I picked up the scattered attributes

The moment Feng Xia spoke, the Queen Mother was startled.

She subconsciously looked down and saw that her feet were covered with countless symbols. These symbols were lighting up one by one, merging with the entire space and emitting a heart-pounding vibration.

A strong aura of malevolence was rising, intertwining and creating various strange phenomena, as if any slight movement from her would result in a terrifying and fatal attack.

Taking a deep breath, the Queen Mother uttered a few words with difficulty:

"Ten Directions Annihilation...Killing Formation!"

This formation was the number one killing formation of the Lingyun era. It was extremely ferocious and had killed countless powerful enemies. It was so cruel and bloodthirsty that it even developed its own sentience and almost turned against its master.

It was for this reason that Emperor Lingyun sealed this formation away for a long time, until the Lingyun Calamity descended, when he allowed it to be cleansed of its dust and unleash its terrifying power, killing countless powerful enemies.

Unfortunately, the great calamity was still inescapable.

Even the ferocity of the First Killing Formation could not save the crumbling Lingyun Kingdom. With the fall of the Lingyun era, the fearsome reputation of this formation faded away. Over the years, its legend has long since disappeared.

Therefore, at this moment, the shock in the Empress's heart was even a thousand times stronger than when she saw Feng Xia unleash the Thirty-Three Heavens Yuan Technique not long ago!

"When exactly...when exactly?"

She murmured in disbelief, her expression growing increasingly terrified.

If she were still at her peak, or if her true form were here, perhaps she could escape after paying a certain price...

However, at this moment, faced with the overwhelming and densely packed symbols that lit up, she felt a genuine chill run down her spine: "When exactly did you set up this grand formation?"

Suddenly, the Queen Mother trembled violently, her gaze locking onto Feng Xia:

"Who are you?"

"If you only had the Thirty-Three Heavens Yuan Technique, I might think you were just lucky to have accidentally obtained the inheritance of Emperor Lingyun. But the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation... is not something that can be learned with just luck!"

Not to mention, Feng Xia had unknowingly completed the setup of the grand formation, turning her into a sitting duck!

This clearly demonstrates an intimate familiarity with the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation, having practiced it countless times, understanding every detail of its structure, and being able to execute it with ease and fluency, ultimately achieving such an effect.

This is beyond what can be achieved simply through inheritance.

"I will ask you one more time..." The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, word by word, "Who exactly are you?"

Originally, she only sensed a change in this world, and in order not to miss the opportunity, she sent an avatar to investigate the situation.

The result was that it had only been a short time since it arrived, and it ran into a weirdo like Feng Xia!

The Thirty-Three Heavens Yuan Gong, the Ten Directions Annihilation Array... made her feel as if she had returned to the past, and saw the Lingyun Emperor who had stormed into the depths of her lair with his bare hands!

Equally unfathomable, equally breathtakingly beautiful!

The thought she had just suppressed resurfaced wildly once again:

"Back then, Lu Tiancheng... could he really not have died...?"

"And now... he's come to settle old scores with me?!"

As for the strange behavior that Zhu Youniang and Qinglin had exhibited just now, she simply ignored it.

"Are you surprised, Mother Queen?"

With his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, Feng Xia said calmly, "Your Majesty's talent is extraordinary and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Do you really think that the Lingyun Kingdom back then... was completely doomed?"

Only Zhu Youniang noticed out of the corner of her eye that a layer of fine goosebumps had risen on the back of Feng Xia's neck.

However, Feng Xia used the power of the Creation Mystic Art to forcibly restrain them, and even locked all the pores on his body, preventing a single drop of cold sweat from falling.

Historically, they were truly at their wits' end.

Otherwise, if Lingyun Kingdom were still around, how could later entrants like Xuanwu Kingdom and Wanyao Kingdom have gotten their turn?

Right now, Feng Xia is obviously boasting to the Queen Mother, spouting nonsense, and nine and a half out of ten of his sentences are false—but the Queen Mother obviously doesn't know that!

"This person is definitely afraid of death. When the Lingyun Calamity descended, she hid herself away beforehand and did not reappear in the world for several hundred years afterward..."

Within the purple palace between Feng Xia's brows, purple energy surged, and lotus flowers bloomed one after another in the primordial chaos.

On each lotus flower, there stands a little Fengxia, some with their arms crossed, some with their brows furrowed, each with a different expression.

However, they are all doing the same thing.

The little winds and summers were frantically calculating, based on all sorts of clues and the Queen Mother's logic, to predict her next possible actions in great detail!

Every now and then, one or two Xiao Fengxia would let out a scream and faint on the spot, unable to bear the burden.

However, soon after, more lotus flowers will bloom, supporting a new Xiaofengxia, to continue this massive calculation.

Before this, Kazeka had only done this twice.

The first time was when he encountered a great calamity in Qianqiu Valley, he deduced the Thirteen Swords of the Peerless Hero.

The second time was in the dream world, where he deduced the second great supernatural power of the Dao Heart—Wrath of All Beings!

just now……

This is the third time!

"The Empress is extremely afraid of death, and during the time she hides away, she may not know much about what is happening in the Xuan Yuan World. If this is used properly..."

The Empress Dowager was too timid. Whenever she saw anything related to Emperor Lingyun, she would become trembling and shrink back in fear, to the point that she didn't even realize it...

The so-called Ten Directions Annihilation Killing Array is actually fake!

On the surface, Feng Xia smiled confidently: "Do you think that before the Lingyun Calamity broke out, His Majesty only contacted you and only reached an alliance with you?"

The Queen Mother's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before she could ponder the implications, Feng Xia continued with a light laugh: "Mother Empress, do you really think His Majesty's backup plans are only what you've seen? If they really are only what you've seen, where do you think I came from?"

The Queen Mother's pupils contracted again.

Based on her understanding of Emperor Lingyun, she knew that he would have one trick up his sleeve after another, and just when she thought he was at his wit's end, he might reveal a completely new trump card!

Otherwise, how could we have created the glorious Lingyun era and become awe-inspiring in the surrounding worlds?

"Could it be... that he really didn't die?"

Subconsciously swallowing, the Queen Mother stared at Feng Xia for a long time before saying in a bitter tone, "So, you've appeared today to collect... the debt you owed me back then?"

Feng Xia shook his head and said without changing his expression:

"No, I'm here to discuss a new collaboration."

……

Chapter 0362

As soon as Feng Xia spoke, a look of astonishment appeared on the Queen Mother's face, which was exactly the same as Wu Guan's.

Back then, she chose to betray the alliance between the two sides and abandoned Lingyun Kingdom in a moment of crisis. As a result, she lived in constant fear for the next few hundred years.

She feared that from some unknown corner, Emperor Lingyun would once again emerge and question her about why she had betrayed the alliance.

And now, just when she was almost forgetting the past, the thing she feared most in her heart has finally come true.

However, the situation was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

Although Feng Xia came with great force, it seems that he has no intention of annihilating them completely.

even……

"You mean you want to cooperate with me again?"

The Queen Mother blinked, somewhat unable to believe her ears.

So the other party wasn't here to settle scores later?

Feng Xia remained calm and smiled leisurely, saying, "I'm naturally not here to settle scores. Otherwise, if I activated the Ten Directions Annihilation Killing Array, do you think you would still have a chance to survive?"

Answer……

Of course there is.

After all, the Ten Directions Annihilation Killing Array is just an empty shell—with Feng Xia's current cultivation level, he can't even unleash one percent of its power. It's fine to use it to scare people, but in a real battle, it will definitely reveal its true form in an instant.

However, the Queen Mother was completely kept in the dark and had no idea about this matter.

She glanced at Feng Xia a few times, and while slightly relieved, she secretly calculated in her mind: "This guy's cultivation isn't strong, but it's definitely not weak either. He should be at the peak of the True Spirit Realm to the initial stage of the Divine Bridge Realm! If he activates this formation with all his might, this clone will definitely perish here..."

This clone carries a portion of her cultivation; if it were to be lost, it would be a significant loss for her.

More importantly, judging from Feng Xia's current demeanor, he is clearly representing Emperor Lingyun!

She needs to consider the deeper meaning behind it.

The Queen Mother slowly withdrew her countless tentacles, her gaze gradually becoming solemn, and her breath came to a halt. Her eyes moved, occasionally landing on Feng Xia.

What do you want to talk about?

“What we’ve discussed before, we can discuss again now,” Feng Xia said with a smile that remained unchanged. “What we haven’t discussed yet, we can try now.”

There's no doubt he's just stalling for time.

The Queen Mother's face twitched. She stared at Feng Xia for a long time, then suddenly chuckled: "Little fellow, you really have quite the presence. I was almost frightened by you!"

Feng Xia remained expressionless, only the corners of his mouth continued to turn upwards.

The Queen Mother's expression changed again, but quickly, she smiled again, a particularly alluring smile on her face, which was exactly the same as Wu Guan's.

"Little guy, don't think I can't see through your bluff! So what if Lu Tiancheng has a backup plan? The once extremely powerful Lingyun Kingdom is now mostly dead or crippled, and even he himself doesn't dare to show himself."
