The scene instantly changed to half a year ago when Feng Ling became the High Priestess.

Standing on the city gate tower, Feng Ling looked at the warriors who were about to go on an expedition and at the awe-inspiring man who was sitting on a horse with an iron-blooded domineering aura. She walked towards the giant war drum.

Feng Lan, who was following behind her, asked in a low voice with a worried tone, “Sister, there’s a batch of dark warlocks in Navy Tide Nation. Can the Grand General defeat them this time? If he can’t, with the coldness of the King of Canglan, our Phoenix Skies will fall into misery and suffering.”

Feng Ling only said, “Grand General and I will definitely not allow Navy Tide Nation to invade Phoenix Skies.”

The sacrificial dance performed by the High Priestess not only transcended the souls of the dead, but it also boosted the morale and gave the warriors energy.

Feng Ling had been chosen as the successor of the High Priest since she was young. From the age of ten, she had danced many sacrificial dances.

Feng Lan was Feng Ling’s younger sister and also her guardian.

When Feng Ling took off her embroidered shoes and stood on the big drum, the soldiers waiting outside the city gate all looked up.

Clad in white, she had a fair face and black lustrous hair. She raised her hand and turned around. As she twisted her waist and kicked her legs, softness and power turned into sparkling light spots that emitted from her body. The light spots instantly spread towards the heads of all the soldiers, giving them powerful energy.

Amid the beating of the drums on the hearts of everyone, all the soldiers tightened their grip on their spears and bows.

When the ritual dance ended, Chu Luo stood on the drum and stared at the man sitting on the tall horse.

The man turned his horse around and led the army away quickly.

The scene changed again.

It actually brought her to this war that Chu Luo had never seen with her own eyes.

Chu Luo remembered very clearly that the invincible iron-blooded general had been seriously injured in this war. It was her master who had exhausted half of his cultivation that saved him.

Chu Luo had always thought that it was because of the warlocks from Navy Tide Nation.

Until now, when she saw Feng Lan outside the battlefield.

Chu Luo sneered. “So you’re already possessed by now. Did I trust you too much?”

At this point, she lost interest in watching.

“Hmph! You’re just a trace of a soul left behind and you want to trap me?”

After she said that, the Phoenix Zither appeared. She turned around, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and quickly started playing.

The moment the Phoenix Zither was played, the surrounding dreamscape slowly disintegrated.

Just as the song was about to end, Feng Lan’s voice suddenly came from beside her ear, “Sister, don’t you want to know why General Ironblood never said a word to you?”

Chu Luo frowned. She knew that the black aura was trying to disturb her mood and said coldly, “No.”

With a flick of her finger, the last note appeared and the black aura instantly dissipated.

When Chu Luo opened her eyes, she had already returned to reality.

The darkness around her had disappeared and Li Yan was holding her hand tightly.

Li Yan said to her, “Luoluo, someone’s here.”

Chu Luo raised her hand and the phoenix circling Li Yan transformed into a red light that returned to her wrist.

Li Yan looked at the phoenix birthmark on her wrist and seemed to have thought of something, but he didn’t say anything.

Chu Luo glanced to the side. Qin Xin and Qin Meng were lying there and had obviously fainted.

Qin Xiang was still struggling in the pond.

At this moment, a large group of people was indistinctly walking on the path blocked by the ornamental trees and doing so quickly.

Among these people, the Qin family was in charge. The Qin family masters’ emotions couldn’t be read from their faces, but the younger generation all had furious expressions.

The people walking behind them started discussing.

Even though they were very far away, Chu Luo could understand what was going on after seeing this.

She turned to look at Li Yan. Seeing that he was still standing, she asked, “Aren’t you going to sit back down? These people obviously want to catch adultery on the spot and want to hold you responsible.”

“Hmph!” Li Yan quickly exuded a powerful aura and his voice was so cold that it felt like ice shards were about to fall off. “These people think since I’m a cripple, they can scheme against me. So I’ll let them see how I can stand up.”

Hearing this, Chu Luo smiled.

At this moment, the group of people had already walked out of the ornamental tree path.

One of the young men shouted before he could see what was going on, “Li Yan, what did you do to my younger sisters?”

After the young man finished shouting, he realized that something was wrong.

He saw the man standing under the moonlight exuding a strong murderous aura.

Everyone was stunned.

After a while, Third Master Duanmu asked in surprise, “Li Yan, your legs are healed?”

The expressions of the masters of the Qin family were a little complicated, and the young man was still in shock.

Eldest Master Qin stood up and glanced at his two nieces who had fainted. He said to the two young men beside him, “Hurry up and take Qin Xin and Qin Meng away.”

The two young men responded with an “oh” but didn’t move.

At this moment, Li Yan’s murderous aura was too strong and they didn’t dare to walk over.

Eldest Master Qin’s face darkened and he walked over.

The other three masters of the Qin family quickly followed.

The others stood there and didn’t dare to move.

The four masters of the Qin family walked up to the unconscious Qin Xin and Qin Meng. Fourth Master Qin squatted down to check on his daughter.

However, Eldest Master Qin stopped him.

Eldest Master Qin said, “Let them lie down first.”

He then looked at Li Yan with a serious gaze. “Li Yan, what did my two nieces do to make you knock them out here?”

Li Yan looked back at him coldly. “What did they do? Don’t your Qin family know yet?”

Chu Luo reminded everyone, “There’s another one in the pond.”

Everyone subconsciously looked over and saw Qin Xiang, who was about to lose her strength from struggling, about to sink to the bottom of the pool.

Third Master Qin’s expression changed and he quickly shouted, “Someone save Xiangxiang!”

Two Qin family bodyguards quickly jumped down to save her.

Qin Xiang was wearing a low-cut dress, and the material was very thin. When the bodyguards rescued her and placed her on the ground in the middle, they didn’t even dare to look at her.

One of the young men from the Qin family quickly took off his coat to cover her and quickly gave her CPR.

The moment Qin Xiang regained her senses, she sat up and said sternly, “Li Yan, how dare you throw me into the lake! If anything happens to me, I want you…”

“Qin Xiang, shut up!”

Only then did Qin Xiang discover everyone.

Her eyes widened at first. In the next second, she remembered that all her backing had arrived and pointed at Li Yan. “Uncles, Dad, Li Yan threw me into the pond just now. You have to uphold justice for me.”

After saying that, she started crying.

“Why don’t you tell them why Yan threw you down?” Chu Luo suddenly interrupted. “Or are you afraid to say it?”

When Qin Xiang heard this, her expression changed slightly. In the next second, she retracted her expression and wiped her tears. “I just happened to pass by and saw Li Yan here. I came over to greet him. I didn’t expect him to throw me into the pond without saying anything.”

When Chu Luo heard this, the sneer on her face widened. “Do you think that with only Yan here and no evidence, you can distort the truth?”

“Nonsense!”

Qin Xiang said angrily, “How can it be just me alone? I even brought a housekeeper.”

After saying that, she went to look for Qin Zhao. Since Chu Luo was here, Qin Zhao should be here too.

“Where’s that housekeeper you mentioned?”

Chu Luo also scanned everyone. “Where is she?”

“Hmph!”

Li Yan clearly lost his patience and called out, “Qin Ming.”

Qin Ming walked over from the other end of the bridge with a camera in his hand.

Chu Luo looked at the camera and tilted her head to look at Qin Xiang, whose expression had changed instantly.

At this moment, Eldest Master Qin said, “Xiangxiang drank too much tonight. She must have been drunk just now.”

After saying that, Eldest Master Qin said with his back facing the crowd, “Get a few people to take Xiangxiang and the others away.”

The others from the Qin family also reacted at this moment. They quickly came over and the three youngsters carried Qin Xiang and the other two away.

Eldest Master Qin then looked at Li Yan and said, “Our Qin family didn’t treat our guests well. Why don’t we find a place to sit down and have a good talk?”

Eldest Master Qin’s words meant that he was relenting to Li Yan.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Li Yan.

Before Li Yan could speak, a laugh came from the crowd.

Third Master Duanmu walked out with a smile and said, “Your Qin family really entertain your guests in a grand manner. Li Yan only came out to take a breather, but the three daughters of the Qin family passed by on the way.”

These words made most of the Qin family’s expressions change.

However, Eldest Master Qin’s expression remained the same. He kept looking at Li Yan as if he hadn’t heard Third Master Duanmu.

Li Yan said coldly, “There’s no need to talk about it.”

With that, he held Chu Luo’s hand and walked down the bridge.

Qin Ming pushed his wheelchair and followed.

As the three of them passed by, everyone subconsciously made way.

Everyone knew that tonight’s matter wouldn’t end just like that.

Seeing Li Yan leave, Third Master Duanmu called out to Lan Lan, who was standing at the side. He smiled happily at the masters of the Qin family whose faces had darkened. “It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave with my niece now.”

With that, he led Lan Lan out.

With deep eyes, Eldest Master Qin looked towards the direction where Li Yan and the others left.

Second Master Qin asked in a low voice, “Big Brother, what should we do now?”

Eldest Master Qin: “Send the guests out.”

Second Master Qin quickly straightened up and said to everyone, “Everyone, something happened with our family tonight. It’s not convenient for us to continue entertaining everyone. The banquet will end here.”

Everyone present definitely didn’t want to stay anymore. They had to go back and consider their positions.

So they left after being sent off by the few youngsters.

As soon as the guests left, a servant ran over and said to the masters, “Masters, Old Master wants you to see him immediately.”
