268. Chapter 268 Feng Qing'er: Many thanks to Young Master Gu Fei for the grace of rebirth!

"Now you know how to talk about reason?"

A mocking smirk appeared on the corner of Gu Fei's mouth.

His gaze swept coldly across the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan before him. These fellows did not have this attitude when they were besieging the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan earlier; they were as arrogant and domineering then as they were servile and fawning now.

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Feng Huang's heart sank instantly. A trace of despair flashed through her beautiful golden eyes, as she knew that today's matter would likely not end well. With the ancestor's phantom broken, how could she, with her cultivation at the mid-stage of a Two-Star Dou Saint, possibly block Gu Fei and the others?

Thinking of this, Feng Huang took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Young Master Gu Fei, this is indeed my clan's fault; we should not have gone to the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan to disturb your wife's quiet cultivation."

She spoke in a soft voice, a look of entreaty appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.

"I beg you, spare my clan!"

Having said this, Feng Huang suddenly knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the earth, her voice filled with a hint of pleading.

Seeing this proud Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan acting so submissively, the surrounding members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan all wore dejected expressions.

Once upon a time, their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was so majestic, yet now they had to beg for someone else's forgiveness so humbly.

"Heh, if you knew it would come to this, why act as you did in the beginning?"

Just at this moment, a cold, mocking voice suddenly came from the wooden cage at the top of the giant parasol tree.

Everyone looked up upon hearing this, only to see a woman with a graceful figure in a colorful dress leaning against the edge of the wooden cage, her eyes filled with mockery.

The person speaking was none other than Feng Qing'er, who felt extremely cold toward the clan's high-ranking members. At this moment, for the sake of her own satisfaction, she no longer cared about life or death.

"Audacious!"

"Feng Qing'er, you are a person guilty of crimes, yet you still dare to speak recklessly. It seems you no longer wish to live?"

Ying Huang and Kun Huang shouted sternly. Their eyes were wide open, filled with fury.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, rather than letting you take me to be a live sacrifice for that idiot Jiu Feng, it would be better to just die now and be done with it!"

Facing the two Elders' reprimands, Feng Qing'er felt not the slightest fear; instead, she sneered and mocked them.

"Back then, if it weren't for Jiu Feng courting death and failing to see the situation clearly, how could he have been killed!"

"And you high-ranking members, you convicted us without distinguishing right from wrong!"

"Was that kind of powerhouse something we could have stopped?"

"Furthermore, relying on the strength of our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to seek revenge on the Ancient Clan—isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock? Just because of the Clan Leader's personal vendetta, you drag the fate of our entire clan into this?"

Feng Qing'er's words were impassioned, every word piercing the heart.

Sparks of anger flashed in her bright eyes, and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment toward the clan's high-ranking members.

Once these words were spoken, they immediately caused a huge reaction among the clansmen.

Many nodded secretly, clearly quite in agreement with Feng Qing'er's words.

Many of these people had actually long been dissatisfied with the decisions of the clan's high-ranking members, but they had not dared to speak out due to their status and position.

Seeing the reaction of the clansmen at this moment, the expressions of Ying Huang and Kun Huang were clearly somewhat unnatural, especially Ying Huang; his aged face was filled with rage, and fierce light flickered in his eyes.

"Still babbling nonsense, you're courting death!"

Ying Huang roared, and then his palm moved; a giant golden eagle claw appeared out of thin air. The eagle claw was over ten zhang wide, emitting terrifying pressure, and it grabbed fiercely toward the wooden cage.

If this claw were to land, it was likely that no one inside the wooden cage would survive.

Just as the eagle claw was about to land on the wooden cage, an invisible force suddenly appeared, instantly shattering the golden eagle claw.

"Heh, interesting!"

Gu Fei chuckled; it was clearly he who had just acted to block Ying Huang's attack.

"He actually saved me?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes; she clearly had not expected Gu Fei to step in and help.

Seeing his attack easily neutralized, Ying Huang was clearly stunned: "Young Master Gu Fei, this old man is teaching a rebel within the clan a lesson; what is the meaning of this?"

However, he quickly feigned composure and questioned him.

No sooner had the words fallen than a purple-gold figure appeared like lightning in front of Ying Huang.

"What kind of thing are you, daring to speak to Brother Gu Fei like that!" Zi Yan snorted coldly, raised her leg, and kicked.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, in an instant, Ying Huang flew directly out and crashed into a mountain peak in the distance. The whole process was so fast that almost no one saw it clearly; it was as if a figure had flashed by, and the next moment, this fellow had just flown out on his own.

This left everyone stunned. Before they could react,

"Rumble!"

The entire mountain peak collapsed with a roar under this blow, dust and smoke rising everywhere. When the dust settled, everyone could clearly see Ying Huang's miserable state.

He was buried halfway into the pile of rubble, blood continuously gushing from his mouth, his life or death unknown.

This sudden scene left everyone present dumbfounded. One must know that Ying Huang was a powerhouse at the mid-stage of a One-Star Dou Sheng, yet he was kicked into this state by Zi Yan in a single blow.

The others were trembling all over, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Heh!

If I don't teach this fellow a lesson, I'm afraid he won't understand.

Do you think I came here to reason with you? The corners of Gu Fei's mouth rose slightly. "From now on, let her be the Clan Leader of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"

Seeing this, Gu Fei nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze toward the wooden cage and said indifferently.

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed at Feng Qing'er.

Once these words were spoken, the entire place was in an uproar.

Feng Huang and Kun Huang were even more shocked upon hearing this, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Let a junior with the cultivation of a Dou Zun be the Clan Leader?"

Feng Huang blurted out subconsciously, her tone carrying a hint of questioning.

As soon as the words left her lips, she realized she had spoken wrongly; she saw a cold glint flash in Gu Fei's eyes as he raised his hand and swung out a burst of energy.

"Puchi!"

Feng Qing'er, with her Two-Star Dou Saint cultivation, did not even have a chance to react before her body was pierced through by this burst of energy, and a large amount of blood gushed out, staining a patch of the sky red as she died on the spot.

"If anyone is dissatisfied, their fate will be just like hers!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

This scene completely shocked the experts of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan present.

Even Kun Huang, an expert at the late stage of One-Star Dou Sheng, was trembling at this moment, not daring to even let out a breath.

Subsequently, Gu Fei waved his hand lightly, and the massive wooden cage instantly fell to pieces, the dozen or so people imprisoned inside gaining their freedom in an instant.

"Let me be the Clan Leader?"

Feng Qing'er walked out of the wooden cage, her expression dazed.

She had never imagined that things would take such a massive turn.

However, could she really shoulder such a heavy responsibility? Given her qualifications, she was simply unworthy of this position of Clan Leader.

Feng Qing'er bit her lip; soon, she regained her senses, a glimmer of determination igniting in her beautiful eyes.

Since Young Master Gu Fei wanted her to be the Clan Leader, she had nothing to hesitate about! The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was becoming increasingly corrupt these days.

She must pull herself together.

She must properly change the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and make that kind of corruption disappear.

"Many thanks, Young Master Gu Fei!"

Thinking of this.

Feng Qing'er took a deep breath, faced the direction of Gu Fei, and knelt respectfully to pay her respects.

Gu Fei nodded.

Through the feedback of Emotion Value, Gu Fei could clearly perceive the inner thoughts of everyone. (End of this chapter)
