129: Feng Xihe, the Grand Elder made a move

An uninvited guest arrived at Lingxiao Sect.

It was Feng Xihe, who came from Zhongzhou.

Feng Xihe waved her hand, and a terrifying magical power broke through the Lingxiao Sect's Barrier.

The Barrier being forcibly broken alarmed Sect Master.

Sect Master instantly appeared and blocked Feng Xihe. He looked solemnly at the extraordinary woman in front of him. With his Dharma Image Peak Realm Cultivation Level, he couldn't see through her Cultivation Level, knowing that her Cultivation Level was far above his.

"I am Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, Sect Master. May I ask why you forcibly intrude upon my Lingxiao Sect?"

"I'm here to find your Lingxiao Sect's Saintess. Tell her to come out and see me."

"Has our Saintess offended you in any way? If so, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Sect Master knew this woman meant trouble, and he would never hand Ji Yao over to her.

Seeing Sect Master's extreme wariness, Feng Xihe didn't want to escalate the situation. "No need to be nervous. I'm not here to cause her trouble. I am a member of the ancient Phoenix Family from Zhongzhou. I learned that your Saintess is a lost member of my Phoenix Family, and I've come to take her back to the Phoenix Family."

Phoenix Family.

Sect Master was greatly shocked.

That was one of the most ancient Families, one that had produced Great Emperors.

What shocked him even more was that Ji Yao was a Phoenix Family descendant.

Ji Yao was the future of Lingxiao Sect; how could he let this woman take Ji Yao away?

"Whether Ji Yao is a Phoenix Family descendant is still unknown. She is our Saintess, bearing the future of our Sect. Even if she is a Phoenix Family descendant, I cannot let you take her away."

"That's not up to you."

Feng Xihe struck with a palm. Sect Master resisted with his Startling Thunder Finger. The overbearing and unparalleled thunder was vulnerable before this palm and was shattered. Sect Master was sent flying by the palm, injured, and vomited blood.

The seven peak masters gathered.

"Sect Master."

"This person wants to take Ji Yao. We must not let her take her away."

The eight of them jointly attacked Feng Xihe.

"Stop!"

Avicissitudes voice came.

The eight immediately stopped.

Three old men appeared.

Sect Master and the others quickly bowed, "Greetings to the three Grand Elders."

The three old men were all Nirvana Realm Great Experts, the foundation of Lingxiao Sect.

Facing the three Great Experts, Feng Xihe showed no fear, her expression cold and arrogant. "You three old fellows, come at me together!"

Sect Master said, "Reporting to the three Grand Elders, this person intends to take our Saintess. We absolutely cannot let her take the Saintess away."

The Great Grand Elder, Yue Yunshan, who had the highest Cultivation Level, gazed deeply at Feng Xihe. "I will fight you. If I lose, you may take her. If I win by even a move or two, then you must leave on your own."

As a Phoenix Family Prodigy, how could Feng Xihe fear a Great Expert whose Lifespan was nearing its end? She readily agreed, "Good, I accept."

Yue Yunshan disappeared instantly.

Feng Xihe followed him.

The two arrived ten thousand miles away, standing in the ten-thousand-zhang Void Realm.

Yue Yunshan burned his Origin. His originally aged face rapidly reverted to his youthful appearance, his silver hair turned black, and his aura surged.

In an instant, Yue Yunshan returned to his peak state.

Seeing this, Feng Xihe was shocked. "You're even willing to sacrifice your life to win."

Yue Yunshan said, "Just an old life, not many years left to live. The Saintess is the hope of my Lingxiao Sect. Even if I have to risk this old life, I must keep her here."

A sword appeared in his hand, its blade flickering with thunder.

This sword was a High Grade Spiritual Artifact forged from thousand-year thunder-struck wood.

"Old friend, after a thousand years of dormancy, we can fight side by side again."

Yue Yunshan swung his sword, and ten thousand streaks of thunder tore through space, attacking Feng Xihe.

Feng Xihe blocked the thunder with Nirvana Divine Fire.

Although she only had Nirvana Late Stage Realm Cultivation Level, one Realm lower than Yue Yunshan, her strength was comparable to the Nirvana Peak Realm.

The Nirvana Divine Fire transformed into a Fire Phoenix and attacked Yue Yunshan.

Yue Yunshan swung his sword, destroying the Fire Phoenix.

The destroyed Fire Phoenix instantly reassembled, as if a Phoenix had undergone Nirvana and Rebirth. The Phoenix attacked Yue Yunshan again. He quickly dodged, and the Fire Phoenix pursued him, attacking. Streaks of Nirvana Divine Fire incinerated towards him.

"Purple Firmament Divine Thunder."

A purple thunderbolt containing destructive power struck the Fire Phoenix, and the Fire Phoenix was destroyed by the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.

The Purple Firmament Divine Thunder struck towards Feng Xihe. She used the Divine Ability Spatial Teleportation and instantly disappeared. The Purple Firmament Divine Thunder struck a large mountain.

Boom!

The thousand-zhang mountain was instantly destroyed.

Feng Xihe appeared behind Yue Yunshan and attacked him with a palm.

Yue Yunshan turned and swung his sword, forcing Feng Xihe back with the Sword Qi.

"Nirvana Startling Thunder."

Yue Yunshan pointed his sword to the sky. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, and ten thousand streaks of thunder appeared in the Void Realm. The thunder transformed into swords, filling the Void Realm.

"Great Accomplishment Sword Intent."

Feng Xihe's expression tightened. She hadn't expected the opponent to have cultivated Great Accomplishment Sword Intent. She no longer held back and unleashed her peerless Divine Ability, Burning Heaven and Boiling Seas.

In an instant, overwhelming flames incinerated towards Yue Yunshan.

Yue Yunshan struck with a single sword, and ten thousand swords shot forth. The swords of thunder were submerged by the flames.

Ten thousand swords converged into one, and a thousand-zhang giant thunder sword slashed down. The sea of fire was split open by the sword. Feng Xihe pushed out with a palm, blocking the thunder sword.

The flames continued their momentum, incinerating towards Yue Yunshan, and he was engulfed by the sea of fire.

Feng Xihe was sent flying by the sword, her body struck by lightning. Blood spilled from her mouth, and her Primordial Spirit was injured by the Sword Intent.

Yue Yunshan broke through the sea of fire. His injuries were even more severe, and he aged rapidly, looking even older than before. Clearly, he was at the end of his rope.

"Great Grand Elder."

Sect Master and others arrived.

Seeing the Great Grand Elder in such a state, sorrow welled up in their hearts, knowing that the Great Grand Elder did not have long to live.

Yue Yunshan weakly said, "I lost. Let the Saintess go with her! Do not stop her again."

He knew that even if they used the entire Sect's strength, they couldn't contend with this woman. Forcibly keeping the Saintess would only invite disaster upon the Sect.

Sect Master sent a message to Ji Yao, who was in seclusion Cultivating, asking her to end her seclusion and come.

Ji Yao arrived.

Feng Xihe looked at Ji Yao, feeling the pure Phoenix Family Bloodline within her. Her expression was agitated. "Heavenly Secret Master is indeed infallible. You have indeed undergone Bloodline Awakening."

"Who are you?"

Ji Yao felt a familiar aura from the woman in front of her, but she had never seen her before.

Feng Xihe said, "My name is Feng Xihe, and I am from the Zhongzhou Phoenix Family."

Phoenix Family.

She is a Phoenix Family member.

Ji Yao was shocked. The Phoenix Family still had members.

No wonder she felt a familiar aura from her!

"I thought the Phoenix Family had been exterminated, and I was the only descendant left. I didn't expect there to be a Phoenix Family in Zhongzhou."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, a great calamity swept through the Nine Provinces. My Phoenix Family was indeed almost exterminated. To preserve the Bloodline, a branch was sent away from Zhongzhou. The Phoenix Family survived the calamity but lost track of the branch. After searching for tens of thousands of years, the Phoenix Family found the tianji token, which allowed them to ask Heavenly Secret Master to deduce your whereabouts. I'm here to take you back to the Phoenix Family."

Ji Yao fell silent. She didn't want to leave Lingxiao Sect, and even more, she didn't want to be separated from Yunfan.

"What if I don't want to go with you?"

"If you don't go, I will forcibly take you. You have no choice."

Feng Xihe's attitude was firm.

"You don't need to resist. Only by going to the Phoenix Family can you receive the Phoenix Family's cultivation. With the Phoenix Family's resources, your Cultivation will be faster. This is something your Sect cannot give you."

"I want to wait for my husband to return."

"You have a husband."

Feng Xihe's eyes turned cold. "You are a Phoenix Family member, and you've awakened the Phoenix Family Bloodline. You are absolutely not allowed to unite with an outsider. You must sever ties with him, otherwise, I will kill him and then take you away."

"You dare."

Ji Yao's face was cold. She would never allow anyone to harm Yunfan.

Feng Xihe said coldly, "To prevent the Phoenix Family Bloodline from flowing out, I can only do this. Your Cultivation Level is too weak now; you can't stop me."

Ji Yao clenched her jade hand. This was the second time in her life she felt powerless. The first time was when her Cultivation Level was crippled and she became a cripple. The second time was now, facing the powerful Feng Xihe, she was powerless to resist.

To prevent the other party from harming Yunfan, Ji Yao could only make a choice. "Okay, I'll go with you."
