Chapter 578: Please Spare Me, Your Eminence
Chapter 578: Please Spare Me, Your Eminence
"Is there any issue?" Feiling said, trying to mimic the tone of Xuanyuan Xi.
"I wouldn't dare!" Fang Qingli hurriedly said, bowing her head even lower than before. "I thought Your Eminence would be able to rise up to the heavens right away."
"You're overthinking this. I have to start over. I had ascended within twenty years before, so this time ten should be enough. In the coming days, I want the descendants like you to help me to the best of your ability."
"Understood! All the descendants will do our best!"
So far, she seemed to have no doubt about Feiling’s identity at all. Her divine body was still the same, after all. Thankfully, Tianming had prepared her to act haughty back then, just in case situations like this occurred, or the act wouldn't hold up at all.
As she spoke, Feiling retrieved the divine blood and put it in her spatial ring. Who knew that a single drop of Xuanyuan Xi's blood would allow her descendants to track her down.
Xuanyuan Xi's certainty about her revival a hundred thousand years from then no doubt has something to do with Perpetia. Ling'er said that once Xuanyuan Xi ascended to godhood, she could summon Perpetia and enter it at will, Tianming thought. It now seemed that they had no choice but to go to the Archaion Sect. It would be weird for Feiling to refuse protection from the descendants of Xuanyuan Xi after ending up so weak after her revival, after all.
"Take me back to the sect," Feiling said without waiting for Fang Qingli to bring it up.
"Understood." Fang Qingli obediently waved for her green phoenix to land. It had four wings and seemed really elegant and refined in comparison to the unimpressive Ying Huo.
The phoenix lowered its head to Feiling and said, "Your Eminence, please come up."
Feiling, being familiar with noble customs due to having been a princess herself, didn't rush to go up and instead stretched her hand out for Fang Qingli to help her up.
Wow, she's like a whole different person! Tianming thought. She really worked hard to perfect her act.
Fang Qingli was as nervous as she was respectful, and carefully pulled Feiling up. Tianming also jumped to mount the phoenix, but right before he did, it suddenly turned and glared at him, applying a huge pressure on him.
"What kind of vulgar peasant dares not to pay Lord Green Phoenix any respects?" someone cried.
Before Tianming could react in mid air, a figure appeared before him and struck him in the abdomen with a palm. He spat out blood furiously as his organs ruptured. If not for the Purple Tower taking the brunt of the attack, it would be enough to take out three of his saint springs! He had almost been crippled with a single strike.
He had thought everything was going well; why was he attacked all of a sudden? His eyes turned bloodshot—he had never been this injured even after facing off against Dongyang Yun and Autarch Qian. Was it just because he was trying to follow Feiling up onto the phoenix?
Tianming grit his teeth and struggled to get up and look at the one who attacked him. It was the youth who had come with Fang Qingli, Xuanyuan Yuheng. He was about the same age as Tianming, but he seemed a thousand times stronger than even Autarch Qian. Tianming had no way to resist and could only await death. The attack made him ever more aware of what Weisheng Yunxi had told him about the might of the Nine Divine Realms.
