47: Chapter 47 Surrounded?

"All Elders, follow me to reinforce Luo Feng Valley!"

The Grand Elder's angry roar shook the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, and the group of white-haired Elders responded in unison: "Yes!"

A massive group of figures streaked across the sky, racing toward Luo Feng Valley.

Meanwhile, inside Luo Feng Valley, a different scene of tension was unfolding.

"Xiang Tian, you little rogue! You've actually had Dao Companions for a long time, and more than one! I really want to kill you with one sword strike!" Feng Huowu's pretty face flushed red, her chest heaving violently.

Did her ten days of compromise only result in her becoming just one of his many women?

Feng Zhi stood to the side, her brow furrowed. "Xiang Tian, I know you might not have meant it, but Xiaowu is a treasure I've held in the palm of my hand since she was a child. I absolutely cannot accept you making her share a husband with others!"

"Mother-in-law, rest assured." Xiang Tian's tone was calm, without a hint of guilt. "I, Xiang Tian, never show favoritism toward any of my women. As long as they are mine, I will treat them all equally and keep them safe."

He would never give up the other women who were devoted to him for the sake of Feng Huowu.

"You... you're something else!" Feng Huowu trembled with rage, momentarily at a loss for words.

She could tell that Xiang Tian was speaking from the heart, but this "treating everyone equally" was exactly what she found most unacceptable.

"Huowu, let's talk about this in detail later. When your anger has subsided, I'll explain it to you slowly." Xiang Tian stopped arguing, took Yan Qingyu's hand, and turned to leave.

Mother and daughter Feng Zhi were still wary of Yan Qingyu; after all, Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's miserable state was still fresh in their minds, so they naturally didn't dare to stop them rashly.

Returning to Feng Huowu's former small courtyard, Xiang Tian closed the door behind them.

With a powerhouse like Yan Qingyu at the Middle Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, he was full of confidence. She could be both a bodyguard and a bedmate—it was simply perfect.

"Qingyu, it's time for us to continue our business." Just as they entered, Xiang Tian impatiently swept her up in his arms, his eyes burning.

Yan Qingyu's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded gently. "Mm."

"However..." Xiang Tian pinched her cheek and teased, "You're too submissive, which actually makes me lose interest. Why not return to your true nature and be a bit more open?"

A flash of cunning crossed Yan Qingyu's eyes. She suddenly exerted force, pinning Xiang Tian down beneath her. Her delicate hand gripped his chin as she spoke in a seductive tone, "Young Master, do you want me to be more proactive?"

"Oh? You want to be on top?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow and lay flat. "Of course, as you wish."

Just as the atmosphere between them was heating up, Yan Qingyu suddenly stopped. Her expression turned serious. "Young Master, news came from my Family asking me to return. Do you think I should go back?"

"Hmm? The Yan Family suddenly wants you back?" Xiang Tian's eyes narrowed. "There's definitely something fishy about this. Do they know you've had a Charm Spirit Physique Awakening?"

"They shouldn't know." Yan Qingyu shook her head. "It's only been a few days since my Physique awakened; the news couldn't possibly have spread that fast."

"Then you definitely shouldn't go back." Xiang Tian said with certainty. "It's likely a conspiracy. They might want to marry you off to some old fellow to consolidate the Family's power."

Yan Qingyu felt a chill in her heart, then relaxed and kissed Xiang Tian's lips with a smile. "I knew Young Master would stand up for me. I know what to do now."

Just as the two were about to continue, a deafening roar suddenly exploded, piercing through the courtyard walls and echoing throughout Luo Feng Valley: "Everyone in Luo Feng Valley, get the hell out here and meet your deaths!"

"Huh? Trouble has come to the door?" Xiang Tian's mood was instantly interrupted, and his face darkened.

Luo Feng Valley was now practically his second home, so he naturally wouldn't sit by and do nothing.

The two quickly walked out of the courtyard. At the entrance of Luo Feng Valley, a group of Elders dressed in Heavenly Phoenix Sect attire were watching like tigers. The withered old man leading them had a majestic aura, even stronger than Yan Qingyu's.

It was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.

"You have a lot of nerve to actually dare kill my son, Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect!" Grand Elder Feng Cang's eyes were wide with rage as he stared fixedly at Feng Zhi and her daughter. His Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm pressure made many Luo Feng Valley Disciples tremble.

"Your son, Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect, took the initiative to come here to kill; his death was deserved!" Feng Zhi was not afraid at all, standing side by side with Feng Huowu, with the Elders and Disciples of Luo Feng Valley behind her. "If you want revenge, come at me!"

"Since you're the ones who did it, that makes things simple!" The Grand Elder snorted coldly and gave a sharp command, "Elders, hear my order! Today, we shall slaughter Luo Feng Valley clean to avenge the Sect Master!"

"Stop!"

Just as the Heavenly Phoenix Sect Elders were about to move, Yan Qingyu suddenly descended with Xiang Tian, blocking the way in front of Feng Zhi and her daughter.

"Senior Yan, take Xiang Tian and leave quickly!" Feng Huowu's brow was tightly knit, her tone urgent. "Grand Elder Feng Cang is a Late Stage Martial Emperor expert; you are no match for him!"

"Huowu, are you worried about me?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.

This woman who said one thing but meant another was quite interesting.

"Who's worried about you!" Feng Huowu's cheeks reddened as she snorted. "You aren't a Disciple of my Luo Feng Valley. If you die here, the Charm Spirit Sect will definitely not let it go, and it will only bring even greater trouble to Luo Feng Valley!"

Hearing this, Yan Qingyu couldn't help but smile. "Sister Huowu, there's no need to call me Senior. We'll be sisters from now on."

"Are you finished chatting?" Grand Elder Feng Cang's angry roar interrupted their conversation. "Since you want to die together, I'll fulfill your wish!"

"You old geezer, do you have no eyes?" Xiang Tian shouted angrily at Grand Elder Feng Cang. "Can't you see I'm chatting with my wives? Don't you know it's very rude to interrupt people so rashly?"

"Presumptuous brat, you dare to be arrogant before me!" Grand Elder Feng Cang's eyes narrowed, his killing intent surging. He struck out with a palm aimed directly at Xiang Tian's face. "Then I'll start by taking your life as an offering for my son!"

"Hmph!" Yan Qingyu reacted extremely quickly, tapping out with a finger. "Phantom Spirit Finger!"

It aimed straight for the center of Grand Elder Feng Cang's brow.

Grand Elder Feng Cang had to temporarily change the direction of his attack, striking his palm against the Phantom Spirit Finger.

Boom!

The palm force and finger energy collided, instantly blasting a deep pit several yards wide into the ground.

"Young Master, leave quickly!" Yan Qingyu threw Xiang Tian out of the battlefield and moved to face Grand Elder Feng Cang. "I'll hold him back!"

"Little girl, you've only just promoted to the Middle Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before me? You're simply looking for death!" Disdain filled Grand Elder Feng Cang's eyes; the gap in cultivation was like a chasm.

"Hmph!" Yan Qingyu snorted coldly, her figure dodging like a ghost.

She wasn't naturally skilled at frontal combat; the advantage of the Charm Spirit Physique lay in illusions and field control. Facing Grand Elder Feng Cang's powerful attacks, she could only barely manage to hold her own.

Xiang Tian stood in the distance, his brow furrowed.

Although Yan Qingyu's movements were agile, she would eventually fail if she only defended. Furthermore, with a group of Heavenly Phoenix Sect Elders watching like tigers nearby, she would lose sooner or later.

"Sister Yan, leave quickly! Don't worry about us!" Feng Huowu couldn't help but shout as she saw Yan Qingyu in a perilous situation.

The previous title of "Senior" was, after all, just a matter of habit.

When Yan Qingyu was the Sect Master, she was still an innocent young girl. Now, setting aside their status, the age difference between the two wasn't actually that large.

"Hmm? You finally called me sister." Yan Qingyu dodged a palm strike from Grand Elder Feng Cang, a smile appearing on her face. "Then I definitely can't leave."

Watching Yan Qingyu fight for her life on the battlefield, Xiang Tian was extremely anxious. "System, think of something! If you don't come up with a plan, I'm going to lose two wives!"

[Host, don't you still have one lottery chance?]

"Huh?" Xiang Tian was stunned, then cursed, "System, just help me directly! My heart races every time I do a lottery draw for fear of pulling something useless. My heart can't take it!"

[Host, rest assured. Who knows, maybe your luck will explode this time and you'll pull a Heaven-Defying Divine Artifact? We'll talk after you draw.]

Xiang Tian took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Yan Qingyu in the perilous battlefield. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I'm going for it! Whether we win this time depends on you!"

He no longer hesitated and slammed the [Lottery] button on the System panel.

The pointer spun rapidly, moving so fast it became a blur.

Finally, the pointer slowed down and landed on the purple area!

A flash of golden light occurred, and a package appeared before Xiang Tian.

He opened the package with trembling hands. With a "humming" sound, a Golden Bronze Man flew out and floated before his eyes.

The bronze man's entire body shimmered with flowing light, looking ancient and mysterious.

Looking at the Golden Bronze Man floating in the System space, Xiang Tian fell into a complete silence.

What on earth can this thing do?
