Chapter 1478 - 431: I Am Number One, the One Who Sang Love Songs with You under the Jujube Tree! (6k)

Suddenly, the space in front began to ripple, spreading out like water waves.

Immediately after, a figure slowly emerged from the void.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain white long robe, with his garment flowing elegantly. His face was refined and handsome, his eyebrows and eyes like a painting, with long silver-white hair casually tied with a red-gold hair ribbon.

The most striking feature was the golden phoenix-shaped mark at the center of his brow, shimmering with an eerie light under the sun.

He appeared to be just over thirty years old, yet exuded a deep, profound aura.

Vice Palace Master of the Celestial Phoenix Palace—Bai Fengyin.

He stood with hands behind his back, emitting a suffocating pressure all around him, clearly similar to Shen Canghai, both possessing the terrifying cultivation of the Late-stage Supreme Realm.

No, more accurately speaking, he seemed even stronger.

Shen Hanyi’s pupils suddenly contracted, exclaiming in shock, "Bai Fengyin... No, Senior Bai."

One palace, two temples, three sects, four clans, eight noble families.

The one palace, of course, refers to the Celestial Phoenix Palace.

As the oldest legacy in Nanhuang State, its name is intertwined with the state’s, demonstrating its profound heritage.

"You actually know me?" Bai Fengyin slightly raised the corner of his lips, revealing a meaningful smile, "Not bad, not bad..."

His voice was soft yet carried a biting chill, "No wonder you managed to steal the Inscription-level Divine Techniques from my Celestial Phoenix Palace."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanyi frowned immediately, speaking coldly, "What do you mean by that, senior? I’ve never been to the Celestial Phoenix Palace, let alone stealing any divine techniques!"

Zhou Qing stepped half a step forward, shielding Shen Hanyi better behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Bai, could there be some misunderstanding here? How could she possibly steal your Inscription-level Divine Techniques?"

Bai Fengyin’s gaze then shifted to Zhou Qing, observing him with interest: "Wasn’t it said that the Shen Family brought a Divinity Transformation Realm late-stage Array Master, who could condense thirty thousand Spirit Seals?"

He chuckled lightly, shaking his head, "How did it turn into a Mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm? This Shen Family truly isn’t honest at all."

Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi exchanged a glance, both seeing deep wariness in each other’s eyes.

The unexpected appearance of Celestial Phoenix Palace’s Vice Palace Master clearly indicated a hostile intention.

"Senior," Zhou Qing suppressed the unease in his heart, trying to keep his tone steady, "There must be a misunderstanding. We are currently repairing the Clan Protection Array, if senior would..."

"Repair?" Bai Fengyin interrupted him, eyes sweeping over the damaged Five-Color Restriction, a mocking curve forming on his lips, "Then you repair, I’ll watch."

Both unconsciously began circulating their Spiritual Power, ready for combat at any moment.

Seeing their hesitation, Bai Fengyin laughed lightly, "Tsk tsk, it seems the Shen Family used beauty schemes on you, Master."

His gaze lingered on Shen Hanyi’s breathtaking face, then looked at Zhou Qing, saying, "People go up, water flows downwards. Master, why not consider my Celestial Phoenix Palace?"

"Otherwise, even if you have skills, if life is lost, everything turns to void."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing suddenly understood, "Are you also invited by the Liu Family, senior?"

Bai Fengyin shook his head, leisurely taking an Imaging Stone from his Storage Bag, "No, just happened to be visiting the Yan Family. However..."

He activated the Imaging Stone, projecting a scene from it, "I’m very interested in this."

The scene showed the second stage of the Desolate Forbidden, with tens of thousands of mines.

Shen Hanyi was seen combating a forbidden creature, and behind her, a massive Blood Phoenix was let out a sky-shaking scream.

Red Feathers continuously shot out, with a vast amount of intricate inscriptions emerging around.

Shen Hanyi’s expression changed abruptly.

She had no idea when someone had secretly recorded her.

Zhou Qing felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Compared to the fragmentary Inscription-level Divine Technique contested by the Liu Family and Yan Family, Shen Hanyi’s "Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain" was the true Supreme Treasure.

If one could condense three thousand Phoenix Dao Patterns, it could even rival a Dao Trace Level Divine Technique.

Bai Fengyin’s eyes flickered with greed, "I think this looks very much like the Inscription-level Divine Technique stolen from my Celestial Phoenix Palace years ago."

He feigned confusion, tilting his head, "Though I don’t know its name, but look at this Blood Phoenix, clearly matches the name of my Celestial Phoenix Palace, right, girl?"

Their faces turned terribly grim.

These people from Celestial Phoenix Palace were blatantly coveting the Inscription-level Divine Technique in Shen Hanyi’s possession, fabricating false claims of theft, desiring to seize it by force!

"Senior," Zhou Qing suppressed his anger, voice turning cold, "Such a poor excuse, it’s too insulting."

Bai Fengyin was unfazed, smiling indifferently, a trace of cold malice flashing in his eyes, "Whether it’s an excuse, a mere soul search will tell?"

Before his words fell, he suddenly made his move!

"Boom—!"

The terrifying pressure of Late-stage Ultimate Venerable Realm erupted instantly, Bai Fengyin’s five fingers forming claws, palm condensing a red-gold rune, targeting Shen Hanyi’s brow!

"Zhou Qing, retreat!" Shen Hanyi shouted sternly, icy aura suddenly burst forth, frost forming a barrier attempting to block Bai Fengyin’s attack.

However, how could she easily resist the might of the Late-stage Ultimate Venerable Realm?

"Crack—!"

The frost barrier shattered instantly, Bai Fengyin’s claw was almost touching Shen Hanyi’s brow!

At this critical moment—

"Boom—!"

A terrifying Divine Technique descended from high above, crashing directly toward Bai Fengyin!

Bai Fengyin’s expression slightly changed, forced to withdraw his hand and retreat.

"Brother Bai, you’ve lived over ten thousand years, isn’t it disgraceful to attack two juniors?"

Shen Canghai’s voice came from above, laced with cold fury.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Qing grabbed Shen Hanyi’s wrist, his fingertips flickering with Purple Gold Thunder Light, about to tear space and escape.

His movements were as quick as lightning, the Space Law already in motion at his fingertips, with ripples appearing in the void.
