People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 219 Feng Qing'er, An Unexpected Joy
After a moment, Chen Xiao was the first to come to his senses.

What's done is done; it doesn't matter whether he had the intention to kill Venerable Lei before.

"Lord Wind, is something the matter?"

As Chen Xiao swooped down from the sky, his gaze swept across the entire scene, with Feng Xian, who stood stiffly on the high platform, standing out in particular.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's voice, Feng Xian slowly came back to his senses.

Although Chen Xiao's strength impressed him somewhat, Feng Xian hesitated for a moment because it might involve his good friend. He then clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked, feigning ignorance, "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

"Zixiao Pavilion, Chen Xiao."

Chen Xiao cupped his hands slightly and replied calmly.

Within the Four Directions Pavilion, Venerable Wind's strength is quite impressive, consistently maintaining a clear advantage over the other three Venerables.

Most importantly, this person has good character. He searched for Yao Chen for so many years, and when Yao Chen returned, he did not hesitate to take the position of the Starfall Pavilion Master. This shows his character.

"To be honest, Venerable Chen, I have a close friend named Yao Chen. Just now, when I saw you use the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it suddenly reminded me of him. I wonder if you have ever met him?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately understood what Feng Xian was thinking.

Yao Chen and his apprentice had secretly returned to the Starfall Pavilion and even took two four-star Dou Zong with them, so their sudden realization that it didn't exist was clearly just a sign of doubt about their Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"No need to beat around the bush. Yao Chen is doing well in the Northwest. He and his apprentice should return in a while. However, whether they will be able to have peace and quiet after they arrive in Zhongzhou is another matter," Chen Xiao replied with a chuckle.

Feng Xian was so concerned that he lost his mind, wanting to know if his Bone Spirit Cold Flame was the same one as Yao Chen's, but he forgot about the occasion.

His open questioning completely exposed Yao Chen's whereabouts, and it was foreseeable that the Starfall Pavilion would not be peaceful in the future.

The strongest guild on the mainland, Soul Palace, should take action upon receiving this news!

Seeing Chen Xiao's smile, Feng Xian belatedly realized the problem and couldn't help but show a troubled expression, wishing he could take back everything he had just said.

Unfortunately, words spoken are like water poured out; regret is useless now.

Right now, the priority is to make amends as quickly as possible.

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I have other important matters to attend to right now. I will find another opportunity to have a long talk with you another day."

Feng Xian cupped his hands in greeting, not even bothering to greet Sword Venerable Huang Quan. As soon as he finished speaking, he tore through space and disappeared.

Originally, it would have been enough for Yao Chen and his disciples to quietly return and take two Dou Zong to the Northwest, but that's no longer possible.

To be on the safe side, he had to make the trip himself to avoid the Soul Palace getting there first.

Only after Venerable Wind left did the square erupt in heated discussion.

"Hiss, Venerable Lei has truly fallen!"

"Zixiao Pavilion, Chen Xiao!"

"From now on, this will be the new Sifang Pavilion."

"These disciples and elders of Fenglei Pavilion probably hate the Hong family of Tianbei City to death now. If it weren't for Hong Chen causing trouble, Lei Zun Zhe wouldn't have died. Now even the fate of these disciples and elders is in the hands of others."

As these onlookers said, the atmosphere in the area where the many disciples and elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were located was frighteningly heavy.

With Lei Zunzhe dead, their lives and deaths are now entirely in Chen Xiao's hands.

The agony of waiting for someone else to pronounce one's fate is unimaginable.

As for resistance…

That's a pipe dream; it will only make you die faster and won't serve any other purpose.

What they didn't know was that Chen Xiao was also having a headache over this matter.

Before today, he had predicted that he would fight Lei Zunzhe, practice his skills, and then drive Fenglei Beige away and take his place. It was that simple.

That's why he didn't bother to target Fei Tian and Yang Lei, as people of that caliber were insignificant.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Lei was unable to withstand that attack and died on the spot.

With this outcome, we must change our approach to dealing with Fenglei Pavilion.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate any longer, casting his cold gaze at the elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the other three pavilion masters.

"Space, strangle!"

As Chen Xiao's soft shout fell, the space in this area immediately fluctuated violently, and the space where the high-ranking members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were located on the high platform also twisted rapidly, and even faint spatial wrinkles appeared.

"Crack!"

As soon as the spatial folds appeared, a pitch-black fault line appeared in that space, and the bodies of the high-ranking members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were twisted and severed by the space, and then swallowed into the pitch-black crack, leaving only storage rings floating in mid-air.

From beginning to end, this group of Dou Zong powerhouses, who were powerful enough to dominate the north of the sky, did not even let out a single scream!
Seeing this scene, the disciples of Fenglei Pavilion all turned pale, and even the bystanders in the square felt a chill in their hearts.

A Dou Zun level expert is terrifying!
"Fenglei Pavilion is hereby removed from the list. All disciples are to be dismissed on the spot. My Zixiao Pavilion will be located at Qifeng Mountain. We will officially begin recruiting disciples and elders in six months. Anyone interested is welcome to come and participate in the assessment."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Xiao drew all the storage rings over and announced the announcement expressionlessly.

In a world like the Dou Qi Continent, joining a faction also involves taking risks.

One glory and one glory.

We will inherit its glory and bear its calamities!
Therefore, neither Sword Venerable nor Yellow Spring Venerable spoke when they saw Chen Xiao dealing with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Even the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were already mentally prepared to be easily wiped out.

They just didn't expect that Chen Xiao only eliminated the high-ranking Dou Zong level disciples and had no interest in the remaining disciples.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"May I ask, Venerable One, are we permitted to participate in the disciple assessment six months from now?"

The disciples of Fenglei Pavilion felt as if they had been granted a pardon. After bowing, they rushed towards the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

Some of the more resourceful individuals are already considering where they will go next.

The Zixiao Pavilion, which has just taken root in Zhongzhou, is a good choice.

"Anything that meets the requirements is acceptable."

Chen Xiao only gave a vague answer to this.

But having personally witnessed the disintegration of the Fenglei Pavilion, he already knew the answer in his heart.

Even sects have to be strict when recruiting disciples, considering not only talent but also character and age.

This may increase the investment, but as these disciples grow, their cohesion and loyalty will be stronger!
Of course, Chen Xiao doesn't need to worry about the more specific details. Once Hai Bodong arrives in Zhongzhou, he only needs to mention it to Hai Bodong, and the Ice Emperor will handle it properly.

As the disciples of Fenglei Pavilion left, the plaza became much emptier in an instant.

Because of the departure of these people, the only Fenglei Pavilion disciple who did not leave became exceptionally conspicuous.

"Who is this? Why doesn't she leave?"

"Brother Bai, you don't even know her? Are you even a person from Zhongzhou?" "Well, my clan has a special situation, and we are isolated from information."

"Alright, then let me tell you about her. This person's identity is not simple. Her name is Feng Qing'er. She was one of the best among the younger generation of the original Sifang Pavilion and was known as Miss Feng. At the same time, she was also a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and the recently fallen Thunder Venerable was her teacher!"

Seeing the woman standing alone in the middle of the field, the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Chen Xiao had actually noticed Feng Qing'er long ago.

After all, among the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, she was the only one who was not wearing the uniform silver robes.

Looking at her, the woman was dressed in a seven-colored robe, exuding an undeniable air of nobility.

Her cheeks were slightly thin, but her appearance was outstanding. She had a perfect oval face, and her purplish-brown gem-like eyes made Feng Qing'er look like a princess from an empire, beautiful and holy. She seemed somewhat out of place in the crowded scene.

But the only flaw is that there seems to be a lot of indifference in the holiness, making people feel inaccessible.

At this moment, all the other disciples of Fenglei Pavilion had left, but Feng Qing'er did not move an inch, staring at Chen Xiao with her pair of purplish-brown eyes without any fear.

Despite being only at the peak of Dou Huang, and despite being more than ten minor realms below Chen Xiao, she showed no fear in the face of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Of course, it wasn't that she was truly ready to die.

The reason for this is that behind her is the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, which is second only to the Ancient Dragon of the Void!
Compared to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, a force like the Four Directions Pavilion is utterly insignificant.

As Chen Xiao sized up Feng Qing'er, information about the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan flashed through his mind.

With Zi Yan involved, it's practically a foregone conclusion that he and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will become adversaries, so whether or not he offends the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is actually irrelevant.

Moreover, Feng Qing'er's current status within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is not particularly high.

"You're not leaving?"

Without answering Chen Xiao's question, Feng Qing'er stood tall like a proud phoenix, a strange black flame slowly emanating from her body.

Just as everyone was horrified, thinking she was recklessly seeking death, they saw Feng Qing'er frown and the black flames recede into her body.

"Thank you, Venerable One. We... will meet again!"

Feng Qing'er clasped her hands slightly and then said something ambiguous.

Others might not understand her meaning, but Chen Xiao knew the reason behind it.

He once obtained a dried corpse of a Heavenly Phoenix. After processing it, he used the demon core, gave the essence blood to Zi Yan as snacks, and used the claws to forge weapons for Zi Yan. Only the pair of Heavenly Phoenix wings remained on his body.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan seems to possess some secret techniques to perceive these things. Feng Qing'er must have sensed something just now, which is why she used her methods. Although she didn't summon those wings, she still couldn't dispel her suspicions.

Her words now clearly indicate that she will test him again in the future.

Chen Xiao's gaze narrowed slightly. Just as he was considering whether Feng Qing'er was worth keeping, a strange yet familiar laugh suddenly entered his ears.

"Hehehe, I see you won't have a chance to see me again. Today, I'm going to devour you!"

As the sinister laughter subsided, the space beside Chen Xiao was suddenly torn open, revealing a spatial passage.

The next moment, a graceful figure stepped out from within!

She had a stunning figure, with a beautiful and delicate face. At this moment, she wore a malicious smile, making her look exceptionally alluring.

From this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared, Feng Qing'er felt a deadly sense of crisis, as if she had encountered a destined nemesis. Reason told her that if she hesitated for even a second, she might die!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Feng Qing'er dared not hesitate any longer. A pair of dazzling wings suddenly unfolded from her back. She didn't even care about her mount, the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane, which was parked in the Fenglei North Pavilion. Without looking back, she fled at high speed towards the distant horizon.

Of course, speed is relative.

That so-called extreme speed is actually not enough in front of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Chen Xiao moved slightly, but was pulled back by the woman beside him.

"Forget it, let her be. We are Dou Zun powerhouses, it's unacceptable for the strong to bully the weak. Once she knows about your relationship with our clan, she certainly won't dare to do anything."

After saying that, he transmitted his voice again: "Just scare them a little, the situation on Dragon Island is not good."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao did not insist.

He had never been interested in Feng Qing'er.

Chen Xiao was somewhat surprised that the woman beside him could think this way.

It seems that she has indeed matured a lot during this time.

With a look of surprise and suspicion, Chen Xiao sized him up.

To everyone's surprise, this girl was not shy at all; instead, she stood tall and proud, looking quite pleased with herself.

Well, old habits die hard!
Still the familiar recipe, still the familiar taste!
Even after many years apart, there is still no sense of distance between us.

"Hehehe? Who taught you to laugh like that?" Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled the scene when she appeared earlier.

Without a doubt, only Zi Yan could be so carefree in front of Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao hadn't expected to see her again so soon.

The appearance of this giant dragon was a completely unexpected surprise.

"Oh, that's not important. Quickly get rid of these people and let's raid their house!"

Da Ziyan waved her hand and urged, looking like she was about to burst.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, signaling her to calm down, then turned his gaze to the high platform, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sword Venerable, Yellow Spring Venerable, the location of the Purple Cloud Pavilion has just been finalized today, and there are too many trivial matters to attend to..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, the two men had already stood up with smiles on their faces to return the greeting.

It was one thing for Venerable Huangquan to be taciturn, but even the usually silent and reserved Venerable Jian managed to force a smile onto his face.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for further words. We all know that we will pay a visit once the Purple Cloud Pavilion is completed. We will take our leave now."

"Thank you!"

After watching the two seemingly insignificant figures leave, Chen Xiao turned his gaze back to the arena.

"Han Xue, take some people to clean up Qifeng Mountain first. We'll make a plan for the specific renovations when we get back!"

"Yes!"

The entire Han family stood up, bowed, and accepted the cushy job under envious gazes.

Seeing that Chen Xiao had already begun to see the guests off, the other bystanders who were just watching the commotion all stood up.

Some left directly, while others bowed respectfully, regardless of whether Chen Xiao could see them or not.

"Brother Bai, let's go, let's go. The Venerable One doesn't care about these formalities."

In less than a quarter of an hour, almost all the people in the square had left, leaving only the Han family of Tianbei City, who began to get busy in a very organized manner.

Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction. With a flick of his finger, a puppet landed on the square. He then took the Heavenly Fire Venerable's storage ring and instructed him to take the puppet and plunder the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion first.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao exchanged a glance with Zi Yan, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
