Phoenix Destiny

Chapter 362: Far away

Even though Jiang Wan signed up for the debate, she wasn’t aiming for the prize, but she wanted to see who held control of Yun Jing right now.

The sea of cloud debate depicted a future trend. Whoever held a say in the sea of cloud debate would control the world.

~Things have really changed.~ The guards of the sea of clouds had been changed, and only a few familiar faces were left. ~The emperor has surely lost much power, and now he is struggling to keep the situation under control.~

This was a good thing for her. The messier the political situation was, the more people would forget about the past. She would be able to live her life happily without anyone finding out. However, she must leave Yun Jing soon. It might be peaceful currently, but after that, it would be a mess when the emperor lost all his power.

Jiang Wan was leaving when a light flew past her head and landed in front of her.

She blinked her eyes. ~ What’s going on? Where was that come from? There should be freezing spirit phase guards, and based on how fast the light was, they seem to be here to fight.~

Not after long, a few freezing spirit phase guards shot after the light.

“Who are you?” Such a coincidence, the middle-aged freezing spirit phase guard who came to get them was the one that took care of the king of beast matter six years ago. The freezing spirit fighter stopped in his tracks and blinked. ~Visuals that are out of this world and a flirtatious attitude, even more outstanding than the four princes back then, he also looks familiar somehow.~

The guy in front of him waved his hand and laughed. “I’m a participant.”

Before the freezing spirit guard could reply, he leaped up and disappeared into mid-air.

This made the freezing spirit guards jump and scramble after him. ~A weird guy suddenly appeared like this and messes with the guards? What on earth?~

The red light flash passed the freezing spirit guards in no time, as some of them tried their best to catch Xie Lianzhen.

They did not expect that instead of dodging, Xie Lianzhen counter-attacked instead.

“Crash——”

“Whoosh—-”

“Crack—–”

Their attacks were destroyed in no time.

“Oh no! Activate the spell formation, now!” Someone yelled.

As he ran to activate the spell formation, the middle-aged man suddenly realized something.

~ He was the Jiang’s family prince’s teammate!~ Just that he changed his outfit.

~ Didn’t they fall into the heart of clouds after being fatally injured by the emperor? I thought that they should have died? What the heck, he is now in the freezing spirit realm too?~

He was not the only one who was shocked, Jiang Wan, who stood not far away widened her eyes in surprise. She had spent quite some time with them, so even if Yan Wugui had changed into Xie Lianzhen, she could recognize them immediately.

Jiang Wan is conflicted. ~ He’s alive? So that means Miss Ji is alive too?~

“Where do you think you’re going, huh?” Xie Lianzhen waved his hands, and sparks flashed.

The freezing spirit guards moved backward to dodge, but a bright-colored sword light shot down from the sky, and landed right in front of them.

The sword light was so fast that the guards did not even have time to dodge. All of them had no choice but to take out their secret treasures to block the attack.

“Boom—–”

The commotion attracted other freezing spirit guards attention.

“Capture them!” Somebody yelled.

The few guards seated next to the spell formation took out their badges and started chanting.

Lu Mingshu looked over and turned her sword into a rainbow, slashing down ruthlessly.

“Boom—” The attack was so powerful that it broke their shield with one strike.

The first round had just started, and thus there were still many participants who were still here. Breaking a part of the spell formation caused a colossal energy wave surge, which sent the pure soul realm fighters to the floor, watching with fright.

~What on earth happened? Why are there trespassers?~

“Let’s go!” Lu Mingshu yelled.

If they wanted to leave in one piece, they had to defeat the guards, but beware of the emperor.

Time was the most important factor.

As they landed in front of the exit, the guard there grabbed some purity soul cultivators over desperately to try and block the both of them.

Xie Lianzhen sneered. To him, taking innocent lives was nothing. He launched some attacks to remove the human sandbags. ~Well, it’s not my problem if they die.~

As a light was about to land, Lu Mingshu abruptly released a sword light and grabbed its target to her.

Time was precious, so Xie Lianzhen pushed her and shouted. “now!”

One after another, the both of them stepped out of the exit, and a bright light shone. When it faded, the both of them could no longer be seen.

The guards stood rooted to the ground. In such a short time, Lu Mingshu and Xie Lianzhen managed to turn the whole sea of clouds into a huge mess.

“Report to the emperor!”

This woke the crowd up as they scrambled to get back to their assigned positions. At the same time, some hurriedly started reporting information upwards.

The supreme sacred imperial palace was located right outside the sea of clouds. They could feel the waves of energy coming towards them.

The both of them turned pale immediately.

~oh no, the emperor realized that we are here, he will arrive in no time~

Lu Mingshu had already decided that she would activate the heavenly wheel if she saw the emperor. Who cares if the accumulated points were lost, her life was way more important.

Suddenly, the portable stable started shaking.

An idea came into her head, and she shouted. “Little daze!”

The stable lit up, and a snow-white mythical pegasus appeared.

The pegasus hissed and displayed its snow-white wings.

“Let’s go!” She grabbed Xie Lianzhen, and both of them jumped onto little daze’s back as she took off.

“Look, a pegasus!” The crowd looked up to see a pegasus fly through the sky before quickly turning vanishing in the distance.

The emperor saw the light flashing past the top of his palace. He furrowed his eyebrows.

As he was about to chase after them, a ray of light appeared in front of him, and master Baoguang appeared, waving his feather fan while smiling cheerfully. “Greetings, your highness.”

The emperor stared at him for a moment.

He coughed and faked a smile. “I remember that Master Baoguang was in seclusion. So what brings you here now?”

Master Baoguang smiled. “I heard that something bad has happened so I’m here to check it out.”

“Just two kids, nothing much.”

“They are the alienators that you injured six years ago, right?” Master Baoguang laughed while fanning himself. “Your Highness, how are you planning to punish them?”

“Order their arrest.” The emperor shook his head. “It’s just a small matter, why waste so much effort?”

“Yes, your highness.” Master Baoguang stood up and bowed.

The emperor gritted his teeth and did not bother to deal with him. He left and went back into his palace.

When he felt strong energy waves from the spell formation, he knew that something was not right. Back then, the fight between him and the rebel chief revealed that he was seriously injured to Master Baoguang. He had been waiting for a chance to take the emperor down, so the emperor dared not act rashly. He thought that both kids should have died, but the energy waves he received brought another message. ~What did they do to my precious secret garden? And my secret treasure….~

The emperor wanted to go in and check, but Master Baoguang’s presence made him hold back.

~This son of a bitch, he is getting more arrogant as time passes, huh? He knows that if I cannot capture the person who disrupted the debate, the people’s trust in me will fall. Thus he came to stop me. Old bastard….~

After a few days, the emperor finally got a chance to visit his garden. The scene that welcomed him almost made him flip. But no matter how he tried to track them down, it was impossible because they had already left this world….
