187: Central Palace, force her out

“It’s Feng Linghuang!”

“All that power was absorbed by Feng Linghuang!”

Fear gripped everyone’s hearts.

Feng Linghuang’s ability was simply too heaven-defying!

The Divine Phoenix phantoms killed people, then absorbed their power to restore themselves.

At the same time, she could receive replenishment from these Divine Phoenix phantoms, and also gain the convergence and feedback of their power.

It was simply unsolvable!

This ability was truly terrifying!

Their gazes turned towards where Feng Linghuang was located.

After killing the Water Crocodile Clan’s Third Prince, Feng Linghuang’s face also became exceptionally weary.

Her eyes flickered, and after a faint glance at the myriad races, she quickly retreated to where the Guardian Statue was.

This new ability she developed was powerful, but its drawback was also obvious: it required too long a recovery time.

She wasn’t strong enough yet to protect herself during a period of weakness.

Fortunately, the Guardian Statue was here; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to replenish her strength or recover her abilities well.

And after retreating into the Guardian Statue, Feng Linghuang quickly received replenishment from it.

Her body was once again filled with power, but for now, she still couldn’t use that Phoenix Nirvana ability.

That’s right, the ability she just used was the second form of “Phoenix Nirvana.”

And as Feng Linghuang’s figure retreated near the Guardian Statue, the people of the myriad races gnashed their teeth in hatred.

“Feng Linghuang’s strength is increasing too quickly!”

“We must force her to go all out, exhaust her stamina, and make her die from exhaustion!”

The people of the myriad races never expected that sending Feng Linghuang to this place would instead make her thrive.

They didn’t even know how Feng Linghuang knew about this place.

How did she know there would be a Guardian Statue here?

Damn it!

If they had known that sending Feng Linghuang here wouldn’t kill her but would instead allow her to train and grow, they would have left her in the Sky Vault Land to slowly wear her down!

“Damn it!”

Someone’s voice was low, saying, “Tell Blue Star to speed up! Force Feng Linghuang out!”

At this moment, Feng Linghuang was hiding under the protection of the Guardian Statue; there was no way to kill her.

Every time Feng Linghuang used a big move, she would become exhausted, but that Guardian Statue always allowed her to recover as before.

The crowd had no choice but to make her leave this Guardian Statue as soon as possible; otherwise, they would never be able to kill her and would become stepping stones for her to increase her strength!

By then, the more people they lost, the faster her strength would increase.

Thinking about what would happen after Feng Linghuang’s strength continued to grow stronger, a chill ran down everyone’s spines.

Even now, Feng Linghuang already made them tremble with fear.

If she continued to improve, could they still contain her?

No, she must die!

She could not be allowed to cower within that Guardian Statue.

And as that person’s voice rang out, among the myriad races, another voice spoke in a low tone: “Things on Blue Star have already begun.”

“Soon, there will be news!”

“By then, Feng Linghuang will have no choice but to come out!”

The person speaking had a grim expression, looking in Feng Linghuang’s direction.

Didn’t she want to protect Blue Star?

What if Blue Star was gone?

What if her parents, siblings, and clan members all suffered a catastrophic disaster?

“Keep pushing!”

Their gazes were icy cold.

And although the others were terrified, they still had to continue forward; after all, if they didn’t attack Feng Linghuang, and she repaired this Guardian Statue, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They didn’t know how long they had been planning to open a sliver of Blue Star’s formation barrier; absolutely no mistakes were allowed.

They would pile up bodies if they had to, to kill Feng Linghuang here!

At the very least, they couldn’t allow her any breathing room!

——

In the Tianlong Kingdom’s Royal Forbidden Ground.

Shen Mo and Nangong Mingyue’s figures moved through the labyrinthine palace halls.

Every palace here looked identical.

As soon as Shen Mo and Nangong Mingyue stepped out of the palace they were previously in, they encountered another identical palace, and at once, Shen Mo realized they had encountered a maze.

Fortunately, Shen Mo’s Heaven and Earth Divine Eyes could see through this maze.

He led Nangong Mingyue directly towards the center of this palace hall.

Nangong Mingyue had originally wanted to use a secret technique again to point out the location of the central palace, but she didn’t expect Shen Mo’s movements to be so practiced, as if he was extremely familiar with the place, having visited countless times.

She asked, somewhat bewildered, “You… have been here before?”

“Do you believe that?”

Shen Mo gave her a sidelong glance. Didn’t she know whether he had been here or not?

This was their Tianlong Kingdom’s Royal Forbidden Ground, not their Shen Family’s secret realm; it was simply speechless.

Shen Mo ignored her question, simply pulling her past one trap and mechanism after another.

For some reason, Shen Mo always had a feeling that he couldn’t waste too much time here; otherwise, he would definitely regret it.

He had to resolve all of this as quickly as possible.

On the other side, Luo Fan struggled immensely to rush into this palace.

He had nearly died outside, using his last trump card to enter here.

And now, he had no reliance whatsoever, but thankfully, he still had the token given to him by the Holy Temple Envoy.

This token seemed to allow passage through this palace; Luo Fan didn’t encounter any danger along the way. It seemed those Holy Temple Envoys weren’t entirely unprepared.

But why did he encounter so many demonic beasts outside along the way?

Luo Fan truly couldn’t figure it out.

He didn’t know that it was because Shen Mo had borrowed his luck.

So, those demonic beasts that were originally supposed to cause trouble for Shen Mo, the “villain,” all came for him instead!

Not only that, the giant dragon from before wouldn’t have found him either.

It was the arrival of Shen Mo and others that disturbed its sleep; otherwise, relying on the token in his hand, Luo Fan could have easily entered the palace.

Those Holy Temple Envoys were originally looking for a reliable person to activate the core, so why wouldn’t they be prepared?

They didn’t know who Luo Fan was; what if his strength was insufficient?

Moreover, they only needed him to be reliable; they didn’t need him to be very strong, otherwise, they wouldn’t have sought out the Miss County Princess.

In fact, if the Heavenly Dragon King hadn’t been watching so closely, they wouldn’t have sought out the Miss County Princess.

As a member of the royal family, she could, to a certain extent, help them conceal the Heavenly Dragon King’s aura detection.

Otherwise, in the capital of this Tianlong Kingdom, there was truly nothing that could escape the Heavenly Dragon King’s notice.

Even if he was a tiger with his teeth pulled, it didn’t mean he had no ability at all.

Therefore, the people of the Holy Temple went to the Miss County Princess.

As for Nangong Mingyue, they had initially considered her.

But thinking about it, Nangong Mingyue might not be so easy to control, so they turned to the Miss County Princess instead—

They had vaguely sensed Nangong Mingyue’s investigations, but they disdained to pay attention.

Once this secret realm was annihilated, the other party would be useless, so what was there to care about?
