Upon hearing the masked youth's words, the middle-aged man's face showed shock and anger. He glared at the masked youth and asked, "Why...why? I've made so many contributions to the team, you can't just erase everything I've done without explanation!"
"why?"
The masked youth slowly walked up to the middle-aged man, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone, "I remember saying long ago that everyone in the team must obey my orders. Before we came out this time, I specifically instructed that this operation was of great significance and that no one was allowed to cause trouble. But what about you?"
A strong killing intent flashed in the masked youth's eyes.
"Do you really think we don't know what you've been doing?"
The masked youth's aura grew increasingly terrifying, and the surrounding space solidified under his influence. At this moment, even an ordinary Dou Zun expert would find it impossible to break through the space in a short period of time.
"As soon as you entered the city, you devoured two young girls. Relying on your peak Dou Zong strength, you acted recklessly. You were even more arrogant towards the people of Feng Lei Pavilion. If Qing Nan hadn't stopped you, you probably would have already laid your hands on the people of Feng Lei Pavilion, right?"
The masked youth strolled away. As Lei Zunzhe departed, only members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan remained in the courtyard. His gaze swept over everyone as he slowly spoke, "I don't care if you're truly that foolish or sent by someone else to cause trouble. If you attack ordinary people and nothing goes wrong, I can turn a blind eye. But since you've set your sights on the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, don't blame me."
As the masked youth spoke, beads of cold sweat began to drip from the forehead of the middle-aged man on the ground.
His body trembled slightly.
"Captain... Captain, please... give me another chance. I never intended to betray you!"
"never mind."
The masked youth looked down at the middle-aged man and said, "Feng Qi, you should understand the fate of those who disobey orders in my Phoenix Flame army. Letting you return to your clan is already the most lenient treatment I can give you. After you return, go and guard the burial ground for a hundred years. If you are still alive after a hundred years, I will give you the chance to return."
Upon hearing Huang Yan's words, Feng Qi knew there was no turning back. He knelt on one knee, a hint of regret on his face.
Having guarded the burial ground for a hundred years, only the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan knows the meaning of this punishment. In a place like the burial ground, even a Dou Zun expert could perish there if he is not careful, let alone himself who is only at the peak of Dou Zong.
But now, he has no other choice.
Chao Huangyan bowed respectfully, and Feng Qi turned and left, no longer displaying his previous arrogant demeanor.
Watching Feng Qi leave, Huang Yan's gaze fell on the other clansmen again, his tone cold: "I didn't want to emphasize to you again that you have already joined my team, so you can only follow my rules. From now on, if anyone causes trouble, then you should think about where you will be buried! Go down and keep a close eye on the news from Feng Lei Pavilion. Once you find the target's whereabouts, assemble immediately."
Huang Yan waved his hand, and then disappeared from the spot.
......................
Outside Mingzhu City, Xiao Fan was on his way back when he happened to run into Feng Qi, who was leaving at that moment.
With Xiao Fan's powerful soul perception and the gaze of his golden eyes, he easily saw through Feng Qi's identity.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"
A hint of doubt appeared on Xiao Fan's face.
"Leaving Pearl City at this time, could it be some kind of conspiracy?"
Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, no longer in a hurry to return to Pearl City. In any case, he had left his soul imprint on Xiao Yan and Zi Yan before leaving, and since it hadn't been triggered, it meant that the two were not in danger.
Xiao Fan followed behind Feng Qi, heading towards the outskirts of Mingzhu City.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Fan was shocked to discover that Feng Qi was heading in the same direction he had come from. This meant that Feng Qi's destination was the place where he and Lei Zunzhe had fought...
Still unaware of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's purpose, Xiao Fan wasn't in a hurry. He simply followed behind Feng Qi and returned to the battle position they had just left.
Soon, the devastated mountains came into view. Perhaps because of the powerful aura of the two fighting, there were no magical beasts here, and no foolish humans dared to come and join the fun at this time.
Feng Qi landed at the location where Xiao Fan and Lei Zun were fighting, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding battlefield. Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and the image of the Demon Phoenix Saint appeared behind him.
"Demon Phoenix Statue, open!"
Feng Qi stood in the center of the arena, with the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue appearing behind him. He spoke with some difficulty, and dense battle qi surged into the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue behind him. The Demon Phoenix Saint Statue behind him, whose eyes were tightly closed, gradually trembled, as if it was about to open its eyes.
What are you doing?!
At this critical moment, a curious voice rang in Feng Qi's ears. Startled, the energy within Feng Qi's body instantly became unbalanced, and the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue behind him also exploded instantly.
"puff!"
Feng Qi's face immediately paled, and his aura became slightly weaker. He turned to look at Xiao Fan beside him, who seemed indifferent, and a hint of hatred appeared on his face.
"Xiao Fan!"
As Xiao Fan and his companions were wanted by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Feng Qi had naturally seen Xiao Fan's portrait before. However, he never expected to encounter Xiao Fan here.
"Buzz!"
Upon seeing Xiao Fan, a ruthless glint flashed in Feng Qi's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, the energy within his body instantly surged violently, and his entire body expanded in an instant, transforming into a Heavenly Demon Phoenix that was over ten zhang in size!
"Shh!"
The ferocious, sharp claws instantly tore towards Xiao Fan, slamming into the spot on Xiao Fan's head with terrifying force.
"Tsk tsk, how rude..."
Seeing that even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix couldn't break through the spatial barrier, Xiao Fan didn't hold back. Chaos Fire roared out instantly, enveloping the opponent in the blink of an eye.
"There are still many good people in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."
Looking at the five drops of cyan and red essence blood he had just obtained, Xiao Fan sighed and felt a surge of anticipation for the arrival of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Chapter 151 Birth
Having easily dealt with Feng Qi, Xiao Fan checked the spot and found no trace left. Without lingering, he took flight and headed towards Pearl City.
Inside the courtyard where Lei Zun and Huang Yan had been talking, Huang Yan suddenly frowned and looked toward where Feng Qi was.
"Young...Captain, what's wrong?"
A robust Heavenly Phoenix looked at Huang Yan with curiosity in its eyes. It looked up and examined the direction Huang Yan was staring at, but found nothing. It looked at Huang Yan and asked in confusion.
"Feng Qi is dead."
A cold aura emanated from Huang Yan. He turned to look at the robust Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members behind him and ordered, "Kui Niu, immediately give the order that from now on, no one in the clan is allowed to travel alone. Form groups of three. If you encounter any danger, no matter how strong the enemy is, send a message to us first."
"Yes!"
Hearing the seriousness in Huang Yan's tone, Kui Niu dared not refute and immediately nodded in agreement. He then turned and left, relaying Huang Yan's arrangements.
“Xiao Fan…”
Huang Yan remained where he was, his gaze still fixed on the direction where Feng Qi had died, a chilling killing intent constantly swirling around his body.
.................
In a secluded courtyard within Pearl City, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, whose appearances had long since changed, huddled together, carefully concealing their auras.
"Those fighting outside just now must have been Xiao Fan and Lei Zun Zhe, right?"
Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan beside her with curiosity in her eyes and asked him.
"Yes, the aura is correct, it should be Senior Brother without a doubt. As for the other person, judging from the intensity of the lightning I felt at the time, it is very likely that it is Thunder Venerable."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although he had great faith in Xiao Fan's strength, his opponent was, after all, a veteran powerhouse who had been famous in Zhongzhou for a long time. Moreover, in addition to Lei Zun Zhe, there were also powerful figures from the Tian Yao Huang Clan and Feng Lei Ge who were secretly eyeing him. He didn't know if his senior brother could handle it.
Previously, if he hadn't noticed something was wrong in time and pulled Zi Yan away to hide their tracks, they probably would have been surrounded by the Fenglei Pavilion and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan long ago.
After all, after they left their residence, they didn't run far away immediately, but instead watched their home from a distance.
Sure enough, no sooner had they left than dozens of figures surrounded their former residence.
"We can only hope that our senior brother can escape danger and turn good luck into good luck. We just don't know what the outcome of his battle with Venerable Lei will be."
Just as Xiao Yan and Zi Yan were focusing on the battle between Xiao Fan and Lei Zun Zhe, Xiao Fan, who had rushed back to Mingzhu City, also sensed the presence of Xiao Yan and Zi Yan. With a swift movement, he disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.
"Junior brother, Ziyan!"
Xiao Fan looked at the two people huddled together, gently patted their shoulders, and saw that they were startled. A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face.
"Brother! You're back!"
Xiao Yan, who was worried about Xiao Fan, was excited to see Xiao Fan appear in front of him. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He looked at Xiao Fan and asked, "Senior brother, how was it? Was the person you fought earlier Lei Zun Zhe?"
Xiao Fan nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words and said, "Yes, it was indeed Venerable Lei. I went to stop him because I sensed his aura."
"So, Xiao Fan, who is stronger, you or Thunder Venerable?"
Zi Yan suddenly stood up and moved closer to Xiao Fan, her tone full of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan shook his head, looked at Xiao Yan who also showed curiosity, reached out and placed his hands on their heads, rubbing their heads vigorously, and said, "I failed to keep Venerable Lei."
Xiao Fan was telling the truth. After all, he wanted to fish, but Lei Zun Zhe didn't take the bait and eventually escaped.
However, these words took on a different meaning when heard by Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.
After all, in their view, although Xiao Fan had also broken through to the Dou Zun realm, he had only just broken through not long ago, and Lei Zun, as a veteran powerhouse, was naturally no match for Xiao Fan. It was just that Xiao Fan was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he said that he had failed to keep Lei Zun.
"Xiao Fan!"
Zi Yan suddenly shouted, reached out and patted Xiao Fan's shoulder, and said in a smug tone, "Don't worry, leave Lei Zun to me. Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely beat Lei Zun to a pulp and avenge you!"
Xiao Fan: ? ? ?
Xiao Fan looked at the suddenly excited Zi Yan with a puzzled expression, then turned his head to Xiao Yan beside him and found that Xiao Yan also looked ashamed and then brave. Xiao Fan's puzzled expression became even more pronounced.
However, seeing that Xiao Fan and Zi Yan didn't seem to have anything else wrong, and knowing that hard work was a good thing, Xiao Fan ignored it and patted Zi Yan's head again, saying, "Hmm, young man, I have high hopes for you!"
Seeing Xiao Fan's reaction, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan felt even more that Xiao Fan had suffered a loss at the hands of Lei Zun Zhe, and their desire for cultivation grew even stronger.
With Xiao Fan in charge, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan felt relieved again. Watching Xiao Fan skillfully take out a recliner and sunbathe there, Xiao Yan silently walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
Zi Yan glanced at the two completely different fellow disciples, and remembering that she had just promised Xiao Fan to help him avenge his family, she finally gave up her reclining chair and, like Xiao Yan, began to cultivate.
Looking at the two people cultivating, Xiao Fan smiled and, as the rocking chair swayed back and forth, took out a crimson storage ring from his pocket.
