Above the sky, looking far away, at the edge of the air, a floating island is quietly suspended.
Compared with other surrounding islands, this island is particularly large.
Although its scale is still not comparable to the core islands in the central area, compared with the relatively smaller islands around it, it already stands out like a crane among chickens and is particularly eye-catching.
The reason for this phenomenon that violates the conventional layout is naturally that this is the passage connecting this space with the outside world.
Therefore, this floating island located on the edge not only has to bear the important task of connecting the inside and the outside, but also serves as an outpost to check the infiltration of outsiders. Its scale and importance are naturally extraordinary.
In the center of the island, an open square comes into view.
The floor of the square is paved with an unknown white stone, engraved with complex and mysterious patterns. These patterns are intricate, like some kind of ancient spell, or some kind of powerful seal, emitting a faint light and converging into a huge formation.
The formation was operating quietly, as if it had life, absorbing and exhaling energy between heaven and earth, and providing a steady supply of energy for the protective formation that rose up around the entire island.
In the center of the square, two huge statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix stood with their wings spread, looking lifelike. They raised their heads to the sky, with their wings spread out, as if they were about to take off and soar into the sky at any moment.
Looking closely, these two statues are extremely similar to the two statues of Heavenly Demon Phoenix guarding the space passage in the outside world, both in shape and expression.
Around the square, several figures stood quietly, wearing luxurious armor with exquisite patterns carved on them, which shone brightly under the sunlight.
These guards stood tall and had sharp eyes. As usual, they were vigilantly patrolling their surroundings to ensure that any emergencies could be discovered in the first place.
At this moment, the two statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that were originally standing quietly in the center of the square suddenly burst into two bright rays of light from their eyes, as if they had awakened.
Immediately afterwards, in the center of the two statues, a space channel slowly rotated and gradually took shape, emitting a powerful spatial force.
This sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guards. Their eyes were as fast as lightning and they quickly shifted their gazes over, watching the change vigilantly.
One of the guards, who was a burly man and was obviously the leader, took a few steps forward and stood at the front of the team. He folded his hands in front of his chest and said in a deep voice: "The space channel is open. I have sensed a familiar blood breath. It should be that a member of the tribe has returned. But everyone should be alert and make sure there are no accidents. Now is the rotation handover period. Only our first team is here to guard, so each of you, don't let your guard down. After today is over, we can go to rest."
Upon hearing this, the guards around nodded in agreement. They clenched their weapons, staring intently at the space passage that had already taken shape.
As they were watching with vigilance, they saw a ripple suddenly appear in the space channel, and then a graceful figure jumped out from it. Her figure was light and graceful, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens descending to the earth, floating into the void.
This sudden figure immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they saw the beautiful figure clearly, the guards were stunned, and then a look of realization appeared on their faces.
These guards were not unfamiliar with this person. It was Feng Qing'er, who had become famous and up-and-coming in the clan some time ago.
"Greetings, Miss Qing'er." The leading guard of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan bowed slightly in the direction of Feng Qing'er and spoke in a loud voice.
Feng Qing'er is now a genuine Dou Zun powerhouse, and is also considered a strong person in the Tian Yao Huang clan. The guards who are responsible for guarding her naturally treat her with great respect.
The guards standing behind him also followed suit and bowed in unison, demonstrating good discipline.
Seeing this, Feng Qing'er just nodded slightly as a return gesture. Her attitude was indifferent, but she had a cool temperament.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice cold but dignified: "Since you all recognize me, then there is no need to activate the clan's formation to check, right?"
Upon hearing this, the guard leader immediately smiled and nodded more politely, saying:
"Ms. Feng Qing'er is the pride of our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. We naturally recognize her and naturally do not need to check her. Miss Qing'er has returned to the clan now. I think she must have important things to do. Please don't waste your time."
In response, Feng Qing'er just nodded slightly, her face still as calm as water, not moved at all by the other party's submissiveness, but in her cold eyes, a trace of relief flashed across her face imperceptibly.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If these guards really wanted to activate the clan's formation to conduct a detailed inspection, there might really be loopholes in the plan.
Although there are corresponding response plans in the event of an inspection, it is ultimately unnecessary and it is best to avoid it.
Chapter 617: Settlement Planning
Just as Feng Qing'er leaped out of the space channel and was having a seemingly routine question-and-answer session with the guards, a subtle spiritual fluctuation was quietly spreading from the space rift connecting the two worlds.
This fluctuation, like an invisible and intangible ripple, had silently penetrated into the depths of the guards' perception without the guards noticing, exerting a subtle but effective influence on their senses.
Within the space channel, Xiao Ling activated the Phantom Dream Spirit Shadow and accurately injected this mental power into the bodies of every guard of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.
He held his breath and carefully controlled the strength of the phantom dream, making sure that the guards would not become suspicious because of noticing anything unusual, while also making sure that they turned a blind eye to him.
Of course, with Xiao Ling's current mental strength, it is not a difficult task for him to use such means to achieve his goal against these Heavenly Demon Phoenix guards who are not good at soul matters.
After confirming that everything went smoothly and without any mistakes, Xiao Ling's figure flashed out from the space channel like a ghost and landed lightly beside Feng Qing'er.
Sure enough, under the clever effect of the Dream Shadow, the senses of the guards seemed to be covered by a veil, and they had no reaction to Xiao Ling's appearance.
Their eyes swept over Xiao Ling, but they seemed to ignore him, as if he was just air and did not exist in this space at all.
Even if someone occasionally looked over here, they would just glance past and not linger on Xiao Ling for even a second, let alone notice his existence.
Seeing that the guards had no reaction as expected, Xiao Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his keen intuition acquired through years of experience prevented him from taking it lightly.
He knew very well that the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan had a deep foundation and strict security, so it was inevitable that there would be some surveillance methods that he had not anticipated.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, Xiao Ling decided to play it safe and activate the power of space, immersing himself in the ripples of space.
As his mind moved, circles of subtle ripples appeared in the space around him. His figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely into the air.
In this way, even if there is some special detection method that can see through the disguise of the Dream Shadow, he has already made a second layer of insurance. As long as the observer's mastery of spatial power is inferior to his own, he will not be able to easily detect the abnormality. He has truly achieved the state of being unnoticed by anyone.
It’s not that Xiao Ling is too cautious, but in the face of unknown dangers, any negligence may lead to the loss of all previous efforts or even endanger his life.
Realizing that Xiao Ling had also jumped out of the space channel, Feng Qing'er knew it was time to leave.
She turned around and faced the guards. Her cold voice carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, but she said politely, "Indeed, I have gained some insights in my cultivation recently, and I need to go back and understand them carefully. I won't delay here any longer. The space passage here is safe, so I'll trouble you to keep an eye on it."
As she spoke, she nodded slightly, expressing her gratitude to the guards, but also with a hint of distant courtesy.
When the guards heard Feng Qing'er say this, they naturally did not dare to be negligent and quickly responded respectfully: "Miss Qing'er, you are too polite. Maintaining the safety of the space channel is our responsibility. Miss Qing'er, please go ahead. We will do our best." They also bowed slightly in response to Feng Qing'er's courtesy.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
Feng Qing'er didn't want to stay here any longer, and the guards also maintained due respect for this favored child of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.
Feng Qing'er said no more. She tapped the ground with her toes and her body soared into the sky like an elegant wild goose.
She was not in a hurry to speed up, but slowly rose into the air, emitting a faint light all over her body. As she gradually increased her speed, the light became more and more dazzling, and finally turned into a dazzling stream of light, cutting through the sky and flying towards the horizon.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling, who was hiding in the space, quietly activated the power of space and followed closely.
He carefully controlled his breath to avoid making too much noise and being noticed by others. At the same time, he kept a certain distance from Feng Qing'er, not losing her but not getting too close to her. This would also avoid being noticed by those who might be looking at him because of Feng Qing'er's appearance.
The two flew one after the other towards the core area of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, gradually going farther and farther away, and finally disappearing at the end of the sky. Only the guards were left, still stationed outside the space channel, performing their duties.
It must be said that Feng Qing'er was already somewhat famous among the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.
The outstanding potential she had previously shown in the clan, as well as the news of her recent breakthrough to the Dou Zun level, made her a leader among the younger generation in the clan.
At this moment, she was flying in the air, returning to her residence.
Along the way, they occasionally met members of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. They either stopped or greeted them from afar, and their attitudes were all extremely polite.
Even those elders who had reached the Dou Zun realm were all friendly when they saw her, with praise and expectations in their eyes.
What's worse, many young talents from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan even took the initiative to come forward and chat with them.
They either held their heads high or posed in coquettish ways, with the flattery and admiration in their eyes evident without any concealment.
However, in the face of all this enthusiasm, Feng Qing'er always maintained a cold attitude and didn't even give a glance.
However, since Feng Qing'er has a rather cold personality, especially towards the opposite sex, this would make other people notice how abnormal it is.
Warcraft were not good at soul power, so whenever someone approached or cast his gaze at him, Xiao Ling would secretly cast his Dream Shadow to interfere with their perception, and the effect was quite significant, without any surprises.
In addition, Xiao Ling's control over the power of space has reached perfection, and he can hide himself perfectly, making it even more difficult to detect the slightest abnormality.
In order not to reveal her flaws, Feng Qing'er did not return to her residence directly at the fastest speed, but maintained a normal posture and flew slowly.
She even greeted a few familiar tribesmen she met in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and exchanged a few simple pleasantries, as if everything was normal as usual.
Finally, she opened the protective barrier outside the island and landed on the floating island where she lived.
By the way, Feng Qing'er's residence in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is not actually located in a remote outskirts, but it is not in the core area either.
It's not that she couldn't choose a better place, it's actually her personal choice.
Although Feng Qing'er has broken through to the Dou Zun level, the Tian Yao Huang clan has a deep foundation and many talented people. She is still young and can only be regarded as a rising star among the younger generation.
With her talent and potential, it would not be difficult for her to apply for a more superior island with richer resources to practice in depth.
However, Feng Qing'er was a low-key person, not fond of publicity. Moreover, her cultivation journey was largely thanks to Xiao Ling's secret help, and there were quite a few secrets that she couldn't share with outsiders.
In order to avoid attracting attention and avoiding unnecessary trouble, she deliberately chose this relatively secluded island.
The island where Feng Qing'er lives is not an island, but it is more like a small floating mountain range.
The island is covered with green mountains and filled with spiritual energy. Mountain streams meander down like silver threads and finally merge into a lake in the center of the island.
The lake is crystal clear and there are several ancient sacred trees growing by the lake with lush branches and leaves that block out the sun.
On the edge of the island, several courtyards are scattered around, hidden among the flowers.
Although these courtyards are not luxurious, they are elegant in every way. They are exactly where Feng Qing'er practices and meditates on a daily basis.
The area of the island is not too large, but for Feng Qing'er, it is more than enough and enough for her to concentrate on her practice.
At this moment, Feng Qing'er has returned to her own courtyard.
She strolled in the courtyard, her eyes sweeping over the familiar scenery around her, her expression still maintaining a calm and composed look.
She did not speak directly to Xiao Ling in the void, but as usual, she first came to the stone table in the center of the courtyard, on which was placed a set of exquisite tea sets.
She boiled water, washed tea leaves and brewed tea by herself, and every movement was graceful and smooth.
After all, there is the possibility that there are special spies on this island. She must always be vigilant and cannot rule out the possibility of being spied on by others. Any unusual movement may expose Xiao Ling's existence.
Her communication with Xiao Ling must be extremely cautious, without any mistakes.
At this moment, a clear voice came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the island and interrupting Feng Qing'er's thoughts.
The voice rang directly in Feng Qing'er's sea of consciousness, clear and real.
"Qing'er, to prevent you from worrying too much, I have already carefully checked the island. There are no signs of tampering, and no one is lurking here to investigate. It seems that the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan still trusts you."
As soon as the words fell, there was a ripple in the void, as if the water surface was hit by a stone, and circles of fine ripples were created.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's figure slowly emerged, as if condensed from nothingness.
He stood quietly beside Feng Qing'er, his expression calm, looking at her gently.
When Feng Qing'er heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, like a petal blown by the breeze, causing an imperceptible ripple.
But in a flash, she returned to her usual calmness, like a still pond.
She slowly turned around, her eyes wandering to look at Xiao Ling, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a shallow arc, and at the same time she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Feng Qing'er naturally believed in Xiao Ling's methods. Xiao Ling's mysterious strength and endless trump cards had already left a deep impression on her.
