Chapter 908, The Thwarted Envoy

Translator: Silavin

 

“Feng Qianxue!” The Sacred Martial City Envoy’s gaze fell directly upon this maiden who seemed almost unknown to everyone.

 

Not many knew about Feng Qianxue’s situation, only the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master, Elder Hua, and Dan Xuanzi.

 

Therefore, seeing the Sacred Martial City Envoy notice Feng Qianxue, both Yu Qianqiu and Dan Xuanzi cried out inwardly in alarm.

 

Instantly, Yu Qianqiu looked somewhat reproachfully at Dan Xuanzi.

 

Dan Xuanzi’s lips curved in a bitter smile. [How could I have thought of so many steps ahead?]

 

At the time, he had been too concerned about Qin Yichen and had not thought of this.

 

Watching the Sacred Martial City Envoy walk toward her, Feng Qianxue hastily hid behind Qin Yichen like a startled rabbit.

 

“Uh…” The Sacred Martial City Envoy, who had originally wanted to say something, immediately found his lips twitching. His gaze could only turn toward Qin Yichen again.

 

With just one glance, he saw Feng Qianxue’s extraordinaryness.

 

Within her body, it was as if a torch was burning, like a lamp in the night, impossible not to notice.

 

However, he still could not confirm what Martial Soul Feng Qianxue possessed.

 

“Young Lady, I mean no harm.” The Sacred Martial City Envoy tried his utmost to appear benevolent, wearing a smile and speaking gently.

 

However, to Feng Qianxue’s ears, it sounded like a big bad wolf trying to deceive a little white rabbit. Her delicate body trembled as she hid even more tightly, as if fearing he might snatch her away.

 

The Sacred Martial City Envoy looked up at the sky, two metaphorical tears streaming down his face.

 

[Heaven, am I really that fierce and menacing!? Do I really look that much like a villain!?]

 

Yet precisely this cautious treatment made everyone in the great hall realize something unusual.

 

One must understand that this was an Envoy from Sacred Martial City! They could not fathom why this important figure would speak in such a humble manner.

 

Because even when facing their Sacred Master Yu Qianqiu, this Envoy had been rather haughty.

 

[[Something’s wrong!]]

 

After looking toward their Sacred Master, they discovered his expression was not pleasant.

 

“Qianxue, come out and pay respects to the Envoy.” Qin Yichen smiled gently, pulling Feng Qianxue out from behind him.

 

He knew this Sacred Martial City Envoy would certainly see through some details.

 

Moreover, his purpose in bringing Feng Qianxue here was precisely to have this Sacred Martial City Envoy notice her!

 

Even now, he did not know exactly who had moved against Feng Qianxue.

 

Enemies in the shadows were the most terrifying!

 

Qin Yichen also understood that with his current strength, he still lacked the power to protect Feng Qianxue. Therefore, he could only have more people pay attention to Feng Qianxue, thus preventing that person in the shadows from acting rashly.

 

After Feng Qianxue stepped forward, the great hall fell silent. Everyone’s attention concentrated on this exquisitely beautiful maiden.

 

Though Feng Qianxue had been in Brilliant Sky Sacred Land for quite some time, under Yu Qianqiu’s intentional concealment, no one had noticed her.

 

This was her first time standing before Brilliant Sky’s assembled upper echelons.

 

Even with Qin Yichen holding her hand, she still appeared somewhat restless, clinging tightly to Qin Yichen’s side, not even daring to raise her head.

 

“This is…” Divine light gleamed in the Sacred Martial City Envoy’s eyes. With just one glance, shock appeared on his face.

 

“A True Phoenix Martial Soul!”

 

The Human Race spoke of how auspicious Dragons and Phoenixes were. The Dragon and the Phoenix were thus the two strongest Divine Beasts in the world.

 

Moreover, rumour had it that the combination of True Dragon and True Phoenix had created the Human Race.

 

Of course, this was merely rumour, impossible to verify. Moreover, no one on the continent believed the Human Race could be descendants of a True Dragon and a True Phoenix.

 

Because the Human Race was too weak!

 

Whether Dragon or Phoenix, they were both Transcendent existences. How could their descendants possibly be so feeble?

 

This made no sense.

 

At this moment, the Sacred Martial City Envoy saw a Phoenix-like phantom within Feng Qianxue.

 

A True Phoenix Martial Soul was no ordinary Fire Attribute Martial Soul.

 

Powerful Fire Attribute Martial Souls did exist in this world. According to legend, the Human Race had once produced a powerful expert possessing a Heavenly Flame Martial Soul. Its Heavenly Flame could incinerate everything, and numerous experts from Foreign Races would try to avoid him in battle.

 

However, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Flame Martial Soul was, it was still just a Martial Soul based on an innominate object.

 

The fire within Feng Qianxue’s body was different. Within those swirling flames, a Phoenix Manifestation appeared, which was the easiest way to distinguish it from any other. It was absolutely impossible to falsify.

 

Therefore, the Sacred Martial City Envoy saw through it at a glance.

 

It even contained Phoenix Prestige within it!

 

How terrifying Phoenix Prestige was, the Sacred Martial City Envoy had personally witnessed it.

 

It could even be described as a power to crush everything!

 

Before Phoenix Prestige, probably only True Dragons could avoid bowing their heads!

 

However, True Dragons were too ethereal, existing only in legends. Even across hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, one might not appear.

 

Therefore, in this world, Phoenix Martial Souls were one of the supreme Martial Souls.

 

Those capable of contending with an expert with a Phoenix Martial Soul were only those with unparalleled Divine Physiques, or born with Sacred Physiques or better!

 

Just imagine, once such a person grew strong, what a terrifying existence they would become!?

 

“Sacred Master Yu, you’ve hidden things quite deeply indeed!” After taking a deep breath, the Sacred Martial City Envoy addressed Yu Qianqiu.

 

[This old fox!] Throughout his journey here, under the Radiance Sacred Land’s Hall Master’s guidance, he had thoroughly investigated Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. It could be said that externally, whether in prestige or strength, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land was completely suppressed by Sky Cliff Pavilion, making him feel that Sky Cliff Pavilion replacing Brilliant Sky Sacred Land was practically inevitable.

 

He had not expected Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to hide things so deeply!

 

A Heavenly Martial Artist!

 

Now, someone with a True Phoenix Martial Soul has emerged!

 

Either of these, thrown out independently, would be sufficient to crush Sky Cliff Pavilion, even other Sacred Lands. How could they possibly have their prestige suppressed by Sky Cliff Pavilion?

 

Yu Qianqiu smiled bitterly, remaining silent.

 

[Hidden deeply? Weren’t you the one who discovered it anyway!?] He couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

 

Being valued by Sacred Martial City was absolutely beneficial for Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. However, if either Qin Yichen or Feng Qianxue were taken away, that would be a loss outweighing the gain.

 

A fully developed Heavenly Martial Artist, a fully developed expert with a True Phoenix Martial Soul!

 

With these two, who could oppose Brilliant Sky!?

 

Who could contend with Brilliant Sky!?

 

“Young Lady…” The Sacred Martial City Envoy withdrew his gaze, once again looking toward Feng Qianxue. However, the moment he began speaking, Feng Qianxue once again hid behind Qin Yichen.

 

Watching his bewildered expression, everyone in the great hall felt immensely gratified.

 

Being able to see this lofty Sacred Martial City Envoy thwarted was extremely rare.

 

Moreover, looking at this situation, he had no way to take Feng Qianxue away!

 

That girl simply was not willing!

 

“Sacred Master Yu, I’ve suddenly remembered. I don’t actually have any urgent matters. Therefore, I’ll stay in your Brilliant Sky for a few more days…” However, the Envoy’s next statement made Yu Qianqiu’s smile, which had just appeared, immediately freeze.
