Chapter 257: Hongyan’s Blood-stained Hand

The phoenix bone issued an incomparable dazzling light with a wave of heat that engulfed Nangong Hongyan’s body. She was completely soaked as the bone slowly entered her blood and body. She looked just like a phoenix being reborn.

A phoenix would gain a new life after this process, and this was no different for Nangong Hongyan. After today, she would be able to embark on the path of cultivation. The beauty would no longer wither.

“Boom!” She pushed him away and ran to the side as if he was a terrible scourge. She only wanted to run as far away as possible and quickly made her way out of the Martial Tower.

Her mind was in disarray. Earlier, she wanted to kill him, but now, she has run away. In the end, she couldn’t bear to finish the deed and had to justify it in her mind: “He was lucky this time. I’ll spare him for now but will certainly take his life if we meet again. I definitely won’t let him live.”

She still couldn’t calm down and didn’t know why she decided to escape. Feng Feiyun should have been the one to run, but the opposite had happened.

The phoenix bone had fully fused with her body, making her skin emit a wondrous light. Praising it as a body made out of ice and jade wouldn’t be enough.

“Whoosh!” A faint strand of spirit energy hovered around her finger. She had actually opened her dantian, allowing her to now gestate spirituality and energy.

Adorned in her snow-white robe, she stood in the bamboo forest in a very proud fashion like an arrogant apricot flower. Her mind was full of thoughts; she needed to take a deep breath to calm down.

A second fiery cloud emerged around her body before she disappeared from sight again.

Xue Wu saw Nangong Hongyan return and came forward to ask: “Big Sis, is Feng Feiyun dead?”

“He… he will die sooner or later. He was lucky this time and managed to escape.” The flame around her body raged on while hovering in the sky with an oppressive aura. Her voice carried an inexplicable chill.

She didn’t want to let anyone know that she was the one who fled before Feng Feiyun, not the other way around. She didn’t dare to admit it even to her closest sisters.

“Feng Feiyun is very closely related to the Evil Woman, so he is full of secrets. Killing him is indeed difficult.” Xue Wu had interacted with Feng Feiyun often so she knew a bit about him.

“The Evil Woman is nothing. Once I gather all five divine garments, I can kill her as well!” Nangong Hongyan snorted as her flame surged like a tidal wave engulfing half of the sky.

Xue Wu felt something was wrong about Nangong Hongyan at this moment, a strange hostility towards the Evil Woman, so she reminded her: “Big Sis, we don’t need to provoke the Evil Woman!”

“Who?!” Nangong Hongyan’s hand reached out and attacked the clouds in the sky. Countless flashes of lightning emerged in that direction.

“Boom!” A silver-haired man was knocked down. He had four golden snakes coiled around his body with strange silver runes on them, resulting in a very bizarre appearance.

Lightning surged through his body contrary to his muddy and dark eyes.

“Lian Yifan!” Xue Wu recognized him.

The man had a Blood Seal Bracelet on his wrist. He was one of the ten esteemed guests in a special seat of the Genius Mansion. His talents were above Beiming Tang as another heaven-defying genius.

“Many of the talents in the meeting that night have inexplicably died. Hongyan, are you trying to erase everyone?”

Lian Yifan was initially one of the top disciples of the Senluo Temple. However, after he saw Nangong Hongyan’s supreme features, he was completely smitten by her and even willingly put on the blood bracelet to be under her control.

He was not the only one. Even the dead Beiming Tang, who was extremely arrogant, also obediently kneeled before her soul-stealing beauty and gave her his clan’s defining technique, the Northern Profound Divine Art. In the end, he died miserably in her hands.

Those who kneeled before her numbered far more than just these two. Even a bunch of old Heaven’s Mandate cultivators were willing to do so. Finally, even the best looking man in the world, Young Noble Flawless, was seduced by her as well. But now, he was imprisoned in a coffin while the others were dead!

It was precisely their terrible deaths that scared Lian Yifan. He felt that Nangong Hongyan was no longer a goddess and more of a she-devil now.

Nevertheless, he still held onto a glimmer of hope since he felt that he was the most qualified to have her and said: “Hongyan, my master is the deputy lord of the seventh hall in the Senluo Temple. Come with me, I will love you forever!”

“Is that so? Love me with what?” Nangong Hongyan felt that this was too funny. Only a foolish girl would believe whenever a man said such words.
