Chapter 1013, Complete Suppression

Translator: Silavin

 

The might of Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was beyond question!

 

Though low-key, even forgotten, none dared provoke them.

 

Therefore, at this moment, seeing an expert from Nine Heavens Flaming Sea appear, no one could maintain calm composure.

 

Moreover, this powerhouse was actually from the Overlord of the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea, the Phoenix Clan!

 

Everyone was baffled, unable to comprehend why such a great figure standing at the continent’s apex would appear here.

 

“Our Clan’s Phoenix Spirit sensed Phoenix Clan aura in this region, so we have come to impose upon you!”

 

Even facing Saints Heavenly Manor’s Grand Elder, this Phoenix Clan expert remained neither servile nor overbearing, merely cupping his hands slightly in acknowledgment toward the Grand Elder.

 

“Please, enter!” The Grand Elder spoke, inviting this Phoenix Clan expert into Saints Heavenly Manor.

 

The Phoenix Clan expert hesitated briefly before entering Saints Heavenly Manor.

 

Although a rumour had always circulated across the continent that Nine Heavens Flaming Sea assisted the Human Race in establishing themselves, in reality, Nine Heavens Flaming Sea maintained no relations with any Race on the continent.

 

If this Phoenix Clan expert entered the Human Race’s core, which was Saints Heavenly Manor, it would inevitably invite outside speculation. They would wonder if Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was growing close to the Human Race?

 

The Phoenix Clan expert naturally understood this point.

 

However, Phoenix Spirit had issued a mandate. Even if it invited suspicion, he could not afford to consider such matters.

 

Before long, this Phoenix Clan expert emerged from the great hall. He hovered before Saints Heavenly Manor, a scorching aura spreading magnificently from his body, cascading down like a waterfall, enveloping nearly half of Saints Heavenly City.

 

“So powerful!”

 

Many cried out in alarm. Just how strong was this Phoenix Clan expert? They could scarcely imagine.

 

However, this scorching aura seemed to bear them no ill-will. It flowed through the crowd like lake water, apparently searching for something…

 

*Caw!* Suddenly, a cry rang out from beneath Saints Heavenly Manor. Then everyone saw a crimson Phoenix manifestation soar into the sky, spreading its wings in a long call.

 

It fully displayed the dominance of the overlord of fire, the pride of the sovereign of all birds, giving people an impulse to prostrate themselves in worship.

 

“It’s the Phoenix Martial Soul!”

 

Everyone looked in the same direction.

 

There, Feng Qianxue’s delicate face bore traces of panic and confusion.

 

Clearly, she had not actively used her True Phoenix Martial Soul. Rather, this Martial Soul had sensed something and been drawn forth.

 

“Older Brother Yichen!” She looked toward Qin Yichen, discovering his expression was equally grave.

 

Qin Yichen gripped her hand tightly. Even though his palm had already been scorched by the searing heat emanating from the True Phoenix Martial Soul, he seemed oblivious to it. His gaze fixed upon the Phoenix Clan expert suspended in mid-air!

 

An ominous premonition rose within his heart.

 

Simultaneously, he understood clearly what Feng Qianxue’s Martial Soul meant to the Phoenix Clan of Nine Heavens Flaming Sea.

 

Perhaps ordinary people merely thought Feng Qianxue possessed a Phoenix Martial Soul. But Qin Yichen knew very clearly that what Feng Qianxue possessed was not some Phoenix Martial Soul, but… a True Phoenix Martial Soul!

 

That was a Martial Soul reforged from an actual Phoenix Egg!

 

That was a True Phoenix!

 

Then, under everyone’s gaze, that Phoenix Clan expert walked step by step toward Feng Qianxue’s location.

 

“Could it be that this Phoenix Clan expert intends to take her away!?”

 

Everyone’s hearts trembled as they looked toward Saints Heavenly Manor’s direction. But what left them stunned was that Saints Heavenly Manor seemingly had no reaction to this, instead allowing this situation to unfold.

 

The reason remained unknown to the crowd.

 

However, at this moment, it seemed the Phoenix Martial Soul’s departure had become inevitable.

 

Seeing the Phoenix Clan expert descending from the sky step by step, Qin Yichen moved Feng Qianxue behind himself protectively.

 

*Sii…* This action immediately caused everyone around to involuntarily draw sharp breaths.

 

“Are you seeking death!?”

 

Mu Yanfeng, Xuan Mingge, and others wore anxious expressions. They never imagined Qin Yichen would make such a move.

 

One must understand, Qin Yichen’s current action could already be viewed as… provocation!

 

Provoking someone from the Phoenix Clan!

 

Everyone thought Qin Yichen had gone mad!

 

Yet at this moment, Qin Yichen’s expression remained utterly resolute, without the slightest trace of fear.

 

The Phoenix Clan was powerful!

 

But at this moment, he could not retreat!

 

He had no choice!

 

However, even this action did not make the Phoenix Clan expert halt his steps. He slowly descended, and after standing on the ground, only then did his gaze shift from Feng Qianxue to Qin Yichen.

 

“Move!” Though this Phoenix Clan expert’s body radiated an incomparably scorching aura, his voice made people feel cold. It felt cold to the depths of their Soul.

 

In his eyes, this Human Race youth was merely an ant. A single finger could crush him to death.

 

However, this was still the Human Race’s territory!

 

Moreover, it was beneath Humanity’s Saints Heavenly Manor.

 

Killing members of the Human Race here was clearly unwise.

 

Furthermore, he had actually negotiated certain conditions with the Grand Elder. Otherwise, how could he so easily take away the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul?

 

The Human Race was not foolish.

 

One possessing such a Martial Soul, once matured, would absolutely become a colossal existence!

 

Clearly, the conditions he offered were not trivial either.

 

The reason naturally lay with Feng Qianxue.

 

Those possessing a Phoenix Martial Soul had appeared before, but one capable of triggering a Phoenix Spirit to act… this was a first!

 

Therefore, Nine Heavens Flaming Sea would spare no cost to bring Feng Qianxue back.

 

However, Qin Yichen did not speak, responding with silent confrontation.

 

*Hmph!* The Phoenix Clan expert snorted coldly. Behind him, a pair of enormous flaming wings actually grew. Simultaneously, a suffocating pressure spread from his body.

 

Qin Yichen bore the brunt. Under that pressure from the mist, forget moving, he felt even his blood had ceased flowing, his heartbeat about to stop.

 

“No!” Feng Qianxue cried out in alarm. From her body, that massive Phoenix Manifestation also called out toward the Phoenix Clan expert. “You mustn’t harm my Older Brother Yichen!”

 

“Unless you’re willing to leave with me!” The Phoenix Clan expert’s brows furrowed as he spoke. Clearly, the pressure also weakened.

 

*Huff… huff…* As the pressure diminished, Qin Yichen finally gained a chance to breathe. Yet he could not even move a finger. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Feng Qianxue, but could not produce a single word.

 

The disparity in strength was too great!

 

This Phoenix Clan expert was clearly at least a Saint!

 

Moreover, he likely was not even an ordinary Saint!

 

“I…” Feng Qianxue hesitated, looking at Qin Yichen, who appeared to be struggling with extreme difficulty. Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.

 

She did not want to leave!

 

She did not want to be separated from him!

 

But if she did not leave, would this person spare Qin Yichen?
