Only now, after Qing Yi has been summoned back to Peak of Heaven and is by Feng Yan's side, possessing astonishing power and favor, does he dare to secretly keep an eye on Feng Wen.
But today, he realized he still didn't understand Feng Yan enough, because if Feng Wen knew about something he said, she would definitely hate him to the core!
but...
Qing Yi felt increasingly uneasy.
Years of experience told him that there must be a shocking conspiracy behind Feng Yan's actions!
"With such a strong sense of self-respect, how could Phoenix Maiden tolerate being treated like merchandise and disposed of at will? Either she goes far away or she raises an army in rebellion; either way, she will anger Phoenix Lord!"
"The succession to the Emperor Phoenix Clan has always been determined by merit; whoever is the strongest, most talented, and most capable becomes king! Once the Phoenix Maiden harbors rebellious intentions, the Phoenix Lord can easily kill her, completely eliminating any obstacle to the eldest prince... How terrifying!..."
Qing Yi broke out in a cold sweat!
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He tried his best to remain calm and decided to first transport the resources to the Eternity Battlefield and then wait and see what happened!
This is just wild speculation, not a reasonable fact. If we say anything to Feng Wen and Feng Yan finds out, it could easily alert Feng Yan, and then they might both lose their lives!
Feng Yan's generation had ten brothers, five of whom are dead. As for how they died or whether they died of natural causes, that remains unknown.
Of the rest, Feng Xuan is dead, and Ming King was recently killed by Xie Feng.
In other words, including Feng Yan, only three out of ten remain!
"Don't overthink it, just get back to work. I'm just a worker!"
Qing Yi sighed and closed his eyes to rest.
The Eternity Battlefield.
The death of Feng Chong alarmed Feng Wen and Feng Ning. When they came out of their tents and saw the scene, they were both shocked.
Feng Ning blinked, somewhat surprised. "Brother Xie, what... what happened?"
Xie Feng remained expressionless. "Did you two just say something?"
Feng Wen frowned.
Feng Ning's expression changed slightly. "Did he hear that?"
Xie Feng nodded. "He already knew about Senior Brother's existence, and he even tried to inform Feng Yan, so I killed him!"
"I'm sorry, I let my guard down. This will never happen again." Feng Wen with some self-reproach.
"Second sister, so this is how you lived..."
Surrounded by the wolves of the Demon-Burying Clan on the outside, and eyed by the covetous Feng Chong on the inside...
Feng Ning felt deeply saddened. The bond of blood between family members stirred a pang of heartache within him, yet he felt utterly powerless to help.
Feng Wen didn't care at all, and simply waved to summon a few trusted guards to carry away Feng Chong's body.
Feng Wen's gaze was sharp as he spoke in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, transport this corpse back to Peak of Heaven. Tell them that the Fourth Emperor's son, Feng Chong, died in battle, his body wrapped in a horse's hide!"
The guards obeyed the order and carried away Feng Chong's body.
Feng Ning said, "Second Sister, you have such great charisma; you've won my heart..."
Feng Wen shrugged, looking only at Xie Feng: "The bigger storm is yet to come, Young Master Xie. You should leave quickly. The Eternity Battlefield is not a peaceful place, and there are many gossips and spies here. If Phoenix Lord finds out about Uncle's existence, it will only hasten the storm."
Xie Feng nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking too. To avoid causing trouble for Miss Feng Wen, I've decided to Returning Moon City now."
Feng Ning quickly asked, "What about me?"
Feng Wen glanced at him. "Go back and behave yourself at your gate."
"I want to go to Returning Moon City! I'm a gatekeeper, it's a pretty easy job, not really necessary, hehe."
Feng Ning grinned mischievously.
Xie Feng said, "There's no time to lose, let's go now. Goodbye, Miss Feng Wen!"
Feng Wen clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, young master. Until we meet again!"
Before leaving, Xie Feng gave her two Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill, remembering how Feng Wen led the phoenix flock to devour the Demon-Burying Clan who had been entangled with them when they first entered the Eternity Battlefield.
Feng Wen accepted it gratefully without refusing.
The Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill is expensive, but a generous and kind heart is even more valuable; this is a timely help!
She looked at Xie Feng with obvious admiration.
After bidding farewell to Feng Wen, Xie Feng found Kong Qiusu, Jin Yue, and the Old Man Pine Gatherer. Feng Ning transformed into a phoenix once more, carrying the three of them, flapping its wings, and soaring into the sky.
At daybreak, they arrived at Returning Moon City.
They were greeted by Nether Dao. Upon seeing them, the former excitedly rushed over and grabbed Xie Feng's arm tightly.
"Young Master Xie, your return is just in time!"
He then turned to Jin Yue, "Lord Brocade King, the city lord has fainted!"
Jin Yue's expression changed drastically. Without saying another word, she vanished in a flash!
Everyone hurried back.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, Gu Yu, Ye Die, and Yu Meng were all present.
Xiangxiang lay unconscious on the bed, covered with a small floral quilt.
"This situation is caused by her overuse of her ancestral power. Could it be that Ink Mysteries City or Peak of Heaven are causing trouble? The situation is critical; the ancestral power is destroying her internal defenses!"
Jin Yue suppressed her anxiety and looked up to check.
As she spoke, she gathered power in her palm, and the energy transformed into a gentle current that flowed through Xiangxiang's body.
Yu Meng said, "It's because the city lord ignored our advice and insisted on refining the ancestral power. She said she wanted to become stronger quickly to protect you!"
Jin Yue Wordless after hearing this.
She continued to channel her power, but this time, Xiangxiang was severely depleted, and her power couldn't even be calmed down.
Jin Yue gradually became flustered.
Xie Feng came to the bedside and fed Xiangxiang a Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill. This pill is known as a miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life. Xiangxiang's complexion immediately recovered a bit!
Everyone's eyes lit up, realizing there was something going on.
Xie Feng fed Xiangxiang nine more pills in a row, Xiangxiang's expression finally returned to normal, and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Wow, the City Lord of Returning Moon City is truly extraordinary. Such a young child needs to consume ten Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill!"
Seeing that Xiangxiang was alright, Feng Ning cracked a joke to ease the tension.
As soon as he spoke, he was noticed by Nether Dao and the others.
Because of the urgency of the situation, no one paid attention to the people who came with Xie Feng and Jin Yue. Now that Xiangxiang is alright, everyone has started to turn their attention to her.
Who are you?
Because Feng Ning has never made his identity public and rarely appears in public, very few people in the Fifth Universe know his identity.
Otherwise, knowing that the Prince of Peak of Heaven is guarding the gate, almost no one would dare to barge in recklessly.
It didn't matter that he didn't recognize Feng Ning; his gaze shifted to the next two, which were quite surprising!
" Feng Xuan?!"
" Pine Gatherer?!"
Nether Dao, Yu Meng, and Ye Die were all shocked.
Kong Qiusu for over two hundred years. Even if he keeps a low profile, the powerful figures of Returning Moon City would surely know what he looks like!
And Old Man Pine Gatherer was Feng Xuan's most capable henchman!
Gu Yu blinked, ready to watch the show.
After all, he knew nothing.
"You... you didn't perish?!"
Nether Dao swallowed hard.
