Hua Tianzhao slammed his right hand on the table, the loud noise silencing everyone below. They all looked at Hua Tianzhao with fear on their faces.
Hua Tianzhao had a gloomy face all along, but after a while he suddenly laughed, as if nothing had happened. He smiled and introduced the two people to the audience: "Come, come, let me tell you who these two are."
"These two people are Feng Fei, the former ruler of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and Yuan Jue, the mastermind behind the destruction of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, who is also the Grand Preceptor of the White Tiger Kingdom, Mr. Yue. Mr. Yue's master was once an emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom, and his junior sister is Bai Zhi, the current ruler of the White Tiger Kingdom."
The audience erupted in uproar.
It's unbelievable that the deposed empress of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom would be with the leader who caused the kingdom's downfall.
Chapter 43 Escape
This time, Hua Tianzhao did not stop the noise from the crowd below the stage. He simply let them discuss among themselves and enjoyed the disdain, doubt, or contempt in their eyes as they looked at Feng Fei and Yuan Jue.
Feng Fei and Yuan Jue, however, remained unmoved.
"Hua Tianzhao, I have fulfilled your request." Feng Fei stared intently at Hua Tianzhao. If Hua Tianzhao were to go back on her word, she would immediately retaliate. However, Feng Fei hoped that Hua Tianzhao would keep her promise, because their preparations were not yet sufficient, and they had not anticipated that she and Yuan Jue would be captured by Hua Tianzhao.
"Oh? But this is clearly just a game," Hua Tianzhao said listlessly, leaning against the table as if she wanted to go back on her words.
The audience gradually quieted down as they watched Feng Fei and Hua Tianzhao converse.
"I set up this game, so I set the rules. The previous rules were the previous ones, but this is not the same as before. Do you think I would still use the previous rules? That's ridiculous." Hua Tianzhao brazenly went back on his word. Although Feng Fei was mentally prepared beforehand, he still couldn't help but feel very disappointed when he received such a result.
The people in the audience all stared wide-eyed, never expecting that Hua Tianzhao would disregard the rules so blatantly, even the rules he himself had set.
Feng Fei had already guessed that Hua Tianzhao would refuse to fulfill his promise, so he didn't show much surprise on his face. He just stared at Hua Tianzhao intently, in case Hua Tianzhao suddenly made a move.
Hua Tianzhao stared intently at Feng Fei, as if trying to discern something. After a long while, she let out a long sigh: "I never imagined that Feng Yi would have methods I didn't even know about. It seems she's really wary of all of us."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Fei felt the air in front of her distort. Just when Feng Fei thought something was about to happen, she found Feng Yi suddenly appearing between her and Hua Tianzhao.
"Feng Wu," Feng Yi called out to Hua Tianzhao, then paused, seemingly thinking about something, before continuing after a while, "I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions."
Unaware of what Feng Yi's words had offended Hua Tianzhao, she immediately retorted sharply, "My ambition is great? Hahaha, how laughable! If it weren't for that constant news about the continent being destroyed and needing someone to save it, why would I be like this?"
Hua Tianzhao's hysteria was not interrupted by the panicked people in the audience who suddenly heard her words: "When I was in power, you did not comfort my panicked heart at all. All I knew were those overwhelming rumors! If I hadn't grown up so quickly, how could I have become the Fifth Phoenix of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom? But do you know what the price of my growth was? No, you don't know any of it!"
"How could you possibly know? You were all perfectly fine in Nirvana Valley, while I faced everything alone. Has anyone ever asked my wishes? Since you want us to be empresses, then I will do it!" At this point, Hua Tianzhao's face suddenly twisted into a ferocious expression. "I will be a good empress! I will make this world mine! What's the point of just being empress for a short time? If I'm going to do it, I'll do it for many lifetimes."
"I secretly made arrangements to make those people my stepping stones for my future rebirth. Everyone should sacrifice themselves for this purpose! But after so many years of hard work, I still couldn't avoid returning to Nirvana Valley! I will never give up. How could I be the kind of person who gives up easily? The people I prepared are always waiting for me to come back to this world. And I also have a magical artifact that can help me escape Nirvana Valley or the Nirvana Ring. I have been waiting silently. Just when I thought there was no chance, I met this little girl."
Hua Tianzhao pointed at Feng Fei, still hysterical: "It's this inexplicable little girl! When she came to Nirvana Valley, despite being only twelve years old, you claimed she was the only one who could save the Vermilion Bird Kingdom from its crisis! This little girl knows nothing of the secrets, doesn't even know how to circulate spiritual energy, or how to fight ferocious beasts. How could she possibly save us from this crisis? You'd rather believe in such a powerless girl, yet you give me no chance whatsoever! You completely deprive me of the opportunity to dominate the continent! I hate all of you! I hate! I hate! I hate!"
Hua Tianzhao roared to the sky, and Feng Yi's face turned extremely pale. She never imagined that Feng Wu, who had always silently followed behind her and was not good with words, would have such ambition, let alone be so heartless as to use so many lives just for this so-called rebirth.
Everyone was stunned, staring at Hua Tianzhao's crazed expression, and for a moment they were at a loss.
Just then, catching everyone off guard, Hua Tianzhao suddenly waved her hands, and the entire courtyard was instantly enveloped in pink mist. While everyone was cautiously watching these pink wisps, Hua Tianzhao suddenly grabbed the nearest phoenix and leaped away quickly.
Everyone was caught off guard. Yuan Jue stared furiously in the direction Feng Fei was taken away, feeling extremely resentful that he had once again let Feng Fei be taken away right before his eyes.
The moment Feng Fei's body floated up, Feng Yi returned to the ring without anyone noticing, and left Feng San inside the ring to resolve the predicament facing Ming Feng and the others.
The moment Feng San stayed behind, she knew she was there to sacrifice herself.
As soon as Feng San appeared, he began to use his powers to dispel the pink gas. However, several methods he tried had almost no effect. Finally, he gritted his teeth and gave Ming Feng a few instructions. After Ming Feng and everyone else had retreated slightly, he then used his powers.
Not far after they had gone, Mingfeng suddenly turned around and saw a dazzling burst of light shooting out of the sky. As the light slowly dissipated, he smelled the disappearance of Feng San's aura.
Feng San used her last breath to save the lives of everyone present.
At this moment, Yuan Jue had no energy to care about the lives of others. If it weren't for Feng San's request, he would never have helped Ming Feng evacuate the crowd. After everyone left, he couldn't help but want to take Ming Feng to chase after Feng Fei, but Ming Feng stopped him.
“If we just go like this, we definitely won’t be able to help in any way. The two of us alone probably won’t be able to stop Hua Tianzhao.” Mingfeng spoke very softly, but the certainty in her voice made Yuanjue gradually calm down.
Yuan Jue knew that their rash actions would only worsen Feng Fei's situation, but he couldn't control himself. After all, Feng Fei had been kidnapped in front of him multiple times, which had almost become a hindrance to Yuan Jue. It was precisely because of this that Yuan Jue became agitated and lost his composure the moment Feng Fei was taken away by Hua Tianzhao.
However, Yuan Jue has gradually calmed down. He knows that rushing into battle will not yield good results, so he needs to plan each step carefully to ensure a safe outcome.
"In that case, you and Jin Ming will lead our five elite forces to surround Nirvana Valley, while I will go in to gather information."
"Then what about your safety?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I always have some trump cards up my sleeve. Besides, I also have a group of elite troops!" As he said this, Yuan Jue's eyes gleamed with excitement.
At this moment, Mingfeng also remembered the group of soldiers they had painstakingly trained in Fengye City, who still hadn't had a chance to show their skills.
After Yuanjue and Mingfeng made their decision, they each led their troops to Nirvana Valley. However, Fengfei's situation was not good after being kidnapped by Hua Tianzhao.
However, Hua Tianzhao had lost control of her emotions. In her instinctive act of grabbing Feng Fei, the violent aura within Hua Tianzhao instantly seeped into Feng Fei's body. Although Feng Fei had previously untied the spirit-binding chains from Yuan Jue, to avoid Hua Tianzhao's notice, she had a small portion of the chains attached to Yuan Jue, making him appear bound, while the rest remained wrapped around herself. Because of this, when Hua Tianzhao intercepted her, the spirit-binding chains were still on Feng Fei's body. With Hua Tianzhao's rapid movement, she was unable to untie the remaining chains binding her, making the flow of spiritual energy within Feng Fei extremely difficult.
Feng Fei's spiritual energy was only resisting Hua Tianzhao's violent spiritual energy intrusion through its own instincts, but without Feng Fei's guidance, it was steadily retreating. The meridians within Feng Fei's body were severely damaged by this violent spiritual energy. These injuries and pains tormented Feng Fei constantly, but she was unable to mount an effective resistance. The pain continued to torment her, and Feng Fei's consciousness slowly began to dissipate.
Even as Feng Fei's consciousness slowly faded, the pain continued to torment him. Feng Fei had fallen into a coma, but his body twitched intermittently, indicating that he was suffering immense pain.
However, Hua Tianzhao would never consider Feng Fei's feelings; she only wanted to head straight to Nirvana Valley.
With Hua Tianzhao giving it her all, she quickly brought Feng Fei to the skies above Nirvana Valley.
"Hahahaha, even if you, Feng Yi, try to stop me, what can you do! I still managed to escape! I will personally kill Feng Fei here, and you will watch your so-called hope be shattered before your eyes! As for those few people in Nirvana Valley, hmph." Hua Tianzhao's expression was still somewhat ferocious, but at this moment he seemed to have returned to normal.
Although Feng Yi returned to the ring and followed Feng Fei to Nirvana Valley when no one was paying attention, she did not react to Hua Tianzhao's words. Currently, Hua Tianzhao does not have the ability to open Nirvana Valley. Opening Nirvana Valley still depends on Feng Fei, so Feng Fei is not in immediate danger.
