"I may lack ability, but..."
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly smiled, saying, "If I suffer any harm at your Peak of Heaven, within two days, someone will raze your territory to the ground. Do you believe me?!"
Feng Yan stared at him cautiously, then asked with a cold smile, "The fact that you can say that means you have some powerful background. Tell me, let me see if someone who can flatten Peak of Heaven is a terrifying big shot!"
Xie Feng slightly put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. The person behind me is too powerful. It would scare you to death if I told you!"
Feng Yan laughed loudly, "Just psychological tactics!"
Xie Feng smiled without saying a word.
Just then!
Phew!
A loud cry echoed through the sky!
In the vast sky, golden light cascaded down, parting the clouds and revealing a dazzling brilliance that shone upon the earth.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
At the same time!
A golden phoenix swooped down!
It gently flaps its wings, and countless storms sweep across the land!
The storm struck suddenly, catching many off guard and leaving them bewildered.
Even Feng Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Taking advantage of the moment, the phoenix flew to Xie Feng and Jin Yue's side. Without saying a word, it stretched out its wings and swatted at them, and the two of them floated lightly onto its back.
The phoenix flapped its wings and let out a clear, melodious cry towards Feng Yan, which also contained a hint of pride.
"Where are the archers? Shoot it down! Who is this traitor?!" an elder shouted, jumping up and down.
In his view, the phoenix was surrounded by a familiar aura, and it must have come from the Peak of Heaven Emperor Phoenix Clan!
The army immediately came out, bows and crossbows unleashed, aimed at the golden figure gradually disappearing into the distance on the horizon.
A thousand arrows are ready to be fired!
Feng Yan roared, "No one is allowed to make a move!"
The elder was utterly bewildered. " Phoenix Lord, we can't let the traitor escape! They have someone waiting for them at Peak of Heaven! We must shoot him down!"
Feng Yan angrily said, "That's the Emperor's son! What are you talking about!"
Upon hearing that it was the Emperor's son, the elder immediately fell silent.
Phoenix Lord is extremely protective of his own!
He didn't dare to utter a sound, only lowering his head tremblingly.
Feng Yan stared at the phoenix that had disappeared into the sky, along with Xie Feng and Jin Yue, and cursed angrily:
"Is this all the background you have? Hmph, pathetic! You only managed to escape this time by sheer luck. Next time, you're dead for sure! Fifth brother, you unfilial son, always siding with outsiders! If you wanted to die of anger, you should have said so earlier! If you dare come back, I'll tear you apart!"
The golden phoenix carried the two of them and quickly flew out of the Peak of Heaven, across the White Rainbow Bridge, and headed towards Returning Moon City!
Xie Feng stood on its back, looking down at the phoenix's shimmering golden feathers, and patted its neck. "Thanks, brother! Although I don't know who you are, you're an angel sent by heaven to save me!"
Jin Yue's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but blurt out her true feelings. "Young Master Xie, it's only been a few days, how come you've become so glib-tongued?"
At this moment, Phoenix spoke in human language, "Brother Xie, it's me, Feng Ning! The gatekeeper of the Fifth Universe, have you forgotten? You gave me ten Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill before! You're my elder brother!"
Xie Feng suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, it's you! What are you doing at Peak of Heaven?"
Feng Ning said, "I am also a prince of the emperor. I was late for the banquet because of some matters. By the time I arrived, the auction had already ended. All I saw was you fighting fiercely, even alarming the ancestor. We are friends, after all. How could I stand by and watch a friend in danger? That's why I came!"
Xie Feng clasped his hands in thanks. "Brother, thank you so much! You're truly a righteous man!"
Feng Ning laughed and seized the opportunity to say, "Brother Xie, I have a small selfish reason for saving you. Could you give me a few Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill?"
Xie Feng flicked his finger, and a jade gourd landed in front of Feng Ning: "There are two hundred pills here, take them!"
"Holy crap! Brother Xie is awesome!" Feng Ning was shocked. Who is this guy? He's incredibly generous!
He even suspected that Xie Feng's family specialized in refining the Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill...
"These are Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill, how can you just casually produce hundreds of them?" Even Jin Yue found it unbelievable.
"Just a few pills, if you need them, I have plenty!" Xie Feng winked and smiled.
"Following Brother Xie means there's meat to eat!" Feng Ning happily flapped her wings and accepted the pills without hesitation.
"I should have realized long ago that the royal family of Peak of Heaven is surnamed Feng, and you are also surnamed Feng, so there must be a connection. But why would a prince of the emperor be assigned to guard the gate?"
Because the journey to Returning Moon City was long and time-consuming, Xie Feng sat down cross-legged and began to chat casually.
Feng Ning readily agreed, replying, "It's fun! I like it!"
Jin Yue turned her head, staring intently at Xie Feng, and joked, "Young Master Xie, you were so calm when you confronted Feng Yan just now, you must have a very powerful background. If Feng Ning had arrived a little later, would I have been able to see the big shot behind you?"
Xie Feng laughed and said, "When I told Feng Yan I had an extraordinary background, it was just to put psychological pressure on him and deceive him! What kind of background could I possibly have!"
Jin Yue nodded. "Psychological warfare, that's a brilliant move!"
Feng Ning said mysteriously, "No background? Maybe not? Haha."
He had personally witnessed some of the most important figures in the Fifth Universe whose very names could cause a sensation!
For example: Devil Emperor Ge Ya!
For example, the Old Man Pine Gatherer!
The former's reputation was so great that it was hardly surprising, but when Feng Ning Old Man Pine Gatherer saw Cai Song while guarding the gate, he was truly terrified!
Aren't you afraid of someone who comes back from the dead?
In his memory, the Old Man Pine Gatherer was a great contributor who followed Feng Xuan all over the country and made great contributions.
He died with resentment because of some things!
But a few years later, they reappeared before him! Because the matter was too explosive, he kept his mouth shut and dared not tell anyone.
Jin Yue smiled gently and said, "Anyway, thank you very much."
"We're practically family, right, Auntie? Haha~"
Feng Ning flapped his wings and flew higher and faster, grinning mischievously.
Jin Yue pouted, "Your way of addressing me makes it sound like I'm much older... Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed older than you..."
Feng Ning said, "I was just teasing you, hehe."
Jin Yue rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.
Feng Ning then flapped its wings, its golden figure whistling through the wind and clouds.
Suddenly, three figures appeared from below, piercing through the wind and clouds, flying swiftly and blocking their path!
squeak!
Feng Ning was flying at high speed when she suddenly saw someone ahead. Startled, she quickly flapped her wings and braked sharply, barely coming to a stop.
The three dark figures stood in a triangular formation. The one in front turned around, and it was none other than Ming Dao!
"Holy crap, the Demon-Burying Clan! What's he doing here? I absolutely hate the Demon-Burying Clan!"
After seeing the face clearly, Feng Ning gritted her teeth and said.
