Heaven-defying Phoenix

It was a simple and not simple secret room. Nangong Xueji's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, his eyes blazing with fire as he sized up the old man in front of him.    

That old man had a tall stature and a hale face. Right now, his aura was like a raging river, vigorous and majestic.    

"Congratulations Master, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds!"    

Nangong Xueji said with a smile, his eyes full of arrogance.    

The old man stopped and laughed: "This time, I still need to thank Miss Nangong for his help.    

The old man sized Nangong Xueji up, his eyes full of praise and regret.    

Not long ago, when he found out that Nangong Xueji had become the Profound Opening Master, and even helped someone open thirty profound vein, he didn't hesitate to make an important promise and invited Nangong Xueji over to help him make another breakthrough.    

He did not expect that this woman had not disappointed him. With Nangong Xueji's help, not only had he already opened thirty profound vein s, his realm was also slightly affected. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he would have another breakthrough, how could he not be happy?    

"Master is too kind, all of these were caused by the Master's cultivation, I am just icing on the cake."    

Nangong Xueji smiled like a flower.    

Ever since it was revealed that he had already become a Profound Opening Master in the auction house, Nangong Xueji was like a fish in water.    

Cultivation genius is nothing, I am starting Profound Opening Master now, who in this world dares to offend me!    

Her heart was filled with pride, and she even felt endless joy.    

What made her even more happy was that by relying on the prescription that she stole from Jiu Muli, she had perfected it. Now, not only did she attract everyone's attention, she had even helped the old man in front of her to break through once again.    

She had no doubt that with the results of this trip, no one would dare doubt her, and her Profound Opening Master's name would be completely solid.    

When she thought of the key point, her eyes flashed with a meaningful sneer.    

The old man did not notice what Nangong Xueji was thinking, he laughed and said: "This old one is indeed grateful, but I do not know Miss Nangong, feel free to tell me anything."    

As one of the Master s of the three great sect s, the old man was naturally extremely generous when he spoke. Furthermore, he also wanted to build a good relationship with Nangong Xueji.    

How could Nangong Xueji not see through him? He immediately laughed: "I wonder if Master can promise me one thing?"    

"What is it? Tell me." The old man said very politely.    

"Help me get rid of someone." A cold light flashed across Nangong Xueji's eyes.    

"Oh?" The elder was stunned as he asked, "Who is it?" "What level of cultivation is that?"    

"Jiu Muli!"    

Nangong Xueji said indifferently. If Jiu Muli did not die, she would never be at ease, she might not even be able to protect her Profound Opening Master identity, not to mention that Jiu Muli had already fought with her, so she had to die!    

Although there were a lot of troubles in the world of cultivators, as long as one had sufficient strength, no one would dare to be disobedient when given the order. The iron law of being respected by the strong, allowed the Qin Kingdom to manage the entire Qin Kingdom with ease.    

Swoosh!    

From afar, a streak of light slowly floated towards the imperial palace. Its speed seemed extremely fast, but it still seemed very respectful.    

It was a woman. She was twenty years old, and was wearing a light green dress.    

"Star Feather greets royal father!"    

When the woman arrived at the palace, she respectfully greeted the emperor.    

"Oh, Xing Yu, you come back. Okay, okay!"    

When the Emperor saw the woman before him, his eyes couldn't help but light up, especially when he felt the aura from the woman's body. His expression was filled with joy.    

This woman was none other than the daughter born of him and the Liu Gui Fei, the Princess Xingyu.    

Yes, royal father. When I heard that Star God Pagoda was about to open, I came back specially to help. Princess Xingyu smiled indifferently, with a look of calmness.    

"Go see your mother first, she's always missing you."    

The Kaiser smiled amiably and continued to speak, "As for the matter with the Star God Pagoda, I will naturally be pleased if you have the heart. Whatever, I will pass down the order to hold a banquet in a while to welcome you back."    

"Thank you, royal father, for your kindness." Princess Xingyu's smile became brighter and brighter, his slender eyes squinted into a slit.    

Immersed in his cultivation, Jiu Muli lost track of time and did not care about external affairs. The entire Jiuhua Hall seemed extremely calm, but in the end, it was interrupted by Qin Zheng.    

"Xingyu is back. royal father is going to hold the Hibiscus Banquet and let you come with me."    

Without waiting for Jiu Muli to ask, Qin Zheng spoke indifferently.    

Jiu Muli was startled when he heard it, and said while frowning: "What kind of thing is the Hibiscus Banquet, why do you want me to go? I'm not free, you can go by yourself. "    

She was cultivating at her best right now, but she didn't expect to be disturbed so suddenly. For a moment, she was very agitated. She didn't have the mood to attend any banquets, not to mention that whatever Star Feather, she didn't know nor was she interested in him.    

Qin Zheng raised his brows, and said: "Star Feather is royal father's most beloved daughter, and right now, he has just returned from the outside world. royal father has already planned to hold a banquet to invite many young talents, and the one who gave the decree is still outside.    

"Can you still cultivate properly!"    

Jiu Muli scolded angrily, but thinking that the Kaiser had been very courteous to her previously, she broke a crystal for testing talent, and for a moment she was unable to speak, not to mention the face of the Kaiser, no matter how displeased she was, she still had to give it to him.    

"I'll go later." Seeing that Jiu Muli did not reject, Qin Zheng's tone became slightly better.    

Naturally, he had to go, but if he had Jiu Muli with him, he would be even more willing.    

"Alright!"    

Jiu Muli nodded indifferently, then suddenly asked, "Wait, the Star Feather you're talking about, is it the Princess Xingyu? the daughter of the Liu Gui Fei? "    

"Right." Qin Zheng nodded his head. Then, he remembered that there were still grudges between Jiu Muli and Liu Gui Fei, and his expression turned cold for a moment.    

"Call me when the time comes."    

She had enmity with Liu Gui Fei, since Princess Xingyu was his daughter, then there would definitely be trouble, and this would give her a headache.    

"I've offended the Liu Gui Fei, and I've even offended the Princess Xingyue. Now that Star Feather appeared, it's normal for not a single one of this Kaiser's children to appear."    

Jiu Muli cursed in his heart, as he felt that this banquet would be extremely disadvantageous to her.    

She was not afraid of the Liu Gui Fei, but this inexplicable trouble would easily disrupt her cultivation.    

There was nothing he could do.    

In the end, she had to swallow the depression in her heart.    

The moon was setting in the western mountains, and the sky was overcast.    

Jiu Muli followed Qin Zheng, and slowly arrived at the back garden of the imperial palace, and walked towards the location of the Hibiscus Banquet.    

From a distance, she could hear the entire crowd. It was clear that many people were talking loudly, making her feel even more irritated. In her past life, she had disdained such hypocritical social interaction, and now, she was even more unimpressed.    

Without cultivation, no matter how popular one was, it was useless. If one's cultivation was sufficient, there was no need for them to socialize and others would just obediently deliver the benefits to them.    

However, with the current situation, she could not retreat. Even if she was willing, Qin Zheng was still by her side, she would not have the chance to run.    

When she and Qin Zheng appeared in front of everyone, the loud chattering voices suddenly quietened down.    

It was not because of Jiu Muli, but because of Qin Zheng. This guy was someone who would take someone's life if he did not agree with them. In front of Qin Zheng, all the young masters of the aristocratic families weakened, no longer daring to act presumptuously.    

With a cold and detached face, Qin Zheng pulled Jiu Muli straight toward the second seat.    

She did not want to stand out too much, but Qin Zheng had always been staring at her with his domineering gaze, so in desperation, she had no choice but to sit beside Qin Zheng.    

With a quick glance, she could see that most of the people seated, were youths with quite a high cultivation level and an extremely prominent identity. Presumably, they were the young talents mentioned by Kaiser.    

Unfortunately, she didn't recognize any of these people. From the way they were dressed, it seemed to be the symbol of some aristocratic families. As for the rest, she had no impression of them.    

Just at that moment, Jiu Muli suddenly felt a chill, he turned his head and looked to his side, immediately seeing Prince Zheng.    

"This lunatic."    

When he touched Prince Zheng's gaze and felt that Prince Zheng's eyes were filled with greed and desire, he could not help but feel a wave of chill, and a thick killing intent suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.    

Courting death!    

Jiu Muli's gaze instantly turned ice-cold, and she forced out her boundless killing intent without hesitation.    

The look in Prince Zheng's eyes made her feel an unprecedented sense of disgust!    

When the Prince Zheng saw this, his aura paused, and he turned to look at the side.    

"Humph!" Incompetent and cowardly! "    

Jiu Muli laughed coldly, she was currently in a very bad mood, if Prince Zheng dared to look at her again, she would definitely attack without hesitation.    

Who cares what kind of situation he was in, she really wanted to kill him right now!    

Sensing Jiu Muli's abnormality, Qin Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold. However, before he could think about it further, the Emperor and the Liu Gui Fei slowly came over.    

Following the arrival of the Kaiser, the main character and Princess Xingyu, who followed closely behind the banquet, also came.    

Jiu Muli curiously looked at Princess Xingyu and discovered that she had a pretty good figure. It was a pity that she had a harsh face, especially when her thin lips were pursed into slits, which made her look even more mean and crafty.    

Following closely behind the Princess Xingyu was the younger Princess Xingyue. The Princess Xingyue had been tormented by Jiu Muli quite a bit, but now that his enemies met, his eyes turned red, and he glared fiercely at Jiu Muli from afar.    

Jiu Muli didn't pay attention to this matter. She didn't even have the heart to care about small fish and small prawns.    

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine!"    

All of the young talents saluted the Kaiser one after another. When the Kaiser saw this, he was overjoyed and laughed: "Everyone, there is no need to be so courteous, there are no rules today."    

The dignity of the youths all relaxed on the surface, and most of them looked towards the Princess Xingyu with fiery eyes.    

After all, the Princess Xingyu had been cultivating outside the entire time, and it was said that his talent was even higher than Jiu Tianxue's.
