A young man stepped out from the crowd.
Standing among the onlookers, he concealed all signs of his presence, appearing as a re spectator.
But at this mont, the energy he released was vast and inclusive, an epito of calm majesty.
Ling Xiao didn’t recognize this person, but by the looks of it, he must be soone from the Fire Phoenix Clan, otherwise he wouldn’t confront Fengming Wan Zhong like that.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing the youth, Fengming Wan Zhong was startled, suddenly realizing his slip of the tongue.
Although the covert strife between the Ice Phoenix Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan was an open secret, no one dared to bring such disputes into the open as that would make them criminals against the entire Phoenix Clan, the instigators of infighting, inevitably turning them into public enemies.
From the very beginning of the Phoenix God Empire, it was decreed that infighting was strictly forbidden.
Although the rule was virtually ineffective now.
But a rule is a rule.
One might neglect it in secret, but must uphold it publicly.
In the past, the Dark Phoenix Clan had broken this rule, resulting in their exclusion from the Emperor’s competition; their current state was indeed not enviable.
Crown Prince?
Could this person be from Feng Yingshan?
Ling Xiao naturally thought of Feng Yingshan from the Fire Phoenix Clan, because it was improbable for Fengming Qishan of the Ice Phoenix Clan to help him like this.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I spoke rashly out of anger just now, please forgive ," Fengming Wan Zhong hastily added.
"You are from the Ice Phoenix Clan; I dare not offend you, lest Qishan co at with a vengeance. Take a seat. Regardless, our Fire Phoenix Clan must unite with the Ice Phoenix Clan; otherwise, if our enemies exploit our weaknesses, it would be troubleso," Feng Yingshan said, smiling slightly. His words were neither harsh nor hot, yet they left Fengming Wan Zhong without a retort.
"Put on airs for what? If you really want unity, your Fire Phoenix Clan might as well rge into our Ice Phoenix Clan," Fengming Wan Zhong didn’t say it aloud, but he felt so disdain in his heart.
"When did you arrive, Yingshan?"
Feng Qingyan interjected at this mont.
"Uncle Qingyan, I’ve been here for a while. Let’s all take a seat. The competition isn’t over yet; we shouldn’t outshine the actual contenders," Feng Yingshan glanced at Feng Qingyan and others, smiled, then took the seat reserved for him ahead of everyone else.
"Peacock Phoenix Kong He pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Harry Peng, Prince of Phoenix, pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
In terms of fa, the Ten Great Phoenix Children were theoretically equal. Yet among them, Feng Yingshan, being the Crown Prince of the Fire Phoenix Clan, held greater renown.
Plus, being ranked second among the Ten Great Phoenix Children, second only to Fengming Qishan who was ranked first, he stood far above both the Peacock Princess and the Sky Roc Prince.
It was only natural for the two to show the utmost respect to him.
"There’s no need for such formality, gentlen. We can exchange moves when ti permits. For now, let’s watch the match," Feng Yingshan said warmly. Aside from his imposing initial deterrence towards Fengming Wan Zhong, he appeared composed and amiable, which made him instantly likable.
"Another one from the Royal Family, huh?"
Ling Xiao inwardly chuckled; indeed, it was common to encounter remarkable figures within the Imperial City.
In the past, he had only heard of Feng Yingshan, but had never seen him.
Now that they t, it was truly a startling encounter.
It seed that the power differences among the Phoenix God Empire’s Ten Great Phoenix Children were quite significant.
If his guess was correct, Feng Yingshan needed only a move and a half to easily defeat both the Peacock Princess and the Sky Roc Prince.
"Hold on!"
Ling Xiao suddenly raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, I am of course very delighted that you would co to watch the duel between and Blood Skeleton, but could you please have that piece of shit beside you piss off?"
Naturally, he was referring to Fengming Wan Zhong.
"What did you say, boy?"
Fengming Wan Zhong angrily said.
"I said you’re a piece of shit, and a despicable and shaless one at that! What about it?"
Ling Xiao said coldly, "Piss off, if you don’t leave today, this duel can’t go on."
Feng Yingshan frowned, he had heard of Ling Xiao’s arrogance, but he hadn’t expected it to extend to this extent, to actually tell Fengming Wan Zhong to piss off?
At this mont, Fengming Wan Zhong had beco the target of public criticism, with everyone’s gaze fixed on him.
If he did not leave, the fight could not begin.
But if he did leave, that would an he was truly afraid of Ling Xiao.
"You wait for , boy!"
In the end, Fengming Wan Zhong could not stand the embarrassnt of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes; more importantly, he needed to hurry back to heal.
Within his Spirit Sea, the terrifying Soul Power kept tornting him, causing him significant discomfort.
"Just piss off already!"
Watching Fengming Wan Zhong leave, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but sneer. An unremarkable butterfly flew out from his sleeve and quickly left the square, chasing after Fengming Wan Zhong.
Did he really think that, after ambushing him, he could return to Phoenix God College to heal in peace?
Ling Xiao was not such an easy person to speak with!
"Blood Skeleton, how much longer do you plan to lie there? Just now, an outsider interfered with our duel. Let’s have a fair and square battle now!"
He knew that Blood Skeleton hadn’t been hurt.
After all, most of the Power of the Human King had been used against Fengming Wan Zhong just now, and only the residual energy had reached Blood Skeleton.
Blood Skeleton returned to the Martial Arts Platform, looked at Ling Xiao coldly, and suddenly asked, "Was that power just now your own?"
"No!"
"Then you’re bound to lose!"
Blood Skeleton sneered. If Ling Xiao had possessed that energy, he would have been seriously concerned about today’s battle.
But since that energy wasn’t Ling Xiao’s, what was there for him to fear? In front of him, Ling Xiao was hardly worth ntioning.
He wanted to make Ling Xiao understand how foolish it was to provoke him, Blood Skeleton, and to kill his nephew.
Of course, he also had the heavy responsibility of regaining face for Phoenix God College on his shoulders, so losing was not an option.
The deathly red aura erupted once again, and Blood Skeleton’s eyes turned blood-red.
Ling Xiao sensed that Blood Skeleton seed to have undergone another transformation, seemingly stronger than before.
"I should thank you. If it hadn’t been for that hit just now, my Cultivation Level would not have broken through so quickly!"
Blood Skeleton’s face showed a mocking smile, his Cultivation Level had unexpectedly broken through to the Five Elents Heavenly Peak.
This bottleneck, which he had been unable to break through before, had been broken as a result of being sent flying by Ling Xiao.
His confidence was even stronger as a result.
"Is that so? Then I might enjoy this a bit more!"
Ling Xiao’s face revealed a serene smile; beneath the Mystery of the Shadow, the icy Sword Intent was released again.
Although he didn’t seem to care about his opponent, Ling Xiao would not be complacent.
Just as a lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit, he didn’t want to capsize in the sewer.
If others capsized in the sewer, there would still be soone to help them, but if he capsized, he might never be able to stand up again.
