Against the Gods

Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 456: The Conspiracy in the Xuanzhou

"You want to go alone? No! Absolutely not!" Feng Hengkong shook his head without hesitation: "This world of the Ancient Profound Ark is strange and unpredictable. Even Father has to be careful in it. He might encounter some danger. You must always be with Father, otherwise Father will never be at ease."

"But Father said that this is the safest place in the entire Ancient Profound Ark, and the place Father is going to now is much more dangerous. Wouldn't it be safer for Xue'er to just play around alone?" Feng Xue'er said softly.

"This..." Feng Hengkong paused, then shook his head: "Xue'er, you have never left Shenhuang City since you were a child, and you have never been to a dangerous place alone, so your father can't rest assured that you are alone."

"Well, Xue'er knows that Xue'er has grown up under the protection of your father and the elders since she was a child. However, Xue'er has to grow up, and it is impossible for her to do everything under the protection of her father. Xue'er is already sixteen years old this year, and she has reached the age of making her own decisions and training herself. Isn't this just a good starting point? Does your father hope that Xue'er will always grow up under protection and never have her own world?"

Feng Xue'er's voice was filled with deep hope, and even a hint of desire.

Feng Hengkong was moved, but he still couldn't rest assured that Feng Xue'er was really walking alone in this dangerous place. After all, for so many years, he had been accustomed to giving Feng Xue'er the ultimate protection. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Feiyan came over and whispered in his ear: "Master, what Xue'er said is not wrong. She is already sixteen years old this year... Although it is right to give her full protection, it cannot be protected like this forever, otherwise, she will never be able to stand on her own, and it will waste her blood and strength. Besides, Xue'er's strength has been exposed in yesterday's ranking battle, and hiding... is not necessary."

"And with Xue'er's strength, there is nothing within a thousand miles around that can pose a threat to her. As for other people who are alone... Even if Ye Xinghan and Ji Qianrou join forces, they can't be Xue'er's opponents. If the master is still worried..." Feng Feiyan gave Feng Hengkong a strange look: "Then I will stay and protect Xue'er in secret, which is just right..."

Feng Feiyan was right. With Feng Xue'er's strength, there is no danger within a thousand miles around. If Feng Feiyan is secretly protecting her, it will be even more foolproof... At the same time, if Feng Feiyan kills Yun Che, it will be even more foolproof!

Feng Hengkong no longer had any doubts, and nodded slowly to Feng Xue'er: "Okay, Xue'er is right, you have grown up, and it is indeed time for you to make your own decisions and experience yourself. But you must remember what your father said to you before, and be careful in everything."

"Wow... Thank you, father! Then Xue'er will leave by herself, and your father should also remember to be careful." Feng Xue'er responded happily, then waved to Feng Hengkong, flew up lightly, and went to the east... which was also the direction where Yun Che and Xia Yuanba left before.

"Alas, this child..." Feng Hengkong shook his head and smiled.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, there is nothing here that can threaten Xue'er, and I am protecting her in secret, so you can go with peace of mind." Feng Feiyan said with a smile.

Not long after, Feng Feiyan also flew up and flew slowly in the direction where Feng Xue'er went.

——————————————————

"...Master said before that this is a high-level world, but I don't understand what 'high-level world' means at all. On the contrary...here, the sound transmission jade and everything used for sound transmission cannot be used. Even the sound transmission of profound energy cannot be used. The range of profound force perception will also be very small."

Since Yun Che did not have the ability to fly yet, Xia Yuanba also walked on the ground with him. The two of them walked for more than ten miles at a moderate speed. There was still a grassland in front of them, and they still could not see the end. Hearing Xia Yuanba's last words, Yun Che tried to release his perception...Sure enough, his perception only reached a distance of less than twenty feet, and could no longer extend.

"Sure enough, it's very strange." Yun Che said. Two years ago, the Tianchi Secret Realm he entered was also an independent small world, but the feeling of the ancient Xuanzhou world was very different from the Tianchi Secret Realm, but he couldn't say where the difference was.

The two of them walked forward while talking, and their speed gradually increased. In the grassland area, they did not encounter any mysterious beasts, and as for rare and precious herbs, they did not see even a single plant. It was extremely barren. After more than an hour, they finally stepped out of the grassland area, and in front of them was an endless wasteland.

Entering the wasteland area, the wind became gentle and bleak, and the surrounding atmosphere also changed subtly. This slight change also subconsciously raised Yun Che's vigilance. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind a huge rock and rushed straight towards Yun Che and Xia Yuanba... It was a huge black scorpion! The long scorpion tail flashed with colorful light belonging to the highly poisonous.

Yun Che moved his wrist, his body flashed, and he instantly appeared under the giant scorpion. The Dragon Fault blasted out like lightning and hit the giant scorpion's abdomen fiercely.

Bang! !

The giant scorpion was smashed and rolled in the air, then fell heavily. At the moment it landed, Xia Yuanba quickly rushed up, roared, and punched the giant scorpion. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the giant scorpion's body was directly blown apart, shattering into countless pieces that flew far away. Pieces of black blood spilled, and the ground was dyed completely black wherever it fell. Two drops of blood splashed on Xia Yuanba's arm.

Yun Che quickly stepped forward and used the Sky Poison Pearl to purify the poisonous blood on Xia Yuanba's body, while feeling secretly shocked in his heart. The poisonous giant scorpion's body was extremely tough. Long Fault's powerful blow only knocked it away but failed to cause any damage to its body. However, Xia Yuanba knocked it out with just a casual punch without the help of weapons. It was blown to smithereens...

Xia Yuanba's current strength is actually so terrifying.

"There are mysterious beasts starting to appear. Brother-in-law, you have to be a little more careful." Xia Yuanba kicked away the broken corpses at his feet, then waved his arms and said, "But brother-in-law, don't worry too much, there won't be any monsters around here." What a powerful mysterious beast, with the strength of my brother-in-law and me, nothing can threaten us. "

"If your sister knew your current strength, she would definitely be shocked." Yun Che looked at Xia Yuanba and said seriously.

"Brother Yun!"

At this time, a clear and light voice, like fairy music, came from behind them. Yun Che's footsteps paused and he quickly turned back... This voice was clearly Feng Xue'er's!

As soon as he looked back, he saw the figure of a stunningly beautiful girl in the sky. She slowly fell from the sky, her posture as graceful as a dancing red butterfly. Although she was still wearing the phoenix jade glazed crown, Yun Che could feel her excitement: "Xue'er!? Why are you here? Where are your father and the others?"

Feng Xue'er landed in front of Yun Che and said happily: "Father and the others are going to explore the inside of the profound ark, please allow me to move freely by myself."

"Why did your father allow you to be alone? He didn't even allow you to leave Divine Phoenix City before." Yun Che said in surprise.

"Hehe," Feng Xue'er smiled sweetly: "I told my father what Brother Yun said to me at the beginning, telling him that I had grown up and reached the age where I should be independent and make my own decisions, and my father agreed. ”

"That's it..." Yun Che nodded slightly. Although he still didn't believe that Feng Hengkong would really trust Feng Xue'er to act alone in this world where unknown dangers may exist, Feng Xue'er stood there. In front of him, he had to believe it.

Looking at Feng Xue'er so close at hand, Yun Che's mood naturally became happy. He thought that the next time he would see her at close range would be in an unknown year, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to get along with her again so soon. He smiled and said: "Then... Xue'er, do we want to come together?"

"Yes!" Feng Xue'er nodded vigorously. If she opened the phoenix jade glass at this time, she would see that her beautiful eyes had curved into a bright crescent moon. She said with a smile: "Brother Yun, what do you want? Protect Xue'er... Well, there's also big brother, you have to protect Xue'er too."

The "big brother" kept staring at the two of them with his eyes fixed. It was not until Feng Xue'er spoke to him that he shook his head, widened his eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, you... know each other?"

"Yes," Yun Che nodded: "Xue'er saved my life before."

Yun Che's words caused Xia Yuanba's eyes to look at Feng Xue'er to change suddenly... Just because he had saved Yun Che, let alone the Princess Snow of the Divine Phoenix Sect, even if she was a heinous old witch, he would In awe and gratitude. He patted his chest and said: "You have saved my brother-in-law's life, which is equivalent to saving my life. Don't worry, I will not let anyone dare to bully you, whether it is a person or a mysterious beast... Uh, etc!"

Xia Yuanba suddenly thought of what Master Gu Cang had said to Feng Xue'er yesterday, and his voice suddenly stopped, and then he started to stutter: "Little girl...oh no no, Princess Xue, your profound power...is really good." Is he...a half-step emperor?"

"That's right!" Feng Xue'er nodded casually, as if this was not something she was too proud of or concerned about: "By the time I turn twenty, my profound strength should be able to reach the level of a true Jun Xuan. Really, isn’t it awesome?”

"Awesome...awesome..." Xia Yuanba swallowed hard and nodded stiffly. He has stayed in Huangji Sanctuary for nearly two years, and has seen countless powerful people who only existed in legends in the past. His vision has long been different from what it used to be... But even in Huangji Sanctuary, there has never been anyone under the age of twenty. The emperor! Not to mention Xia Yuanba, even Gu Cang, the real person, became pale on the spot yesterday when he noticed Feng Xue'er's strength.

"You... you... are you really only sixteen years old? How on earth did you practice!" Xia Yuanba couldn't help but ask.

"This is a secret, I won't tell you." Feng Xue'er replied with a smile, and then came to Yun Che: "Brother Yun, where should we go to play? We can spend the next eleven hours together with Brother Yun Che It’s over, I’m so happy.”

"Where do you want Xue'er to go?"

"Well...actually, it's okay! Let me tell Brother Yun a secret. I left my father and went alone just to find Brother Yun. But it's so empty here and the range of perception has become so small. I lost my way just now. I thought I couldn’t find it…”

Xia Yuanba, who was left alone, stared blankly at the two people standing close together, and silently reached out and scratched his head... Their relationship seemed to be very good, but it was strange. Didn't the master mean Xue from the Divine Phoenix Sect? The princess was never allowed to have contact with anyone...

——————————————

Same time, another place.

"Great Elder Phoenix? Why are you here?"

Ye Xinghan turned around and squinted at Feng Feiyan who was looking for him from behind. Yue Ji and Mei Ji beside him also slowly dispersed, each showing a short knife in their hands, and their eyes became cold. This world of the Ancient Mysterious Ark is a perfect place to kill people, because killing here will not be seen or noticed by others around, and after the Ancient Mysterious Ark disappears, all traces will also disappear completely, so there is nothing to worry about. Feng Feiyan is the great elder of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and is also a high-level Tyrant Emperor of the eighth level of Tyrant Profound Realm. Ye Xinghan is definitely not his opponent.

"Don't be nervous. This Phoenix elder is the smartest person in the entire Phoenix Divine Sect. He came to see me for good reasons, not bad ones." Ye Xinghan stretched out his hand and took the initiative to walk towards Feng Feiyan: "You didn't go exploring with Feng Hengkong and the others? Could it be that you have other plans?"

"Hehe." Feng Feiyan smiled meaningfully: "Of course, I came to bring good news to the young palace master... The gift I was going to give to the young palace master no longer needs to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it can be done today. Moreover, it can be done without any mistakes."

"Oh?" Ye Xinghan looked up.

"The young palace master wanted Feng Xue'er, she did not go deep with Feng Hengkong, but acted alone... And the reason why I didn't follow in was to follow Feng Hengkong's wishes, secretly protect Feng Xue'er, and kill Yun Che, the overconfident rat!"

Feng Feiyan's words made Ye Xinghan's eyes suddenly light up, and then he raised his hands and laughed wildly...
