Xie Feng cautioned, "Once I eliminate the affiliated forces of Peak of Heaven, it will signify a declaration of war between the Demon-Burying Clan, the Jade Pivot Sect, and Peak of Heaven. Given our close relationship, you must be extra careful lately. Also, the operation of Ziyun Bank will inevitably be impacted; you must be prepared for these risks."
I understand!
Chen An nodded with a serious expression.
"Hey, you're all here!" Just then, someone knocked loudly on the door.
The three of them turned their gazes away.
A woman arrived at some unknown time. She leaned against the door frame, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, her long, unruly blond hair flowing freely, and a smile playing on her lips.
This Yellow Hair woman was none other than Nalan Yan from the Divine Secrets Pavilion.
She raised her hand to greet the crowd.
"Long time no see, Xie Feng, Chen An, uh... and who is this beautiful lady?"
Ren Yanyu!
"Oh, and Miss Ren too, hello!"
Nalan Yan said with a grin.
Xie Feng smiled slightly at her, "Miss Nalan, it's been a long time!"
Call me Master Nalan!
Nalan Yan, the petty man, raised his head smugly, tossed his hair, Yellow Hair danced in the wind...
Chen An raised an eyebrow. "Your master... is dead?!"
Nalan Yan stepped across the threshold, swaggered into the house, put one hand on his hip, and glared at Chen An: "Your master is the one who's dead! Humph, she passed the position to me and retired from the martial world!"
Chen An nodded. "Retiring at this critical juncture is truly wise..."
Nalan Yan rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Xie Feng and said, "Young Master Xie, I've heard that the Jade Pivot Sect and Peak of Heaven have started fighting. You've even allied with the Demon-Burying Clan. I admire your strength and courage; I'd like to join you!"
Her eyes sparkled, gleaming with passionate intensity.
The Divine Secrets Pavilion is the largest intelligence center in the Fifth Universe. With her joining, the Jade Pivot Sect will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened.
He laughed and said, "Of course, I'd be more than happy to grant your request!"
"However, I have another question."
"Please speak, Miss Nalan."
"Just call me 'OP' and let me pretend for a bit, okay?"
"Doesn't Miss Nalan also call me Young Master Xie?"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
"Lord Nalan!" Xie Feng immediately retorted.
"..."
Nalan Yan was both amused and exasperated. This guy was pretending to be happy for no reason, and in the end, she felt quite defeated and let Xie Feng call her whatever he wanted.
Adjusting her mindset, her expression turned serious. "My question was, the Emperor Phoenix Clan is the Stability Maintainers of the Fifth Universe. If you wipe them out, who will maintain the stability of the Fifth Universe?"
Xie Feng said seriously, "The question you raised is one I've been considering, but I don't have an answer yet."
Nalan Yan said, "I will keep an eye on this matter, and I will let you know if there is a suitable one!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Then I'll leave it to Miss Nalan!"
Nalan Yan waved his hand. "Hey, we're allies now, this is our duty! I can't stand Peak of Heaven's years of unreasonable extortion against my Divine Secrets Pavilion!"
"If we are looking for a replacement, we need to understand why the Emperor Phoenix Clan was able to maintain stability in the Fifth Universe," Xie Feng pondered.
"Leave this to my Divine Secrets Pavilion! Within half a month... no, within ten days, I'll definitely find the cause for you!"
Nalan Yan flicked his Yellow Hair again.
Very dashing.
Outside, snow was falling heavily, and everyone stayed at the Peaceful Mountain Manor.
There are seven or eight thatched huts here.
Each person was given a dilapidated thatched hut.
Xie Feng went into his room.
Out of respect and affection for him, Chen An gave him the best house besides his own to live in.
Okay means...
It's airtight, leak-proof, and won't collapse under the weight of heavy snow...
Xie Feng looked around. Although the house was dilapidated, it still lacked essential items.
A bed, a table, and a candle.
The candlelight flickered uncertainly.
Xie Feng swept away the dust from the tattered mat without any sign of disgust, then sat cross-legged and began Qi Refining.
Having experienced many things, he can accept any environment.
He focused intently on his cultivation, and midnight passed.
At the break of dawn, a loud sound suddenly rang out.
Xie Feng's house shook!
He opened his eyes; a wall was glowing red with firelight.
Xie Feng got out of bed, opened the window and looked out. There was a deep pit opposite him, and in the pit stood a dark, thatched-roof-shaped object. When the wind blew, it turned to ashes.
"This is..."
His gaze shifted to a strangely shaped piece of debris nearby, and he raised an eyebrow. "A cannon! Who fired a cannon at the Peaceful Mountain Manor, and it hit this house right there! Luckily, no one lives there..."
Xie Feng walked out of his thatched hut with a cold face.
Chen An, Ren Yanyu, and Nalan Yan were also alerted and came out one after another.
Chen An arrived at the site of the artillery attack, picked up a piece of artillery shard, examined it, and his expression changed slightly.
" The Emperor Phoenix Clan!"
He held up the fragment, which bore a clearly visible phoenix emblem!
Nalan Yan said, "It was Peak of Heaven who did it!"
Chen An sneered, "You just killed the Blood Shadow Army's deputy commander, Shadow Blade, and now you're getting revenge? They're quick, aren't they..."
at this point.
Dao Fire shooting star streaked across the sky, heading towards the Peaceful Mountain Manor.
A meteor streaked by, and the temperature here suddenly rose!
"Artillery!"
Ren Yanyu reacted quickly and pulled Chen An aside.
boom!!
The shells slammed into the spot where Chen An had just stood!
impartial!
If he hadn't been pulled away just now, he would have been completely destroyed, body and soul!
More than just a shell!
And there's more!
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless shells flew in from outside, turning the dark sky crimson.
Like a blazing sunset!
The splendor of death!
"Hurry up!" Chen An urged urgently, wanting to take off running.
"You forgot? There are two big shots here!" Nalan Yan grabbed him, winking with a smile.
Xie Feng, Advanced Divine Saint!
Ren Yanyu, Advanced Divine Saint!
The two of them were naturally fearless, Ren Yanyu Ice Rainbow Sword be drawn, its Sword Qi spreading and forming a huge defensive barrier that enveloped the manor.
At this moment!
A vast yellow ocean flies in from the distant horizon.
They drew ever closer, their overwhelming pressure engulfing the winds and clouds, oppressing all living beings.
This sea is made up of thousands of phoenixes!
The Emperor Phoenix Army is here!
Although there are only a thousand of them, their deterrent power is self-evident.
When they flew in, the world was deathly silent.
A thousand phoenixes, each carrying a large cannon on its back.
The artillery fired relentlessly.
They possessed terrifying endurance; under such relentless attacks, a hole was torn in the defensive barrier!
Ren Yanyu fixed her gaze and reached out to make up for it.
Xie Feng said, " Yanyu, no need to repair them. Let them in; it'll be perfect for us to trap them like turtles in a jar!"
Ren Yanyu nodded, but did not fix the loopholes.
As the Emperor Phoenix Army arrived, their wings flapped wildly, stirring up countless terrifying storms within the Peaceful Mountain Manor.
Chen An secretly rejoiced, thankfully there wasn't much in the manor, so he wasn't worried about valuables being damaged!
