The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Upon hearing Liu Mengli's words, Su Yunzhao was stunned inside the cauldron.

She looked around at the dark space and smelled a lingering burnt smell in the air, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.

"What...what did you just say? Ye Qianqiu, he..."

"He was refined into a pill right where you're standing." Liu Mengli crunched on a spirit fruit and said casually, "Your dear husband, with his thick skin and tough flesh, spent a long time refining it, finally producing a golden, top-grade human pill. The quality was quite good. My master swallowed that pill and that's how he broke through to the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunzhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

She had considered that Ye Qianqiu might encounter misfortune in the secret realm, but she never expected that his high level of cultivation would be refined into pills and become someone else's food!

Su Yunzhao's vision went black, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Her lips trembled, and her eyes instantly reddened. "You...you...turned him into a pill?"

"Yes, and your good nephew Sun Huan, he was also forged in this furnace. The two of them, one after the other, will keep each other company on the road to the underworld."

"Ah..." Su Yunzhao let out a heart-wrenching scream, "I'll kill you!"

But she had only taken two steps when she was bounced back by the restrictions of the alchemy furnace, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Liu Mengli sat up from the recliner, clicked her tongue twice, and said, "Oh dear, you should save your energy. Just wait patiently until your master is done with his work and comes back to train you. With your current level, you'll be fine in a while."

Su Yunzhao lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She had been married into Wanjian Manor for hundreds of years. Although she couldn't say she had any deep, unforgettable love for Ye Qianqiu, he was still her husband and the father of her son.

Now it has actually been refined into a pill and eaten by Shen Yifei.

She is now trapped in this broken cauldron and has no strength to resist.

Before leaving, Liu Mengli added, "Maybe the master will let you live a few more days, and then you can refine him together with your precious son who has no testicles."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunzhao cried out "Oh dear!" and fainted from shock and anger.

Outside, Feng Ming was still in a standoff with Feng Jiuzhou.

A phoenix phantom rose up behind the two once more.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Clan and the Crow Clan all moved away from the two of them. Su Moyou was even surrounded by a large group of Crow Clan soldiers, and it looked like he was ready to escape at any moment.

To Shen Yifei's surprise, Feng Ming's attack was still aimed at him.

"You little bastard! Give me back my daughter!"

With a sharp cry, the black phoenix of Fengming transformed into a streak of black light and hurtled straight at Shen Yifei. Shen Yifei felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a chilling sense of death washed over him.

At this critical moment, Feng Jiuzhou's golden phoenix suddenly appeared, blocking Shen Yifei's path.

"boom!"

The two phoenixes, one gold and one black, collided again, unleashing a shockwave even more powerful than before.

This time, neither phoenix dissipated; golden and black flames intertwined, tearing each other apart wildly in mid-air, neither willing to yield.

Blood was already trickling from Feng Jiuzhou's lips. He gritted his teeth, struggling to prevent the golden phoenix from dissipating. "Feng Ming! You've gone mad! If this continues, we'll both die!"

"So be it!" Feng Ming's eyes were filled with madness. "For thousands of years, I've wanted to die! But before I die, I'll drag him down with me!"

She suddenly bit her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, and with a wave of her hand, sprinkled it all over the black phoenix!

The black phoenix grew enormously, becoming much larger than the golden phoenix of Feng Jiuzhou!

Its continuous cries felt like a death knell to Shen Yifei, but they weren't as unbearable as the mental attack he had just experienced.

Just then, Xinghe shouted loudly:

"Brother! Something's wrong! There's something wrong with that black phoenix's cry! It's absorbing the life essence of the Phoenix Clan!"

Shen Yifei was taken aback. He looked closely at the Phoenix Clan members around him and found that many of them were pale and weak. Several of them with low cultivation levels had collapsed to the ground, as if all their strength had been drained.

"Damn it!" Shen Yifei cursed inwardly. Feng Ming was indeed up to no good. She was trying to take this opportunity to absorb the life essence of the Phoenix Clan members to strengthen her own black phoenix!

He rushed to Feng Jiuzhou's side and shouted, "Elder Chief! Don't fight her head-on! She's absorbing the life essence of the clansmen!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuzhou's expression changed. He carefully sensed the surrounding clansmen's auras and indeed discovered that they were rapidly weakening. Meanwhile, Feng Ming's black phoenix had become even more powerful.

"Feng Ming! You…" Feng Jiuzhou trembled with rage, "You actually used the lives of the Phoenix Clan to nourish your natal phoenix?"

"Haha..." Fengming laughed wildly. "Big brother, what do you think I married that black crow for? It was just to raise my natal phoenix."

Upon hearing Feng Ming's words, Su Moyou exclaimed, "Damn it! You married me just to use our Crow Clan to raise your natal phoenix?"

"Heh, not much, just a mere 100,000!" Feng Ming sneered, his eyes full of contempt. "You think I'd even look at a dark-skinned thing like you? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Are you even worthy of me?"

"You...you..." He had originally planned to launch a major attack while the Phoenix Clan soldiers were demoralized, "I married you and raised you, and you use my clan as sustenance?"

Feng Ming sneered, "Your Crow Clan's bloodline is despicable. It's your good fortune that you can be nourished by my natal phoenix. If it weren't for me protecting your Crow Clan all these years, you would have been devoured by those surrounding demon clans long ago, leaving not even bones behind."

Su Moyou was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Because what Fengming said was true.

The Crow Clan held a low status among the demon race and possessed extremely poor cultivation talent. If it weren't for Feng Ming's marriage to maintain appearances, the Crow Clan would have been wiped out long ago.

"Fine...fine...fine, you Fengming!" Su Moyou gritted his teeth, "You've used me! You've used our Crow Clan for thousands of years! Have you no conscience?!"

"Conscience?" Feng Ming scoffed disdainfully. "I've even abandoned the Phoenix Clan, what conscience do I need?"

Shen Yifei, listening from the side, couldn't stop laughing. "Oh my, Mrs. Crow, you've really got some skills. They say a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, but you've married a black crow and are treating his entire clan like weeds."

"You little bastard, shut up!" Feng Ming pointed his spear. "After I've dealt with the Phoenix Clan, you'll be next! Hand over my daughter, and I might let you die a quicker death!"

After saying that, Fengming stopped talking nonsense, formed hand seals, and muttered incantations.

The black phoenix gradually gained the upper hand. Although Shen Yifei was not attacked by divine sense, nor was his life essence extracted like that of the phoenix clan, his spiritual energy was suppressed and his circulation was not smooth.

He wanted to help Feng Jiuzhou, but he was powerless to do so!

The cry of the black phoenix transformed into ripples that spread in all directions.

Wherever the black ripples passed, members of the Phoenix Clan collapsed to the ground, their faces deathly pale, their breaths weak, and their life essence flowing continuously into the black phoenix.

Even the four guardians and several elders could not withstand the corrosive influence of the black ripples; their faces turned pale and their legs went weak.

Feng Jiuzhou realized that he could not delay any longer, but he just couldn't bring himself to harm his own sister.

"Feng Ming, stop now! Come back, and I'll give you the position of Phoenix Clan Chief!"

"Come back? Haha, big brother, you're not coming back!! I'll tell you a secret! Sister-in-law, the woman you loved so deeply, I poisoned her!"
