flying into the ranks of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

As soon as Jiufeng broke free from Li Changqing's control, the other members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan immediately stepped forward, staring at Li Changqing with hostile eyes, ready to attack.

Fire Phoenix took out a healing Pill from her Ring of Holding and fed it to Jiufeng to stabilize his injuries. Then, she stood up and looked at Li Changqing:

What did you just feed him?

Li Changqing yawned and said casually, "It's nothing, just a special Pill. I'll make sure your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan won't go back on their word."

"Now, hand over your Ring of Holding, and I will naturally give you the antidote when I leave the Ancient Desolate Domain."

Fire Phoenix hurriedly released its Soul Force, carefully scanning every inch of Jiufeng's body.

However, apart from being very weak due to the loss of both arms, Jiufeng's body showed no other abnormalities.

It would be a miracle if Fire Phoenix could detect anything unusual, since what Li Changqing fed Jiufeng wasn't poison at all, but just a Sugar Pill.

Li Changqing warned, "If I, a dignified alchemist capable of refining eighth-grade nine-colored pills, could be detected by a half-saint like you, I might as well be dead."

"Of course, if you can get a Ninth-Rank Alchemist to help, they might be able to detect the anomaly."

"You're a high-level Alchemist!" Fire Phoenix was surprised. If Li Changqing was right, and he could really refine Pill of that grade, she might not have been able to discover it.
