Chapter 1626: Unexpected disaster

There were banging sounds as if invisible hands were knocking at the inn's door. The lanterns outside were swaying in the wind. Their flames had already been blown out, leaving nothing but darkness.

The crowd inside the inn were quiet as they listened to the movements outside. Except for those who were lying on the table drunk, the others were staring outside vigilantly.

The people on the second floor acted the same as those on the first floor. However, they took comfort in having one more layer of the protective boundary.

When everyone stared out at the sight below with vigilance, Feng Xiao was still asleep in the corner of the second floor. It was normal that he couldn't hear the eerie whistling sound of the wind because he had set up a soundproof boundary.

"Tch! What an easy-going man."

A loose cultivator glanced at the sleeping Feng Xiao and sneered. "He won't have any idea how he dies."

The others also glanced at Feng Xiao, watching the spectacle with interest.

As the night grew deeper and closer to midnight, some of the men prepared to go out while others decided to watch. Primordial spirit fruits could be picked in the valley at the back mountain, less than a hundred meters away from this place.

Those on the first floor went together in groups. Although they knew that Yin energy was the heaviest at midnight, tonight was the time when primordial spirit fruits ripened and fell to the ground. All kinds of ghosts would contend for the fruits, not to mention them.

Even ghosts would get a hundred years of cultivation after obtaining a piece of primordial spirit fruit. If they wished for the primordial spirit fruit, they had to view with those ghosts!

The inn guests went out one by one, some in groups and some alone. Gradually, even people on the second floor also went out. Only the old man was shuttling the inn back and forth to pack things.

When he came to the second floor, he found Feng Xiao sleeping soundly in the corner. The old man smiled and sat down to one side.

At midnight, the moon was covered by a dark cloud. At this time, the inn's door was swept open by a strong wind. The cold night wind came in accompanied by loud mournful cries. Faint white shadows also came floating in.

Tables on the first floor were destroyed and pushed aside. Countless white shadows drifted in from outside. After being jolted fiercely, several loose cultivators on the first floor who were sprawled drunk on the floor immediately stood up.

"Hahahaha..."

Those loose cultivators let out a burst of hearty laughter. The stream of air shook faintly from their mighty pressure. The expressions on their faces were malicious. With an abrupt swept of their gaze, their sights were directed at those remaining on the second floor.

"It's bad! They're being possessed by the ghosts!"

The complexions of several of the loose cultivators on the second floor changed. Watching the possessed loose cultivators broke the boundary and tried to come up, they couldn't help looking at the old man sitting by. "Can this boundary stop them?"

The old man stroked his beard and glanced downward. "This boundary is to block ghosts, not people. Unless something unexpected happens, the boundary will not be able to withstand the destructive attacks of those people."

"What? You damn old man! If it can't withstand those attacks, how shameless you are to charge us one hundred gold coins!" A few of them shouted loudly, flustered and agitated. They carried swords in their hands, ready to fight.

However, as soon as they finished yelling, the boundary on the second floor was split open with a bang. As the possessed loose cultivators were still rushing forward, countless ghosts swept ahead of them with an intent to entrap those men...

Chapter 1627: Might be an opportunity

Feng Xiao who was at the corner was also being stared at by the ghosts. However, his Yang energy was too strong so that only a few of the ghosts with dense Yin energy swept forward but didn't dare to get close.

Fire Phoenix, perching on Feng Xiao's shoulder, released its mighty pressure. With these two factors combined, Fire Phoenix's powerful ancient breath as well as Feng Xiao's Yang energy, was a huge deterrence and those ghosts didn't have the courage to step forward.

There was yet another reason. As the current ruler of the Phoenix Empire, he had an imposing air all over his body. Except for a few extremely fierce ghosts, ordinary little demons had no courage to offend him at all.

Seeing the ghosts surrounded that sleeping man, afraid to step forward, several loose cultivators on the second floor stared in amazement. "Who is that person? Those ghosts fear him."

Surprise flashed in that old man's eyes as if not expecting to see such a scene. At first, the old man thought Feng Xiao's strength was average. Now, it seemed that he underestimated him.

As those ghosts had no way to seize Feng Xiao, the loose cultivators possessed by the ghosts lifted their swords and chopped at him.

Seeing this, Fire Phoenix woke Feng Xiao up. Just right after it spoke out, Feng Xiao opened his eyes, pulled the sword at his waist and blocked the loose cultivators' attack.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

He stood up suddenly. An imposing aura coming from a Martial Sacred's breath and mighty pressure emanated from him. It was strong and powerful, accompanied by the grandeur of a king who had been in power for a long period of time. He stared at them with the look of a predator, making people scared.

Before becoming the Phoenix Empire's country ruler, he was the protector of the country, a general. His fighting power was amazing and his imposing aura was even more impressive. Now that his battle intent was kindled, the breath in the second floor's air fluctuated.

When the other people saw this, their eyes contracted. Wasn't this man a mystical energy cultivator? How could he possess such vigour?

The old man stepped back and watched silently. Looking at the current situation, it was unexpected that there was only one among all the inn's guests.

"Ahhhhh..."

The sharp sword chopped at people without mercy. A fierce and frightening vigour was pervasive in the air. The clang of swords, as well as the ghosts' miserable howls, were piercing people's ears...

A sudden gale blew and made the inn shattered to pieces. The fierce gale and the airflow brought the roof down. Several pillars supporting the inn were cut off by the swords during the battle. With a loud rumble, the whole inn instantly collapsed and turned into rubble.

At the same moment, several figures flew out of the ruins. As they came out of the collapsed inn, they stood in midair.

When Feng Xiao, who was standing in midair, saw the scene outside the inn, his expression turned grave. As far as his eyes could see, there were only ghosts. The whole mountain was filled with an eerie atmosphere. The ghosts' constant howls were very terrifying.

"It's really the land of ghosts..." He whispered with a frown. He had no intention of getting involved in these things, but the current situation seemed to be beyond his control.

"Now that we're here, let's have a shot at it! Isn't that primordial spirit fruit a good thing? Let's go and pick one, too. Join in the fun!" Fire Phoenix stared ahead with interest. Since they couldn't avoid it, they might as well go with the flow and grab the fruit.

"Well, since we can't evade it, let's grab one, then!" He was just passing by, but he was directed to this place. Now, this danger presented an opportunity.

Chapter 1628: Fire Phoenix snatches for the fruit

Feng Xiao glanced at those people and saw that the old man was protected by a stream of air similar to a protective barrier that prevented the ghosts from getting close. Whereas the other people were in a crisis, attacking the ghosts that were rushing towards them.

Seeing this, Feng Xiao tossed a flying artifact and flew that way with a sword in his hand. With spirit energy injected into the sword, he slashed at the enemies all the way until he reached over 100 meters high in midair.

After seeing the scene at the valley, he was about to go down. Suddenly, Fire Phoenix spoke out.

"Wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Feng Xiao inquired.

"There is a poisonous fog below. The sacred spirit fruit should be the luminous object in the middle of the poisonous fog. If we go down, it will be difficult for us to escape. Listen to me, we'll do this..."

Fire Phoenix made a suggestion and told him his plan.

Feng Xiao paused for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, I can deal with these small issues." Fire Phoenix raised its chin and answered him confidently.

"Alright, then." With this reply, Feng Xiao turned around and headed for the road he wanted to pass. When no one noticed, Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew to the bottom of the valley.

Seeing Feng Xiao going in the other direction, everyone except the old man thought that he was afraid to descend. They sneered at him. "I thought he's a real man with some skills. It seems that he's nothing special."

The old man didn't say anything. He watched Feng Xiao rush out of the ghost array and enter the enchantment mountain. The enchantment mountain in the ghost mountain was covered with enchantment arrays. It was not the place ordinary cultivators could walk away from, especially at night when all kinds of transformations happened inside the formation.

The old man wanted to chase after him to have a look, but he was entangled by the sudden outpouring of ghosts, so he could only step back. About the time it took an incense stick to burn, a fierce roar of a phoenix in the valley. Flame soared to the sky and flew up to the top of the mountain. The raging fire lit up the whole night sky and the flames dispelled the cold air. The frightened people below screamed aloud.

"Hiss! It's, it's the ancient sacred beast, Fire Phoenix!"

"Goodness! How can the ancient sacred beast Fire Phoenix appear in this place?"

"Hiss! This Fire Phoenix came to snatch the sacred spirit fruit?"

"How did the ancient Fire Phoenix come out of nowhere? Who is its master?"

"Damn it! What does it want from the sacred spirit fruit? The fruit is of no use to it!"

For a moment, the surprised cries and indignant screams were mixed together. The loose cultivators were incredulous. Although the fruit was a sacred rank spirit fruit and eating one could greatly increase one's strength, its existence was not in defiance of Nature. Unexpectedly, such a sacred spirit fruit actually attracted an ancient sacred beast to compete for it. Moreover, it directly closed off the surroundings with fire and took the fruit.

Watching Fire Phoenix soaring into the sky as it majestically flapped its wings into midair with a whoosh and disappearing into the night, everyone was dumbfounded.

They had been busy keeping watch for this sacred spirit fruit for more than half of a month, but in the end, a bird had snatched it up right before them.

Alright! Even though this bird was an ancient sacred bird, why did an ancient sacred beast come out to rob them? Who on earth ordered it to do this? It's simply so hateful!

Only the old man looked despondently at the Fire Phoenix which had disappeared into the dark night. He murmured, "It turns out to be the ancient sacred beast Fire Phoenix. I was truly mistaken... "

Chapter 1629: Advancing to the Martial Divine stage

Ten days later, deep in the mountain, three peals of thunder fell one after another before calm was restored. That day, the tribulation lightning came suddenly and vanished quickly. Since it was deep in the mountain, it didn't disturb anyone.

There, Feng Xiao sat cross-legged, breathed out and slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, a strange light emerged from his pair of bloodthirsty eyes. He advanced from the Martial Sacred stage to Martial Divine stage. After taking the primordial spirit fruit, it took him ten days to advance. Finally, he succeeded to step into the Martial Divine stage and became a strong exponent at the Martial Divine stage!

The leap in strength had restored his appearance to its peak and now it seemed as if the years had not left any trace on his face. Now, even if Feng Jiu stood opposite him, she might not recognize him.

When one entered the Martial Divine rank, his strength was comparable to the Celestial Strong Exponent. Not to mention the aura all over his body was very different, with just one look, a mighty pressure was released. His power was absolutely intimidating, especially since very few mystical energy cultivators could cultivate to the Martial Divine rank.

"You're really like a different person now." Fire Phoenix looked down from atop the branch and was very surprised. Its strength had become more powerful as it matured. However, when the human race became stronger, their appearance turned younger and younger.

"Fire Phoenix, thanks so much for these few days." He thanked the ancient beast with a low and dignified voice.

"It's not at all troublesome." Fire Phoenix waved its wing. "Little Jiu will be ecstatic that you have advanced. However, you turned much younger now. Little Jiu surely won't recognize that you're her father when she sees you. Looking like this, you almost catch up with that boy Guan Xilin."

Hearing this, Feng Xiao could not help laughing out loud. "That's too exaggerated." Having said that, he was in high spirits. He was very happy about his success in becoming a Martial Divine.

Every time one advanced to the next level, he got even stronger. It was a good thing, whether for him or his family or the empire. Only when his power was at an inviolable strength could the people he wanted to protect be well protected.

"We must hurry to leave, we've delayed the journey for so long, I do not know where Little Jiu and others are now. We have to find Hell's Palace people to ask for information."

"Then let's go!" Fire Phoenix flew and perched on his shoulder. After Feng Xiao took out the flight artefact and threw it into the air, one person and one bird left the mountain forest where he had stayed for ten days

A distance away from there, Feng Jiu and others didn't leave.

They were supposed to leave for the Phoenix Empire, but after receiving the news that there was an ancient sacred beast Fire Phoenix in the border town, they gave up their plan to go back while waiting and asking for the news.

The ancient sacred beast Fire Phoenix appeared? There was only one ancient sacred beast Fire Phoenix in the world, and that one was her contracted beast. Since it appeared here recently, Fire Phoenix must have come over from the Phoenix Empire.

And no one but her father was likely to come with him. She didn't expect that her father would drop everything he was doing and bring Fire Phoenix with him. She believed he was worried about them or he was anxious to see her mother.

"Little Jiu."

Shangguan Wanrong came out of the courtyard and came to Feng Jiu. "I am a little worried about your father. He came alone. Did he encounter any danger in his journey? There has been no news since the message came a few days ago. I am afraid that he..."

Chapter 1630: The Wanyan Clan

"Don't worry. There's Fire Phoenix keeping him company. There won't be any mishaps." Feng Jiu smiled lightly, holding her mother's hand and pulled her to sit down beside the table. "Mo Ze has sent someone to search. We should have father's news soon."

"Besides, we'll wait for him here, so we won't miss him. As soon as we get the news of his whereabouts, we can go over."

"I hope there's no problem!"

Shangguan Wanrong sighed, but she was still a little worried. Because she learned from her daughter that Feng Xiao's actual power was not very strong, if he went to a place like the Eight Supreme Empires with such a strength, she's afraid that...

"Ghost Doctor." Gray Wolf came in with a smile on his face. "Master asked me to come and tell you some good news."

"Do you have news about my father?" Feng Jiu asked him.

"None."

Gray Wolf shook his head. "It's strange. Up to now, I haven't found your father's track yet. I guess he might stray from the route. It may take another two days before I hear from him. The good news I come to tell you is that the person you're looking for, Wanyan Qianhua, has news."

"Oh?" She looked delighted. "Where is she?"

"The Wanyan family is a hidden clan. The news and things about the Wanyan family are rarely spread outside. Our people only find out that the Wanyan family is a hidden clan and their family may be related to some forces in other places, but nothing else is known."

Feng Jiu nodded. "Since it's a hidden clan, it's not easy for people outside to find out their news. Well, that's it! I'll meet her later if I have a chance."

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of this period of time in the Eight Supreme Empires to have people look for Wanyan Qianhua, her sworn sister, but she didn't expect that Wanyan Qianhua's family was a hidden clan. In this case, she wouldn't make a detailed investigation. She believed that if they were fated, she would be able to see her sworn sister sooner or later. "

"By the way, where's your master? Why haven't I seen them?" Feng Jiu asked, recalling that she had never seen Xuanyuan Mo Ze's figure these days. Where was he?

"Master has been cultivating as soon as he has time. He just advanced two days ago. Now he is studying a new set of sword techniques in the martial training ground. Would you like to go and have a look at it?" Gray Wolf couldn't help suggesting.

Recently, because Ghost Doctor had been with her mother all the time, his master was just like an abandoned woman in her boudoir. She was either cultivating or practising his swordplay. If it were someone else, he could directly drive the person away, but this person was Ghost Doctor's mother. No matter how dissatisfied the master was, he couldn't open his mouth to chase the person away. Xuanyuan Mo Ze could only hold back his dissatisfaction in his heart or vent his anger on them.

Hearing this, Feng Jiu's eyes flashed. She told her mother, "Mother, I'm going to see Mo Ze. If you feel bored, I'll call Leng Shuang to accompany you."

"It's alright, go! You don't have to stay here with me all day. If you have time, spend more time with Mo Ze! You're going to get married. You used to spend your time apart from each other. Now it's the right time to cultivate your relationship." She patted Feng Jiu's hand and motioned her to go.

"Well, then I'm going." Feng Jiu stood up, followed Gray Wolf to go out, and asked, "Gray Wolf, how is your master's mood today?"

Behind him, Shangguan Wanrong smiled as she listened to his daughter's voice. She felt very content...

Soon, her daughter would get married!

Chapter 1631: How do you know?

"Master often pulls a long face. It's not very noticeable, but if you go, you'll know it." Gray Wolf grinned, muttering to himself that even though it's a fact that his master had been neglected and was in a bad mood, he could not reveal his master's secret!

Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and left with a smile on her lips. Reaching the martial training ground, she saw the black-robed Xuanyuan Mo Ze practising with his sword.

Her eyes stirred. The next moment, she leapt with a light tap on her toes, searched inside the space for the Qingfeng Sword, then thrust the sword towards him.

As soon as Xuanyuan Mo Ze spotted her arrival from the corner of his eyes, he brandished his sword to block her. A whizzing sound of the airflow was heard and the fierce sword intent pressed on towards Feng Jiu.

"Clang!"

Two swords collided. Sharp clang of metals rang out and sparks flew. The two streams of air met and instantly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the sword in Xuanyuan Mo Ze's hand, Feng Jiu's eyes lit up. That was the Xuanyuan Sword!

This was his sword as well as an ancient divine sword, not inferior to her Qingfeng sword!

For a split second, an idea flashed in her mind to compare notes with him. She wanted to see what would happen if the two swords collided. So, she turned the hand holding the sword and leaned forward again.

When Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw this, something stirred in the depth of his dark eyes and he immediately retreated. With a swing of the edge of his sword, the sword's form suddenly changed. His sword coiled around her Qingfeng sword and dragged her while she was still waving the sword.

Feng Jiu was surprised. Instead of attacking, she followed his sword's movement. She imitated and learned a whole set of swordsmanship. She was surprised to find that this swordplay could be used by a single person or a pair. The single swordplay was fierce and forceful, revealing a cold glint at the sword's tip. The pair swordplay was even more powerful, helping a mightier battle strength to burst out.

Gray Wolf and Shadow One stood outside the martial training ground and watched. In the arena stood a pair in black and red. The man was domineering and the woman was superbly beautiful. The steady black robe and dazzling red dress blended together and kept transforming. Its visual impact made those who were watching unable to move their eyes away.

"Master and Ghost Doctor really match each other. Say, how is it possible that such a person like Ghost Doctor exists in this world? Before meeting her, Master didn't even have a woman around him. I was really worried that he would be a broken sleeve, but fortunately, there is a woman like Ghost Doctor."

Gray Wolf grinned, both deeply moved and relieved. Although they were master and subordinates, their relationships were different from others. Gray Wolf was really happy to see his master meet a person he was fond of.

Shadow One at his side shot a glance at him. "Are you feeling rueful that you haven't met the right woman? I remember that you've been single for more than 20 years. Why don't you get worried that you'll be a cut sleeve?"

When he heard this, mischief flashed in Gray Wolf's eyes. He glanced at Shadow One with a smile which was both bashful and naughty. He wrapped his hand around Shadow One's arm and asked with a smile, "Shadow One, how do you know? You feel it, too, don't you?"

While talking, Gray Wolf's hand was continuously rubbing on Shadow One's arm. Shadow One jumped up, slapped his hand away quickly, and watched him warily.

"Just talk! What's your intent, groping at people?"

Gray Wolf grinned and stared at him with bright eyes.: "Shadow One, we grew up together. We can be considered as childhood sweethearts..."

Chapter 1632: The Dragon and Phoenix Nine Sword stance

"Stop!"

Shadow One interrupted him hurriedly and stared at him with irony. "Who is your childhood sweetheart? That's your delusion."

"Wasn't that so? We grew up together, took part in training together, ate and slept together, took a bath together, and wore the same pair of trousers. I've seen you naked. We have such a close relationship. Is that not childhood sweethearts?"

When he heard this, Shadow One's face darkened and the hairs on his body stood on end. He felt it so bizarre, especially after noticing Gray Wolf's illicit glances.

Why hadn't he noticed Gray Wolf's interest before?

Shadow One couldn't help shiver at this thought. He stared at Gray Wolf warily and hurried away to the other side to wait.

As he fled, Gray Wolf showed a triumphant smile. "Your face got numb after a fight with me? Aren't you looking for abuse?"

With a snort, Gray Wolf looked back to the martial training ground where the two were still practising their swords.

After about an hour or so, they stopped. Feng Jiu was sweating at this time but her eyes were shining. She asked Xuanyuan Mo Ze excitedly, "Did you really create this sword technique?"

"Do you like it?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze's lips curved up slightly. He reached out a hand to tuck Feng Jiu's stray hair behind her ear with an intimate and natural motion.

"I like it, very much. This set of swordsmanship is very powerful. If two people join hands, they will complement each other and their combat strength will be extraordinary. Moreover, these sword moves are not easy to break. By the way, what do you call this sword technique?"

Seeing her excitement and admiring gazes at him, Xuanyuan Mo Ze's heart softened. He felt a sense of achievement. His male ego was completely satisfied, accompanied by a faint trace of pride.

"This set of swordsmanship is called Dragon and Phoenix Nine Sword stance. If using it alone, I use the Dragon Nine Sword stance and you use the Phoenix Shadow Nine Sword stance. This set of swordsmanship can be combined together and has boundless variations. If combined into one, its power will be greatly increased."

When he arrived at this point, he paused a bit. There was tenderness and affection deep in his eyes. He continued slowly. "Moreover, I originally created this set of swordsmanship for us. You must remember the mental cultivation method I passed to you before. Remember that it can be used mutually with this swordsmanship and it can be passed on to our children in the future."

In fact, what he wanted was to live with his beloved and build a warm and happy home.

Looking down, he felt that he was not far from his goal.

Feng Jiu chuckled when she heard this. "We don't have a wedding yet and now you're talking about children? You're getting too anxious."

"Ghost Doctor, Master is not anxious, I am. I also want to have a little master!" Gray Wolf grinned and raised his voice. When the couple looked at him, he laughed mischievously. "Moreover, if the little master is born soon, I can help raise him!"

When Feng Jiu imagined Gray Wolf carrying a suckling baby, she couldn't help laughing.

Shadow One appeared out of thin air and told them with a lukewarm tone. "If there really is a little master, I won't rest assured to have you taking care of him!"

"What are you worried about? Ghost Doctor didn't say anything." Gray Wolf stared at him resentfully, thinking that this man was a drag on him. Just imagine, if there is a little master, how much lovelier would the scene be?

Chapter 1633: This bath barrel is so big

"Alright, we digressed. There's nothing to talk about things you haven't even seen." Feng Jiu smiled and raised her hand, motioned to the two people to stop bickering. She then turned to Xuanyuan Mo Ze. "Do you want to go back and take a bath?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze moved his gaze and a dim light flashed in the depth of his eyes. He stared at her and answered, "Yes."

"Alright! Then, let's go! " She put the Qingfeng sword away, oblivious to the profound look in his eyes. She reached out to hold his hand and left with him.

Watching the two leave, Gray Wolf put his hand around Shadow One's shoulder and said mysteriously, "Hey, did you see Master's meaningful gaze?"

He glanced at Gray Wolf and shook his hand off. "Go away!" Shadow One then strode off to follow the couple at a medium distance.

Back in the courtyard, Feng Jiu asked for hot water for bathing. When she entered the room, she found that Xuanyuan Mo Ze also followed her. She was stunned. "Why aren't you going for a bath?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze gazed at her. "I will!" He went inside and looked around. He came to the steaming bath barrel. "This place is just right to take a bath. The barrel is big enough."

Feng Jiu's lips twitched. "Are you serious?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze's eyes flickered. He walked up towards Feng Jiu who stood at the door, embracing her while at the same time waving his hand to close the door and lock it.

Feng Jiu only felt her body being lifted into an embrace and brought inside. She was stunned and for a moment had no idea how to react. Xuanyuan Mo Ze was an outwardly cold but passionate inside type of man. It could be seen from the fact that even though he always looked serious and majestic, he wore red underpants underneath his clothes.

In the past, although his mind was restless, he would restrain himself. Especially, he didn't do anything excessive when her mother was here. How come today...

"Extend your hands."

A low and magnetic voice came into her ears. The unique warm breath of a man sprayed behind her ears, causing goosebumps all over her body.

Only then did she realize that he carried her to the side of the barrel, while he was standing right behind her.

It was unknown what she thought. Unexpectedly, Feng Jiu obeyed his words and extended her hands, letting him untie her clothes and take off her coat.

When the red outer robe was untied, he raised his hand and tossed the red robe to the screen. His hand felt her waist and moved upwards. When he touched her flat chest, he embraced her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Are you still wrapping your chest?"

"Of course!"

She replied, "Isn't it strange if I wear men's clothes without wrapping my breasts?"

"Wrapping your chest often will impede their development. After we get married, you should stop wrapping your chest." He said in a low voice with a trace of hoarseness. He reached her inner garment, untied it, and then turned her to face him.

Standing in front of him, her snow-white shoulders, as well as her beautiful and lovely collar bones, were revealed. His eyes turned darker and his gaze moved down towards the white cloth wrapping around her chest.

He remembered that she had a buxom chest, but that plumpness was squeezed under this white cloth. His heart burst into flames with distress.

His hand caressed her shoulders and rubbed her clavicles. When his hand reached her chest, he paused, feeling an impulse to tear this piece of cloth into shreds. And he acted following this thought...

Chapter 1634: Still not up yet

With a faint ripping sound, the cloth was torn into shreds and scattered on the ground. The sight came into Xuanyuan Mo Ze's full view.

His breath turned ragged, a dim light floated at the depth of his eyes, and he couldn't help gulping. His scorching gaze fell on her chest without being able to move away for a long time.

"So beautiful..."

His voice was raspy as if his breathing was suddenly clogged. His whole mind and being were in a state of agitation. He had a ferocious impulse to have her.

However, he once told her that he would keep their most beautiful night for the wedding night, so...

Her enchanting face was looming before his eyes: her sloping eyebrows, the slightly slanting corners of her eyes, her curved lips. She exuded an alluring charm that attracted people to sin.

With a lift of his hand, he took off his clothes almost in the blink of an eye, took her into his embrace and carried her into the bath barrel. As soon as they entered the barrel, the water splashed out and overflowed to the ground. The sound of plopping water, flower petals drifting, and faint scent of flowers permeating the air intermingled with their passionate emotion.

In the evening.

The idle Shangguan Wanrong personally prepared the meal and cooked a few dishes. Since Chen Dao and Lu Heng had already gone back, there were not many people in residence. Thus, she only cooked a few dishes.

After all the meals were set on the table, Shangguan Wanrong looked around and asked, "Leng Shuang, where's Little Jiu? Why have I not seen her yet? "

Leng Shuang pondered a bit. After some thought, she answered, "Mistress must have been in her courtyard."

"Then, please call Little Jiu and Mo Ze to come for the meal!" Shangguan Wanrong smiled. She sat down and rested, poured a cup of tea and took a sip while waiting for them to come over.

"Yes." Leng Shuang went out.

On the other side, Shadow One and Gray Wolf who were guarding outside Feng Jiu's courtyard kept silent but their eyes were brighter than usual. Shadow One cast his gaze towards the main courtyard occasionally, as if waiting for their Master and Mistress to come out.

However, Gray Wolf was staring fixedly at the main courtyard, itching with curiosity. Did his master finally 'eat' Ghost Doctor? He didn't hear anything for most of the afternoon. Did they take a noon nap and did nothing at all?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Shadow One, do you think they've done the deed?" After his question got unanswered for quite a while, Gray Wolf turned his head and nudged him with his elbow. "I asked you a question!"

"I don't know."

Shadow One answered coldly. He spotted Leng Shuang coming their way from the corner of his eyes, so he motioned him to take a look.

Seeing Leng Shuang, Gray Wolf grinned. He quickly stood in front of her. "Leng Shuang, why are you here? Is something the matter?"

Leng Shuang frowned when she saw Gray Wolf blocking her way. She glanced at Shadow One. "What are you two doing here? Is Hell's Lord here, too? That's just right. Madam has prepared dinner and asked me to invite them over to dinner. "

She was about to walk over, but her path was blocked again.

"Wait, wait." Gray Wolf looked at her sheepishly. "They haven't come out yet! Don't go there and ruin it for them."

"Ruin what?" Leng Shuang was stunned. She glanced into the courtyard and didn't find the couple. So, were they inside the room?

"They are still not up yet!" As Gray Wolf was saying this, he heard the door open.

Chapter 1635: Refreshed

The black-robed and refreshed Xuanyuan Mo Ze placed one hand behind his back and the other hand on his front abdomen. He walked out with steady steps. When he saw the three people standing at the gate outside the courtyard, he asked, "Is something the matter?"

His voice was languid and magnetic as if he had just awakened from sleep. He was also like a young man who just tasted the sweetness. There was unconcealed satisfaction between his eyebrows.

The three of them had different reactions when they saw his looks. Leng Shuang, especially, was a little unclear. It's not that she didn't have any doubts, but that she put her suspicions deep in her heart. She reported, "Madam has already prepared dinner and invited Hell's Lord and Mistress to come and have a meal."

"Little Jiu hasn't woken up yet. Let her sleep more." As soon as he stopped speaking, Feng Jiu's voice came from behind.

"I'm up. Let's go there together!" Feng Jiu came out of the room lazily, rubbing her sore hands and glaring angrily at the man smiling at her.

She mistakenly thought this guy would be tempted to take up the gun for battle! Unexpectedly, it was her five fingers that worked tirelessly in the end. Rubbing her sore hand, what feeling she had in her heart was unknown.

If it were another man, he would have done the deed already. But Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who always did what his mind conceived, did not cross the last line of defense. She knew that he cherished her, but she could not bear looking at him enduring it like that. Otherwise, she would not have made her five fingers sore to the point of numbness today.

"Not tired? Shall I ask them to bring the meal?" He came forward to embrace her. Seeing her red dress, her dark tresses falling luxuriantly on her back, with indolence and charm between her eyebrows. He couldn't help but want to hide her, not letting others see.

"So, you also know what tired is? My hands are sore." She leaned into his arms, murmuring her complaints.

Hearing this, a deep smile flashed in Xuanyuan Mo Ze's eyes across. With a low voice, he whispered in her ear, "That's the proof that your man is so virile. You have nothing to worry for conjugal happiness in the future."

Feng Jiu recalled their previous scene and blushed prettily. She rolled her eyes and pushed him away. "Leng Shuang, let's go!" With this, she took the lead and left with Leng Shuang.

Watching her walk away, Xuanyuan Mo Ze let out a laugh with his deep magnetic voice. His laugh was accompanied with a tender gaze at the figure in red. After a pause, he followed her with his hands clasped behind his back.

The couple were talking with a low voice, so Gray Wolf and Shadow One could only hear one or two words vaguely. However, seeing their master's satisfied look, they could not help guessing. Did their master really 'eat' Ghost Doctor?

They went for dinner. During the meal, Shangguan Wanrong saw her hands trembling slightly and asked with concern. Consequently, Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze felt uncomfortable.

In the end, they just made up a random excuse. As soon as the meal was over, the two left in a hurry, ready to go out for a stroll.

Shangguan Wanrong was naturally full of joy. Seeing the deep affections between the couple, as a mother she was very gratified.

Leaving the courtyard's gate and walking down the street, Feng Jiu exhaled gently. She spoke in a bad mood, "After meeting with my father, let's do the wedding quickly! A few more times like this, even if I can bear it, my hands can't stand it. "

Chapter 1636: This hand is an eyesore

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze laughed softly. "Alright."

As the night deepened, lanterns on the main street were lit. It was very lively with a continuous flow of people. When they entered the street and mingled with the crowd, those in the surroundings no matter whether they were men or women, their eyes fell on them involuntarily.

The reason was none other than the pair of a domineering man and a woman of exquisite beauty. Their black robe and red dress walking together on the street looked very well-matched. They were like celestial beings coming down from Heaven and not of this world.

Because the eyes of those around them had been following them closely, the couple did not stroll for long. They just strolled around the city, then they went to Hell's Palace base.

After a few days and still hadn't received Feng Xiao's news, Feng Jiu felt that something was odd.

How could there be no news? Did they perhaps not enter the city? It didn't make sense!

One day in the afternoon, while sitting on the roof and taking a rest, she saw a person in a black robe coming out of the street and stopping in front of their courtyard.

When she saw the man, she narrowed her eyes. She saw that he looked like he was in his twenties to thirties. He was tall and strong, looking a bit travel-worn. There was a colourful bird perched on his shoulder. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt, especially the small bird...

"Fire Phoenix?"

She whispered with surprise, quickly stood on her tiptoe and crossed the wall to the outside of the courtyard. She landed in front of the man and stared at his smiling countenance. Seeing the familiar appearance, she opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

"Father?"

"Little Jiu, I didn't expect you to recognize your father at once. Hahaha, you're really worthy to be my daughter." Feng Xiao laughed loudly. His deep laughter rang out.

"He kept talking throughout the journey that you won't recognize him!" Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew to Feng Jiu's shoulder, rubbing against her face intimately.

Feng Jiu stroked Fire Phoenix's furs with her fingers gently. She told it with a smile, "Thank you, Fire Phoenix, for protecting my father in the journey that he's arrived safely here."

"You're welcome. That's what I should do." Fire Phoenix perched on her shoulder with its head raised and asked. "I didn't listen to your order to stay in the Phoenix Empire as its guardian beast. Will you blame me?"

"How's that possible? You're already here. There's still Grandfather and others on that side. There should be no problem." She chuckled and then looked at her father. "Father, when did you advance and become a Martial Divine cultivator? It's no wonder that Hell's Palace's people couldn't find your news."

"Hahaha, indeed. As my strength has entered the Martial Divine realm, my appearance has also changed. Naturally, they can't recognize me." With a smile, he told her what happened on the way and asked, "By the way, how is your mother now? Is she all right?"

"Father, please rest assured. Mother is alright. We originally planned to return, but since we heard the news that you came here, we're waiting for you here. With no news from you these days, Mother is worried all the time! Wait until she sees you later, I bet she will be ecstatic."

Feng Jiu and Feng Xiao were chatting as they headed towards the courtyard. Xuanyuan Mo Ze just came out. When he saw Feng Jiu came in while leaning close to a man, he frowned and stared at the man's hand around her shoulder.

He felt this hand was an eyesore and had an impulse to chop it.

Chapter 1637: Feng Xiao and Wanrong meets

However, just when he wanted to go forward and try the man's skill, he heard Feng Jiu's voice at the next moment.

"Ze, my father has arrived. Look, don't you think he's like a different person? No wonder we haven't heard from him."

When he heard Feng Jiu's words wreathed with smiles, Xuanyuan Mo Ze's face froze at once. For a moment, his face looked a little strange, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal. He always had a cold face, anyway. Without paying close attention, no one would see the difference.

"Congratulations to Uncle Xiao for reaching the Martial Divine realm." He stepped forward and offered his felicitation. His voice was as steady as usual. Nobody could hear the previous abnormality.

"Haha, long time no see. How are you recently?" Feng Xiao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you very much. I know you've helped a lot."

"That's what I should do." He smiled and told Feng Jiu, "Since Uncle Xiao is here, let's take him to see Aunt Rong first."

"Right, Father, Mother has waited for you for so long. If she knows you are here, she will be very happy. Let's go. I'll take you to see her first." Feng Jiu held his hand and brought him inside.

Hearing this, Feng Xiao's heart was stirred with both anticipation and tension. For a moment, his heart was beating uneasily. He was about to see Wanrong. He had forgotten her for more than ten years and let her bear everything alone. Every time he thought about this, he felt guilty.

Would she blame him? She certainly blamed him, right?

He had no idea how he followed his daughter inside, but all he knew was that along the way, someone came out to say hello to him. His head was in a muddle and all he knew was that he was nervous.

After turning a few paths and coming to a courtyard, Feng Jiu stopped and didn't follow him inside. She told Feng Xiao, "Father, my mother is in there. Please go in!"

With this, she withdrew from there and went together with Xuanyuan Mo Ze towards the front courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Leng Shuang saw that someone was coming and retreated silently. Although she didn't recognize the person, seeing her Mistress didn't come in but retreat, she was tactful and didn't ask any questions. She then left the place quietly.

Feng Xiao stepped in. He took a light step, as if afraid of scaring her. As he walked, he looked at the elegant figure who was pruning flowers and plants in the yard.

Her exquisite and graceful posture, such as silky ink hair, simple yet elegant dress, gentle and soft aura, all of them were familiar to him and all of them made his heart throbbing. It was as if in that very moment, he returned to the time when he first met her...

Shangguan Wanrong, who had her back turned, had no idea that the person behind her was Feng Xiao. She thought that Leng Shuang stood behind her, so she said without looking back, "Leng Shuang, bring that kettle and pour some water."

Feng Xiao halted his steps and looked around. His gaze fell on the kettle. He went to take it and handed it to her.

Shangguan Wanrong reached out for the kettle but when her sight caught the hand holding the kettle, she was stunned for a moment. She instinctively looked back and stood stock still in place.

Familiar eyebrows, familiar eyes, familiar face, familiar breath...

"Feng Xiao..."

Her lips trembled, calling out the name that had been hidden in the bottom of her heart. Feng Xiao, the person in her heart and her husband. She had been worried about him for so many years...

Chapter 1638: The husband and wife's reunion

"Wanrong." He put his hand around her and said in a choked voice, "You've suffered."

Shangguan Wanrong shook her head and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad you're here. I never thought I could see you and our daughter ever again."

"Our daughter is amazing. Many things would not have been possible without her. We are reunited today because of her." Feng Xiao said with unconcealed pride, holding her hand to sit down beside the table in the courtyard.

Looking at her husband in front of her, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. After so many years of grievances and forbearance, they were finally reunited.

"I didn't expect that for so many years with your memory sealed, you could raise our daughter by yourself. I thought you must have forgotten me and remarry. Unexpectedly, Little Jiu told me that you have been alone all these years."

"I'm glad I've been alone. Otherwise, how can I stand up to your waiting for so many years." He took her hand. "Wanrong, our family should never be separated again. I'll take you back to our home."

"Mm. We'll never again be apart." She nestled in his arms. After her heart drifting alone for many years, she finally found her harbour.

Feng Jiu accompanied Xuanyuan Mo Ze walking in the front courtyard. While taking a stroll, she recalled the previous scene. With a smile, she asked, "Did you not recognize my father when you saw him earlier?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze was a little discomfited. He looked elsewhere. "I didn't recognize him."

"And then? I saw you were staring at my father and wanted to kill him." She smiled like a fox and fixed her gaze at him with bright eyes. "Are you jealous? Jealous of my father?"

"No."

"Really?" She raised her eyebrows and said playfully, "I have a feeling that's not what you just said!"

Your father has arrived. Why don't we go and see my father before going back to the Phoenix Empire to discuss the marriage?" He changed the subject, feeling that there was nothing to hide under her playful eyes.

Feng Jiu put her joking mood away. "Then, I'll tell them later and see what their plans are."

"Tomorrow, then! We'll ask them tomorrow about their intention." Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, gazing at her. "I have gathered many good things as betrothal gifts for you. Whether it's the day for sending betrothal gifts or sending the wedding palanquin to escort the bride, I will make everything magnificent so that all parties know that you, Feng Jiu, married me."

"In fact, it doesn't have to be like that. After all, getting married is only a matter for us and it's none of other people's business. Just follow the normal way." She knew that he had her in his heart and that he loved her deeply. That was enough for her.

As for the rest, which was letting the people outside know, it didn't matter to her.

On the other hand, Guan Xilin, who heard that Feng Xiao had already arrived, rushed back from the pharmacy. As soon as he entered the hospital, he met Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze standing under the tree in the front courtyard. Seeing this, he didn't disturb them. Instead, he went to another road and planned to ask Leng Hua first.

However, not long after walking back from the other road, he met Leng Shuang and Leng Hua.

"Leng Hua, I heard that my foster father is here. Is this true?"

The two men who were talking heard his voice and looked at him. Leng Shuang only nodded, while Leng Hua smiled gently and answered him. "Yes, it's true. He is in Madam's courtyard now."

Chapter 1639: Saluting the two

Hearing this, Guan Xilin nodded with a smile, "It's great that he's here. Foster mother and Little Jiu can rest assured." After some thoughts, he said, "Alright, what about this? Let's dine out tonight. I'll go out and reserve a restaurant. We'll have a nice dinner tonight."

"I'll do it!" Leng Hua volunteered. "As you've just returned to rest at home, you can meet Family Head later." Here, he used the term Family Head instead of Country Ruler. After all, this was more appropriate.

"Alright." Guan Xilin replied, letting him leave first while telling Leng Shuang, "Little Jiu is in front. Let's go and tell them!"

So, they walked to where Feng Jiu was.

As it was getting dark, Feng Xiao walked out of the courtyard arm in arm with Shangguan Wanrong and came to the front hall to meet Feng Jiu and others. After meeting and chatting with everyone, they went out to the restaurant in a carriage.

The restaurant that Leng Hua reserved was a business under the auspices of the Hell's Palace. So that no one would disturb them, they took up the whole second floor. Instead of dining in the side room, they sat facing the window where they could enjoy the busy night scene on the street.

As the food and wine were gradually served, they drank wine, ate food and chatted, asking about the situation at home and the Phoenix Empire.

Feng Xiao answered all their questions, telling them that everything was well at home so that they didn't have to worry.

"Uncle Xiao, I'd like to invite you and Aunt Rong to meet my father, the Emperor, in the palace and discuss the wedding. What do you think?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw the atmosphere was good, so he asked this question directly.

He thought that now that Feng Jiu's parents had reunited, it should be time for them to get married. After all, they had known each other for several years already. Although they hadn't been engaged for a long time, they loved each other. Since they took the pledge to be together for a lifetime, getting married early could also allow them to spend more time together.

"This is a must. You've been to our place and met your elders, but we haven't paid respects to your esteemed father. Since we're here, we naturally have to meet your father and discuss your wedding with Little Jiu."

Feng Xiao paused a bit. Looking at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, he asked, "Will your father not object to your marriage with Little Jiu?" After all, Xuanyuan Empire had a remarkable status, far above their small Phoenix Empire. It was understandable if he didn't like them.

"Uncle Xiao can rest assured that my father has already met Feng Jiu and is very satisfied with her. He will not obstruct this marriage." Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at Feng Jiu affectionately while answering him.

Even if his father tried to stop him, he would still marry Feng Jiu. He hoped that they would meet his father, not because of anything else, but because he valued Feng Jiu so much. He hoped that their marriage would be blessed by the elders of both sides and that his family would treat her with courtesy when they got married.

"That's fine, then." Feng Xiao nodded."If you have dealt with the matter here, we can set out to visit your esteemed father in two days."

"Alright. I'll arrange it." Xuanyuan Mo Ze smiled. Then, he saw that his wine cup was filled to the brim by Feng Jiu.

"Well, this matter is not urgent. Today we are celebrating my father and mother's reunion." She took her wine cup with both hands and smiled at her parents with her eyes narrowed. "Parents, I'm saluting the two of you with this cup."

Chapter 1640: All parties paying attention

"Salute to Uncle Xiao and Aunt Rong." Xuanyuan Mo Ze also stood up following Feng Jiu and paid respects to the parents.

"Salute to Foster Father and Foster Mother." Guan Xilin laughed, standing up while holding his wine cup with both hands.

"Salute to Family Head and Madam." Du Fan, Leng Hua and others were also standing up with wine cups in their hands. Even Gray Wolf and Shadow One also raised their cups towards the couple.

"I wish you the same. Thank you, everyone." Feng Xiao said, then his eyes and Shangguan Wanrong's met. The couple raised their wine cups towards the crowd and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Sit down, all of you! Today, you can eat and drink to your heart's content. Make yourself at home." With a smile, he told them all to sit down and eat and drink as much as they wanted.

"Father, Mother, please have a taste. " Feng Jiu put some dishes in a bowl in front of them. "And this, Father, you must not have eaten good food during your journey, right? Here, eat some more."

Looking at a bowl full of meat dishes, Feng Xiao laughed loudly. "Alright, alright. Father will surely eat more, don't worry!" While speaking, he gave Shangguan Wanrong some light dishes. "Come, these are not greasy. Have a taste."

Seeing this, Feng Jiu smiled happily. She saw the joy in her parents' glabellas. The delight and happiness from the depth of their hearts radiated throughout their bodies. They were gazing at each other with unconcealed deep affection.

Although the two of them also went through a lot of hardships, they could finally get together again. So, even if they had suffered a lot before, it was worth it.

"Looks like you have enough to eat?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze's low and magnetic voice sounded in her ears. She returned to her senses and saw that her bowl was already piled up with her favourite dishes. Moreover, the hand holding a pair of chopsticks kept adding her favourite food into the pile. The sight made her smile.

Looking sideways at him, she caught his deep, bottomless gaze. She grasped the food with her chopsticks and told him a smile, "Of course, I can't fill my stomach just by looking at it. But, by eating them, I can."

While talking, she took a piece of food. Aware that the others were looking at them, she smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Don't just take a look, please eat."

As a result, the crowd laughed and chatted while eating. The atmosphere became lively and relaxed.

Some forces in the city also paid attention to the fact that they reserved the whole second floor of the city's famous restaurant. After all, Ghost Doctor's name had gradually spread here. Naturally, all forces in the city had already paid attention to the person named Feng Jiu.

What's more astonishing, they found from an investigation that Feng Jiu, the boy in red who made the Pill Sun Sect in complete shambles was the owner of the city's pharmacy, Ghost Doctor.

Moreover, their people also found a piece of news that Feng Jiu was a woman.

Even though those forces were paying attention to their movements in the city, they still had not found out about the origin of the people around Feng Jiu.

They were not the only one. In fact, those strong forces in the cities of the Eight Supreme Empires had paid attention to this Ghost Doctor. Hearing that Ghost Doctor has a close relationship with the Black Market's people, their people didn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, such an alchemist in pill refining and in pharmacy would definitely be snatched away by others.

At this time, nobody had an idea that after receiving the news from Chen Dao and Luo Heng, Duan Mubai was already on the way and happened to have arrived in the city...

Chapter 1641: Arrival Of Duan Mubai

Duan Mubai couldn't help but sighed as he stood in the street and looked around at the town. How bold was Feng Jiu? He thought that after she had rescued Wanrong, she would have taken her far away, instead, they were hiding in this town not far from Pill Sun Sect. If Chen Dao and the rest hadn't told him, he would never have thought that they would be here.

Due to the heavy losses in Pill Sun Sect recently, the people in the Sect were all in a panic. There were also things in his family that needed to be dealt with, but when he saw that his father's health had recovered and his life was not in danger, he felt relieved.

His brother could take care of the family matters! What will his family have to be confronted with? What was lost, or what potential dangers still existed, were no longer within his control.

After all, he was not the Family Head, if he intervened again, he was afraid his elder brother would be displeased with him. He just wondered where his young niece had ended up now.

When he thought of his young niece who had been forced to run away from home, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. He didn't agree with his elder brother's approach, he just hoped that his young niece wouldn't run into any trouble outside, otherwise, he was afraid...

He looked at the lively pedestrians on the street and searched for the address Chen Dao and the rest had given him. He wanted to see Wanrong before he returned to the Sect.

However, when he had arrived at the outside of the courtyard and knocked on the door, no one came to open the door for a long time. He couldn't help but be startled and pondered silently: Could they have left? When he saw that there was no one here, he went to the pharmacy.

It was said that the owner of the pharmacy was the Ghost Doctor, and the Ghost Doctor was Feng Jiu. In a short period of time, the pharmacy had supplies of a lot of top quality medicines, and the name of the Ghost Doctor had spread with the outflow of medicines. It would be accurate to say that the major forces in the Eight Supreme Empires have noticed the pharmacy.

Naturally, they would have investigated this person called the Ghost Doctor and knew of her close relationship with the Black Market. This was probably the reason why no one dared to rob the pharmacy in broad daylight.

Otherwise, usually if such an alchemy talent appeared and could not be recruited, they would be eliminated by the major forces. If they were unable to own the person, naturally no one else could own the person. Otherwise, this would pose a threat to them.

Fortunately, the Ghost Doctor was smart, other than the huge Black Market, she had nothing to do with any other major families or forces. Anyone could buy medicinal pills or liquid medicines from her, the only requirement was that they had to have the Ghost Doctor's medical card in hand, otherwise, no amount of money would be able to buy what you wanted.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled secretly: She was indeed a strange person to lay down such strange rules.

When he arrived at the pharmacy, Duan Mubai looked at it casually and noticed that it was simply decorated both inside and outside. It was even more shabby than most pharmacys. Such a place was actually the land of the Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.

"Shopkeeper, where is the person in charge?"

He asked a middle-aged man in his forties who was picking medicines in the pharmacy. Other than the shopkeeper, there was only a shop assistant in the pharmacy. There was no sign of Leng Hua or Du Fan that Chen Dao mentioned would usually be there to greet customers.

After hearing Duan Mubai's words, the shopkeeper sized him up discreetly. When he saw that he was dressed in a Pill Sun Sect robe and had an extraordinary bearing and quite a high cultivation level, he smiled and asked: "May I ask this customer why you're looking for our owner?"

Chapter 1642: Meet

Duan Mubai looked at him. He paused for a moment and said: "Old friend."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly and he chuckled: "Our owner has gone out and won't be back tonight. Would you like to come back tomorrow instead?"

Duan Mubai knew that Feng Jiu and the rest hadn't left yet when he heard this. Therefore, he nodded his head: "That's alright, I will come back tomorrow!" As he turned to leave, the shopkeeper said to him.

"Please wait a moment." The shopkeeper followed him out and came to stand in front of Duan Mubai. He asied: "May I ask what Sir's name is? When our Chief returns tomorrow I can report to him."

"My surname is Duan." Saying that, he left.

Early the next morning, Du Fan had planned to go to the Drugstore to take a look. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man dressed in white standing there. When he saw the familiar Pill Sun Sect robes, Du Fan's gaze swept down and his eyes fell on the tablet on his waist.

"You are?"

"Duan Mubai." He said his name and looked at the person in front of him: "I am Shangguan Wanrong's Eldest Senior Brother. Is Feng Jiu inside too?"

When he heard that, Du Fan nodded his head and turned his body sideways to let him inside: "Please come in." He closed the door and said: "Chen Dao and Luo Heng have mentioned you before, so I know who you are. By the way, my name is Du Fan."

"I know." Duan Mubai responded. His eyes fell on the folding fan in his hand.

Du Fan followed his gaze to the folding fan in his hand and he smiled. He led him into the inner hall and said: "My Master is not awake yet. As for Madam, she had a bit too much wine to drink last night so I don't think she will be up early. Tell you what! Why don't you go to the main hall to sit down and I will send someone to inform My Master of your arrival and see if she is awake yet."

"Let her sleep! I can wait here till they both wake up." Saying that, Duan Mubai walked into the hall and sat down: "I came after receiving news from Chen Dao and the others, it's nothing urgent."

Du Fan poured him a cup of tea and said: "You can sit here to wait. Feel free to take a stroll around the mansion. I have to go to the Drugstore to take a look so I will take my leave first."

"Alright." Duan Mubai replied and took a sip of his tea.

After he stepped out, he found Leng Hua and told him to go to the main hall to greet their guest, and then he left.

When he learnt that Madam's Eldest Senior Brother had arrived, Leng Hua went to the kitchen and brought some snacks and a pot of tea to the main hall. However, when he got to the main hall, he found that there was no one there.

"Didn't he say that he was waiting in the main hall?" He was a little surprised. He put down the tray he was carrying and felt the teacup on the table. When he felt that it was still warm, he knew that he couldn't have gone far, so he went out to look for him.

On the other side, after Duan Mubai had walked out of the courtyard, he walked around and ended up at the martial arts training ground. When he heard the faint sounds of someone dueling, he walked towards the sound.

He stopped not far from the martial arts training field and watched the two figures sparring. Though they were only sparring, it was not difficult to see the outstanding skills of the two of them. Because of their rapid speed in sparring, he was unable to see their faces clearly. However, based on the aura and physical strength of the two of them, he could tell that they were extremely good.

Although they were both only Mystical Power Cultivators, not Immortal Cultivators, their combative skills were amazing. In fact, their combative skills were even more superior than his.

Chapter 1643: Her Husband

He watched there quietly, and after the time it took to burn an incense stick, the two men stopped sparring. At this point in time, he was able to look at them clearly. They both wore black coloured robes and their figures were similar, however, one of their robes was darker and it made him appear more calm.

When his gaze fell upon the two of them, he realised that their bone ages were different. One man was in his twenties and the other was probably in his late twenties or early thirties but his bone age was already forty. His breath was also calmer.

"The one in lighter robes is my Master's foster brother, Guan Xilin." Leng Hua told him. Duan Mubai was unaware when he had arrived by his side.

Duan Mubai turned his head slightly and looked at the young man standing beside him. This young man looked around the same age as his disciples, but he had a gentle temperament, unlike ordinary guards and subordinates.

"You must be Leng Hua!" It wasn't a question but was said with certainty. There weren't that many idle men in here, Du Fan had told him that other than himself, there was also Leng Hua and a woman named Leng Shuang.

Leng Hua smiled warmly and replied: "Yes, that's me."

"The people around Feng Jiu are really not any ordinary people." Duan Mubai said appreciatively.

"I am just Feng Jiu's steward, one of the most common and inconspicuous people around." Leng Hua said modestly.

Duan Mubai smiled and asked: "If the person in the lighter coloured robes is Feng Jiu's foster brother, then who is the other man?" His gaze fell on Feng Xiao. He felt the iron in this man's blood and his breath was breathtaking. Moreover, the aura of his breath was fierce and compelling.

Leng Hua followed his gaze and when it fell on Feng Xiao, he smiled and said warmly: "The one in darker coloured clothes is our Family Head, Feng Xiao. He is also my Master's father and Madam's husband."

When he heard this, Duan Mubai's eyes moved slightly and his heart stopped beating for a moment. He was a little startled: "He is Feng Jiu's father? Wanrong's husband?"

At this moment, he felt his heart sink, as if he had lost something, his heart kept on sinking.

So this was the man her heart had pined for, the man she had always cared about, and now she was finally reunited with him....

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but looked at Feng Xiao once again. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Feng Xiao was really outstanding. Whether it was his appearance, or his calm, iron-blooded aura, he was just like a dragon or phoenix amongst ordinary people.

Moreover, they were two polar opposites. At first glance, Feng Xiao gave people the impression that he was a tough and powerful man, a strong exponent. Whereas he was just an alchemist. Even if alchemists were admired and respected, when it came to combative experience and imposing aura, he couldn't compare with him.

As he stared blankly, he saw an elegant figure appear before his eyes. On the trail on the other side of the training field Shangguan Wanrong was walking slowly with a bamboo basket in her hand. When the two men in the training field saw her, they stopped.

Because he was some distance away, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw Feng Xiao walk over quickly and took the basket in Wanrong's hand then put it down. He said something to her and Wanrong took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead....

Chapter 1644: Feeling Down

As he looked at the smile and tenderness on her face, the feeling in his heart was indescribable. Her gentleness and tenderness didn't' belong to him and never would. It was just wishful thinking on his part all this time.

However, being able to see her finally get her happiness, it gave him some comfort.

After gathering his thoughts, he put his feelings for her to the bottom of his heart and started to walk forwards.

Next to him, Leng Hua, who had seen this, smiled and followed him to the martial arts training field. When they got closer, he spoke.

"Family Head, Madam, Duan Mubai is here."

Leng Hua's voice drifted out and startled Shangguan Wanrong who had been speaking to Feng Xiao. She raised her head to look at the person arriving and it was indeed her Eldest Senior Brother. She took Feng Xiao's hand and walked forward: "Eldest Senior Brother, why are you here?"

When Feng Xiao heard Shangguan Wanrong call the man her Eldest Senior Brother, he sized the man up calmly. His daughter had mentioned that many people in Pill Sun Sect had secretly had feelings for her.

"I heard from Chen Dao and the others that you are here, so I came to see how you're doing." Duan Mubai said with a gentle smile. His gaze left Shangguan Wanrong and landed on Feng Xiao who was beside her.

"I didn't expect to meet Feng Family Head here, what a surprise ."

Yes! Before he had arrived here, he didn't know he would meet Wanrong's husband, nor did he expect him to be such an excellent man. However, seeing that he was such an excellent man, he felt better about it.

Feng Xiao laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "I didn't expect to meet the Eldest Senior Brother my wife talks about so much. I didn't notice you earlier, please don't mind Brother Duan if I have lacked in greeting you."

"Of course not." Duan Mubai said. He looked at Shangguan Wanrong: "Actually, I don't have anything important to do here. I just dropped by to visit Junior Sister. How's your health been Junior Sister?"

Shangguan Wanrong smiled gently and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry Eldest Senior Brother, Little Jiu's medical skills are very good. I'm fine now."

"That's good." He nodded. He knew that she was fine as he looked at her.

"Brother Duan, let's go to the front hall and have a chat! It's bad hospitality to ask Brother Duan to stand here with us." Feng Xiao said and gestured.

Upon seeing this, Duan Mubai looked at the two of them and headed to the front hall with them.

Guan Xilin held on to Leng Hua and after the few of them had walked away, he asked: "Has anyone informed Little Jiu that Duan Mubai is here?"

"No, Master is probably not awake yet." Leng Hua replied.

"Tell you what! You go to the front hall to look after our guest and I will go and take a look in the back." Saying that, he signaled to Leng Hua to leave quickly while he left and went to the back courtyard. When he arrived at Feng Jiu's courtyard, he saw Leng Shuang guarding the door and signalled for her to come over to him.

"Young Master, what's the matter?" Leng Shuang asked.

"Is your Master awake yet?"

"Not yet."

"Is Xuanyuan Mo Ze inside?" He asked again.

When she heard this, Leng Shuang was taken aback and said: "No, Hell's Lord is asleep in his own room."

Because Family Head and Madam were here, and they would sometimes come over here to look for Master, so even if Hell's Lord had wanted to sleep with Master, he knew that he couldn't do this under the watchful eyes of the two elders and he had to go by the rules and sleep in his own room.

Chapter 1645: Prepare To Leave

"Duan Mubai is here, I want to see if Little Jiu wants to go and see him. Since she's still not awake then that's fine!" Saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave. He was going to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

Duan Mubai? Leng Shuang was slightly surprised. Isn't he the current Pill Sun Sect's Third Sun Peak Master? They heard from Chen Dao and the others that since Master Third Sun had died, Duan Mubai was selected to become the Peak Master of Third Sun Peak.

He was probably here to see Madam!

Leng Shuang didn't wake Feng Jiu up, and she slept till noon. When she opened the door and stretched her body as she walked out, she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Guan Xilin playing chess in the courtyard.

"I'm not playing anymore, I never win when I play chess with you." Guan Xilin sighed. It was his own fault, he knew that he was not his match but yet he still played chess with him. He hadn't won a game since they started playing in the morning.

The corners of Xuanyuan Mo Ze's lips curled and he stretched out his hand to signal Leng Shuang to put the chessboard away. He looked toward Feng Jiu who had just walked out: "You're awake. Are you hungry?"

"I woke up from hunger." Feng Jiu couldn't help but laughed when she said this.

"I guessed that it's about time that Ghost Doctor would be waking up. Look, I've brought food." Gray Wolf was walking in from outside, holding a tray. He placed the contents of the tray on the table.

"While others are having their lunch, the Ghost Doctor is having her breakfast. Master said that by the time Ghost Doctor wakes up the food would be inedible, so he's ordered the cook to make some porridge." He grinned and stepped aside.

"Thank you." She blinked at him and heard Xuanyuan Mo Ze's voice.

"These are things that he should be doing, there's no need to thank him."

Upon hearing this, Gray Wolf nodded in response quickly: "Yes, that's right. These are things that I should do. Ghost Doctor, you are my Mistress and it is our duty to serve our Mistress."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze's expression eased a little bit when he heard him call her Mistress, as if he was satisfied with the form of address. He scooped a bowl of porridge for Feng Jiu and put it in front of her: "Eat while it's hot!"

"Elder Brother, are you not eating?" Feng Jiu was about to eat when she saw Guan Xilin who was sitting next to them smiling.

"I exert more energy, I need to eat rice for my lunch. Porridge doesn't fill my stomach. You eat it! I will eat later." He smiled and continued speaking: "Yes, there is one more thing I need to tell you. Duan Mubai was here, but he left about one hour ago. He was received by Foster Father and Foster Mother."

"Oh? Why did he come here?" She asked while she ate. She was curious.

"What else? Of course he came to see Foster Mother!"

He laughed loudly and said: "However, Foster Father accompanied them the whole time. I asked Leng Hua and he said that they chatted for a while in the front hall. After that, he bid Foster Mother farewell and left to return to Pill Sun Sect."

When she heard that, Feng Jiu smiled. It looked like Duan Mubai had come to see her mother but unexpectedly met her father, so he left after a short stay.

It was a good thing that he met her father, he could finally give up and forget about her mother.

"Take care of everything here today and tomorrow we will leave for Xuan Yuan Empire!" Xuanyuan Mo Ze said as he picked some food for Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu nodded: "There's nothing left to do here. I will tell Leng Hua and Du Fan to settle the matters at the Drugstore later and we can prepare to leave."

Chapter 1646: Real Father

On this side, they were preparing to leave. Far away in the Phoenix Empire, Old Patriarch Feng was playing with his young son in the courtyard!

"Little Ye'er, go and get the ball back."

After Feng Sanyuan threw the ball out of his hand, he asked his son to pick it up. It was like he was playing with a dog. The Feng Guards who were guarding in the secret couldn't help but find it funny.

This is his real father, because only a real father would play with his son like he would with a dog. Especially Litte Ye'er, who didn't realise his father was making fun of him. He grinned and drooled as he crawled to pick the ball up and ran back to his father with it.

"Father, ball."

The little guy smiled, his eyes squinted like a pair of peach blossom eyes. His innocent white and tender face was so cute and delicate. The three year old child still had a little bit of baby fat on him. He was always so happy that everyone who saw him would smile.

"Little Ye'er is such a good boy." Feng Sanyuan laughed. He picked him up and put him on his lap then pinched his cheeks. At the same time, he took a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth: "Here is a piece of fragrant osmanthus cake for you."

However, the little guy didn't eat the osmanthus cake but slid down his father's legs instead and ran over to a little boy of about seven or eight years old who was standing at the side.

"Little Sunny, eat." The little guy reached up on his tiptoes as he tried to put the piece of osmanthus cake in Zhao Yang's mouth: "Little Yangyang, osmanthus cake, eat."

When he saw this, Feng Sanyuan nodded in relief. The little guy knew how to share, it was a good thing.

Zhao Yang stood there and looked at Little Feng Ye who didn't even come up to his waist, his young face had a calmness that was different from his peers: "Your subordinate cannot eat this, Master you eat it!"

He was almost eight years old and he was very sensible. Back then, he had been brought here by Feng Jiu and they had tutors who taught him to read and practice martial arts. He had been studying very hard ever since then. The Phoenix Empire's Princess, Feng Jiu was someone he always admired deep in his heart. She saved him and asked Country Ruler to cultivate him. She even arranged for him to stay by Master's side to grow up together with Master.

Although he was Little Master Feng Ye's personal bodyguard, the Country Ruler and Supreme Emperor treated him like family. Everything Little Master had, he had too.

In order to not let anyone down or disappoint Princess, he continued to practice hard. He had promised Princess, Country Ruler and the Supreme Emperor that he would protect Little Master well.

Moreover, his father, mother, grandfather and grandmother were saved because of Princess Feng Jiu. It was because of her that they were able to go from wanderless ghosts to cultivate as ghosts and be able to walk around during the day. He would always remember her kindness and grace.

"Little Yangyang, eat, eat." The little guy was relentless. He stretched his little hand and stood on his tiptoes and clung on to his body, all because he wanted him to eat a piece of fragrant osmanthus cake.

Upon seeing this, Feng Sanyuan smiled and said: "Little Yangyang, just eat it! You know how stubborn Little Ye'er is. Since he has given you the cake, he will insist that you eat it."

Zhao Yang thought about it when he heard this, and finally, he took the piece of cake and ate it.

The little guy's eyes crinkled up with his smile when he saw it. He ran back to his father and opened his mouth: "Father, osmanthus cake."

"Hahaha, alright, father will feed you." He took another piece of osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth. This time, the little guy finally ate happily.

Chapter 1647: Different Ideas

"Although Ye'er is still young but he can't be spoiled like this."

At some point, Su Xi had appeared and was walking over from a short distance away. She felt that it wasn't good that Feng Sanyuan doted on their son so much that he played with him everyday and gave him food all the time.

"Mother!" As soon as Little Ye'er saw her, he slid off his father's thighs and rushed towards his mother and leapt straight at her.

Su Xi bent down and caught him. She said with a calm face: "Ye'er, have you forgotten what Mother said to you?"

"I haven't forgotten, Ye'er remembers! The mental cultivation method Mother wants Ye'er to memorise, Ye'er has memorised it all!" Su Xi's expression softened at the little guy's clingy voice and small and pleasing appearance.

He was such a small person and pulled on one's heartstrings so much, she found it unbearable to punish him cruelly.

"Don't be too strict with the child, he is fine like this." Feng Sanyuan said. When she came towards him, he took her hand and bade her to sit next to him: "The child is still so young, he has plenty of time to practice. What's more, Ye'er is so intelligent and learns quickly, don't worry."

"You can't spoil him like this." Su Xi shook her head and said to her son in her arms: "Go! Go and learn boxing with Yangyang."

"Mother, Ye'er doesn't want to go. Ye'er wants to play with Mother and Father." The little guy lay in her arms and refused to leave.

"Be a good boy, Mother will make your favourite dumplings tonight." She said softly and beckoned Zhao Yang to come over: "Yangyang, take Ye'er to the martial arts training field and make sure he learns one form of boxing, you can't let him be lazy."

"Yes." Zhao Yang responded and said to Feng Ye: "Master, let's go!"

"Then Little Yangyang has to carry me on his back." He was in a bad mood and didn't want to go to the martial arts training field.

"Sure." Zhao Yang squatted down and beckoned for him to climb on his back.

When he saw this, Little Feng Ye beamed with a happy smile on his face and threw himself onto his back. He wrapped his arms around his neck: "Riding a horse! Riding a horse! Little Yangyang, run faster!"

When she saw the two children had gone some distance away, Su Xi looked at Feng Sanyuan next to her: "Although the child is young, but they learn fast when they're young, it's best to learn things at this age. You can't spoil him just because you love him, that's not love, that's harming him."

"What if one day we are no longer by his side, and he can't even compare to an ordinary child, how would you be able to be at ease? Even if he grows up in a Royal Family and grows up by our side, he must learn to be independent and learn to take care of himself."

"He is still so young, we should wait till he is at least five years old before he starts learning. He's too young now." Feng Sanyuan said. He didn't feel that it was good for children to learn so much from such a young age. Instead, he felt that they should be allowed to play happily.

When it came to teaching children, the two of them had very different ideas. From time to time they would argue about this. Fortunately, their arguments weren't serious. It added more spark to their relationship to argue once in a while.

Su Xi said in disapproval: "He's not young anymore. Three years old is the best age to learn things. He was able to memorise the mental cultivation method that I asked him to memorise too."

Upon hearing this, Feng Sanyuan said:" Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this for now. Let's talk about Little Jiu and the rest! Last time I received news from them and they are coming home soon. By now Feng Xiao should have also met up with Little Jiu and the rest, I just wonder if they met up on the road or somewhere else?"

Chapter 1648: Don't Know Her

"No matter where they are, all that matters is that they are safe." Su Xi said. She thought of something else and smiled: "We on the other hand need to make the preparations for their wedding. Whether it's for Little Jiu or Little Jiu's mother Wanrong, I think that we need to make sure this wedding is going to be wonderful."

"That's for sure." Feng Sanyuan nodded and smiled in agreement.

On the other side, Little Feng Ye and Zhao Yang had arrived at the martial arts training field and when he looked at the guards who were there sparring, Little Feng Ye's rolled his eyes then he held on to his stomach and screamed: "Little Yangyang, my stomach hurts."

Zhao Yang was startled and he said: "Then I will take you to see the Royal Doctor."

"No need, no need, just take me back and I will be fine after I have a nap." The little guy said quickly.

Upon hearing this, creases appeared on Zhao Yang's forehead and he said to Little Feng Ye who was clinging on to his back and refused to come down: "Master, do you want to memorise mental cultivation methods or do you want to lift weights?"

"I want to sleep, I want to eat delicious food, I want to play, I want to..." The little guy sprawled on his back and used his soft clingy voice as he spoke. His delicate face was wrinkled together, his little mouth was pursed together.

"You can only choose between memorising mental cultivation methods or boxing practice."

"But I don't understand the mental cultivation methods that I memorise. I've memorised them all but I don't understand anything!" The little guy slid off Zhao Yang's back and pursed his lips together in a pout, his eyes were filled with tears as he looked at him: "Little Yangyang, that's not fun at all."

When he saw this, Zhao Yang thought for a while, then he said: "Then I will take you somewhere else." He said, and took his hand in his as he led him to another place.

"What are we going to do? Where are we going to play." Little Feng Ye asked as he walked alongside him with his little legs and asked questions from time to time.

"You'll know when we get there." Zhao Yang said. He had brought him to an empty side hall.

When they arrived inside the empty side hall, Zhao Yang stopped and took a look around, then he said to Little Feng Ye: "Master, my Father and Mother, and my Grandfather and Grandmother are all here. Have you seen them before?"

Little Feng Ye's eyes widened when he heard this and his innocent eyes looked around: "No, there is no one here."

However, as soon as he had spoken, a figure gradually appeared. It was a woman dressed in a plain and elegant dress, but her face was slightly pale.

"Yangyang, why did you bring Little Feng Ye here today?"

"Huh? Why did she appear suddenly?" Little Feng Ye looked at the woman approaching curiously: "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"She is my Mother. My Mother belongs to Princess. They've come to see me." Zhao Yang said, and he raised his head up to look at his mother: "Mother, has your cultivation level become more powerful again?"

Ever since they had started practising their cultivation, they were able to appear under the sun in daylight and their cultivation strength had also improved a lot. Moreover, they were able to control their own breath very well now too, so there was no need to worry about their negative energy affecting his body.

"Princess?" The little tilted his head and asked curiously: "Is that my niece who is older than me but has to call me Little Uncle?"

Upon hearing this, another figure appeared from the dark. It was Zhao Yang's father. He wore a smile on his face and he nodded and said: "That's right, it's her. She's called Feng Jiu and she is a very powerful person."

The little guy thought for a while, his lips were pursed slightly as he did, then he said in anguish: "But I don't know her, I don't remember what she looks like anymore."

Chapter 1649: Sudden Storm

"You will see her in the future. In fact, she should be back soon." Zhao Yang's father said with a smile, then he looked at his son: "Shouldn't you be practising at this time? Why are you here?"

"He doesn't want to practice boxing, so I brought him here." Zhao Yang said to his father: "Father, we will practice in this courtyard! You can give us some pointers too."

"Alright." Zhao Yang's father nodded. He stepped back to give them space to practice what they had been learning before he gave them any pointers.

As they looked at the two children gesturing, the couple couldn't help but smile at each other. They never thought that they would see their son grow up, this kind of happiness was hard to come by, and it was something they cherished dearly.

What's more, they were even more grateful to the person who gave them such happiness, their son's Master.

A few days later, when the entire Imperial City was shrouded in the darkness of the night, and when all seemed quiet and peaceful, a huge black airship hovered above the sky above the Imperial City of Phoenix Dynasty.

In the dark night, the atmosphere seemed solemn, and the strong murderous intent permeated through the air. That kind of strong coercion and murderous aura shocked the Family Patriarchs of the families in an instant and created an unprecedented crisis...

Almost just for an instant, the Family Patriarchs of each family rushed out of their courtyards and wanted to leap up to the sky to see what had happened. However, when they gathered their breath, they felt a powerful breath permeating the sky above the entire Imperial City. Their pressure and breaths were pressed down and it made it difficult for them to breathe.

"Hiss!"

How could this be!

They gasped, shocked. Especially when they stood on the roof and saw the black airship that hovered over the Imperial City and stopped directly above the Imperial Palace, their hearts sank.

What is that? Where did that huge black airship come from? What do they want?

The Old Family Patriarchs felt extremely uneasy and they gathered quickly to discuss.

"Could it be an enemy?"

"The coercion that is covering the sky above the Imperial City is too strong, and our strength is definitely not comparable to it. I'm afraid, if it is an enemy, then it is a strong enemy, and it's directed at the Feng Family."

"Could it be trouble that Feng Jiu stirred up outside?"

"Most likely."

"Look, quick!"

One of the Old Family Patriarchs whispered and pointed to the top of the Palace. The entire Palace had been enveloped by a powerful gas shield and trapped everyone inside it. The halo above the gas shield exuded a beautiful white light in the night and released a powerful aura and isolated the Palace from the outside.

Moreover, at this moment, cultivators jumped down from the huge black airship one by one. Although they were quite far away, however, they seemed to be able to feel the powerful pressure and fierce murderous aura from those people. Their hearts trembled and they breathed in a breath of cold air.

"Hiss!"

"This, do they want to destroy the whole Feng Family? Are they trying to destroy the entire Phoenix Dynasty?" Geng Family Patriarch said and took a breath. When he thought of the Feng Family in the Imperial Palace, he couldn't help but rushed forward.

He couldn't stand by and watch without helping. Even if his strength was not great, at this moment, all he wanted to do was try to help!

Chapter 1650: Intention To Kill

"What is Old Geng trying to do? Does he not want to live anymore?"

A few others had exclaimed but daren't follow him towards the Imperial Palace. Although they were also friendly with the Feng Family, they were not optimistic about the situation. They were afraid the sudden extending of help would cause trouble for their families.

I wasn't that they were cold-blooded and heartless, but rather their strength was limited and they knew that they were not the opponents of those people, so of course they didn't dare make any risky moves.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?" Another Old Family Patriarch whispered, his expression conflicted.

"What else can we do? Those are obviously not people we can deal with."

Another person said helplessly: "It's one thing if we can help one another, however, those people are too strong and the strength of those cultivators are unusual. I'm afraid that even if we gather all our strength to help them, we would be unable to defeat them. After all, our strength is limited."

"Look over there, that's the Feng Guards from the Feng Mansion." One of them pointed in another direction. The Feng Guards who had come out from the Feng Mansion were rushing towards the Imperial Palace.

"It's useless. You can see from the Boundary Barrier that those people are extraordinary. The Feng Guards won't be able to get inside. Even if they are able to get inside, they will only make useless sacrifices." An Old Family Patriarch sighed and looked at the Imperial Palace that was trapped under the barrier. He knew deep down that the Feng Family were in grave danger.

Another Old Family Patriarch said: "However, other than Feng Jiu being away, Feng Xiao also seemed to have left a while ago. There's only Feng Old Patriarch, his wife and their young son in the Palace right now."

When everyone heard this, they fell silent. Yes, although there were only the three of them inside, they would most likely not survive. Besides that, the Feng Guards inside the Palace and the Feng Guards outside the Palace....

At the other side, Geng Old Patriarch had rushed towards the Palace Gates and tried to break through the barrier, but he was bounced off. Just as he was feeling desperate, he saw Feng Sanyuan besieged in midair by several cultivators. When he saw that he was only wearing his inner garment and his blood stains on his body, though he was anxious, he also calmed down at the same time.

Even if he had managed to get inside, he would be unable to save Old Feng. Those people's target was the Feng Family, he was afraid that it didn't bode well for Feng Old Patriarch and his wife. However, their child Feng Ye had to be saved at all costs!

But, how would he get inside? He didn't know of any secret passages in the Palace. How could he go in to save Old Feng's young son?

The sounds of yelling and the collision of swords could be heard. And yet, though the Imperial Palace was right in front of him, it was inaccessible due to the boundary barrier. He could only listen to the sounds of fighting and the screams. The sounds of the clanging of swords colliding made his heart tighten in anxiety.

Feng Guards! The Feng Guards from the Feng Mansion! They must know!

At the same time, when the Feng Guards had arrived at the Palace Gates and realised they were unable to get through the boundary barrier, they turned back quickly.

When the eight people in lead watched the fight within the boundary barrier, and listened to the screams, their hearts trembled.

Those people were after the Feng Family!

Looking at the situation, they wanted to wipe out the entire Feng Family!

Who the hell were they! Who would dare be so bold? The surrounding countries? Impossible! Those people were friendly with the Phoenix Dynasty and would never be this opportunistic. Could they be from the Eight Supreme Empires? Could their Master have made enemies outside?

No matter what, they couldn't just stand and watch their Master's relatives be slaughtered like this!
