Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 413 - 414 Chapter 419 Phoenix Wind

414: Chapter 419 Phoenix Wind 414: Chapter 419 Phoenix Wind “Brother Ye, why did I hear people saying you’re familiar with the fairy from Miao Yu Temple?” Feng Lie asked.

Ye Fan glanced askance, saying, “Why do you ask about that?” “I’m just looking out for you.

My sister has high standards and might not pay you any mind even if your sacred body is initially acplished.

It’s best if no more rumors spread,” Feng Lie cautioned.

The last time, he had been ordered to test Ye Fan.

However, Ye Fan had been relentless, giving him a fierce beating and staging a hilarious farce of a brother-in-law thrashing his young brother-in-law.

Feng Lie had been livid and incredibly frustrated at the time, vowing to get even with Ye Fan.

But upon seeing Ye Fan successfully break through, his anger instantly vanished.

“Brother Ye, how can I meet Fairy Miao Yi?

Give me some advice; some friends and I want to see her,” Feng Lie whispered, afraid the elders might hear.

“No wonder you’re so interested,” Ye Fan glanced at him and said gravely, “Don’t go picking up bad habits at such a young age.

Stay away from places like that.” “You’re two years younger than me!” Feng Lie grumbled, feeling quite disdainful inwardly, though he didn’t dare show it.

“What are you muttering about?” Ye Fan glared at him.

“I meant I just want to broaden my horizons.

How about this, Brother Ye, you take us?

I swear I won’t tell my sister,” Feng Lie wheedled.

Ye Fan was truly speechless.

This impromptu little brother-in-law of his was quite a character.

He slapped him and said, “What nonsense are you spouting?” “It’s not like you haven’t been to that place.

Don’t act all righteous in front of me!” Feng Lie muttered his discontent in a voice barely audible.

Ye Fan was amused by him.

This fellow was truly unconventional, wanting to drag him to Miao Yu Temple.

If the Peacock King of the Wind Clan found out, he would surely break Feng Lie’s legs.

“Don’t worry, this isn’t a test or a trial this time.

I don’t want to get beaten up by you again.” “Go cool off somewhere else,” Ye Fan glared at him, then ignored him.

Now that his sacred body was initially acplished, countless eyes were watching him.

The slightest misstep could lead to a fatal disaster.

“You’re no fun!” Feng Lie huffed, flicking his sleeve as he left.

Ye Fan stroked his chin, wanting to laugh but finding he couldn’t.

Even if he wanted to see An Miaoyi, he couldn’t possibly go with Feng Lie.

Not long after, Feng Lie returned.

“Brother Ye, one of the old ancestors in the clan said we should acpany you out for a stroll.

We’ll be leaving the divine city soon.” Ye Fan’s expression flickered.

This was a sensitive time, and going out now wasn’t a good idea.

He didn’t understand why the Wind Clan had made such a decision.

“It’s fine to go.

This is the unparalleled Divine King’s idea.

He is about to depart and wants to make one last move,” an old man from the Wind Clan said as he walked into the room.

Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

Divine King Jiang’s days are numbered.

This is probably his last show of strength, and he might never appear again…

The divine city remained as bustling as ever.

The streets were choked with traffic, and the flow of people was unceasing, especially with the recent motion from the sacred body’s breakthrough, which had attracted many cultivators.

Feng Lie’s friends were either heirs of Sacred Lands or disciples of ancient families, all with notable backgrounds.

The men were dashing and spirited, the women beautiful and charming—truly a group of ‘aristocrats.’ “Feng Lie, your brother-in-law is incredibly formidable.

Feeling a lot of pressure?” “On the night of the full moon, I personally witnessed how terrifying the sacred body is.

He single-handedly withstood the Tribulation Immortal Song.

All our fellow Saint Heirs were intimidated; no one dared to make a move.” “Your sister is three years older than him, you know, and even you are two years older.

Won’t you feel awkward calling him brother-in-law?” Some of the young men and women teased Feng Lie, pletely unaware of Ye Fan in the distance.

Others, however, looked displeased; they were suitors of Phoenix and did not want this alliance to succeed.

“Phoenix isn’t here yet, is she?

I heard she scorns this marriage alliance and doesn’t even want to meet the sacred body.

Besides, the Wind Clan hasn’t officially made a decision yet.

Everything is still subject to change.” “Phoenix possesses a beauty that could make fish sink and wild geese fall, that could outshine the moon and make flowers blush.

She’s exceptionally talented and created a divine art at the age of thirteen.

It’s understandable if she doesn’t choose the sacred body.” “The sacred body couldn’t even cultivate before.

Even if he has successfully broken through, who knows what the future holds?

It’s filled with uncertainty.

The Wind Clan doesn’t need to be too concerned about him.” The earlier teasing was one thing, but these latter remarks made Feng Lie’s expression change.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” he said.

“What’s wrong, Feng Lie?

Weren’t you also displeased with that sacred body?” “Yeah, weren’t you just beaten up by him not long ago?

Why are you speaking up for him now?” “What nonsense are you all spouting!” Feng Lie interjected, not expecting them to say such things.

A faint smile touched Ye Fan’s lips as he strolled over.

His eyes were clear and bright, his hair danced in the breeze, and he had an otherworldly, ethereal grace, like an exiled Immortal.

“Sacred body…” Those who had just been speaking tensed up and quickly shut their mouths.

Even their senior or junior fellow Saint Heirs were intimidated by the person before them, let alone themselves.

Ye Fan, his sacred body initially acplished, had battled the peerless prodigy Xia Jiuyou on a moonlit night, intimidating everyone in the younger generation.

How many would dare to contend with him now?

Recalling Ancient Phenomena like Immortal King Over Nine Heavens or Chaos Seed Green Lotus, these people still felt a lingering trepidation.

This was not to mention Ye Fan’s Golden Blood Qi that soared to the heavens and his terrifying physique, parable to a True Dragon.

“Brother Ye…” Everyone greeted him one after another.

Several of the young men were quite nervous, afraid Ye Fan would hold their earlier words against them.

The young women among them, however, were quite animated.

Their beautiful eyes sparkled as they proactively approached Ye Fan to converse.

“Brother Ye, we’ve witnessed your divine prowess firsthand, and we’ve also heard that your Source Technique is unparalleled.

Could you perhaps enlighten us?” “Yes!

There’s a Sacred Land Stone Workshop just ahead.

How about you show us there?” Several women, their eyes bright and smiles radiant, spoke up one after another.

Ye Fan did not refuse.

He wanted to try his luck at the various Stone Workshops, clinging to a sliver of hope that he might cut open an Undying Divine Medicine to save the Divine King and Little Tingting.

The Purple Qilin, after all, was just a seed.

Although it could extend one’s lifespan, it was far from parable to a mature divine medicine and likely could not cure the root cause of their ailments.

Unfortunately, after more than half a day, he hadn’t cut open a single piece of stone.

He had exhausted all his means and even unleashed his Source Heaven Divine Sense, yet he still hadn’t discovered the Immortal Treasure he needed.

He could only sigh.

Undying Divine Medicines were so precious precisely because they were incredibly rare, obtainable only by chance and not through seeking.

Even in Ancient Times, there were only a few such plants.

Is the unparalleled Divine King truly going to perish?

Ye Fan felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

The resolution in his heart solidified, and he resumed collecting Divine Source Stone Skin.

Ye Fan had not appeared in public for several days.

Now, as he walked through the various Stone Workshops, he immediately attracted extraordinary attention, and numerous cultivators greeted him with extreme enthusiasm.

Ye Fan’s final stop was the Ji Family Stone Workshop, hoping to find another Stone King.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately left pletely disappointed, still finding nothing.

“Brother Ye, congratulations on breaking the curse!” “This is joyous news!

The Great Success Holy Body is finally going to reappear in the world!” “Junior Brother Ye, I’ve arranged a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Tonight, we drink until we drop!” …

It seemed as if everyone knew him; enthusiastic greetings came from all directions.

Ye Fan responded to each with a smile until his facial expression gradually grew numb, and he finally had to leave.

BOOM!

On his way back, an earth-shattering noise rang out as the sky itself seemed to split apart.

The unparalleled Divine King had struck, instantly killing all those lurking in the shadows with malicious intent.

“This…” The cultivators in the divine city paled, their hearts filled with immense shock.

The unparalleled Divine King was on the verge of death, yet he still possessed such bat power.

It was deeply unsettling, especially for those harboring ulterior motives.

They all went into hiding, daring not to make another move.

Phoenix arrived, so suddenly that everyone was deeply surprised.

Even the people of the Wind Clan had not received any prior news.

Only when they saw her did they realize that their clan’s bright pearl had arrived.

Phoenix’s fame for her beauty had spread throughout the Eastern Wastelands.

She was the stunning bright pearl of the Wind Clan.

Not only was her beauty peerless, but her cultivation talent was also astonishing.

At thirteen, she had already created divine arts and had even fought the Golden-Winged Little Peng King to a draw.

Upon seeing her, Ye Fan felt that this woman truly matched her name.

She was graceful and slender, wearing a brilliant Five-Colored Cloud Robe that seemed woven from Phoenix Divine Feathers.

It shimmered with divine radiance, and the five-colored light that flowed around it was dazzling to behold.

Her legendary, peerless face could not be seen because she wore a Phoenix Mask, which emanated such a radiant light that it was impossible to see through.

She possessed Immortal Skin and Jade Bone, her body exuding a crystalline luster, appearing incredibly sacred.

Her immortal form was slender and elegant, her waist delicate, and her figure curved perfectly, without a single flaw.

Enveloped in shimmering multicolored light, she was so radiant that one could hardly look at her directly.

Indeed, she was like a proud Immortal Phoenix.

She lifted her flawless, crystalline chin, revealing a swan-like, snow-white neck, and declared with immense pride, “I cannot marry you!” Ye Fan smiled faintly but said nothing, his expression calm.

Phoenix was dazzlingly beautiful.

Her dark hair shimmered with a crystalline light, and her entire being was like jade, radiant and captivating.

She held her head high with pride and said, “So what if you’re a sacred body?

I, Phoenix, am not impressed!

I don’t care what arrangements the clan has made previously, but from this day forward, there is no relationship between us.” “Actually, you don’t need to say these things to me.

You can go directly to the Peacock King of the Wind Clan.

Once you explain it to him, won’t everything be settled?” Ye Fan said calmly.

“There’s no need for you to tell me that; I am naturally aware.

I just want you to understand that it is utterly impossible for us to be engaged!” Phoenix’s voice was clear and melodious, pleasant to the ear, yet its meaning was not gentle in the slightest.

“Alright, you’ve said your piece, and I’ve heard you out.

You can go to the Peacock King of the Wind Clan now.” Ye Fan sipped his tea, appearing pletely unconcerned.

Phoenix, her Five-Colored Cloud Robe flowing with light, resembled a fairy from the Nine Heavens Palace who had accidentally fallen to the mortal realm.

She still held her head high, as if standing far above the clouds.

She let out a soft snort, her phoenix-like eyes sweeping over Ye Fan a few times.

Hearing the news, members of the Wind Clan hurried over, and several elderly figures entered the room one after another.

“Our little princess has arrived!

Why didn’t you e to see us old geezers?” a few of the old men said with smiles, clearly doting on Phoenix.

Phoenix curtsied gracefully, her voice sweet, knowing well how to please these elders.

“Why did our clan’s bright pearl say such things just now?” Several of the elders seemed to have heard her words.

Phoenix, graceful and poised, gently shook her head.

Her voice was sweet as she said, “Dear Ancestors, I simply do not wish to be engaged to the sacred body.” “Why?” one of the old men asked.

“Why, indeed?

Why should I be engaged to him?” Phoenix retorted.

“You…” The old men were speechless.

There were some things they truly couldn’t say in front of Ye Fan, lest they appear too pragmatic, even though everyone knew the reality.

“So what if he’s a sacred body?

I’ve had no interaction with him; I’ve never even known him.

Even if I were to truly get engaged, I would choose someone who could bee a Great Emperor, not a mere almost-Great Emperor!” Phoenix declared, holding her head high, her skin like crystal, and vibrant colors swirling around her.

Her voice was captivating as she continued, “Even in terms of strength, I myself have the hope of reaching that stage.

Why should I be engaged to him?”
