Chapter 1022: Chapter 990: Golden Sparrow Clan? No, Simp Clan!
The moment the [Hua] appeared, it seemed as though the heavens and earth fell silent, and all living beings’ gazes were involuntarily drawn to her.
Even Xia Feng and Kikyo Ayame were no exception, their eyes fixed on the half-veiled face of the woman in the phoenix skirt, an inexplicable feeling of reverence and admiration rising in their hearts.
Xia Feng found himself suddenly having a bizarre desire to become Hua God’s bootlicker, as if the woman in the phoenix skirt merely pointed and told him to fetch a bone, he would comply eagerly, ready to offer his body and soul, even everything, to this woman whose mere presence could enthrall all living beings.
This outrageous thought flashed by briefly, then vanished without a trace.
Unlike Xia Feng,
On the ground, three thousand members of the Golden Sparrow Clan, even the Twelve Seated, looked up in awe, their hearts missing a beat, just seeing Mother’s half-veiled face made them tremble, extremely excited, with a desire to immediately follow Mother’s orders — even if told to bark like a dog, they’d willingly comply.
Yet in an instant, they realized the disrespect of looking directly at Mother, anxiety and trepidation made them quickly lower their heads, not daring to look any longer, fearing they might profane the God.
Even atop the twelve sacrificial pillars, Kovis, Ko Zelrek, Lei Chonghua, and even Mr Bai among the twelve were alarmed with fear, hurriedly changing from kneeling on one knee to bowing on both knees, trembling all over.
That wasn’t fear, but excitement.
They were excited and honored to kneel before the woman in the phoenix skirt.
Among them, even the Twelve Seated rarely got to see Mother, let alone witness her actual presence.
Normally, Mother wouldn’t appear for hundreds or even thousands of years, if needed, she would only roam the world using ‘Maiden Hezi’ as her temporary vessel.
Thus, witnessing Mother’s actual presence today was a supreme moment of honor for them!
“Mother.” They respectfully uttered, their voices solemnly resonating, shaking the heavens and earth.
The woman in the phoenix skirt lowered her head, the dignified rose-red divine eyes cast across the land, yet she didn’t look at the people on the ground, but directly at the center cloud platform, gazing directly at Xia Feng.
Xia Feng’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, his head raised slightly, meeting her gaze.
In that moment, the world fell into a strange, eerie silence, nobody spoke except…. the Fallen Maid in Xia Feng’s arms.
Ke Yanqing’s reddened dark eyes turned halfway under the upper lid, in her confused consciousness, she vaguely sensed that Mother…. was looking at her!!
Ke Yanqing: “!!!”
“…..”
“Hua Biao, the maid you sent isn’t up to standard.” Xia Feng was the first to break the silence, casually giving Hua God a nickname, his manner relaxed and indifferent, “Actually, I’m more interested in Hezi, why don’t you send her instead?”
Ke Yanqing: “?!!”
Xia Feng’s voice was not hidden at all, deliberately carrying out into the world, sounding across the entirety of heaven and earth.
This instantly ignited the fury of the Golden Sparrow Clan.
Hua…. what?! All more than three thousand respectful and prostrated figures on the ground suddenly raised their heads, their eyes aflame with a desire to devour him.
“Truly seeking death.” Lei Chonghua’s expression was somber, coldly staring at the center cloud platform.
Alongside him, Mr Bai’s cold eyes narrowed slightly. He had just learned from Hezi that Mother seemed to have made a deal with Calamity and didn’t intend to execute this outlaw after the Star Devouring Ceremony.
But before handing this outlaw to Calamity, the Golden Sparrow Clan still had ample time and methods to torment him, destroying his mind would be effortless.
Ko Zelrek and Kovis of the the Ke Family were particularly skilled in this regard.
Kovis’s house had many instruments of torture, he greatly loved and excelled in tormenting people, one of his few darker hobbies.
But now, aside from the anger and killing intent towards Xia Feng for verbally insulting Mother, Kovis was slightly puzzled.
Why did Xia Feng say Sister Qing was inadequate, and wanted to replace her with Lord Hezi?
Inadequate in what way?
Sister Qing is versatile and undoubtedly a genius, there’s no way she could be inadequate! Kovis smiled derisively in his heart, it seemed this scum bearing the surname Xia was merely being obstinate, likely already tormented to death by Sister Qing!
Sound——!
Divine Pressure of terror, the divine eyes of the woman in the phoenix skirt shifted, finally gazing at the people on the ground, a look like ten thousand pounds, bearing down onto them.
That gaze held not a shred of emotion, shockingly calm.
Yet everyone understood the command in it, instructing them not to be angry, swiftly completing the Star Devouring Ceremony was what they should be doing now.
Mother finally issued a command to them, even if with just a gaze, more than three thousand members of the Golden Sparrow Clan were instantly excited and, ignoring the ignorant mouse bearing the Xia surname, worked as if they were on galvanizing steroids, efficiency more than doubled, frantically accelerating the Star Devouring Ceremony.
Xia Feng saw this, his eye subtly twitched, no wonder the Golden Finch Clan, despite absorbing hundreds or thousands of clans, seemed free of major discord, a united front against outsiders.
Turns out they’ve been enchanted by Hua Biao.
This Hua Biao…. does she truly possess such great charm?
Thinking back to the moment he first saw Hua Biao’s actual form, that fleeting outrageous thought, he found it strangely reasonable.
Hong Li and Hua Biao look identical, sometimes a glance at Hong Li stirred his blood, but mostly…. as a biological desire, devoid of much reverence.
But looking at Hua Biao was different, the biological desire vanished, replaced by a willing psychological submission, quite peculiar.
Still, that desire to become Hua God’s loyal servant seemed not to affect him, whether it was due to the Evil Demon Heart, or his Disaster Contract with Yue Hongli.
The woman in the phoenix skirt paid little mind to Xia Feng, her figure somehow already behind Jin Xiangfeng and Hezi.
The two maids were bowing on the ground, a voice of Saint Hongmo echoing behind: “Rise.”
The two women quickly stood up, turning respectfully: “Mother, the Summoning Tree is complete, but the Star Devouring Ceremony needs about ten more minutes.”
Under the fox-like facade of the woman in the phoenix skirt, the rose-red divine eyes gazed at Jin Xiangfeng: “Was the Summoning test conducted?”
The elderly woman draped in a scarlet divine robe solemnly replied: “It was verified twice, confirming the space-time points within the Sparrow God Mountain’s range, only the aura on Xia Feng bears two space-time imprints of Dragon God’s aura. According to the aura comparison with the ‘Apocalypse Fragment’, the imprints indeed hold the aura of Apocalypse, highly likely leading to the Apocalypse Temple’s Sacred Seal.”
The woman in the phoenix skirt nodded slightly, this was within her expectation.
During this year, she always investigated Xia Feng’s possible hidden identity and trace of actions, discovering he had encountered the Apocalypse Knight Order several times.
Xia Feng had contracted Yue Hongli, once the Tianwu Empress awakens, she would definitely notice Xia Feng.
From the looks of it, not only did Tianwu Empress notice, she seemed to value Xia Feng immensely, directly granting Xia Feng two Sacred Seals leading to the Apocalypse Temple.
Understandably, Yue Hongli was a crucial means to counter Hua God, Tianwu Empress would surely hold this firmly within her grasp.
