Chapter 3221: The Fenghuang Clan

When they heard that the middle-aged man was also a Godking, it immediately left them so frightened that they were speechless. They even bowed subconsciously.

“Yang Lie, d-don’t tell me you have more of that stuff?” the ancestor of the Yangji sect seemed to remember something, so he communicated to Yang Lie carefully. His eyes narrowed. He was unable to hide the fear in the depths of his eyes.

Apart from Guihai Yidao and Feng Xiaotian, the other ancestors of protector clans all looked towards Yang Lie.

Yang Lie nodded slowly. His expression was extremely ugly. He had left most of the resources in the lower world. He had only brought along a small number of items that were still useful to him in preparation for his breakthrough to Godhood. He never expected to catch the attention of someone as soon as he arrived in the Saints’ World, and it was the attention of a Godking at that.

“We’re done for…” The ancestor of the Yangji sect began seeing black spots. He almost fainted on the spot. The others all paled as well.

Suddenly, the Godking referred to as uncle Huo shuddered violently, and his face immediately turned bright red. Ravishing joy filled his eyes. As a matter of fact, due to being far too excited, he began to tremble violently.

He saw the resources in the Space Ring. Those heavenly resources with Xuanhuang Qi startled him so much that his heart felt like it was about to burst. His blood began to rage through his veins.

“These people must all be silenced! This is the capital city of the Pingtian Empire, where all fighting is forbidden, but as long as I do the deed a little more cleanly and handle the aftermath properly, I can still sweep it under the rug.” Uncle Huo made up his mind and killing intent stirred in his heart. He had to keep the items in the Space Ring a secret.

The resources in there were far too precious, so precious that even a Godking like him would lose his rationality.

“Hahaha, I never expected a mighty elder of the Fenghuang clan would actually steal an Origin realm junior’s Space Ring out in the open. If news of this spreads, you’re not worried that it’ll embarrass your Fenghuang clan?” The middle-aged man was just about to do it when another fancy carriage arrived. A middle-aged woman sat in the carriage, sneering towards the middle-aged man.

“Elder Huo, I know you have the natural ability to find treasures. Looks like some kind of treasure in these juniors’ possession has caught your eye. However, I have to warn you that this is the Pingtian Empire. If you break the Pingtian Empire’s rules in its territory, your Fenghuang clan cannot afford to face the consequences. Even if the ancestor of your Fenghuang clan is a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, your clan will still be destroyed if it needs to be,” the middle-aged woman said.

However, when Yang Lie and the others heard this, their knees immediately buckled out of fright. They almost fell back on their bottoms.

“A Primordial realm… A Primordial realm… the Fenghuang clan that this person is from actually has a Primordial realm expert…” At this moment, Yang Lie and the others were absolutely overwhelmed. The existence of a Primordial realm expert frightened them out of their wits.

Only Feng Xiaotian could remain somewhat composed. The effect of Primordial realm experts was not as great on him as it had been on Yang Lie and the others.

After all, the sect he was from also had Primordial realm experts, even though he did not know if they were Infinite Primes, Chaotic Primes, or Grand Primes.

However, in their eyes, all Primordial realm experts were the same.

They did not have an exact concept of the difference in strength between Primordial realm experts.

The middle-aged woman’s words made elder Huo’s face sink. He immediately suppressed his excitement and joy, staring at the middle-aged woman coldly with a darkened expression. He threatened her. “Your Hundred Acceptance sect struggles to even protect itself, yet you still have the spare courage to stick your nose in the business of others, making enemies for yourself for no good reason? Aren’t you afraid that our Fenghuang clan will work with your mortal enemies and target your Hundred Acceptance sect together?”

The middle-aged woman was unfazed by the threats. She said indifferently, “A Godking elder like you still isn’t capable of deciding something that important. However, if you break the laws of the Pingtian Empire, that will probably be the day when your Fenghuang clan gets destroyed, and it’ll be before our Hundred Acceptance sect too.”

Elder Huo snorted coldly. With a flick of his finger, a Space Ring immediately returned to Yang Lie’s hands. He said coldly, “As a Godking, I would never do something like robbing a junior, much less break the laws of the Pingtian Empire. I was just slightly intrigued earlier. Now, I’m returning this Space Ring to you.”

“Let’s go!” With that, elder Huo left this place on the carriage in a hurry, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Yang Lie instinctively checked the Space Ring, and he immediately became wry.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman arrived before Yang Lie and the others. From their disorderly presence, she could tell with a single glance that they had just arrived from a lower world. She could not help but show some sympathy, even some reminiscence.

It was as if she saw her past self from Yang Lie and the others.

“You should leave here quickly. Something you possess has caught the eye of elder Huo from the Fenghuang clan. Given the type of person he is, he probably won’t give up. Remaining here is very dangerous to you,” the middle-aged woman spoke gently. As she said that, she took out a few more high grade divine crystals for Yang Lie and the others. “Take these divine crystals. You’ll need them on the road. If it’s possible, you should go to the Dong’an province of the Pingtian Empire.”

“Sigh, it’s a pity that our Hundred Acceptance sect can’t even protect ourselves. Otherwise, you could join our Hundred Acceptance sect, as I’m the same as you. I’m also from a lower world.”

“This is all that I can help you with. Whether you can survive in this brutal world is up to your own fate.”

Tossing over some divine crystals, the middle-aged woman left on the carriage, entering the capital city.

With their departure, Guihai Yidao and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. Everyone felt like they had just evaded death. Their hearts finally settled too.

As soon as they thought about how they had just faced a Godking expert, they immediately felt like they had survived a close shave.

“Yang Lie, take a look. Is there anything missing from the Space Ring?” Guihai Yidao asked in a hurry.

Yang Lie tossed the Space Ring to the ground casually. He fumingly said, “This isn’t my Space Ring. It’s empty inside. There’s absolutely nothing. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought those items up with me.”

“I told you a long time ago. It’s very dangerous to carry items that are worth too much. With our strength, it’s not like we can sell these heavenly resources. If any experts discover it, it’ll only lead to trouble, yet you simply refused to listen.”

“We’ve been quite unlucky too, encountering a Godking expert who possesses a special ability. That’s the only reason why he noticed it immediately.”

The other ancestors of the protector clans all grumbled as well.

Feng Xiaotian sighed and said with lingering fear, “It’s fine if we lost that. It’s fine if we lost that. Those items were like hot potatoes to us. Now that we don’t have them anymore, it’s much less dangerous in the Saints’ World too.”

Feng Xiaotian subconsciously glanced at the imposing capital city behind him in great respect. He murmured, “Though, this Pingtian Empire sure is terrifying. They can even destroy peak clans with Primordial realm experts at a whim.”
