Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 727: The Goddess Kneels
"Just a month ago, all the purple crystal mines were collected and secretly brought back to Phoenix City with hundreds of space rings and hidden in the forbidden area. When everything is settled, they can start refining. The 200,000 troops are still there, and they continue to do the same thing as before, in order to continue to confuse the four holy places and divert their attention." Feng Hengkong said without hesitation. He had a feeling a long time ago that Yun Che's eyes seemed to be able to see through any lies.
"Really? Then congratulations on the smooth and successful completion of your laborious "grand plan"!" Yun Che sneered.
"Humph, since I dare to say it, I have already realized it. When my sect finishes refining the purple veined divine crystal, I will give ten kilograms to the Cangfeng royal family!" Feng Hengkong said coldly. For the small country of Cangfeng, let alone ten kilograms of purple veined divine crystal, I am afraid that the emperors of all generations have probably never seen the real purple veined divine crystal. Purple veined heavenly crystal is already the supreme holy object.
"Ten jin? Hahaha!" Yun Che laughed loudly: "These originally belonged to our Cangfeng Nation. The Phoenix Sect Master actually returned ten jins. He is really generous."
"You..." Feng Hengkong's face was full of anger. He was about to fight back, but when he met Feng Xue'er's eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out. He held his breath and said in a low voice: "Fifteen jin... This is my limit."
"No, I don't want it. You should keep it for yourselves!"
Yun Che's disdain was clearly written on his face. He didn't have a trace of greed for the "Purple Vein Divine Crystal" mentioned by Feng Hengkong, and his words didn't look like a joke at all. This made Feng Hengkong stunned... The Purple Vein Divine Crystal is the highest and most sacred existence in the Tianxuan Continent. It is a sacred object that all Xuan practitioners dream of. When he told the truth, he was already prepared to be "blackmailed" by Yun Che. He never thought that someone could be so indifferent to the temptation of the Purple Vein Divine Crystal.
"But I want to advise the Phoenix Sect Master... Be careful that there will be a second 'Feng Feiyan' among those who know about these amethyst mines!" Yun Che said sarcastically.
"I will not be so foolish as to allow this to happen a second time, so don't worry about it." Feng Hengkong said coldly. Obviously, he was very confident about this matter. Those who knew about the existence of these amethyst mines in the sect were all real "confidants". And except for himself, Feng Ximing, Feng Tianwei and other sect master bloodlines, the relevant memories of other people who knew about the existence of amethyst mines were caged like Feng Huwei. They could not be spoken, written or transmitted in any way. If they were searched, this part of the memory would be directly disintegrated.
It was precisely because of Feng Feiyan's lesson that the Phoenix Divine Sect chose to take such an extreme measure.
"I have something to remind you of." Feng Hengkong continued, "The reason why things in Floating Cloud City went so smoothly is thanks to a weirdo named Fen Juechen. He attracted more than 90% of our attention! And it is said that the reason he appeared in Floating Cloud City was to kill you! Now that you are still alive, he must have known that you are alive. Don't let it get you into trouble!"
Yun Che: "..."
"Ah? You want to kill Brother Yun?" Feng Xue'er was startled, but immediately smiled and comforted: "It doesn't matter, Brother Yun is so powerful, he will definitely not be in danger. Xue'er will also protect Brother Yun very seriously."
"Xue'er, you... Alas." Feng Hengkong twitched his eyebrows, feeling very depressed.
When Feng Xue'er just appeared before, Jasmine immediately told Yun Che that Feng Xue'er's profound strength was as high as the eighth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, far exceeding even Feng Tianwei. If Feng Xue'er really protected him by his side, it would be a fantasy for Fen Juechen to kill him.
——————————————
The storm that Yun Che had stirred up in the Divine Phoenix Empire these days had already spread to the Blue Wind Imperial City. Yesterday, when Yun Che sent a message that he would be back with Feng Hengkong and Princess Xue this evening, Cang Yue was so excited that she could not sleep all night. Just after noon today, she was already waiting in the Imperial Palace.
Although she had great confidence and trust in Yun Che, she was worried about him all the time during his stay in the Divine Phoenix Empire.
Her greatest wish was that Yun Che could return safely. In comparison, the result was not that important.
The sky was dark and dusk had arrived. A huge profound boat like a red flame appeared in the sky above the Blue Wind Imperial City, causing an uproar in the city. The Phoenix Divine Boat stopped right above the Imperial Palace and slowly fell down. Because it was too huge, it did not land on the ground, but floated in the air. The profound energy swaying around it brought up waves of heat like a storm.
"That's... the Phoenix Divine Boat?" Qin Wushang, who came with Cangyue, looked at the huge thing in the air that released overwhelming pressure and scorching breath, his face full of shock. There were very few Xuanzhous in Cangfeng Country, and he had never seen such a powerful Xuanzhou in his life.
"That's right." Dongfang Xiu nodded slowly: "I had the honor to see it once when I accompanied the late emperor to participate in the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament."
"Your Majesty said that Yun Che, Feng Hengkong, and the legendary Princess Snow came on the Phoenix Divine Boat together, and there was no fourth person... Is it true or false?" Qin Wushang whispered, his face full of disbelief. The news from Shenhuang these days: Yun Che made a big fuss in Phoenix City, destroyed the Phoenix statue, killed several princes, and undoubtedly forged an irreconcilable blood feud with the Phoenix Divine Sect, and it was a life-and-death feud... But yesterday, Cangyue suddenly heard such news.
Although it was Yun Che who said it himself, and Cang Yue said it himself, almost no one dared to believe that Feng Hengkong would only bring Princess Xue with him. He is the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix, the leader of the Phoenix Sect, and the most noble and unparalleled existence in the Seven Profound Sky Kingdoms. Even if he went to the weakest and disaster-shrouded Cang Feng, he should not be so alone.
"Master told me what the Phoenix Divine Boat looks like, and it must be right! Brother-in-law!" Xia Yuanba's face was full of excitement. Looking at the already stopped Phoenix Divine Boat, he was about to rush over.
The number one in the world grabbed him and said, "Don't go over first, so as to avoid accidents."
"That's right... Yuanba, it is rumored that Feng Hengkong's profound strength is as high as the peak of the Tyrant Profound Realm. If anything unexpected happens, only you can protect Her Majesty the Queen." Qin Wushang reminded in a low voice.
"I know." Xia Yuanba nodded, followed Xia Qingyue less than ten steps away, and did not act rashly again.
The door of the Phoenix Divine Boat opened, and Yun Che was the first to walk out from it, and then slowly fell down. Seeing Yun Che was safe and sound, Cang Yue's bright eyes sparkled with infinite joy. She didn't care about the occasion, let alone her identity, and came to greet him in a fluttering phoenix dress: "Husband, you are back."
"Yes." Yun Che held Cang Yue's hand, then turned sideways: "The 'distinguished guest' I mentioned in the voice transmission has also arrived."
Under the unclosed boat door, a man in red clothes appeared. Feng Hengkong walked out of the boat door, but did not land immediately. He glanced around with a calm gaze and smelled the bleakness and gunpowder in the air.
His imperial majesty and majestic momentum had no effect on Yun Che, but it did not mean that it could not affect others. The moment his figure appeared, everyone's eyes fell on him uncontrollably, but they dared not touch his eyes. Their breathing and heartbeats stopped in an instant, and their chests and souls seemed to be pressed by a piece of iron plate, trembling in the oppression.
"The Emperor of the Divine Phoenix..." Yun Che did not need to explain. This heavy and extremely domineering aura had instantly confirmed his identity. Superior profound strength, superb status, and superb identity... Under the gaze and pressure of this red-clothed man, even Dongfang Xiu, who was at the top level of the Blue Wind Nation, had a strong sense of humility.
"Yuan Ba, stay alert at all times." Dongfang Xiu whispered. As the lord of the Blue Wind Xuanfu, he clearly felt that he was as small as an ant in front of the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix and the Phoenix Sect Master.
They did not know what happened to the Divine Phoenix, let alone the purpose of Feng Hengkong's arrival, so everyone's nerves were tense and their backs were covered with cold sweat.
"He is the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix, Feng Hengkong." Yun Che said to Cang Yue: "Don't worry, he came as a sinner this time, and he will not do anything that is not good for us."
Feng Hengkong's body sank from the air and landed in front of Yun Che and Cang Yue. From the moment he appeared, the smile on Cang Yue's face had completely frozen, and the hand held by Yun Che suddenly tightened. She tried her best to restrain... and restrain again... but her body still couldn't help but tremble faintly, and in her beautiful eyes, there was a deep hatred that was so deep that it was piercing her soul.
It was him who killed her father! Trampled her land and people... and made the entire Cang Feng fall into hell for three years! It also made her struggle to support the nightmare for three years!
Although she hated Ying Qiankun, she was facing a too powerful Divine Phoenix. She never expected to take revenge, and she didn't even think that she would meet Feng Hengkong. She didn't think that one day, she would be able to face the culprit of all this directly...
Cang Yue's little hand quickly turned cold, and the trembling of her body and the trembling of her breath were clearly transmitted to Yun Che. Yun Che held her hand tighter, telling her that he was by her side.
Facing Cang Yue, who lost her voice for a long time due to emotional outburst, Feng Hengkong did not speak, and his momentum was not weak at all. Yun Che said calmly: "Feng Hengkong, this is the palace of Cangfeng Nation! The one in front of you is the current monarch of Cangfeng Nation! You won't forget what you came here for, right?"
"Humph!" Feng Hengkong snorted: "I have come here, and I don't even have a guard elder by my side. Can you still generously give me a way out? Queen Cangyue, I know that I have caused your Cangfeng Nation great suffering in the past three years, and the whole country is in chaos. The whole Cangfeng must hate me to the core. Your father was also stabbed by my own order! How can you ask me to atone for your sins now? Just open your mouth, and I will never frown at all!!"
Although Feng Hengkong had clearly called for atonement, the momentum between his words and gestures was incomparably strong. After all, he was the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix, and Cangfeng Nation was a humble place to him, and even to the most ordinary poor people of the Divine Phoenix Nation. It has been like this since the founding of Cangfeng Nation a thousand years ago. He can admit defeat and atone for his sins, but he will not be weak! Because the matter has come to this point only because of Yun Che, not the Cangfeng Imperial Family!
"The Emperor of the Divine Phoenix... The Master of the Phoenix... Feng Hengkong..." Cang Yue's face turned slightly pale, but her expression and voice finally maintained enough calmness and imperial majesty, but the hatred flashing in her beautiful eyes could not be suppressed no matter what: "My Cangfeng Imperial Family has always respected you, the Divine Phoenix, for thousands of years, but you actually harmed my Cangfeng like this... I want you to give me, give me Cangfeng a reason first!!"
Feng Hengkong turned his eyes away, with a completely non-responsive attitude.
"He is... the... dog emperor of the Divine Phoenix!" Behind the crowd, the general commander of the Cangfeng Army, Feng Yunlie, grabbed the handle of the knife with his hand, his face red and ferocious, and the anger and resentment that rushed to the top made the dozen wounds on his face almost burst... Because of this person, how many brothers shed blood on the battlefield! !
"Don't be impulsive. He is not only the emperor of Shenhuang, but also the leader of the Phoenix Divine Sect. Even if there are ten thousand of you, you won't be able to hurt even a hair on his head." Qin Wushang said with a sidelong glance.
With a light "clang" sound, Feng Yunlie pulled the steel knife out three inches. He stared at Feng Hengkong, gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "What I dreamed of most in the past was seeing this dog emperor and then chopping him into 1,800 pieces with my own hands! Now this dog emperor is right in front of me. Even if he is ten thousand times more powerful, I... I... I... I... Oh my god..."
Feng Yunlie was like being hit on the head by a sledgehammer. His expression full of hatred and his eyes looking forward became dull little by little, and even the voice in his mouth gradually became vague like a dream.
Not only Feng Yunlie, but everyone's expressions and eyes suddenly became dull and hazy at this moment.
Because in their sight, a beautiful and dreamy scenery suddenly appeared.
A girl in red slowly descended from the Phoenix Divine Boat. The red on her phoenix dress was richer than Feng Hengkong's, and the gold was more noble and dazzling than Feng Hengkong's. When everyone looked at her, their hearts and souls were instantly stirred up like a storm. Because, it was a face and charm that was so beautiful that it was beyond description and modification. The moment their eyes touched, the whole person seemed to fall into an illusory dream, witnessing a girl who walked out of the illusion...
Feng Xue'er gently descended and walked slowly. In the past, she occasionally appeared in the sect, wearing a phoenix jade glass on her head and not showing her face. But today, she came with a pure, guilty, and sincere heart to atone for her sins, and also took off the cover she had been wearing all along.
Cang Yue, who was facing Feng Xue'er head-on, was also completely stunned. The girl in front of him was as beautiful as a goddess who walked out of the sky, and people could not believe that she would appear in the mortal world. As a woman, when she looked at Feng Xue'er, her entire soul, will, and faith were also lost in it uncontrollably, and even the deep hatred that had erupted towards Feng Hengkong just now was completely forgotten.
"In this world, there is actually someone who can surpass Xia Qingyue in appearance..." Cangyue whispered absentmindedly, almost forgetting the existence of Feng Hengkong.
When Cangyue looked at Feng Xue'er, Feng Xue'er was also looking at her, and from her movements, she saw her attachment to Yun Che. She walked to the side of Feng Hengkong and stopped, and said softly: "Feng Xue'er, the princess of the Divine Phoenix, greets the Queen Cangyue..."
The fairy sound was as soft as the wind, brushing through the heart, making everyone feel that their hearts were almost purified. Feng Xue'er lowered her head slightly, and slowly bent her knees...
"Xue'er...what are you doing!!" Feng Xue'er's action shocked Feng Hengkong. He roared and stretched out his hand like lightning, grabbing Feng Xue'er's shoulder.
However, after the awakening of the Phoenix Soul, Feng Xue'er possessed a profound force that could even crush Feng Tianwei, so how could Feng Hengkong's power stop her? In Feng Hengkong's eyes, Feng Xue'er faced Cang Yue, touched the ground with her knees, and knelt there.
"Xue'er! What are you doing! Get up...get up! In this world, no one is qualified to make you kneel down! Xue'er!!" Feng Hengkong pulled Feng Xue'er's arm and tried to pull her up, but no matter how hard he tried, the voice in his throat was almost hoarse, but he couldn't even make Feng Xue'er's body shake slightly.
"No one in this world is qualified to make you kneel down." Feng Hengkong's words were not exaggerated at all. Because she was not only the only princess of the Phoenix Empire and the Phoenix Sect, but also the future "God" of the Phoenix Sect! She was also the only one in the entire Tianxuan Continent who had obtained the complete divine inheritance, possessed the most noble bloodline, and was the closest to "God"!
When she fully grows up, her power will surpass the Holy Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Heavenly Monarch, the Sword Master, and other holy land masters who are the best in the world. The divine bloodline she possessed was something that others could not obtain no matter how long they worked or how rich their resources were.
Therefore, after the Phoenix God disappeared, there was really no one more noble than her on the Tianxuan Continent.
As the Emperor of the Phoenix, Feng Hengkong's fourteen sons had to kneel down to him every day. But for so many years, he had never let Feng Xue'er kneel in front of him. Even if Feng Xue'er wanted to, he would not allow it, and he could even say that he dared not accept it.
But now, she knelt down... in front of the emperor of the humble country of Cangfeng.
Emperor Cangfeng… All along, even a lowly Phoenix disciple would only look askance at her, or even disdain her.
Her kneeling was a fact, Feng Hengkong could not stop her, and could not even make her stand up. After a long period of panic, he sighed… How could Feng Xue’er not know that she was the second Phoenix God of the Phoenix Sect, and how could she not know the dignity of her bloodline and identity, but she still knelt in front of the emperor of a small Cangfeng country… just to atone for the sins of her father!
The previous domineering aura completely collapsed, and Feng Hengkong’s face twitched… The blood debt and sins he had committed, in the end, had to be borne and redeemed by Feng Xue’er with him. Deep remorse made this arrogant emperor for a hundred years want to hold his head and cry.
Bang! !
Feng Hengkong’s knees slammed hard on the ground… He had only kneeled to the Phoenix God and his biological parents in his life, and at this moment, he knelt heavily in front of Cangyue. Faced with Feng Xue'er kneeling down to atone for his sins, how could he continue to uphold his imperial dignity?
"Divine Phoenix Emperor Feng Hengkong, for his own selfish desires, willed his own way, and used any means to make the lives of Cangfeng ruined and blood flow into rivers. His crimes are so heinous that both humans and gods are angry. They are unforgivable... Now I only ask Emperor Cangfeng to punish me, even if Cangfeng wants to take me. Life, no regrets!"
Feng Hengkong lowered his head and said word by word words that he had never thought he would say in his life.
The entire Blue Wind Palace was filled with deathly silence, and one could hear a needle drop. Xia Yuanba, Dongfang Xiu, Qin Wushang, Feng Yunlie and others were all stunned there, their brains completely shut down, and they couldn't believe the pictures they saw and the sounds they heard for a long time.
Cang Yue also stayed there, at a loss for a moment. Yun Che stretched out his hand to Feng Xue'er, but after taking a step, he slowly stepped back... He knew that doing this would be too unfair to Feng Xue'er. Just like Feng Hengkong shouted, in this world , no one is qualified to make her kneel down, not even Feng Hengkong, who is Feng Xue'er's father.
But maybe this can make Feng Xue'er feel better.
Her heart was too pure and kind. After she knew the truth of everything, the numerous sins and blood debts Feng Hengkong carried weighed heavily on her heart. During the two days and one night on the Feng Shenzhou, he had always faintly sensed an aura suppressed by guilt and guilt in Feng Xue'er.
