Chapter 261: The Phoenix Clan's Decision
"I'm thinking about something." Jingchen interrupted.
"What? Just say it." She frowned.
"As for the barrier, the city lord himself may be able to break it, but the problem is that we are entering and leaving the ghost world, and everyone else is unaware of it. What should we do?" Jingchen asked.
Feng Xiao continued: "Anyway, take some medicine to drive away evil spirits and avoid Yin before going in, there will be no danger anyway."
"I will accompany you when I recover my spiritual power. Don't worry." Long Jin made up his mind to go.
Compared to these, she remembered the tasks she assigned to Jingchen and Fengxiao before leaving. She had asked Jingchen to find Emperor Ning and tell him not to think about useless things all day long, otherwise he would be beheaded. She also asked him to find a way to make the neighboring countries give up the idea of the Jiuzhou Ding.
Feng Xiao went back to Jianmu to ask his mother whether she was willing to send people from the Phoenix Clan to build a national defense city for Ningguo. As a condition, she could forgive the Phoenix Clan for their betrayal and give them equality and dignity. If they were not willing to continue working as craftsmen in Fuyue City, they could return to Jianmu's hometown and be free to come and go without being restricted by others.
When the two mentioned this, Jing Chen's face was normal. He said, "The old guy was scared by me last time. When I went to see him again, he thought I wanted to kill him and half-knelt on the ground. So when I said it, he agreed. Now he is trying to find some people in the temple to preach to various countries. Maybe the world can be peaceful only when the Jiuzhou Ding is restored. In addition, there are civil officials who will follow Ruo He to find a way to persuade neighboring countries to give up attacking the cultivation world, but at present, no one can guarantee that they will really listen to the advice."
Mu Hanxing had an idea in mind, and looked at Feng Xiao again. Seeing that he had a serious expression, he knew that things were probably not going well.
"From your expression, does your mother disagree?"
Feng Xiao sighed and said bluntly: "The heaven is in chaos. For the sake of the Phoenix Clan, mother has chosen to remain neutral now."
"What's going on? Stay neutral?" She felt something was wrong as soon as she heard it.
"The news that you are still alive has spread to many places, including Huajing, Huaiyu Town, Wenxin Gate, Xicheng... and now Qihua Island. It is estimated that it won't be long before all three realms know that you are still alive. Therefore, Leng Feiren is trying to win over the tribes in the heaven and prepare to unite against you... or Cangxue." Feng Xiao looked at her seriously and said solemnly.
Sure enough, Leng Feiren probably already knew that she was still alive.
The reason why he didn't dare to rush over and take her life was probably because he was afraid of the power of the Cangxue Sword.
On that day, she was knocked down from the sky by the Taichen Sword because she lacked spiritual power and had used up a lot of it.
Now, today is different from the past. She has experienced a lot, and the Cangxue Sword has almost become one with her. She can no longer be easily defeated by Taichen.
"Of course, my mother has also received the news. Leng Feiren wants to re-sign a contract with the Phoenix Clan and make the Phoenix Clan dependent on him."
When Feng Xiao returned, the negotiations had already ended. His mother pondered deeply in the bedroom for several days, and her complexion only improved slightly when he returned.
"Xiao'er! You're back?" The patriarch looked surprised.
"Well, mother, I came back to discuss something important with you."
Who would have thought that just a few days after Leng Feiren's people went back, Mu Hanxing sent her son to personally request the Phoenix Clan to build a defensive city for Ningguo in the human world. Judging from the rumors outside and the current situation, it is a fact that the Cangxue Sword is no match for the Taichen Sword. Logically, she should choose to cooperate with Leng Feiren without hesitation.
But Feng Xiao's return this time made her hesitate again. Seeing that he was safe and sound and in high spirits, she knew that Mu Hanxing treated him well. If he really cooperated with Leng Feiren, it would be tantamount to handing over the dignity and fate of the entire Phoenix clan to Fuyue City, and the days of enslavement would have to start all over again.
But if she cooperates with Mu Hanxing, can she still regain the position of city lord?
However, now that Feng Xiao had come down to earth and experienced many things with her, they had even gone through life and death difficulties together. Even if she went crazy again in the future, she would be extra forgiving and caring towards the Phoenix Clan because of Feng Xiao...
What should I do now? How should I choose?
"Let me ask you, how does she treat you?"
In the Fengming Hall on top of Jianmu, the clan leader confirmed with Feng Xiao once again.
Feng Xiao answered truthfully: "Actually... she has always been very good to me, never abused me, nor forced me, and even more so, she would not disregard my life at the critical moment of life and death... She and I encountered an evil spirit in the human world who was proficient in the ghost way and could materialize my appearance. At the critical moment, she put away her sword, fearing that she would hurt me in the slightest."
Thinking back to that thrilling day, his heart still felt aching, yet his heart was also moved.
"There is actually...this thing..." The patriarch was silent.
"She actually knew a long time ago that our Phoenix Clan was one of the rebels who attacked Fuyue City, but she has always been kind to me regardless of the past... Mother, I want to make it up to her this time. Although our Phoenix Clan advocates freedom, we should not be ungrateful. Since she has forgiven us for the past and promised to release all the slaves in the Phoenix Clan, why don't we help her now and help her return to heaven?" Feng Xiao advised.
The clan leader also considered it for a long time. When Leng Feiren sent people to negotiate, he naturally exaggerated the benefits. However, Leng Feiren had no advantages except the blessing of the Taichen Sword...
The clan leader said to him: "In addition to the Heaven Realm, Leng Feiren is now gathering his people on a large scale in the Three Realms. In addition to our Phoenix Clan and the Moon Palace that has already surrendered, there is also the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox."
"The Moon Palace has surrendered!" Feng Xiao was extremely shocked. "What is Qingqiu's attitude?"
"No one knows. Everyone is weighing the pros and cons. I heard that after Leng Feiren accepted the Moon Palace, many people in Fuyue City began to resist. Most of them were family members of soldiers who died on the battlefield. They would never ally with the enemy."
This move was the city lord's idea, but it failed to shake Leng Feiren's decision?
"Forget it. Now all forces are constraining, estimating, and balancing each other. No one can come up with an idea for the time being. I already know about the construction of Ningguo's city defense. Please let me think about it for a few more days." The patriarch finally said.
Seeing that she looked tired and solemn, Feng Xiao didn't say anything more, so he took his leave and left Jianmu.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Hanxing began to feel anxious again.
She is trying to win over forces in the three realms, and Leng Feiren will naturally do the same.
And Qingqiu Fox... Tianni... is her enemy, and no one knows which side she will choose in the end. It’s a headache. If the opponent’s power is too huge, how will she be able to return to Fuyue City in this lifetime?
"What are you afraid of?" Long Jin saw her worry and asked her in a domineering tone.
With this reminder, she remembered that there was a little dragon on her shoulder: "Oh, right, in addition to the Heart-Searching Sect, I also have the power of the Liyuan Palace... Will you help me?"
"Nonsense, why wouldn't I help you?" Long Jin touched her cheek with his head.
Kind of cute...
My husband is so reliable.
