146: The elven damsel in distress, Afuya!

Upon hearing this, Feng Peihang's expression immediately turned cautious.

Seeing the change in his expression, another Elf Clan man said in a more gentle tone, "Don't worry, we are not your enemies."

Hearing this, Feng Peihang finally responded, "Indeed, we are going to the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty this time. May I ask why you are inquiring about this? What is your purpose?"

"You are going to Great Xia to kill Chu Yun, the Chu Emperor of Great Xia, right?"

"It seems you haven't received the news yet."

"The Ten Great Dynasties of the Hundred Dynasty Land have already been defeated by Great Xia; some were annihilated, others surrendered."

"It can be said that the entire Hundred Dynasty Land is practically becoming a one-man show of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty."

"And the main reason for all of this is that the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty has an Undying Realm expert."

"Therefore, if you go alone, trying to kill Chu Yun would simply be suicide." The first Elf Clan man to speak revealed this to Feng Peihang.

"What?!"

"The Great Xia Imperial Dynasty has an Undying Realm?!"

"How is this possible?"

Feng Peihang felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

The Hundred Dynasty Land was not the Holy Land; even if those Imperial Dynasties were given another thousand years, they couldn't possibly produce an Undying Realm expert from their accumulated heritage.

"Do you think we need to lie to you?"

"The source of this news is Misty Rain Tower."

"Whether you believe it or not is naturally up to you." The Elf Clan man added.

Upon hearing this, Feng Peihang immediately fell into deep thought, his face filled with shock.

If the Elf Clan bought the news from Misty Rain Tower, then it was indeed not surprising.

Moreover, he thought it over carefully; the Elf Clan and their Phoenix Clan had no conflict, so there was no need for them to lie to him.

"Please enlighten us, what do you wish for us to do this time?"

After pondering for a moment, Feng Peihang asked with a serious expression.

The Elf Clan man in the middle smiled; this Feng Peihang was quite intelligent.

He immediately said, "It's very simple."

"We are pursuing a traitor from our clan; she fled to the Hundred Dynasty Land."

"Your Phoenix Clan is best at tracking and hunting. I have a strand of her hair here, and we need you to activate your Phoenix Clan's secret art to help us find her."

"After the matter is done, we will help you deal with the Undying Realm expert of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty. By then, taking the life of the Great Xia Chu Emperor will be effortless."

Upon hearing this, Feng Peihang realized they wanted to cooperate, and his eyes immediately showed a hint of pride.

Their Phoenix Clan's most boasted skill was their tracking art.

As long as they had a piece of clothing the person had worn, or something they had used, or even any part of their body, the Phoenix Clan could use their racial secret art to track them.

"Good!"

"No problem."

"Give me her hair." Feng Peihang confidently agreed.

Immediately, the Elf Clan man handed a strand of golden long hair to Feng Peihang.

"Phoenix Cry Tracking!!"

After receiving it, Feng Peihang immediately performed the Phoenix Clan's Bloodline secret art. The Phoenix tail mark on his glabella glowed as Saint power was released.

He formed hand Seals with the golden hair, melting it into his palm.

The next moment, a red dot and a Phoenix mark appeared on Feng Peihang's palm.

The two marks were separated by a considerable distance. The Phoenix mark represented their current location.

As for the red dot, it was the location of the golden hair's owner!

"She is within the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty!!"

"She's even... almost reaching the Imperial City!" Feng Peihang exclaimed in shock.

Hearing this, the four Elf Clan men immediately looked at his palm, their expressions all showing a smile.

"What a coincidence."

"Since that's the case, let's just resolve it all at once."

"Let's go, to Great Xia!!"

The four Undying Realm Elf Clan men immediately tore open space and, along with the thirty Saints led by Feng Peihang, rushed towards the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty.

...

Great Xia Imperial City.

The young Elf Clan woman, carrying the injured old woman, finally managed to enter the Imperial City after much hardship.

However, because her Elf Clan identity was too striking, she cast a spell to change their appearances, making them look like ordinary Human Race members.

Nevertheless, her dazzling golden long hair still attracted many Look Back glances within the city.

At the same time, in an inn.

Sixth Master lay on the bed, a book unfinished and covering his face, snoring continuously.

A Niu was even more comical; his ox body sat on another bed, pulling out a curved knife to trim his hooves, dead skin falling off piece by piece, which was extremely comfortable and stress-relieving for him.

"Hmm?"

"Elf Clan aura!"

At this moment, A Niu sniffed, detecting two unusual auras in the city. His spiritual sense instantly covered the entire Great Xia Imperial City, immediately locking onto the old and young Elf Clan members.

"One heavily injured Undying Realm Elf Clan member, and the other... less than thirty years old, with Saint King Realm cultivation."

"Why do these old and young ones seem like they are fleeing?"

A Niu sat on the bed, pondering curiously.

Just then, Sixth Master's snoring stopped, and he spoke, "Things are not peaceful within the Elf Clan; many have died recently."

"This young girl should be the Elf Clan maiden, Afuya, whose Bloodline experienced an atavism."

"It seems she has been pursued all the way from Divine Continent Pure Land to here."

A Niu's eyes suddenly turned to the awakened Sixth Master, "Bloodline Atavism!!"

"My goodness, what are those Elf Clan Great Emperors thinking? Such a level should be cherished as a treasure, yet they are chasing her instead?"

Sixth Master said calmly, "Greed is a habit common to all sentient beings of all races."

"Even Great Emperors are no exception."

"This young girl's Bloodline atavism is naturally a treasure to those Elf Clan Great Emperors."

"However, her precious value lies in why she was able to experience Bloodline atavism."

"If they could discover the reason for her Bloodline atavism and replicate it, then the Elf Clan might become the Yuan Realm's foremost race, or even the Yuan Realm's master."

"Precisely because those Elf Clan Great Emperors harbor such thoughts, this Afuya's Bloodline atavism has become a disaster for her."

"It destines her to be nothing more than a sacrifice for the Elf Clan's high-ranking officials to research the truth of Bloodline atavism."

Listening to this, A Niu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Then her fate is truly tragic."

"Sixth Master, should we intervene?"

Sixth Master closed his eyes again and shook his head, "Thatched Cottage advocates following the Dao of nature."

"Besides, this is an internal matter of their Elf Clan; it's even more inappropriate for outsiders to interfere."

Hearing this, A Niu felt a slight regret, then stopped bothering with it and resumed trimming his ox hooves.

...

Inside the city, Afuya, carrying the heavily injured Min Popo, arrived at Misty Rain Tower.

A Misty Rain Tower Disciple immediately came forward and asked, "Esteemed guest, how may I help you?"

Afuya's voice was heavy as she said, "I'm looking for your Chief Steward, Xu Nian."

...

In a reception room at Misty Rain Tower.

Min Popo and Afuya were both seated in chairs. Soon, Xu Nian's figure pushed the door open and entered.

The moment he saw Afuya, he decisively closed the door and, with a wave of his hand, set up a layer of isolation Seal.

Afterward, Xu Nian looked at Afuya, his expression solemn as he showed a hint of apology, saying, "I've heard about what happened within your Elf Clan."

"The matter is too far-reaching, and it's an internal affair of your clan. Regarding your parents, I am powerless."

"I'm sorry, Afuya."
