Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Crown Prince Hides in the Mountain

”Turn!”

Ling Xiao’s pupils suddenly contracted, releasing a powerful soul power that seemingly twisted space.

No, it genuinely twisted.

Peacock Phoenix Kong He had been charging straight at him, but as he drew near, he noticeably took a detour and passed over his head.

To the unknowing, it might seem as if the Peacock Phoenix didn’t want to harm him.

Only Ling Xiao and those nearby like Victoria Mingkong understood what had happened.

Peacock Phoenix Kong He glanced back at Ling Xiao with eyes conveying annoyance and surprise.

But he soon turned and flew away.

On the Phoenix God Continent, the clans differ from the Human Race; they can fly shortly after birth.

Of course, they need to transform into bird forms to fly, and only when their cultivation level reaches the Heavenly Man Realm can they gradually fly in their semi-human forms.

This is where they have an advantage over the humans of the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

However, there’s nothing special during combat; the bloodline power is very similar to the Martial Soul.

In fact, human Martial Souls were created by the King of People, inspired by the Demon Race’s bloodline power and could even be said to surpass it.

After all, the versatility of the Martial Soul is a step ahead of bloodline power.

”Peacock Phoenix certainly carries an impressive presence, deserving his top ten ranking in the Chu Feng Class; both his strength and momentum are top-notch!”

The crowd watched as the Peacock Phoenix departed, filled with envy.

In the Mysterious World, martial prowess is revered.

Thus, members of any clan pride themselves on possessing great strength.

Powerful martial artists are revered wherever they go.

”Kong He, I disdain to compete in speed; otherwise, your Peacock Clan wouldn’t stand a chance against our Thunderhawk Clan.”

Right as the Peacock Phoenix entered the city, a figure mingled with thunder and lightning darted past, startling the crowd into covering their ears.

It was truly like a thunderclap.

On the Phoenix God Continent, only the top ten experts ranked on the Chu Feng Class are entitled to be called ”Phoenix Sons.”

Among these Ten Great Phoenix Children, the Fire Phoenix Clan and Ice Phoenix Clan each hold two spots, the Dark Phoenix Clan also has two, and the remaining Peacock Clan, Thunderhawk Clan, Roc Clan, and Vermilion Bird Clan each hold one.

The Dark Phoenix Clan holds a unique position on the Phoenix God Continent.

They once attempted a rebellion and were defeated, subsequently stripped of their eligibility to compete for the title of Emperor.

Thus, when mentioning the Phoenix Clan, most people know of the Fire Phoenix Clan and Ice Phoenix Clan, but are less aware of the reclusive Dark Phoenix Clan.

”I heard there’s been a major incident on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, and with the Emperor’s re-election approaching, all Ten Great Phoenix Children have arrived at the Imperial City, making things lively.”

”Yes indeed, I just heard that a formidable youth appeared at a clothing store outside, and even beat Feng Yanran from the Chu Feng Class of Qingxu College.”

”Not only that, but they also crippled a young lady from the Phoenix Clan.”

”That powerful?”

”Absolutely, he must be someone significant. It’s going to be very lively in the Imperial City for a while; we’ve come at the right time.”

Hearing these comments, Ling Xiao merely smiled subtly.

Although the Ten Great Phoenix Children are considerably stronger than the Twenty Heavenly Prides of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, Victoria Mingkong and he, along with Qin Bi Xue, Mo Wu Shang, Bai Qianjiao, Hong Li, and Joshua Long, definitely qualified to compete with them.

Especially he and Victoria Mingkong, contesting a spot as a Phoenix Son was not out of the question.

”Let’s keep moving.”

Experiencing the power of the Peacock Phoenix and the Thunderhawk Princess, Ling Xiao’s heart suddenly filled with a surge of fighting spirit.

Right now, he wasn’t a match for those two, but that could change after a while.

...

At this moment inside the Imperial Palace.

This is the power core of the Phoenix God Empire, and even the entire Divine Phoenix Continent.

Although the Phoenix God Empire had not yet unified the Divine Phoenix Continent, they were undoubtedly the strongest and largest nation there. The surrounding smaller nations essentially had to pay tribute and give ceremonial greetings to them.

The Imperial Palace could be considered a city within a city.

Its grandeur and vastness were somewhat stronger than those of both the Inner City and Outer City.

The constantly ascending king’s momentum let one know at a glance who resided there.

The security within the Imperial Palace was extremely tight, and the strength of the guards made it very difficult for ordinary Martial Artists to infiltrate—indeed, harder than reaching the heavens.

The Imperial Palace was divided into the Fire Phoenix Palace, Ice Phoenix Palace, Emperor’s Palace, and the Rear Palace.

Naturally residing in the Fire Phoenix Palace and Ice Phoenix Palace were the two Crown Princes, whom might possibly succeed as the Emperor—Feng Yingshan and Fengming Qishan.

The safety of the Crown Princes was of utmost importance.

It was rumored that each of these two palaces had a thousand layers of defensive measures, visible and hidden. Wanting to bypass these numerous checkpoints to reach the core was truly not an easy feat.

At this time in the Fire Phoenix Palace, Feng Yingshan was sitting before his desk, reviewing some memorials.

His seemingly ordinary attire and gentle appearance made this Crown Prince seem very approachable.

However, in his eyes shone wisdom and depth, seemingly able to see through everything with just one glance.

The somewhat challenging problems in the memorials were easily resolved under his intelligence.

According to the rules of the Phoenix God Empire, some memorials that did not touch on the foundation of the nation could be reviewed by the two Crown Princes, thus preparing them to become Emperor.

But not touching on the foundation of the nation did not mean they were simple—many trivial matters were even more troublesome to handle.

This too was a test of the Crown Princes’ abilities.

At that moment, a fragrant breeze wafted in from outside the door, causing Feng Yingshan to slightly furrow his brows, then soon after, he revealed a hint of a smile.

Creak, the door was pushed open directly.

A woman walked in from outside, and that fragrant breeze came from her.

Feng Yingshan looked up and smiled gently, as comfortable as a spring breeze.

”Hidden Mountain Brother, you must stand up for me!”

The woman, upon entering, said indignantly with her hands on her hips.

This woman was Feng Yanran.

At this moment, she had none of her usual elegance and dignity; instead, she resembled the girl next door.

”Sit down first and tell me, who dared to offend our little princess? Was it Peacock Phoenix Kong He or Thunderhawk Princess? They just arrived in the Imperial City today, and you went out to play outside the city again. They didn’t really bully you, did they?”

Feng Yingshan smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and raised his head to look at Feng Yanran.

”Not at all!”

In front of her cousin Feng Yingshan, Feng Yanran seemed like a completely different person, even her personality seemed changed, probably because they were really close.

”Oh? Did your brother guess wrong?”

Feng Yingshan was somewhat surprised.

He usually had a good grasp of everything big and small inside and outside the Imperial City.

About the arrival today of Kong He and Thunderhawk Princess, he had known since a few days ago.

Could there be something he didn’t know?

Unless it had just happened and his informants hadn’t had a chance to report yet.

”Hidden Mountain Brother, you are impressive, but you definitely couldn’t guess this one—it’s related to some escapee Martial Artists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent.”

Feng Yanran said with a smile.
