The storm has finally passed.
Feng Yan invited everyone to take their seats.
Everyone sat down.
Feng Hao gritted his teeth and walked past Xie Feng, leaving him with the words, "You just wait!"
Xie Feng said lightly, "I will wait until your death."
Feng Hao stared in shock. "You want to kill me?!"
Xie Feng looked at him and smiled, "Then it depends on your attitude!"
Feng Hao glared at him with murderous intent.
At this moment, Feng Luo realized something was wrong and quickly said, " Feng Hao, don't push your luck! Get lost! You think you can bully Brother Lu just because he's a civilized person and won't curse at you?"
Feng Hao was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he walked away quickly.
Feng Luo watched his exasperated figure and felt inexplicably satisfied. " Brother Lu, you need to watch out for this guy. He's vindictive and incredibly annoying!"
Xie Feng said, "I think you need to be more careful."
Feng Luo said nonchalantly, "Others may be afraid of him, but I'm not. That guy has a bad temper and isn't very bright. He doesn't dare to mess with me right now. I have much better interpersonal relationships than him!"
Xie Feng nodded.
He didn't want to get involved in what was between the brothers.
Everyone took their seats one after another.
Feng Yan sat in the main seat, and halfway through the meal, he was carrying a white jade tray covered with a golden cloth.
Everyone looked at it, but because the tray had curved edges and was covered with cloth, they couldn't tell what it was.
Feng Yan glanced around and, seeing that most people were intrigued, smiled and introduced, " Peak of Heaven invites everyone to this banquet. Do you know what day it is today?"
What day is it?
The group exchanged bewildered glances.
"There must be great news at Peak of Heaven!"
"Perhaps they're about to announce good news of a victory on the battlefield!"
"Perhaps it's just a routine contact?"
"What other days are there besides these?"
Everyone was completely confused. After they couldn't figure out what was wrong with Feng Yan's face, they turned their attention to Qing Yi and Ming King, who were standing next to Feng Yan.
The two men had expressions that were neither smiling nor frowning.
Feng Yan stopped teasing them and sat in the seat of honor, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Today is the anniversary of the death of our former Phoenix Lord, Feng Xuan! Of course, this isn't a day worth commemorating, but regardless, as his former Phoenix Lord, we should still remember him on this anniversary!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Many people wore awkward smiles, wondering why Feng Yan would bring up such an unlucky person today.
Xie Feng's gaze shifted, noticing the strange expressions on the faces of those around him, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
He whispered to Feng Hao, "As the former Phoenix Lord, Feng Xuan's reputation doesn't seem to be very good. I noticed that the expressions of the people around me are a bit off."
Feng Luo's expression wasn't good either. He said somewhat awkwardly, "I can't judge the former Phoenix Lord, who is also my uncle. If you want to know about him, I can only tell you what's circulating on Peak of Heaven, but I can't guarantee its authenticity!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Go ahead!"
Feng Luo looked around and saw that everyone was gathered around Feng Yan and the tray, discussing them. No one was paying attention to them, so she whispered, "My uncle's reputation wasn't very good when he was in power because he was too lazy! He was in power for over two hundred years, and he spent most of his time disappearing. He was often not on Peak of Heaven, and no one knew where he went. When you needed him, he was nowhere to be seen, and when you didn't need him, he was nowhere to be seen either."
"He loved reading and would spend most of his day reading in a quiet place. Twelve years ago, he said he wanted to retire and live a secluded life. But that year, the Demon-Burying Clan Rebellion broke out. They were our Emperor Phoenix Clan's mortal enemies since ancient times, Demon-Burying Clan wreaked havoc on the Fifth Universe."
"As the Stability Maintainers of the Fifth Universe, we, the Emperor Phoenix Clan of Peak of Heaven, have a responsibility to annihilate the Demon-Burying Clan. However, this comes at a great cost. My uncle was unwilling to shoulder this responsibility and even chose to betray Peak of Heaven, colluding with the Demon-Burying Clan to injure Phoenix Lord, who is my father. Later, my father joined forces with some others to wage a great battle against him, and my uncle was killed."
After listening to Feng Luo's account, Xie Feng frowned. He felt that something was amiss!
First of all, it can be confirmed that the Feng Xuan that Feng Luo mentioned is his senior brother Kong Qiusu!
In other words, although the eldest brother was an orphan, he later found his family and went back home.
However, due to certain circumstances, he did not stay at Peak of Heaven often. Instead, he would go out from time to time to travel around with his master, only returning to Peak of Heaven occasionally.
However, when the Demon-Burying Clan invaded later, the eldest brother did not want to bear the responsibility of eliminating the Demon-Burying Clan as a member of the Emperor Phoenix Clan, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of Peak of Heaven... Xie Feng always felt that something was wrong about this!
This is just Feng Yan's side of the story!
Only by waking the eldest brother from his slumber and restoring his memories can the ultimate truth be revealed!
Xie Feng's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Feng Yan had already ordered someone to remove the golden cloth!
A scroll!
Made of bamboo, it still retains its verdant green color even after many years.
Feng Yan said, "As everyone knows, the former Phoenix Lord loved literature and calligraphy. Today is the anniversary of his death, so let's bring out his calligraphy for everyone to appreciate! This scroll, named ' Tracing Moon Diagram,' is a formation Cultivation Method he created! There is a seal within it. Whoever can break the seal will receive a free item from the Peak of Heaven at the auction after the banquet!"
These words instantly caused a stir at the banquet!
"Putting everything else aside, the former Phoenix Lord was quite accomplished in Literary Dao!"
" The Tracing Moon Diagram is a little-known treasure!"
"I bet it's because Phoenix Lord can't break the seal that he asked us for help!"
"If even Phoenix Lord couldn't open it, how could we open it so easily?"
"Perhaps it's just that you and I can't open it. Among us, there must be one or two people who will achieve remarkable success, right?"
"That's true! Let's wait and see!"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
In the seat.
Upon seeing the scroll, Jin Yue nearly lost her composure!
She said to Xie Feng, " The Tracing Moon Diagram that Feng Yan has is the lower part, because the upper part is in my hands! I originally thought I had obtained everything, but I never expected that Feng Yan would actually keep half of it! That shameless scoundrel! It's unimaginable how many treasures ended up in Feng Yan's pocket after Feng Xuan's death!"
Jin Yue was furious and wished she could strangle Feng Yan to death.
Xie Feng's expression was cold, and he felt even more disgusted with Feng Yan.
He even stole his senior brother's things! Shameless scoundrel!
Jin Yue said angrily, "However, although I have the Tracing Moon Diagram, I have never studied it and cannot break the seal. By the way, Xiangxiang told me before that she gave you the upper part of the Tracing Moon Diagram?"
Xie Feng asked guiltily, "You don't want to go back, do you?"
Jin Yue shook her head. " Xiangxiang is yours now, so it's yours. Can you break the seal?"
Xie Feng said, "To be honest, I've already read through that half of the Tracing Moon Diagram, and I've learned all the Formation in it."
