177: Azure Dragon does not uphold martial ethics

"Where is she?" Feng Xi stared at Long Yin, her voice icy.

Long Yin grew wary in his heart: "What do you want to do? You're not planning to harm her, are you?"

Seeing Long Yin's instinctively protective stance, Feng Xi felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her anger flared even more intensely.

She forcefully suppressed her killing intent and said coldly, "Relax. Now is a time when we need all hands on deck. I won't kill her."

Long Yin still didn't believe her.

Seeing this, Feng Xi also lost her patience, her tone turning cold:

"Whether you take me there or not makes no difference. I've already sensed her aura, right in that direction."

She raised a hand and pointed towards the direction of the Five Evolutions Supreme World. As soon as the words left her lips, her entire figure transformed into a crimson streak of light, tearing through the void as she sped away!

"Wait!" Long Yin cried out in great alarm. Ignoring his severely injured body, he hastily mustered his remaining power, transforming into a dark-gold streak of light to give chase.

After the two left.

Only then did the Immortal King Divine Thoughts spying from the distant void dare to catch their breath.

"They're gone just like that?"

"Immortal Venerable... no, perhaps even more terrifying than an Immortal Venerable!"

"Too terrifying! Slapping an Immortal Emperor to death with one palm—what level of power is that?!"

"I never imagined Long Yin actually knew such a powerful being. No wonder he was so confident!"

"This powerful being seems to have a rather special relationship with Long Yin. Doesn't that mean that Emperor Yan is also connected to this terrifying existence?"

"It's over. Back then, we even had the Night Elf Queen go threaten Emperor Yan, demanding he hand over half his territory."

"Recently, my clan's branches in other Major Thousand Worlds have been constantly calling for aid, saying the Taiyan army is expanding like crazy. At this rate, Taiyan will inevitably march on the Myriad Laws Star Realm!"

"With this terrifying existence backing them, what can we use to resist? We can only submit."

The Immortal Kings' Divine Thoughts communicated, their tones filled with despair and helplessness.

At that moment, a Divine Thought snorted coldly. It was the Star King:

"Why should we submit?"

"So what if she's an Immortal Venerable? My Star Clan stands shoulder to shoulder with the four great races of Gods, Demons, Monsters, and Humans in this Universe!"

"Our clan doesn't just have Immortal Venerables, we even have Immortal Emperors! What's there to be afraid of!"

Hearing this, the Immortal Kings from the other races exchanged glances, their hearts filled with bitterness.

Your Star Clan has deep foundations, of course you're not afraid.

But for us smaller clans, our strongest are only at the Immortal Venerable level. How would we dare to challenge a being who can slap a late stage immortal emperor to death?

If we were to provoke such an existence because of this.

It's not impossible that the powerful beings behind them, upon finding out, might even take care of us first.

They might even announce severing ties with us before wiping us out.

After a moment of silence, an Immortal King sighed, "You all discuss it. In my view, Taiyan's annexation of the Myriad Laws Star Realm is already a foregone conclusion."

"I'll take my clan and migrate to another Star Domain."

Another Immortal King also said despondently, "Sigh, you all have a way out. I can only choose to submit."

For a time, the Immortal Kings each had their own thoughts. Their Divine Thoughts withdrew one after another, returning to their respective clans to start planning their next moves.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes.

From this day forth, the landscape of the Myriad Laws Star Realm would undergo a complete transformation!

... At the Star Gazing Platform of the Taiyan Immortal Court.

Di Yan placed the final piece on the board and smiled slightly at the Master of the Ghost Valley. "You lose."

Looking at his own hopeless position on the board, the Master of the Ghost Valley smiled wryly and shook his head. He stood up and bowed. "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, your strategy profound and far-reaching. This subject is sincerely convinced."

Di Yan nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something and looked up towards the sky.

[Name: Feng Xi]

[Cultivation: Immortal Emperor Perfection]

[Taboo Identity: Origin Ancestral Phoenix]

[Awakening Progress: 70% Awakened]

[Status: Not Pregnant]

[Luck Extraction Progress: 00.00%]

[Target for Extracting Predestined Luck: Long Yin]

[Son of Destiny's Reincarnation Identity: Origin Ancestral Dragon]

[...]

Almost simultaneously, a fiery-red, graceful figure, ignoring the world barrier of the Five Evolutions World and the grand formation of the Taiyan Immortal City as if they were nothing, directly appeared in the sky above the Star Gazing Platform!

Appearing along with her was Yuan Chu, looking anxious and trying to block her way.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Chu landed beside Di Yan, her face showing shame. "Her speed was too fast, her strength too great. I couldn't stop her."

Di Yan waved his hand, indicating it was fine. "Step back."

Yuan Chu bowed. Her figure slowly faded, merging into heaven and earth.

Feng Xi stood in the void, her bare feet lightly touching the air. Her phoenix eyes first swept over the direction where Yuan Chu had disappeared, a flash of surprise flickering deep within them.

The will of the great dao taking form?

And cultivated to the Golden Immortal level?

That is interesting.

Then, her gaze fell upon Di Yan. The surprise in her eyes grew even stronger.

Emperor Fate?

Such pure, such vast imperial Luck... Could it be that he has also reincarnated?

Thoughts raced through her mind.

In the first lifetime, there was also an existence possessing the Emperor Fate, named Di Tian. He was the supreme ruler who governed a myriad of realms, his power reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth.

Logically speaking, since people like them survived, Di Tian had no reason to perish. His true spirit must have also entered the cycle of Reincarnation.

If Di Yan truly is Di Tian's Reincarnation, then everything makes sense.

But what's strange is...

Feng Xi focused her gaze, attempting to see through Di Yan's Origin. Yet she found that her proud power of insight, when directed at Di Yan, was like clay oxen entering the sea—she could only see the surface-level Early Golden Immortal cultivation and the vast imperial Luck.

The deeper essence, the traces of Reincarnation, even the threads of Karma—everything was a blur!

"I actually can't see through him?" Feng Xi was inwardly shocked and doubtful. "If he really is Di Tian's Reincarnation, it's impossible for me not to see through him. Could it be... Di Tian's true spirit was completely destroyed?"

"Is this Emperor Fate the result of some other Opportunity?"

As she pondered this, her gaze shifted and landed on Long Qinger, who stood beside Di Yan.

When she clearly saw Long Qinger's appearance and sensed that familiar Azure Dragon Origin aura, an extremely sharp killing intent instantly erupted in Feng Xi's eyes!

"Long! Qing! Er!"

The three words seemed squeezed out from between gritted teeth, carrying bone-deep hatred and icy coldness:

"You shameless woman! You have no martial virtue! How dare you take advantage of Long Yin not having awakened his memories to trick him into marrying you!"

"I'll kill you!"

Before the words even finished, Feng Xi raised her jade-like hand. A Phoenix True Flame capable of incinerating the void transformed into a sharp sword, stabbing straight towards Long Qinger's heart!

This strike, fueled by rage, was executed with extreme speed and locked onto Long Qinger's aura, leaving her with nowhere to hide!

Long Qinger's face turned deathly pale. With only Mid Immortal King cultivation, facing Feng Xi's enraged strike, she didn't even have time to react!

"Senior, stop!"

At the critical moment, Long Yin's figure finally arrived. He blocked in front of Long Qinger while urgently shouting, "Didn't you promise you wouldn't kill her?!"

Feng Xi's movement halted. The fiery sword stopped inches from Long Yin's chest, the scorching heat causing the hair on his forehead to begin to curl.

Looking at Long Yin's protective stance, she felt both pain and anger in her heart, but ultimately dispersed the flames.

Long Qinger, her soul still unsettled, tightly grabbed Long Yin's arm. She looked at Feng Xi, both frightened and angry. "You... who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Long Yin swept a glance over Di Yan, the Master of the Ghost Valley, Wei Zhongxian, and the others on the Star Gazing Platform. Seeing they were all his own people, he no longer hid the truth. He roughly recounted what had just happened in the starry sky, Feng Xi's identity, and the relationship between the two of them in their first lifetime.

After hearing this, aside from Di Yan who remained calm-faced, the Master of the Ghost Valley, Wei Zhongxian, and even Long Qinger all looked at Feng Xi in shock.

Origin Ancestral Phoenix!

An Innate Divine Being of the same level as Long Yin's Origin Ancestral Dragon!

Having her identity exposed by Long Yin in front of everyone, Feng Xi felt somewhat annoyed, but her focus remained mostly on Long Qinger.

After hearing Long Yin's account, Long Qinger was first shocked. Then she looked at Feng Xi, a flash of understanding appearing in her eyes, followed immediately by intense vigilance and a trace of something hard to detect—triumph?

She tightly clung to Long Yin's arm, looking up and pressing him:

"Husband, tell me! Do you choose me, or do you choose her?"
