268: Feng Qing'er: Thank you, Master Gu Fei, for giving me a new life!

"Now you know how to talk about reason?"

Gu Fei's lips curled into a sneer.

He coldly scanned the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's high-ranking members before him. These fellows weren't like this when they besieged the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan. As arrogant and overbearing as they were then, that's how obsequious they are now.

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Phoenix's heart sank. A trace of despair flashed in her golden eyes, knowing that today's matter would likely not end well. With her ancestor's phantom shattered, how could her Two-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage cultivation possibly stop Gu Fei and the others?

Thinking of this, Phoenix took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"Young Master Gu Fei, this time it was indeed my clan's mistake. We should not have disturbed your wife's quiet cultivation at the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan."

A look of pleading appeared on her beautiful face as she said softly, "I beg you, spare my clan!"

Saying this, Phoenix suddenly knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the earth, her voice filled with entreaty.

Watching this proud Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan humble herself so, the surrounding Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members all looked despondent.

Once upon a time, how mighty was their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan? Yet now, they had to beg so humbly for others' forgiveness.

"Heh, if you had known this day would come, why did you act as you did?"

Just then, a clear, mocking voice suddenly came from the wooden prison at the top of the giant Wutongtree.

Everyone looked up, only to see a graceful woman in a colorful dress leaning against the edge of the wooden prison, her eyes full of scorn.

The speaker was Feng Qing'er, who was utterly disillusioned with the clan's high-ranking members. At this moment, for the sake of her inner satisfaction, she no longer cared about life or death.

"How dare you!"

"Feng Qing'er, you, a condemned criminal, still dare to speak such nonsense? It seems you don't want to live!"

Eagle Phoenix and Kun Huang shouted sternly, their eyes wide and filled with rage.

"I'm going to die anyway. Rather than being taken by you to be sacrificed to that idiot Jiu Feng, it's better to die now and be done with it!"

Facing the Elders' scolding, Feng Qing'er showed no fear. Instead, she sneered mockingly.

"Back then, if it weren't for Jiu Feng courting death and failing to see the situation clearly, how could he have been killed!"

"And you high-ranking members, you condemned us without distinguishing right from wrong!"

"Could we have stopped such a powerful expert?"

"Also, with the strength of our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, seeking revenge on the Gu Clan isn't just hitting a rock with an egg? Just for the Clan Chief's personal vendetta, you're dragging our entire clan's fate into it?"

Feng Qing'er's words were impassioned, each word piercing the heart.

Her bright eyes sparkled with anger, and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment towards the clan's high-ranking members.

These words immediately caused a huge stir among the clan members.

Many people secretly nodded, clearly agreeing with Feng Qing'er's words.

Many of these people had long been dissatisfied with the high-ranking members' decisions, but were unable to speak out due to their status.

Seeing the clan members' reactions at this moment, Eagle Phoenix and Kun Huang's expressions were noticeably unnatural.

Especially Eagle Phoenix; his aged face was covered in fury, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

"Still spouting nonsense, you're courting death!"

Eagle Phoenix roared, then with a movement of his palm, a giant golden eagle claw appeared out of thin air. The eagle claw was dozens of feet wide, emitting terrifying pressure, and fiercely clawed towards the wooden prison.

If this claw landed, no one inside the wooden prison would likely survive.

Just as the eagle claw was about to strike the wooden prison, an invisible force suddenly appeared, instantly shattering the golden eagle claw.

"Heh heh, interesting!"

Gu Fei chuckled, clearly having been the one to block Eagle Phoenix's attack just now.

"He actually saved me?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes; she hadn't expected Gu Fei to help her.

At this moment, seeing his attack easily neutralized, Eagle Phoenix was clearly stunned.

"Young Master Gu Fei, I am punishing a traitor within my clan. What is the meaning of this?"

However, very quickly, he forced himself to calm down and questioned.

As soon as his voice fell, a purple-gold figure flashed like lightning and appeared before Eagle Phoenix.

"What are you, daring to speak to Brother Gu Fei like that!"

Zi Yan snorted coldly, and with a kick of her leg.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, in an instant, Eagle Phoenix was sent flying directly, crashing into a mountain peak in the distance.

The entire process was so fast that almost no one saw it clearly.

It was as if a figure flashed by, and the next moment, he just flew out on his own.

This stunned everyone.

Before anyone could react.

"Rumble!"

The entire mountain peak collapsed with a roar under this blow, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. When the dust settled, everyone could see Eagle Phoenix's miserable state.

He was half-buried in the rubble, constantly gushing blood from his mouth, his life or death unknown.

This sudden scene stunned everyone present. One must know that Eagle Phoenix was a One-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage expert, yet he was kicked into such a state by Zi Yan.

The others trembled all over with fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Heh heh!

If I don't teach this guy a lesson, he probably won't understand.

Am I here to reason with you?

Gu Fei's lips curved slightly upwards.

"From now on, the position of Clan Chief of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan shall be hers!"

Gu Fei nodded with satisfaction at the sight, then his gaze turned to the wooden prison, and he said lightly.

Saying this, he extended his finger towards Feng Qing'er.

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire venue.

Phoenix and Kun Huang were even more shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Let a junior with Dou Zun cultivation be the Clan Chief?"

Phoenix subconsciously blurted out, her tone carrying a hint of doubt.

As soon as her voice fell, she realized she had said the wrong thing. A cold glint flashed in Gu Fei's eyes, and he raised his hand, unleashing a burst of Qi.

"Pfft!"

Phoenix, a Two-Star Dou Sheng, had no chance to react. She was pierced through by the Qi, a large amount of blood gushed out, staining a portion of the sky, and she died on the spot.

"Anyone who disobeys will meet the same fate as her!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

This scene completely intimidated the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan experts present.

Even Kun Huang, a One-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert, was trembling at this moment, not daring to let out a single breath.

Subsequently, Gu Fei waved his hand gently, and the giant wooden prison immediately shattered into pieces, instantly freeing the dozens of people imprisoned within.

"Let me be the Clan Chief."

Feng Qing'er walked out of the wooden prison, her expression dazed.

She never expected such a huge change to occur.

However...

Can I really bear this heavy responsibility?

With my qualifications, I am simply not worthy of this Clan Chief position.

Feng Qing'er bit her lip.

Soon, Feng Qing'er regained her composure, and a look of determination ignited in her beautiful eyes.

Since Young Master Gu Fei wants me to be the Clan Chief, there's nothing for me to hesitate about!

Today, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is increasingly decaying.

I must pull myself together.

I must change the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan for the better and make that past decay disappear.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu Fei!"

Thinking of this.

Feng Qing'er took a deep breath, faced Gu Fei's direction, and respectfully knelt in a bow.

Gu Fei nodded.

Through the feedback of emotional values, Gu Fei could clearly perceive everyone's inner thoughts. (End of chapter)
