Chapter 1579: Chapter 1578: Bright Moon in Trouble
"You don’t believe lies, you don’t believe the truth either, really hard to please."
Feng Wuchen shook his head helplessly and said, "I’ll keep your Storage Ring safe for you, no need to thank me."
"Brother Feng, aren’t you afraid of offending the Ximen Family by killing him?" Ling Xiaoxiao flew over and asked worriedly.
"He came seeking death himself, can’t blame me. Besides, the Dragon God Clan has never feared the Ximen Family. Moreover, it’s the beast that wanted to assassinate me. It’s already good that I haven’t settled the score with them, so don’t worry." Feng Wuchen shrugged and smiled while checking Ximen Qinshou’s Storage Ring.
"Brother Feng, what is this Ximen Family?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously, having never heard of it before.
"The Ximen Family is an ancient family in the Heavenly Realm, along with the Helian Family. Both families are equally powerful and rarely engage in activities in the Heavenly Realm. This guy really has some treasures, quite a haul." Feng Wuchen laughed as he unabashedly cleaned out the treasures from Ximen Qinshou’s Storage Ring.
"Our greatest enemy is the Tianzun Divine Palace. With Tianzun not yet eliminated, aren’t you afraid the Ximen Family might ally with the Tianzun Divine Palace?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked.
"When soldiers come, use a general to stop them; when water comes, use earth to contain it." Feng Wuchen smiled mysteriously.
To Feng Wuchen, the Ximen Family posed no threat at all.
Seeing Feng Wuchen completely unworried, Ling Xiaoxiao sighed lightly and shook her head, but she was filled with a strong sense of security.
No matter when or what danger arises, as long as Feng Wuchen is there, it seems that the biggest issues can be resolved.
"In the future, using Otherworldly Calamity Soul Fruit and Millennium Ice Soul for training, you’ll soon break through to the Second and Third Layer Heavens. Once Qingyang and the others enter the Tiandi Realm, they can transition to the Great Heavenly Emperor Realm using the Reincarnation Burning Heaven Pill. By then, our Dragon God Palace’s strength will greatly enhance." Feng Wuchen said happily with a smile.
"Brother Feng, with your current combat power, you should be able to contend with the Seventh Layer, right?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked.
Feng Wuchen confidently said, "Beating a Seventh Heavenly Emperor powerhouse shouldn’t be a problem."
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, your cultivation has improved so fast that you might not be accustomed to the power, and your realm hasn’t been stabilized yet. Let me spar with you; it will help you quickly adapt and greatly assist in solidifying your cultivation." Feng Wuchen said with a gentle smile.
"Alright, it’s been a long time since I’ve sparred with Brother Feng. Be careful, I won’t hold back, okay?" Ling Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly.
The power of the First Heaven Heavenly Emperor exploded fully, dazzling golden light shot straight into the sky, and the violent Divine Power gushed like a flood, its momentum overwhelming, the void rolling like angry waves.
Even though Ling Xiaoxiao just stepped into the First Heaven Heavenly Emperor, this immensely violent aura already reached the Second Layer God Emperor level.
Because Ling Xiaoxiao belongs to the Rakshasa Divine Clan and has her own bloodline power, her combat strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"The bloodline of the Rakshasa Divine Clan is not weaker than the Dragon God Clan, go all out, Xiaoxiao." Feng Wuchen said with a smile.
"Alright! Brother Feng, I’m going to attack!" Ling Xiaoxiao lightly tapped her foot on the ground, her figure shot out like lightning, arriving in an instant.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two began intense combat, with Feng Wuchen constantly guiding Ling Xiaoxiao, helping her adapt to the Great Heavenly Emperor’s strength. A series of blasts echoed, the ripples of their colliding energies rolled repeatedly, and the surrounding mountains shook violently.
...
Ximen Family.
The great hall was filled with heavy anger and intense killing intent, making it almost hard to breathe.
"Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?" Ximen Xuanzi asked with a calm face, his fury ready to erupt at any moment.
The chilling killing intent enveloped the entire hall, causing everyone to shudder in terror.
Ximen Xuanzi, a Ninth Heavenly Emperor, was the strongest presence in the Ximen Family.
"The one who killed Ximen Qinshou must be strong; at least a Sixth Layer Heavenly Emperor," Ximen Qing said coldly, "No matter who, whoever dares to kill my Ximen Family’s member must die!"
"Yun Chong, do you know where Qinshou went?" Ximen Xuanzi asked in a deep voice.
"Family Head, before Qinshou left, he said he wanted to clarify the Storage Ring situation, he wanted to prove his innocence." Ximen Yunchong reported respectfully.
"Fool!" Ximen Xuanzi roared in anger.
With Ximen Yunchong’s words, everyone guessed that Ximen Qinshou had gone to find Feng Wuchen.
And naturally, Ximen Qinshou’s death was related to Feng Wuchen.
"So Qinshou died at the hands of a Dragon God Clan expert." Ximen Fanjian frowned and said.
Ximen Qing said coldly, "Undoubtedly, Qinshou discovered something, hence he was silenced by a Dragon God Clan expert. This also means the Storage Ring was switched by Wind Shadow."
"If it was switched by Wind Shadow, then why would the Heavenly Dao Life Chart be given to us? Does Wind Shadow not know its value? The Dragon God Clan’s strength surpasses ours. Without evidence, we should not jump to conclusions to avoid trouble. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated." The Great Elder Ximen Changkong said solemnly.
"The Great Elder is right." The other elders nodded in agreement.
"Fanjian, Ruhua, you investigate secretly, do not alert anyone, and find out who killed Qinshou!" Ximen Xuanzi said in a deep voice. Judging from Ximen Xuanzi’s expression, he didn’t seem ready to let the matter rest.
"Yes! Family Head!" The two responded respectfully.
...
Dragon God Palace.
Tianming hastily flew in, rushing into the great hall, his face full of anxiety and worry, as if something serious had happened.
"Brother Tianming, what’s got you so anxious?" Feng Wuchen asked with a gentle smile.
"Bright Moon is in trouble, how could I not be anxious?" Tianming said anxiously.
"Bright Moon?" Feng Wuchen frowned slightly. For Bright Moon, who once fought alongside him, an assassin cold as frost, Feng Wuchen had a certain fondness, and his heart couldn’t help but worry.
Feng Wuchen asked, "What happened?"
Tianming anxiously said, "Seven days ago, Bright Moon went on a mission and hasn’t returned. We sent people to investigate but haven’t found any information. What worries me the most is that there’s no response from his rune message."
"According to Tianying Pavilion’s rules, tasks must be reported within three days. Since he hasn’t returned, something must have happened." Feng Wuchen frowned slightly.
"Where did Bright Moon go for the mission?" Feng Wuchen asked.
Tianming said solemnly, "Bright Moon has already reached the mid-stage Heavenly Deity Realm, so he could take missions in other regions. This time, he went to the Immortal Realm to eliminate Phoenix Sky Palace. But when I went to Phoenix Sky Palace, I found no traces of battle, and with Bright Moon’s strength, there shouldn’t be any danger in eliminating Phoenix Sky Palace."
"No traces of battle? So the mission wasn’t executed, and something happened to Bright Moon." Feng Wuchen speculated.
"Exactly, that’s what we think too. Lord Tian Kui and Zhufeng have already gone to the Immortal Realm. The Pavilion Master is concerned about changes, so he sent me to find you to come with us." Tianming said.
"Phoenix Sky Palace is not far from Zi Xian Pavilion, and Zi Xian Pavilion is well-informed. Getting their help might reveal something." Feng Wuchen said without hesitation, and the two immediately headed to the Immortal Realm.
