What!
Yang Qi's expression changed. Someone actually took the Ancient Phoenix Essence away. The Ancient Phoenix Essence was the most precious treasure of the Feng family. It was undoubtedly the safest place to leave it in the Feng family. Why did they leave it in the safest place instead of taking the Ancient Phoenix Essence away
And what a coincidence, he left just when the city guards were coming to punish him
"It seems that someone has already noticed our plan." Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
The Feng family's strong men suddenly left with the Ancient Phoenix Essence at this time. They probably guessed that someone was eyeing the Ancient Phoenix Essence. The Feng family was quite powerful and had deep roots in the Nanyan Ancient City. The only thing that could make people tempted to plot against the Feng family was a treasure like the Ancient Phoenix Essence.
Since they had already guessed that the person behind the scenes was interested in the Ancient Phoenix Essence, taking the Ancient Phoenix Essence away would actually better ensure its safety. However, the Feng family's top brass never dreamed that Feng Yan could sense the Ancient Phoenix Essence.
“Even if the Feng family notices something, I will definitely get the Ancient Phoenix Essence.” A gleam of light flashed in Feng Yan’s eyes.
Before she finished her words, Feng Yan was already preparing to rush towards the location where the ancient phoenix essence left.
"Wait a minute." Seeing Feng Yan trying to catch up, Yang Qi hurriedly called Feng Yan and asked, "Could this be a trap?"
Although leaving with the Ancient Phoenix Essence was a good way to ensure safety, it could also be a trap deliberately set by the Feng family to lure him and Feng Yan out and solve the trouble at the source.
“My perception cannot be wrong. The ancient phoenix essence is indeed leaving the Feng family.” Feng Yan said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not saying that the Ancient Phoenix Essence is fake, but will the Feng family use the Ancient Phoenix Essence to lure us out?"
"Isn't this better? Our original plan was to let the city guards hold back the other members of the Feng family, and then sneak into the Feng family to snatch the Ancient Phoenix Essence. Now that the strong men of the Feng family have left with the Ancient Phoenix Essence, doesn't this fit in with our previous plan?" Feng Yan said lightly.
this…
Yang Qi was stunned. Feng Yan's words reminded him of their original intention of attacking the city guards' base. Wasn't it because they hoped that no other practitioners from the Feng family would stop them when they tried to snatch the ancient phoenix essence
At this time, the strong men of the Feng family took the ancient phoenix essence away, which was exactly what they wanted.
"Observe for a while before taking action." Yang Qi pondered for a moment before speaking.
Feng Yan nodded without comment, and then the two of them quietly left the crowd and headed in the direction where the ancient phoenix essence had left.
"Feng Qingyang!"
When Yang Qi and the other person were leaving, a deafening roar was heard behind them. It turned out that hundreds of city guards had arrived at the gate of the Feng family.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
More than ten figures flew out from the Feng family's territory. Each of them had the strength of a Martial Honored One. Although the Feng family suffered a heavy loss of mid-level Martial Honored Ones, the number of low-level Martial Honored Ones was still considerable.
"I already know the purpose of General Yu's visit. Please come into the Feng family for a chat." Feng Qingyang looked at the leading armored soldier and spoke.
Although the Feng family decided to reconcile, with the pride that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, it was impossible for them to surrender to the city guards in front of countless practitioners.
Hearing this, several armored soldiers in front of the city guards were slightly stunned. They thought that the Feng family would make a tough excuse, but they didn't expect that the head of the Feng family would directly invite them into the Feng family. For a moment, they were a little unsure and couldn't guess what the Feng family was planning.
"General Yu, don't you dare?" Feng Qingyang said with a faint smile.
"Why not? I don't think your Feng family can do anything else." The armored soldier smiled coldly. If the Feng family invited them into the Feng family's territory and kept them, then the Feng family would be really finished, and even their reputation would be ruined. By then, it would not be the Great Zhou Empire, and they would probably not have a place to stand in the Zichen Continent.
Following the words of the armored soldier, several leaders of the city guards, led by the children of the Feng family, disappeared into the Feng family.
"What's going on?"
"The Feng family is not going to give in, right?"
"I thought the Feng family was so tough, but I didn't expect that they would have to give in when they met the Great Zhou royal family."
Seeing this scene, the practitioners watching were immediately disdainful. Obviously, even ordinary practitioners could see that the Feng family had no intention of going to war with the city guards. Otherwise, they would not have welcomed the high-ranking city guards into the Feng family, but would have directly taken action. Even if they did not start a war, they would at least activate the protective formation to stop the city guards.
…
Feng Yan had fought with the Feng family's ancestor before, so she didn't dare to get too close to the cultivator who left with the ancient phoenix essence, otherwise the other party would easily discover Feng Yan's presence. Yang Qi had no choice but to send out the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada to carefully observe the cultivator who left with the ancient phoenix essence.
“The other party should have changed his appearance, and his strength is hidden at the Martial Sect level.” Through the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada, Yang Qi quickly discovered the cultivator carrying the Ancient Phoenix Essence, who was a cultivator at the mid-level Martial Sect level. Combined with the previous actions of the city guards, he was completely unnoticeable in the chaotic city at this moment.
"There is too little information, so let's just get started." Feng Yan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi hurriedly said, "I'll go check it out myself."
He had no idea of the enemy's situation. The side effects of Feng Yan's secret technique had not yet disappeared. If he acted rashly, the chances of success would be very low, and he might even fall into a huge crisis.
Although the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada has the strength of a mid-level Martial Master, it is obviously impossible for it to see through the disguise of a high-level Martial Lord. Not to mention a high-level Martial Lord, even a mid-level Martial Lord is impossible.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed and he rushed directly towards the cultivator carrying the ancient phoenix essence. The two sides were dozens of miles apart, and with Yang Qi's speed, he quickly caught up with him.
“Sure enough, he has hidden his strength. Even I can’t see through it. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the ancestor of the Feng family.” Just by getting closer and sensing, Yang Qi discovered that the cultivator carrying the ancient phoenix essence was not as skilled as he showed. He was at least a mid-level martial arts master, and was most likely the ancestor of the Feng family.
Wow~
The middle-aged man who was heading out of the city seemed to have noticed something. He fixed his eyes and glanced in the direction of Yang Qi.
"One-star Martial Master?" The middle-aged man frowned, and then saw Yang Qi rushing towards the Feng family's location. His face darkened, "Heading towards the clan's land, is that a coincidence?"
After Yang Qi left, the middle-aged man quickened his pace to leave the city.
After leaving the middle-aged man's perception range, Yang Qi immediately changed direction and met Feng Yan behind him.
"It is most likely the ancestor of the Feng family. There are no other martial arts practitioners nearby, only him, so it shouldn't be a trap." Yang Qi expressed his perception and speculation.
"In that case..."
A sharp light flashed in Feng Yan's eyes. Only the ancestor of the Feng family was guarding the ancient phoenix essence. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to seize the ancient phoenix essence.
“Wait a little longer. I think the ancestor of the Feng family seems to be planning to leave Nanyan City. You can sense the location of the ancient phoenix essence. Waiting for him to leave the ancient city will be the best time for us to take action.” Yang Qi shook his head.
Feng Yan was startled, then nodded slightly, and then the two of them followed the middle-aged man quietly according to Feng Yan's perception. (To be continued)
