Chapter 412: The Two-Layered Body of the ancient prison-suppressing tower

At the banquet, cups were clinking, and sounds of congratulations rose one after another, never ceasing.

Whenever anyone from the Phoenix clan raised their glass, they would offer a toast to Qin Xuan, accompanied by a compliment.

After three rounds of drinks and tasting the dishes,

Feng Yao's small hands had been caressed by Qin Xuan until they were flushed with a reddish glow, crystal clear, almost as if they had been polished to a high sheen.

Hearing too many compliments also became irritating.

Qin Xuan's ears were almost calloused from listening, so he let go of Feng Yao's small hand and casually cupped his hands, saying, "I appreciate the warm invitation from the Phoenix clan, but having just arrived at the Hongmeng Continent, I lost contact with some friends and need to go find them. I will not intrude here any longer."

The Great Elder of the Feng Clan spilled the immortal brew in his glass all over the floor, his hand trembling in shock as he said, "Is Young Master Qin planning to leave?"

First Elder Feng Qian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "Young Master Qin has just experienced a great battle; it would be better to rest in our Phoenix clan for a few days before heading out to search."

"Furthermore, although our Phoenix clan has declined, if it is only to find some people in the Hongmeng Continent, we are still capable enough to set Young Master Qin's mind at ease."

Are you kidding me? First Elder Feng Qian complained furiously in his heart.

His daughter's hands had been played with until they were polished smooth.

And Qin Xuan wanted to leave now?

Why did it feel like he was wiping his mouth clean after eating and refusing to pay the bill?

His Phoenix clan certainly didn't dare to mention marriage at this moment; with the Blood Fairy's rejection, they dared not offend this existence who could slay the great demon Luosang with three sword strikes.

But just because they were afraid didn't mean Qin Xuan was!

If all else failed, they didn't have to hold the wedding first; making it a done deal would also work!

They had eaten the banquet and touched the hands, surely he should give their Phoenix clan some guarantee?

If he just up and left without acknowledging anything, the Phoenix clan would feel uneasy.

If Qin Xuan left the Phoenix clan now, they didn't know when he would return. The Phoenix clan could still converse with Qin Xuan now, but once Qin Xuan also broke through to the Heavenly God Realm like Heavenly God Lin Yuan,

they estimated that only those at the Lord Level, or perhaps the Supreme level, would be qualified to interact with Qin Xuan as peers.

This was their one chance.

If they couldn't grasp it, the hope for his Phoenix clan to rise again would be unimaginably slim.

"I have some other matters to attend to, and I need to return to Feng Yao's boudoir with her. As for the portraits of the people I'm looking for, I will have Feng Yao give them to you later. I must trouble you Seniors."

He couldn't keep track of everyone by himself. Anyway, the Phoenix clan had plenty of people; Qin Xuan was naturally happy to have the Phoenix clan help him find people.

After saying this, Qin Xuan took Feng Yao's small hand and, in front of all the powerful figures of the Phoenix clan, left in a hurry without looking back.

The Great Elder of the Feng Clan breathed a sigh of relief and said, feeling relieved, "After all, he is a young man, full of vigor and vitality. Feng Yao is one of the few beauties in our Phoenix clan. A beauty paired with a hero—truly a perfect match!"

Qin Xuan's departure meant the Blood Fairy had also gone far away. Only then did the group of powerful figures from the Phoenix clan dare to thank First Elder Feng Qian, "Third Elder, congratulations! From now on, your lineage has Young Master Qin's protection; you can be considered the lineage with the most formidable background in our Phoenix clan!"

"In the future, we other branches hope that the Third Elder will look after us."

"Young Master Qin's strength has already broken the limit of the Emperor Realm. If he does not carry the Human Emperor's Legacy, he must surely be the Reincarnation of the Human Emperor. I do not believe that an existence like the Human Emperor would truly be beaten to the point where his Divine Soul is destroyed and completely annihilated in the River of Fate by The Nine Supremes."

"Furthermore, in that battle, the Human Emperor's key subordinate intentionally split off a piece of land from the Hongmeng Continent and imprinted thousands of Great Dao Laws upon it. I suspect that everything he did was to provide time and space for the Reincarnation of the Human Emperor to recuperate!"

A powerful figure from the Phoenix clan had an increasingly brilliant light in his eyes. When he looked at First Elder Feng Qian, he was incredibly respectful, "If it really is the Human Emperor returning, Third Elder, you would be a royal relative without a doubt. Even in the Peak period of our Phoenix clan, it would not be as noble as your status as the Human Emperor's father-in-Law!"

At the height of the Phoenix clan's power, the Ancestor Phoenix was merely a subject under the Human Emperor.

How could that compare to being a royal relative?

The Third Elder grinned from ear to ear, "It's not as exaggerated as you all say."

"Besides, aren't I, First Elder Feng Qian, and my daughter both of the Phoenix clan's Bloodline? Our lineage's status has risen, so how could we just sit by and watch the Phoenix clan decline?"

The Great Elder of the Feng Clan took out the Phoenix clan scepter that symbolized status and handed it to First Elder Feng Qian, saying, "From now on, you shall be the leader of the Phoenix clan."

This scepter was forged from the most essential part of the parasol tree where the Ancestor Phoenix rested, symbolizing the leadership position of the Phoenix clan.

Struggles for leadership within the Phoenix clan would often stir up bloody storms.

The Great Elder of the Feng Clan handed over the scepter without hesitation at this moment.

He was betting the entire future of the Phoenix clan on Qin Xuan.

The Residual Soul of the Ancestor Phoenix had already perished, and his Phoenix clan had no more trump cards.

If they didn't burn their bridges and commit to this, they would surely end up like the Heavenly Horned Ant, a Vicious Beast race that had already been annihilated and completely disappeared into the long river of time.

"Grand Elder, isn't this a bit too much like child's play?"

"Although my son-in-Law is strong, he hasn't fully grown yet."

"And no one knows for sure if he is really the Reincarnation of the Human Emperor. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. You are putting a lot of pressure on me."

While First Elder Feng Qian said words of refusal, his hands were tightly gripping the Grand Elder's scepter, pulling it into his grasp, his smile becoming even brighter, "However, since the Grand Elder has so warmly invited me, I, First Elder Feng Qian, can only accept this with humility despite feeling unworthy!"

Back in the room, Feng Yao found it difficult to take a step. Her two small hands hung in front of her lower abdomen, fingers tightly clasped, her fingertips turning slightly white from the pressure.

She was dressed in a bright red gown, and such a vibrant outfit, when worn by Feng Yao, not only didn't look tacky but instead made her skin appear even fairer and more crystal clear.

Moreover, her Phoenix clan Bloodline caused the patterns on her gown to slowly flow, like leaping flames.

Unconsciously, it made her already exquisite and curvaceous figure appear even hotter and more scorching under the lingering glow of the firelight.

"Qin Xuan, is it really okay for us to be like this?"

Feng Yao bit her luscious, dripping-wet lips, looked up at Qin Xuan, and tentatively said in a soft voice, "It's not even night time yet, and in front of such a large crowd, you were so impatient. Given the personalities of those old perverts in my Phoenix clan, I don't know if they might be eavesdropping."

"If they really heard something, how will I be able to face anyone in the future?"

Her ten fingers gripped even tighter, and she glanced at Qin Xuan again, afraid he would be angry, then gathered her courage and said softly, "If you are truly willing to become my Dao Companion, can we wait until we leave the Phoenix clan?"

"As long as we don't let that bunch of old perverts hear anything, if you are willing, I will follow your lead."

Uh— Qin Xuan looked at Feng Yao, who was busy overthinking things, opened his mouth, but in the end, didn't say anything.

Actually, he came here only for the tower body of the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

The current grade of the ancient prison-suppressing tower couldn't even compare to the Human Emperor's Halberd.

He was naturally impatient to upgrade the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

But the Feng Yao right now had clearly misunderstood.

Let her misunderstand!

As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of a bargain, you're an idiot!

Qin Xuan scooped up Feng Yao's lithe, delicate body and strode towards the prepared bright red wedding bed with confident, powerful steps.

Feng Yao wrapped her arms around Qin Xuan's neck, murmuring both shyly and fearfully, "There are people around~"

"It doesn't matter!"

Qin Xuan waved his hand, and the ancient prison-suppressing tower shot out, acting like the eye of a barrier formation, enveloping the entire boudoir within it.

Hiss— Before Feng Yao could even verify the strength of this barrier, she gasped in fear.

She was terrified, her mind completely blank.

It was unbelievable.

It was simply like a dream.

As a member of the Phoenix clan who was reborn from the fire, she, Feng Yao, had actually been scorched!
